#AskThicke, a VH1-sponsored Twitter Q&A with Robin Thicke, was the number one trend on the social network site on Tuesday. But probably not for the reason the singer or the network wanted it to be.
Instead of fans flocking to Twitter to use the hashtag to ask questions about his career, his biggest critics bombarded him with sarcastic inquiries about everything from his sexually suggestive lyrics in “Blurred Lines,” that “Beetlejuice”-inspired suit he wore at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, and his efforts to win back estranged wife Paula Patton, who left him after numerous allegations of infidelity.

It’s actually incredibly hard to find a single sincere question for Thicke to answer when he’s supposed to start answering them at 1:30 p.m. ET.
In the meantime, take a look at a very small sampling of all the fun, below:

I kind of feel like we should stop picking on Robin Thicke using #AskThicke, but then I remember we all know he wants it, so it’s all good.
