Dull was expected. Boring was predicted.

But there were lively moments during the Mike Pence-Tim Kaine vice presidential debate Tuesday night, and things were even more lively on social media, where Julia Louis-Dreyfus kept popping up — or rather, her characters did.

The “Veep” star opened Snapchat’s story on the debate in her role as Selina Meyer, her HBO “Veep” character. “What the hell is Snapchat and why am I doing this?” she said in classic “Veep” fashion.

The Snap story also included Donald Trump’s campaign manager Kellyanne Conway speaking up for Pence, and Gov. Terry McAuliffe saying all Kaine had to do to win the night was “be himself.”

There were “Veep” tweets:

And Julia Louis-Dreyfus also showed up in her old “Seinfeld” character, Elaine, as she was compared to debate moderator Elaine Quijano.

Aside from “Veep,” a real veep — #Biden — was trending all night:

There were lots of jokes about drinking games:

Vox’s Bingo card looked like this:

People noticed that the candidates were sitting and wondered why Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, who are both older than the veep candidates, had to stand. (In some previous veep debates, candidates were also sitting.)

And there were the Kaine wisecracks — not likening him to a kindly dad, as they were during his Democratic National Convention speech:

And, for anyone who missed it, it’s likely we’ll see “Saturday Night Live” recreate the whole thing this weekend:
