【Kurt Meinicke】
This isOne Good Thing,Kurt Meinicke a weekly column where we tell you about the only nice thing that happened on the internet this week.
It's been a long, hot week for many of us. The constant presence of sweat, on top of continuous political chaos andthe confusing nature of a mid-week holiday break, can be a lot to deal with.
Beyoncé, however, is here to help.

Beyoncé, along with her husband Jay-Z, are in the midst of their On The Run II tour, and for the average card-carrying member of the BeyHive, tour season is everything.
Every night, they perform their hits for a galaxy of fans. Like clockwork, following any performance, the internet is flooded with clips of the Queen (and her husband, too) performing a classic bop or climbing down an emergency ladder. Some days a joint album might appear online (surprise!), while other days it's the simple yet powerful blessing of new photos on Instagram.
But it's moments like the one captured in the charming video -- captured by Instagram user mavawillger at the Cologne, Germany show -- that are really what make the internet great again.
Let's breakdown what is happening here.
For the closing number of the show, the Carters like to do "Young Forever," which gives Beyoncé plenty of room for a little fun. In the clip, you can see her essentially just flexing her vocal prowess at the end of a line in the song.
Then, we hear Jay-Z, who is off to the left of her, interrupting this musical blessing with a strained and cracking voice that sounds so different from what we just heard from Beyoncé.
"Beautiful! Beautiful!," he croaks.
If Bey had just carried on singing the hook of the song, it would have been a hilarious moment from a normally tightly choreographed show, but nope. Not today. She looks so startled by his croak (please tell me what else this should be classified as because it is truly a CROAK!) and starts laughing before finishing the song. His yelp makes him sound decades older than he is, and it's all made even better when you mentally pair it with the memes of Jay on a jet-ski floating around this week.
I literally can't stop watching it, and I'm not the only one getting a kick out of it.

Beyoncé has long gotten flack for cultivating an image of perfection, and it's rare we get to see her slip up in a genuine way that reveals she is human after all. So seeing a split second of her laughing at the unexpected and horrendous sounds of adoration from her husband is hilarious and sweet. It might not make this heat wave go away, but somehow, it helps.
