Jimmy Kimmel, the man behind celebrities reading mean tweets and parents pranking their children until they cry, is also the founder of one of our nation’s most essential holidays: National Unfriend Day.

For the sixth year in a row, Kimmel is encouraging his audience, and all fed-up Facebook users nationwide, to eliminate their least likable Facebook friends.

This year, in the spirit of venting, Jimmy Kimmel Live invited people on the street to don various masks and rant about their worst Facebook friends. That, or it’s all a ruse to see nudes.

Perplexing as the execution may be, the holiday itself is a great reminder to free yourself of any social media ties that shackle you.

So take a scroll through your friend list and unfriend to your heart’s content!
