Tom Brady plays for the Buccaneers now? When did that happen? I thought he played for the New England Kraft Mac ‘n’ Cheez team! It’s really hard to follow football when you only watch one day a year.
Wow, I don’t care about 99% of this. There had better be some good commercials. I’m interested in what The Weeknd does with the halftime show.
Regarding who I’m rooting for, here is my Facebook post from earlier this week:
I always tear up when someone sings the Black national anthem (“Lift Every Voice and Sing”). Waaaaay better than the milky-white one.
Oooo there’s a show coming out based on Silence of the Lambs and they’re using the font from the original movie! Nice touch.
Holy crap, Paramount put their mountain with stars behind the stadium using some green screen whatnot and I seriously thought there was a giant mountain with stars hovering in the sky. I do not know what is real and what is fake anymore. It’s the end days, people! Stop messing with my head!
They’re doing a really beautiful film that meant to evoke emotions and it’s evoking emotions. I’m trying to fight it because it’s intentionally treacly but I’m losing. I was fine with the parents of the players talking about how much they love their kids but one of the players left to go work in a hospital in Canada during Covid. He gave up on his Super Bowl dreams to help people. Right in the feels.
The Chiefs fan chant is so incredibly racist. Look it up. They need to catch up with the times. My God.
I do not know the two people singing the national anthem. This is shaping up to be a profoundly underwhelming experience.
I’m going to ignore Amanda Gorman the national youth poet laureate because that felt weird and inappropriate.
Okay, the coin toss. That means they’re going to start playing which is where I check out. I’m going to go on Tumblr until something happens worth acknowledging.
M&M commercial with Dan Levy is good.
Logitech commercial with Lil Nas X is good. Love that makeup artist.
New M. Night Shyamalan movie looks good.
Daveed Diggs rapping with Sesame Street is good.
I am rooting for the Buccaneers because I like the color choices on their pants. #sports
The Doritos commercial with Matthew Mcconaughey is not good.
I just learned the Empire State Building is lit in the two colors of the teams and flashes the teams color when that team gets a goal. Next time I will try to find a place with a view so I can see that.
The Buccaneers are destroying the Chiefs and now it’s the halftime show. I’m happy because I despise the racism of the Chiefs but I’m sad because I’m sick of Tom Brady’s stupid face.
The set The Weeknd starts on is clever, it looks like a poster but it’s 3D. They use trickery of the eye.
Did an angel-demon hybrid fall out of the sky, what the actual hell?
Oh, it’s just a cyborg gospel choir.
Wow, he goes backstage and it’s a carnival mirror maze, so cool.
I love this.
He’s singing “I Can’t Feel My Face When I’m With You” and dancers all have nose job gauze wrappings that cover their mouths as well, great way to work masks into the performance.
Now everyone is out on the field and either they’re using plastic filters on some of the cameras or we, as a nation, have astigmatism.
Ah, fireworks, that means we’re done with half time. And I am done with this game. Anything that happens after now matters not to me.
Addendum: The Reddit ad is clever and I like it. It references owls as well, extra points for that.
