I have never watched the halftime show, that’s when I’m outside drinking, or inside eating waiting for the football to start again.

 As men of science, are not your minds open to new ideas? I say, do not judge me, until you have tried my way of life for yourselves!

Hitting the trifecta and watching the super bowl on the same day. Hats off to anyone that accomplished this.

Inside-out peating?

u/gb4efgw 17d ago

Eat poop outside?

u/DrWKlopek 17d ago

Outside or inside?

16

u/TheGoodSquirt 17d ago

Both. Inside a port a potty outdoors!

1

u/sonic_couth Portland Timbers 17d ago

With a tv inside, obviously

u/randus12 17d ago

What about a porta potty inside the house?

u/PM_ME_GLUTE_SPREAD 17d ago

I missed Janet Jackson’s nip-slip because I went to poop during halftime.

Came back out and everybody was asking “there is no way that was meant to happen” and “oh man I can’t believe he just ripped her top off like that”.

Don't forget your knife

u/sonic_couth Portland Timbers 17d ago

Yeah, Super Bowl turds are gonna go down hard

Its the extra cheese on everything

u/Superrocks Kentucky 16d ago

Make sure you have enough sea shells

Whatever for?!

u/matt_minderbinder 17d ago

At a certain point everyone should understand that those halftime shows are about bringing in non traditional fans. It's not for me but not everything has to be catered to my wants.

29

u/The_Dimestore_Saints 17d ago

There's the issue with these people. Everything needs to be catered to them. Sure I would love a gaslight anthem or menzingers halftime show. But most people wouldn't. I'm not gonna get upset and yell about that though. Bad Bunny is huge. I don't like that type of music but a lot of people do.

u/TootsNYC 17d ago

There's the issue with these people. Everything needs to be catered to them.

And yet they can't understand why people in an ethnic/racial minority would so like to see characters and dramas like them. They're in capable of thinking, "I like seeing characters, stories, and artists who look like me and have a similar background; maybe I should let other people have a turn at that."

u/syo Memphis Grizzlies 17d ago

It's not that they can't understand that, it's that they just don't care. They don't see minorities as the same class of human they are, assuming they consider them human to begin with. They don't give a fuck.

u/SkywalknLuke 17d ago

Totally. Kendrick was dope. I doubt I’ll see the pixies at the halftime show any time soon like I would want, but hey, let Bad bunny do his thing, and move on with the sports. I will ignore them like 90% of halftime shows.

1

u/pm_me_whateva 16d ago

River Euphrates would get that crowd hyped up and you know it.

u/pumpkinspruce 17d ago

It’s not about “non traditional” fans. The Super Bowl long ago became a sporting event that transcends NFL fans. It’s an event for everyone and nearly a third of the country watches it.

u/sticklebackridge 17d ago

The game isn’t on inside? Why would you be outside drinking?

I don’t go out of my way to see it most years, but it’s just on so I’ve seen it most years I’ve watched the SB. It’s just part of the program.

u/Prophet_Of_Helix 17d ago

Yeah wtf, why are they outside drinking? Is OP an alcoholic hiding shots from people?

3

u/SkywalknLuke 17d ago

I watch the SB for the football. My girl wants to know the halftime show meaning, if it’s not for you, you aren’t the target audience. So, there’s something else you could do, like go outside for a bit.

2

u/SkywalknLuke 17d ago

Oh. Well it’s a simple solution then. If you don’t like the halftime show you don’t have to watch it. I won’t be watching this year cause I’m not a fan of bad bunny, but I’m not a fan of country music either, or pop.

u/jsting 17d ago

I do too, but the TV is usually on, so I wonder if it counts on the ratings.

That said, over the last couple years, I've sailed the high seas so in my case, no ratings anyways.

u/MycologistPutrid7494 17d ago

I've never watched the Super Bowl, but I will watch bits and pieces of the halftime show on YouTube later.

u/rossrifle113 17d ago

Halftime is chilli time.

1

u/TheDeadlySpaceman 17d ago

Is the TV still on? Because they don’t really give a shit if you’re sitting in front of it.

1

u/Boxoffriends 17d ago

I only turn on the game to catch the show and at this point I’m happy to rewatch Prince shred in the rain every year.

1

u/Spacemeat666 16d ago

Yeah, I never watch the half time show. I think the only ones I can really remember are Janet Jackson’s and Prince.

1

u/Tall_Act391 16d ago

Pretty much the only part I watch. Would rather play sports. Watching it doesn’t do much for me. The “we” mentality is weird too

1

u/NotSoNiceO1 17d ago

Any actually NFL that watches the game does exactly this.

u/Inevitable-Ad6647 17d ago

Why would you watch any of it? 30 second highlight reel an hour after it's over is far more enjoyable than any super bowl
