What the hell was that?

What was that halftime show all about?
Why was Phil Collins dressed like a Maine lobsterman?
Was Toni Braxton having an orgasm at the end?
What were those marionettes supposed to represent?
Why do I feel like I accidentally turned on South Park after the second quarter?

Remember, I’m pulling for you; we’re all in this together.

I missed the halftime show, the people I was with played some damn N64 hockey game.

I sold my soul to Satan for a dollar. I got it in the mail.

You didn’t miss much.

Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted.

As I told zette and Joph in the chat room:

“It’s like a car wreck! I’m horrified, but I can’t look away!!!”

“You are sweet, kind, and considerate… Like a grown up boy scout with tits!” - Brian, aka SDMB’s one and only Satan.

Jophiel asked me the same thing, Rilchiam, and I had no idea either. I gathered it was supposed to be part of Disney’s all-year Millenium Celebration, but damned if I know how they’re getting all the cultures and peoples of the world from those lobster things and the stick guys. :slight_smile:

When are you going to realize being normal isn’t necessarily a good thing?

As I said on #SD, “I’ve seen 3rd grade Xmas pagents better than this!”

“I guess one person can make a difference, although most of the time they probably shouldn’t.”

Oh man… this sounds WONDERFUL!!! I wish I could see it… I’d rather drink bleach than watch the game, but seeing a cheesy and awful halftime show I’d have tuned in for. Is there a site somewhere that has it on video?

I missed the halftime show as well. If they wanted people to watch it, they shouldn’t have announced who the performers were going to be in advance. I did see the thick smoky haze, which really didn’t clear up until after the third quarter. When will they learn? Fireworks and indoor stadiums just don’t mix!

Excuse me, but what Christmas is to ye mere Christians, so is the Super Bowl Half-Time Show to football fans. (And I dare say we’ve got ye outnumbered, so don’t be gettin’ uppity.)

Ye can’t expect us to celebrate our holiest High Holiday without observing our sacred rituals, which, similar to the rites of ye worshipers of lesser deities, involve intricate and deeply symbolic processionals; the parading of the twelve holy ‘gigantic graven puppet images’ of yore; the observing of the ancient practice of lighting the ten-thousand spotlights to honor Baghwan Vince Lombardi; and the chanting of heartfelt, traditional, repetitive, and poetically vagues psalms set against a background of aboriginal drum-beats.

Certainly to the uninitiated it all appears to be so much idolatry and barbaric paganism, but ye’ve no damned right to judge the deeply held religious convictions of others from yer high horse of ignorance.

I can’t remember the last time I watched an enjoyable half time Super Bowl show. I was very pleased to find out (after I was bored with this year’s show, after about 2 minutes) that The Simpsons were on! I watched that, and LOVED IT, and I only missed about 5 minutes of the 2nd half. And I don’t mean 5 minutes of game time, I mean, I missed only five real minutes. That’s nothing.
