This year’s Super Bowl didn’t disappoint.
Millions tuned in to catch the exhilarating game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (the latter won), in addition to all of the celeb-heavy commercials.
But nothing could compare to the Halftime Show that was headlined by The Weeknd (Abel Makkonen Tesfaye).
Given his Las Vegas backdrop, infamous red jacket, and bandaged performers, so many hilarious tweets and memes were soon born.
“When my mom tries to Facetime me.”
When The Weeknd took viewers behind the stage, we were given a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the stadium.
We were also blessed with so many memes, such as this one. You can’t deny that you haven’t received a call like this one before.
“Me trying to find the bathroom at the club after 6 or 7.”
Now, this one might be hard to remember, given the fact that clubs are closed worldwide. But we already know that this is how we’ll all look once they reopen.
“When I lose my mom in the grocery store and start panicking.”
We can’t lose her! How else will we swindle her into buying us some sugary Froot Loops? Guess we’ll have to look like this as we check every aisle…
“Me inside the bar after waiting an hour in line to get in…..”
All of these club-related reactions have made one thing clear: people are missing the club.
This tweet goes to show that as soon as they’re open, we’re running not walking. And shoving, not being a gentleman.
“Me looking around for ‘real pants’ when the pandemic’s over after only wearing sweatpants for a year.”
This one hurts our soul. We love our comfy sweatpants! But at least all our online shopping will finally have a real purpose.
“Leaving the camera on selfie mode accidentally.”
That, or an older person’s attempt at making a selfie for their Facebook profile.
And they still post it and have numerous photos with the same close-up pose.
“Trying to take make the $25 admission price worth it when they tell you the museum is closing in 5 minutes.”
We’ll call this an “impressionist” view, as they only catch what they can as they’re running past all of the art.
“My dog looking for me after she hears me crack open the chips.”
Dog owners, who can relate? Max could be all the way on the other side of the house and he can still hear that chip bag.
“What my coworkers see on zoom meetings when I think my camera is off.”
This one’s actually pretty tame, as far as Zoom horror stories go.
Take this guy who didn’t wear pants during his work meeting.
“Me immediately after someone gives me specific directions.”
Is it north, west? (Not to be confused with the Kardashian child).
Either way, we’ve all fallen into the trap of nodding our heads and not really listening.
“My camera roll when I take my iPad back from a toddler.”
Parents can relate.
“I have all these pics of my kid’s chin. I don’t know what she’s doing, but I’ve got all kinds of chin and neck shots,” wrote this user .
“10-year-old me acting like I’m in a music video while listening to my iPod nano.”
It’s like we’ve all lived the same life.
There was nothing more exciting than daydreaming about being a big star. Maybe that’s how The Weeknd manifested his Super Bowl performance as a kid?
“what my pizza rolls see from inside the microwave.”
Those poor pizza rolls… They must feel violated in some way as we maintain direct eye contact and lick our lips more and more in anticipation of that microwave beep.
“When I hear my cat somewhere in the house start to gag and I try to get to it before it barfs on something nice.”
For some reason, this always happens at, like, four a.m. And for some reason, they almost always choose to barf on the carpet.
“The weekend’s dancers look like tethered Jason from us.”
A lot of fans saw similarities between the outfits and bandages of The Weeknd’s performers.
They were just a step away from all holding hands like in the movie.
“This is what my Snapchat on a night out looks like.”
We’ve all been there.
We’ve had a few too many drinks and decide it’s a great idea to post everything about the night. Cue the hungover shame the next day as we cringe through them.
“what my friends see in their ring doorbell when I show up to their house.”
They should just be lucky that we’re not just barging in! After all, what’s theirs is ours. Isn’t that how friendship goes?
“Cdc: dancers must wear face masks. the weeknd: say no more.”
The Weeknd really went all-out to comply with the rules. Those dancers had full protection from COVID-19.
But, of course, the bandages were used to fit the theme from his music videos.
“How I feel every time I can’t find the exit in a Vegas casino:”
You can thank The Weeknd for how stellar his set was. The Weeknd told Billboard that he spent seven million of his own money to make his performance extra special.
“Me trying to follow the hostess to my table at the Cheesecake Factory.”
The official Twitter account for the Cheesecake Factory even got in the action by replying to the tweet.
“It’s not about the journey but the destination, right?” they tweeted , along with a picture of cheesecake.
