Here’s the Super Bowl halftime show if Maroon 5 had actually played the ‘SpongeBob’ song

TwitterFacebook

Maroon 5 and the NFL made a grievous mistake (one of many!) when they failed to include “Sweet Victory” in the Super Bowl halftime show. 

Fortunately, disappointed SpongeBob fans can soothe their devastation with an approximation of what could’ve been. On Monday, Yeek Studios uploaded a re-dub of the very boring Maroon 5 halftime performance. Instead of “Moves Like Jagger” or “Big Tattoo That Says California” or whatever Maroon 5 songs are, the band simply plays “Sweet Victory” instead.

It is much better — even though, sadly, Adam Levine is still shirtless. Read more…

People think Adam Levine’s Super Bowl tank top looks exactly like their home decor

TwitterFacebook

One of the best things about the Super Bowl LIII halftime show was everyone making fun of Maroon 5, but one particular reason proved closer to home than others.

Frontman Adam Levine donned a patterned tank top for the performance on Sunday, and before he took it off mid-performance (a nipple-baring move that didn’t get him in trouble unlike Janet Jackson), some noticed they’d seen this pattern before.

Twitter user Morgan Jordal‏ posted an image of Levine’s singlet side-by-side with some “70s home decor.” It’s pretty spot on. Read more…

SpongeBob fans are not happy with that goober of a Super Bowl tribute

TwitterFacebook

The rumored halftime tribute to SpongeBob SquarePants actually happened, but now some people are disappointed by how it turned out.

Maroon 5’s painful Super Bowl halftime show performance was mercifully interrupted by Squidward, who conducted a marching band of Bikini Bottom residents. As the band built up into a crescendo, Travis Scott inexplicably flew into the stadium via meteorite. 

Yeah, it makes absolutely no sense.

And after the major online push to play “Sweet Victory” in honor of SpongeBob SquarePants’ late creator Stephen Hillenburg, fans were angry that the tribute barely lasted more than a few seconds. Read more…

The best thing about the halftime show was everyone making fun of Maroon 5

TwitterFacebook

There is no band more consistently, doggedly embarrassing in America than Maroon 5. 

Their halftime performance at Super Bowl LIII was no exception. Viewers were subjected to Adam Levine’s exposed, erect nipples and guitar solos fit for a middle school battle of the bands.

Nobody captured this cultural collapse better than Twitter.

I’m sorry, but you just can’t have Adam Levine hopping to a hip-hop beat like he’s at a ska show — then crooning with an *actually* talented gospel choir  — and not expect people to mock it. It’s part of our cultural algorithm. Read more…

Adam Levine showed his nipples during the Super Bowl halftime show and didn’t get in trouble at all

What is it with nipples at the Super Bowl?

During Sunday’s halftime show, Maroon 5’s Adam Levine decided to take his shirt off for the crowd, because something was necessary to liven up the musical equivalent of a jar of mayonnaise. 

The problem? The Super Bowl halftime show has a storied history — with all the pearl clutching over Janet Jackson’s nipple more than a decade ago. Justin Timberlake, who exposed Janet’s nipple in 2004, returned to the Super Bowl last year and fans were quick to slam him. And now it’s Levine’s turn to feel the heat.

Oh but we can see Adam Levine’s nipples @FCC

SpongeBob showed up at the Super Bowl thanks to Travis Scott

Maroon 5 and Travis Scott really went and did a tribute to SpongeBob during their Super Bowl LII performance. 

Travis Scott opened his performance of “Sicko Mode” with scenes from SpongeBob’s iconic rendition of “Sweet Victory.” 

It’s the crossover you never knew you wanted.

SpongeBob SquarePants fans launched a Change.org petition in November 2018 after the death of Stephen Hillenburg, who created the beloved series, calling for artists to perform “Sweet Victory” in his honor. The song is from a 2001 episode where the sea creatures performed at the “Bubble Bowl,” and the petition got more than 1.2 million signatures.  Read more…
