Economy The Snowflakes Are Planning Their Own Super Bowl Halftime Show

Thought I'd run it by my AI overlord real quick

Yeah — Metallica + Taylor Swift would’ve been a marketing nuke. Swift brings the global pop audience and social media frenzy, Metallica brings rock credibility and multi-generation reach, and together they’d hit every demographic from teens to dads in one shot. Cross-genre appeal, record-breaking viewership, massive streaming spikes, and cultural moment status — basically the safest, biggest, most viral halftime combo possible.

But no, we get someone my 5 and 11 year old nephews never heard of, by buddies daughters 6-14 never heard of, someone my uncles (and cousins) that watch the NFL LITERALLY all week all season never heard of.... and my grandparents.... ya getting the point? If the point is spectacle and showmanship -- "the best half time EVER" then they should be fired for incompetency.

Marketing, outside of just "oooh controvoersy" or "OMG LOOK HOW BUTTHURT THEY ARE" responses, when the NFL could have likely (within logical reason) given the world an abosloute fucking SHOWSTOPPER half time (Metalliswift , Swiftallica)... decides to go with some PR dude and call it "winning" because "people are butthurt"?

Swiftallica!

You telling me this was the best possible choice, or biggest N best show when when you could market "Swiftallica" for MONTHS to promo it? THIS IDEA IS BILLIONS IN VIEWS, AD PLACEMENT, MARKETING....

*someone insert the ARE YOU tarted GIF HERE*

Are you fucking insane? No one's really "mad" or "butthurt" at why this person got the halftime -- it's more like... well, that's fucking stupid.... and are laughing at the decision. Months of speculation as to what they will play, will they jam together, what songs.... the HYPE ALONE.... BILLIONS OF VIEWS, BILLIONS IN MARKETING....

... but nah -- just get the PR dude that no one in the US even knows or cares about lol -- then politicize it, and call that "winning".... WOOO!

Growing up on the East Coast, we'd make occasional trips to Puerto Rico.
Some fine ass bitches down there.

I usually tune out the half time shows ( last one I actually watched to actually listen was the 2001 Superbowl with Aerosmith) but I think I’m going to watch just to help get the ratings up on this one and I think Bad Bunny sucks but with all the b.s Trump has done I’ll support this guy just for one night , hopefully they can zoom in on some MAGAs there and get some reactions . Lol
 
Won't be any worse than the past eight shit halftime shows

Won't be better either, so I'll still be skipping

Ignorance? Everyone I know can name Metallica -- so far, between my nephews, friends daughters, aunts, uncles, grandparents -- fuckin all relatives or people I've asked -- ALSO the ones who watch the games at the family get together -- have no fuckin idea who or why this Bunny dude is or cares. Think I'd take a band that's sold more tickets than t-swift and the rolling stones to play something like this before some PR dude singing a diff language.... but hey, wtf I know?

...but boy, who wouldn't wanna bring this back from the "90s" when they were supposed to perform "king nothing" lol;

They were "slated" to play "king nothing"

and did that, live....

So when someone asked "would I like to see that 90s stuff again" or whatever, the answer is fuck yes. People are so good at pickin' out small stupid details and not reading or bothering to read the rest of the context, if that was your point.... So cool I guess. If ya point was to suggest they ain't relevant or don't have songs that would work for the superbowl, yer an absolute ass clown.

No one has come back at me and suggested "Swiftallica" wouldn't be an epic event, cause I still have no idea who this Bunny person is, nor do I care, no do I watch football -- I think purely from the NFL wanting to make money (cause that's what they REALLY care about) they would do with that option ;)

Well neither of those songs are 90’s songs , good on them though for playing better songs than what they originally wrote, I’d probably do the same.

But that’s just me I don’t really like Metallica I know it’s blasphemy to most people , but I just never really got into Hetfields pro wrestler style singing voice.

Also the bus shoulda landed on Lars

Yer opinion man, but marketing wise -- argue t-swift + metallica as the half time show vs this puerto rico dude...

3rd most live tickets ever sold by any band or group in all of music history, and T-swift with the 8th most vs ... this guy... ok sure ... ;)

No one I know is 'mad' about the choice, so that isn't the point. The real POINT is that everyone is like... who? Or why? Then LoL at what it COULD be -- 2026 and thats the best they could do? ok...

Wonder what the reason is

Well I assume they’d both be taking a pay cut to do it and both probably neither need or care for the prestige of the half time show.

And though I don’t listen to bad bunny , i feel he is pretty popular and reaches a younger audience something the NFL has to worry about. None of this matters though the halftime show has mostly been for women .

I haven't seen many people triggered here. How many channels have done their own halftime shows in the past? I don't think anyone is forced to watch any of them, bud. That said, I couldn't care less about the Superbowl or the NFL in general and I won't be watching any halftime shows.

How many of those shows started as a response to be personally offended by the main act?

They are just missing the point of getting a chance once a year to do something epic -- but jayz/apple/nfl/whatever wanna bump some hot trend i guess when their american sport and american fans literally had no idea who the fuck he was or cared until it was made political. I think swift said she wouldnt do nfl crap cause of her relationship (bet she cant write a song when they split lol) but anyways, this PR dude ain't something epic ....

So no ones really butthurt or snowflake or whatever -- it really is more like "who da fook is that guy" -- response with people 'suddenly' knowing everything about this bunny dude and defending it like its the most genius shit ever.

Personally, some dudes runnin at each other full speed a few seconds at a time isn't exactly appealing, so if they wanna pick more shit entertainment for their "halftime show" -- then whatevers. Maybe some commercials will be "edgy" -- OOOooh Imagine that!!! Brilliant fuckin marketing..... Gotta watch all 5 hours or whatever for a game that takes an hour of play time. Nope, jsut hope someone trips and falls on cam so it can go viral for 12 seconds -- the average american attention span it seems.
