Honestly though, theres nothing more holy than sponsors in sports, so they probably asked them for permission prior to this message beeing displayed. The fact that they were okay with a message that pisses off a good portion of their customers speaks for them.
Still wouldnt buy their pants though.
It was all over Norwegian media that Trump said it was the worst half time show ever.
Therefore I unironically fully assume that it must have been the best fucking halftime show of all time, full stop.
It was great, definitely the best I’ve seen. Not just some generic gyrating dancers on stage… there was a whole story, a real couple got married and had their wedding cake as part of the story, there was dynamic movement and action throughout, all filmed very well. Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin made appearances. Lots of cultural symbolism. Oh, and music on top of all that. Plus I now have a low key crush on Bad Bunny cause he is just delicious.
wasn’t he supposed to be wearing a dress or something?
He never said that, people on the Internet did
He watched it at his own party and not the Kid Rock BS
“You don’t like Bad Bunny because you are racist, I don’t like Bad Bunny because it’s shitty commercial music, we are not the same.”
It’s not for me either. I did hear that he endorsed the left wing(socialist iirc) party in the last Puerto Rico election, and obviously has been very vocally anti-ICE, so I’ll take it.
Honestly I’m starting to like him just because they hate him so much.
You know what? Fuck it, me too
Have you listened to DTmF? Bad bunny is excellent, no opposition required at all.
Honestly I don’t think he’s bad, I’m just not into pop in general. Love Afrocuban and Latin jazz on the other hand.
He has some really great songs. Not everything that’s popular is bad.
I dig the dude and his message, but NONE of that music resonated with me, and I am a hard-core, lifelong musician with a degree in music history. Other than it having a steady beat, it barely registered as music to me at all.
But I also recognize that not everything in America has to be approved by me. There were two targets for this show - Hispanics/Latinx, and MAGAs. I’m neither, so I’m just an observer, and I highly approve of any event where MAGA gets poked in the eye.
Watch his Tiny Desk Concert on NPR, it’s amazing. Arena shows are just arena shows, the music gets a little lost in all the rest of what’s going on.
I’m not Hispanic or MAGA and I enjoyed it. I just enjoy reggaetón and think bad bunny is a great contributor to that genre.
That’s cool. I enjoyed Prince’s and Michael’s halftimes. That’s why they cycle through the genres.
The most recent of those two was in 2007… There have been plenty of good acts that have played the super bowl since then. I think you might just not like most music.
I like MOST music, far more than most people do. Most people have very limited musical tastes, while mine are extremely wide. YOU probably dislike far more musical styles than I do.
And I didn’t say that I didn’t enjoy any other Super Bowl performances other than Prince and Michael, I just said that I enjoyed theirs the most, and since they are universally accepted as the most popular Super Bowl performances of all time, I’m clearly not alone.
I’ve actually enjoyed most of the Super Bowl performances I’ve seen. I even liked watching this one, I just didn’t dig the music, which isn’t aimed at me, and that’s okay.
“YOU probably dislike far more musical styles than I do.”
Idk maybe. I think music is pretty good most of the time.
What are some of your favorite genes?

It’s horrible, just imagine if people would stop to hate each other… How would nazis get all the attention in a world like that?
I want to do a meme of Bugs Bunny happily walking away, while Elmer’s face is blown up and blackened from his shotgun backfiring, and label them Bad Bunny and MAGA, but I don’t know how, so please enjoy this description instead.
Have you tried using an AI service that will take the description you provided and render it as a creepy, completely humourless, fight-or-flight response inducing hallucination at the cost of merely boiling off a small lake?
The only time I tried AI, I attempted make it create a picture that combined Trump, Hitler, and a pig, into my favorite Trump nickname HitlerPig, but it wouldn’t cooperate.
What did it just give you a portrait of Trump, thus completely and accurately matching your query? Insert “They’re the same picture” meme here.
I tried
i like how its two-handing a revolver xD
Just want to say that halftime show was 🔥🔥🔥. I don’t listen to bad bunny normally, but I am now.
I didn’t watch the halftime show. I don’t listen to him and likely will not in the future, but I do enjoy the fact that his existence forced the MAGA boomers I work with to suffer a kid rock performance. Thanks Bad Bunny.
Not sure what kind of music you’re into, but I didn’t think I would like Bad Bunny either. After he won the Grammy, I decided to give it a listen and was shocked at how much of his music I liked.
I just tried a few of his songs on youtube and confirmed it’s definitely not my thing. Other people can like what they like though.
I heard him for the first time yesterday, just to know what I was in for. Dude is incredibly popular on YouTube! First video had a billion views!
And the spectacle of it all! Outside of last year, this was one of the most entertaining halftime shows I can remember.
I listened to him after the Grammys. Found I loved many of his songs.
Prince’s halftime show will always be the greatest ever. But this was close.
Purple Rain…in the rain, yeah
Kendrick last year is a solid #2 though, that was a more savage beating than anyone in shoulder pads took
True. I rewatched Kendrick’s a few times.
That was some of the worst sound I’ve ever heard in a musical number, basically anywhere. You can like the story, you can like the visuals, but objectively he sounded like shit.
You are objectively correct, all the downvoters just feel like anything other than praise is an attack on their identity.
Lol
I didn’t watch the superbowl but I heard it was good. Not because I’m right-wing or anything like that. Also the Seahawks won so yay for them. I didn’t watch it because I’m not a big sports fan and I didn’t have a way to watch.
Same here, but I usually watch the half time on YouTube along with the ads
You can have both.
A trauma bond so poweful that even when you mom abuses you, you still don’t wanna let go because being alone is anxiety inducing.
Emotional ambivalence isn’t only normal, it’s healthy. I love my partner for being my friend and supporter, but have also felt genuine hatred due to them not doing the work necessary to be a good spouse, leading to us separating.
The trauma bond is a bit different, though. It’s unhealthy ambivalence, where even the positive feelings are ultimately rooted in strongly negative behavior. I had one with my father, so I get it.
I remember when I was a kid, I used to cuddle with my mom, but now I think she just secretly despise me because I’m not young and cuddly anymore 😢
We all need to go watch Bad Bunny on Tiny Desk to really appreciate the expert musicianship.
Edit: going to link to my own comment on another post asking about explanation of the halftime show’s references: https://lemmy.world/comment/22044314
I will upvote any tinydesk link. I love tiny desk, such a good way to discover music if you just let it run in the background while you work or whatever.
Its how I discovered Monsieur Perine and Hobo Johnson and the lovemakers.
I tried googling his “Ocasio 64” jersey, and all I came up with was articles about the time AOC streamed a Donkey Kong 64 marathon.
Ocasio is Bad Bunny’s last name. 64 might be the year of his dad’s birth, but that’s a guess.
64th congress granted american citizenship to puerto ricans.
I heard it was in reference to the Puerto Rican governments initial death toll caused by Hurricane Maria (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Maria_death_toll_controversy), which was…a very low number.
a Donkey Kong 64 marathon.
go on…
Aoc didn’t do the DK64 stream, someone else did she just showed up at one point
Well, you see…
DK, Donkey Kong. He’s the leader of the bunch, you know him well. He’s finally back to kick some tail. His coconut gun can fire in spurts. If he shoots ya, it’s gonna hurt! He’s bigger, faster, and stronger, too. He’s the first member of the DK crew.
The message is lost on those who love to hate.
What was that “story” where Chapter 1: Defeating evil with the power of love. Chapter 2: Defeating evil with the power of incredible violence?
I’m already at chapter 2.
I remember a movie where there was a guru like that, who convinced everybody on his (the citizens of the protagonist country/village) to not fight, because “love is the most powerful weapon”. The protagonists were like “fuck that, you’re getting everybody killed”
So when the bad guys army arrived, they were meet with flowers and people just being happy and saying no need to flee or fight. The soldiers were too weird out to attack, so they just stood there, some joined the celebrations.
The lead bad guy got angry and tried to stab the protagonist, but was killed before by a dagger thrown by the pacifist guru. Everybody just looked at then and said “love is the most powerful weapon… But it’s not always the fastest”
I have no idea what this movie was, I remember it loked like shit, but that’s scene has been living rent free on my mind forever
