Twitter Hilariously Lambasts Maroon 5's Super Bowl LIII Halftime Show

The first half of Super Bowl LIII was a bit of a snoozefest, but fortunately the halftime show was — well, it actually was worse.

After the New England Patriots took a 3-0 lead into the break against the Los Angeles Rams, fans welcomed Maroon 5 out to the field at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

The selection of Maroon 5 as the headliner was a highly-criticized one, and it’s easy to see why. It was, in a word, bad. Although cameos by Travis Scott and Big Boi weren’t better, Adam Levine and Co. being jammed down everyone’s throats wasn’t exactly a treat.

So as is the case with any polarizing topic, folks hopped on Twitter and started shredding it.

Thank God there’s no halftime in The World Series…

That was the New York Jets of halftime shows. ?

A commercial with Roger Goodell was better than the first half and significantly better than the halftime show. Life is full of surprises.

Maroon 5 is treating our eyes and ears the way the Patriots defense is treating Jared Goff.

Think about how good Atlanta’s music scene is and how bad and bland this is

— Pete Blackburn (@PeteBlackburn) February 4, 2019

As mentioned in the tweet above, Atlanta has such a vibrant music scene, which is what makes the brutal halftime show such a travesty. Hopefully the NFL will learn from that going forward, but we’re not counting on it.
