Last night's Super Bowl XLIXĀ was one of the most exciting football games in recent memory. It featured all the competitiveness, drama, and action one would expect from the two finest teams in the NFL. But even through the last-second game-changing interceptions, dumbfounding play calls, and the parade of depressing commercials that made up this year's American sports spectacular, the true MVP of the night wasn't Tom Brady (or any member of the New England Patriots for that matter).Ā
It was Katy Perry's shark background dancers.
We would be remiss if we didn't pay tribute to these phenomenal performers and their complete dominance of all social media. It ain't easy to upstage Tom Brady, Russell Wilson, Marshawn Lynch, Katy Perry, Missy Elliott, and one of the closest title games in NFL history, but somehow these two plush aquatic carnivoresĀ did it.
So with that, we present a look back atĀ The Biggest Moments of Super Bowl XLIX...As Interpreted By Katy Perry's Shark Dancers.
Beast Mode Starts With Skittles
"Okay Marshawn, we get it. Gotta stay on-brand...."
Tom Brady a Little Off-Target
"Yikes. What was that? At least it's only the first quarter, right?"
Beast Mode Ties It Up
"That's our dog; keeping it 100 on and off the field. Time to hit 'em with the B-boy stance."
Gronk Gets His
"Time for a vicious Gronk spikeāwait, why'd you cut the feed, NBC???"
Chris Matthews Plays Hardball
"Where the hell did this guy come from? Selling sneakers at Foot Locker a few months ago?? He's fantastic!"
Missy Elliott Steals the Show
"We didn't even get a chance to meet Missy, though...."
The More You Know
"Yo the internet isn't ready for this white-hot 'The More You Know' fire meme I'm about to dropāwait. Everybody already made that joke?"
Is Julian Edelman Dead?
"Son, is he dead?"
Depressing Commercials
"Yeesh. We EAT our young and that still bummed me out."
Richard Sherman Bragging Early
"Umm, are you sure you wanna brag with so much time left on the clock, Rich?"
The Pats Take Back the Lead
"This game is amazing."
Amazing Catch
"It's over. After THAT catch there's no way the Patriots can win this game."
INTERCEPTION!
"A pass?? On 2nd and 1 from the 1??? What the hell kinda play call was that!??"
Tom is Giddy
[whispers] "Real talk that was still the worst play call ever. Ever in history ever."
Poor Sherm
"Poor Sherm. So close to a dynasty."
