Spongebob sucks and no one should be surprised they didn’t play a whole song from a children’s cartoon in the super bowl halftime show.

Maybe it has to do with the nerdy and young population of reddit, but it seems like there was an unjustifiably loud outcry that they didn’t play a whole spongebob song, when there wasn’t even a complete song in the entire show. You know, by the actual performers. Additionally, few people over thirty like or have any positive memories or nostalgia about a kids show, and the majority of people DO NOT WANT to see it. What is “sweet victory”? They aren’t going to play something unfamiliar to most people. I personally think the halftime show sucked, but I can’t stand spongebob and more spongebob would only have made it worse. I’m not sure why anyone thought the Super Bowl would be dedicated to a shitty kids cartoon. In what world was that even a possibility?

Football is a kids game played by adult men for the entertainment of angry men screaming at their TV. It would make perfect sense to play a song from a kids show

Shut up about football, the Superbowl, the halftime show, SpongeBob, Maroon 5, and Tom Brady.

SpongeBob is one of the highest rated shows of all time. Its generated 5% of Viacom's total revenue, that means one show pulls in more money than entire channels they own. Plus he's a recognizable icon on the level of Mickey Mouse. People just wanted them to play the song as tribute to the creator.
