Who are they gonna parade out, Kid Rock and Vanilla Ice?

Edit:

Fewer than two weeks away, the right-wing alternative still hasn’t announced a single performer.

lol

looking forward to seeing the premiere of the Kristi Noem/Stephen Miller Band!!!

Treczoks@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 209d

It would be interesting to see if they will get someone at all.

Kid Rock, Niki Minaj, and the squishy fat face who is afraid of cities.

the squishy fat face who is afraid of cities.

You may have to be more specific on this one, lol

This guy looks like he trolls the depths of grindr.

TwodogsFighting@lemdro.id · 7 pts · 209d

Stephen Miller and that ice twat decked out in their nazi leather collection slinging a synchronised all male dance routine or some mad shit.

Is there anywhere I can put a bet on it being the most repressed nazi nonsense I've ever seen?

Wow can't wait to hear about how bad it was slash how many contractors get stiffed

spongebue@lemmy.world · 53 pts · 209d (5 replies)

Did you... Did you just type the word "slash"?

lividweasel@lemmy.world · 19 pts · 209d

Yep comma they sure did period facepalm emoji

lennee@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 209d

i was about to ask why slash was playing the nazi superbowl halftime

andrewta@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 209d

His / button is broke.

Or was using voice to text. Sometimes voice to text gets weird

CobblerScholar@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 209d

Hundred percent

MonkeMischief@lemmy.today · 4 pts · 209d

Did you just type the word "slash"?

Perhaps hoping Guns N' Roses shows up.

It's just reruns of Erika Kirks mourning ceremony

gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works · 18 pts · 209d (6 replies)

Is it going to have a guest appearance by Vance, who will then openly grab her ass and make out on stage in front of Vance’s wife, too? Because that would be both hilariously gross and peak comedy.

nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca · 9 pts · 208d (1 reply)

There's already a leaked phone call (apparently Candace Owens leaked it lol) of Erika here bragging about how much money she's making touring on Kirk's death . 11 days after he was killed.

Lmfao holy shit. Do you have a direct link to the post?

Also: frankly I don’t have any sympathy whatsoever for Usha. She, a non-white person, chose to marry and then stay with a psychopathic white supremacist. She chose to support him in becoming part of a regime whose goals were nakedly apparent. The fact that she quietly put up with all of that is effectively a tacit endorsement of the whole shebang. She knew what she was doing. And the white supremacists aren’t gonna give her a pass because she’s (currently) married to Vance. This falls squarely in leopards eating faces territory.

W98BSoD@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 207d

I do not. Sorry!

IronBird@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 209d

that'd be too charismatic a move for vance

IronpigsWizard@lemmy.world · 19 pts · 209d (1 reply)

That Turning Point USA halftime show is going be be hilarious.

I'm just picturing random big name country star, a drunk Billy Ray Cyrus, a light up christian cross, with sparkler fireworks coming off it, being lowered down from the ceiling as the lights dim, then out walks Kid Rock and Vanilla Ice to do a country rap rendition of the TMNT - Ninja Rap proving once and for all we are in hell.

sachabe@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 208d

Also they have Nicki Minaj now 🤷

yesman@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 210d (1 reply)

We should have counter-programming for Trump's State of the Union. Can you imagine the fury from POTUS if his prime-time speech on all the networks got stepped on by Beyonce' on TBS?

lennee@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 209d

ah just collectively watch an episode of spongebob

UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 210d

Puppy Bowl but it's all feral German Shepherds? No, that might actually be entertaining.

It's probably just "We Are Charlie Kirk" on a loop for fifteen minutes

mysticpickle@lemmy.ca · 12 pts · 209d

Who are they gonna trot out to headline? Ted Nugent? Kid Rock? Do they even have anyone that isn't washed up or brain damaged?

boaratio@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 208d (3 replies)

I'm partial to the puppy bowl halftime show.

Dhar@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 208d (1 reply)

...until Noem shows up.

boaratio@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 208d

Good one ;⁠-⁠)

Notyou@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 208d

I'm partial to the puppy bowl over the super bowl in general.

itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml · 7 pts · 209d

Let me guess, Lee Greenwood will be there?

Zahille7@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 210d (1 reply)

What, is it just gonna cut to some other performance in an entirely different venue?

pwnicholson@lemmy.world · 23 pts · 210d

Yeah. It's been a fairly common thing for decades. Counter programming during the halftime, encouraging people to flip channels. Puppy bowl on the animal channel is probably the most famous (and innocuous)

Danarchy@lemmy.nz · 5 pts · 209d

These people are so thin-skinned

ieatpwns@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 209d

Watch it be just dudes in military cosplay being all buff and sweaty and firm Meanwhile bad bunny will have baddies dropping it like it’s hot

I thought this was r/nottheonion

Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 209d

Good luck with that vance. We all know who is controlling the couch there.

CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 208d

Ugh. "We are all Charlie Kirk"? Um, no....no, we aren't.

grimpy@lemmy.myserv.one · 2 pts · 209d

sure hope we get to see Coldplay again

UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 209d

Sure hope there isnt a false flag attack on the super bowl.

Do ya think the superbowl is to far from the midterms?

kate@lemmy.uhhoh.com · 1 pts · 209d

does it fuck other half-time shows? what

andrewta@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 209d (5 replies)

Honestly, the halftime show has been boring for many years. I’ll probably just record the game and then start watching a little bit late so I can fast forward through the halftime show.

XeroxCool@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 209d (4 replies)

When was the last time you enjoyed it? What changed?

andrewta@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 209d (3 replies)

Loved 2000 with Phil Collins and Christina Aguilera

2001 with Aerosmith and Britney Spears was good

2004 with Janet Jackson was good up to a certain point

2007 with Prince was awesome

2013 with Beyoncé was good if I remember right

2017 with lady Gaga was interesting although weird at times(for the record, I really do like Lady Gaga’s singing. I’m a huge fan of hers. But the halftime show left a little bit to be desired.)

I’d say 2013 was the last I can say was really good. Not that Gaga was bad though

After that, the music many times is stuff I don’t enjoy or really listen to. And the style just changed not sure how to explain it

XeroxCool@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 208d (2 replies)

Quite frankly, that just sounds like the music finally got too new. You're not in tune with the latest music, nor the celebrity personalities tied to the acts. The performance style is trending with the latest popular demand.

There is a difference in "the show is boring" and "the show is boring to me now"

andrewta@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 208d (1 reply)

You are probably correct on that. Although the majority of the people I talk to have gotten bored with halftime show

XeroxCool@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 208d

Same demographics, primarily age?
