Bad Bunny announced as the Super Bowl halftime performer. I absolutely cannot wait for the annual Sixpack Super Bowl halftime show thread.

Remember when we complained because all the acts were washed up? I think the pendulum has swung about all the way the other way as it can. A non-English speaking half time act is definitely a choice.

I guess this is the evolution of getting old...

When you're a kid you love the SB performer and know every song
When you're not a kid the performer is ok but they don't hit like the old acts
Once you're fully grown you know a couple of songs but mostly it's a low talent performance from a wannabe
Finally, you're officially old when you've never heard the performer's name.

I think I'm officially old.

It’s a ratings demographic thing. They do it to draw in the younger adult viewers that might not otherwise watch.

I can't believe pop culture doesn't focus on my age group. Oh well, no biggie. Dude's apparently something because a segment on morning news showed massive crowds of young women dancing to his music. Young Americans get Bad Bunny and we get wealth transfers to the older generation. Maybe it will distract them from home prices and socialism.

No need to complain, I'll just use that time like I do any other halftime. Take a leak, refill my stinky cup, flip whatever's on the grill, send a few texts, check 6Pack, then get ready for the 2nd half, assuming it's a team or two I even remotely have any 17s to give about

He's apparently a huge WWE fan and has been in some events if that makes the old white dudes feel better.

He's one of the most popular artists in the world that isn't Taylor Swift or a K-Pop band, so count your blessings, Chad.

Most likely everyone this thread has at least seen him. He was in corona commercials with snoop.

I don’t know anything about Bad Bunny except that he is really popular.
I couldn’t have picked him out of a lineup except that he was in several skits in an episode of SNL that I watched recently.

Me not knowing any of the songs won’t be anything new. I probably wouldn’t have known Kendrick Lamar’s name if it wasn’t for stories about who he was feuding with.

He said he would not play in the US because of ICE..so will it be a remote show?


For you old geezers listen to the journal podcast about him to understand the draw

Ha. SB Half Time show brought to you by Zoom. They're about 5 years too late on this sponsorship gimmick.
