Along with the rest of the internet and viewers of the Super Bowl on February 3rd, you were just as disappointed as me when you saw Squidward throw up his baton, cueing the band to get into place and you heard the trumpet sound off just for Spongebob to go Sicko Mode on us.
Super Bowl 52 was the New England Patriots (are we really shocked?) and the Los Angeles Rams, whose uniforms, by the way, were BRIGHT and STUNNING. I think by now, people are just expecting the Patriots to go and win the Super Bowl because they're in it almost every year. Hell, Tom Brady has enough rings for one hand and he's starting another, winning his sixth one Sunday night. What social media seemed to care about more was the Pepsi Half-Time Show featuring Maroon 5, Travis Scott, Big Boi, and a special appearance from Spongebob and his band live from the Bubble Bowl.
I definitely didn't feel like Adam Levine had the moves like Jagger that he was trying to display and vocalize, and there were girls like me who weren't really thrilled with Travis Scott singing probably one of the only songs he's actually popular for (besides also being known as Kylie's baby daddy), and it took me a second to realize who Big Boi was and I was confused as to why he was singing an OutKast song. I was waiting for Andre 3000 to jump on stage and tell Miss Jackson that he was sorry.
With Miss Jackson brings the talk of the night when Adam Levine decided to parade around the stage with a shirt off and it drove the internet nuts. People were either drooling at the site of seeing his nipples, but the majority of the internet, or, shall I say, the ones who weren't really fond of Adam Levine's nipples being on live television, were upset with the fact that Adam Levine wasn't ridiculed for being shirtless on stage during a halftime performance. But when Janet Jackson performed back in 2004 with Justin Timberlake, there was a wardrobe malfunction that happened that basically made her blacklisted from ever performing a halftime show again, but it wasn't something she couldn't control. I won't go into much more explanation about that, because that in itself is a headache to read through.
Twitter user @jackMspellman said it right when he stated, "It should be a felony offense for how they just teased us with the Spongebob Bubble Bowl."

The news was announced earlier in the week that Spongebob and the rest of the band were going to finally have their shining appearance at the Super Bowl during the halftime show. But, what did we get? Spongebob going SICKO MODE on us, and CBS playing us all. In all honesty, I was waiting to finally see if Mayonaise was an instrument, but, I guess we'll never know. I would've rather watched Spongebob perform from the Bubble Bowl than to watch Maroon 5 perform with Travis Scott and Big Boi, which is a mashup I NEVER thought I would see in my lifetime.
Pepsi, I think it's time you bring back Beyonce or bring in the Jonas Brothers for a reunion performance. Something that won't make the crowd wanna go get popcorn during the half-time performance. That is what you spend the most money on for that game, right? That's what the Super Bowl is about at this point with Tom Brady playing every damn year. I vote Coca-Cola takes over, they have better tasting soda anyways.
