The halftime show during the Super Bowl is the only enjoyable part of the whole shebang for all the people who are forcing themselves to sit through the game so that they’re not left out of the office water cooler talk the next morning. Last year Katy Perry SLAYED, so logically you’d think “Hey, if last year was awesome then THIS year should be even BETTER!”
Ha…no.
Maybe it was because the game took place on the west coast this year and the stage didn’t have a nighttime backdrop to make all the fireworks and visual effects look bold, or maybe it was because Coldplay sucks and Bruno Mars/Beyonce have performed at the Super Bowl a cumulative 1.5 trillion times, but something about this year was just lame. If we’re to listen to Twitter, it’s because Coldplay sucks (which is true) and…well, it seems like that’s the main consensus: Chris Martin did not belong on stage with Beyonce and Bruno Mars.
Even Chris Martin is like, what am I doing here?

That’s not to say that Beyonce and Bruno escaped unscathed from the completely “bleh” performance that we got…just that Chris Martin reeeaaallyyyy got his asshole torn to shreds:

Chris Martin is totally the type of guy to tell people to "believe in love"

The folks in the stands are not as excited about Coldplay as those down on the field, no. pic.twitter.com/M2pR9is9yt

Wow, Coldplay is playing in 75 degree weather, they should be called Warmplay, man. That blows my mind.

Coldplay closing the show is like having the most passionate night of my life followed by realizing the dude I was with reads Ayn Rand.

Teasing Crazy in Love and not singing any of it should be a felony. Arrest Beyonce.

Let's be honest, Bruno Mars & Beyonce took over that halftime show. Poor Coldplay came off looking like their back-up band. 😕#SB50 🏈

I loved the Coldplay halftime show, except for the part with Coldplay. #SB50
