Super Bowl afterglow

-

The scribes at Someecards. com picked their favorite Twitter reactions to the Super Bowl 50 halftime show, which they described as “the natural pairing of Coldplay, Beyonce and Bruno Mars. … One of these acts does not belong, and the Internet noticed.”

Mike Drucker @ MikeDrucke­r: Enough of this slow moving game where nobody seems to be having fun. Let’s listen to Coldplay!

Seth Herzog @ Thezog: I’m starting to miss the #leftshark.

The Sklar Brothers @ SklarBroth­ers: Is Chris Martin’s mic on?

Johnny McNulty @ JohnnyMcNu­lty: Bruno Mars wasn’t actually booked — he just spontaneou­sly appears anytime an event gets too upbeat.

Patton Oswalt @pattonoswa­lt: Good job Coldplay, Bruno, Beyoncé. Now bring on Cheap Trick.

Sam Morril @ sammorril: Coldplay is older and white, Bruno is black and with energy. It’s like Peyton and Cam.

All Hail Jerry @ jerryRenek: Speaking as someone who used to be in marching band, yes, we really are that sexy even in real life.

Taylor Williamson @ TaylorCome­dy: So sad Beyoncé got all the words from “Bootylicio­us” wrong.

Anna Drezen @ annadrezen: Beyonce smiling next to Chris Martin is every woman who’s ever had to momentaril­y dim her shine to work alongside a mediocre man.

Erica @ SCbchbum: Don’t act like y’all didn’t sing along to at least one Coldplay song, … liars.

Chase Mitchell @ ChaseMit: The theme of that performanc­e was “Chris Martin’s friends get him into a club.”

Sarah Silverman @Sar - ahKSilverm­an: Can anyone else in the history of the world release a song and the same day sing it on the … Super Bowl & we all know the words.

Jennifer Bendery @ jbendery: Let’s dispel with this fiction that Beyonce doesn’t know what she’s doing. She knows exactly what she’s doing.

Josh Gondelman @ joshgondel­man: “Oh you’re Shawn’s friend! I didn’t know you were in a band!” — Beyoncé to Chris Martin

Josh Comers @ joshcomers: Was I tricked into watching the opening of the Olympics?

Jill Morris @JillMorris: That was a pretty good halftime show for a nonprofit organizati­on.

Dan Ewen @VaguelyF unnyDan: It’s like Burning Man and Sierra Mist had a baby.

Bryan Donaldson @ TheNardvar­k: Being on stage with Beyoncé and Bruno Mars makes Chris Martin look like he won a contest from Bud Light. #SB50

John Moe @ johnmoe: Coldplay performing their hit song “When Does Beyoncé Get Here?”

*** Newsday.com liked the post from astronaut Scott Kelly, who’s on the Internatio­nal Space Station.

Scott Kelly @StationC DRKelly: Hosted #SuperBowl party on @space_station, but no one showed up. I would have served nachos! #YearInSpac­e

*** And a coupl e of thoughts from late- night comedians going into the game.

We are just three days away from the Super Bowl, and a 76-year-old man who has been to all 49 Super Bowls will be attending Super Bowl 50 this Sunday — but enough about Peyton Manning. — Jimmy Fallon

Denver Broncos quarterbac­k Peyton Manning said yesterday he’s going to need to get his hip replaced. Man, that’s going to be some super halftime show. — Conan O’Brien move mountains to make you happy. Hurt me, and I’ll drop those mountains on your head.

Remember: You don’t actually love a person unless you occasional­ly want to kill him.

Twitter advice from Will Ferrell @itsWilly Ferrell: If someone says “I love you” and you don’t feel the same way, just say, “I love YouTube” really fast.

Don’t break anybody’s heart. They have only one. Break their bones. They have 206.

I’m so happy you love your boyfriend. Do you tell him as often as you tell everyone on Facebook?
