Prepare for some giggles
You know that meme of Michael Jackson in Thriller, sitting back watching the show with a box of popcorn? That's us right now watching the hilarious commentary surfacing on social media as a result of the Superbowl 50 Half Time Show.
The butt of the show (sorry mate), Chris Martin kicked off Coldplay proceedings before Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson took to the huge LED stage, finishing up with Beyoncé slaying the populace with her surprise new track, Formation.
If you didn't get to catch the show, don't worry — here are a bunch of things we commoners are thinking but the blue-ticked are actually saying.
Even Chris Martin is like, what am I doing here?

The Make-a-Wish Foundation outdid themselves with Chris Martin. He'll never forget that.

Chris Martin kind of looks like the guy who sings with the band at his own wedding.

Bless Chris Martin trying to poke his lil head in there.

“You were the opener the whole time,” whispers Beyonce to Chris Martin as she slips the knife between his ribs.

The halftime show would be better if it was Chris Martin giving a 10 minute TED talk on what a "Coldplay" is.

.@Beyonce drop the album in the middle of the field as a power-up

Best play of the game was Beyoncé saving herself from falling in front of millions of people. pic.twitter.com/6GlVuPN2OS

Well. We had 2 minutes and 51 seconds of Bey amidst like 4 hours of not Beyoncé.

Bruno Mars would be the coolest hobbit in the shire
— Anna Kendrick (@AnnaKendrick47) February 8, 2016
Let's face it, compared to Bruno Mars? Everyone looks like Lawrence Welk

*becomes a bandwagon diehard Bruno Mars fan*
— Skye Townsend (@SkyeTownsend) February 8, 2016
Ok..@BrunoMars might be the coolest f'r on earth! What a performance #SuperBowl50
— Eric Bischoff (@EBischoff) February 8, 2016
Someone should chizzle Bruno Mars head into the side of a massive mountain. That man is truly a legend.

9 months after every Coldplay concert, attendees look at their dogs, confident in their choice to not bring new life into a broken world.
— Justin McElroy (@JustinMcElroy) February 8, 2016
I won't be joining in the @Coldplay hate. Their worst record is (at least) 10x better than my best record. I respect the soft-rock gurus.
— Aaron Marsh (@AaronMarshMusic) February 8, 2016
What Coldplay needed was @kanyewest interrupting to point out how much better Beyonce’s performance was.
— Dom Knight (@domknight) February 8, 2016
As someone who has been booked as a headliner only to have the audience enjoy other performers more, I deeply relate to Coldplay.
— Josh Gondelman (@joshgondelman) February 8, 2016
coldplay sold 87.5 million records . i bet everyone hating on them on twitter really hurt their feelings .
— steve patrick (@thestevepatrick) February 8, 2016
Look: have I heard Coldplay songs and thought "Oh, that's nice"? Yes. Have I thought the same of a well-prepared piece of kale? Also yes.
— Rebecca Watson (@rebeccawatson) February 8, 2016
Stop hating on Coldplay. They have played in hundreds of fine elevators around the world.
