Check Our Feed: Comedians React to Super Bowl 52
We have the best Twitter feed because we get to keep an eye on what thousands of comedians are saying during any major event. Sunday night, we kept a close on our list of 700 comedians everyone should know during the big game and got to see what was on everyone’s mind. Quick rundown, almost everyone rooting for the Eagles (or at least against the Pats), there’s a big debate about whether Pink spit out gum or a cough drop, everyone considered Justin Timberlake’s wardrobe to be a malfunction, the commercials were almost universally hated- particularly the use of Martin Luther King’s words to sell Dodge trucks, and our feed was split about how they felt about the tribute to Prince during the halftimes show. And some of the comics we follow even talked about the game.
Check out our picks for our favorite tweets of the night and follow some of these funny fuckers.
The National Anthem and PreGame
Please let me be the only person who tweets about Pink spitting her gum out. #SuperBowl

Was Belichick‘s hand over his stomach? #SuperBowl

"Yes, let's do an air force fly-over over a domed stadium!" (Someone got fired) #SuperBowl2018
— Seth Herzog (@Thezog) February 4, 2018
Flyover over an indoor stadium is like giving a dolphin a bath. #SuperBowl
— The Sklar Brothers (@SklarBrothers) February 4, 2018
I'm hearing that it was a lozenge. I hope we find out the truth soon. #SuperBowl

Pink throwing out her gum was literally the most Philly thing ever. #Pink #FlyEaglesFly #Eagles

Warning from someone who learned the hard way: if you imply that Pink spit out her gum when it might have actually been a cough drop, people will let you know. #SuperBowl

Gametime: 1st Half
What if Gronk’s concussion turned him into a genius? An effete, NPR listening genius. #SuperBowl52

It's statically impossible for the Patriots to come back at this point. #SuperBowl

Made a spelling error in previous tweet. Afraid it's gone too viral for me to delete and retweet! #SuperBowl

Is there anything Peter Dinklage can't dinky do? Damn. #SuperBowlLII
— Michelle Buteau (@MichelleButeau) February 5, 2018
Recasting Dinklage and Freeman as rapping Heat and Cold Mizers is inspired. No interest in the products they are selling, though. #SuperBowlAds

Wait for @RheaButcher to say “spread Eagle.” It’s good. pic.twitter.com/DbhGYJHdYA

The unintentional blow job stops the Pats’ drive dead in its tracks. #SuperBowl
— The Sklar Brothers (@SklarBrothers) February 5, 2018
How are we watching commentators when we could be watching replays of a man try to jump straight over another man and that man block his nuts with his head?

Dodge Ram Has a Dream
Wait a min… all this time Dr. King was trying to get us to buy a truck? #SuperBowl pic.twitter.com/tZIz8tc2nc

“I’m more upset with Dr King’s family for allowing that Dodge commercial than I am at Prince’s for allowing the hologram.” – @thegissilent

MLK: I have a dream. That someday my words will be in a Dodge Ram commercial. #SuperBowl52

You can't spell Dodge Ram with out D R E A M.

Eagles Score With Double Pass
That play call by the Eagles was the most Bill Belichick call I have ever seen and it wasn't called by Bill Belichick… #SuperBowl

For the record, that is not me in the @Pringles #SuperBowl commercial by @GreyNewYork
— Judah Friedlander (@JudahWorldChamp) February 5, 2018
Was that Scientology ad a Tide ad?
— h. jon benjamin (@HJBenjamin) February 5, 2018
Seriously! WTF! was with the @nygiants commercial.
— Jimmy Shubert (@JimmyShubert) February 5, 2018
Wow from prostituting MLK to Scientology ads, the Superbowl is like a flea market of terrible ideas.

Halftime Show, J.T.’s Outfit and Prince
When Justin Timberlake told the audience to take out their cell phones, he should've added, "but please don't do this at comedy clubs." #SuperBowl
— Todd Barry (@toddbarry) February 5, 2018
Justin's outfit–modern chimney sweep. #SuperBowl #Halftimeshow
— Kathleen Madigan (@kathleenmadigan) February 5, 2018
Bigger mistake?
— Doug Benson, co-host of Dining w/D and K (@DougBenson) February 5, 2018
I’m offended by how inoffensive this is. #HalftimeShow
— Mike Lawrence (@TheMikeLawrence) February 5, 2018
THIS IS THE WORST EPISODE OF @ProjectRunway #SuperBowl52
— Iliza Shlesinger (@iliza) February 5, 2018
I do like the fact that Justin wore a shirt from Bass Pro Shop. #SuperBowlLII

The Crips aren't gonna like that bandana. #SuperBowlLII
— mark normand (@marknorm) February 5, 2018
Okay punkass justin Timberlake. You was cool till you pulled that Prince bullshit. You dissed Prince on a track of yours and you dissed him onstage when you lowered the mic stand onstage when prince won an award. Later for ya ass
— Sinbad (@sinbadbad) February 5, 2018
I don’t think the guy who wrote “slave” on his chest and changed his name to a symbol would be okay with posthumously co-signing a member of the Mickey Mouse Club #HalftimeShow

And Black twitter flips its shit in 3…2…1 #superbowl

Why is Justin Timberlake Dressed like he's robbing a stage coach?
— Rocky LaPorte (@RockyLaPorte) February 5, 2018
NFL: “We want to appeal to everyone”
JT: “Got it. I’ll dress like a hunter who is also a member of the Bloods”
— Joe List (@JoeListComedy) February 5, 2018
Timberlake looks like a John Deere threw up in an urban outfitters
— Ramon Rivas II (@BlazerRamon) February 5, 2018
Justin Timberlake has the stage presence of the kid who knows he’s throwing a better bar mitzvah than yours #HalftimeShow
— Mike Lawrence (@TheMikeLawrence) February 5, 2018
A funny thing would be if the puppies from the Puppy Bowl ran out on the Super Bowl field. The referee calls “unnecessary RUFFness!” Belichik is beside himself. Haha. #SuperBowl

Is there anyway to mute Collinsworth? #SuperBowlLII

This game is so good I wouldn’t be surprised if Tom Brady gets killed by a crockpot

The #SuperBowl trophy is just a football? As people say too much, that's a bit *on the nose*!!!!!
