Our favorite, funniest tweets from Super Bowl XLVII

By

super bowl tweetsSocial media and sports go hand in hand – and the Super Bowl is no exception. This year we were treated to more than a few dramatic, hilarity-inducing moments, and some of the best brains behind Twitter took to their keyboards to reflect, share, and shame. Here are some of the best reactions to the game, halftime show, and commercials (and everything else in between). 

To infinity and Beyoncé,

Mrs. Carter took to the stage in all her glory for the halftime show, bringing back Destiny’s Child with her. It was a moment no one who was in middle school some 10 odd years ago will ever forget.

All of the lights (are out)

In case you didn’t hear, the lights went out for awhile during the Super Bowl. Twitter comedians are still praising their respective gods for the wealth of opportunity it gave then. 

 

Puppy Bowled over

Everyone who loves puppies (which is just about everyone) and couldn’t be bothered to watch the actual game tuned into this event, which has many, many fans. And a kitten-fronted halftime show. Watch yo’self, Bey.

The 8th-grade girl in all of us is loving this.

In the fall of 2023 I decided to do a little experiment in the height of the “blue check” hysteria. Twitter had shifted from verifying accounts based (more or less) on merit or importance and instead would let users pay for a blue checkmark. That obviously went (and still goes) badly. Meanwhile, Meta opened its own verification service earlier in the year, called Meta Verified.

Mostly aimed at “creators,” Meta Verified costs $15 a month and helps you “establish your account authenticity and help[s] your community know it’s the real us with a verified badge." It also gives you “proactive account protection” to help fight impersonation by (in part) requiring you to use two-factor authentication. You’ll also get direct account support “from a real person,” and exclusive features like stickers and stars.
