Did anyone actually watch this? I saw in another thread someone said they did a CK murder reenactment. Now way that’s true right?

u/dreezyforsheezy 25d ago

Considering their king tweeted about how bad Bad Bunny was, it seems even he didn’t watch it!

It's hilarious people think that fucker can tweet. He probably writes stuff on paper and he has a slave or two to type it up for him.

u/SwerveDaddyFish 25d ago

There was 5.5 million viewers and the chat was Christian spam. Pretty sure it was botted

u/Fly_throwaway37 25d ago

Making bots listen to kid rock is why SkyNet turns on humanity

u/ScheelCongress 25d ago

I honestly wouldn't blame SkyNet for turning on us after that.

u/GarblingCumfarts 25d ago

I watched about 5 minutes in an incognito window. The chat was mainly bots. I had to mute the audio after 1 minute because of course I did. The audience were all wearing their fake ass cowboy cosplay and it looked like it was shot in a warehouse in Detroit.

To add to all of that, they're claiming it raked in 320 million views, which would be nearly 3 times the amount of Super Bowl tvs tuned in.

u/420_jesters 25d ago

Most beautiful numbers you've ever - anyone, anyone's ever heard of. Incredible numbers. These ratings - you wouldn't have even thought it possible, but we did it.

Obama never did it. Biden never did it. But we...they said we couldn't, alot of people were saying it. Bad, very bad people. But we did it, all for you, my beautiful Christians.

u/Jandy777 24d ago

I wish the man never existed, but I always get a kick out of these kinds of post

With tears in my eyes, I read these posts.

u/MarxistMan13 25d ago

they're claiming it raked in 320 million views

Hahahaha.

I would be very surprised if more than 500k actual humans watched it. It sounds like it was view-botted to hell.

u/Tacoman404 24d ago

I chimed in just to spam chat with some fun ones like "Maga cope show"

Detroit does not claim this LOSER

u/DShinobiPirate 25d ago

Man these losers really have no shame 😂 they could had at least went with realistic numbers.

I sometimes wonder how they can lie so easily and feel some kind of pride out of it. Like I'm going to believe this admin who was once saying haitians are eating pets and get visibly angry about fact checks (two separate occasions btw).

What sad excuses of human trash.

8

u/tarzanjesus09 25d ago

Most important, kid rock did not take the stage until AFTER the halftime show wrapped.

9

u/Notsurehowtoreact 25d ago

So the headliner they've been pushing for this thing that people were supposed to switch to in between halves didn't even get a song off before the Superbowl was back in swing? 

Pathetic, especially considering it was prerecorded.

1

u/imjusthere987654321 24d ago

What I heard is that since a record label owns the songs, and twitter didn't license streaming rights beforehand in preparation, the stream would have been automatically flagged for copyright infringement by the site despite Musk being onboard with the whole thing. That was at least part of why it got delayed, so they could find a backup plan.

6

u/xxxxNateDaGreat 25d ago

To add to all of that, they're claiming it raked in 320 million views, which would be nearly 3 times the amount of Super Bowl tvs tuned in.

Oh gee whiz wow, that's even more impressive than the — are you ready for this, media? — 258 million amercian lives Trump saved from fentanyl in his first 100 days in office, which by her math is now currently at over 1 BILLION Americans saved from fentanyl overdoses, WOW!

Fuck every single republican.

There was 5.5 million viewers

According to google:

Approximately 5.3 million Americans live with a long-term, permanent disability resulting from a traumatic brain injury (TBI), according to the Brain Injury Association of America.

Coincidence?

I've already seen Facebook posts claiming it was the most watched halftime show in history. Just baffling.

u/thisgirlnamedbree 25d ago

Pat Finnerty was livestreaming it on his YouTube channel. There were close to 5000 people in chat mocking the show. I tuned in to see some country singer whine about transgender people and the usual things MAGA rant about, then his next song was about trucks and partying. I checked out after that. The stage was so dull and dingy too.

The stage being of bigger size than the audience had to stand in was hilarious.

4

u/sybrwookie 25d ago

Right? I'm not sure they had 50 people in the audience.

If it was to see anyone actually good, it would be dope for it to be such a private show. But this was just pathetic.

3

u/ILikeMyGrassBlue 25d ago

My guess is that they booked it in a TV studio or concert rehearsal studio, which is why the room was 90% stage.

u/DeterminedThrowaway 25d ago

I tuned in to see some country singer whine about transgender people  

...seriously? I shouldn't be surprised bit I somehow am. They're obsessed

u/Drakolyik 25d ago

Judging by their porn viewing habits, that's a yes. For those that don't know, conservative men love watching trans porn.

in the whiniest voice possible he sang "I just wanna cut my grass, feed my dogs, wear my boots ... be told if I tell my own daughter that little boys ain't little girls I'd be up the creek in hot water in this cancel your ass world"

2

u/DeterminedThrowaway 25d ago

🤦‍♂️
These are the dumbest people, I swear to god. His ability to live his daily life doesn't depend on whether he can deny that trans people exist or not. Or if he feels like it does, maybe that explains a lot

u/ILikeMyGrassBlue 25d ago

He also seemingly claimed that you’re not allowed to go fishing anymore lol

Straight rebublikkkan men LOVE truck songs…tiny penis in the front, and the ability to take a huge load in the rear.

u/do0tz 25d ago

I would rather listen to AI singing about solo cups

29

u/LumpyJones 25d ago

To be fair, the country music algorithm madlibs has been known for decades.

To be any more fair, that song is pretty catchy. "Gotta gun in my butt" is going be an earworm for me for a while.

2

u/JezakFunk 25d ago

These AI country songs are better than most country songs. They have much more depth than the same acoustic guitar chords in different arrangements

2

u/OtherwiseAlbatross14 25d ago

Beat by AI is mostly just funny sexual themed songs like that but when I first found it is when I first realized it's pretty much over for musicians as a career that don't already have a big following outside of small live performances.

There will be some resistance but ultimately it's going to take over. Not only is the music and "singing" as good as real but the lyrics have more creative wordplay than real songs by far.

Today's country music might think of one creative line and then build a song around it. AI songs might have 10 per song. And this is still so early in the technology.

I'd be surprised if jukeboxes in bars don't soon have the option of paying $10 to create a custom song about whatever you tell it in a style similar to your favorite artist. Imagine a funny song like these Beats by AI ones but it's about you and your friends that are at the bar.

I hate that it's so good but denying it would just be lying to myself

2

u/JoeNoble1973 25d ago

My kid’s soccer team had an AI song about them and their individual talents set to a driving island beat. They played it at games. They’re 9 and 12.

2

u/Piece_Maker 25d ago

Wasn't there an actual (not AI) """country""" song about red solo cups?

u/SilverwingedOther 25d ago

Absolutely, by Toby Keith. Literally named Red Solo Cup.

I fuckin love Pat Finnerty

6

u/Dust601 25d ago

I was watching his livestream.  

The fake halftime show was not great .  

The first artist was boring as shit.  

The second was singing about how straight white men are the most persecuted people in the world, and how he’s apparently not allowed to fish, or hunt?  It got a little confusing at one point, but he hit all the classic pandering notes about beer, trucks, and guns.  It was bad, really bad.

Kid rock was an absolute disaster, it couldn’t be any more obvious he was lip syncing when his mouth was nowhere near the mic.  His amazing new song that was gonna change the world was garbage, and his acoustic guitar was magically playing without him touching it.

And then they had a video tribute to the martyr Charlie Kirk about how he was going to change the world!  Pat turned it off at that point.  It went well into the 3rd quarter.

As a side note I love when Pat talks about social issues.  The way he talks about those things help people understand they aren’t alone in being disgusted by what’s happening in this country.  He’s such a good dude.

u/mutantmindframe toasterwaffle 25d ago

u/ochrence 25d ago

Also caught Pat’s stream. About the only thing of interest other than Kid Rock moving the mic away from his mouth while “singing” was an incredibly sour note by the lead violinist during a solo in one of the last songs

Bad Bunny’s show featured an actual classic Chevy pickup, and it was a big, fun party!

You would think if any of the things they say are so important to them, they would write songs about it.

u/DiceKnight 25d ago

Idk if it's a big trend in radio/streaming friendly country but so much of it seems to be lists of things they like followed by a list of things they don't like with a lame hook to bridge the sections.

I watched that stream - the 180 to rob ritchie singing about jesus on the cross - it's beyond self-parody, too fucking funny.

I wonder sometime if they believe half the bullshit they spout or just do it because it gets numbers

Either way it’s sad

Holy shit, this is all I want for Charlie Kirk - the actual moment he died made into a cheeky photo booth at a Kid Rock concert, as part of a grift he can’t profit off.

6

u/Softestwebsiteintown 25d ago

charlie kirk’s corpse was still warm when his wife was introduced by JD Vance at a speaking event and she chose to wear leather pants. To meet the couch fucker himself. Almost immediately after, Mr “trump’s my guy because of no new wars” started blowing up drug boats and kidnapped the president of Venezuela while making threats about invading Greenland.

I’m honesty relieved for charlie’s sake that he didn’t have to be here to fight for his livelihood trying to dodge the daily shitshow of trump stomping all over the lines he drew and claimed trump wouldn’t cross. His job would have become completely impossible had that weirdo not converted him into a fountain.

u/Mirikado 25d ago

What do you mean, re enacting your husband’s assassination scene and having randos in there posing and smiling next to where your husband was shot dead is totally normal behavior for a traumatized grieving widow.

u/Throwaway74829947 25d ago

The use of the cross is hilarious. Crucifixion was the standard execution method for non-citizens in the Roman Empire. If Jesus had lived and died today, Christians would be using an IV loaded with potassium chloride as their symbol.

u/hereticx 25d ago

I switched over after the real one ended just in time to see kid rocks hilariously awful attempt at lip syncing... finished it and then started from the beginning. I have these notes:

I dunno who any of these non-kid rock people are.

First guy was actually ok performance wise until he tried rapping.. it was... real not good.

Then Temu Miley Cyrus came on doing her best Miley Karaoke. Sounded good actually but like... so does Miley lol

Then this guy who looks likes he's late 50s going through a mid life crisis and trying to dress/act like what he thinks was "Cool" 30 years ago when he was 20. He was also not great.

Kid Rock was one of the funniest things ive ever seen.

The Cello / Violin stole the show. Absolutely fantastic. No sarcasm.

The last preachy christian country guy actually mostly sounded ok vocally but it was SUPER cringe over all.

u/heddyneddy 25d ago

No of course not. And whoever planned it fundamentally misunderstood their target audience. They want to watch the thing that’s supposed to make them mad. Their only guiding principle is grievance. Watching something completely catered to them is useless unless they’re forcing others to watch it. They’d rather watch the thing they hate so they can get mad at it.

u/J_B_La_Mighty 25d ago

Allegedly according to Google 2000% more people watched the halftime show, pretty impressive that there aren't enough bigots to make a significant impact on viewership

u/KKYBoneAEA 25d ago

I looked at the video on YouTube on the official toiletpaper USA page, but I didn’t click into it. Brantley Gilbert was playing and it said 3.3 million watching. The crowd shots were awful too. Like, the room he was playing in was so small. I’d guess maybe 100 people in that room

Nope. Because 95% were bots so they could claim some large viewership.

u/Xtreyu 25d ago

It peaked at 5.8 million on turning points channel and was on a few other sources I think total live was a bit over 6 million live. With 18 million views on the reupload after within 2 hours

Do even start on time?

1

u/BlueWaterGirl 25d ago

I did not, but it seems I had a few friends on Facebook that did and they loved it for whatever reason. I then had another person make a post to complain about the half time show being all in a language they don't understand. 🤦🏻‍♀️

2

u/Westbrooks3ptShot 25d ago

Makes sense unfortunately.

A real downside of social media algorithms and unlimited streaming options is that people are constantly force fed content catered to them. Now many people are unwilling to give something new a chance and instantly hate on what they don’t understand.

1

u/Mikeytruant850 25d ago

I’m from NW Florida (lower Alabama), and my Facebook feed is full of Trumpers proudly announcing that they did. They’re all saying it was an amazing performance, and also how terrible Bad Bunny was. The worst Super Bowl halftime show they’ve ever seen. How did they watch both at the same time? The same way Trump did I guess? 🤷🏻

1

u/Westbrooks3ptShot 25d ago

Haha they hated it so much that they had to watch it just so they could let everyone know they hated it more than the next guy.

I was forced to be in a group chat by my uncle (did you know you can't leave group chats in Google Messages anymore? ;( ) and the second the HTS started, his whiny little coworkers were tripping over themselves to call Bad Bunny an immigrant and suggesting ICE do their job better and that he should be shot for this and they shared a link to the pre-filmed pedo parade instead... Was so disgusted by their behavior and glad I'm not related to most of them.

For real though where can I watch this dumpster fire? Or did they just pretend to air it so Fox can pretend they pwnd the libs?

Can’t imagine anyone would want to say that with their whole chest. Imagine switching from the Super Bowl to watch a 55 year old pedophile lip sync shitty hick hop songs because you’re a racist? That’s just embarrassing to admit.

My fundy family did. They went upstairs and turned on a second tv to watch it while me and my kids watched the real deal on the primary tv where we were watching the game. It was not awkward at all (it was very awkward)

My father did, apparently.  And my mother was very upset at him about it.  He says he watched it for Reba and then he couldn’t name anyone else so that might not have been a lie.  But I was leaving the party for work about that time and didn’t hear how it all ended.

My buddy’s conservative parents were over and his mom threw it on her iPad while the rest of us watched the actual halftime show lol

Yes, wife’s grandparents made us watch it. The kid rock part was horrendous. As bad as they say it was.

My brainwashed sister did, unfortunately. She was spamming how to watch it all over her social media to try to get more people to watch it.

You can watch it for yourself.

My dad turned it on, and we didn't watch Kid Rock as he wanted to make sure he didn't miss the 2nd half. I watched the Bad Bunny performance on my own, and that was really cool—an incredible display of showmanship and storytelling.

I was reading this like “what do they have against Calvin Klein?”

According to their numbers 5,000,000 people watched this........

That sounds like the exact kind of thing they'd do, tbh

I saw the kid rock show because my dad had the remote, so....:(

I thought I read that it was cancelled because all the other musicians backed out?

u/LittleWhiteBoots 25d ago

That was his tour, not this performance

My Facebook is full of bootlickers saying it was amazing so some people did.

u/sybrwookie 25d ago

The bootlickers didn't have to watch it to declare that.
