Whatever: some writer proposes a headliner for the next Super Bowl halftime show. Fark: it's the one artist we all could agree on

I'm telling you, that show would garner more attention than most of the ads. It would be awesome and it would keep people watching instead of pissing, jerking off, or refilling the kegerator.
Make this happen!

If all he did was come out and play the accordion, we'd still have to go back to 2007 and Prince to find a better performance.
Still surprised nobody got all high and mighty about the guitar penis show.

Maybe, but I don't remember them at all. It's only when I looked up the year for Prince that I found they both played in the years after. So I'm going with they don't count.

I'm all for this, but only if Al finally gets to sing one of his Prince parodies.
In fact, the whole halftime show could be a parody of Prince's 2007 show, and Al could have his own guitar penis gag... maybe with a dangling accordion.

A Weird Al halftime show would not only be the best thing to happen to football since the introduction of the ball, it would serve to restore my faith in mankind.

Sometimes he gets things mixed up. It's tough cleaning jizz out of a kegerator.

I'll say this though.
A Weird Al Halftime show would have me GLUED to that tv. And I normally switch over to something else like the puppy bowl when the halftime show is on (although like I said, I liked Springsteen and Petty).

Nah, not controversial enough. I say we completely provoke the Baby Boomer set, throw off their washed-up, old-coot yoke, and hit them full force with the Bloodhound Gang. Or maybe Rage Against The Machine, they can do another naked PMRC protest.
Weird Al is better than nothing, certainly better than the crap they've put out over the last decade, but if you're going to break the mold go big.

Maybe a Wierd Al / Lonely Island Collaboration? Just to attract the younger crowd that doesn't remember "I'm Fat" or the yoda song.

I can not be the only one who thinks Rush playing the halftime show would rock.

I was thinking Neil Diamond, but I approve of Weird Al too.

Sadly, I'd have to say that this year, as much of a joke as it would be to have Weird Al (and a great performance at that), the real joke is the actual game itself. So damn disappointed with who ended up in the Super Bowl, mostly with the Giants, but damn it all so much, this season had potential!

How is a rematch of one of the biggest upsets in NFL history a joke?

I knew who it was before I clicked on the link. Well to be more specific, I read the headline and he was the first people to pop into my head... then I thought subby was trolling so I tried to think of who else it could be. Like Justin Beiber or something. Lucky for me subby wasn't trolling.

This is what I expected when I clicked on the link. Amused to see Weird Al. I'm not part of the Fark Weird Al Brigade, but I wouldn't mind seeing him in the superb owl halftime show. Broad appeal, amusing, allegedly quite talented...

RATM would be awesome, and while I love BHG no way could they pull off a half-time show. I think it's time to try to quit appeasing the older people watching and bring in some heavy rock groups from this (90s-00s) generation.

As I have repressed any and all memory of that day from hell, other than it scaring the living fark out of me today, I can neither confirm nor deny the quality of Tom Petty's show.
\other than the crotch shot Bruce was good
\\The Who sucked, and if it were allowed to say BEP was good on Fark I would

Tiesto
Bazooka Joe & Illogic
Snoop & Dre
Madonna iz an ill choice 2. She'll get tha biatches @ ur parrrrty on tha pole
Almost bit on this, but I've lurked in too many threads to forget that name.

Here's a better idea,
Get rid of the stupid halftime show
.
It kills the flow of the game, it's usually lame (no matter who is performing) and I didn't tune in to watch a musical act.
I just want football for my football game
.

2012-02-05 08:46:09 AM
Add me to the pro-Weird Al contingent. That would absolutely AWESOME. Hell, why not have Rage Against The Machine and Katy Perry up there with him at the same time? Just for maximum lulz, of course.
But yes, Weird Al for the Superb Owl Halftime Show!

Yes, thank you. I could not agree more. Go back to Super Bowl I- have a 12 minute halftime (like every other NFL game). You want entertainment in between commercials? Fine, here's a dog catching a Frisbee. Be entertained by that.
And now, back to the damn game.

Why not do a half time show with cheerleaders bouncing on trampolines.
I am saying this as a straight, married female.

Weird all would be a great pick for the halftime show, but my choice for best available would be the Foo-FIghters. High energy songs, a ton of recognizable hits in the catalog, and by all accounts a scorching live act.

If I recall, the Giants got whooped up on twice this year by the Redskins, arguably one of the worst teams in the NFL this year. It's hardly a rematch, it's a farking joke. Also, halftime shows suck.
