Lol! The number of people assuming all of America hated this show is funny. Found it highly entertaining with lots of subtle meanings which most people just would not get.


Really? Explain the “subtle meanings”. Not Drake is a pedo or America/whitey bad, actual subtlety.

I’m a fan of Kendrick’s hits, but this show sucked. I don’t buy any of his hidden meaning bullshite, it’s just cope and dickriders that want to explain away his mediocrity.

Is that just for the USA or is that worldwide?

Those numbers are skewed. Just because that many people had the game on doesn't mean they all watched that shitshow that passed for halftime entertainment.

In my house, the volume was all the way down and the wife and I were eating dinner until it was, thankfully, all over. And by so many of the comments I've read about how bad it was, we didn't miss anything worth watching.

Further evidence that hip hop is dead.

It went from a raw medium with zero subtlety to completely mainstream pop full of fans on the internet twirling their wine glass around repeating “you wouldn’t get the subtleties and nuances of the perforhmanceeee”.

But I didn't believe the ratings #s for a second.

I don't believe the numbers either, but for completely different reasons. The SB is one of those events that most people watch in large groups. Every SB party I have ever been to have no less than 25 people watching at 1 house on 2 or 3 TVs. How do the ratings account for this? Is it simply a metric where they see the number of TVs tuned in and assume the average number of people watching. Do they use the same metric/formula every year?

Do you think most people watch it or simply leave the TV on to not miss the 2nd half while socializing?

They just make up those numbers. No way a third of the entire country tuned in to watch that.


They make samples work how they want, but this year Neilson also included all of the continental US out of home audiences (or something like that) in ratings instead of just 65%. In the past they just included 65% which was the top maybe 44 markets, but this game they started to include the entire country (minus Hawaii and Alaska) which increased ratings by that one change alone.

It also doesn’t account for people using halftime to do other stuff instead of watching, but tvs were still streaming the game/halftime show. Comparing a total viewership to Michael Jackson’s performance when the US population had maybe 90 million less people and no streaming compared to today is also a little disingenuous. More people and all the serious streaming options now (which are easier to measure on top of the increased access) compared to 1993 is big factor that should be accounted for in any comparison.

Halftime numbers were lower than the game’s peak numbers that occurred in the 2nd quarter, but some people have tried to compare the halftime ratings to the game’s lower average rating over the entire game to then falsely claim numbers went up for halftime show above the game’s.
