Halftime, Snacks, Commercials & Memes

The Super Bowl is about more than just sports. While the main spectacle will be broadcast on FOX, social media platforms will also be filled with Super Bowl-related discourse, comedic takes, replays, and more. Epic memes of Super Bowls past include Katy Perry’s Left Shark, Lady Gaga’s descent from above, the Super Bowl Selfie Kid, and others. The top Super Bowl 2020 memes may come from ads, fan-antics, the halftime show, the game itself, or from Super Bowl-related viral posts like last year’s I made queso meme.

TikTok has already started getting in the Super Bowl spirit with two hashtag-based dance challenges. #TouchDownCelebrations is a challenge promoted by the NFL inviting users to show off their best touchdown celebration dances.

@nflMatt Judon’s got the moves. 😎 Show us your best #TouchdownCelebration and we’ll comment on our favorite ones! #nfl #superbowlLIV ravens #football♬ GUD VIBRATIONS – NGHTMRE & SLANDER

Charli D’Amelio is set to star in a commercial for Sabra with retired NFL player Boomer Esiason. Yes, there will be an Ok Boomer joke.

Also on TikTok, popular creators will be posting Chipotle-sponsored videos during every timeout set to Justin Bieber’s new single “Yummy” with the hashtag #TikTokTimeout.

A Rick And Morty and Pringles mashup commercial has already sparked a popular meme format, but most iterations of this meme erase the Pringles logo from the image macro.

Congratulations! You just played yourself from rickandmorty
