These The Weeknd Memes Are the True Winners of the 2021 Super Bowl
The internet is fascinated with The Weeknd's performance and for good reason.
For the Super Bowl LV halftime performance the "Heartless" singer gave a stellar medley of his hit songs including "Can't Feel My Face," "Starboy" and "Blinding Lights" among others.
During the show, the R&B crooner sang in front of a choir of with glowing eyes. Many compared the hooded backup singers to Star Wars' Jawas and robot C-3PO. One Twitter user wrote, "Halftime Jawa performance? #SuperBowl" along with gif from the cult classic film. Another quipped, "I auditioned for the #PepsiHalftime but didn't book. Congrats to C3PO & their ancestors" and shared a photo of the singers and the movie character for comparison.
There was also the moment where the star took hold of the camera and stumbled through a mirrored funhouse, making a dizzying effect for many watching and creating a perfect meme. Shortly after, the Weeknd became the center of many Internet jokes—step aside, Bernie Sanders!—with fans hilariously trying to explain what exactly the superstar was doing.
