Big Game Not (Super) Bowling Twitter Over: ‘This Sucks Pretty Hard’

The first half of Super Bowl LIII did not go over well on social media. The low scoring game (second lowest first half in Super Bowl history) has people dragging the game, and the commercials, and even the halftime show that before it started.

There were memes and gifs, and even people hoping for a Spongebob appearance. Check it out.

A made for each other #superbowl…

Terrible game matched with stunningly unimaginative ads. At $5 mil+ a pop.

So far – Super Boring 3-0 second lowest combined first half score in #SuperBowl history. 2-0 Super Bowl IX Steelers Vikings

A boring, 3-0 game, terrible commercials and Maroon 5 on deck is pretty much indicative of the state of the #NFL as a whole at this point in history. #SBLIII #SuperBowl
