Question #217 Entertainment!

You are in charge of producing the Super Bowl halftime show. You have full creative control, an unlimited budget, and you can even break the rules of space and time by bringing performers back from the dead.

What sort of entertainment will you put together for the Super Bowl Halftime Show?

*Your only parameter is the standard 20 minute halftime show format.

I'd probably have Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers play (and I'd make sure the did not play "Last Dance with Mary Jane" or "Free Fallin'").

I would love to see a full 20 minute version of the bud bowl.

I would build the world's biggest plate of nachos and everyone could come on to the field and eat as much as they can in 20 minutes.

I agree that involving Ms. Spears somehow would be great. Maybe she could pop out of the center like a sexy birthday cake. but nachos.

I'd just give Smith hella Sparks and shit then let him bug Fritch for the full 20.

I could watch that all day.

I am shocked that this is even up for debate.

Two words: "full-scale puppy bowl"

Actually I think they should probably bisect the field and have half puppy bowl and half Bissell Kitty Half-Time Show.

Seriously http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CH9eyfSciKk

Oh, and Chy, wrt to your answer to the previous question: Thats what you think.

beth said...

omg. brittneynachosupreme.

ariel, that is outstanding!

Easy.

Wheel out two comfy chairs, one of which would contain James Lipton and the other a noted actor (I'm going with either Laura Linney or perhaps Dan Hedaya) and have a quick impromptu edition of Inside The Actors Studio. Maybe with microphones, but you know what...maybe without.

giant tanks and people in soldier uniforms would storm the arena. the soldiers would have t-shirt cannons. after yelling some unintelligible command, the tanks and soldiers would open fire on the audience. instead of merch or bullets, they would be shooting giant flaming balls of weed. the stadium would be completely hot-boxed. as the crowd starts to feel the effect of the high, bob marley, peter tosh, rick james, james brown, tupac and elvis would start jamming out, "i shot the sheriff." at the end of the song, giant balloons would explode and mini-chimichangas would fall out of the sky. oh, and there'd have to be some beer there somewhere...

I would have Belle and Sebastian play with the LA Philharmonic (like they did at the best concert I have seen/will ever see) for 10 minutes, sandwiched between two five minute slots of Fred Astaire, Usher, and Vera Ellen dancing (Song 1:The Best Things Happen When You're Dancing, Song 2: Puttin on the Ritz)

but if I couldn't have all that because of the bringing back the dead aspect.. I'd be fine with the NachoSpearspreme that Ariel is hosting.

At work we've been watching Arnold Schwarzenegger's first feature film, Hercules in New York. The scene where he fights the bear is the most entertaining thing I've ever seen. The only thing that could make it better is if it was reenacted live by the governor himself and was twenty minutes long.

I would like to see dinobots vs. constructicons vs. victoria secret models vs. the 1985 chicago bears. and also a beer sprinkler system.

Left Eye, Big Pun, Notorious B.I.G., Princess Di and Anna Nicole Smith all join Tupac to sing "save the best for last" with Vanessa Williams and then they leave earth forever in a spaceship.

Phoebe said...

I'd like to see Russian acrobats, a Kenyan choir, geriatric sword swallowers, and infant fire breathers. Plus nachos. Good call, Ariel.
