On Sunday, Feb. 3, the much anticipated Super Bowl LIII took place... and, unfortunately, it was super boring. Yep: Despite how much hype the game received prior to kick off, the actual game and Half Time performances seemed to generally bore the internet, like ~Zzzzz~ central. Don't believe me? Wait until you see some of these memes about how boring the Super Bowl was, all of which capture just how uninterested many viewers considered the game and performances. The lack of game-time enthusiasm might be due to the fact that the Patriots have already been to the Super Bowl 11 times and won six games — like, this is nothing new. But you'd think that the excitement of the possibility of the Rams taking their second Super Bowl win in 20 years would do something to evoke interest in audiences? Nah? OK then.

And while live shots of the audience at the actual game might seem enthused and peppy, the internet paints a different picture, making the most exciting part of the game the memes that came from it. The Patriots took another win, Adam Levine took his shirt off and generally acted like he had just watched Bohemian Rhapsody for the first time, and Travis Scott played with fire — and really, that's all that happened. All of this is to say that if you were experiencing FOMO because you missed the game, you didn't miss much. The memes were the best part and they're all here for you now.
