Squidward Tentacles to Introduce Super Bowl Halftime, Maroon 5 to Perform "Sweet Victory"

[Caz]

This is not The Onion.

"SpongeBob SquarePants" fans have been persistent in their quest to have the NFL honor the show's late creator, Stephen Hillenburg, at Super Bowl LIII - and it appears they just might get their wish.

Rodger Bumpass, who voices the character Squidward Tentacles, reportedly confirmed on his Facebook page that he'll be introducing the halftime entertainment.

Maroon 5 and Mercedes-Benz Stadium have both teased a SpongeBob appearance in the wake of an online petition to have "Sweet Victory" - the song featured in the episode "Band Geeks" - performed at the Super Bowl.

???

Even as a joke that's a stretch.

 

[marrec]

Oh wow as if I needed another reason to not watch the Super Bowl

 

[Strike]

You madmen. You fucking did it.

 

[subpar spatula]

I'll actually watch the Superbowl this year. I already know the Patriots will win so this is good news for me.

 

[WarLox]

I'll check out the clips online

Why? This was something people were clamoring for?

By ruining arguably the best moment in the series with Levine's shrieks (I refuse to call it "attempts at singing")?

"The winner takes AHHHHHHHAAALLLL"

 

[Starphanluke]

The amount of oldies in here who didn't grow up on Spongebob is painfully obvious.

I kid, I kid. But seriously, that moment is one of the most universal media moments of my generation. This will be great. I look forward to watching it on Youtube the next day.

Dont fuck up Maroon 5!

Holy shit, it actually worked?

I'm glad I never had any interest in the Half time Superbowl shows. The Paul McCartney half time was great though but that's about it.

I'm also glad I'm working that night because lmao the Patriots are going to go to town.

First ever successful petition?

 

[E_i]

Sweet Victory???

 

[Violence Jack]

They'll listen to this, but they still won't have Weird Al play the halftime show for some reason.

 

[Durden]

Great idea. Too bad Maroon 5's involved.

 

[Woetyler]

What a strange timeline.

 

[DevilMayGuy]

The fuck

I mean Sweet victory ain't that good of a song so doesn't really matter.

Indeed. I didn't think they would actually do it.

 

[Incandenza]

Thread title is misleading, there is still 0 definitive confirmation that Maroon 5 will actually perform the song

I mean it's great in SpongeBob because you don't respect them to sing a rock song. But like sweet victory is just a generic rock song.

Bunch of weird responses, and posters with sticks up their ass in this thread.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

fucking young people

 

[Hollywood Duo]

No chance this happens

 

[Deleted member 9399]

Maroon 5 isn't dad rock enough to do it justice

 

[Soul Skater]

Adam Levine is a god and I take back every shitty thing I've ever said about any Maroon 5 song

"Several SpongeBob-related prop bets have also been released, including whether or not Maroon 5 will perform "Sweet Victory" (Yes -220, No +155), if a SpongeBob costume or inflatable will be used (Yes +465, No -638), and if SpongeBob will kneel in protest (Yes +3000, No -20000). "
