The Sharks

Katy Perry’s 2015 Super Bowl halftime show was loud and expensive and very committed to being a spectacle. But the only moment I cared about was this backup dancer in a shark costume who clearly had no idea what was happening. His partner was executing the choreography, totally locked in, and this guy was just sort of moving around like he’d woken up seconds before they went live. Not in a funny way—just completely lost. I watched him instead of the actual performance the whole time, and that tells you everything.
