The greatest Super Bowl halftime show memes of all time (Left Shark! 50 Cent!), ranked

Super Bowl Chris Martin Beyoncé Bruno Mars Justin Timberlake

The Super Bowl halftime show is one of the best things about NFL’s annual title game — and for some, it’s THE best thing.

But for me, the memes that come out of halftime that are in the top-three things about the Super Bowl.

We’ve had so many legendary memes that explode that night and last for weeks. And it’s pretty much a guarantee that we’ll get one from the Rihanna show at Super Bowl 57 on Sunday.

That’s why it’s a good time to rank the best of the best, the ones that we loved sharing.

Here they are, the best Super Bowl memes of all time, ranked:
