Super Bowl Sunday is one of the busiest social media days of the year and it pretty much brings everyone out of the woodwork. It's not an exaggeration to say that everyone you follow is tweeting on the game, from award-winning astrophysicists to old pop stars who once helmed the halftime show.
Most of the jokes and comments are forgettable, instantly lost to the stream of observations that rages as fast as an angry river. But a precious few are memorable and are shared by the masses.
Here are five that stood out to us:
1. Deflate-gate Lombardi Trophy: This one made the rounds as soon as the New England Patriots won the AFC title game and headed toward Arizona. But it received new momentum once the Patriots sealed their 28-24 win over the Seattle Seahawks and were handed their fourth (fully inflated) Lombardi Trophy in 14 seasons.
2. Stupid autocorrect! Pete Carroll's crazy decision to throw the ball instead of letting Marshawn Lynch plow three feet to a second straight title got a lot of attention mostly because there was no plausible reason for doing so. Seriously, this explanation made as much sense as any.
3. That poor Nationwide kid: He may have died in a preventable household accident, but even this little fella knew that Russell Wilson's interception was completely preventable as well. #makesafehappen
4. Richard Sherman's four fingers: The Seahawks cornerback mugged for cameras after his team took a 10-point lead, holding up two fingers than four for either Darrelle Revis' jersey number (24) or the number of points the Seahawks had scored. That sequence, however, backfired when the Patriots staged their comeback.
5. Katy Perry channels The More You Know: Because you can't mimic NBC's old PSA without half of the nation's 30-year-olds taking notice with a pair of GIFs.
