Selfie Kid Steals Justin Timberlake’s Halftime Performance
Justin Timberlake’s performance divided my Twitter timeline. Some loved Timberlake and the fact that he carried the performance on his own. Others wondered why Prince showed up on a giant bedsheet. No matter your opinion on Timberlake’s performance, everyone agreed on one thing.
That kid in the stands was confused as s**t.

But his utter confusion throughout the whole thing became the meme of legends.

Speaking to the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the 13-year-old, whose real name is Ryan McKenna said, “I just thought to myself, ‘I’ll never get this opportunity again in my whole life. I just went for it.”
This kid reminded fans of the infamous Left Shark from Katy Perry’s halftime performance. Except, no one really knew who was in the Left Shark costume. This kid is so screwed. He’s going to be a thing for years and the internet is going to expose him for cheating on his spelling test or something. Don’t do that, internet. Let the kid live.
We don’t need him thinking he’s a pop singer all of a sudden. We already made that mistake with the Cash Me Outside chick.
We have to preserve Selfie Kid at all costs and keep him pure.
