12 Super Awkward Moments From The 2022 Super Bowl

The best part of the show, TBH.

On Sunday, The Cincinnati Bengals faced off against the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LVI. Better than the touchdowns, interceptions, or field goals are the awkward moments throughout the show.

The Polestar commercial appeared to take some jabs at Tesla, promising “no conquering Mars” and “no greenwashing.”

People thought it was a shot at Tesla because its founder and CEO Elon Musk has said he plans to get an orbit to Mars by 2024. The company has also been accused of greenwashing, or really over-selling and overstating how eco-friendly the company is. More on that here.

People also called out the awkward celeb pairings in the commercials this year, like Brie Larson and Eugene Levy for Nissan:

And people called out Eminem for seemingly lipping to a pre-recorded track for the one song he performed, “Lose Yourself”:

Anyone else catch Eminem lip syncing? 🤣😂🤣😂. Lowers the mic and he was still magically singing.

And lastly, referees missed this blatant penalty, where you can see Jalen Ramsey’s helmet clearly being pulled by Tee Higgins:
