The crowd at the Super Bowl halftime aren’t actual fans -- they’re plants brought in to act as if they’re having a great time. But nobody in the history of Super Bowl Halftime Performance Crowds has ever done a better job of acting as if he’s having a great time than Ecstatic Jumping Man.
The secret star of the Super Bowl is Ecstatic Jumping Man
Last year we met Left Shark, who didn’t quite know the dance moves, but didn’t care. This year, we met Ecstatic Jumping Guy.
Ecstatic Jumping Man is having the time of his freakin’ life. Ecstatic Jumping Man is so happy, he’s forgotten he’s capable of moving his arms past the elbow. He’s bouncing so giddily that his phone nearly falls out of his breast pocket, where it’s normally neatly secured. When he tells Jim from Accounting about his weekend in their 9 a.m. staff meeting tomorrow, Jim is gonna be SO JEALOUS.
Ecstatic Jumping Man might not have the best moves, or the coolest look. But he’s having more fun than anybody else at the Super Bowl. Isn’t that important?
