Now that the Internet has had time to process the many highlights from this year’s Super Bowl 50, we thought we’d jump on in and discuss our favorite parts of the night and some of the best reactions to them.

The National Anthem was sung by the one and only Lady Gaga. And if you missed it because you were still in the kitchen or your head was stuck in an early bowl of queso dip, it’s a darn good thing we’ve got that link for you because she was unbelievable. Some celebs took to Twitter to share their praises for Gaga.

As if Lady Gaga wasn’t enough, the Super Bowl Halftime show featured the Past, Present, and Future with performances from Coldplay, Bruno Mars and Beyoncé. The Past, Present and Future theme of the half time show was clever. They highlighted past Halftime Performances, while the current one was on stage. It really came full circle, with the Super Bowl Babies Choir.

While Coldplay gave shout outs to the Youth Orchestra of LA on Twitter, others were less than excited about Coldplay in general…

While there was an abundance of über expensive commercials, only about five really stood out.

  1. 1. Mountain Dew’s Puppy Monkey Baby Commercial: extremely weird, but definitely something you will not forget.
  2. 2. Heinz’s Weiner Stampede: Adorable, cute, and punny. Made me want to adopt a Dachshund.
  3. 3. #AvosInSpace Commerical: Avocados are trendy and healthy so why wouldn’t you love a commercial about them?
  4. 4. Doritos Ultrasound: Doritos commercials never fail to disappoint.
  5. 5. Drake’s T-Mobile Commercial: Almost makes me want to switch my cell phone carrier to T-Mobile.

Lastly, we can’t forget about the post game press conference. There’s been a lot of speculation as to why Cam Newton abruptly walked out and it’s believed to be because he supposedly heard Denver Bronco’s Chris Harris explain their game plan. While that might be true, we’ve taken a liking to the way SB Nation explains it in this hilarious video.

The best tweet of the night goes to Betty White for this hilarious post
