Fourteen years after the wardrobe malfunction seen ’round the world, Justin Timberlake made his return to the Super Bowl halftime show. There was no Prince hologram, but there was a Prince tribute. Twitter had mixed reactions to it all, to say the least.
Most people poked fun at parts of the show:

Others expressed their disappointment:
JT: Selfie?
Kid: Sure let me get my camera up…..it’s a bit slow. Oh, hang on, it’s the wrong way around.
