With Super Bowl 2020 in the books, it's time to consider the slew of memes and internet humor that inevitably erupted after the big game.

The latest victim: Wilford Brimley, famous for his roles in Cocoon and The Thing fame.

It's truly incredible what irrelevant things become the focus after global television events.

You can call the internet a lot of things, but lacking attention to detail is certainly not one of them.

Relevant PSA: 85-year-old cowboy hat king Wilford Brimley IS NOT the coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, the champions of the NFL's Super Bowl LIV.

Though according to Twitter, Brimley looks way too similar to Kansas City Chiefs' Head Coach, Andy Reid, to not have some fun about it.

Bar Stool Sports' very own Ellie Schnitt kicked off the circus with a quick tweet during the game.

To clarify, "the 'diabeetus guy'" is the Wilford Brimley in question.

Anyone who's been sick, had a snow day, or played hookey and watched daytime TV remembers the Liberty Medical television ad Schnitt alluded to.

Regarding the timelier Brimley-Reid comparison, Twitter was 100% on board with incessant meme production.





Reid, presumably, had a more ambitious Sunday evening than the 85-year old actor, as he took home his first Super Bowl win ever, defeating the San Francisco 49ers.

That said, Brimley did find himself some excitement as he replied to Ellie Schnitt's original tweet.

Folks on Twitter absolutely loved the idea of an 85-year-old elderly man getting into it with a millennial.



Some couldn't help but fixate on the unverified status of Brimley's Twitter account.


And leave it to George Takei to launch things in a more interesting direction entirely.

This far less uncanny comparison caught steam as well.



Some pointed to a slight difference in skincare routines.

Takei's tweet is a nod to the halftime show at the 2020 Super Bowl, courtesy of J Lo, age 50, and Shakira, 43.

In closing, here's an equally stimulating video of Wilford Brimley saying "diabeetus" for 10 straight hours.

Enjoy!

MAGA Actor Randy Quaid Hit With His Own Past Tweet After Claiming Texas Election Was 'Rigged'

Social media users were quick to shut down conservative actor Randy Quaid after he spoke out against the Texas midterm election results, insisting Democrats had "100% rigged" the election.

Texas Democrats swept every statewide race, winning the governorship and a U.S. Senate seat for the first time in decades. The election between Democrat James Talarico and Republican Ken Paxton in the race for the U.S. Senate was over before Election Day even hit because Talarico received more early votes than Paxton received in total.

President Donald Trump was widely criticized for his tone-deaf response after he was questioned by 60 Minutes correspondent Ross Douthat about the billions of dollars reportedly added to his net worth during his second term.

A recent Forbes report noted that Trump's “net worth went up by $3 billion” since he returned to office in January 2025. The publication's estimate says Trump’s net worth exploded from $3.9 billion in 2024 to $7 billion in 2026.

Trump Does About-Face To Push New Election Conspiracy Theory—And Here We Go Again

After previously appearing to accept the midterm election results, President Donald Trump did an about-face and declared in a post on Truth Social that they weren't "honest."

Last week, Democrats swept midterm election races to win back both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate in a clear repudiation of the Trump administration. Trump had a noticeably muted reaction to the results but initially congratulated Democrats and pledged to work with them when new members of Congress are sworn in.
