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!

Elon Musk Shades Trump After Old Video Of Him Calling Out Government For Not Prosecuting Epstein Clients Resurfaces

On Saturday, February 21, the X account Thomas Sowell Quotes (@ThomasSowell) posted a video of platform owner Elon Musk speaking to former Fox News talking head Tucker Carlson. The post didn't include tags or hashtags.

The 43-second clip, from an over one hour interview, featured the pair laughing about the disparity between the prosecution of the violent insurrectionists who stormed the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, versus Jeffrey Epstein's friends and clients who trafficked and sexually exploited young women and children.

Gavin Newsom Says What We're All Thinking After Women's Hockey Team Declines Trump's State Of The Union Invite Amid Locker Room Phone Call Controversy

California Governor Gavin Newsom praised the U.S. Women’s Hockey Team after they announced they will not accept President Donald Trump’s invitation to attend his State of the Union address, coming one day after he quipped to the U.S. Men’s Hockey Team that failing to invite the women as well might get him impeached.

The development followed the Americans’ victory over Canada to claim gold in Thursday’s Olympic women’s hockey final. The U.S. Men’s Hockey Team also captured gold on Sunday with another win over Canada.

C-SPAN Issues Clarification After Video Goes Viral Of Man Who Sounds Like Trump Calling Into C-SPAN Under Fake Name

C-SPAN issued a clarification after a caller identifying himself as “John Barron” — a pseudonym long associated with Donald Trump — phoned into its program Washington Journal, leading some viewers to suspect the president had personally joined the broadcast.

The caller, identified as "John Barron" and described as a Republican from Virginia, drew attention for a voice that closely resembled that of Trump as he criticized what he called the Supreme Court’s “worst decision” against his emergency tariffs. The name itself raised eyebrows, since "John Barron" was a pseudonym Trump frequently used in the 1980s when speaking to reporters while posing as his own spokesman.
