Learning absolutely nothing from last year’s non-event that saw a faux-woodsy Justin Timberlake blandify the half-time show, this year Maroon 5 sunk it even further. The band delivered an inoffensive, hard to hate but hard to feel anything for performance with jarring cameos that felt tacked on.

Ads-wise, a lot of studios chose to sit this one out with many expected trailers not showing up. Marvel and Disney dominated while there were some inspired concepts from the non-entertainment side of things, such as the insane Skittles musical.

It’s crazy how one of the most in-demand gigs in the industry has now become a poisoned chalice but Maroon 5 has gained approximately nothing from getting involved this year and it’s going to be a tough ask to find someone to perform in 2020.
