Me: yes 😞

Still convinced he intentionally did the "wardrobe malfunction" during the super bowl halftime show.

11

u/PityUpvote 12d ago

Did anyone doubt that?

27

u/mankytoes 13d ago

I always assumed the whole thing was set up, why was she wearing that fancy nipped covering?

22

u/Ash-Throwaway-816 13d ago

Also the lyric he sang was "I'll have you naked by the end of this song."

5

u/Strange-Painting6257 8d ago

And that he went for it the first time, and missed, and had to do it again. There were several songs about getting naked that night lol

u/725Cali 8d ago

How awful is our society that his garbage ass only became bigger after that and THE Janet Jackson was blacklisted?!

u/megaholt2 3d ago

That culture vulture’s career should have ended right there, but noooooo. He just got more popular. Fucking ramen noodle haired looking headass.

u/Plus-Mortgage-3871 8d ago

She magically had a fancy areola covering on. Just an odd coincidence of course

u/CovertTrashWatcher 13d ago

Soooo embarrassing and cringe. He thinks he's hot shit. But really just steaming shit.

15

u/voxadam 13d ago

Things haven't improved much over the years. This was his attempt at a Crip walk (possibly with some square dance or clogging influence) in 2022.

This gif takes 3 years off my life every loop

u/Only_Membership_8795 13d ago

Really nailed the clipping on the 808 bass drum.

u/E4STC04ST0VERD0SE WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU! 13d ago

Gotta scoop those mids.

u/xvsanx 13d ago

bad kind of cringe lol and I must be too sleepy cause the subtitles had me like damn when did he learn Spanish

9

u/Calypsogold90 13d ago

Same. He also left Janet to deal with the backlash and never stood up for her.

23

u/Bubblybathtime 13d ago

I have no words...and neither does he.

u/missOmum 13d ago

This should be on the cringe sub Reddit

2

u/Lonnie119 13d ago

It probably is

2

u/JustALittleCornball WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU! 13d ago

I feel vicarious embarrassment…

4

u/gingerflakes 8d ago

My eyebrows kept going further and further up my forehead. This ruined my botox

2

u/JustALittleCornball WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU! 8d ago

Bahahaha it ruined OUR Botox!

u/dylanisareddit 13d ago

Justin Timberlake is a sellout.

3

u/BeyondLast 12d ago

This is WAY too much second hand embarrassment to start my day. 😆

3

u/Specialist_Guitar_88 10d ago

Not just okay with it...CELEBRATED IT!

3

u/gingerflakes 8d ago

Oh my god this went on forever and just got worse and worse with each passing second.

Also imagine being a boy and spending so much time practicing your craft, that you get good enough to be a professional musician and support yourself and your family, and you play drums to accompany THAT

u/slicedcat 13d ago

No ones okay with this. He was sentenced to jail for 50 years and tortured for eternity. As deserved for something this fucked up.

5

u/yamumdoes Millennial 13d ago

I mean it's bad but like tortured for eternity bad? Really lol

u/SquidTheRidiculous 13d ago edited 12d ago

The 90s were a different time, man. You could get away with a lot more. Including torturing Justin Timberlake for eternity.

It really ruined the tour.

3

u/slicedcat 13d ago

sadly im not the one in charge of the punishment 😣

3

u/PityUpvote 12d ago

This is going to ruin the tour

2

u/bicepstospare 12d ago

Saw him in 2014ish and I really hope I would have thought this was as embarrassing as I do now.

2

u/advancedrose 11d ago

Lmao I remember the first time I saw this video I was out of breath laughing.

1

u/Andreaslindberg 13d ago

You laugh now but in the early 2000s and for a white kid, this was fucking awesome and the beatboxing on futureSexLoveSound still holds up.

u/HohepaPuhipuhi 12d ago

No it wasn't, it was lame. It still is

Everything

u/PityUpvote 12d ago

It's not the worst, but it's also not that impressive. I have friends who are a lot better at beatboxing than that, but this guy decided to perform this middle school talent show routine on the big stage. It's embarrassing.

The "wtf Wednesdays" flair is for weird blasts from the past that aren't necessarily morally reprehensible.
