Super Bowl LVIII is underway between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs. Nickelodeon is conducting a kids’ broadcast that involves characters from SpongeBob SquarePants commenting on the game. Well, on the first drive of the game, there was already a viral reaction to the broadcast.
San Francisco RB Christian McCaffrey Fumbles
On the first drive of the game, the 49ers had a promising drive. Unfortunately, any chance of putting up points disappeared thanks to a fumble by 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey. Not only did that allow Chiefs to get possession of the football but Nickelodeon did not let him forget it. Patrick Star even offered to give McCaffrey a piece of advice. He did this by saying:
“You have to firmly grasp it!” -Patrick Star
Fans React
Fans know that this is a famous line from the show. Here is what they had to say about it being used in the broadcast:
“Nick broadcast already delivering.”
“I might switch to Nick.”
“CMCs career is over.”
At the end of the first quarter, Super Bowl LVIII was scoreless. Now, it is 3-0 49ers. We will have to see what other plays Nickelodeon has the chance to comment on.
