This is not from the TP USA halftime show. Easily verifiable not. The real halftime show pictures look like this.

You can see the venue isn't that deep on the sides though. And all the pictures are intentionally not showing the crowd (180 view from pictures). The venue isn't that big. A large club or mid size rock lounge is about the same size. Still laughable, but we don't need to miss-attribute pictures and lie about their context.

Fake news, the crowd was clearly much larger.

thank you for the laugh

I love the multiple trumps and kid rocks. Well done.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Thanks, it's fun to throw these together even if it does mean zooming in on unspeakable horrors.

Linked image content warning for those who don't want to traumatize co-workers or shoulder-surfing family members unnecessarily:Same Trump image as what's in the edited concert photo but magnified and cropped with a focus on the Russian asset.

It’s from HBO’s Silicon Valley … but also, it’s pretty damn similar.

Oh so there weren't 15 people there, there were 20

The crowd you see in the first pic, to the left of the stage, is symmetric to the other side, just not shown in the pictures I put in the post. The crowd behind the sight line of the camera is the big question. But if you go by normal venue layouts and make an educated guess based off the width you can see, I would put it at maybe 3x deeper then the stage, plus wings. So maybe 200? No more than 300. So, like I said it would be about a large club or medium rock lounge. Think slightly smaller than your standard House of Blues venue.

If they had a big crowd, they'd post it everywhere. All they got is bots watching the feed

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I can confirm I know one non bot actual human whose inlaws turned off bad bunny for this at halftime. She told her coworkers without mentioning that it was the host forcing it on them. Something along the lines of "what'd you think of the halftime show?" She not thinking just replied oh, I didn't watch it, we watched kid rock instead, and apparently caught dirty looks the rest of the day. I know the husband's parents are full MAGA, but the husband tries to both sides everything which is such fucking tired rhetoric in 2026. Pretty sure he's closet MAGA.

Toilet Paper USA, great name for it though

Is this real?

It can’t be real.

[–] scribbler@lemmy.world 32 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Lol it's from the show Silicon Valley

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 16 points 3 days ago

Yeah. Still seems like too many people.

Kid rock must be the poorest person there!
