The best memes, jokes, and tweets from the 2021 Super Bowl

• The 2021 Super Bowl drew viewers eager to see the game, its halftime show, and fun advertisements.
• The event also played out online, with people making memes throughout and after.
• Some of the best memes involved The Weeknd's halftime performance and an Oatly commercial.

Each year, the Super Bowl is a major cultural event that brings together the worlds of professional sports and entertainment. Whether you're tuning in for the game itself, the legendary advertisements between play, or the halftime show, there's sure to be plenty to talk online during and after, and it always means that there are some pretty good memes.

This year's game resulted in a Tampa Bay Buccaneers victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.

Advertisements, like one that featured Timothée Chalamet as Edward Scissorhands' son, made waves online. Many people discussed The Weeknd's halftime performance, which featured songs like "Blinding Lights," "Starboy," and "Can't Feel My Face."

On social media platforms, even those that weren't tuning in could participate in the memes, which ranged from funny quips about the event itself to a moment from The Weeknd's halftime performance turning into a viral reaction image.

One of the most reaction-provoking advertisements was from Oatly CEO Toni Petersson singing about how Oatly was "like milk, but made for humans." Widely decried, the company profited off of people's displeasure, selling out a shirt that read "I totally hated that commercial," Insider's Brittany Chang reported.

As NBC News' Kalhan Rosenblatt reported, Drake memes also took over the timeline following his appearance in a State Farm commercial that showed him looking rather muscular. In the commercial, Drake acts as a double for "Jake from State Farm," a character that frequently appears in the insurance company's commercials.
