Top 10 Twitter Reactions to the #SuperBowlBlackout

Sunday’s Super Bowl between the Ravens and the 49ers was probably the funniest-not-funnest game in years, since more viewers took to Twitter to express the real talk than ever before.

We had an electrifying halftime show takeover courtesy of Beyoncé and her Destiny's Child bandmates/backup singers, lame Super Bowl commercial breaks and a family affair showdown for the NFL title. But the third-quarter power outage took the cake, knocking out the game for a good half hour and knocked half the Twitterverse onto their phones and laptops.

So, whose fault was it? Buffalo Wild Wings’? Bane’s? Ron Weasley’s?

10. Some Niners fans just really wanted their team to win:

They just said a #BuffaloWildWings employee in San Fran was messing with the switches behind the bar to delay the game. #SuperBowlBlackout

9. Helen Keller made it an #awkwardmoment…

The whole game's been a black out for me... #SuperBowlBlackout

8. Sibling rivalries probably got real:

John Harbaugh: "Jim used to turn the Nintendo off when he was losing too." #superbowlblackout

7. PBS politely offered another option for disappointed Bowl viewers:

This might be a good time think about alternative programming. #SuperBowlBlackOut #WeHaveDowntonPBS

6. NBC just can’t handle the synergy—likely Jack Donaghy’s doing:

Ugh, stop trying to make Revolution happen, NBC! #SuperBowlBlackOut

5. Gingers got (rightfully) blamed:

Ron picked the worst possible time to use his Deluminator. #poweroutage #superbowlblackout

4. Some brought back up the past. More awkward:

Talk to the locals. This is a regular occurrence for some in the region. #superbowlblackout

— Donna Brazile (@donnabrazile) February 4, 2013

And again:

Uh, this really is a poor time for a Katrina tribute. #SuperBowlBlackout

3. The obligatory Beyoncé name-check:

Beyonce's performance was too powerful, blew out all the lights. #superbowlblackout

1. The Illuminati finally revealed themselves to a dazed and confused public:

The Illuminati Accepts Responsibility for the #superbowlblackout #poweroutage

— The Illuminati (@ThelIluminati) February 4, 2013

It took some work.

A lot of sacrifices were made to us for that #superbowlblackout to happen.

But it was probably because of a href= http://clin.to/MeEx>this guy:
