The Weeknd's Super Bowl halftime show completely exceeded our wildest expectations and wound up providing some unexpected meme fodder along the way. Just a few minutes into his history-making, scene-stealing performance, the 30-year-old singer marched into an illuminated, funhouse-like set hidden in the middle of the enormous stage and briefly acted frantically lost among the mirrors before starting to belt out his hit song "Can't Feel My Face." The trippy moment and his frenzied facial expression, though quick, immediately got my wheels spinning about all of the relatable moods it could encapsulate. Ahead are just a smattering of situations in which I've felt similarly lost and distraught.
