Usher is talented. His dancing is next-level, and he often draws inspiration from other artists. But the fans did not hold back when he broke out several ticking dance moves during his Super Bowl halftime performance. The bug jokes are stacking up and a new meme has been born.
Usher’s halftime performance was SO GOOD. He sang well and invited some of his best celebrity friends (I’m still not over that H.E.R. appearance) to join the party. But, we must talk about some of the dancing. Most of it was great, considering I would have sprained a knee attempting any of it, but Usher —my man — WHAT IS THIS?!
I know you have been doing ticking for years, but WHY?!

I somehow missed this in real-time, but the internet did not. Fans immediately dropped bug references and memes.
