Katy Perry’s yarmulke-inspired dress* (the “bramulke,” if you will) won the Super Bowl last night, obliterating all other competitors—including Perry herself, who put on a pretty good show.

But Idina Menzel (AKA Adele Dazeem) was a close second with her stunning rendition of the national anthem, which had just the right amount of theatrical trilling and drama. Love how she punches the air at the end! She knows she’s nailed it. Take that, Alicia!

Comedian Billy Eichner received an honorable mention for a series of perfectly executed tweets:

At the end of the game they will announce who gets Israel

And apparently a bunch of dudes played a football game? I have no idea what the outcome was; sorry. I’m Australian.

This concludes your coverage of Super Bowl XLIX—and your sports news for 2015. See you next year!

Hey Katy Perry, you devout Christian, you. Nice try dressing up as “Yosef Shulum”.

The “roar” singer is gearing up for her new summer single, “Birthday,” and recently aired a promotional trailer for her music video dressed as various characters in full costume. There’s a ditzy social media queen, a drunk clown, a “has been” Vegas dancer….and a Jewish (he’s wearing a yarmulke) bar mitzvah DJ.

Yosef Shulum is one of “those Jews” that spits a lot when he talks and tells corny jokes. Perry drew from her bag of classic Jewish stereotypes; specifically, the notion that Jews are penny savers. The “putzy Jewish entertainer” closes with a dopey joke, “Did you hear about the rabbi who did free circumcisions? He only did it for tips!”

Eh, ok. Why doesn’t Perry just stick to lollypops and Candy Land and whipped-cream- infused bras? Pretty lame overall, but maybe the song will be fun summer jam. After all, I do like me some “roar.”

Watch the trailer at your own discretion.

The 16-year-old gymnast also roots for the Los Angeles Lakers, likes music by Drake and Katy Perry, and says her prayers everyday. Gabby Douglas, we love you.
