Katy Perry
took over the Super Bowl during a spectacular halftime show and her
12-minute performance quickly sparked a slew of Internet memes.
The
30-year-old pop superstar made a dramatic entrance wearing a red and
yellow flaming dress and riding atop a mechanised tiger.
Her
fiery outfit earned quick comparisons online to the late US
professionnal wrestler Bam Bam Bigelow who wore outfits with hot-rod
style flames along with a large flame tattoo on his head.

Her entrance to others also evoked memories of Peter Griffin riding a lion in an episode of the animated comedy The Family Guy.
Some also thought the outfit was similar to the ice skating costume worn by Will Ferrell in his 2007 comedy Blades Of Glory.
