That is because many people failed to capture the possible cultural significance of the moment.
The Latin superstar spearheaded the Super Bowl halftime show and offered many moves, including a string dance and playing the guitar.
But it was his few seconds of moving his tongue to the camera that launched many memes.

But not everyone thought it was fun.
Along with all the jokes there was also a possible explanation about what it meant.
"I debated whether to talk about this, but with so many disrespectful memes I will say: Shakira was not only being funny with the language thing," one person tweeted. “What she did is called zaghrouta, an Arab tradition used to express joy, emotion, celebration, typically heard at weddings. For your information, she is part Lebanese. ”
Shakira's father is Lebanese.
Others have claimed that it is a tribute to a troupe from Barranquilla, the place where the star was born.
Someone who please explain to non-Colombians that shakira made allegory to dance are black, sticking out his tongue like this 🙈🏈 #HalftimeShow pic.twitter.com/P57JlnRatL

Other memes
Although the internet has agreed that the language of Shakira was the most worthy moment of a meme, there were others who also escaped humor in the networks.
Like the presentation (and the outfit) of Bad Bunny, who also appeared on the stage of the halftime show

The toned bodies of JLo and Shakira, and their energy during the presentation were also material in the networks
