Katy Perry’s Super Bowl video of an uncoordinated shark dancer is the best start to your week

Look at its fins flying akimbo!

Katy Perry’s half-time Super Bowl 2015 performance was wild, this we can agree. But did you notice one of her shark backing dancers completely messed up at one point, spawning all kinds of parody videos and six (6) fake Twitter accounts in its wake.

‘Left Shark’, as the hapless dancer’s been dubbed, screwed up their moves during Katy’s Teenage Dreams skit and looked… well, like a stag do member who’s accidentally passed out in a cartoon shark costume, fallen into a skip and woken up on stage at the biggest sporting event of the year. No biggie.

But among the haters, there’s plenty of love for ol’ Leftie. A Vine of his/her flailing around has been watched MILLIONS of times since it went up last night, and it’s basically all we’re living for right now:

Well done, Left Shark. You truly are our spirit animal.

Here are the BEST BITS from last night’s Super Bowl 2015

She entered on a MASSIVE LION singing Roar. Or a tiger. But we think a LION.

And the internet was like "Why is Katy Perry twerking against that fella from The Hunger Games if she likes kissing girls?"

Is it us, or do these dancers look a LOT like Taylor Swift when she's on holiday??

Missy Elliot came onstage and heralded Katy's third costume

We enjoyed Katy's sassy microphone being attached to her wrist. That's just practical

SHE FLEW UP IN THE AIR ON A GIANT SHOOTING STAR. That'll be why the mic was strapped to her wrist. Also why Missy Elliot had two songs on her own, while she was attached to it, we're guessing.
