The biggest U.S. sports event of the year and parties across the world were interrupted by a 35-minute power outage during the football Super Bowl at the Superdome on Sunday.

Moments after Baltimore's Jacoby Jones opened the second half with a 108-yard kickoff return for a touchdown that gave the Ravens a 28-6 lead early the third quarter, the scoreboard and half of the overheard lights in the Superdome went out.

Officials waved a stop to play, which abruptly short-circuited the most watched television event of the year.

The blackout shocked everyone at the game, as well as people and celebs watching the most anticipated game of the year from home. Mostly people questioned if Beyoncé should be blamed for the blackout!

Here are some of the funniest reactions to Super Bowl blackout!

This time, it's the rich people trapped in the Superdome.

Not that anybody asked, but every adult human radiates at about 100 Watts -- in the infrared.
