Snoop Dogg from Super Bowl LVI Half-Time Show
For the Super Bowl LVI half-time show, Snoop Dogg took the stage alongside other hip-hop icons like Dr. Dre, Eminem, 50 Cent, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar. The all-time rapper’s delivery was smooth as ever, performing “Drop It Like It’s Hot”. Snoop dressed in a blue and yellow tracksuit — a nod to his Los Angeles allegiance — accessorized with gold frames, gold chains, and a gold mic.
Freakazoid
Freakazoid is the title character of the mid-90s Kids WB animated series of the same name and a co-production between the crews that created Kids WB’s two more successful series Batman (Bruce Timm and Paul Dini) and Animaniacs (Tom Reugger and Steven Spielberg). Though its run was short, it proved to be a cult classic that still endures to this day, thanks to its mix of absurd humor and references to pop culture and (then) current events.
The title character is a wacky superhero who is the alter-ego of teenage nerd Dexter Douglas. While surfing the internet, Dexter has an accident (partly thanks to the high-tech chip he gets for Christmas and his cat walking on the keyboard) and whenever he says “Freak Out!” he transforms into the blue-skinned hero.
Clint Barton from Hawkeye
Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) is a main character in the new Marvel series, Hawkeye, streaming on Disney+. When the Avenger finds his murderous past as Ronin coming to haunt him, a trip to New York during Christmas turns into confronting old enemies. Reluctantly partnering up with Kate Bishop, another master archer, he plans to take down the tracksuit mafia once and for all. However, it’s all bigger than they imagined, for the head of the operation is revealed to be none other than Kingpin. The show introduced Clint’s deafness from the comic with a hearing aid.
Emperor Kuzco
Emperor Kuzco (voiced by David Spade) is the protagonist of the animated Disney film, Emperor’s New Groove and its television spin-off, The Emperor’s New School. Kuzco is the teenage emperor of the Inca Empire, but he pays no heed to the needs of others. Spoiled and vainglorious, he cares more about luxury than leadership. After a potion from Yzma turns him into a llama rather than causing his death, Kuzco realizes the error of his ways.

An overwhelming narcissist, Chris only cares about himself, and harbors little concern for the safety of the contestants.

Use the brown eyeshadow to create his five-o’clock shadow.
