    There were many things I didn't understand at the Super Bowl this year—first and foremost, I've never quite grasped the rules of football—but I could never, and will never, understand why Jason Momoa's Rocket Mortgage commercial had to happen to me. While Momoa maintained on Instagram that he had the "time of his life" during the filming of the commercial, I...don't know that my own life will bounce back from this.

    Here's the full commercial:

    I...I just didn't think that Jason Momoa taking his shirt off could ever leave me feeling unsettled and creeped out to my core, but here we are.

    First, Momoa removed his arms.

    Then, he just went ahead and took off his torso.

    The only thing I think about the #SuperBowl so far is I feel personally attacked by the Jason Momoa ad.February 3, 2020

    Watching Jason Momoa take his muscles off tonight was the most traumatizing thing that’s ever happened to me #SuperBowl2020February 3, 2020

    Okay. Yeah. If you'll excuse me, I'm off to have some nightmares now. Thanks. Thanks, I hate it.
