There's so much to be thankful for, but according to some viewers, Jimmy Fallon's performance at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade might not be one of them...
Basically, everything that could go wrong, did.
From deflating balloons to cameras panning away from these fails to a lot of bad lip-syncing.
Like how the parade balloons — a staple of the Thanksgiving tradition — were almost canceled due to the weather.
This includes everything from Pikachu to Snoopy to Broadway-themed balloons.
Just take a look at what happened to poor Barney during the 1997 Thanksgiving parade. Imagine the horror of trying to explain this to your kid!
People were understandably upset that the cameras didn't show this happening.
C'mon, NBC! Give the people what they want!!!
We all love to see Pikachu and Snoopy, but maybe this careening at our television screens is a bit of a nightmare.
It was just disaster after disaster.
The host of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon was joined by his house band The Roots on the floating stage to perform the song "The Bird is the Word."
And, according to those on Twitter, not doing a very good job of it, either.
One person even went so far as to say that Jimmy's performance ruined their Thanksgiving! Yikes!
"I just had to watch jimmy fallon lip sync in the macy’s thanksgiving day parade and it ruined my whole [expletive] day."
They wrote:
"Jimmy Fallon’s Lip Sync Rating: 0/10.... dude you [expletive] INVENTED Lip Synch Battle.... what the hell man."
"Uhhhhhh is Lea Michele lip-syncing her song???? I hear her vocals sing BEFORE she even raised her microphone," tweeted someone else.
"THEN WHY BOTHER SINGING IN THE PARADE," added another.
"Rita Ora missing her cue for the lip sync and forcing the camera crew to only use wide shots is the highlight of the parade for me," wrote a user.
John Legend even confirmed this last year when he defended Ora after she was slammed for her lackluster performance.
“Fun fact. We all have to lip sync on this parade because the floats don’t have the capacity to handle the sound requirements for a live performance."
The man danced with a turkey for crying out loud!
Talk about next-level iconic.
You know, like Al Roker yelling "Get outta here, ya butter!" at a grown man dressed like a butter stick and following it up with "I can't believe it's not butter."
To be fair, she did a pretty good job, up until she started cracking herself up by trying to pronounce "Kakarot."
I don't know about you, but if a giant inflatable Joe Jonas knocked down a marching band member, I wouldn't need to read another headline until 2020.
I would be set on all the news I needed.
We hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving!
