Gavin and Stacey fans make hilarious point after watching Beyoncé’s NFL performance

The finale of the British sitcom had something in common with Beyoncé's NFL halftime performance

Just like that, Christmas is over - and while we're already grieving the festivities, we have two amazing pieces of television to cherish.

After an excruciating six year wait, the beloved British sitcom Gavin and Stacey delivered the much anticipated final instalment.

Alongside that, Beyoncé performed at the NFL halftime show, broadcast by Netflix.

The epic sports event saw games between Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers, as well as the Ravens vs. Texans.

For those who are less bothered about sports and more bothered about Queen Bey (fair play), fans watched the superstar take the stage to perform hits including likes of '16 Carriages', 'Jolene' and 'Texas Hold 'Em', and 'Blackbiird' from her album Cowboy Carter, while wearing a bejewelled bodysuit with a diamonte belt and a statement cowboy hat.

The two events had something surprising in common - both featured the song 'Blackbird'.

And while global megastar Beyoncé, 43, absolutely smashed her rendition at the NRG Arena out of the park, people piled on the praise for 'Baby' Neil's cover in Gavin and Stacey.

The cover was performed by Neil in highly emotional scenes that showed his dad, Smithy, realising he was in love with Nessa, and wanted to marry her.

One person replied to a clip of Beyoncé singing 'Blackbiird' on X: "Neil the Baby did it better #GavinAndStacey", with a yawn emoji.

Another joked: "Really feel for Neil the Baby. Smashes his ‘Blackbird’ performance but isn’t invited on the bus to see his mum and dad finally get together. Socialising at a wedding is hard enough for a 16 year old. #gavinandstacey."

A third said: "What an instant classic of a finale: 95 mins of unforgettable TV. The acting, the writing, the directing (by Christine Gernon who made every episode), the surprises, the fishing trip, the emotion, the jokes, the music, Blackbird! Talk about sticking the landing… #GavinAndStacey."

A fourth added: "Neil the Baby singing Blackbird so beautifully... Sniff. 🥹 Brilliant finale #GavinAndStacey."

People just couldn't get enough of the moment, with yet another viewer gushing: "Mick’s speech at the stag, saying he made their lives full,Smithy’s lightbulb moment when Neil the baby was singing Blackbird (beautifully) Smithy wanting Mick’s approval. Nessa showing her soft side. And Bryn just being Bryn. Incredible writing, brilliantly acted #GavinAndStacey."

Looks like Beyoncé has some stiff competition - though we can't see Neil performing at a halftime show any time soon.
