This completely makes up for not seeing the actual parade. My only complaint was how there were dozens of cameras filming the parade but you still couldn't see the faces of the Yancy Street Dancers. Oh, well... maybe next year.
More fun than the actual parade, if you ask me! That was quite a kaleidoscope of in-jokes. I know I only got about half the references, but I chuckled at the ones I did get!
The Decepticons' fake iPod float wasn't as bad as the Martians' TriPod entry....
