I should also note that I've generally been of the opinion they are mediocre singers...
I thought that's why they invented the term "entertainer".
Actually, that makes a lot more sense to me and clears things up.
I wasn't familiar with the Black Eyed Peas. I've heard a couple of their stupid songs on the radio, but I didn't really know who they were or what they did.
The half time show was the first time I've seen them live...
I was all, wtf is the point of these four people being up there? They're not playing instruments, only two of them are singing. What's up with all four of them up there in goofy clothes dancing around?
What, exaxtly, are they supposed to be doing? What do you call that?
I see now... they were simply "entertaining".

They're producers, for the most part,
Okay, that makes sense.
which means their "instrument" is a recording studio.
I don't have a problem with that. I like industrial music.
I dunno, you can have differing ideas about the amount of talent and training necessary to be a "good" producer, but regardless that's not a set of skills that lends itself to live performance.
You're right that having the BEP on stage (or in a video) is pretty stupid.
Well yeah. During the show I'm thinking, "what the hell is that guy even doing on the stage? Just standing there with some stupid clothes on? Wow, what a show "
I was asking my friends if maybe he wrote the song or something? As in, what is his job as a member of this group? Nobody really knew.
But I guess as producers and/or entertainers there's some work there for him to do. The point in having him on the stage is still beyond me.

I thought it was fucking retarded.
Seriously, all I could think was "What the hell are those other two dudes even doing on the stage? They aren't doing anything!? Why are they even in the "band"?"
Although, I can appreciate some trippy lights and dancing around n'shit...
Oh yeah, what's up with half the show not even being their songs? Or shit they had to sample...
They just seemed really pathetic all around.
