Paris 2024 - Day 16 and Closing Ceremony (Sun 11 Aug)

[Suedehead]

Now this is how to do a LSFYL

 

[PercyPig]

This is stunning.

Imagine what the opening could have been

 

[AGinAg (37)]

NO NEED FOR THE OPERA THOUGH

UNCULTURED GAY

 

[Madison]

They are so bad at this. Who wants this? Who enjoyed that? Why was it three times as long as it needed to be?

 

[Suedehead]

Ok cute pianist

 

[PercyPig]

I’m obsessed with all the ASS on display and I’ve just watched the Olympics for 2 weeks straight

 

[Jark]

christ this opera is maudlin.

why is the staging of this ceremony so awful? it's so BORING!

 

[Kate]

@Man in a Hamster Wheel also getting a cameo I see

 

[Ellie]

I’m going to need some famous people pretty soon.

 

[win_the_game]

You can tell it was a THEATRE QUEEN with GRANDES PRÉTENTIONS who produced this.

 

[Kate]

I'd settle for one of @Soldi's ASFM entries at this point

 

[Madison]

This is far too long. I really can’t understand this at all.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

SO LONG

 

[Madison]

WE KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING - DO IT ALREADY

 

[AGinAg (37)]

SO LONG

SEE YA HONEY

 

[Madison]

We’ve literally just had a week of gymnastics - we don’t need to see gimps doing the same.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

@Dark Carnival we're going to need some on screen apologies

 

[PercyPig]

Gymnasts watching this going “piece off piss mate”

 

[Suedehead]

Ok I’m bored now jeez

 

[Madison]

This is worse than Junior Eurovision.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Oh wow I did not see that coming

 

[Madison]

Wait - the rings don’t even do anything!

 

[Suedehead]

YES FIVE RINGS WE GET IT

 

[GNL]

OH, IT'S A DONKEY

 

[GNL]

Faster, higher, stronger, together

Oh, are they finally bringing out Daft Punk?

 

[Suedehead]

Do we not even get them colour coded
Ok
Insert man blinking gif here

 

[Slave]

It feels a bit mean to criticise it in the moment, but in years to come (i.e., from tomorrow) these Olympics deserve to be remembered as being bookended by two of the SHITTEST ceremonies ever.

 

[Soldi]

I'd settle for one of @Soldi's ASFM entries at this point

Shall we?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

It feels a bit mean to criticise it in the moment,

HOW ELSE WOULD WE PASS THE TIME?

 

[Lucille]

Why the montage of FAILURES?

 

[Soldi]

I can’t tell if the LA ceremonies are going to be better or worse.

 

[GNL]

Where is the montage of BULGE?

 

[Finn]

UNCULTURED GAY

It's JUST NOISE

 

[PercyPig]

Some Rhythmic Gymnastics

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I can’t tell if the LA ceremonies are going to be better or worse.

Oh it's going to be TACKY

 

[Soldi]

Omg they included the Tahiti whale

 

[GNL]

I can’t tell if the LA ceremonies are going to be better or worse.

Well I doubt they'll have opera or interpretive dance. Maybe a nice monster truck rally.

 

[Soldi]

Oh it's going to be TACKY

Yes but if Kamala is president it will be BRAT (is that how it works?)

 

[Ellie]

Oh it's going to be TACKY

BRING IT ON

 

[Suedehead]

Ceremonies aside I LOVED watching the Olympics this year and I think they did a great job
