Tokyo 2020 - Day 0 - The Opening Ceremony (Fri 23 July)

[ZenGiraffe]

I'm hoping the energy picks up a bit after this bit. It's not exactly started with a bang

 

[Diddy]

Just having a moment of WTF are we all doing with this sort of thing

 

[Diddy]

I'm hoping the energy picks up a bit after this bit. It's not exactly started with a bang

they’re just planting the SEED
It came out of that young man’s arse, remember?

hopefully it’ll be a piranha plant

 

[Diddy]

Beautiful gown

the national anthem needs a donk in it

 

[Diddy]

Oh who IS that, she looks familiar

 

[win_the_game]

That is quite the frock.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

It's a toot from me

 

[Madison]

WOOP
In memoriam section

 

[Diddy]

Oh good grief

let’s hope they’re just getting this out of the way, and it’s not going to be a ESC Shine a light

 

[Diddy]

Is this a zombie?

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Good lord, what were the producers thinking about this pacing?

 

[Madison]

I think letting the dead compete is completely unfair.

 

[win_the_game]

Dusty corpse isn’t doing it for me. I guess they had to acknowledge Covid but it’s been too sombre thus far.

 

[Diddy]

Ok this should be something

 

[Diddy]

well at least the director has already been sacked

 

[Diddy]

Oh well you know how I love music made from everyday items

 

[Diddy]

Oh it’s a Mount Fuji at the back, is it?

This would be awkward time for the real one to finally erupt, wouldn’t it

 

[ZenGiraffe]

At least hit the nail!

 

[Diddy]

Wow look at that incredible tap dancing

 

[win_the_game]

From what I can see, the general reaction on social media so far is that the organiser’s have spectacularly misjudged the mood.

 

[Diddy]

They’re not even MAKING anything. I’m losing my patience HARD

 

[Diddy]

3 types of artistic performance I hate the most: Stomp-type racket, tap dance, and street dance. I suspect the third one is coming

 

[Diddy]

I don’t think that’s traditional Japanese dancing, theyre vogueing

 

[Diddy]

The rings have just made me realise what a monochromatic perf it’s been so far

 

[ZenGiraffe]

How are they only at three rings so far? Good lord, PICK UP THE PACE

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Oh I see, nevermind

 

[Madison]

Finally the economists of the world are represented.

 

[Diddy]

Is that the Kadiatou from MF?

 

[Madison]

I feel bad - I’d always assumed it was a Greek name, but turns out it’s Malian.

 

[Diddy]

Why have I never seen this award before?

 

[Diddy]

Was London 2012’s opening all killer no filler?

I remember it made me proud to be British, can you imagine?

 

[Diddy]

Oh shit, flag parade already?! Let’s hope they’ve got something exciting after that

 

[Ellie]

Was London 2012’s opening all killer no filler?

I remember it made me proud to be British, can you imagine?

Exactly. This could be livened up with some Nintendo characters parachuting from a helicopter.

 

[Diddy]

Is that the Dragon Quest music? WTFFFF

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Was London 2012’s opening all killer no filler?

I remember it made me proud to be British, can you imagine?

I think it was the last time for me, things really went to shit after that.

 

[BoysForSeles]

Oh this bit has started sooner than I expected.

 

[Diddy]

Hope they do To Zanarkand next, then a Kingdom hearts medley

 

[win_the_game]

Even the athlete’s parade is like a funeral procession.

 

[Ellie]

Can they just recreate a round of Mario Kart in the stadium?

 

[Diddy]

Is that the final fantasy victory theme? Omg

@COB better be watching
