Tokyo 2020 - Closing Ceremony (Sun 16th August) (2 Viewers)

[Diddy]

Might as well get this rolling, I believe it’s starting in about 45 minutes.

DON’T FUCK IT UP AGAIN JAPAN

 

[Ellie]

Recreate Pokémon battles please, and not a bunch of American B-Listers singing crap cover songs.

 

[Diddy]

They have been rather lucky with the weather (apart from par-boiling the Nordics), Typhoon 10 just scooted off into the pacific, and typhoon… erm 9 isn’t due for a few days

 

[Diddy]

Oh I guess Arashi aren’t reforming then, two of them are doing commentary in the studio again, sadness is their eyes.

they’re going over the highlights for Japan now, weirdly starting with the king of gymnastics Uchimura immediately pancaking on day 1. Very hairy pits

 

[Diddy]

Ooh have to remember to Google Seto the swimmer, I think he was on my radar already

edit: oh he was the one who had an AFFAIR!

 

[Diddy]

Just me then? Bloody lurkers

this reminds me of my birthday forum rampage

 

[Soldi]

At least you’ll have a shot of winning POTW

 

[Diddy]

I think Tarty probably has that sewn up this week

 

[rhythmbandit]

Tomasz Schafernaker needs a haircut.

 

[Madison]

Say Nora Tokyo, Say Nora

 

[Diddy]

At least I can say I was there, between 6-7am this morning

 

[Diddy]

Are we live? We’re live!! Don’t say ファック or バガー

 

[Diddy]

Is this happening for you too, the highlights and bloopers?

bit harsh to include all the people fucking up

 

[Diddy]

Yeah enough of this, where are the lasers

 

[Diddy]

They really haven’t upped their fireworks game

 

[Diddy]

Oh the emperor didn’t bother this time, just send the evil looking brother

 

[Diddy]

Oh that’s nice, the guy with the potato ears

 

[Madison]

The Emperor still being mardy. [DELETED IN CASE DIDDY GETS ARRESTED]

 

[Diddy]

So what worked last time… well obviously we have to keep the slow-moving flag carrying bits

 

[Diddy]

The Emperor still being mardy. Fuck him.

That’s this evil brother with the moustache

 

[D5K]

Maybe I should have just waited for the highlights.

 

[GNL]

Omg it's their version of Chris Whitty.

Next flag pls.

 

[Diddy]

Maybe I should have just waited for the highlights.

*file not found*

 

[Diddy]

Omg it's their version of Chris Whitty.

Next flag pls.

yeah they’ve got like 200 flags to get through

 

[GNL]

Look at them MINCING.

 

[rhythmbandit]

With French being the first recognised language of the IOC I wonder how much of the Paris Olympics they'll get away with no translation.

 

[Diddy]

I mean so that seriously the first kimono we have seen?!
Actually not even sure if that’s a kimono at all

Ooh actually Koike, governor of Tokyo, is wearing a rather fetching blue one

 

[Diddy]

Lol this is a bit ungainly, just wandering out like Close Encounters

 

[Madison]

That’s this evil brother with the moustache

I know. The emperor is being mardy by not being here.

Don't make me commit lese-majeste.

 

[Diddy]

I thought the waving people were wearing T-shirts that looked like glamorous bikinis, but they’re people holding hands

 

[Diddy]

I know. The emperor is being mardy by not being here.

Don't make me commit lese-majeste.

did the Queen come for the closing?

 

[rhythmbandit]

This is going by quickly.

 

[rhythmbandit]

did the Queen come for the closing?

No, but Boris Johnson did.

 

[win_the_game]

Not really much of an athlete's flag parade when most of the flags seem to be carried by games volunteers

 

[Diddy]

This is going by quickly.

is it?
I’ll never forgive them for making all the flag bits the most boring bits

 

[Diddy]

Not really much of an athlete's flag parade when most of the flags seem to be carried by games volunteers

do they normally do that?
I remember them all being in the audience in the middle but I guess they won’t do that?

 

[Diddy]

This is like waiting for the rest of the class to catch up when you walk somewhere, but the line keeps getting broken up by traffic lights

 

[win_the_game]

do they normally do that?
I remember them all being in the audience in the middle but I guess they won’t do that?

I think it's a one off. Some of the countries probably don't have anyone left in Tokyo as they were required to go home after their event.

 

[rhythmbandit]

Boris wasn't at the closing ceremony in London, he was in Beijing though with the infamous flag bumbling.

Prince Harry represented the Queen in 2012.

 

[Diddy]

I’m intrigued by the podium in the middle, it looks like it’s not actually there, or is that just the lighting?
