I guess we should have a thread. Opening ceremony due to start shortly.

 

[Diddy]

When’s it on, 8?

feeling a bit burned by the flop opening and closing ceremonies

Did they actually happen in the end?

 

[Madison]

When’s it on, 8?

12:00 BST (i.e. in 21 mins)

 

[Diddy]

Did they actually happen in the end?

they took place, I’d say it was debatable that anything happened though

 

[Christian]

The time difference didn't help but I don't remember seeing any footage and the coverage all of a sudden just appearing and launching into the usual early swimming events.

 

[Christian]

Though I did read that Nintendo and/or Mario pulled out of an appearance.

I feel like you were posting in the opening ceremony thread with me I was hassling you to subscribe to my channel

How awful of me, I think you're right!

 

[Christian]

 

[Diddy]

did you only just do that now?

 

[Diddy]

Well the emperor made it at least

it’s already looking a bit more interesting. This is what they should’ve done from the start, just projecting map the shit out of everything

 

[Christian]

did you only just do that now?

No!

 

[Madison]

Is the Empress still a recluse?

 

[Diddy]

Is the Empress still a recluse?

is she a recluse? I didn’t know that?

im sure she had better things to do than this

 

[Madison]

She should never have married into the family - she’s never been able to cope.

 

[Diddy]

Well I’m not gagged but it seems a bit more joyous Than the Olympic opening ceremony at least

and the logo is in colour too, what an extravagance

 

[Diddy]

Ok now I’m into this.

THIS IS WHAT WE NEEDED A MONTH AGO

RIP OFF EUROVISION 2019 IF YOU NEED TO

 

[Diddy]

Omg what a great idea, two flows of athletes so they can do it twice as quickly!

JESUS they really fucked the Olympics this year

I’m glad I’m watching this.

athletes names running along the banner instead of blank white.

hell, even the waving people are better, they have propellers!

 

[Diddy]

Ooh they don’t announce the countries in French?

 

[Diddy]

I guess they didn’t have the nerd power for more video game music, generic video game title screen music will have to do

 

[Peekaboo]

Ooh they don’t announce the countries in French?

Didn't you know, the Paralympics were invented in Britain so PAS DE FRANÇAIS MERCI BEAUCOUP.

 

[Diddy]

Oh and I love the little flourishes with the flag colours!

this ceremony is a serve (in comparison)

 

[Madison]

BOOOOO RPC

 

[Diddy]

Anyone else still there? Is this going to be one of those threads where I post 4x as many as the next person?

and I still have time to re-hem my curtains!

 

[rhythmbandit]

Ooh they don’t announce the countries in French?

French isn't the first recognised language of the International Paralympic Committee.

 

[Madison]

Ooh they don’t announce the countries in French?

French isn’t a Paralympic language.

 

[Diddy]

I wonder how they’re going to fill the time, it seems like they got into the parade earlier, I think it’s faster, and I’m sure there are fewer nations.

 

[Diddy]

I like that there’s a Costa Rican athlete called Steve Roman Chinchilla

 

[rhythmbandit]

French isn’t a Paralympic language.

It will be in 2022 because France.

 

[Madison]

It will be in 2022 because France.

Because China is famously francophone?

 

[Diddy]

Syria is Syrian Arab Republic?

 

[Diddy]

Enjoying the wide shots when they have a colourful flag to zoom everywhere

 

[rhythmbandit]

I like how they're naming all the athletes around the stadium.

 

[Diddy]

I like how they're naming all the athletes around the stadium.

yeah this ceremony hasn’t gagged yet but they have incrementally improved on about everything compared to the Olympics opening ceremony

 

[Diddy]

Btw how do you say Tanzania?!

I always thought it was Tan-Za-NEE-a, but the announcer called it Tan-ZAY-nee-a

 

[Diddy]

One of those Chinese was quite fit

if perchance I’m allowed to say that

 

[Diddy]

Oh one of those Germans was a HUNK OF SPUNK

JA BITTE

 

[Madison]

I must remember to cancel Discovery+.

 

[Diddy]

I like how they're naming all the athletes around the stadium.

I also liked it when there was only one athlete, it just had that guy’s name on a loop
