this is the drum part
this is the olympic theme song

ThePeter sounds like a real puss for getting a lackey to do his dirty work.

7/27/2012 8:34:29 PM

It's a sporting event
Discussions about sporting events go in Sports Talk

7/27/2012 8:35:46 PM

we could also talk about the ceremonies and political type shit. i vote for chit chat! only sports snobs hang out in sports talk.

7/27/2012 8:36:56 PM

Shit yeah

I checked the sports talk thread and it wasn't active for the opening ceremony

The Queen looks pissed as fuck

from Miska I think:



Fuck these announcers

Smells like a puss, too.

7/27/2012 8:41:32 PM

upon review of the opening ceremonies, these Olympics are cancelled.

7/27/2012 8:42:32 PM

^lol

7/27/2012 8:43:03 PM

This might be the worst thing I have ever watched.

7/27/2012 8:48:21 PM

Haha this is awesome. I love Mr bean.

7/27/2012 8:50:02 PM

Omg that queen meme just made my day

7/27/2012 8:54:19 PM

7/27/2012 8:56:28 PM

7/27/2012 8:58:58 PM

Oh look, a parade of chavs

7/27/2012 8:59:16 PM

this shit is awful

7/27/2012 8:59:41 PM

Yes! Queen!

7/27/2012 9:02:51 PM

7/27/2012 9:02:55 PM

Annie's boobs got a spinoff?

7/27/2012 9:04:26 PM

Penn Holderness is pretty hot

7/27/2012 9:04:47 PM

this is incredibly boring, mr. bean notwithstanding

7/27/2012 9:05:56 PM

I would hate to watch this sober

7/27/2012 9:07:19 PM

lol the people covering this for NBC seem to not like it much either..

7/27/2012 9:07:46 PM

"i wonder why they didn't play smack my bitch up instead"

7/27/2012 9:08:16 PM

so no pink floyd or rod stewart, wtf mate?

7/27/2012 9:09:50 PM

No gordon ramsay?

Glad I ain't watch

7/27/2012 9:10:02 PM

Thought the same thing when I saw Prodigy!

7/27/2012 9:10:11 PM

^^^ precisely. No fucking Pink Floyd? Are you fucking serious?

Only a live performance of Dark Side of the Moon, with both Waters and Gilmour, could save this fucking awful piece of shit.

7/27/2012 9:12:17 PM

The olympics are old and played out.

7/27/2012 9:13:35 PM

i like it

7/27/2012 9:15:03 PM

No joss stone? NO slick Rick?

7/27/2012 9:15:10 PM

NO RICKY GERVAIS?!

7/27/2012 9:15:52 PM

its been okay,a little trite. whereas china was just a straight up display of power, this is just pretty much lets dance around and have fun. still better than vancouver though

7/27/2012 9:16:14 PM

The commentary on Facebook of the opening ceremonies is so much better than the actual ceremonies

7/27/2012 9:26:36 PM

This is interesting, the BBC broadcast talked about the individual flag carriers and other notable athletes...but this shitty NBC is just talking about the country history...or they just have radio silence, like the start of Armenia just now

7/27/2012 9:29:08 PM

Oh fuck how are they gonna skip an important country like Armenia

7/27/2012 9:31:05 PM

Can we skip to team usa getting gold.


Thanks and goodbye.

7/27/2012 9:32:44 PM

Meredith Vieira and Matt Lauer's contributions were so very insightful

7/27/2012 9:38:00 PM

this is awful

NBC apparently cut parts of the opening artistic presentation

there are a ton of commercials and stupid 2-minute interviews with Ryan Seacrest

and now they're speeding through countries coming in, being rude to a lot of them by casually mentioning how they're competing against "American gold-medal favorites" and stuff

fuck you, NBC

[Edited on July 27, 2012 at 9:41 PM. Reason : seriously, just play this uncut as you should]

7/27/2012 9:41:07 PM

The snide comment on the Bermuda uniforms was tasteless I thought.

Also, I would hate to be the largest country to never have won a medal.

7/27/2012 9:42:42 PM

yeah, these commentators are being dicks

7/27/2012 9:44:19 PM

As much as I realize no one really cares about the little countries, it's pretty shitty to not mention their flag bearers and whatnot.

7/27/2012 9:44:40 PM

thats how I feel too, this is an awful broadcast

They're acting like this is live too with skipping over countries when theyre just trying to fit in more commercials and keep everyones attention

[Edited on July 27, 2012 at 9:45 PM. Reason : all of these, fuck NBC]

7/27/2012 9:45:14 PM

These guys suck ass

7/27/2012 9:50:34 PM

Djibouti? LOL WHAT A FUNNY NAME

NEXT
