NBC still on Russia lol.

They probably still have like 1.5 hours left to go.

 

[jett]

Maybe Anthony Howe designed the torch

Apparently so.

 

[Volimar]

Cute Ruskies. Glad that not all athletes were punished for the actions of others.

 

[Chuckl3s]

Wow! That Samsung commercial!

 

[dani_dc]

I mean, WOW

Looks straight out of an action movie.

 

[TriForce Hero]

This is the True brazilian "gambiarra".

Doing more with less. Finaly I can say I'm proud

 

[RedAssedApe]

I mean, WOW

[JHoNNy1OoO]

NBC is such a clusterfuck. The entire world watches the Olympics LIVE except in the US. Can't believe it.

 

[Kjellson]

I wish the Olympics was held in my country so I also could be proud.

pretty cool to se this kid with the torch at Candelaria, he's so happy. they're showing it on SporTV.

 

[Volimar]

I'm already pre tearing up in anticipation of the refugees.

 

[Bold One]

Beijing will most likely never be topped. Tokyo might come close, though.

London >>>>Beijing

no cgi fireworks

 

[LumpOfCole]

I mean, WOW

And Frank Ocean hasn't even dropped his new album yet.

 

[yanipheonu]

So Oily Man is going to be a thing on twitter soon enough.

Jim Gaffigan always looks shocked to be in a commercial.

 

[Quonny]

IIRC you can watch every event live on their website or through the app as long as you have a cable subscription, PS Vue, or Sling TV.

 

[Kadin]

These commercials every 5 mins are incredibly frustrating.

 

[Zero²]

It was real neat, I'm really proud.

And now the people's torch is being lit.

Yeah I'm proud too, even if I think they focused a bit on Rio when it could have focused a bit more on Brazil as a whole. But well that's ok, guess a more focused show is better than the clusterfuck that was the Soccer World Cup opening show haha.

People's torch was a amazing idea too!

Oh really... guess I'll have to go that route. Thanks for the info.

 

[Bubblicious]

I thought it was an amazing ceremony. Not as over the top as Beijing but it was bright, colourful and fun like you'd expect from Brazil/Rio so well done! The cauldron was the highlight for me. Brilliant design and nice on the sustainability part. The environmental message was also a great aspect.

Off course lots of hot athletes 😍 but that Tongan Flag bearer tho...

Edit: I think I'll be watching taekwondo for these games 😉

 

[Kjellson]

Tonga is trending on Twitter. Heh. Not surprising at all.

 

[Aruarian Reflection]

Hong Kong flag bearer =O

 

[Brazil]

What does that mean?

Basically "First of all, down with Temer", in reference to our current acting President.

People watching the Olympics will eventually come to terms with the fact that Brazil's politics are a mess right now. Expect protests all the time, haha.

 

[RoKKeR]

Nvm

 

[MMarston]

NBC still on Russia lol.

Now you know what Matthew McConaghuey's character must've felt like in Interstellar.

 

[DD]

Fernando Meirelles, one of the directors of the ceremony (and the director of City of God [go watch it of you haven't yet]) said in his twitter account that Bolsonaro (a far right wing bastard Brazilian politician) and Trump would hate the cerimony. "At least on that we got it right", he said. <3

 

[Aruarian Reflection]

London >>>>Beijing

no cgi fireworks

Beijing is the GOAT forever. Can't imagine that ever being topped

 

[Volimar]

We got Tonga. These ladies are swooning on nbc.

 

[hoos30]

NBC did show the Tonga guy. Expect baby oil sales to shoot through the roof.

 

[leaf_]

I'm so proud of seeing my money being burned on live tv it's going to be hard to sleep for sure.

 

[hoos30]

I'm so proud of seeing my money being burned on live tv it's going to be hard to sleep for sure.

Better you than me. You'll always have memories of tonight.

 

[Subaru]

I must say that Lea T (Toninho Cerezo's daughter and transexual supermodel) was on the bike with the brazilian delegation.

Also, there was some efeminate gays and a transexual woman on the bikes for other delegations. I loved it! <3

 

[Peterthumpa]

I'm so proud of seeing my money being burned on live tv it's going to be hard to sleep for sure.

You've been sleeping well for years while your money was burned by politicians traveling overseas buying lots of stupid shit just because.

You'll be fine.

I really loved that movie.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

NBC on Uganda: "All their medal hopes rest on ONE athlete."

Way to shit on the other 20 Ugandans.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

I could make a mint selling water to my Twitter timeline right now. The thirst is real.

 

[Hyllian]

 

[Mestizo]

I lol'd hard

 

[perfectchaos007]

This ceremony taught me that Brazilians think one of their guys was first in flight. Lmao. Team Wright Brothers
