It’s that time again, half CCP propaganda half wild culture party with vaudeville esque comedy sketches this time with men in creepily lifelike Elephant Suits.

Behold the 2022 CCTV Chinese New Year Gala LIVE in all ifs Glory!

 

[Lunarorbit]

So is this a weird Chinese variety hour for new years? Plus where's the elephant man?!

All I got was couples arguing on a couch

YES! If you start from the beginning the elephant suit men are there it’s like the second act I think. Re people arguing on the couch that’s basically sketch comedy.

Start the CCTV Chinese New year Gala Bingo list.

Racial insensitivity
Comedy skits where the common working man comes out on top
Tier One City montage
Kids dancing dressed as bees or butterfly's
Jackie Chan singing
Chinese Astronaut, although this year it's more likely to be an Olympic athlete
Chinese multi-chinese ethnic montage in traditional dress
Amazing dance performances
Amazing martial arts adjacent performance.
"Hey it's that guy from that Chinese movie that's great" (Sorry Simu Lui, not you Chang Shi got cancelled in China)

Greatest TV stage show in the world. No other country can afford to make this level of investment in one show.

You've got Chinese Manfred Mann instead.

20 minutes after midnight it starts raining hard here, great timing. Now I can sleep without hearing any more fireworks until 6am.

 

[RoyalLaFlame]

Fuck, I didn’t eatch the gala this year. Was together with some friends getting wasted. Anyway, happy new year to all chinese friends!

 

[Mistake]

Mass graves! In space

 

[nush]

Ha, another win. It started raining again hard at 6am so no firecrackers to wake me up.

Don't worry you can watch it today. They have it on constant repeat during the whole holiday.

Got to use the medieval Chinese setting on Stellarium. Think I get a little better idea of what's going on with this calendar.

I have no clue what’s going on there but I did learn the Network of Dykes isn’t too far from the Celestial Cock.

Low scores on the bingo card so far this year.

1000% more children performing dangerous neck breaking stunts in cute rabbit outfits though.

They've had this same cube raising stage and virtual stage extension since about 2013. Time to upgrade to 2023 tech now, each year, same as the last.

2 hours in, surprising lack of #Chinanumaone content.

Let's hope nush doenst jaywalk

Oh shit! We're live!

 

[nush]

3 hours in, still no China winning montage with drone footage of major cities. Why could that be?

 

[nush]

Yo, we got Jackie Chan singing!

Closest we’ve gotten to blackface….Happy Chinese New Year Y’all!

 

[MrMephistoX]

Rise from your grave thread! It’s almost time to party with the CCP.

Are the London piano little pinks going to have their segment shown?

Show starts in about 40 minutes from this post.

Time will tell but it’s definitely time to get your black face bingo cards ready. lol my wife forced me to upgrade to YouTube premium the amount of ads is fucking annoying and intrusive this year. But hey 4K is new!?

 

[nush]

That milk product placement.

 

[MrMephistoX]

That milk product placement.

Awkward product placement definitely deserves a spot on the Bingo card along with cultural appropriation and clapping like your life depends on it over basic ass card tricks.

 

[nush]

Bad CG panda!

I just about fucking died and my kid couldn’t stop laughing.

 

[nush]

Is this the skit where " The common man comes out ontop though hard work and being smart" propaganda?

Product placement really is off the scale this year. Post pandemic China really is in economic difficulty, CCP can't afford to bankroll this gala alone this year.

Surprised I didn’t see that random RIO Beverage that’s in like every Chinese drama ever now. Spitting the latest Chinese cell phone tech in the skits is always fun too.

For a really fun game go back to the early MCU movies and spot all the Chinese product placement in them, even before people caught on they were pandering to China.
