Tokyo 2020 - Closing Ceremony (Sun 16th August)

[GNL]

Someone should yeet the US flag into the Olympic flame for shits and giggles.

 

[Ellie]

Quite enjoying Andrew Cotter's flag chat.

 

[Diddy]

We did literally do this 20 minutes ago didn’t we?!

 

[D5K]

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

Flag hater

 

[Diddy]

Fucking hell

yeah let’s welcome the athletes, plodding slowly in to samba music in the darkness, all clutching smartphones

 

[Diddy]

Flag hater

No I love them! That’s why it’s so annoying!

 

[GNL]

Fucking hell

yeah let’s welcome the athletes, plodding slowly in to samba music in the darkness, all clutching smartphones

I hope the monkey from Samba di Amigo is performing.

Vexillology.

The more you know.

 

[Diddy]

Feel like this is going to be a load of boring SHIT

 

[Madíson]

I apologise to His Imperial Majesty for my criticisim above.

 

[Diddy]

If there’s not at least one ASFM entry I’ll be fumming

 

[win_the_game]

No I love them! That’s why it’s so annoying!

Not every flag parade can have the drama and excitement of ASFM.

 

[Diddy]

There’s people on the pitch! They’re wishing it was all over!

it isn’t

 

[Diddy]

I’m sure I have enough time to brush my teeth

 

[rhythmbandit]

Have all the athletes coming out tonight all recently completed their events in the last 48hrs then? Seems like loads.

 

[Diddy]

The Japanese are coming in, hopefully that means they’re almost done

 

[Diddy]

Mind you they all live here so they’re probably all coming

 

[Diddy]

If world music wasn’t bad enough, mushing it al together is even WORSE!

just put on the Final Fantasy victory music

 

[Diddy]

Someone dashed onto the big podium in the middle, get it together you arses

 

[Diddy]

Ooh did I just see that fit Japanese climber?

 

[GNL]

Omg Canada's uniform looks like something from an early Alanis video.

 

[rhythmbandit]

Ed Clancy still there.

 

[rhythmbandit]

That's quite nice.

 

[Madíson]

Boo CGI.

 

[Diddy]

Well finally they can spunk a bit of CGI, about TIME!

 

[Madíson]

BOOOO

 

[win_the_game]

Not SKA MUSIC. Please no.

 

[Diddy]

Sorry I didn’t warn you that Ska is inexplicably popular in Japan

 

[Diddy]

Boo CGI.

I am inclined to agree, but I’ll take what I can get from these half arsed production teams

 

[rhythmbandit]

Is this what Japanese people get up to in parks now or in 1991?

 

[Diddy]

Is this reggae now? They really fucking hate me

 

[win_the_game]

How many athletes are currently thinking “I stayed on in Tokyo for THIS”?

 

[Diddy]

Oops, it’s just been suddenly SHUNTED to channel 2 because typhoon 9 is hitting the south west.

this time there’s a sign language guy looking bored

 

[Diddy]

I wondered if this is a history of Japanese pop but I think they’re getting earlier :/

 

[D5K]

How many athletes are currently thinking “I stayed on in Tokyo for THIS”?

To be fair it was the same in London.

 

[Diddy]

Anime covers now?

 

[Diddy]

I thought that was going into Pokémon there but no

 

[Diddy]

What a fucking mess that stage is now

 

[GNL]

To be fair it was the same in London.

We gave the world Spice Girls, some boxes moving to Kate Bush and Annie Lennox on a GHOST SHIP. How dare you?

 

[Diddy]

God even the Japanese athletes looking bored as shit

and no I don’t know who any of these are
