This is the worst opening ceremony I’ve watched in a while. The Brits should be completely embarrassed, but they’re probably proud of this.
What was that??? A giant baby?? OMG
It was OK until the NHS crap came in. I would not be bragging about that, it would me like me bragging about an “F” I got on a spelling test in 6th grade.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Just weirdness. Why do the NBC hosts have to speak at all. Are we too stupid to understand the crap that we are watching??
I thought it was pretty cool up until the “Huzzah for socialism!” part.
It’s HORRIBLE. As if their country is all about Harry Potter and socialized medicine. Really that’s all UK history?
lol
Effing pathetic and boring to boot.
The Chinese put on an electrifying show. Sure they’re inhumane but they did it up.
I wholly second that. What in the world has happened to the British? This farce just seals the image of the decline of Brittanica. It sucks something awful.
The tribute to the NHS in an Olympic ceremony was just weird, I thought. Sure, China is an oppressive country, and the people probably were forced to perform and practice relentlessly, but their opening ceremony was one of the best and most visually stunning things I’ve seen.
