[El Sloth]

American audience are idiots

You're welcome.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Go bitch about it on Facebook.

ALREADY DID

(seriously though I know how shit works, we make stuff- you actually utilise it for huge effect. Doesn't mean embracing it as part of our culture is incorrect.)

 

[C.Dark.DN]

Peace sign? They gonna light some weed?

 

[RBH]

the girl with the fro is legit.

*fist bump*

 

[Alucard]

The fact that you can't connect with something doesn't mean it's shit.

 

[ColtraineGF]

Bohemian Rhapsody!

Also yes, I concur that fro girl is legit.

 

[Xun]

Not surprised many Americans hate the ceremony.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

British youth defined by American technologies.

the A-bomb affected everybody

 

[R2D4]

Why did they go from the internet generation to 30 year old music?

 

[JHall]

QUEEN FTW!!

 

[MThanded]

OK this part...

 

[Derrick01]

They're not going to play iron maiden are they?

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

Obviously people who practice safe sex with other reasonably healthy, attractive, adult people have no self control

also, this is certainly a thing that's happening

Wow, that was much more mature than what I was going to originally reply with.

 

[aceface]

Wayne's world! Ceremonies redeemed.

 

[Zabka]

WAYNE

 

[C.Dark.DN]

Holy shit, David Bowie part is awesome.

Why did they go from the internet generation to 30 year old music?

They dumb.

 

[tfur]

Which enables the internet. Essentially we wouldn't have the internet without his intervention.

We had the internet before his invention...

 

[ChoklitReign]

Brace yourselves, the New Wave era is next.

 

[MetatronM]

Are you fucking serious, NBC?

 

[Songbird]

Go bitch about it on Facebook.

I see you have no real response to that. Class act.

 

[tycoonheart]

That was all over the place.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Why did they go from the internet generation to 30 year old music?

they have crazy time over there

 

[B.K.]

They should just have Paul McCartney come out and sing for three or four hours. That would be a hundred times better than this crap.

 

[2MF]

Obviously people who practice safe sex with other reasonably healthy, attractive, adult people have no self control

Personally what I don't like is more the "what happens in the village stays in the village" thing. Well, that along with the claimed 70-75% percentage of athletes who have sex with others, I bet many of them are cheating on their current partners.

 

[ColtraineGF]

Oh, guess the 80's are coming up next-

*monkey*

why

 

[Vinegar Joe]

I don't really know what is going on...

But, the Song selection is Amazing.

I want this soundtrack.

This.

The whole technology section with the texting was a bit lame, but I appreciated it as a tribute to our amazing music heritage. Danny Boyle absolutely nailed the music choice here.

 

[braves01]

British rock is gud, but I didn't hear any Pink Floyd.

 

[woolley]

The fact that you can't connect with something doesn't mean it's shit.

Texting is so foreign to the American people. We will never understand such advancements.

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

WTF is this commercial with the monkey?

 

[Ohwiseone]

Bohemian Rhapsody and Waynes World, Nice save.


But, for some reason I really want more Branagh quoting tempest, looking badass.


Seriously Music is God-tier.

Fucking more Ads NBC.

 

[Plasmid]

So does it get any better or can i go smerk a berl?

 

[MThanded]

Animal practice... What a terrible looking show.

WTF is this commercial with the monkey?

Pure shite

 

[djplaeskool]

Holy shit, David Bowie part is awesome.

 

[TylerD]

Brace yourselves, the New Wave era is next.

Yes!!

 

[Trigger]

I need to go listen to the Beatles now.

 

[~Kinggi~]

They should have done a segment With Bowie as Tesla doing some electric shit, and then chronicled Britain's struggle with the Zombie Apocalypse

 

[everthustodeadbeats]

They cut to commercial during Pretty Vacant.

Jerks.

 

[outunderthestars]

They should just have Paul McCartney come out and sing for three or four hours. That would be a hundred times better than this crap.

Or just introduce the athletes and light the damn torch.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

That was definitely the TARDIS at the end of Bohemian Rhapsody.

Why did they go from the internet generation to 30 year old music?

It's a juxtaposition.

Two lovers who live in a tech world finding each other by travelling through the era's that have influenced our modern world.

 

[dkeane]

Did they just go to commercial in the middle of a music segment? WTF

 

[zero_suit]

They should just have Paul McCartney come out and sing for three or four hours. That would be a hundred times better than this crap.

Not really...

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

Which enables the internet. Essentially we wouldn't have the internet without his intervention.

What? Plenty of people were using the Internet before the Worldwide Web.

 

[Fari]

They should just have Paul McCartney come out and sing for three or four hours. That would be a hundred times better than this crap.

He sings at the end. He's fairly shite.

 

[shadyspace]

I see you have no real response to that. Class act.

Give me your iPhone.

 

[LiK]

Worst segment

 

[Enron]

TARDIS

Enron declares this the greatest opening ceremony....OF ALL TIME

 

[Hot Coldman]

Or just introduce the athletes and light the damn torch.

Do I have to post the Cylon image

 

[Awesome]

There is no such thing as safe sex, especially with strangers.

 

[Gregorn]

We had the internet before his invention...

"stop celebrating something your country did why don't you care about america during the london Olympics, we did the facebook"

^That's what you sound like.

 

[djplaeskool]

80s up next.
I feel some Dexys Midnight Runners coming.
