This was by far the best OC of any sporting event ever known.
>that countdown
>that underworld soundtrack
>that forging of the rings
>that choreography
>that queen entrance
>that torch lighting
Only flaw was the shitty Beckham faggotry.
I honestly don't think I'll enjoy an Olympiad as much as I did London. Might watch the bluray box set again tonight.

lol are you like 60 years old or something?
Beijing was better
59, Aquafresh.
Beijing shits all over any other opening ceremony tbf
You're exactly right.
Russia tried to out-do us and this happened.
Fucking KEK
>American flag
Can't say I'm surprised, you guys can't seem to get that chink dick out your arses.
>CGI fireworks
>slave labour
>no charisma
>no humour
>no narrative
Nah, lad. It was glorified Beyonce concert. No surprise that Yanks lap this shit up when your sports are nothing but sideshow for film trailers, fizzy pop adverts and Coldplay songs
ahahah. best description about american sports i've ever read.
I thought the Sochi OC and CC were preddy gud desu. Not as good as London, but worth watching nonetheless.
agreed
had artistic stuff
had funny as hell stuff when Rowan Atkinson did his thing
can't think of a better one
hey don't lump us all in with that gook immigrant shilling for his homeland
london was good but if someone nuked that stadium mid-ceremony the overall quality of music in the UK would improve tenfold
London had faggy Harry Potter shit
Beijing had dem drums
I liked it apart from all the multi-cultist shit
>no mention of Abide With Me
That girl was a qt though.
Fuck off already
>that NHS bit
Beijing was based as fuck, and also the best event to watch on Sup Forums since the board came back
>you will never see the galactic chimpout of Phelps winning by .01 seconds again
SOME
>america literally put ads on instead
It was pure cringe, fuck off
Only Britfaggots liked it to be completely honest.
Disgusting piece of self adulation MUH EMPIRE
MUH BOND MUH WE STILL RELEVANT
D I S G U S T I N G
The industrial revolution bit at the start made me tear up a bit, really beautifully done.
let's remember the reality
>German """history""" literally consists of various moustached men declaring themselves Emperors (of fuck all territory) and then a bit of genocide
>Britain
>White
Pick one my friends
...
Who /kenneth/ here?
...
so tolerant
Bejing > your bullshit nigger ceremony
>he enjoys watching Opening and Closing ceremonies
how does it feel to have a vagina between your legs you cucks?
>this parisian arsehurt
How does it feel to have a head that's flat at the back?
Funny how only Brits and CommonwealthWORMS say they liked it, rest of the world was just embarrassed kek
>Latvian opening ceremony
>just some old bloke plucking strings on a board for two hours
>the british empire isn't the world
Meanwhile the German Empire consists of a small sausage factory in Tanganiki
>being this butthurt
It was a shit ceremony, get over it Nigel.
>now you remember why germany doesn't get the olympics anymore
saltier than an anchovy's cunt
>being that mad it wasn't in Paris
>applauded and praised the world over
>shit-breath cowardly frog upset cos paris lost says otherwise
That's only because 3/4 of the money spent went to bribes.
The details of this shit was crazy, especially that airport stuff
>Britfuck will literally defends this
well if you liked your multicultral propaganda ceremony, it's ok for you :^)
I've said it before and I'll say it again, London has forever ruined the Olympics. It was too good and nothing will ever live up to it.
Do you not remember all the literal cuckoldry OP? The white woman gets impregnated by the black man, they have a daughter, then her boyfriend is an even BLACKER man.
Then the fact in the industrial revolution segment the factory owners were black and the workers were white which I thought was a bit historically inaccurate. Basically everyone was white back then. Owners and workers.
Maybe I'm uncultured or something but that just seemed like some really boring dancing with some really shitty singing of a song with practically no melody.
>2012 was 4 years ago
>literally cannot remember a damn thing
Don't worry, the rest of the world thinks otherwise, Flan.
Really interesting stuff though, prior with Germany apparently knowing about the plans weeks beforehand and doing nothing about it; and afterwards with Mossad going ape shit.
Kek, watch this shit now
youtube.com
>Brits will literallt defends this
>frogs
>moaning about multiculturalism
Kek
It was amazing, best opening ceremony ever and I can't see it ever being topped in the future.
But that's your country's greatest achievement m8
>incompetent german snipers
Guderian would be so disappointed
>multicultral propaganda
Isnt' that what you try and call your national team?
>>American flag
America's coverage was so butchered their views can't be trusted. Loads of them were literally begging for BBC streams. pls see this picture that was made at the time.
I ain't a fan of Dizzee, but he helped bring a more mainstream version of grime to the general public, and now Stormzy, Skepta and Co. are huge.
Hell, Drake is signed to Boy Better Know.
All France could provide out of their huge catalogue (no sarcasm) was David button pushing Guetta, for both events, top lel.
We all know Paris/France would get similar treatment if they were to host it.
>letting a rapper performing for a fucking ceremony
Very embarassing
Exactly and I wouldn't say "WAS FUCKING GREAT" like you delusional Brits say.
Bejing were much better.
So you're saying it was bad because of black people.
FFS. neck yerself
>>letting a rapper performing for a fucking ceremony
He's a well known resident and musical artist of London. It was the London Olympics.
This. I'm dead inside but I watched it a few weeks ago and was crying my eyes out.
>dat Kenneth Branagh
>dat soundtrack
What would you prefer, some boring pop slag from a reality TV show miming to a backing track?
Or this far superior button pushing madness:
It was honestly one of the absolute worst opening ceremonies that I have ever seen.
>le mixracing :-)
>le multiculturalism :PP
>le NHS :))
JUST: The Ceremony.
Don't bother. Deluded Britcucks will never fess up.
Can't we all just after that the Industrial revolution , NHS ,James Bond and Mr.bean bit were goat and the rest was shit
If think we can all agree the race mixing shit ruined the laster sections
I want Sup Forums to leave
>celebration of tolerancy
>best olympics
Nah, eurocuck tier desu.
It had its moments but overall was average (there have been far, far worse and cringy opening ceremonies over the years). The Games themselves were very good though. Many happy memories.
This is full on delusion
Only good bit was the EastEnders intro and they cut it to barely a second
Beijing and Barcelona in recent memory
Let us not forget Ed Sheeran's wank cover of Wish You Were Here
Spice Girls were mint tho
>spice girls
Was that not the closing ceremony?
Difference between Russian and British engineering.
Says the only country ever to lose two world wars. Speak when spoken to.
Atlanta was great
>that underworld soundtrack
shit did they play born slippy?
What about fuckin Nikki Webster
Nah but it is really great. Another collaboration with Danny Boyle as well.
I've watched every Olympics since 96. None of them came close to London. It was near perfection.
>spectacular opening ceremony
>host city fully embraced the games with 10s of thousands of volunteers
>stadiums packed with passionate fans
>BY FAR the best tv coverage of any games
>many dramatic moments
>some of the best athletes of all time competing
>great succecss for the athletes of the home nation
>the host city not financially ruined
>legacy cemented
We will never see anything like it again.
Rio is a guaranteed clusterfuck
Japan is too unrelatable to the rest of the world
That's the next two failing to match London already
Even the shitposters agree
>"It is one thing for the British to thrash Australia in the medals table of the London Olympics. But now the Games are over, it is just as clear they have knocked Sydney off its pedestal as the best host of a modern Olympic Games. As awful as it is to admit, London 2012 was bigger, slicker, almost as friendly and more thoughtfully planned than Sydney in terms of the legacy it will leave the host city... It is, I'm afraid to say, bronze for Barcelona, silver for Sydney, and gold for London."
Does anyone have the scene shot of all the posters saying how GOAT is was at the time
Those Olympics were so GOAT as well for a britfag. All those gold medals. Should really get the DVD or something. Anyone recommend anything?
>Spectacular opening ceremony
>social media blur of fuckery
Yeah no, that shit was retarded
All I remember is thread after thread laughing at how shit the opening ceremony was, genuinely deluded if you think it was good
The Olympics themselves were great but not the opening ceremony
No I don't
Fuck off trip fag everyone loved it and was saying how GOAT it was and how much better it was then bej
Your deluded
>an american trip fag
dropped.
Any compliment paid to a country that isn't the US is taken as a direct attack on their country by almost all Americans.
That speech from The Tempest gave me chills, desu
You fags are new if you think that's what happened, even most Brits thought the opening ceremony was shit
Everything on Sup Forums is shit, every big and fast moving thread is full of shitposting women moaning.
It was cringeworthy as fuck and was clearly pushing some weird leftist agenda
The games themselves were GOAT though
Yes they were, wouldn't disagree with that
not their fault you were to ignorant to understand it
It was a critically acclaimed work of art .
Nah, it was boring, kitsch and terrible. 100% pure cuck cringe.
Not that we would have done better.
cheap as fuck desu
Bookmarked
>being so autistic to the point of unironically watching the opening ceremony
>fucking garbage olympics of all things
>meaningless words
We get it, Kolo. You're angry that London best Paris. Get over it.

Honestly the best part of the entire ceremony.
I just remember it had recognizable songs instead of all sweeping orchestral stuff which was fun but at the same time ruined the majesty. And Mr. Bean was there.
