That one backup player looks so much like Baron Corbin.

Yeah, they waited until 8pm ET to start because Rio is an hour ahead of them and NBC wanted everything in prime time.
I WANT THE REGIMENTAL ATHLETES MARCHING OFF TO WAR! NOT AMATEUR HOUR AT THE ARTHOUSE!

So... Is it normal for opening ceremonies to be entirely about the place hosting the games? Because this is less, "Welcome to the Olympics," and more, "Rainforest, mothaf***a!"

I don't know about all time, but the Sochi Winter games were like that. But they somehow breezed over the whole Soviet oppression thing...

This looks like a realized version of that White Stripes video with the Legos.

Or West Side Story Brazilian style.
Although if a guy screams "MARIA!", there better be more than one chick at the window.

I wonder what they will do during the 1970s when students went to the rainforest to study cannibals....
What? That didn't happen?

It's a miracle! The BBC showed Andy Murray and didn't cut to a shot of Judy Murray within ten seconds.

Spoiler for non live viewers: it's nearly an hour into the Parade Of Nations.. And they are only up to I.
Oh and the USA come out in the E's .. So it's not near the end like most years.

They are projected to make 1.8 billion on NBC alone in ad revenue before we are done. Swear to God in Heaven, my least favorite words may be "More from Brazil" before this is done.

I hope Germany is dressed tastefully this year, not like a bunch of dissidents who seem to relocate down there hiding from their sordid past.

The E's.... Here they come... my favorite country since it sounds like a Don Rickles insult... Equatorial Guinea.
As for all the ads. McNuggets and condoms ain't free.
