Israel is coming...

Think they'll just make the music louder on the broadcasts, or deploy the Eurovision anti booing technology..

The most entertaining thing about this so far are the "Stop the Boats" memes.

i want him to slip on that roof so bad

Melies!

[Bear]

i like this

[Michelle]

For me, this just isn’t translating on tv. I miss the vibe of a stadium opening. It’s all just a bit flat… I appreciate little can be done about the weather! 

[Faster]

Is there going to be Little Prince section now?

I just started typing that when he came across the screen.

[Bear]

...they arent showing the minions to an international audience, right? this is just an NBC thing?

[Ikarus360]

Little Prince and Statue of Liberty

[JMarkSnow2012]

Minions?

[Olympic Fan Darcy]

I may be unpopular in saying it but i'm getting sick of following this dude around. 

 

He's not exactly showcasing the city much, most of the camera shots have been of random floors and railings. 

[Faster]

Is the minions a commercial on NBC or are everyone seeing this?

[zigzag]

Minions??? That's absurd

Minions here too

[Sir Rols]

Minions? 

Surely they should have used Phryges

[Olympic Fan Darcy]

Oh a bit of Jules Verne around the world in 80 days? 

 

That's cute. 

[sebastien1214]

Don't forget that the Minions are also a French creation (partially)

[olympian.br]

Minions? Is this LA 2028 already? Wth.

[Ikarus360]

Why the Minions?

[yoshi]

Minions? What's the connection?

[AmaniS]

Minions Olympics video game

[Olympic Fan Darcy]

Pathetic.

Nope. I'm sure it will all make sense eventually.
