Olympic Breakdancing

[Vegas64 673]

Saturday, looks like it's pretty short and contained.

I'll say it out loud at the risk of sounding like the Boomer I am....Breakdancing is stupid and it being an olympic event is stupid. What's next? Parkour? Ultimate Tag? Frisbee Golf? Floor is lava?

Get a job, Lebowski.

It's dumb because it's another subjectively judged event.  I wouldn't care if they added parkour, ultimate tag, frisbee golf, or floor is lava because those have objective measures of victory.

Shit I watch YouTube video on nutty parkour shit, I'd sure as hell watch it in the Olympics. 

I do not watch Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo videos on YouTube.

This bullshit is a precursor to adding a Talent Contest to the Olympics. Cannot be any worse than the bullshit posted above. 

[crash_davis 23096]

Wait...we have underwater dancing and gymnastics floor dancing with a twirly thing. I guess this bullshit was inevitable.

Wait for men breakdancing.  There are so names I recognize.  Japan and SK are dominant in breakdancing.

Does it matter?

Because that was the person doing the funny "what my nephew does when he says watch" and then someone said "wait until the men go", so I haz confuse. If it was a woman, it would be less funny and more understandable. But I honestly can't discern based on visual physiognomy (NTTAWWT). I thought I detected both make-up and an adams apple (again, NTTAWWT), but the chest part of the shirt is a total optical illusion for trying to determine breasts.

When I see a breakdancer in action, I can't shake the feeling that I'm supposed to throw newspapers at them.

Not sure what I was expecting, but this ain't it.

[Deej 76750]

The Olympic committee is going to fuck around until we have yell leading in the 2032 games.

[CooterBrown 18002]

I’m embarrassed I watched 30 seconds of those B Girlz. JFC.

[InkaUtexas 25856]

Best part of what I posted is the dumbass spectator really into it. He paid for those tickets and is excited. Dumbass.

Is this…uhhh…a prank? Or is she using the Olympics as a live social experiment?

I remember the first time I tried dancing after I drank a liter of tequila…I should have gone to the Olympics

If beggars on the street corners did the Curly dance, I'd consider tossing them a buck or 2

[MonkeyDoughnut 10226]

I can see why this is a one time thing and not going to be part of 2028 or 2032 at least.... I don't see it returning.

She's a fucking gangster. PhD holding professor in whatever the fuck and gets into the Olympics as a 36 year old competing against teens and she shows up in a Beverly Goldberg track suit. With a hat. I felt bad at first until I realized she was flipping off the entire world. Peak surly. 

[Deej 76750]

My dog butt scooting across the rug could probably earn a silver medal. 

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

This is going to be the greatest spectacle in 4 years in LA

prime time live? I’m in

[TexasHooch 5122]

My family and friends make fun of me because I can't watch The Office, Curb Your Enthusiasm, It's always Sunny, or Punk'd. .  I just get too uncomfortable watching other people in cringey situations.

That's how I felt yesterday trying to watch this stuff.  Couldn't do it.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

Live on nbc now. So the guys are pretty good

Good breakdancing with dynamic, kinetic moves is fun to watch. I caught some of the Olympics competition, not just the embarassing Aussie intersectional gender studies woman, and it was low quality. Like when USA basketball sent college players instead of the Dream Team.
