London 2012 is still the best and one because it was simply a cultural highlight. Then everything went all crazy artistic and odd for what is a sporting event

For pure spectacle, I don't think Beijing 2008 has been topped. Although making the performers wear diapers so they could practice for 12 hours without any breaks was probably a little bit extreme.

Truly, this is very classy. I remember the Paris ones were pretty tacky at times the way they brought the rings up was super cool.
Kind of funny that they're doing the parade of athletes as a Milan cat walk. But hey, it works.

I was still remember those drums. There's also a very funny episode of South Park that dealt with that at the time. When the show was still funny.

I must've missed that part, but I thought the coming together of the rings was really cool. Really pretty stage.

History is being made this year. For the first time ever, a Fightin’ Texas Aggie is competing in the Winter Olympics. Aggies everywhere are cheering on Boone Niederhofer '16! WHOOP!👍

Kinda like how every Super Bowl halftime since Prince in the rain has been trash
This is much better than the Paris opening ceremony with the drag queen Last Supper nonsense.
This guy singing is amazing.
Edited to add: it was Andrea Bocelli, no wonder he sounded good

Bocelli was awesome
My wife and I flew to Vienna to see him for her birthday. Just a fantastic concert
And I'll be shocked if he isn't at the Closing ceremonies singing Time to Say Goodbye.
