The Closing Ceremony was the closest you can get to dropping acid and not having to worry about failing a drug test.

Letā€™s just get right to it: the Closing Ceremony of the Winter Olympics was one of the trippiest things ever televised. We donā€™t have enough fingers to count the number of ā€˜wait, what?ā€™ moments we saw.

There was everything we never knew we wanted: IlluminatedĀ ice dancing panda bears, K-Pop performances against the backdrop of LED tie-dye, a laser light tiger running around. At one point, Pandas received emails from children on a mountaintop and proceeded to travel through hyperspace (maybe?) on a journey through time.

Things got weird.

We saw typical Closing Ceremony festivities take place, such as athletes riding each otherā€™s shoulders and waving to the crowd in celebration of the games we were all glued to for the last two weeks. But a bulk featured what was basically the trippiest laser light show this side of a Pink Floyd concert.

Not that the Olympics werenā€™t awesome, but we couldnā€™t have started with this? The Opening Ceremony was alright but in comparison to what we saw on Sunday night, we should feel a little cheated.

They say ā€˜save the best for lastā€™. The Closing Ceremony was essentially a collective acid trip, but with the benefit of remembering everything and not being hungover at work tomorrow morning.
