Leslie Jones' Best Olympics Reactions So Far
02/21/2018 02:18 pm EST
Movie Villain
Figure skating has a distinct blend of athleticism and theatricality that always catches the general public off guard when the Olympics come around. Jones identified one skater who she believes could easily make the jump to Hollywood to play a villain if the impulse were to take hold of him.
"Are we in danger?!" Jones asks as he glides by the camera menacingly.
Brotherhood of The Sagging Pants
Jones was appalled to see an American snowboarder hurtling through the air with his pants cinched just a few inches above his knees -- as were many spectators, most likely.
"You saggin' like one of the crips I know, Homie," she yelled at her TV. "You're not no crip! Pull your motherf—ing pants up!"
Kars for Kids
Naturally, a part of this job entails Jones watching hours and hours of Olympics coverage, digging for the gems. On Sunday, she found one in an unlikely place, sharing with her followers a commercial she's had to watch innumerable times by now.
"Okay, whoever did this commercial, I want them to be beaten within an inch of their life," Jones says flatly.
What Even Is Luge
Jones expressed what many people probably feel every four years when they're reminded that ice luge exists: confusion.
"I'm not trying to be unprofessional or anything," she said over footage of an athlete propelling himself onto the track, "but this s— does not look safe."
"Dude! If you hit a pebble, you are f—ed!" she cried.
Relationship Goals
Jones has a knack for catching the best and worst moments of The Olympics in short clips. Here, she struck gold, isolating an instant of high-profile dismay for all time.
"When the relationship is just over!" she wrote, as her voice over said "When he just throw your a— away, he just throw you away."
Tara and Johnny
Even the announcers aren't safe from Jones, who focused in on the broadcasters on Sunday, noting their dynamics on camera.
"He look like he afraid Tara is going to smack the s— out of him," Jones said, laughing.
Michael Jackson on Ice
An figure skater took the ice in suspenders on Thursday, and suffered Jones' judgement. "I'm just trying to figure out how is he going to skate with suspenders on?" She wondered out loud. Many people at home were wondering the same -- noting that ice skating is hard enough without a complicated wardrobe.
Knees of A Champion
Jones has shared a lot of relatable perspectives for the non-Olympic athletes watching the games this year. While aficionados may comment on the subtleties of form and execution, Jones says what's on all of our minds: How does the slalom not destroy the athletes' knees on impact?
"My meniscus would be all over that slope," she says in awe.
Applicable Skills
Jones has an eye for noting Olympic talents that have a practical use in the every day world.
"This is how I want my man to carry me into the bedroom," she says over footage of a figure skater lifting his partner triumphantly overhead. "Just don't drop me, dude."
