The recent addition of breakdancing to the Olympics has sparked quite a debate online, and comedian Greg's take on it has brought even more attention. The segment begins with Greg humorously discussing the idea of having "normal people" compete in the Olympics, transitioning into a critique of the breakdancing event. The comedian draws a vivid picture, likening the dancers to Homer Simpson and highlighting the performance of Ray Gunn, a breakdancer from Australia.

Ray Gunn, who has become an unexpected internet sensation, is at the center of this controversy. Unfortunately for her, the attention hasn't been positive. Greg notes that she's become a meme, not in a flattering way, and speculates that she might be seeking seclusion to escape the ridicule.

The standup routine has prompted a variety of reactions online. One user remarked, "It's wild," while another compared it to "a French loaf: already stale." The overarching sentiment seems to reflect a mixture of disbelief and fascination, with one commenter noting, "The deeper we dig, the more it feels like a train wreck we can’t look away from."

Some have criticized the comedian's routine, stating, "this standup is worse than that breakdancing." Others have defended Ray Gunn, pointing out that the breaking community is supportive of her efforts. One user added, "I think an issue is how judgy everyone who isn't in the culture is for someone in a laid-back, supportive sport. The breaking community is supporting Radar."

The discussion also touched on Ray Gunn's dance teacher, Renata Bliss, who has been described as a "Pass or Fail teacher, only in it for the money." This harsh critique underscores the complex web of opinions surrounding the event.

Overall, the breakdancing segment at the Olympics has become a polarizing topic, drawing both criticism and support. Ray Gunn's journey from Australia to meme status exemplifies the unpredictable nature of internet fame and the intense scrutiny that comes with it. As the debate continues, one thing is clear: the more we learn about it, the worse it gets.

I think an issue is how judgy everyone who isn't in the culture is for someone in a laid back supportive sport. The breaking community is supporting Radar.

I’m sorry but the worst thing was her teacher, [Renata Bliss](https://youtu.be/hMwL-jp_tJk?feature=shared) She’s the epitome of a Pass or Fail teacher, only in it for the money. She calls herself a “freestyle dance teacher”, which gives her cover for lack of talent.
