Sure, sure, people swam, ran, dove, hurdled, and generally performed athletic feats that us common people can't even dream about attempting, but the 2012 London Olympics was about more than that. It was about unimpressed queens. Corgis. Guys in kilts playing the saxophone. Crip walk dances. Kate Middleton. Did I mention the corgis? Here are the 20 most memorable non-sporting moments — meaning, an athlete can be featured, but they can't be in the middle of their respective sport — from the Summer Olympics, in GIF form.
And remember, even if you're a regular McKayla Maroney, always look on the bright side of life.
The original "unimpressed" meme. (Via)

Always a third wheel, never the bride. (Via)
Settle down, fellas. (Via)
In 30 years, we won't remember Ryan Lochte, but we'll never forget McKayla Maroney. (Via)

Haha, it's funny because Michael Phelps's mom was excited. (Via)
Speaks for itself, and it's saying, "Heyyy." (Via)
Sex has been ruined for me since seeing this commercial. (Via)

Boris Johnson could have flawlessly blended into the dancing section earlier. (Via)
Oh, Becks. (Via)
I'll miss you most of all, Vin Diesel. (Via)

I still can’t understand WTF that Ragu commercial was about.
“Damn, I just saw my parents boning. Welp, time to eat some spaghetti!”
McKayla Maroney is probably more famous now than she would’ve been if she’d just won the gold medal.
Has anyone gif’d Misty May-Treanor’s gold medal victory dance? That was delightful.
Oh Vivki. Never change.
ALL HAIL THE HYPNO-HEINEY!!
Victoria Beckham looked so stiff throughout the performance. Nah, she’s probably like that all the time. Lol
No. 9 isn’t the Olympics, it is from Istanbul earlier this year.
Though if you want to google her she’s Ivet Lalova from Bulgaria.
I do have a life, it is just a very sad one . . .
i was less annoyed by the dougie when it was kate upton doing it, and not some snark-driven 16 year old.
What about the tall ginger behind the Queen on the right of the screen who slowly lowered himself into the shot when he realized his body was on camera? Brilliant!
