The Rio Olympics Closing Ceremony is happening right now and while it has been largely uneventful, for one moment it united the whole world in pure, unbridled joy. That moment, was when the Prime Minister of Japan Shinzō Abe, popped out of a green pipe dressed like Nintendo’s Mario.

It’s customary for the next host of the Olympics to do a little teaser for their games, but who would of thought it would be this glorious? This magical thing really happened.

Goddamn, Tokyo Olympics will be lit.
