Everybody is talking about how anticlimactic the ball drop was this year but at least it didn't become December 32nd.
The Kia tuck was annoying lol and what you said is so true. That would have just been the last straw for sure.
Lol on Wednesday, my coworker said with the way 2020 was he was half expecting that 2020 would become 13 months long & just be extended😂
I think if that happened then I would have won my "End of the World" bingo.
True we don’t want another 2020

That's funny 🤣😂🤣😅😂😂
The quietest New Year’s Eve ever. It’s like this is a movie where the world has ended and this is what’s left.
I have to agree with you and your opinion as well. It is the quietest New Year's Eve not to mention bare in Times Square that I've ever seen. I have been watching New Year's Rockin Eve with Dick Clark may he rest in peace that is now hosted by Ryan Seacrest, anyway for many many years no matter what my condition was in I would always see the ball drop no matter where I was. It was the excitement in New York City. However as I said I've never seen it this bare.
Right?
@@Lirrfilmer2004 the sadness comes from the fact that who knows how many hundreds of people plan to be there for this and could not because of either sickness or death from covid-19. It makes me sad to think that but it's true I believe. May they rest in peace and no longer suffer and I pray that their families heal.
It feels empty
It’s finally 2021 here in CA.
You can't even see the ball drop for all the corporate advertising! Horrible!
I seen it just fine
Same , shitty kia ads no ball drop
I didn't even realize that it was there until the 2nd or 3rd viewing. Not planning on going with that particular brand for anything from now on.
It got eaten by Kia.
Had to watch it again to figure out the ball dropped.
The KIA and Planet Fitness ads covered everything. I know it's Time Square, but it seemed especially bad this year. I hate our corporate, money obsessed culture. Sick.
Boycott Kia
The tragic thing is the people in charge would have seen the London show 5 hours earlier and no one said "Pack the bags, son, the shows off."
What happened to the clock swing.
hate to break it to you bud but no one does things without compensation. even when you do your friends a favor you expect something in return, maybe a favor in the future if not something immediately. its just how we work. money is the result of this impulse. a standardized way to provide compensation. dont hate the player, hate the game.
Hi I'm from 2021 January 6th and we found out 2020 was just the trailer
What a horrible way to end a horrible year. Thanks Kia and Planet Fitness.
Better than Volkswagen..
I want the old one back or the one with capital one
The uk did it better 😌💯
I think the british version is better ua-cam.com/video/MpJIg_3DnLk/v-deo.html
For me 2020 wasn't that bad
What a fitting ending of 2020. Corporate sponsors hide the ball drop. Figures.
2024 here.....literally not 10 seconds in & we get 2 guys going hard if you know what i mean.
RIP to all the fallen people of 2020

This Is not terrifying, The Kia Ad Is
I'm not the only one who thought this was depressing, right? Like, in terms of the show itself. They could have done a better job hosting it and making it a good show. I'm not even taking about Corona limitations I'm talking about their ability to provide commentary and host the damn thing. Compare this one to how Dick Clark used to provide commentary and informations and just genuinely excite people. Nothing to do with budget and pandemic limitations, everything to do with being a good entertainer and lifting peoples spirits.
They try their best
I have t agre wit Sakura. It felt like an add for Kia. The UK made a huge effort to remember the year that was and pai their respect to the national health. NYC did disappoint this year
I mean New York is being hit by corona this is the best they could do
@@martin4dmr770 Yea but not the most disappointing I've seen.
That’s why you watch the Russian New Year’s concert. It’s never depressing
A lot of people didn't make it to this point. I commented on last year's saying how a few of those people in the previous crowd are probably dead. It's so eerily quiet. This marks a turning point.
Not that many people died. The police were the main event making sure nobody was on the streets.

People barely showed up anyway lol. (They weren't allowed to) So what would be the point of making a big celebration if no one's attending? (Although it would've been nice for the Americans watching at home, this was depressing)
This is the saddest Time Square new year’s celebration, it’s haunting seeing that little people. May god be with us all through this year.

@@JackThePBSKid Yeah back in 2019, they took down the old billboards on One Times Square and replaced them with Samsung billboards. And you could rent them for a minute, hour, day, week, but not for a decade, like Toshiba

Took a while, but we’re getting there
You mean 2022
Times Square is still not the same without Dick Clark and it’s not the same without millions of people seeing the ball drop in person. It’s like Thanos creeped up in Times Square, snapped a whole lot of people out of existence, and you end up with just 100 to 200 people remain to see the ball drop in person. Hopefully Times Square gets their major audience back in 2022.
"I'm leaving today!" Got that right! New Yorker's are leaving in droves!

This is sad. It is completely wrong that the screen was covered with a KIA ad and another rectangle with a clock. It is a lie that this is a full video of the Times Square Ball Drop. Not that I am in the market, but I hope I remember never to by a KIA.

We can’t have anything without some corporate label slapped on it. The Kia clock and planet fitness paraphernalia everywhere is so tacky and out of place it robs anything special about these occasions.
Crazy most of the people that went last year passed away rip to all them
Lol what?
Most of those people didn’t passed away from last year’s ball drop maybe 15%-30% of them did
And now it’s 2022. That went by fast
The fact that 2021 is 2 years ago…..
And now its 3 Years ago
I stumbled back here after rewatching the ball drop for 2022. The crowds here are significantly smaller and it was a lot quieter. I think what's more depressing is not even the crowd size, but I think this ball drop made it more apparent how gaudy this whole celebration is. Bright billboard advertisements, those hideous planet fitness hats, it's the most anticipated gathering for people and they get absolutely bombarded with ways companies want to sell you their product. Countdowns to new years are fun and it's worth celebrating, but not in this way. I went and watched the one for 2022 and that still was depressing even with the crowd sizes returned. And the years before then? Still depressing.

This actually made me bit angry. New York is supposed to symbolize something to the world.
Sure we have coronavirus and New York had a bad time, but New Year's is about optimism. I watched the displays in Dubai, Taipei, Auckland, Bangkok and the absolutely show-stopping display in London where they acknowledged corona, their healthcare heroes, blm, and planet earth. They acknowledged the horror of 2020 but still put on a gorgeous show for their citizens, using the best technology out there and using all the most beautiful landmarks in their city.
It was a bad year, so let's look forward with a fiery spirit, said the world.
And then New York had a Kia ad. A fucking Kia ad.
Happy Kia everyone! Err wait, what was happening there?
I can just imagine if 2020 was just preparing us about what may happen in 2022 and 2021 was just a small break for us from the events that happened in 2020, and then it was to just so happen that 2022 is going to be way worse than 2020.
Thank you WLTX!
