  • inactive, on 11/27/2008, -11/+1315Thank you rick for not giving me up or letting me down!
  • MrWally, on 11/27/2008, -7/+1046Oh my.

    That was actually Rick Astley.

    Forget the MTV Music Awards, that was priceless.
  • WHOOMP, on 11/27/2008, -10/+722what began as a wordfilter from "egg" to "duck" on a website frequently filled with images of bestiality and child pornography has led to a float in the macy's thanksgiving day parade...
  • pros599, on 11/27/2008, -121/+828This was epic. I was wondering how long it would be before someone posted it on digg. Good job, 10 minutes, 57 seconds :D
  • sjones12, on 11/27/2008, -5/+656MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
  • TheMidnight, on 11/27/2008, -9/+634Oh this was classic. Clearly the largest Rick Roll in history!
  • techobo, on 11/27/2008, -12/+611That was pretty clever. In an interview after the event, Rick talks about the whole Rick Roll phenomenon.

  • TheLoneWolf071, on 11/27/2008, -13/+462Very epic. I was watching and I just heard it and though "Did someone hack the system?" then I saw him... and the best part was at the end the Character said "I LOVE RICK ROLLING!"
  • mieos, on 11/27/2008, -6/+436If there's anything to be thankful for this Thanksgiving it is Rick Astley.
  • eric22222, on 11/27/2008, -6/+376I don't know what to make of this... I mean, on one hand, the entire country just got Rickrolled. On the other hand, having to explain Rickrolling to my grandma is a little weird.
  • FFandMMfan, on 11/27/2008, -3/+339It was a terrible lip sync though...
    Regardless, that was pretty awesome.
    I LIKE RICK ROLLING!
  • Chaotyk, on 11/27/2008, -7/+309Rick seems so confused that his song has become so popular again.
  • CarStan, on 11/27/2008, -2/+291This is the ultimate proof of chaos theory.
  • bobrobon, on 11/27/2008, -9/+23511/27/08


    "The Day America was Rick Roll'd".
  • inactive, on 11/27/2008, -3/+229damn you, you are such a bitch.
  • kangy3213, on 11/27/2008, -10/+229We're no strangers to love
  • inactive, on 11/27/2008, -11/+229You said the same thing on atomic's submission....His was 5 min 57 sec though so i guess you didn't have to wonder after that.... You must have a ***** memory
  • inactive, on 11/27/2008, -1/+218LOL. According to his profile he made that comment *10* times.

  • StusGhost, on 11/27/2008, -8/+193That was pretty ultimate. I think the only way it could be topped is if it's played sometime during Obama's inauguration. Time for a new internet prank.
  • Ghostalker, on 11/27/2008, -0/+182God ***** dammit techobo. I can't believe I fell for this ***** in a RickRoll thread.
  • Jareth86, on 11/27/2008, -3/+175Holy *****, Rick Astley finally did it.
  • inactive, on 11/27/2008, -12/+172i want to makeout with Rick Astley
  • ElAmo, on 11/27/2008, -2/+161You know the rules and so do I
  • BossKey, on 11/27/2008, -0/+154He's probably like "I don't understand how the hell...Wait, hang on a sec. What? Yeah, I'll show up for a check. ...Sweet."
  • currentnotice, on 11/27/2008, -2/+149Did... did that count as being rick rolled? I mean, can you be rick rolled when knowing that what you are about to see is a rick roll? I feel as though a paradox is forming in my soul.

  • inactive, on 11/27/2008, -17/+107anytime the mainstream adopts something it officially stops being cool.
    sort of like old white people saying "bling"
    or valley girls throwing the metal horns.

    Now if only the entirety of 4chan culture were foisted on the mainstream...
    Thanksgiving 2009, an entire float full of furries goes an hero.
  • handheldchimp, on 11/27/2008, -7/+96I was just thinking that...they killed it. We must protect Admiral Ackbar now.
  • had3l, on 11/27/2008, -43/+132It's official: Rickrolling isn't cool anymore.
    It's way too mainstream now.
