I had been fortunate enough never to be Rick Rolled (Hell I didn’t even know wtf Rick Rolled was) until earlier this year Eldorian Rick Rolled me. I was slightly amused by it, but even now, still don’t get the whole “haha” factor behind Rick Rolling people. Now, it seems like the cool thing to do, comics have done spoofs on it, as have other groups…but the best, by far, was the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Rick Roll, performed with Rick Astley on the float.
I honestly wouldn’t have expected it from Cartoon Network, but it kinda fits in with the whole Foster’s and spoofing things. I think it’s great. Now, everyone will know what being Rick Rolled is.
I think it’s even better that he participated in it.
Your thoughts?
Side note: I bet Astley has made more money in royalties and publicity with people Rick Rolling than he did when the song first came out. Irony?
