Are we allowed to post Rick Rolls (^) in here without fear of the reprisal?

 
xanadian [TotalFark] 2008-02-06 02:31:42 PM  
Footage (p) of Rick's early years. Yes. 8 mm film is teh suck, but the translation to digital somehow went well...

 
xanadian [TotalFark] 2008-02-06 02:33:36 PM  
Rick Astley was also a big football fan (p).

Happy birthday, you baritone dancing fool!

How did the rick-roll meme even come about?

 
elffster 2008-02-06 03:44:06 PM  
I used to play his music when I worked in radio (a zillion years ago), I never imagined that folks would be getting a kick out of him like they do.

Guess it could be worse.

Maybe if everyone can get it out of their system in this thread, the lamest ever internet "meme" can disappear after today.

So this pretty much guarantees me not clicking any links in this thread.

February 6th, 1966: The Rick Roll was born


I bet Rick, Sr. was thrilled.


Dad: "Honey, it's a..."

Rick: "Never gonna give you up..."

Dad: "^%#^$$@$"

No, he promised we'd be together forever. After all, it would take a strong, strong man to ever let us go.

GREATEST ever internet "meme"

At the moment, for me personally, the "I can't believe you've done this" twat takes the cake.

I personally think the roskty or however the hell you spell it is worse, because it's self-perpetuating, sorta like a virus.

He had a big fat hit that was ghastly.

Unrelated to that, I have video of the confession of the actual Kennedy assassin, the faked moon landing, bigfoot and the new Indiana Jones trailer, just click...meh, forget it.

Guys I am 7 years old, and I fell into a ditch and can't find my house any more. I"m very lost and I been eating twinkies and chewing gum since yesterday! Can someone PLEASE give me the link to the Lincoln Elementary School website!? I have to contact them! My mommy works there as a teacher! I'm so thirsty please help me thank you!

 
soupbone 2008-02-06 04:02:29 PM  
Weird I submitted this and it got greenlit with this headline after a mod changed the wording a little. Then I notice that it had been redlit. Now it's on the front page. So the question is do I get credit for it or not? If so it would be my first approved. Have no idea why it went from Green to Red but is now on the front page.

/confused

They thought the same thing about this one (new window). They were dead wrong.

Oh man, the hours I spent on that thing. I eventually was able to compose the intros to "Another One Bites the Dust" and "Strangelove" for all the effort.

 
Cowboy Spencer 2008-02-06 04:05:24 PM  
I never understood why rickrolling was funny.

"Haha! I got someone to click on a Rick Astley link by telling them it was something else! HAHA! I'm so clever and original!"

 
Nightsweat 2008-02-06 04:05:29 PM  
I am pissed that I can't find Jon Astley songs but Rick Astley is all over the place.

Jon Astley had "Jane's Getting Serious" and "Been There, Done That, What's Next" which were great songs.

Wow Fark blocked the URL to the original.

Why is self-perpetuating possesive. It was right the first time.
