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

Footage (p) of Rick's early years. Yes. 8 mm film is teh suck, but the translation to digital somehow went well...

Rick Astley was also a big football fan (p).

Happy birthday, you baritone dancing fool!

surprised I ever got to see this one.

How did the rick-roll meme even come about?

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: "^%#^$$@$"

Have you seen this Manson (new window) tribute to Rick?

And lo these many years later, I ask you citizens, has this otherwordly crooner ever:

Given us up?
Let us down?
Run around?
Hurt us?

This is neither a RickRoll nor a DuckRoll. (new window)

I'll raise you all a Mario Paint Rickroll:

Uh...what?

2:07 Nevar forget!!!!!!

RickRoll (not a RickRoll)

Unless he grows a goatee ...

Is there a chance that he might tell a lie and hurt you?

culebra: And lo these many years later, I ask you citizens, has this otherwordly crooner ever:

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

Lloyd Roll (for you Michigan fans out there)

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.

Do you remember Rick Astley?
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.

Strongbadroll'd!

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!

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.

mason4300: haha that mario paint one was actually pretty damn good. I remember messing around with that thing, could never finish an entire song

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.

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!"

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.

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