Copy Clerk  Posts: 110 Joined: 17 Apr 2009    | I'd would love to know what started them. The first I heard of the song was from family guy. But yeah they can still be funny once a week. |

I heard rumours that it was 4chan. OT: Go to the other thread to see what I think. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2440 Joined: 11 Oct 2008    | If done right, yeah. Some friend of mine were Rickrolled pretty epically the other day. We were hanging out outside a lounge building at my college when we hear a knock at the window. We look up to see our friend standing there with her laptop playing the music video. I had no choice but to bow down to her awesomeness. |

Gone Gonzo Posts: 2885 Joined: 11 Mar 2009  | Is it wrong for me to like that song? |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 570 Joined: 22 Feb 2009    | Anything that provokes the urge to tear someone's intestines out usually doesn't rate too highly on the "humour" chart. One thing I do find quite funny though is that YouTube have got into the habit of putting "contains content from the Rick Astley Official Channel" onto rickroll videos, rendering them effectively de-fanged (if that's the word) if you're observant enough to pick up on it. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4993 Joined: 3 Jan 2009 | NO, they are not. And neither is 'cool story, bro' Memes suck monkey balls. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 586 Joined: 17 May 2009  | Yeah it gets annoying. I may hate the song less if it wasn't used for this. Or if it wasn't Rick Astley. I wonder if he hates that all his song is known for is annoyances made by douche bags on the internet. |

The only time I found it really funny was when me and my GF are walking through the shopping center and walk into a store... and guess what was playing... i turned to my GF and said "Oh for the love of god I cant even go to the center without getting rickrolled"... |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1168 Joined: 16 Nov 2008  | It was funny the first couple of times, but now it just annoys the hell out of me. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 142 Joined: 5 Nov 2009   | Maybe if "Rickroll" got like an update it would be funny like picking a different song or artists continue what it did without being it...I'm rambling -_- |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3767 Joined: 29 Dec 2007   | They are boring, not enough in my way to be anoying and not clever enough to be funny... ...most of the time anyway.
Ten minutes apart it would seem, quite strange. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1419 Joined: 3 Apr 2008     | rickrolls are funny. like the one yahtzee got. hilarious |
Paperboy  Posts: 39 Joined: 14 Sep 2009     | What do you mean still funny? IMO, they were never funny to begin with. Especially the one with the Javascript that moved the window around and forced you to terminate the browser process just to get rid of it. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 555 Joined: 20 Jun 2009 | too be honest i just never found it funny in the 1st place. |
Anonymous Source  Posts: 2 Joined: 7 Nov 2009   | Meh. Kinda, not really. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2447 Joined: 4 Jun 2009   | No, they are only funny for the troll posting. I thought that was the point, to annoy people by making them listen to shitty music. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3302 Joined: 10 Feb 2008  | If done creatively, like how EA rickrolled Yathzee or the massive Thanksgiving Rickroll: Now those are amusing. Your average internet Rickroll, not so much.
I actually liked that really, getting Rickrolled by a prominent political figure, especially one you would néver expect it from. I would expect it from Obama, from Pelosi, not so much. Kudo's to her. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2247 Joined: 24 Nov 2008 | They were funny at one time? Really? I always thought that they were always unfunny... huh. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1401 Joined: 17 Nov 2008   | When where Rickrolls funny besides when the man actually did it himself and when Yahtzee got rickrolled? Seriously they're just boring and probably make up 30% of youtubes server space. (50% would be shity anime music videos with linkin parks "In the end") |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 424 Joined: 11 Feb 2009  | It's funny if did right. Like when he did it himself in that video up there *points up* or like when EA RickRolled Yahtzee. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 128 Joined: 19 Aug 2009   | They can be funny. A while back my sister called me downstairs to see something on the tv. She turns on the DVR and its that video. We shared a laugh and I deleted the video. It pretty much how that kinda thing works anymore. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1949 Joined: 9 Aug 2009 | They were never funny. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 55 Joined: 22 Sep 2009  | Only if they are done well... Like with Yahtzee. But on YouTube when they upload videoes under another name and Rick-Rolls people... that's just sad. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 110 Joined: 10 Aug 2009 | They can be funny at times, I recently handed in an assignment and in one of the example videos it was (yes, you guessed it) a rick-roll. =D Lets hope I don't fail. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 86 Joined: 19 Oct 2009 | Guys,you're kinda late...Rickroll was a trend. lol Even if some ppl still do it,this is quite old. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 67 Joined: 18 Oct 2009 | rickroll meme was dead after the macy's thanksgiving parade |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2534 Joined: 29 Aug 2009 | Few and far between, they're alright. Excessive and constant, they're not. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 398 Joined: 13 Sep 2009  | Depends how sneaky it is. If completely unexpected and well placed within the video, I approve. |

you know when you, for example: see a game trailer for the sequel of a game you likes, your interested in it and you check it out, but much to your dismay,that song plays....
now, personally i hate rick rolls to death, to me they are overdone. They were funny the first 3 times, but by like the 8th time i started to see an annoying trend starting.So yeah i think they suck,but do you think about them. i just wanna know what escapist thinks about them, so that way of you like it i can track you down and throw rocks at your house. (just kidding lol)
