Reminds me of the Family Guy FCC song... "I can think of quite another place / They should have stuck it first!"

This is the best explanation I can find.

Right, to explain further Mayor --

It's recently been a practical internet joke to trick people into clicking on a link, which is a YouTube video of Rick Astley's 80s song "Never Gonna Give You Up". The practice has become widespread in certain parts of the net and so it is on the tail end of its existence as a part of internet culture. glatt shows one example of how the link is used. The practice is called "Rickrolling".

The joke is now extended, and made funny again, by "remixing it" in interesting ways, such as the 007 poster, and now this:



The humor in Rickrolling is somewhat sophisticated. The song is annoying enough and corny enough to be undesirable to suddenly find one's self listening to it. It's probably not a song one would voluntarily sit through. At the same time, it's not unpleasant, and people can tolerate being Rickrolled multiple times while still finding it funny.

The problem with this post, however, is that any humor is ruined by explanation.

But the post is entirely redeemed by the Obama-Rickroll. I hadn't seen that. Friggin' hysterical.

Dough! Thanks, I didn't recognize him. And Glatt, thanks for the experience! I never thought I'd be rickrolled! (I feel like I want to take a shower now)...

Maine Coon, anyone? :eyebrow:
I've got one of these, but he's not -nearly- as big.

Talk about threading the needle. Haven't seen anything like that before, and I don't think I will again. Holy hell that's cool. Thanks for sharing. :D
