Ahahaha he just popped out of the little house and started singing...

11/27/2008 10:59:05 AM

I feel used

11/27/2008 10:59:13 AM

thats what you get for watching a fucking parade. what are you, like 70 years old?

I'm Big Business and i approved this message.

11/27/2008 11:00:21 AM

hahaha i bout peed my pants when i saw that
i came to check here cuz i knew someone would make a thread about it

11/27/2008 11:05:29 AM

I like how he didn't sing it live

11/27/2008 11:11:03 AM

I happened to turn to the parade for a second and got rick rolled. I then flipped back away, feeling awesome.

11/27/2008 11:13:09 AM

Hahaha. First thing I thought of: Oh shit, he just Rickrolled the country.

V I heard they had a special musical guest, and with the lineup so far and the float he was on, I was expecting some teen singer or something. Or maybe a pop/pop-rock singer

[Edited on November 27, 2008 at 11:15 AM. Reason : From a freaking cartoon network float full of IMAGINARY characters]

when are you people gunna get it? it's not "rickrolling" every time you hear the song. It's rickrolling when people lead you to believe you're going to look at something else, and you end up hearing the song.

11/27/2008 11:14:24 AM

they were playing some other song and interrupted it with the song

thus, it was indeed a rickroll

after viewing the video tape, the ruling on the field is overturned.

the play did in fact result in a rickroll.

11/27/2008 11:27:59 AM

more like a dick LOL

11/27/2008 11:28:29 AM

haha wow, they just rickrolled the country

Quote :

"On November 27, 2008 during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, Cartoon Network showcased a float for their cartoon Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. The TimeWarner network hinted at a "musical surprise", which turned out to be Astley performing his song live, interrupting the singing of "Best Friend", the theme of the TV series The Courtship of Eddie's Father. After Astley finished singing, Cheese, a character from the show shouted "I love Rickrolling!". The Internet phenomenon was also referenced by the TV announcer after the incident."

11/27/2008 11:52:06 AM

I went back on the DVR and watched it again. Pretty good execution on that one.

11/27/2008 12:00:55 PM

I never thought I'd have to explain Rickrolling to my parents. Thanks, Macy's!

11/27/2008 12:07:27 PM

How was the parade this year?

11/27/2008 12:11:21 PM

I was busy getting dressed and heard dad say "what is this mess?"

came out to look, and heard "Iiiiiiiiiii just want to tell you how I'm feelin...."

11/27/2008 12:15:10 PM

damn, i hope someone got that on youtube (i haven't checked any that are in the thread so far)

11/27/2008 12:42:39 PM

i never thought i'd see the day when five generations of my family all got rickrolled together

11/27/2008 12:45:30 PM

thats so awesome that he went along with it, so many people (even ones that havent been heard of in 20 years) would do some "I just want to move on from that song blah blah blah" shit

11/27/2008 12:48:32 PM

I LOVE RICK ROLLING

11/27/2008 12:54:09 PM

11/27/2008 1:03:46 PM

11/27/2008 1:06:24 PM

I love Foster's.

When Astley came on, I turned to my husband and said "HOLY SHIT, WE ALL JUST GOT RICKROLLED"

He had no idea what I was talking about. I busted out when Cheese popped his head out of the window and said "I love rickrolling!"

11/27/2008 1:09:16 PM

that is AWESOME

11/27/2008 1:29:32 PM

GREATEST RICKROLL EVER!!!!

11/27/2008 1:42:42 PM

This is a sign that the Internet has grown too powerful. It is the anti-Christ.
