All we need now is for someone to rick roll Rick Astley, and we'll be done.

You do realise he rickrolls himself, right?

He's lip syncing. =/  Very disheartening.

How can anyone rick roll themselves? Isn't rick rolling tricking someone into seeing the video when they think they're going to see something else?
Anyway
It'd be cooler for someone else to Rick Roll him.

So he didn't actually rick roll New York then, did he? They weren't tricked, and it wasn't his video.

The point of Rickrolling someone is to have them be seduced by Astley's deep voice.  So in that sense, he probably Rickrolls himself a lot.

I'm still pissed that he's lipsyncing though.  Makes it sort of pointless.

They weren't expecting Astley. They were expecting more Foster's and Astley was like "!@#$% no Rick roll time".

So, yeah, it was a Rick Roll.

I don't think singing never gonna give you up is rickrolling. If they said "And now, here's David Hasslehoff, singing HOOKED ON A FEELING!" and rick came out, that would be different. It's just him singing a song he sings. Might as well be the Hoff...

2/10.

Anyhow, this was the one and only year, since as far back as I can remember, that my family did not have the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on the TV. Though, just last Monday, I was rickroll'd by a commercial. :(

Turkey? $35.00
Stuffing? $10.00
Rickrolling an entire nation? Priceless.

It really is the entire nation, right? NBC is a national network, so anyone who watched got rickrolled.

Well, the fact that it was interrupting another float makes it a Rick Roll.

No, it isn't. You don't have a clue what exactly rick rolling is, and neither did those guys. Visit a *chan imageboard, and find out from there. Has to be unexpected and in disguise of something else, and can also be a sudden interruption. This was none of those.

Meanwhile people with lives found that somewhat amusing because it was just a bit of humour during a parade...

Watch the video before you go off on people for not knowing what a rick roll is -.-  Everyone was expecting the Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends float to finish their song, when suddenly it's interrupted by Rick Astley.  It's a rick roll.

I have a life, I find it amusing, I'm just being pedantic.

Anyway, my bad Faldomar, I went by what I heard other people had said, which was that everyone knew he was gonna be there, etc.
