Macy's Parade Got RickRoll'd! PDF Print E-mail

Is there anything left sacred anymore? Is there anything you bastards won't RickRoll? The Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade is a tradition, dammit. Can we please wake up early on a holiday and enjoy a parade without being eyeraped by an Internet meme?

Watch the video here as the Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends float is suddenly interrupted by a familiar tune...

Okay, I admit, that was pretty funny. Given the man's actual involvement instead of just a video, can we safely say declare this the most epic RickRoll ever? The only thing that would top this is if he does it during Obama's inauguration.

Rick Astley seems to be enjoying one of the weirdest musical comebacks ever. Can any other recording artist really say, "YouTube saved me from obscurity"?

 Actually, 4chan saved him from obscurity, seeing as how they created the meme.

 This was the coolest RickRoll to date! I like the Obama Inaguration idea too. He also looked better today than the original video. I loved it! Congratulations Cartoon Network!!!

 holy f**king ass crackers. Rick Astly has created a monster that cannot die. He rock roll'd everyone from east to west coast. You have to be s**tting me at this point. He will make money of that tune forever.

 NBC has been promoting their Christmas at Rockefeller show to feature Miley Cyrus, Beyonce, Jonas Brothers, and a "mystery superstar."

I keep thinking it's Astley.

 Now that I think of it if Astly sings at the half time maybe the Cowboys will stop disappointing an entire state each season.
