Talk:Rickroll
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
[edit] This video contains content from: Rick Astley TV.
Worth a mention? I'd say 80% of all Rickrolls (The other 20% being direct links to the music video) are pretty much ruined now that Sony/BMG immediately claims ownership to any video containing a portion of the music video and puts the above caption on them. --1337onidas 17:00, 28 October 2008 (CDT)

I'll do it eventually, but if someone's got free time, please {{ytlink|vidE0|description}} all of those videos. - Jasper Jasper @ MeowMail.com 19:54, 28 March 2008 (CDT)
- Done and done. The failrolls are not ytlink format(did them before I saw this), but shrunk nonetheless. I left the necessary/good videos ebbed.

[edit] So...
Regarding that interview with good ol' Rick...he's saying we're all quite sad and creepy? Wheee. Oh, and he did an interview with Ryan Seacrest (lol) about rickrolling...but I couldn't find a direct link to the interview (it is audio).

[edit] Scaryroll
To to retarded participants of this edit war,
Please stop reverting each other. It's the same fucking video either way. I'm going to side with the editors who want this video up:
This video is technically older, and therefore, should stay up. Since I know of no other way to decide between the two, I'm going with the older video. Unless somebody can come up with a legitimate reason as to why the other version is better, cut it the fuck out. This edit war is completely fucking pointless. ~ Endedrural (talk)

I swear to Christ I'm going to lock the article again if you faggots don't stop adding shit to the variations section. ADD ANY NEW LINKS/ROLLS TO THE FAILROLLS SECTION. THAT'S WHY IT WAS MADE IN THE FIRST PLACE. ALSO, DO YOU NOT SEE THE FUCKING TEMPLATE AT THE TOP OF THE ARTICLE? WHY THE FUCK DO YOU THINK THAT WAS ADDED? But angry ranting aside, please stop shitting up this article or it's gonna have to be locked again. ~ endedrural (talk) 19:46, 13 September 2009 (CDT)

[edit] Rickrolling the MTV Awards
Anyways, I think Æ should consider reopening this page and stop calling it an OLD MEME, it's just a meme that yes, it's OLD but it has became part of the popular culture. Just get rid of all those Rickroll parodies and reopen it, just keep an eye on it. Some newfag 23:23, 1 October 2008 (CDT)

- Actually, I would probably vote for Rick Astley even if the Rickroll didn't exist. All of the other choices suck ass. And this is coming from someone who listens to a fair bit of mainstream/pop radio music. But I mean, come on; Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Greenday, Tokio Hotel, and U2 for Best Act Ever? You've gotta be fucking kidding me. Rick all the way, even if it's just to spite the clueless dipshits that nominated the other acts. ~ endedrural (talk)
03:53, 2 October 2009 (CDT)
- Actually, apart from Anon, I think a lot of people are leaning Rick's way just because of how pathetic the 'field is. I mean...MTV are asking for it with a category 'called BEST ACT EVER' acts chosen by their moron user base's 'taste'. As much as I hæt U2 (aka the fake Clash), they arguably belong in a poll like this as longshots and only if The Clash are in it. At least they have the talent to write their own songs and are competent musicians; and they do try to inspire or whatever. This award should be renamed BEST FANBOI ACT OF THE NOW. tl;dr? Rick Astley ftw.

Question, won't they disqualify him if they see over 9000 posts from one IP or something? Seviper 08:02, 5 October 2008 (CDT)
- I think they MTV knows what's up. They're getting tons of publicity for it. Also, it's not like it's that syrys...they let the fans choose the contestants. Best Act Evar - Britney Spears? Tokio Hotel?...c'mon...the whole thing is a joke. They may even let him win. The same 'voting tools' are available to everyone after all. --O☭B • ? • 11:21, 5 October 2008 (CDT)

[edit] one hit wonder?
Astley wasn't a one-hit wonder. He had another hit song, "Together Forever". 2-hit wonder! Insertpunhere 17:48, 4 October 2008 (CDT)
- Actually, I forgot that if you look on JewTube, he had many many different hits, including a ballad or two. He even lasted long enough for him to grow his hair out. Other hits of his include "Cry for Help", "Whenever you need somebody", "Take me to your Heart", "When I Fall in Love", et al. So, he's not a two or even 3 hit wonder. He was just a successful pop star in the Late 80s. I actually remember the song "Together Forever" from my childhood. I think it was in some movie. But whatever. tl;dr My bad. He was quite successful. Insertpunhere 16:16, 7 October 2008 (CDT)
[edit] Rick Astley on Guitar
I didn't know he still performed. Here's a link to a video of a performance he gave just two months ago in Singapore. It's actually a decent performance. Kind of an updated, more soulful version of Never Gonna Give You Up. And he plays a Stratocaster. Who knew he played any instruments? [1] ~ endedrural (talk) 23:32, 4 October 2009 (CDT)

[edit] UK 2008 Christmas #1. In need of EDiots.
Basically, the UK have decided to make Simon Cowell and anybody that enjoys or is involved with talent competitions butthurt by RickRolling the Christmas charts. Okay, so it may not be a Rickroll exactly, but it's on its way. Anyway, they claim to be doing it for the lulz and have 50,000 facebook members so they need over 9000 moar. Could this possibly be done without Encyclopedia Dramatica? I don't think so. So help them make 'Never Gonna Give You Up' their Christmas number 1: www.ultimaterickroll.com

[edit] Barry Manilow WTF?!
Barry Manilow's new CD has his own version of Never Gonna Give You Up, and the album is The Greatest Songs of the Eighties. Naturally I listened to it because c'mon, it's motherfucking Barry Manilow and I must say, I would go gay for him now. If you wanna hear it, click this link and go to the second track for a sneak preview. Barry just made this song sexier than it was before. -
