So the Rickrolling was followed by an excellent episode tonight.

The story made up for a bad event.

I was actually there at the parade today (benefits of livin' in the Big Apple) and was dying of anticipation for the Foster's float. When it finally came and Bloo started singing, I breathed a sigh of relief and started to lightly bounce side to side to the song.

But when I heard the first notes of 'Never Gonna Give You Up' and saw Rick Astley himself come out, I bursted into LOUD laughter - so loud that the people all around me turned and gave me a bit of a dirty look. Tsch, screw them! I started dancing to the song, because I absolutely ADORE it. After that, I could hardly concentrate on the rest of the parade, except when Santa came out, of course :bloogrin:.

11/27/08 - The day Foster's and Rick Astley rickroll'd AMERICA. EPIC WIN.

I honestly don't understand why some of you were disappointed, frustrated, or angered by the rickroll. Not only did I think it was awesome, I found it to be the highlight of the parade. But I guess that's just me.

Not for some of us. :P

-_- So I started uploading my float vid just after 11 am. It's 10:30 pm and it was STILL uploading. So I went and reprocessed the file as a wmv instead of an avi and submitted it again. It went through in like two minutes. :jk: Oh well so here it is. (The avi probably would have looked better.)

I don't either. I bursted out laughing when it happened. Though I think if Rick Astley would have dressed up like Mac, it'd be even funnier. It'd be a surprise... Mac getting back at Bloo after all those times. XD

Me, I wasn't disgusted at all. I definitely preferred it to last year's musical performance (which was a case of great choice of song, questionable decision to have Cheese sing the entire thing, for more reasons than one).

Put me down in the "I liked it" column, it's kind of fitting that a show that had not one but two episodes about Internet memes (IE World Wide Wabbit and Blootube) would partake in a stunt like this. It proves some one in the Astley, Macy's or Cartoon Network camp did their homework. (Though boo on the announcer for almost spoiling it when he said something like "If they're not careful, the gang could be joined by a surprise musical guest".)

And speaking of which I think that something like this could be more or less the end of Rickrolling, because as World Wide Wabbit taught us. The joke more or less ceases to be funny when the subject of said joke is officially in on it.

What'd I tell you!? We got Rick Rolled!

Invader Bloo, I'm not the first to say "You told us so..."

But "You told us so."

We got Rickrolled!
