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.
