Remember the Foster's Float from the Macy*s Parade? - Page 12 - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

I found a clip:

I no longer feel bad about not recording it. In fact, I'm disgusted that they pulled this stunt. Way to ruin a parade, people.

LMFAO!

I do believe I've been rick roll'd by the foster's float...

oh my god, I'm laughing so hard. XD

No one can tell me how far in it comes on? It's 10:50 here.

antgirl1 · 11-27-2008, 10:49 AM

...So they thought it would be funny to Rick Roll Foster's?

Eh, Foster's is pretty popular. I'm not that surprised that it would get something like that. When something gets popular, parodies (good and bad alike) are gonna happen.

Wendi · 11-27-2008, 10:54 AM

Sparky! It's about 55 mins in. : )

Oh gosh, I thought it was really clever and funny!

Sparky · 11-27-2008, 11:00 AM

I just got it, I'm editing the file now.

I'd like to know just whose idea that was...GM pointed out that Bloo looked a little pissed, lol.

And now, something you never seen unless you were in person at the parade...

This is the opposite side of the float, and notice Mr. Herriman standing guard as Cheese looks for chocolate milk.

That's a lovely picture, thanks. I was just telling GM how Mr H was on the other side.

Mom and I just saw it on TV a few minutes ago, and I explained my distaste to her and how a lot of fans would be offended....after months without reruns, the float being showed only to Rick Roll us...it's like a kick in the shin.

Ok, I didn't even bother to log on until I saw it. Ugh, living on the West Coast has its curses. So I haven't read any of the above comments yet.

I was watching the parade since it first started, and when they mentioned Rick as one of the performers, my first thought was "You're kidding me! Could it be...??" So I watched and enjoyed it all. When Buzz Lightyear was flying down the street, I suddenly recognized a very familiar shade of orange behind him.

Boo-yah!! And then a very comforting song started playing and I was very happy. I stood up from the sofa and cheered. I did, really.

I wasn't fond of the comment that the friends are "invisible", and that Bloo was "discarded", because he's not. Ah well, I never expected NBC to understand everything about the show. I was delighted that they mentioned, though scarcely, the movie tonight. I liked the song Bloo was singing at first, I know it, but can't remember where it's from. I found it annoying how he was interrupted though. However, that "Never Gonna Give You Up" is very fitting, especially between Mac and Bloo, since of course Mac didn't give Bloo up. And despite his unpopularity, I've always liked Rick, and both his more popular songs so I wasn't disgusted at seeing him on the float. I was more disgusted at Cheese coming up and saying "I like Rick Rolling" at the end.

My apologies to IB for not believing you when you first mentioned this was going to happen.

Oh, and I saw a glimpse of Mr. H for the first time (that I recall). That was cool. I've only seen him in the pictures Lauren shared on her blog two years ago, but never on my TV screen.
