RICK ROLLED!

How the hell did you post before me?

Skill, hun... Skill. You have seen the Youtube April Fool's joke, right? ;)

Indeed I have. That's why I knew I had to get this out early before anyone else got the idea. <.<

You got Rat-rolled!

XD
sweetness

Funnily enough I was expecting the thumbnail to be a rickroll.
Seems it was, a bit more literally! :D

So predictable, but not -that- predictable.

omfg rickroll art! XD

Doing my part to drive a meme into the ground!

Best april fool's joke I saw this year.

And that means something...

Why thank you, I appreciate it. :)

*Does the rick astley wiggle*

DAMN YOU

Win get

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

OH CRAP

SHITE

Dammit, I can't escape this. My brother was talking to me about Rick Roll on Saturday and I can't get it out of my head, now this! What have I done to deserve this?

You know damned well what you did to deserve this.

Nuuuuuu! Rick Ratsley! Run away!!!!

*laughs* Rick Ratsley, I like that.

Amen *Bows* :P

Arghh, rick-rolled again! -mock expression of utter shock-

Rick Rolled :<

Oh God, no! No! No no no! Ah! God! No!

Oh yes, yes yes yes yes, god yes.

OMFG!!!! i never thought i was going to get RICK ROLLED here!!! XD

Our chief weapon is surprise, surprise and Rick Ashley. Two weapons.

It's Everett McGill!

Technically, isn't liking that song a gay test in and of itself? ]:8P or have I heard wrong about that guy being gay?

D: Oh goddamit XD

There's rainbows shooting out of my screen. Fuck.

Rock. On.

YOU BITCH! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU RICKROLLED ME! >_<!!!

I'm a bastard.

Ahahaha that was great!












You bastard.

*bows with a florish*

Good characterization, Beachfox. I can easily see Rick Astley in your rendition, esp. the muzzle work and the mid-dance-step pose.
It's too possible that Rick's gotten more milage out of this song now that it's a gag, than it ever had as an actual pop hit.

I'm very glad you think so. i spent far too long over that hair and pose. Not to mention getting the first eight seconds of that song embedded in my head forever.

They actually had an interview with him the other day. He seems bemused by it all. (And refuses to try and cash in on it, because "No one likes their parent trying to join in on the joke"). Classy guy.

Au Contrair, Beachfox.
You got the pose and the hair just right. Therefore, you spend *exactly* as much time on them as you needed. Trust me, I know all about overworking a creation to death. You certainly didn't do that here.
I also liked the song when it first came out. But that standard-issue drum-machine they had for *every* American dance songs during that period has gotten somewhat on my nerves, since.

Well I'm glad you think so, thanks. :) And yeah, there are a couple of insturment choices from that era that tend to... stand out more now then they did at the time. Not unlike cowbells a decade or two earlier.

"that tend to... stand out more now than they did at the time"
Isn't that diplomatic?
I had a friend at the time who simply loved Donna Summers' "This Time I Know It's For Real", another popish dance tune, which upon reflection was probably written by the same person what wrote Rick's now-infamous ditty. While a lovely song and certainly period, that tune now also gets old quickly.

"Isn't that diplomatic?"

I try to be. It's the same reason why I tend to keep my iTunes on constant shuffle. Listening to the same band three or four songs in a row tends to make all the music blur together. The similarities between them quickly outpace the differences.

I've been rickrolled!

*Ha-ha*

I think that your RickMouse needs to meet Kat Zonday.

XD pwned!

Fully 100% appreciate teh awesomeness lol

I live to serve. :)

^^;; *sings along*

xD

*dances*

*hipwiggles in time*

Oh my fucking god...

I just got Rick Rolled...

man i couldn't get the "toy's r us" theme out of my head with that...

Eh? Why that?

"never gonna grow up, i'm a toys r us kid"
the first line hit me at a glance

Rick rolled yet again! And april fools is 2 days over!

Man...everyone rick rolled me the other day...You know UltraJMan on Youtube, that really popular gamer guy who does "lets plays" of videogames?

.....*Sigh* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=640WmPMaGbA

Considering that YouTube had every Featured Video on their main page linked to a RickRoll, it's only fair.

Besides, at least you can rest easy knowing that the meme should be well and dead by next year. :)

You gain a level. Your AWE (Awesomeness) goes up by 2. You gain 3 points in your Mad Skillz.

In the treasure chest you find a BO Staff of Rick Rolling +4 in a nice shade of purple, you've found Phat Lewt!

*does his levelup pose* You're too kind.

Awesome, and I should mention I love this song. Got the CD right next to me.

It is quite an enjoyable tune, regardless of it's current usage. :)

yeah, personally I don't get where it started being used like this for.

Well, there was this earlier meme called "Rabbit Rolled" where you got randomly linked to a video of a rabbit on some wheeled thing rolling around. Then someone did a "Rick Roll" instead. I think the utter randomness of it all is part of the experiance. It is for me, at least.

LOL, why does it always come back to us. First I heard of it was on the City of Heroes forums. I bet I was the only one who clicked the link and stayed to watch the whole vid cause I loved the song and vid

Oh hell, the City of Heroes boards have Rick_Ashley with the link in his sig for cripes sake. :) Well yeah, which is why I figured it needed a proper tribute. :)

I dont get it.

It's a take-off on the classic Rick-Roll meme/prank http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rickroll But turned into a picture for April Fools.

DAMN! Rick Roll'd again! xD

So sorry. ^.^

YES! FUCKIN YES!

Is it okay that I am sending this to people to rick roll them >.>

It's what it's here for! ;)

I'll have you know that you suck.

Thank you. ;)

YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Honestly? I don't care if it makes sense! The art is great and what can I say? That's one good-looking rat with retro style.

Even if you don't get the reference (and hurrah for you for managing to avoid the RickRoll), I'm glad you enjoyed. Many thanks for the feedback. :)
