On the Subject of Rickrolls

I've decided to take this opportunity to declare the death of Rickrolling. It's not that I'm against the concept of pranks per se, it's just that I'm tired of seeing that happy asshole sing and dance. If it happens again, I may pull an Elvis and shoot my computer with a .45. So I'd like to hear some suggestions for a replacement for the Rick Astley video. I'm open to anything, however offensive or even annoying; Brazilian fart porn, that video of a Marine throwing a puppy off a cliff, that "Leave Britney alone" guy, Chocolate Rain, whatever. Or, as an alternative, you could even make it something that doesn't suck. Here's my nominee:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwm-vxGgFf4

Except "Hammerrolling" doesn't really roll off the tongue very well.

I thought about it, I really did, but I decided that would be too obvious. Besides, that has-been, or never-was, has gotten way too much free publicity as it is.

I think this is better than chocolate rain or tapping acoustics... My vote is for this.

McRolling - you have no imagination RhynoD, it is your weakness.

Ah, I see now.

How's this for imagination?: Buttrolling (http://youtube.com/watch?v=fbGkxcY7YFU).


Edit: Apparently I was beaten to the word "buttrolling", as the video description already says "Buttroll a friend today!"

So instead: Rollingdansen (http://youtube.com/watch?v=UX6e7sO1ss0)

Look at you, can't make up your mind, desperately trying to be imaginative but unsure, afraid, worrying about your reputation.

For shame.

I was thinking of going for the Macarena but the start isn't too strong and, well I got a little lost watching the girls but how's about this...

I second that, the McRoll (http://youtube.com/watch?v=C3RJixZ2T04) gets my vote. Besides, "McRoll" sounds good :D

Exactly why it works.

Also, there are several thousand different versions with any number of characters dancing. Even Master Chief.

If thats how you feel then it's working as intended.

[Noun]rolling has turned into another viral epidemic like "Reality Television." We might not be able to kill "Reality Television" now, but give us some hope and let this die.

Edit: Apparently I was beaten to the word "buttrolling", as the video description already says "Buttroll a friend today!"
So at work today a coworker got on his managers' computer and brought that video up, since he wants to share the love.
That, and the video for Puscifer's "Country Boner". *nods*
As said before ... "I'm Into Something Good!"
