You're at a basketball game. Your team may be winning. But then - Rick Astley.

Rick Astley link is borked, unless you're inventing some new type of Rick-Metafilter-roll.

The 20 second intro almost killed it for me.

Donald Rumsfeld just looked bored. So did everyone else.

xenu.net at the end? I guess it's all in a good cause!

Huh. A link to one of the least funny videos on youtube, and a link to the front page of metafilter. You have crafted a masterpiece here, plexi, and I feel deeply unworthy to be in your presence.

Apparently Metafilter is the new rickrolling.

Metarolling your Ricks, or how scientology ruined my slam dunk cred!

(Though it's somewhat refreshing to my bitter little dark heart to see some of the audience amused and entertained by the happenings or even joining. As opposed to all the cringeworty assfaces during that "improv" food court musical from that other thread.)

I enjoyed it, but then again, I'm considering leaving a hefty chunk Ampersand estate to Astley if he personally RickRolls my funeral.

If he pops out of the casket, he can have it all.

To be fair, there are a lot of videos on YouTube less funny than this. But most of them aren't meant to be funny.

Will it re-darken and reimbitter your heart if I point out that it appears that this footage is cut together from a number of different cameras, which may or may not have been, y'know, actually shooting in the same place at the same time.

I'm not saying I think it's fake. I'm just saying it's a possibility.
