Those... those sick bastards...

[SargentToughie]

So, I was watching the macy's Thanksgiving day parade with my family. It was'nt the most fun I've ever had watching TV, but it was family time and... blah blah blah

In any case, things were going along as normal, Kermet the frog and Pikachu both appear, along with the other usual suspects that could be found at Parades. I'm not even going to try to name all of them for the sake of my sanity, and time... I want to type this OP in a meger 15 minutes. But I'm getting off track, this is'nt why I'm typing this up. So eventually, Cartoon network's float rolls up, and I'm expecting the usual, some lame song with some lame special guest singer that was going to do some lame show before they roll off onto some lame road.

The announcers of the Parade said to 'expect a musical suprise' this only turned the possability of the above mentioned lameness, to a deffinate action... well guess what happened...

Suprise!!!

the group in the Cartoon network float begin to seeing their poorly written little song when suddenly... it happens... the float made that sound that we all know, the one of a record suddenly screeching to a halt, the one that's overused to death time and time again. and from the float... begins to come the noise

it's the techno opener to that song that we all know from one source or another... and some guy in a coat spends the next three minutes poorly lip-sinking 'never want to give you up'

That's right people, Cartoon Network rick rolled the macy's thanksgiving day parade...

I know I'm making a mountain out of a molehill here... but it made me die a little inside. So, I'm going to ask this to you, in a totally intellectual way... Has there ever been a time where somebody pissed you off in that fasion?

Where you did the same thing I did? Getting at least mildly annoied over a seemingly small or unimportant action? And have you seen anybody around you do that? Please share.

I'm sort of paranoid about this thread actually... but I've seen more foolish ones survive, so I'm crossing my fingers about the wellbeing of both this thread and my borderline clean record on here

HaHaHaHaHa!! lol God i wish i lived in America, that is absolutely preciou

EDIT: sorry i wrote that before i read the rest of the text

I get incredibly annoyed with people who can't grasp basic concepts
There's a man called Karl Pilkington
He can't understand that if you got an infinite number of monkeys and put them on type-writers
They would eventually write the complete works of Shakespeare, just through the nature of randomness and chaos theory and other such things
He says "you could believe it if it was just one monkey, he'd know what he'd got wrong after a while"

I just so happen to like that song.
Wish I was there.

HaHaHaHaHa!! lol God i wish i lived in America, that is absolutely precious

It's on YouTube already.
Go, quickly, see it!

 

[Man_In_Gauze]

what's wrong with that? it sounds pretty hilarious, but odd that Cartoon Network of all people would do it.

 

[Mr.Pandah]

Well, personally I think thats an epic maneuver by Cartoon Network.

As far as situations go for me where I made a mountain out of a molehill, just recently my girlfriend and I had been playing Mario Kart 64, nothing out of the ordinary, however, she pulled a completely dick move. She used the lightning bolt on Wario Stadium just as I was going over the gap on that stage. She was fully aware of what she was doing and set out to do just that. Thankfully by the end of the grand prix, we just laughed about it, but when she did it, I was stunned...and very VERY angry.

the guy in question was Rick Astley himself

as for the float thing i think it was brilliant, i'm betting they got the idea from Fark doing it to the New York Mets earlier this year

It's also worth mentioning that one of Karl's brilliant ideas for solving the overpopulation problem is to inject "something" into the temple of a recently deceased person who then de-ages back until their birthday, when they die.

Fucking Lunatic. Every single thing that comes out of his mouth is pure comedic genius.

Okay... It does'nt change the fact that he didd'nt even try to hide the fact that he was lipsinking

Me and johnny are going to the store.

If you think the above sentance is correct you are what angers me (not really though you know what I mean)

It should be:

Johnny and I are going to the store.


For some reason that one little obscure section of English pisses me off, I especially hate it when people purposely make the mistake...arg...

 

[the monopoly guy]

I think they're just jumping on the meme bandwagon and trying to get some cheap laughs.

The only condonable Rickroll is that on Rick Astly himself.

 

[jdog345]

At least Chuck Norris wasn't singing it. Things could be worse.

 

[xitel]

Well, I get really annoyed when teenage pricks say "guac" in Chipotles. It's guacamole, you stupid little hipsters, now go die in a fire.

 

[Lt. Dragunov]

[reaper_2k9]

That was awesome...only Cartoon Network would Rickroll a parade my hats off to you.

The over-corrective application of that rule is immeasurably worse.

You get get shit like "Mom got presents for my sister and I."

True that, closely followed by people who try to sound smart by citing that rule but get it wrond and sound like idiots.

Okay Toughie, you have met my brother and you know what he does.
There is nothing more I need to explain(Just thinking about it pisses me off)
