PAX 2008 - Jonathan Coulton rickrolls the audience

[WuzitWorthit]

Mass Rick Roll

[Paranitis]

@MrComputerhacker12 I was born in 82. That's not even a Rick Roll to me. It's just a great song. XD

[Dethenger]

@MrComputerhacker12

You know, I heard that there's no percussion in the song. The opening is actually just the sound of your soul shattering.

[3befreaky1]

You can hear the crowd chating "want you gone", all of a sudden OWNED!!!!!

[d4m4s74]

@MrComputerhacker12

I've memorized the full lyrics

[PrincessMononokee]

"wtf i dont get it...:"

[DJKingPanda]

[Hagermanly]

@warriormonkey03 Well, reporters can too. But either way, I plan to become part of the Gaming Industry when I come of age.

[nightdaughter1]

[MrVictorClark]

I love how one guy in the audience was just clapping to the music thinking it will make everyone else clap. And then he stopped knowing it won't work. A nice little fail in an epic win.

[TheVideoAnalyst]

Wow, that's the first time ever I've seen an entire group of people actually GET an internet joke. Epic.

[metamaterial]

Cheering while flipping the bird... the middle fingers sway like ironic lighters.

[markthewhalekiller]

Hyahahaha, this was when the Rickroll was at the height of its relevance. Ah, brilliant.

[Matt561]

omg thats awesome

[Hooken7]

lol at all the people giving Jon Coulton the Finger.

[LiftedShadows]

So at 1:08, they definitely throw up devil horns. For Rick. NICE. xD

[JasonvonEvil83]

That had to set a new record for most people rickroll'd at once.

[Misanthropye]

Everyone at the opener for the NY Mets got rickrolled once. I think that'd be the record.

[JasonvonEvil83]

For what, the fewest people? Bazinga!

[ShadeValryn]

yeah, but were they actually rolled? like, were they tricked or fooled? or was it simply played?

[deathman1412]

ya dont remember the macy's day parade.. they rickrolled the entire US lol

[DaveThePuppetGuy]

@deathman1412: Does macy's still have the record for must epic rick roll?

[deathman1412]

pretty sure they do not sure lol

[shadowray77]

You forgot, Rick Astely Rick Rolled everyone watching the Thanks Giving parade last year so he currently has the record right now.

[GrayVizard]

@shadowray77 idk does the thanks giving day parade have more viewers then family guy (remember the time travel episode)

JoCo is so AWESOME!!

[RunForTheHill]

lololololo

[JTurnblat]

Rick Rolling isn't funny anymore... except for when it's done like this, by a guy like JoCo.

[InvaderKap]

Funny is subjective. Perspective is everything in determining things like this, and so there is no way to make a logical argument that something "sucks" or "rocks." I also recognize that you are stating your opinion. When you state your opinion, please using the phrase "in my opinion" or something of the sort. Of course, I could be totally wrong; maybe it's implied and I'm just not in on the secret, in which case I apologize.

[JTurnblat]

I'm just saying that rickrolling jumped the shark after last April Fool's Day, but the way it was performed in this video was actually pretty funny. I like how my comment got two thumbs down even though I said I liked this particular rickroll, simply because two people disagreed with my opinion on rickrolling as a whole. This is why YouTube comments are the most fucked up form of internet communication.

[InvaderKap]

Oooooohhhh. So you're talking about in GENERAL. Sorry, I assumed the wrong thing. >D

And yes, it was.

And I don't disagree with your opinion, I just disagree with the act of stating an opinion as a fact. In fact, I don't particularly find rickrolling funny, either. But this here was indeed hilarious.

And yes, they are the most f*cked up form of internet communication. Arg.

[JTurnblat]

Well I'm glad we could resolve this peacefully.

[NinjaMoogle218]

They kept rolling! Holy shit!

There's audience participation! Holy shit!

Why the fuck was I not there?

Oh, right... money. Yeah, Dallas to Seattle plus 3 days at PAX would have been really costly.

[commercialtape]

They REALLY shouldn't have pressed that button... ;D

[resilientkid]

They even started singing along with it XD
