Everyone has been Rick Rolled at this point. If you haven't, click this link and I'll take your virginity away. I would argue that it was annoying and old before it even started, but still, it was an internet phenomenon. So my question to you is, what do you think will be the next Rick Roll?
Why am I sharing this with you? Because my co-worker put it in my head and I think that sharing it might get it out.

You know the only problem with that one is it starts off so slow. A good Rick Roll type link needs an instant "punch" imho; that's where most of the humor (such as it is) comes from.
Now, if there were a version of the video that cut straight to the super-irritating chorus, I would agree 100%. (I actually have a candidate of my own, but I'll have to post it later. Off to work for the moment.)

Peter: If you could be stranded on a desert island with any woman in the world, who would it be?
Quagmire: Taylor Hanson.
Joe Swanson: Taylor Hanson is a guy.
Quagmire: [Laughs] You guys are yankin' me. "Hey, let's put one over on Quagmire."
Peter: No, he's actually a guy, Quagmire.
Quagmire: What? That's insane. That's impossible.
[Pause]
Quagmire: Oh God. Oh my God. I've got all these magazines. Oh God.

Syd's hamster dance is perfect for harassment lol. But for a modern Rick Roll, I don't think you can top this:
Shivers... fucking shivers.
Yep. Perfect, no? It has all the necessary elements of a good Rick Roll: instantly recognizable (and irritating) intro, and the even MORE horrible vocals start almost right away too, probably before the person can click out of it. PLUS, its the fucking Jonas Brothers. It can't get any better (meaning worse) than that. I think I'm gonna start using it lol.

if that didn't have the intro it would be a good replacement
You just linked the Jonas Brothers to PETA... Done the other way around this might have been priceless.

My only fear is that linking this shit may make me look gay. I this this may be more appropriate in about 10 years.
