I hate April Fools Day pt 3: Yuck it up, YouTube

Posted by Chris Spags on April 1st, 2008 at 11:07 am

I wish April Fools Day had cervical cancer. These opening snippets are getting less punchy. Anyway I’m monitoring for crapty April Fools jokes because I’m your comedy hero.

A look at any of YouTube‘s featured videos linked on the home page today gets you this gem. Surprise, it’s not the video you wanted to see, but rather you’ve been RICK ROLLED. By which I mean subjected to the Rick Astley “Never Gonna Give You Up” video.

Note: Astute observer and man-about-town Mike sent me this tip and said to look at featured videos. I then went through the video tab on the top of the page. This meant that I sat through the ATROCIOUS “Awful and Awesome” video below not once, but TWICE, waiting for the “Rick Roll”. And it never happened. So I had to watch that dumb foreign C ramble about words for 4 minutes. Ugh. Perhaps it is I who is the greatest fool of all.
