  Took me a couple of minutes to place this one — christ, all these Disney barely legal slutbags look like dead-eyed mannequins.

  I’d give it a “5″. It’s got a beat and you can cringe to it.

  Holy Foley !

• 5 joshpincusiscrying // Jun 10, 2008 at 5:59 am

  okay. I give up.
  Who is Ashley Tisdale?

• 6 thefifthbeatle // Jun 10, 2008 at 6:09 am

  Ashley Tisdale looks like she would have the “Tori Spelling voice”, doesn’t she?

  Like omagad, my new shoes are so totally hat…

• 7 Dylan // Jun 10, 2008 at 6:26 am

  I actually wouldn’t mind if she did 2girls1cup. As in, eat shit, Ashley Tisdale.

• 8 JohnnyBoy // Jun 10, 2008 at 7:28 am

  I thought an Ashley Tisdale was a type of English Sportscar

• 9 JohnnyBoy // Jun 10, 2008 at 9:03 am

  All Your Ashley Are Belong To Tisdale

  OK, New Rule (with apologies to Bill Maher)
  Before taking the time to say that you don’t know who someone is, check Google or Wikipedia instead. That way you can participate in the discussion. I mean, you’re already ON THE INTERNET.

  Revised comment:

  I thought an Ashley Tisdale was a type of English Sportscar, but upon checking Google or Wikipedia, I discovered that she is not.

  JB-
  Not you so much.

• 13 JohnnyBoy // Jun 10, 2008 at 11:20 am

  I know, I was being silly.

  I look first, THEN play dumb

• 14 JohnnyBoy // Jun 10, 2008 at 11:23 am

  Actually, there were a few points-o-note re Ashley Tisdale:

  Related to Ron Popeil
  Was Giant Orange Head in the Fruit-Gushers commercial

• 15 joshpincusiscrying // Jun 10, 2008 at 11:32 am

  Well, I took the scolding and I looked up “Ashley Tisdale” on Wikipedia. Now I choose to revise my original comment.
  Who gives a fuck about Ashley Tisdale!
  That’s what I meant to say.

• 16 JohnnyBoy // Jun 10, 2008 at 11:35 am

  I started writing a parody of Bowie’s Ashes to Ashes, but only got as far as “Astley to Astley, Ash to Mouthly” before giving up

• 17 John Foley // Jun 10, 2008 at 11:56 am

  joshpincus-
  Now THAT is the appropriate response.

• 18 Letty Cruz // Jun 10, 2008 at 12:16 pm

  Wiki? That’s for Folies who think it’s accurate; and my nails were freshly done — why bother searching for a skank when so many are ready and willin ;*

• 19 Andre // Jun 10, 2008 at 12:53 pm

  OK I give up.

  Who is John Foley?

• 20 Andre // Jun 10, 2008 at 12:54 pm

  And Wikipedia is no help at all…

  “OK, New Rule…”

  Who made JF the rule-making guy?

  and you know, the phrase, “Okay, I give up, who is ___?” is NOT always an admission of ignorance. It can also be a passive statement of being un-tainted by knowledge of the celebrity/politician/gadfly in question.

• 22 fabulouskelp // Jun 10, 2008 at 3:18 pm

  John Foley, first bishop of Detroit, for whom Bishop Foley Catholic High School in Madison Heights, Michigan is named

  I attended that HS and had no idea i was 1 degree away from JF.

  Mmmm, It’s interesting to see the progression of the Rickroll. It’s actually rather beautiful, in the same random, flowing way a Lava Lamp is, to see the new groups of people who learn of it, enjoy it, quickly grow tired of it, then finally react with eye-rolling disgust as the next group finds it, and begins the cycle anew. Let me see if I can throw together a loose timeline… please, anyone correct me if I’m wrong in my order.

  1. The Rickroll created on 4chan’s /v/ board, as an extra-annoying variation of the Duckroll. Funny for exactly 5.273 seconds.

  2. It Migrates to 4chan /b/. Becomes wildly popular overnight. Becomes a certified meme, and is beaten like the proverbial dead horse. The /b/tards have many hearty lulz over their new plaything while the /v/irgins roll their eyes and stroke their goatees in disdain.

  3. The Rickroll is brought to SomethingAwful, where those Lords of the Internet known as “Goons” dismiss it with a wave of their ring-encrusted hands. It never catches on there, except occasionally, and only in an ironic capacity. Around the same time, it creeps into sites like YTMND and Newgrounds. However, these creepings go largely unnoticed, as the users of these sites were too busy making Chocolate Rain remixes.

  4. It begins to go mainstream, as certain high-level meta sites take notice of this “hilarious Youtube phenomenon”. I believe the first meta site to do this was Reddit. It takes off.

  5. Mainstreaming reaches critical mass with mentions in web-based news publications, a petition for a Wikipedia page, and finally, some real-life pieces in the old media, including some newspapers writing it up in their “Tech Beat” sections or whatever. Some show on G4 has the dubious honor of being the first to mention it on television.

  6. The Rickroll officially and irrevocably jumps the shark when Carson Daly Rickrolls the audience on his allegedly “comedic” late-night talk show. Much nerd rage ensues.

  7. The Rickroll is fully mainstream. Thick-haired bubbleheads on morning shows across the country do pieces on it. Rick Astley is asked about it in an interview. Low-rung meta sites like FARK and Digg catch on to it and are thoroughly entertained. The Mets become no strangers to love.

  8. And finally, we now have RadioDisney Robo-bims doing covers of it cuz its, like, soooo random and junk. Lol, internet.

  Sometime in the near future, in a mud hut on the African savanna, a lone bushman will connect his brand new DSL line to his $100 GreenPeace laptop. Receiving an email from his cousin in Ghana, he clicks on a link that promises a video tutorial on new farming techniques. He reacts with a mixture of puzzlement and amusement when he instead sees a washed-up 1980s pop singer gyrating on a stage. The gods must truly be crazy.

  And somewhere in a Disney-owned studio, Ashley Tisdale rolls her eyes and smirks.

  Exfoleyating !

  Now that I’ve made the tragic error of listening (to about 40 whimpering lost-forever seconds’ worth), I don’t WANT to know who Ashley Tisdale is … I just want her to stop singing & go to her natural habitat, i.e., find a brass pole to hump or a lap to undulate on - ASAP.

  I actually have a soft spot for that tune - call me tacky - so the snarl this puts on my face would make Chuck Norris cry. There may be such a thing as good Techno, but this sure the fuck is not it.

  Eccchhh.
