A Lemmy home for super-classy memes featuring or alluding to popstars.
The basic rules apply:
- Don't put anything here you wouldn't put elsewhere on PopTalk. Keep it clean and don't be a dick.
- Stay on topic. We like both kinds, pop and music.
Beyond that, run away with memes!

To pile on, I was a fan when it came out. Seemed pretty popular back then.
Was number 1 in the charts in the UK and the USA...and 23 other countries. I think it was the biggest selling single of the year in the UK too. Where the meme works though, for all its success, iit was quite ridiculed at the time.
This is a scene in an episode of Family Guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsC8jQXRbQE
Glad someone else caught this.
This is literally a Family Guy bit.
And that episode predates Rick Rolling
Weirdly this episode aired in May 2007 which was just after Rickrolling started in March 2007. It's unlikely Family Guy was influenced by Rickrolling as it's written quite some time before being animated.
