#1 is a pop-up thrown in your face/screen.

Those are great- I love the Virgin one. That one and #1 are far and away the best. Rick-Roll!

If #1 is really about pop-ups thrown in your face, the people who got it must not have Firefox. I can’t remember the last time I had a pop-up.

I don’t know anyone who gets pop ups anymore, this isn’t really an issue or people now, though I understand it is a staple considering it has been an issue for most of the life of our internet. Considering it isn’t really an issue anymore, it doesn’t make it near as funny as the ones above it that should have come first……and the photo itself doesn’t make a lot of sense either….diminishing it’s humor even more. The ones that should have come before it (WITH NO PARTICULAR ORDER INTENDED) #17, #14, and #10.

#1 is funny because it is what is called a Rick Roll–see also Rick Rolling, Rick Roll’d, or Rick Rolled.

Although it wasn’t the first appearance, it was popularized on April Fools day 2008 when all featured videos on YouTube linked to a video of Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up”.

You think your going to see some video, but instead you get Rick Astley.

#1 is funny because there you are going to the door, thinking you’re going to see your grandma or the Mormons and instead you get Rick.

Ha Ha! Analog Rick Roll.

you morons.

#1 is this:

Ding-dong (you’ve got mail)

I wonder what who it is dear?

Hey it’s someone filling my f#$@ing email box with RickRoll videos(or other inane bullshit) it could have been a chain letter or that audio clip of the telemarketer calling the “crime scene”.

Fcuking dipshits. Y’all fail.
