The End Of Rick Rolling
It's over now. Shhhhh. It's all over.
A few years ago, I was eating brunch with my family, because my family does not play games. My mom was talking about how much she liked a new grocery store called Hiller's for its wide selection and clean, bright layout. She then said "Hiller's is da bomb." That was when I knew that the expression "da bomb" was officially finished. It had probably died much earlier, but nothing pumps a couple extra lame-bullets into the bleeding-out corpse of an antiquated slang term like using it to talk about a GROCERY STORE. And that's how I feel now about Rick Rolling and this video. At the point where it becomes a cute moment that a proud dad captures of his toddler to send around to friends, the modern equivalent of a wallet full of baby photos, it's done. The meme has outlived its usefulness. It is literally child's play.
That being said, I would be perfectly happy if the next Rick Roll was just a video of a baby pointing at the camera and gleefully shouting "I GOT YOU. I GOT YOU."

ugh. I played in some club soccer leagues in high school and in every damn game, without fail, there was always some dad on the sidelines who would shout "you go girl!" archetype.
