I find that this is a good guideline on what is considered a worthwhile post.
Whatever that video was, I should probably be glad my school enforces Youtube restrictions. What was it? A rickrolling attempt?

EDIT NOPE, was not a rickrolling attempt according to my way of getting around the filter (Saveitoffline.com)
EDIT: for instance, your use of rickrolling in this thread was much better, because you created expectations and then dashed them upon the cruel rocks of rick astley's hairdo
I don't know ISG27, from this understanding of rickorolling it was textbook. It set up an expectation/hope of sincerity which was dashed on video loading.
Technically I didn't load the video, only looked at it's title. 5 hours of ...

Implying that bog-standard rickrolling isn't shitposting at this point? It's less creative and thought-provoking than answering Darude - Sandstorm when someone asks what a song is.

It's well beyond evoking any emotion, even annoyance, delving into the abyss of mild apathy. Getting rickrolled is the online equivalent of someone you barely know telling you about something they claim is interesting that turns out to be dull, but not even dull enough for you can recount the experience to someone else later in the vein of "can you believe how boring they are?" The grey, empty chaff that fills the cracks of existence. A digital manifestation of the essence of ennui. That's what rickrolling is these days.

Yeah, the threshold of using a meme successfully rises as it ages. At this point, one needs an absolutely perfect moment to rickroll someone and have it be funny. They are very rare, and it takes a certain brilliance to notice one of those moments.

I found my rifles magazine disassembled. The spring is missing. I am deeply upset. The rifle itself is fine. But I don't even know if I can load it through any other means, or if the spring will ever turn up in one piece. I'll probably have to replace it.

Psychological horror was a user-defined tag.

I mean, seriously. Regardless of the reviews it has, regardless of anything else, psychological horror on a comedy game. That tells you something about the quality of things.

The Avril Lavigne one certainly belongs in this thread.

Luna Haruna... never heard of her before, but damn she's actually pretty hot. Also, I think it's the one singing in a piece I found years ago but didn't have a title or singer for(still don't have the title) that's been bugging the crap out of me.
