I didn’t hear when they announced him at the beginning, so I actually was surprised! Hilarious!

Now that I think about it. Nobody would have known it was actually him if they hadn’t announced it. I would have just thought it was some guy with bad hair lip-syncing.

Would have been way funnier if it wasn’t announced and he would have put some effort into it. Or if the characters had been more excited.

Everyone lip synchs the parade. We thought it was hilarious considering we’ve been rick-rolled checking out the teasers for the upcoming Nip/tuck season.

I think this rickrolling is so dumb…I think Astley started it to get out of Obscurity land. Anywho, he didn’t look that bad except I think he was wearing a bad toupee…oh yeah, obvious lip syncing.

I didn’t hear the announcement, so I was not aware he would be there. When I heard the music, I just face-palmed and started laughing. Point for Macy’s.

It was pretty lame,
He lip-synced the entire thing, and it wasn’t a good rick roll at all, there was no element of surprise. The Tv totally announced that he was performing, personally I feel they ruined rick rolling entirely.

Eh. He was barely “dancing,” if that’s what you want to call it, and he has a bad haircut. Nice lip-syncing job though.

Well, I guess this proves that with the power of Internet memes a singers career can be brought back to life on National TV.

Yes, I agree with the article that now we can all move on with our lives.

-2 points for Rick Astley’s obvious lip-syncing.

I agree on the bit about it probably appearing in Reader’s Digest soon. I can imagine this popping up in the Sunday paper’s Parade section as a “new phenomenon”.

Would’ve been funnier if they hadn’t announced beforehand that Astley would be performing during the parade….
