And the winner is... RICK ROLL

A practical joke that could only be born out of the humor that lives and breathes within the confines of your browser, Rick Rolling was 2008's most ubiquitous meme, and one that continues to find new life in the weirdest places. The premise -- your clicking on a recommended link that would only lead you to [womp womp!] lite FM troubadour Rick Astley's music video for Never Gonna Give You Up -- is nothing less than a phenomenon. After Rick literally took a national stage at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, (and several Trend Death attempts) we're finally ready to lay this meme to rest. Are you ready to let go, Internet?
