A Desperate Attempt to Ride a Meme’s Coattails
Contemplating an alternative to Rickrolling, I have decided to try to start flipsiding. It’s not that the Rickroll isn’t sufficient as an artful prank all its own; it’s just that I love that video. Peppy music plus embarrassingly ridiculous visuals does it for me in all its forms.

My girlfriend reminded me of this show recently, actually. She tried asking friends and family if anybody remembered that show where the band gets sucked into another dimension through a mirror, and the best anyone could come up with was that maybe she was misremembering Captain N: The Gamemaster.
Then she showed me the video, and I became a believer.
