Gawker
Today all the "featured video" links on YouTube's front page actually link to this video of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up," and thus the Internet's weakest prank (OMG I sent you a blank music video instead of what you wanted) dies its thousandth death. I checked 4chan, birthplace of the Rickroll, to see how they were handling the popular acceptance of their joke.
Incidentally, "dickbutt" is 4chan's latest meme. That's all the meme is: writing "DICK BUTT." I hope it gets as popular as LOLcats and Rickrolls.

They totally stole that from my 6th grade avant-garde poetry project.
Pssst. Somebody? Do it.
Do what? The dickbutt thing? Ok -- this escapes me.
@donmiguel: Ahahaahaha dickbutt!
Yeah I don't get it either.
Wait. You hope DICK BUTT gets as popular as LOLcats and Rickrolls? DICK BUTT is a new thing? Like LOLcats? But just those two words?
But the Underpants Gnomes shout-out deserves some credit.
@fiveinchtaint: I kid! Because yes, that's the "trend": just say "DICK BUTT" in a forum thread. By the geniuses who brought you LOLcats, Rickrolls, and wearing the Guy Fawkes masks from "V" as a form of protest.
@Nick Douglas: Ah - gotcha. I wasn't fucking with you, by the way - mine were serious questions. Now it's clear. But you better have our backs if we get executed for this on a future thread!
hmmm, DICK BUTT
Is something supposed to happen now?@fiveinchtaint: I hope it isn't secret for "please execute me now"
even better, at deviantart all avatars were replaced with mudkipz.
the rage that followed was intense.
but hey, someone musta herd that we liek mudikipz at deviantart.
BUTT DICK
Suck it, Internet!
@Nick Douglas:
you do realize 4chan is responsible for every major meme ever.
now, i'm going back to /hc/ for some raven riley vids.
p.s. newfag.
@mathnet: COCK ASS.
Wasn't "wearing the Guy Fawkes masks from "V" as a form of protest" started by...V for Vendetta?
@Conbon: HEINEY WEEN
Dear World,
How do you spell 'heiney?'
Best,
Mathnet
@raincoaster:
shhhh. you're going to tip him off to pop culture!
@mathnet: Penis Buttocks.
@mathnet: I'll go with that spelling.

"Schmekel Tuckus" is more phonetically pleasing.
Conbon == Nick Douglas? Say it ain't so....
You are aware that 'DICK BUTT' isn't new, right?
Is this some form of modern sarcasm I'm not aware of?
Goddamnit, I asked you not to create the new sarcasm without me...
I have neither the time nor the stomach to wade into the cesspit that is 4chan, so I'd really like to know whether Jeffrey Rowland is gonna do a "DICK BUTT" (phallus pyge?) comic in a few weeks or what. I don't not pay you guys for nothing, you know.
@onetruetweedle:
again, stop assuming he knows pop /b/ culture.
@swizzard:
btw, you suck.
Boy oh boy, my friend Richard Butts and I are going to have a chuckle over this tomorrow at Sbarro. (I don't know.)
I just spent the past two hours digging around at 4chan. Pretty harmless overall, except for some comments. Lots of DICK BUTT and crazy racism. The creepiest thing I found was on /x/ - someone linked to that Noroi horror mockumentary on youtube. Scary.
@Nick Douglas: LEARN TO PARSE
@MercuryPDX: It's a cruel, cold world.
can I hez dick?lol butt
@MercuryPDX: OMG!11!!1
@pufflehuff: The comment is coming from inside the Gawker!
4chan is to the internet, as dadaism is to art. Weird for the sake of weird.
DICK BUTT
But what if you've already dick butted? WHAT THEN!?
do a barrel roll
But... Dick?
Oh crap.
