This is a low-resolution closeup still frame of British singer Rick Astley, taken from his iconic 1987 'Never Gonna Give You Up' music video, the core source of the globally famous Rickroll internet prank. Astley is positioned behind a vintage silver mesh microphone, wearing a dark suit over a white collared shirt, with his head tilted slightly down. He wears a subtle, smug closed-mouth smirk, conveying a teasing, knowing tone. The hazy, purple-tinged background features out-of-focus horizontal window blinds. This frame is commonly used as a reaction meme to signal an upcoming rickroll, or to express smug amusement, teasing, or the feeling of knowing something the audience does not.

This meme features a photograph of an ornate, intricately carved gilded gold frame holding a classical-style painted portrait of 1980s pop singer Rick Astley, the iconic face of the viral 'Rickroll' internet prank. Astley is depicted with closed eyes, standing in front of a vintage microphone as if mid-performance, against a light blue background with abstract grey tree-like patterns. Below the framed painting, white text on a black background presents a formal, old-fashioned English rewrite of the most recognizable lyrics from his hit song 'Never Gonna Give You Up': 'Thy noble heart shall suffer no abandonment, Nor shall I depart and bring thee grief.' The humor derives from the absurd juxtaposition of the famously silly, ubiquitous Rickroll meme subject being presented as a prestigious, highbrow fine art piece, paired with the comically elevated phrasing of the instantly recognizable Rickroll lyrics.

A photograph capturing rapper Pitbull performing in front of a crowd outside a Walmart in Kodiak, Alaska. Pitbull, wearing a white jacket with a fur-lined hood, holds a microphone and smiles broadly, while a man in a green hoodie stands beside him, also smiling. The background shows the Walmart storefront with a sign reading 'Welcome to Kodiak' and a mountainous landscape. The scene reflects the 2012 event where internet users voted to send Pitbull to the remote Alaskan Walmart, and he honored the commitment with a local performance.
