Danish was introduced in the Journal story-line ([[377: Journal 2]]), some time prior to this comic. At first her reaction may not look like Danish, who would normally play it cool like her first appearance. Black Hat, however, is a master and he could know that "not getting Rick rolled" would freak her out even more. Additionally, Danish is seen with Ponytail in [[405: Journal 3]], and in that comic Black Hat also shows that he can get back at her, after she claimed she was better than him in [[377: Journal 2]]. He also tricks her into blowing her own garage up in [[433: Journal 5]], so of course he can trick her, and of course she will hate that he has Rickrolled her. So not doing it, with Rick Astley in her house, would drive her mad, just like Black Hat would love, even if she is his girlfriend. This would also not have happened for a normal girl like [[Megan]], whom Danish resembles. Most people would laugh after being Rickrolled, rather than start fleeing in panic.{{citation needed}} |
The title text refers to the fact that Rickrolling first appeared in 2007 (on {{w|4chan}}) and became viral for over a year. Given that this is a New Year comic, it is thus relevant to ask what meme will replace Rickrolling in the new year, 2009. Although [[Randall]] makes reference to the "[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/xzibit-yo-dawg Xzibit Yo Dawg]" and "[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/i-accidentally I accidentally...]" photocaptioning memes, {{w|memebase}} entries suggest the "Keep Calm and Carry On" meme may well have become the most popular (and most enduring, as of 2013) meme of 2009. | The title text refers to the fact that Rickrolling first appeared in 2007 (on {{w|4chan}}) and became viral for over a year.
