Hilarious. His performance on those specials is in the pantheon.

I can't listen to Rick Astley without thinking of Bill Hicks profane monologue about late-80's pop music and popstars singing jingles for Diet Coke.
"Never gonna give you up, never gonna make you cry, Diiiiiiet Co-ho-oke for-ever."
(That's not the really funny part of the bit, but it's too raunchy even for the FB.)
Those "I love the 80's" specials are addictive. You turn on the TV, it's 1982, and 5 hours later you think to youself, "Well, I've already invested most of the evening, I can make it to '89. Plus, Traci Lords will announce the hunks of 1987 after the next commerical break!"
I can't wait for "I love the 90's: 1994" with in-depth analysis of Melrose Place by Patton Oswald and Aisha Tyler.
