"Psych" And Rick Astley: Two Great Tastes That Taste Great Together
null - Watch more free videos
Psych is one of the best shows on television you're not watching. Basically, Shawn is not a psychic but he had to pretend to be one in the pilot to get out of trouble with the cops...he notices everything because he was trained by his retired cop father to grow up and be a detective. Only he grew up to be a loser, until he started pretending to be psychic. Not only is it funny, not only is James Roday the hawtness, not only does it have The Best Theme Song Currently On TV (I have it on my mp3 player), but in the Tuesday The 17th episode, it got rickrolled. Sort of. Dude!
This part doesn't have the prologue, where there is always a flashback, but here's the back story: Shawn and Gus (the two guys in the clip, best friends since grade school) went to summer camp every year where they always paired up in the Camp Pinata Contest. Well, one year Gus teamed up with golden boy Jason Cunningham and won with a pineapple pinata (you search for the pineapple in every episode) while Shawn, who made a pinata in the likeness of Rick Astley, got stuck working with the kid who wore a jacket all week (complete with obligatory Star Wars reference). Shawn got so mad at Gus that he drowned his Rick Astley pinata in the lake with a chain anchored to a rock. Which leads to the theme song, which leads to this opening clip.
Oh, and if you ever wondered what happened to Mallory from Family Ties, she makes an appearance in this episode. That's all I'm gonna say.
The whole episode is a takeoff on the Friday The 13th movies. You have to watch this show! Srsly. It's on Friday nights, 10 PM EST, USA Network. Set your DVR. You can also watch episodes online at the link above.
Oh, the Reese's Cups reference in the title? I dunno, it's just how my brain works.
In between the lines there's a lot of obscurity
I'm not inclined to resign to maturity...
That's my motto...be good this weekend, I'm outta here!
