Kris Jenner Is Rick Astley 2.0: Momager's 'Krissed' Takes Internet by Storm

By Alexandria Reeves

Kris Jenner became the new generation's Rick Astley, and it is all because of the #Krissed trend.

After decades of the "Rickrolled" era, Jenner became the latest meme online after a new trend featured the momager instead.

The online prank has been spreading on TikTok and other social media sites. It involves false information about celebrities before showing a sped-up version of the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star's "Lady Marmalade" dance.

The viral clip in question features Jenner wearing a green dress and black bow tie on the set of the Kardashian-Jenners' 2011 family Christmas card photo shoot. Both Kendall and Kylie Jenner's YouTube channels had the clip.

With that, the hashtag #Krissed already reached 244.1 million views, and both celebrities and internet users joined the trend.

@shesjustsadig You’d think it’d be good for the publicity. Not that the queen needs it #krisjennervibes #nothappy #JDSummerDrip #krissed ♬ original sound - wandakardashian

One of the viral videos includes a Photoshopped photo of Kendall's Instagram account, claiming that the supermodel announced she is pregnant. Jenner then popped out of nowhere and danced to the tune of "Lady Marmalade."

JoJo Siwa personally created a bait to prank her 41.7 million TikTok followers. She jokingly announced she would be on a hiatus, but the momager reappeared on the screen again.

The trend was started by user @wandakardashian. The first post had a photo of Kim and her children with the caption, "I can't believe Pete did this to Kim, she was so happy with him."

Once again, it included the same video of Jenner dancing.

Goodbye, Rickroll?

Before #Krissed surfaced, Rick Astley dealt with the "Rickroll" meme that caused him to struggle instead.

The rickroll, or rickrolling, is a prank in which someone shows a part of the music video for Astley's hit 1987 song, "Never Gonna Give You Up."

The meme was originated from duckrolling in 2006 on the forum site, 4Chan. It then evolved into Rickrolling after "Grand Theft Auto IV" was released. The trend also made Astley's music video reach 1.1 billion views and 13 million likes.

According to the singer, he was annoyed by the idea of rickrolling. But his daughter eventually helped him accept the trend since it keeps him in the spotlight.

"I thought it was absolutely incredible. It was amazing. Because that song obviously has been used in so many different ways, which is great and I am not complaining in any way, shape or form," he said.
