Rejoice pop culture junkies! At the end of May VH1 announced the return of “Pop Up Video”!<\/p>\n

“Pop Up Video” would generously sprinkle music videos with facts and trivia about the artist and video heavily laced with sarcasm. For those of you unfamiliar with the awesomeness that is “Pop Up Video”, let me demonstrate the fun with this true classic of the original “Pop Up Video” series, Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna’ Give You Up”.<\/p>\n

(It’s well documented that Magical Buffet founder Rebecca Elson is a big fan of Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna’ Give You Up”.<\/em>)<\/p>\n

<\/iframe><\/p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/popwatch.ew.com\/2011\/05\/25\/pop-up-video-returns\/\"target=\"_blank\">ET.com’s PopWatch writer Jeff Labrecque reports<\/a>, “After a 10-year hiatus, ‘Pop Up Video’ is coming back to VH1, with 60 new episodes ordered for this fall. This time, not only will the show tackle classic hip-hop and rap music videos for the first time, but the ‘Pop Up’ treatment will feature user-generated pop up content and updated polls in its bubbles.”<\/p>\n(Rebecca copied and pasted this quote while listening to the “Family Guy” television show. She often works this way.<\/em>)<\/p>\nWith 10 years of catching up to do, I can’t wait to see where they start! I mean, one can only assume there will be an all Lady Gaga show, right? One day soon we may get to see “Poker Face” get the kind of treatment that REM’s “Losing My Religion” received. <\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"425\" height=\"349\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0JebUqkC8oQ?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n(Rebecca originally planned on using the “Pop Up Video” version of No Doubt’s “Ex-Girlfriend” but in the end opted for the more iconic “Losing my Religion” video.<\/em>)<\/p>\nDo you remember “Pop Up Video” too?
