Video: Foo Fighters troll the homophobic Westboro Baptist Church in the best way possible

"Never gonna give you up"

Paul Moore

“Never gonna give you up”.

We all know the type of vitriol that the Westboro Baptist Church spew and it really doesn’t need any more attention. On the plus side, it’s always nice seeing people stand up to bullies and what makes this clip even better is that it’s one of the biggest bands in the world that refuse to see these “protests” anymore.

Foo Fighters fans will know that Dave Grohl and co aren’t afraid to make fun of themselves, the videos for Big Me and Learn To Fly still crack me up, but the band channeled some iconic and cheesy ’80s pop when taking aim at a recent gathering of homophobic members of the Westboro Baptist Church.

We all know that Dave Grohl is the soundest person in the world but if you need another reason to be a believer then this is it.

Rick Astley + standing up to bullies = brilliant.
