this is the thread where you admit you got rickrolled

Do not understand this verb.

Or ptchfork. Or its "news."

what does it mean to be Rickrolled

Full disclosure: The blonde in that video gives me an erection.

u gonna get rickpickandrolled

But Never gonna give you up is, in fact, pretty awesome.

riprolled

I sang "Never Gonna Give You Up" at karaoke the other night.

I have never accidentally clicked on a link to a Rick Astley video. I probably wouldn't mind too much if I did.

Things Rick Astley is Never Gonna Do

1. Give you up.
2. Let you down.
3. Run around and desert you.
4. Say goodbye
5. Make you cry.
6. Tell a lie and hurt you.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Will always make me laugh. I don't care how old it is.

Noooooooooooooo!

"Never Gonna Give You Up" seems preferable to at least 99% of what you're going to be linked to on the internets.

Man. I stopped over at my sister's house today because it is close to wear I work and she wanted to show me something she got her BF for Xmas. While I was there, she begged me to open my Xmas present. I opened it, and it was the original version of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat where it sounds like a garage rock band playing all the songs. I had told I was looking for it. I rejoiced. She said maybe we should listen to some of it now, that she was interested to hear what it sounded like.

I put it on her turntable which was all set up and "Never Gonna Give You Up" immediately began blasting at top volume. She had changed the label on the Rick Astley record (very expertly) to the label from the soundtrack.

The three of us danced.

i got rickrolled last night looking at Empire: Total War videos online.

That's a pretty good roll there rox.

It was really well done! <3 Nijoli

I don't know why I thought I was really going to get to hear that Animal Collection album.

lol @ u nicka

Glad you liked the Xmas Rick Roll, Roxy. It was actually pretty simple if you have a color copier and a glue stick. I had always wanted to do an analog Rick Roll and I am sure this is the firts of many!

- nijoli

roxymuzak, I have that recording of Joseph on cassette and it's just as great as you think -- keep looking!

No, I got the real record too! I no longer have to look.

I just placed the doctored album in the cover of the soundtrack, and put the real one in the rick astley cover to giver her later - after the joke was over.

The present was real, but it was a great opportunity for a priceless joke, too.

It was so well executed. <3 xmas rickroll

this meme has legs

i'm really shocked that rickrolls are still funny after like two years of rickrollage. but they are!

it will only get funnier and funnier, because the joke for me anyway is "omg this happened AGAIN"

Rickrolls are not generally still funny (they never were, really), but this is so creative as to be massively great.

yes they are

they are funny every single time

yeah i don't think rickroll will ever get old for me

how about seeing a kid that looks like rick astley and getting the song in your head like an irl rickroll (this happened to me once lol)

The notion behind the roll of the rick is that you are forcing an awful song into someone's brain, but if

1. It doesn't stick in yr head, or
2. You don't find Rick A all that awful,

then it might as well be an AC/DC roll, you know?

RONG! The song does not get stuck in my head nor do I think it is particularly awful, but the traditional aspect of the joke itself is what keeps me loving it. An ACDC roll could potentially be equally funny.

Well, I mean the usual link-click joke is that. The analog RR is totally another beast, like meta to the 3rd.
