You've been Rickrolled!

A 'rickroll' is a prank played on an unsuspecting web surfer. To be rickrolled is when browsing a website (especially a discussion forum or comment board), one comes across a link expecting it to lead to one thing, but finds something completely different when the link is clicked.

The name Rick refers to '80s pop singer Rick Astley. The standard rickroll generally involves someone posting a link claiming it leads to something quite interesting (e.g., hot chicks in panties), but actually linking to a video of Mr. Astley singing "Never Gonna Give You Up." This is usually considered a major let-down.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

Ah, being Rickrolled is when someone clicks on a link expecting something else, but instead, they're pleasantly surprised with Rick Astley's catchy song "Never Gonna Give You Up." It's all in good fun, like a little unexpected gift of joy and nostalgia. Just remember, there are happy accidents in every corner of the internet, ready to bring a smile to your face.

Oh, dude, being Rickrolled is like the internet's favorite prank. It's when someone tricks you into clicking a link that you think is gonna take you somewhere cool, but instead, you end up watching Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" music video. It's the ultimate bait-and-switch, and it's been around since like, forever in internet years.

Oh, honey, being Rickrolled is when someone tricks you into clicking a link that takes you to Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" music video. It's like getting punk'd but with an '80s pop twist. So, if you find yourself unexpectedly grooving to Rick's smooth vocals, congratulations, you've been Rickrolled.
