A meme

Rick Roll

To send someone a link to 80s pop star Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" video, making them believe that they're gonna see something completely different. The meme originated in 4chan's /v/ (videogame) board, when the official "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" trailer was coming out on the game's website but couldn't be watched due to heavy traffic. Playing a prank on everyone who was reading, an anonymous 4chaner said that the trailer was on YouTube and posted a link to Astley's song. Since then, the Rick Roll has been made countless times, not only on 4chan but on the whole of the Internet.

Example:
Matt: You gotta check out this new band, it's awesome! Look, here's the video.

Rick Astley: Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down...

Jake: Arrrgh man, you just Rick Rolled me again!

An internet meme that lasted for almost 14 years, yet it's still popular to these days. This might be the longest lasting internet meme in existence. You thought amogus was overrated and unstoppable? Take a deeper look, because you can never stop Rick Astley. It's so overused that this might take the whole cake. If you see a link that could lead to a Rick Roll, don't click it. Doesn't matter how curious you are, just do yourself a favor and try to avoid it as much as possible!

Example:
Troll: Visit this website to get free robux!
*insert a link to a rick roll*
Me: No, I'm not clicking that!
