Muppet Rick Roll
April 2, 2008
Rickrolling is an Internet meme involving Rick Astley’s music video for his song “Never Gonna Give You Up“. In a Rickroll, a person provides a link they claim is relevant to the topic at hand which actually takes the user to the Astley video. It can also mean playing the song loudly in public in order to be disruptive.
What you’ll see is people hiding the RickRoll in another link. For instance, you click a link sent by your friend that says it’s for “Cheap Computer Parts” only to find you’re sent to a RickRoll video. The net is a funny place sometimes. The latest variant (and the funniest IMO) is the Muppet Rick Roll.
If that goes online you can snag the AVI from my site here.
