What the hell is a Rick Roll?


<<  1    2  >>

Topic started on 5-2-2010 @ 01:19 PM by Stop-loss!


Hello BTS. I was wondering for quite some time what rick roll does and what is the purpose behind it. Ive seen some people say FML and other babble when they get "rick rolled" and still don't know what it means so anyone here know what this Rick roll is suppose to do?

It's just a way to trick people into clicking on a video that they think they will like, when really it's a video of Rick Astley singing "Never gonna give you up"


Say you see a video that says "amazing Motorbike crash" or "Hot chick dancing" or "Free energy documentary" or whatever and then you click on it and it's Rick Astley.... then you've been Rick-Rolled.


Anyway, If you're annoyed by all the rick rolling crap, check out this amazing UFO footage just released by the UK government...

haha Nice idea for a thread

Rick rolling usually happens on youtube videos, So you're on youtube and you type in a song you like so for example "i am the highway" by audioslave, but the person who posted the video has put in that god awful song "Never gonna give you up" from rick astley in instead.

So because you was expecting that other song and instead you got a crappy rick astley song you just got rick rolled.

Here is a wiki page of rick rolling

en.wikipedia.org...

You sure did. Makes me want to everytime I see that vid. I wonder who was the that invented Rick Roll in the first place and how long has it been around.
