6. Rick doesn't exactly roll, does he?
But I'm sure it's useful in getting him some gigs.

Next week it'll be "Britneyrolled." The week after that "Mileyrolled."

8. That's pretty good. Another youtube link didn't include the deception at the beginning.
Now I see this really is a Rick Roll. :)

9. Thought all the OPs about it were all kidding. I can't believe that. Rick Ashley is such a good
sport.

11. America was Rickroll'd by RIck Astley himself.
If I were him, I'd be kind of honored to have caused such a bizarre internet sensation. The man is practically worshiped by geeks the world over...
Wait, is that a good thing?

17. It originated in the gaming community as far as I know... message boards....
The Warcraft boards were full of it as far back as 2006.

18. not gamerz, but 4chan
Edited on Fri Nov-28-08 10:30 AM by Teaser
began as "duckrolling", referring the user to some hot pr0n and directing them instead to an image of a duck with wheels.

Rickrolling grew out of this meme.

19. it's a really odd kids show
Where imaginary friends go when they're not wanted anymore. Which makes this Rickroll even funnier.

20. Did you see the comment about taking an hour to explain it to your grandma
being funny as hell? That's true. Just try it.
