You Just Got Rick Rolled

If you haven’t noticed, people across the internet have been Rick Rolling one another. It spread across YouTube and has even made it on television lately.

So, what is the Rick Roll?

According to Yahoo Answers, Rick Rolling is an internet prank or joke. Rick Roll, rick Roll’d, or Rick Rolling is an internet spam trick in which people post a link to a Rick Astley Video on YouTube, but say the viewers of the video are being let to another video.

I have no idea what actually started this prank, but now Rick Astley’s video has over 8 million YouTube views. Not bad if I say so myself. Now if only this video I made of my website could get that many views.

You Have Just Been Rick Rolled! haha.

If that wasn’t enough, a few people even decided to perform a real-life Rick Roll by doing it at a college basketball game. Check it out:
