rick rolled

Originally, to trick someone into watching the extremely catchy "Never Gonna Give You Up" music video by the genius Rick Astley with a fake link (usually with the promise of an exclusive video).

Now used in a more general sense, for any sort of deception or trick.

"I asked for the newest Halo trailer and all I got was the Rickroll video."

"I really hope that J.K. Rowling hasn't rick rolled us with all this Dumbledore business. I would be so disappointed."

"I just rick rolled that guy into singing Evanescence at the top of his lungs in the middle of a Walmart by promising him a reward of $20,000."

"Rick rolled" is a phrase used when one send you a link, possibly disguising it, that shows you to the music video Rick Astley- Never Gonna Give You Up. It can vary what video it actually sends you, it could be a video that says "Pretty ocean waves" and then BAM!! you just got Rick Rolled.

Friend: *clicks link*

rick rolled

a video on you tube or another type of video source with a title that people will definitely click on. This will get the user plenty of views. Like new Lil Wayne, PS4, touchscreen psp, New Soulja Boy Dance, brand new cell phone, etc. Then about 5 seconds later a video comes on with some white guy singing (not 1/2 bad) which gets annoying as hell.

I was searching for new Lil Wayne and got Rick Rolled multiple times today.
