RickRoll

When someone deliberately links to the Rick Astley youtube music video of "Never Gonna Give You Up" on the World of Warcraft forums. It can be either a straight link or a deviating description prior to the link.

Also known as being RickRolled, Rickroll'd, or /RickRoll.

RickRolled

When you click on a video on youtube, but instead of being the video you want, it's Rick Astley singing Never Gonna Give You Up in a desperate hope to make him more popular, infact doing the exact opposite.

I thought I found the Twilight trailer, but I got RickRolled instead.

manual rickroll

In the heat of the moment you forget to line up an actual version of "Never Gonna Give You Up" when rickrolling someone, so you just start singing the song yourself. The overall shoddyness and ill preparation of the manual rickroll prank actually make it much funnier than the automated version.

fred: hello?

ginger: uh, never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down...

fred: ah yes, the manual rickroll.
