To send someone a link to 80s pop star Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" video, making them believe that they're gonna see something completely different. The meme originated in 4chan's /v/ (videogame) board, when the official "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" trailer was coming out on the game's website but couldn't be watched due to heavy traffic. Playing a prank on everyone who was reading, an anonymous 4chaner said that the trailer was on YouTube and posted a link to Astley's song. Since then, the Rick Roll has been made countless times, not only on 4chan but on the whole of the Internet.
Matt: You gotta check out this new band, it's awesome! Look, here's the video.
Rick Astley: Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down...
Jake: Arrrgh man, you just Rick Rolled me again!

Get the Real Nigga Roll Call mug.Like a Rick Roll except even more annoying. This is when the youtube channel "mormon" posts a video of an inspiring person and his/her family and have them talk about all the amazingly wonderful things they do in life. This goes on for around 5-8 minutes and is then followed by a long string of "I like this, I like that, I like... etc" and ends with the most annoying statement: "I'm <insert name> and I'm a Mormon." Whoopty doo, who gives a shit? You just discredited the entire video. So what? Your aim is to present all these wonderful people to make a point about Mormonism? No one cares.
Mormon Roll - Rochelle Tallmadge (after just talking about her family and how she adopted a boy with Down and all this other heart-warming stuff...
- "I'm Rochelle, I'm a redhead, I'm a Texan, I'm a wife, I'm a mom, and *pause..wait for it..* I'm a Mormon!"
- "I'm Rochelle, I'm a redhead, I'm a Texan, I'm a wife, I'm a mom, and *pause..wait for it..* I'm a Mormon!"
