Popular forum prank started in 2007. Someone will post a link to a Rick Astley video from the 1980s (Astley is a gay-looking pop singer from the 80s), but disguise it as a link to something else. Victims of the prank are then said to have been "rickrolled".

prankster:
sup all, there's a new Harry Potter trailer! Check it out!

<insert disguised link to Rick Astley video here>

response:
wtf? where's the harry potter trailer?

prankster:

To be decieved into clicking a youtube link on an internet message board that leads to a 'Rick Astley - Never gonna give you up' video, under the pretense of it being something else. Has its origins in 4chan and World of Warcraft boards.

"Hmm 'click here for more tentacle hentai', lets see *click*"

"WE'RE NO STRANGERS TO LOVE, YOU KNOW THE RULES AND SO DO I....."

"fuuuuuuuck I've been rickrolled!"

When one clicks on a link to a video expecting some fascinating and timely video related directly to the conversation at hand only to discover it is a link to the music video "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley.
