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:
you just got rickrolled!!!11! lol

You are given a link to something (say a video) but when you follow the link, you get something like a Rick Astley music video on Youtube - you've been rickrolled!

I finally found that Britney Spears water tub incident video but when I cliked for it I got 'Never Gonna Give You Up'. What a rickroll...
