A popular "made you look" style game played within the World of Warcraft community forums through a humorous 80's music video by Rick Astley. Whenever a thread or topic goes sour or steers of topic or even just for fun, players will post the link to the music video and everyone who clicks to watch it, has been "rickroll'd".
The video is filled with bad 80's dancing, clothes and hairstyles.

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".

response:
