When you click on a specific link expecting something a specific post describes, but instead are treated to a rendition of Rick Astley.

Rickrolled is when someone falsely links you to a site with images and/or videos of Rick Astley.
The most used video of Ricks' is the song "Never gonna give you up" made in the eighties.

The verb used to describe that you clicked a misleading youtube(Or another video hosting website) link that leads you to a video that is very silly instead of the video described. It derives from the Halo 3 GameFAQs/Gamespot forum where a Rick Roll music video was commonly linked in place of the video misleadingly described as a Halo 3 gameplay video.

When someone deliberately links to the Rick Astley music video of "Never Gonna Give You Up" via youtube on internet forums. Originally popularized in the World of Warcraft community forums, it has spread to many other forums across the internet.
It can be either a straight link or come with a deviating description prior to the link. When someone clicks on it, they are "RickRolled"
Also known as /RickRoll, RickRoll'd, Rickrolled, etc.
