RickRoll

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.

Guy1: Hey guys, check out my new PVP video: (link to video)

Guy2: WTF!

Guy1: RICKROLLED!

rickrolling

A method in which a prankster makes a fake link to the music video of Rick Astley's Never going to give you up. To be rick rolled is to be the victim, rick rolling is the act of being the predator. The prank is considered funny because of the horrible dancing in this music video. Sometimes the bar tender is seen to be funnier. Over one million people have been rick rolled and counting.

Hey guys lets go rickrolling on the our favorite video game forums, they'll get a kick out of this!

rickroll

To post a misleading link with a subject that promises to be exciting or interesting, e.g. "World of Starcraft in-game footage!" or "Paris Hilton blows Busta Rhymes' dick" but actually turns out to be the video for Rick Astley's debut single, "Never Gonna Give You Up". A variant on the duckroll. Allegedly hilarious.

...so instead of getting to beat off to footage of Ann Coulter getting raped by hyenas, I got rickrolled. What a day!
