An internet meme.
When an user is tricked into watching Rick Astley's song "Never gonna give you up", it's called to rickroll (v) and a person who ends up in the rickrolling has been rickrolled
Even celebrities have been victims of rickrolling as seen in this video: youtu.be/oHg5SJYRHA0

Another retarded internet meme from 4chan. Based on the duckroll meme where links send you to a youtube video of a duck on a wheels, Rickroll is meme where links send you unsuspectingly to youtube video of Rick Astley's Never gonna give you up music video from the 80's.
retard: ZOMGZ FREE PORNZ: LINK

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.
Bill said he posted a link to gameplay footage from the new StarCraft game, but instead he rickrolled me!

An internet fad that involves posting a fake link that supposedly leads to a big announcement or amazing secret, but instead leads to the youtube video "rickroll".
Person 1: Hey, there's the GTAIV trailer in the General Discussions Board!
Person 2: No way!
-clics link to rickroll video-
Person 2: Oh no, I've been rickroll'd!
Person 2: No way!
-clics link to rickroll video-
Person 2: Oh no, I've been rickroll'd!
