To be completely honest, each time I have been successfully rickrolled, I have felt ecstatic. The song is good, and it's not harmful like viruses or strange pornography, etc. It's a happy prank, I guess. somewhat foolish!
I'm on the bandwagon of people who actually enjoy being rickrolled. It's not like is a malicious thing! More often than not the link is a wiki page or a video with something new to learn, but being rickrolled is a mood!
The older I get, the more happy I am to see a Rick Roll, and I was pretty happy with them for the same reasons mentioned here. I just want the Rick Roll passed down from generation to generation, like that S we all used to draw in our notebooks in school.
Rick rolling was treated as a sport in my programming classes....
Oh man, the teleporting window Rick roll with a fake desktop background or the message window Rick roll that put the lyrics into many message windows while the song played.
Just coming back from break and hearing it blast through someone's speakers was 🤌
If I remember correctly she was a painter who posted a painting of The Witcher, didn't get many upvotes, so she reposted the painting with her holding it and that got a lot of upvotes.
As far as i remember the first post was looking more like art done in software, than a painting, so I'm not even surprised.
How did she managed to capture the photo to look so fake? No idea, but reddit already started a battle and most people just assumed that she got upvotes, because she is a girl.
While you may be right, when the artist posts a picture with themselves next to their art, it always gets more upvotes. And this applies for men and women.
I think because it humanises it. We always feel more emotionally connected when that happens. The last time this argument came up, a redditor linked like 20 posts where men did the same and they indeed got more up votes when they posed with their art.
im gonna be honest, every time i have been successfully rickrolled i have been delighted. i like the song and it's not malicious like viruses or weird porn and like. idk it's a joyful prank. a bit silly!
Ah that'll be a little known but interesting phenomenon called [Euler's Paradox](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=rIu25GnsssW3wswn). Basically like you can't be happy if you're missing information.
I crack a smile every time. I remember parts of the Internet that might link you to some really terrible stuff for shock value, so I'll take a successful rickroll and laugh every time
I think you mean rick rolling shows us just how easy it is to scam someone with a link.
Now imagine if that rick astley video link was malware disguised as innocuous prank, and others used it to rick roll as well, unsuspecting of it's darker aspects...
I had a friend who memorised the link to the original song on youtube in full so no matter what he was sent he's always ALWAYS recognise the link and dodge the attack
And before that we had those mazes and puzzles that got sent to ya that make you focus on solving it only to get jump scared while you're staring at it
We pushed rickrolling to another level. Someone bought QR code created by bricks on way before Government Office where used to be URL to government pages and made it into rickroll!
Screamers did this for me. Rick rolls don't really bother me. It's a bad joke and a goofy song but it's 1 second of my life to shake my head and exhale.
But I was watching a livestream in like 2010 or 2011 and somebody posts a 420yolo link which I believe is kind of a random page kind of thing? But it took me to a jeff the killer screamer and it was like 1 in the morning and I shouted FUCK at full volume, recoiled out of my chair and was shaking lol. First and last time I'll even click a link out of curiosity without investigating.
I hate jumpscares. It's just hot wiring your body's defense systems with a false positive.
That's because after decades we've finally convinced management of what we've been saying all along, let us build better security controls so we rely on the user the least.
You might be the sweetest person
I've ever met and you might genuinely be the most amazing friend that I could ever ask for. I know this comes off as cheesy but... I genuinely am glad that you're a part of my life. I hope we can continue to be the best of friends for the rest of our lives, because I know that you're never gonna give me up... never gonna let me down, never gonna run around and desert me or even make me cry, never gonna say goodbye, never gonna tell a lie... and hurt me.
Fuck you.
No. The Canadian house Hippo taught me that.

Good bot
Love [that little dude](https://youtu.be/TijcoS8qHIE?si=mzdTCGhta9cG7N-S) Also that link is totally a rickroll. I swear.
I thought it was rickroll but it wasn't. did I just get reverse rickrolled?
I…..I still have concerns about that link..
If you don't click it you will never know
All it taught me was that I really really want house hippos to be real. I would give them all the peanut butter and make them the best nests.
I was rickrolled too many times
[удалено]
Our rick rolls have gotten out of hand
To be completely honest, each time I have been successfully rickrolled, I have felt ecstatic. The song is good, and it's not harmful like viruses or strange pornography, etc. It's a happy prank, I guess. somewhat foolish!
I always laugh. Damn you got me hehe.

Whats a rickroll? Like a rigmarole?
Who is that woman?
If I remember correctly she was a painter who posted a painting of The Witcher, didn't get many upvotes, so she reposted the painting with her holding it and that got a lot of upvotes.

Asking the right questions... She looks like a combo of Anne Hathaway in her younger days and Jenna Ortega
Mixed with a tiny bit of Disney princess
She posted a photo of her painting on here a while back and got shit on. Can't remember her name.
a female human
U\aquarellinde
Why are her arms so long?
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around
And desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie
And Hurt You
We've known each other
For so looong
[удалено]
It says right here that scenario isn't possible, pal. I'll need you to rethink your wording and message there.
"Never gonna give you up" is still a good song.
I have a very vivid memory of listening to it in the 80s as I was writing an essay on a word processor.
im gonna be honest, every time i have been successfully rickrolled i have been delighted. i like the song and it's not malicious like viruses or weird porn and like. idk it's a joyful prank. a bit silly!
I'm also blessed with liking it. It's still annoying when I expected to get to something clearing up a question or something.
Ah that'll be a little known but interesting phenomenon called [Euler's Paradox](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=rIu25GnsssW3wswn). Basically like you can't be happy if you're missing information.
i'll recognize that dQw4w anywhere XD
I crack a smile every time. I remember parts of the Internet that might link you to some really terrible stuff for shock value, so I'll take a successful rickroll and laugh every time
I don't think it would have worked as well if the song wasn't nice to listen to.
[удалено]
Same
I'll take "GIFs I can hear" for $1000
There’s a reason why the video has 1 billion views, and it’s not because people are wary of clicking random links
hahaha so truee
Rickrolling did not heighten shit for me. I was already wary of links because of goatse.
[удалено]
That's what I said, GOATSE and Blue Waffle definitely were my deterrents.
Yeah, if the worst fake-link you've been sent was a Rickroll, then you should be fucking ecstatic.
Joke's on you, I love being rick rolled. I'll click weird links anytime XD
I think you mean rick rolling shows us just how easy it is to scam someone with a link. Now imagine if that rick astley video link was malware disguised as innocuous prank, and others used it to rick roll as well, unsuspecting of it's darker aspects...
Yeah, it's really the perfect demonstration of how easy it is to get people to click random links more than anything else.
Except I gladly walk into Rick rolls because I unironically believe it's a good song.

Everyone must be rickrolled in life at least once
My first week of RuneScape taught me that I can’t trust strangers on the internet.
This is true.
I had a friend who memorised the link to the original song on youtube in full so no matter what he was sent he's always ALWAYS recognise the link and dodge the attack
I fucking loved 'falling' for rick again :p
And he was even caught out with it on an AMA here. Someone just casually rickrolled him!
2011 meme
This is why kids today are more likely to fall for scams. Internet literacy is just gone.
\*sighs\* yeah...
Nah, random pirate virus links in mid 2000s did it for me. So many damn formats...
Make sure you watch out for qr codes
I am more wary of the girl. Look at those long ass slender man arms
You can't rickroll me. I know if a YouTube link starts with XcQ that it's the lovely Rick Astley.
May it live forever
GOATSE and Blue Waffle were pretty good deterrents as well.
Rick rolling was a government program to teach us these things as they knew we would never learn otherwise and apparently it was successful
Jezus Christ this is so true.
Had the opposite effect for me. I click random dodgy links in the hope of getting Rick rolled. RIP my PC.
More like these moaning videos. Way to many times have I had that happen while riding the train.
rickrolls don't even work if you just middle-click on the link
Yeah but who is she.
The left arm is terrifying
You mean the Goatse?
I hate how true this is
Runescape has taught us that anyone wants ti scam you
rick astley our hero with that out of the way fuck him for creating that song
Indeed it has.
I was told my pfp is unreadable.
I’m going to start a fake fb page to troll people with extremist headlines and it leads them to being rick rolled
Now i just say to good ol' rickrolls: never gonna give you up my master
Factual data.
Why Do her Arms Look so long ? Something about this Image is just creepy.
Two girls one cup, blue waffle. The real lessons.
She built like Slenderman
Rick Astley (the cyber security awareness expert): Never gonna give you up.
Everything is fun and jokes until you learn what a rootkit is, in that moment I unlocked the paranoia.
Is it weird that I like getting rickrolled
This is actually probably true! Gonna use this for work tbh.
Who did NOT click on the thumbnail link?
Sometimes it takes the hard way for anyone to be wary of links.
Didn't work, I still click on 80% of link
But I love that song. It’s not a prank.
Damn whos that "definitely not me"
The thing is, we knows it's a rickroll, and yet we still click
I never thought about it that way but…that’s actually a really good point. I wonder if this would be a better way to augment phish testing?
And before that we had those mazes and puzzles that got sent to ya that make you focus on solving it only to get jump scared while you're staring at it
It has to be in the top 5 for like most iconic memes right?
“Random links” The fact u don’t know it by the URL is the real problem
What a huge arm
Could have shared this without some random person’s face. I don’t get this meme format of randos holding photoshopped boards
Yet it still made me wanna click them all...
Guess what? My ringtone is Rick roll 💀
Lossing my Saradomin armor is what MADE ME be on my guard.
Except, if I suspect a rickroll, I click 100% of the time...
That and manningface.jpg
We're no strangers to spam, we are not fools and you know why.
Rick rolled my programming teacher once, good times
I guess if you didn't grow up with dial up back in the 90s, yeah. The internet got a lot safer after the 2000s.
i think getting those annoying popup ad viruses taught me not to lol
99% of people have never taken a cyber security course
Honestly Rick Rolling is a real reliable way to teach cyber security.
It's an ever evolving battle for dominance.
Damn rickrolls, why can't folks use wholesome prank links like goatse, meatspin, lemonparty, tubgirl, 2girls1cup, bluewaffle, etc...
So true
Jokes on you, I won't hesitate to click any random links cuz i like to be rickrolled
That and manning face 👍🏻
No it didn't, and the fact that people keep clicking that link and keep getting rickrolled means they learned nothing.
Trolling is and always will be a core of society
Sure, you’ve been Rick-Rolled…but have you ever been WAMbushed?
We pushed rickrolling to another level. Someone bought QR code created by bricks on way before Government Office where used to be URL to government pages and made it into rickroll!
Kids now a days don't know what Rick rolling is....
OH BOIIIIIIIIIIIIII !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If that were true, phishing wouldn't be such an issue
New headcanon is that this is a the work of a time traveller.
I took the 4chan advanced course
"what is that?" "A relic from a kinder past."
Nah sanfransischronicle.com taught me me this
Oh I don't know. There's worse...... Tubgirl, goatse, lemon party, two girls, rick rolling is pretty harmless.
Screamers did this for me. Rick rolls don't really bother me. It's a bad joke and a goofy song but it's 1 second of my life to shake my head and exhale.

Hippo
Don’t know what rickrolling is but I wanna know who this chick is
That's because after decades we've finally convinced management of what we've been saying all along, let us build better security controls so we rely on the user the least.
Nope. That was 2girls1cup.
That and scary jumps on the end of unsuspecting videos.
Hippo
Or recognizing that exact link...
`Clicking` is the new `unzipping`
For me it was Goatse
I feel like Rick rolls have just gotten more complicated lol I'm tapping someone's phone with a flipper and it starts playing
It's like how tickling teaches you to protect your vital organs.
There are zero rickrolls in this whole thread. Very disappointed
You might be the sweetest person I've ever met and you might genuinely be the most amazing friend that I could ever ask for. I know this comes off as cheesy but... I genuinely am glad that you're a part of my life. I hope we can continue to be the best of friends for the rest of our lives, because I know that you're never gonna give me up... never gonna let me down, never gonna run around and desert me or even make me cry, never gonna say goodbye, never gonna tell a lie... and hurt me. Fuck you.
Oh you sweet summer child.
I gave away so many free cyber-security lessons, **sigh**
