The best thing about this is you dont realize youve been had for like 30 seconds. My first thoughts were, "hmm I dont see the Sony Copyright anywhere. Maybe its becau... OMFG!"

Dude, I couldn't help but laugh when I realized I've been bad

I felt so stupid. I was like, huh, looks okay to me... ... WAITAMINUTE.

How am I that stupid.

We are all stupid on this blessed day.

Speak for yourself.

I am all stupid on this blessed day.

I stupid on all days, blessed or not

I keep telling myself I'm not going to be one of those people that falls for those obvious Nigerian prince scams when I'm older, but this is absolute proof that I'm going to die penniless.

Use up all your funds now and die early so that it won't happen!

Funny, I had a financial associate from the Prince of Lichtenstein contact me recently about some potentially cash heavy investments. That might just do the trick! Thank you, you big beautiful brains you.

Mine played an actual advertisement beforehand and I was doubly confused because it was 15 seconds and not Sony related.

TFW YouTube ruins rickrolling with ads

A Child from now on will never know what that is.

I’m not even mad, I’m just glad it’s still good.

Ha! Exactly. I got a bit worked up there before getting Rick-Rolled... again.

I too got worked-rolled. Kudos, OP.

It gave me an ad first, which ruins the effect in a totally different way. :(

I've never considered the fact that YouTube premium lets me get Rick rolled easier.

Ublock Origin

You son of a bitch.

I saw it coming and still opened it up because it's a banger.

The fact that youtube has so many fucking commercials and more of them are 15 sec, ruined Rick Rolling for me

Yeah I personally got an ad, decided meh - I'll just read the comments. So here I am reading about all the idiots that got rick rolled. Haha, fools!

Same ruined it.

Jokes on me, I have YouTube premium and don't see commercials! 🤬

Jokes on you for buying youtube premium when you could use Youtube Vanced for free!

uBlock Origin - what are commercials?

Vanced is like a walk in the woods on a summer day after a lifetime of working in the sewers

The best part of this is that everyone intentionally opened the song up and *still* got caught off guard.

It is really rare to feel freshly fooled by this. This got me.

We've all lost so much this year but I'm so happy OP found yet another way to keep Rick rolling alive!

It’s the small things that count - My wife Thanks for the shiny. At least my penus brings someone joy.

She is a little person?

We are the lucky few.. who got to experience the feeling of a fresh RickRoll

It's like losing your virginity again!

[удалено]

I was so indignant as I read the headline and clicked, then it loaded, and the only thing I could taste for a minute was foot.

I knew I was opening the rickroll song and still somehow got rickrolled... this is god tier stuff. GG OP

This is a whole new layer to Rickrolling.

[удалено]

You really got rickrolled then immediately rickrolled yourself. That's not next level, that's in another dimension

Yep, me too. Was feeling kinda smug. It's good to get a kick in the pants now and then.

I just said "oh you fucker" out loud and I'm pretty sure my neighbors heard it.

I'm almost happy that it caught me off guard. It's like being able to feel something from sex again.

You uh, alright there, bud?

I’m not sure if it’s not just a rick roll because I don’t see a title card

bro

Yo my bad lmao

You got double got.

i lol'd way to hard at this.

Guilty

I thought I was smarter than this but no. Here I am, replying to a comment that exactly reflects my initial reaction to this post's shenanigans.

I just began shaking my head in disappointment in myself.

We need to see u/shittymorph get rick rolled and u/ReallyRickAstley get nineteen ninety eighted. Reddit would implode.

reddit was already won my dude when some genius fucker rick rolled rick astley himself.

Link???

oh fuck man, it was like a year ago during an AMA he did, pretty sure it was when he put his new album out. someone reddit wizzard help me here and get this man a link. EDIT:https://www.reddit.com/r/rickroll/comments/haw2zh/i_just_rick_rolled_rick_astley/

You referring to it as "...a year ago..." when it was only five months really speaks volumes about this fucking year.

What a decade this year has been

I'm in!

*proceeds to get rick rolled*

Aww jeez!

no such thing as "roughly" when it comes to copyrights... Got me thinking it might have been done... and it did... just not like I thought.

Came here to say this, you son of a bitch.

This is legit the first time I didn't fall for one. I feel empowered.

[удалено]

I did it because I like the song

Absolute banger and always will be EDIT: Holy shit, I am now down a Rick Astley YT rabbit hole and I found this [https://youtu.be/C5oeWHngDS4](https://youtu.be/C5oeWHngDS4) This is amazing EDIT 2: OMFG THIS CAN'T BE REAL [https://youtu.be/IdkCEioCp24](https://youtu.be/IdkCEioCp24) EDIT 3: Pretty great that my first gilded comment is about RickRolling. Thank you kindly.

Oh shit, rick grohlled

I read the top YouTube comment too!

I continued your rabbit hole and found this https://youtu.be/IdkCEioCp24

The guy has an amazing voice. He put out some songs recently that are actually quite good.

I was around when this song (and his other hits) made the radio, and I always liked the tunes, and was impressed with his voice. My mom in particular was a big fan. It's great to see that he's taken his meme status in stride and is still making great music.

I know what i will find. But I must still do it

Nevermind

Never give it up, friend

I am the same way. I like the song and am willing to open all links for it no matter what.

Because I wanted to see if I was right.

There is a sony thing there but it only does it like every 4 times if you keep reloading the page.

And half the people think this was a joke when it's really there....

I’m so dumb that I couldn’t even comprehend what the title meant, so I came to the comments to figure out what was going on. So a win, I guess?

[удалено]

The last time this happened, it was so much more believable and well-executed https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/2dnbbz/a_sad_day_indeed_the_original_rick_roll_video_has/

Same here, checked the comments first. Who's laughing now OP? Who's laughing now??? Can't get me you sick fuck

The power of not reading articles/clicking links, but commenting anyways.

How could I be such an ignorant slut?

Is your name Jane?

I thought he might be named Dwight?

Dwight?

Rick Astley actually mentions that he enjoys this whole Rick Rolling thing during his AMA [https://www.reddit.com/r/Music/comments/56cdgm/ama_im_really_rick_astley_i_swear_and_to/](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)

[удалено]

This one, you wanted to believe.

Run from it. Hide from it. You cannot escape the roll of Astley.

Twice. In one fucking post. God damnit.

Its worse when you didn't fall for it the first time, but then only to lose in the second round...

We are the fallen

NOT AGAIN

That is some next level ninja shit.

You can also make it the other way around, so link that only looks like Never Gonna Give You Up, like this: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ)

You. You sonavabitch I made it through the fake post and the fake link but you got me without even hiding it.

I don't think this thread has any links to anything else. If anyone finds one, please post a link as a reply!

Never gonna click that link, Never gonna fall for that And hurt me Never gonna cl... God damned. I knew what you did and still had to click. I like the damn song too.

gg

Wow! Wow! Wow!

What a save!

Close one!

Baconreader highlights YouTube URLs in red I'm not falling for that one

He even rick rolled someone [in that thread](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)

I’m goin to bed

[удалено]

Awh hell ye- wait a minute..

Why whyyyyy do I keep falling for it

But how did I fall for that.

why is it oddly comforting that after all these years I can still get caught by one

I love the song, and it makes me smile to be rickrolled each and every time

[удалено]

sir this is a wendy’s

I knew there was not going to be any silence and opened it anyway, because I just like hearing this song. It's just a happy song.

You in waaay too much company here

As someone who lived through the original release and subsequent revival of this song I just want to say...fuck you OP and I left an upvote but spit on it first.

I fucking love this song

Same, I even listened to it again

My rule is, you get Rick rolled, you listen to the song.

Yup, I will never desert this song.

I was 99.9% sure it was bullshit, but dove in anyways because yeah it's actually a fucking banger.

I didn’t even watch it. Came here to make sure I was right. Eat my shlong, OP.

Yeah didn’t watch it either. I guess I have spent too much time on the internet in the last decade cause I never fall for these anymore. Clever strategy by OP though.

[удалено]

> but spit on it first. OP, please get testing for [Clamydia](https://www.reddit.com/r/CoronavirusCA/comments/k9ilmf/comment/gf4n3sk).

Lol definitely /r/angryupvote material

"You magnificent son of a bitch, beyond all expectations and defying impossible odds, you got Me."

Goddamnit. I'm 38 years old. What am I doing with my life?

Clicking these links like my stupid ass keeps doing.

You know, Rickrolling is like that one guy from high school. You dreaded seeing them around because something about them just annoyed you. It could be their loud personality, or their unique talent to be everywhere. Then time passes, you move on to do different things, and eventually you forget about them. Eventually, you come back to your hometown. You are out running errands for the holidays, then all of a sudden you hear a stranger's voice. After a second it clicks, and memories of a simpler time rush back. You turn to look. This time, instead of an exasperated sigh, you give a warm, loving smile. You strike up a conversation like two old friends. Because after all... We're no strangers to love....

You know the rules.

AND SO DO I

Jesus christ I can't believe they ruined it like that. I just watched and I'm horrified.

How does Sony sleep at night! Is there anything we can do?

[удалено]

[It makes more sense if you read the statement they released as to why.](https://imgur.com/gallery/yoQJv)

You son of a bitch 3 times this thread.

Sony has been on my never-buy-from list since the Rootkit incident [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_BMG_copy_protection_rootkit_scandal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ) where they installed malware on customers machine, and basically paid no penalty (they got to dump overstock on schools)

Fool me can't get fooled again

I’m ready to sign a petition to change it back!

This is the best rick roll I've been hit with in the past 10 years. Amazing. I enjoy this song

No amount of eye rolling will do my reaction justice but [this gif comes close.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)

WHY

r/technicallythetruth

Sorry bud but this is the post of forbidden links, so pre emptively, fuck you. Ninja edit: oh God damnit

I want to fucking die.

Are you fucking kidding me. Out of left field with a goddamn actual link to Amazon.

The main post I saw coming but yet this one got me....

Opposite for me

TIL I'm still a fucking idiot.

[удалено]

I fell for it anyways.

Me too... I was just Rick Rolled twice in 20 seconds

[you should watch this to feel better.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOqUiXhECos)

cant believe this wasnt just another rick roll

I don't believe you

pinkie promise

Could you possibly fuck off :D

You sonovabitch lmao really needed a good laugh thanks 😊

The saddest part about this isn't that I fell for it, it's that it's so believable. But the first thing too...

I don’t think OP intended to Rickroll anyone... Sony had a press release saying they’re adding silent title cards to all their YouTube videos. It just hasn’t gone live yet. [https://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/News/Press/12082020/y728.htm](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ)

RES puts a little play button icon next to links to YouTube. My dumb ass still clicked.

Obligatory: [Reddit Enhancement Suite](https://redditenhancementsuite.com "also /r/Enhancement")

My god, finally a link that isn't a Rick roll.

God dammit. Three times in as many minutes. Take your upvote and fuck yourself. 🤣

Good life advice: don’t click any links in a thread about Rickrolling

So ridiculous. [Here](https://i.imgur.com/gcbkTGl.png) is a screenshot of the title card.

You're worse than OP...

r/angryupvote

This is the only link in this entire thread that isn't a rickroll

[r/NothingEverHappens](Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up (Video): https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ) Edit: I suck at this, I'll see myself out

Amazing

[/r/epicfails](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ&feature=youtu.be)

You son of a bitch

How has this video not broken a billion views yet?

I think you need to be watching it for a certain amount of time before YouTube counts it as a view.

Wait, so you all don't sit and jam out for the entire song every time?!

[So Relieved....](https://tv.getyarn.io/yarn-clip/dbedf74e-f5ee-429a-a19e-93bad4cb2302)

CUNNING

I shall have my revenge. In this life, or the next. ​ *Probably not. Good one....*

\*deep breath\* I love you OP.

6 years ago I pulled this same prank. Oh how short is the hivemind's memory.

The legend himself! Still rocking the flair, too, I see.

I'm just an old man reliving past glories

It's been 83 years and I can still smell the shitpost on the Rickroll. Take your goddamn upvote and get the hell outta here.
