For those who may not know, getting "Rick rolled" is when someone sends you an email or something with a link in it. You unsuspectingly click on the provided link thinking you are going somewhere completely different, only to wind up getting this video of Rick Astley's 1987 number one hit song, "Never gonna give you up" instead. It's sort of an Internet joke or gag.

The reason I ask is because I've never had anyone Rick Roll me directly. I've yet to receive an email with a link to the video presented as something else or anything like that. Yet, looking at the comments on the video's site, it happens to people all the time! The video has had over 15 million views!!

Has it ever happened to you?

[Jerrymander]

Yes, but such is the nature of people my age. I've RickRolled people before, and it's quite fun.

[fingal]

No Dan, I haven't seen that one before... I've heard the term 'Rick rolled', but I didn't know what it meant.

[bigtomrodney]

Yeah I've been rickrolled but only by people who I did it to first. That's karma for you

Never had it happen to me before, nor have I done it to anyone else.

Ah. According to this video it's more common than you'd think.

Haha. No thanks. You did make me think of Rickrolls? In my computer? It's more likely than you think.
