Improper Rickrolling

[archibaldcrane]

Much like the hoe-check thread of last year, I wanted to discuss proper and improper rickrolling.

Friend of mine on IM:
(00:25:12) him: do you understand this?
(00:25:13) him: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0
(00:31:40) archibaldlang: oh, getting rickrolled?
(00:31:46) archibaldlang: what don't you understand?
(00:31:49) him: no fool
(00:31:51) him: you got rickrolled
(00:31:59) him: lulz
(00:32:03) archibaldlang: wow.
(00:32:37) him: owned

I'm not feeling it.

Protip: it doesn't work if you can tell it's the same link as 4 inches higher.

Seriously, this is why youtube needs to have meaningful identifiers in their urls. "mouse over, see url, avoid getting rickrolled".

hoe checking was funnier for longer, rickrolling is stupid

Rickrolling was funny for a week while it wasn't an internet pandemic. Now it's just an unfunny version of an older meme (that you see everywhere you go on the internet).

rickrolling is stupid

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that. Maybe I just don't see the funny in it or something.

Obviously I love it but I moreso love the lengths some people go to hide a rickroll, it's awesome. It's no fun if it's obvious and someone gets caught

Those ones I can understand why it's funny and somewhat laugh at, but why this video in the first place? I guess that's what I'm not understanding.

Personally I find it so absolutely ridiculous with the hand flailing and the skinny ass bartender later flipping off walls and shit that I can't help but snicker thinking about it.

It's like he wants to the dice thing but keeps backing out at the last second.

[Hollaback]

I think it's the fact that he sounds like a big black guy, yet....

[Beckwin]

Is it bad if you like getting rick rolled? Seriously that video is funny shit and I play the whole thing everytime I get rolled.

This is just a bad repackaging of meatspinning

[Noobta]

It's an awesome songg

[Khamsin]

This is just a bad repackaging of meatspinning

Although a lot more appropriate, since it'd suck to get meatspun at work.

I'd say it's closer to a duckroll or something, than meatspinning.

I mean, I enjoy a complicated, well thought out and hidden rickroll from time to time - if someone can get you really excited about a link and it results in a fabulous rickroll, I tip my hat to thee.

The example I gave though...shit's just lazy.

One of my favorites was on 4chan a few months ago..
Some guy embedded a .rar in an image, claiming it was episodes of an anime a ton of people were searching for. Inside the rar was like 12 rickroll movies, each with episode names. It even came with the .torrent file and sample images (which were pictures of the anime) that you often see in torrents.
'twas an epic day

i thought this was a superb rickroll: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1j0b613tXI

although the comments give it away

"Never Gonna Give You Up" is almost invariably cooler than whatever the person who linked you to it was claiming it to be.

For 80s pop, you could do a hell of a lot worse than Astley.
