Rickroll (meme) (InstanceTopic, 9)

From Compile Worlds

Description

Rickrolling is the process of sending someone a link to a video of Rick Astley singing Never Gonna Give You Up, disguising the link as something else which one would want to click on.

Not to be confused with the fact that Rick, one of Kirby's animal pals, can roll when Kirby's a rock.

The Epic Rickroll of April 25, 2009

On April 25, 2009, Keiji found the Beyblade song Swing Low on YouTube, and downloaded it. He then ran his conversion script as usual. On listening to the produced ogg file, he heard the Obama Roll. This is the first documented case of a person being rickrolled by a mere computer program.

McRoll

The McRoll is another kind of rickroll. Japanese McDonalds commercial sounds synced to any song (As long as it's awesome) is a McRoll. Danger: Addictive.
