This is a simple guide to become a master at Rick Rolling people. First let's be sure you know what Rick Rolling is, Urban Dictionary defines it best: "an internet phenomenon in which someone provides a link claiming it to be relevant to the topic at hand, only for that link to redirect you to the music video of Rick Astley's 'Never Gonna Give You Up.'" With 20 million views on the video, it is definitely a phenomenon. Chances are you knew that because you have Rick Rolled someone or have had it done to you. Here are some of the most successful ways to trick people into watching it.
- Tiny Url is sneaky, instead of seeing a youtube link, all you will see is a short link from tiny url with no indication of what it truly is.
- When talking about a video on youtube, tell them them to check out another one like it, then send the Rick Roll link.
- Surprise attack! Send them a link in an email or chat at a completely random time and say it is something else like "awesome skateboard tricks" to compel them to watch.
- Be careful, people will try to Rick Roll you back once you get them so if any of these tactics happen to you, carefully choose if it is really worth it.
