Go click any of the featured vids on the main page....report back, it is funny ducy.

deader than disco imo

did not expect this! but i laughed

and i thought the urban dictionary was joking about this...

They get hacked, do you suppose?

Hacked... simply an april fools gag

Yes upon hacking Youtube my first strike dealt would be to rickroll everyone too.

where did the rick roll originate?

From UrbanDictionary:


"The term was developed by users on forums that have located the video and have known that is has no particular value or even remotely related to the game/community which is directed to develop anger by the user who clicks the link.

"Rickrolled" is a fruition of the earlier word, "Duckrolled" which is the same meaning of deception.
The practice of tricking people into viewing this song is called the Rickroll, trolls who do it are called Rickrollers, and people who are tricked by this are "Rickroll'D" or "Rickrolled"

This term and practice is being spread out mainly by the gaming community and by online forums. Usually a user may announce a video that has probably been leaked or a video that has value to the community;"
