I RR'd my wife. She is not familiar with rickrolling, so I wanted to see if it's a big FAIL.

She called two people before me to ask if she was pranked... then I get a call. What's funny is she asked "Jason, did you prank call me with some Billy Ocean song?"

I guess you don't need to put the area code in parentheses then?

I was going to try putting the number in different formats, but I'm using the one the site has listed IE (123)456-7890 just in case.

I tried my sister's cell number as 1234567890 first, but it didn't work until I did (123)456-7890.

It is funnier to rickroll friends that ARE familiar with the rickroll.

Next dial in 06 minutes...

I wish it would come up as "Rick Astley" rather than "Unknown Number."

I was thinking you could do something through Grand Central... but doesn't appear so.

What I find so funny about rickrolling is that that particular song was my now-wife and mine first "our song".

I remember driving around trying to find the single to give to her on Valentine's Day in either 1988 or 1989.

I know, I just scrolled through my contacts on my phone and didn't come up with a single one who knows what Rick Rolling is lol. Did it to my brother all the same :D

If I did this to anyone I know who knows what rickrolling is, they would know it was me.

Yeah, out of the 4 or 5 people I did it to today, two of them immediately asked if I just Rickrolled them.
