how can you not understand the inherent hilarity that is that music video, the weedy white dude with the mismatched black dude voice, and the crazy dancing lol

Thank you for ruining an xkcd for me. I hadn't read it yet.

So, is the point of Rickrolling deception? As in, you would never expect a voice like that to come from a twerp like him?

<3 xkcd, btw.

Not sure if that was directed at me, but I am going to assume not, as it doesn't answer my question.
I feel sorry for any xkcd readers that do not realize that they also have a funny image title as well.

Basically. So when I post a link to nude pics of Natalie Portman heart, and instead link to that Astley video, you ain't expecting it.

How is it ruined? You were going to read it at some point.

The mouse-over adds more hilarity.

At least Rick Astley is a good sport about it:

Rick Astley used to be a coffee runner for some of the other guys in videos, but when they heard his voice they made a video. They shot the video in a day or two and the bartender showed up drunk. He woke up on a table and they had him do the stunt for the video, where he does the flip. The first time he lands on his head, the second, he lands properly. One of the backup dancers didn't know the steps, so they tried to block her out. Astley complained that the video was too "repetitive", which is ironic since the song is even more so.

Yes, at least it reminded me I forgot to disable a few things since I set up this PC.
