Is it like you post a link implying it's something cool, but when you open it it's that guy? IE, you got Rick Rolled?

Wild guess.

Sorry, I have to bump, I'm curious. Is this a widespread phenomenon? How did it start? This is my first time hearing of it.

"Rickrolling is a new trend in online posting, in which a link is apparently provided to a seemingly interesting source, when in fact, it is a link to a Rick Astley video, "Never Gonna Give You Up".

My best guess for its source? 4chan

ouch.

Rick rolled was actually started as fake link of the new GTA4/halo 3 gameplay.

People would put links like: New Smash Brothers Brawl gameplay


Or some hot hyped game. It's funny because how the black guy danced compare to the whiteys and the singer sounds black. First time I heard this on the radio I really thought the singer was black.
