The idea of posting the URL to a stand alone meme gif instead of actually posting the gif feels like the highest tier of memeing.
That is how the rickroll came to be…
I actually shocked no one did that in this thread (yet).
Honestly, I'm shocked there isn't a small site that's just a rickroll to get around everyone that's memorized the YouTube URL.
There definitely are ones. Back when I worked at a smaller tech company, I had an old co-worker who was solely responsible for running our internal DNS. They periodically created new internal URLs that redirected to Rickrolls and shared hid them in random internal docs.
My favorite was one he gave to our CEO who put it in a PowerPoint without checking it first and he clicked it during a presentation! Everyone was a good sport about it.
Those were good times…
