meta rick'n'roll. well played sir.
Nice try nerd, I've been duckrolled into oblivion
It is hard to believe. I’m not going to believe you. I’m not falling for that trick.
Yes, never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down..
This thread did a great job showing which lemmy instance users can't be taken seriously lol.
We all thought we were safe and then OP pulled one off again.
This is next level shit. You made me Rick roll myself
Saw an interview with him last night. They were totally unprepared to film that video, amateur hour. He was young and scared shitless, made up the dance on the spot. Guy doing backflips? "Hey guys! Watch what I can do!" In the video he went. There was a guy yelling out his apartment window for them the shut the fuck up down there. Wardrobe? Nope, those were his own clothes.
Rick Astley was Ren before Ren.
Ren as in Kylo, MC, or "& Stimpy"?
Ren Gill.
1.5 billion views. Who knew this song would reach such fame decades after its release.
Not nearly as big of a story but you should hear about BER - The Night Begins to Shine..
- Written in 2005 as an assignment to "create an 80s-style song for a music library's
- In 2014, appeared in an episode of Teen Titans Go for fewer than 10s as a throwaway joke.
- Immediately Hit #23 in Billboard charts
- Inspired TTG to make followup miniseries with covers by bands like Fallout Boy and Ceelo Green
And on that thread, Subways of your Mind by FEX. A group of West German friends who recorded music together but were never picked up had a recording of their song on the radio from the 80s become "The most mysterious song on the internet" which led to them getting back together and making new music in the 2020s.

Still up, I checked
You got rickrolled in 2026. Congratulations!
It worked best when YT had banner ads instead of video ads. Today you get Wix rolled for a minute or two before you get to the Rick.
There are people who watch ads on Youtube?
You need more Revanced in your life
Or ublockOrigin
Or set your VPN to a country where they don’t monetise videos (Albania’s one)

What? Why?
To make you check and rickroll you indirectly. Iťs an edited screenshot, you don't see metadata of unavailable videos
No he never
Fool me once shame on you.
Fool me twice and "I just wanted to check how many views it had by now that's all."
He gave you up 😞
He let us down.
He ran around, and deserted us!!
He made us cry.
He said goodbye
He told a lie and hurt us!

I still can't believe he was 20 when he recorded that.
Ha! Excellent try, but I know exactly what you're doing.
I didn't have the url in my browser history, but I just typed it from memory
But, XcQ!
XcQ!
You can't troll me, YouTube won't autoplay on my machine!
