You got rickrolled in 2026. Congratulations!

[–] lastlybutfirstly@lemmy.world 49 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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.

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."

[–] markz@suppo.fi 50 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Ha! Excellent try, but I know exactly what you're doing.

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.

you can't troll me, youtube is currently A/B testing me by banning my IP unless I login which I rarely do.

[–] tackleberry@thelemmy.club 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

screw youtube. they are doing the same to me

[–] bebabalula@feddit.dk 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Me too. Are we sure there even is a B in this A/B test?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 9 points 2 weeks ago

A stands for Ass, B stands for Butt and since Asses and Butts are the same thing, you won't notice the difference.

1.5 billion views. Who knew this song would reach such fame decades after its release.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (3 children)

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
