After all these years, it's hard to believe it's gone.

You got rickrolled in 2026. Congratulations!
lastlybutfirstly@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.

It’s not the original though. The OG ended in RHA0.

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

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

Just shuffle through a few vpn servers until it works. Always does the trick for me ¯\(ツ)/¯

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? “He 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.

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.
- 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.

And almost nobody actually wanted to watch it.

samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
No, that’s just being Ricked.
ICastFist@programming.dev 2 months ago
How to finish the roll in that case?
moonshadow@slrpnk.net 2 months ago
I believe subversion of expectation is required
Squirrelsdrivemenuts@lemmy.world 2 months ago
My boyfriend and I share a spotify account and when one of us notices the other one is listening we insert the song into the queue. Most of the time my boyfriend doesn’t even notice he is getting rickrolled.

To make you check and rickřoll you indirectly. It’s an edited screenshot, you don’t see metadata of unavailable videos

… So not only I got Rick Rolled in 2026, I actually went there myself, like a double tap.
Nicely done!
tackleberry@thelemmy.club 2 months ago
