Since 2007, millions of people around the world have been pranking each other with false links that redirect to a 1980s music video. The phenomenon has become known as the "Rick Roll," and has become an integral part of internet pop culture. The question is, where did it come from, and why did it become so popular?

I am 32 and I dont wanna see another "truth behind". There is another lie behind of behind everything. Disgusting.
no its 2001 the two uhhh ummm tow- i mean cars
So is this one of the reasons that caused 9/11? A year isn't that far after all this
90s cortana version 😂😂😂
This is a great well researched video. Thank you very much I love John Lennon. I believe John really wanted to find her. He seems like deep down he was missing real true family roots. She looks exactly like the mom Julia and John. I’m glad Yoko met her and she met her half sisters. Sad John missed the chance to finally meet her.
Can’t wait for Y2K38!
That UA-cam channel actually never had the videos that were shown in the username 666 video. The information on that channel was inaccurate.
Of course it will never stop. Imagine being a paypig
0:42 thats not lower manhattan, the X Y Z buildings are near timesquare
Windows 7 is the best OS. You can't change my mind
If downloading movie torrent and music is a crime? Then I’m going to be in jail for life with a 2 trillion dollar fine to pay off. I go to my local library every song day and use a torrent client to download lost some times two terabytes a day of content
NUH UH WINDOWS 7 BETTER XDXDXD LOL
UWU
no one nothing: newgrounds: aye im something here too!
I remember using Skype a lot when I was in a long distance relationship, how time changes
Not sure if anyone has looked into this avenue, but Usenet Archives and Google Group archives might be a good place to look for evidence of if this was discussed (I would do, but am currently at work). You can find a lot of old tech news and rumour discussion on there from the 90s and early 2000s which can't be found through the Wayback Machine, and some of it is very localized to specific areas. If it's not on there I wouldn't rule it out completely, as not everything ever discussed in these groups was archived, but you can find some really interesting stuff in there that Google search just... doesn't bring up anymore. Great video overall. If it is real, I wonder if Microsoft higher-ups were embarrassed about the prank and asked bigger news websites to not cover the story.
2:34 As if that isn't the most evergreen statement about the internet that I've ever heard
3:38 THE SPONSOR!!! IT'S OVER
Bro this autoplayed & the intro got me running to answer "the call" 😂 🤣 😭
Straight faded off the Microsoft Bob
And now there is Y2K38
My favorite Windows 2000 feature (besides its stability) was the audio and video preview pane in File Explorer. I don't think XP even had that.

great video.
Also the Messaging App was amazing on windows 8
Windows 8 was awesome people were trash. The most stable Windows Os of all time
I was genuinely delighted last time I got rickrolled since it had been a good while since I last got got (and it was very well executed).
Pirates are some of the greatest preservationists of all time. If not for them, we wouldn't be able to play a lot of old video games. Nowadays most of us don't consider emulating abandonware piracy, but their efforts helped sow the seeds for what would become modern day emulation.
