an internet phenomenon in which someone provides a link claiming it to be relevant to the topic at hand, only for that link to redirect you to the music video of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up."
something that is years ago but is still used today, if you hear: "never gonna give you" just know that you have been rick rolled
really I wont rick roll you, I am not bad, cause it is bad, know that I wont do it, rick roll is old, of course this is not a rick roll, like- why would I do that, look at every letter after the coma.
The ancient art of trickery known by man for many millennia. To send someone to the realm of eternal shame and despair that they will feel for many hours.
To mislead someone by taking them to the a rick roll video, instead of taking them to the one you were talking about (not related to the rick roll video).
Person 1: Here's a video that shows proof that ghosts are real!
Person 2: Thanks! *clicks on link* GOD STOP RICK ROLLING ME!

Rick Roll
A Rick Roll is a link to the RickAstley music video "Never Gonna Give You Up", which is posted in the middle of a discussion. People click the link and are directed to the video, and are thus "Rick Rolled".
However, a Rick Roll is also a sex move, in which the man (who may sometimes be called Rick) lies on top of the woman (who may sometimes be called Roll) and they lock into each other and roll back and forth on the bed. This move is generally performed while listening to "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley.
"Yeah, I totally got Rick Rolled last night by some babe."
"I got Rick Rolled twice in under ten minutes."
"I love it when I get Rick Rolled."

Rick Roll
To send someone a link to 80s pop star Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" video, making them believe that they're gonna see something completely different. The meme originated in 4chan's /v/ (videogame) board, when the official "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" trailer was coming out on the game's website but couldn't be watched due to heavy traffic. Playing a prank on everyone who was reading, an anonymous 4chaner said that the trailer was on YouTube and posted a link to Astley's song. Since then, the Rick Roll has been made countless times, not only on 4chan but on the whole of the Internet.
Matt: You gotta check out this new band, it's awesome! Look, here's the video.
