YouTube Removes Original RickRoll Video

[JMcEntegart]

Rickrolling isn't exactly an art form; you just send some poor, unsuspecting Web surfer a link to Rick Astley's hit song, "Never Gonna Give You Up" with the promise that it's something else. It's simple and it can be hilarious.

You turned around and hurt me, YouTube. ;_;

Hmm... It was good while it lasted, but I guess they need this for rolling out of the "Nickel Rick Roll" service, brought to you by your favorite record company!

The Italian goverment threatened to sue youtube.com execs for breaking the "we're stupid" policy.

Rick Astley has a great sense of humor about it; he doesn't just "not mind" it, he helped Cartoon Network Rickroll the entire nation, live, at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. I'm not a fan of 4chan memes, but that was a truly epic moment.

It seems odd that they used it themselves if they claim copy right violation. There must be something else at work here.

They probably got Cease and Desist letters from some fricken RIAA Lawyer...

I had some good times @ work rick rolling people. The first time they get hit they just have no idea why you are laughing at them. The second time you rickroll someone there like ...ya ya ha ha...the third time it starts getting goofy and much more difficult and this is where the fun begins. We got so bad in our IS department that no one would open a link without checking it first, but of course there are ways to spoof that too, which really added to the fun!

Good times, RickRoll will be missed, Rick Astley won't be. lol

The whole thing sounds kind of weird.

 

[climber]

The next craze will be, "Walk the Dinosaur"... lol

Wow, I consider myself a major internet geek, but I have never heard of this "Rickrolling" prank. Am I outdated? What ever happened to 2g1c?

I am sure Mr. Astley won't be shedding any tears when you meet your demise either.

Also, the song was written and produced not by Mr. Astley but by the songwriting conglomeration known as SAW (Stock, Aitken & Waterman). I have a feeling they are the ones behind the takedown notices.

I am glad I got my laughs out of this video while It was still up. I had a GF over at the time, we got drunk and placed this video on repeat again and again and danced for like an hour. Was freaking hilarious.

Has anyone else seen the movie and Nick and Noras Infinite Playlist? Is the band Are You Randy supposed to be a "live" Rickroll? I saw it a few months ago but I havent been able to confirm this.
