This morning I stumbled upon YouTube’s April Fool’s Joke. Every featured Video on the YouTube home page links directly to the music video for Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up. I did not realize it at first, and I found myself watching the video thinking, “Did I actually click on this?”
It turns out that the video, which was a number one hit in the late 80’s, is an infamous internet meme called a Rickroll.
A Rickroll is where an internet prankster posts a link in a discussion, claiming that the link contains content related to the discussion. When the user clicks on the link, they are taken to the Rick Astley video. They have just been Rickrolled.
Please comment and post your April fools findings here.
