Ah, the DataRiker maneuver
Inconceivable!
Never start a land war in Asia?
Still up, I checked www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
You got rickrolled in 2026. Congratulations!
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.
XcQ is the only one I ever saw…
afaik there were always a handful of different links out there
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.
Rick Astley was Ren before Ren.
Fool me once shame on you.
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..
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.
Omg you are right, here check this, its gone: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ&t=1
thejokebutworse
The joke but easier.
Good to see the url XcQ still going strong.
Does t=1 mean the first second is missing ( where it autostarts from)?
yes
He gave you up 😞
He let us down.
No he never
No he never
you can’t troll me, youtube is currently A/B testing me by banning my IP unless I login which I rarely do.
screw youtube. they are doing the same to me
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)/¯
Ha! Excellent try, but I will not be caught this easy.
I still can’t believe he was 20 when he recorded that.
But, XcQ!
XcQ!
I didn’t have the url in my browser history, but I just typed it from memory
You can’t troll me, YouTube won’t autoplay on my machine!
Don’t worry! There’s a mirror here:

He would never give us up like that!
they had the song on the radio while i was driving, wonder if that count as getting rick rolled 🤔
No, that’s just being Ricked.
How to finish the roll in that case?
I believe subversion of expectation is required
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.
I like this version more, subvert your victims’ expectations
Top drawer.
Lol
I have been Rick-rolled a total of 4 times out of that number
