Rickrolling

Rickrollingul este o glumă pe internet care implică de obicei videoclipul din 1987 a lui Rick Astley cu piesa „Never Gonna Give You Up”. Gluma este de tip momeala și comutator (capcana pe baza de momeala): o persoană care furnizează un link web pe care il pretinde a fi relevant pentru victima (de obicei documentatie), dar link-ul de fapt dirijeaza spre vizionarea videoclipului lui Astley. URL-ul poate fi mascat sau obstructionat într-un fel, astfel încât utilizatorul sa nu poata sa determine destinația reală a link-ul, fără a da click. Atunci când o persoană care face clic pe link și este condus la pagina web, el sau ea este informat(a) că a fost "păcălit de Rick" (Rick Rolled).

Rickrolling-ul s-a extins dincolo de link-uri Web pentru redarea clipului video sau a melodiei în alte situații, inclusiv în locuri publice; [1] aceasta a culminat atunci când Astley și cântecul a făcut o apariție surpriză în 2008 la Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, [2] un eveniment televizat cu zeci de milioane de telespectatori.
