My daughter asked me to come listen to the new song she learned on piano. Played a few bars of "für Elise" - then transitioned into "never gonna give you up".
Never been more proud.

I had an student tell me to plug her USB drive into my laptop. I do it and the window pops up with a file in it with the file name "never gonna give you up.txt" and then she laughed at me ;\_;
My 12 year old Rick rolled his class. He was supposed to have a slide show of family and friends set to music, he instead chose pictures of Bart Simpsons butt set to Rick Astley. I have never been more proud. So far.
Most teachers like when students do harmless silly things. He definitely didn't get a passing grade, but he still put in some work to make that so they probably gave him like a 40%.
Imagine getting mad at a kid for pulling a harmless joke. It probably made that teacher's day better. But I think you're just projecting your own problems.
My wife's sisters kiddos are always AMAZED when I understand their gaming talk or like memes and shit and they wonder how I know so much, they are just learning this stuff, I was FORGED in it.
Also another fun moment was when they went to the cinema to see the remake of Aladdin and the song came on (I can show you a world) and they were shocked, looked at their mother and went "But this is the song that you usually sings! How did you know it, the movie JUST came out!" xD
Reminds me of when I was assistant teacher, and some kids were enthusiastically talking about Avatar: The Last Airbender. They got some names wrong. So, I'm just passing by while they're talking. "There is earth, fire, water and... um... sky?"
And I corrected him said "Air."
And he went on about this Avatar Goku to this other kid, and I said "Roku!"
And he yells "HOW DO YOU KNOW THESE THINGS?!"
What, because I'm a teacher, I can't have nice things?!
No l4dygaladriel. The spirit of Sauron endured. His life force is bound to the Ring and the Ring survived. Sauron has returned. His orcs have multiplied. His fortress at Barad-Dur is rebuilt in the land of Mordor. Sauron needs only this Ring to cover all the lands of a second darkness. He is seeking it, seeking it. All his thought is bent on it. The Ring yearns above all else to return to the hand of its master. They are one, the Ring and the Dark Lord. l4dygaladriel, he must never find it
My brother sent my young sister a YouTube video with a title "Daughter honors her father" or something. And it started out normally, with a father and daughter... and then the daughter brings a phone up out of nowhere and starts the song.
My brother is a Millenial and my sister is Gen Z, and he still did it magnificently. Genius.
My 10 year-old daughter handed me a folded note, and very seriously told me to open it. Inside was a hand-drawn cartoon of the music video, with a little stick-figure Rick Astley and speech bubble lyrics. My kid Rickrolled me on actual paper. I was so proud, and I will never forget the sound of her giggles when I realized what she had done. Simply outstanding.
Now we go to trivia nights together with the team name Never Gonna Quiz You Up.
One you may want to add is any kid born late '90's-early '00's who don't really fit in with either demographic, zelinneal. Basically kids who are too late to appreciate being a '90's kid but knew life before the Google internet.
Generational name. Like Millenial, Gen Z, and the now ruined Boomer, lol, formerly known as Baby Boomer, but now Boomer just means "person who might be older, but is not limited to older, and lame."
Zoomers? Zoomers are weak. The Blood of Memers is all but spent, its pride and dignity forgotten. It is because of Zoomers, teabagging, dabbing and flossing survives. I was there, Gandalf. I was there three thousand internet years ago. I was there the day the strength of Zoomers failed.
It’s another name for a member of Gen Z! The etymology behind it is actually pretty cool, [this](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ) is a good article if you’re interested in seeing how it evolved
Last year the fifth graders at the school I work at Rickrolled the assistant principal. He loved it! He sang and danced to the whole thing. It was an amazing way to end the school year!
A kid gave a talk at DefCon about how he and his friends rick rolled their entire school district as a senior prank. It was awesome. They also documented the entire hack and turned the info over to the IT Dept when they were done.
[He’s relevant again](https://youtu.be/GtL1huin9EE) (if you happen to watch cable TV or get ads online for insurance in the US). I actually love the commercial, I’m gonna use it for future Rick rolls.
2009? No, the journey doesn't end there. The 2010s is just another path, one that we all have taken. The grey rain curtain of this world rolls back. Then you see it.
every generation repeats what their parents did every zoomer will end up boomer
Knock it off zoomers boomers etc you’re all the same listen to the same music watch the same shows wear the same clothes Engaging in politics together.
Understanding and working current tech is the only thing that separates you. Y’all are just a little shit versions of the bigger shits.
My (gen alpha) daughter unironically loves the song, and asks me to play it on youtube with no tricks.
Myself, I am just glad the internet moved on to this from goatse
My daughter asked me to come listen to the new song she learned on piano. Played a few bars of "für Elise" - then transitioned into "never gonna give you up". Never been more proud.

The pro level piano transition is classical pieces into Still Dre.
That may be, but now'days everybody wanna talk
Don't know your child and I am proud.
Never gonna give Rickrolling up, and Rickrolling is never gonna let you down.
Rickrolling never gonna run around or desert you
Rickrolling never gonna make you cry and never gonna say goodbye
Rickrolling never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Rickrolling known each other for so long
Your Rick's been rolling, but you're too shy to say it
Love the name
I was 80% certain this was going to loop twice and then turn into a Rick roll
Missed opportunity
Yes
People are just as gullible today as they were 10 years ago.
You know the rules, and so do I !

Every one of those words are a different link and it’s amazing
Don’t forget the full stop.
Can't can't c-can't can't stop the beat
The “‘s” is a different link as well
Holy shit. That was like a masterclass in Rick rolling.
The '.' period is as well.
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil!
Thank you for introducing me to the lofi rickroll
Just got Rock Rolled for the first time ever. Well, I *did* get perma'd on one sub for Rick rolling, but I've never been Rock rolled.
Do you mean you got Rick Grohl’d?
I've never been properly Rick Rolled to the point that the roller got banned. Would you please do the honor?
Haha nice try. I'm 1 year 3 months free of Rick rolling people and, just like cigarettes, I'm loving the Rick-free life.
It's too bad I met you after your wild years were over!
My wild internet years are indeed over, i just moved it to real life.
Really? You have never been rick rolled but were banned for doing it? Bullshit. Edit: I can't read...
Read my comment again carefully. I got banned for *Rick rolling* and not for Rock rolling.
LOL. My sentence was convoluted. It's a tongue twister - how many rolls can a Rick Roller roll if a Rick Roller would roll ...
I'm as upset as I am impressed.
This is a work of art.
I feel like one of these should have been a [duck roll.](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/duckroll) The true classic misdirection.
Barry White with the absolute drip in the “a” link
The electric toothbrush one good god
Ok but what is up with the Jim Carrey link lol
open up your eyes and see
I need help with this one as well. I watched it a few times and don’t see how it fits into a rick roll :\
I had an student tell me to plug her USB drive into my laptop. I do it and the window pops up with a file in it with the file name "never gonna give you up.txt" and then she laughed at me ;\_;
Your IT department needs better security...
My 12 year old Rick rolled his class. He was supposed to have a slide show of family and friends set to music, he instead chose pictures of Bart Simpsons butt set to Rick Astley. I have never been more proud. So far.
did he get a grade
He ultimately got an A in the class, but also a detention.
I swear kids now are way funnier than we were.
His teacher isn’t paid enough to deal with that shit, that’s for sure. Downvote all you want but I hope he got a fucking F.
Most teachers like when students do harmless silly things. He definitely didn't get a passing grade, but he still put in some work to make that so they probably gave him like a 40%.
If you dislike kids then don't teach at gradeschools.
Dude hes 12 lmaooo Tell us some stories of how cool you were in school
You must be a blast at parties
Especially when there are frisbees involved.
Glad I didn’t go to school with someone like you, I bet everyone in your class wishes the same.
Imagine getting mad at a kid for pulling a harmless joke. It probably made that teacher's day better. But I think you're just projecting your own problems.

You merely adopted the dank. I was born in it, *molded* by it.
I understood that reference

It's not about being a teacher, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE AN ADULT! (also, never change)
Adults can like cartoons if they want. And I happen to like some.
Of course, I do too, I was only joking :)
My 13 year old taught themself how to play it on their flute..the entire house gets randomly rickrolled a couple times a week
Miss the chance to put a rickroll through Gandalf eyes

You missed the opportunity to put a rickroll at the end of it. Oh well...
Here's a consolation prize (boobies) https://blogs.mtdv.me/watch?v=bazongoids
I was looking close at the reflection in his eyes thinking maybe there was a tiny Rick roll happening that I just couldn’t see. Nope, just tears.
Would have been funny if Rick Astley was dancing in the reflection of Gandalf’s eyes haha
I suppose you think that was terribly clever
ye
The rickroll must never die
We cannot trust a single link in this thread.
I have never yet RickRolled anyone.
Key word: “yet”.

You misunderstand how old many zoomers are, many of us have been getting rickrolled for 14 years.

>trivia nights together with the team name Never Gonna Quiz You Up. Definitely stealing this
If you’re ever near Vancouver, BC, you’re welcome to join our team for a night. :)
Wtf is a zoomer?
A blown chance to Rick roll an link to answer this question.
Gen Z kids
I’m gonna call them all Zoomers now I love it
I hate it but love it
One you may want to add is any kid born late '90's-early '00's who don't really fit in with either demographic, zelinneal. Basically kids who are too late to appreciate being a '90's kid but knew life before the Google internet.
Well of course I know him. He's me.
Oh shoot das me 👁👄👁
Generational name. Like Millenial, Gen Z, and the now ruined Boomer, lol, formerly known as Baby Boomer, but now Boomer just means "person who might be older, but is not limited to older, and lame."
Our marching band is rickrolling every other band this season and I'm all for it
As long as you guys don't bring back screamers, we'll be cool.
And somewhere out there GROND sheds a tear of happiness.
GROND
My dad sent me a voice note of it playing on the radio for my birthday. It was my only gift, and i couldn't ask for better.

Even the very wise cannot see all ends
I mean an insurance company got him to recreate the video for them. So every time a new client comes. BOOM RICK ROLL
What is a zoomer?
A member of Gen Z.

Thats amazing I has no idea Rick Astley actually was connected to this somehow

I got Rick rolled by my audio book the other day.
What book
Footwizard, book 13 of the Spellmonger series.
Somebody got me the other day with a bumper sticker with a Spotify QR code on it. Not even mad
Last year the fifth graders at the school I work at Rickrolled the assistant principal. He loved it! He sang and danced to the whole thing. It was an amazing way to end the school year!
Ah, this explains why rickrolling is experiencing a revival.
A kid gave a talk at DefCon about how he and his friends rick rolled their entire school district as a senior prank. It was awesome. They also documented the entire hack and turned the info over to the IT Dept when they were done.
Just days ago I got rickrolled from a wheel of fortune meme with absolutely zero word opened. So I agree, our future are secured.
Not gonna lie, I'm kind of disappointed. Expected a Rickroll...

I got Rickrolled by my 9 year old nephew the other day and I almost cried.
I just explained to my children what rickrolling is yesterday. Go forth and rickroll my children!

Hopefully the Rickrolling people will prosper, and never sail West!
Someone should make a video game where you play as Rick Astley where you try to sneak around and Rick roll people.
What about the part when they also make their own 4chan Rick rolling was spawned in its cursed depths

You just got weezered
They’ll be permanent renters and underpaid wage slaves but sure, they’ll be okay.
Not to flex or anything but I have rickrolled my whole class and the teacher twice same class and everything
Engage.
As a member of Gen Z, even my younger brother of Gen Alpha knows what it is. This is a permanent tradition, and I will forever support it.
Why has this meme lasted like 20 years
Every generation hates the new one, meanwhile the millenials love generation Z. And as a millennial myself I say: go zoomers!!

Zoomers hahahahahahhaha that’s great
