The RickRoll is old. It's done. It's over. I've seen more RickRolls here than EVERYWHERE ELSE I GO COMBINED - and I don't even have time to visit here too often anymore.
It WAS funny. Last year. The fifth time.
It's gotten to be like the guy who just discovered the internet and is amazed at how he can email these really cool jokes to all his friends. Unfortunately, his friends saw the joke 17 years ago.
Let's stop the RickRolls. Otherwise I'm gonna have to send my RickPeace friends out spray paiting every Astley clip with rainbow spray paint.

If you haven't seen it in a few months it's funny when someone breaks it out again. When it's forced in as the punchline of every thread it's beyond stupid.
Seriously guys, it's worn out. Next you'll be showing us cutting-edge pictures of a cat that wants a cheezburger.
Rickrolling is an Internet meme typically involving the music video for the 1987 Rick Astley song "Never Gonna Give You Up". The meme is a bait and switch: a person provides a web link that he or she claims is relevant to the topic at hand, but the link actually takes the user to the Astley video. The URL can be masked or obfuscated in some manner so that the user cannot determine the true destination of the link without clicking. When a person clicks on the link and is led to the web page, he or she is said to have been "Rickrolled" (also spelled Rickroll'd).
As the practice has spread, two of the various Rickrolling videos available online have been viewed more than 39 million times combined.[1][2] These figures track the total number of visits, not individual viewers. Rickrolling has extended beyond Web links to playing the video or song disruptively in other situations, including public places [3] this culminated when Astley and the song made a surprise appearance in the 2008 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade,[4] a televised event with tens of millions of viewers.
In connection with the online meme, "Never Gonna Give You Up" was played and performed at most of the Project Chanology February 2008 protests against the Church of Scientology.[12][13] On February 10, 2008 protests in New York City, Washington, D.C., London, St. Louis, Detroit, and Seattle, protesters played the song through boomboxes and shouted the phrase "Never gonna let you down!", in what The Guardian called "a live rick-rolling of the Church of Scientology".[10] In response to a Web site created by Scientologists showing an anti-Anonymous video, Project Chanology participants created a website with a similar domain name with a video displaying the music video to "Never Gonna Give You Up".[10]
