Never Gonna Give You Up

The first meme I became aware of was called the "Rick Roll." This meme falls into the 'Troll' category. Whenever possible, you try directing someone to this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0. It leads you to this video:
This is meant to frustrate the intended target, because you have led them somewhere that is meant to frustrate someone who clicks the link. This video has nearly 49,000,000 views, which is mind boggling. The Rick Roll originated from the Duck Roll, which was a picture of a toy duck with wheels. Rick Roll caught on, and replaced the Duck Roll. Getting Rick Rolled has become infamous on the internet, and to someone in the 'know' clicking any link can be a trap! I have been Rick Roll'd many times, and it brings great pleasure to the troll if you do.

Also I totally just Rick Roll'd you.
