Jimbo's Drinker Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 In 2007, an internet phenomenon known as "Rickrolling" began to spread rapidly. Its origins can be traced to 4chan, where there existed previously a fad called "duckrolling": claiming a link has something interesting or amusing in its target thread (on 4chan) but which turns out to be a thread with an initial "duckroll" image; thus, the user has been duped, or "duckrolled", much like a snipe hunt on the Internet. "Rickrolling" consists of the same thing, but routed to Astley's video of "Never Gonna Give You Up".[2] Notable examples of this meme entering the mainstream are Carson Daly's attempt to Rickroll his audience [1] and a performance of the song in the Family Guy episode "Meet the Quagmires." One hyperlink frequently used is a classic MTV version of "Never Gonna Give You Up" posted on YouTube on November 27, 2006. As of August 8, 2007, the YouTube video had been viewed 2 million times. Discography My question is this...how do i get this to work in gmail or on lotus notes. I would want a message to say click here, and it be directly linked to a youtube video link.?
