Will all due respect, Mr. Astley, the rickroll only works because of that voice, that hair, that effortless sway, that trench-coat and that catchy tune. And because you embraced it, laughed with us, and you were completely authentic and genuinely talented, you’re now a multi-generation icon and a legend. We literally wouldn’t get this from any other guy.
By far, the biggest single rickroll was by RUclips years ago, when they changed every video on the home page to redirect to Never Gonna Give You Up. It was an April Fool's prank, too.
I wonder if he'd be on the show if it wasn't for Rik Rolling. Somehow I doubt it. I'm glad he's taken it well, he's probably just pissed he can't get any royalties from it being played around the world millions of times
3:06 "It is just a song somebody chose..." No it is not just a song, it is a catchy song which once stuck in your head you will keep repeating the whole day. Nothing to be ashamed off.
Just to set the record straight: He may be most well-known for Never Gonna Give You Up, but in the UK alone he has had eight Top 10 Singles and five Top 10 Albums. When he took a hiatus from the music industry in 1993, he had sold approximately 40 million albums worldwide. He returned to music in 2001 and has released albums certified Platinum and Gold in the UK.
If memory serves me well, he's actually had 5 Top 10 hits here in the States. NGGYU, TF, SWTDWM, IWTASM & CFH - he deserves a lot more respect here in the US (and i find it sorta odd that people still think of him (to an extent) as a one hit wonder.
@@maouAOUT Yup. Fantastic career in the UK...but I think here in the US people forget he had a successful career (chart wise) here too. We Yankees should respect his legacy a bit more...I think anyway. Cheers!
The first time I was rickrolled, I immediately thought "OMG, I *LOVE* THIS SONG!!" I listened to it over and over -- and when I discovered "Together Forever" which is just as catchy, I was set. BOTH songs are classics that will live forever.
Something about Emma's eyes / face in general gets me when she asks him about rickrolling. The close-up on her face reads like she's terrified of offending him but she's just like a deer in headlights and she HAS to know the answer to her question. Lmao. She really does seem quite sweet.
Sole Survivor it’s called being a clean living human being. Just cuz he’s a celebrity doesnt mean it’s plastic surgery. You probably say this cuz ur surrounded by a bunch of ugly older people
I like this man, he seems humble and poised, equally recognizing his "legacy to the world" but also getting crap in a good humour. By the way I love the song, it is perfect!
In the beginning it didnt have anything to do with him, but he has gained so much love from this I think people really appreciates him now and he gained a new cult following.
Rick's deep soulful voice made him sound the opposite of what he was (a pasty red haired boy). When everyone saw him for the first time after hearing his voice on the radio they were like "That is the guy singing that song? " That is the original Rick Roll. Since then its being convinced you're seeing or hearing one thing and then finding out its very different than what you thought is the epitome of a rick roll. That video has become synonymous with having expectations shattered (good or bad).
EXACTLY...been a fan of Rick's since day 1, and I've always said he's the perfect example of not looking how he sounds! This deep, soulful voice, but it's coming out of this puppy faced 'kid' - NAH. Sure enough - the guy is legit - and he still looks great (and sings great).
@@EchoesDaBearI always thought the same of Glenn Medeiros, who also in the 1980s looked nothing like you’d expect after hearing his very deep and soulful voice. They were part of such a fun, memorable, and relatively wholesome time in pop music.
She was exaggerating because she realized her story wasn't going over as well as she had hoped. You can kind of see the moment she sensed she was losing the crowd and decided to pump it up and quickly end the bit. I found it admirable lol.
@@AndrewMacLaine No that's really what it did, it was extremely annoying and not funny at all when it first started because you really couldn't stop it without shutting down your computer.
buzzardbeatniks nah, she’s definitely talking about the site that would resize your browser window, move it around randomly, and just have single lines of lyrics pop up everytime you tried to close the window. it was hard to get out of, but you could do it after a minute or two.
Back when rickrolling was a thing, I encountered it on youtube. Someone would prank you and say "Thought of you when I heard this..." and of course if your friends from way back say that... That was pretty innocent, not a virus or anything other than a misdirection that had you listen to the song for a measure or two until you clicked out of it.
The first time I was rickrolled I clicked on a video that was supposed to be ocean waves, I forget why, and then 30 seconds it turned into Never gonna give you up. I think it's the best prank, and I love the song, so it always make me laugh :)
Our teacher for government posted a link for the seniors that was labeled "FINAL EXAM ANSWER KEY". It was a link to Never gonna give you up. They were livid that morning.
I was rickrolled by a guide video for a boss in World of Warcraft. The video started, someone started to explain and suddenly the refrain part of the music video for Never gonna give you up cut in and rickrolled me. At first it was disturbing, then it was very funny. :D
DAMN Rick aged well. I remember having a crush on him as a teenager. Many of the singers/actors I had crushes on back then haven't aged nearly so well.
Rick looks ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS STILL!! A classy guy that's still got it!! I was a huge fan of his in the 80's and went to see him with my sis at the Manchester Apollo back in the day...love him ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Really bad joke alert (although for some reason, it made me chuckle when I heard it) ‘Rick asked to borrow some of my Pixar DVDs. I told him you can have Cars and Finding Nemo but I’m never gonna give you Up.’ Cough... I’ll get my coat!
The fact that he looks the same as he did back in the 1987 tells me he must be a vampire! Oh and I once Rickrolled an audience one night while I was performing with a band lol. We started a song I normally sing, stopped suddenly and then started playing "Never Gonna Give You Up". The audience just busted out laughing, as did I :D ...so worth it!
@@ktang001 Keep in mind that was about a decade ago now. I wouldn't even know where to begin to look for a video of it. I think it's just one of those moments where you had to be there. We performed in a bar on a random night back in I believe 2012 or maybe 2013.
He's aged very well indeed. I've had a crush on Rick since 1987. He still looks great. Melissa McCarthy is so awesome. "That should be a documentary!!"
Did you just concatenate three other highly liked comments in this comment section into one comment hoping it would get you likes? Well, look how that turned out.
Saw Rick when he supported Take That in concert in Cardiff in June 2019. No word of a lie, we thought he was brilliant. Fantastic singer and voice. And did not realise how many great songs he had released and not just “that one”. Nice guy.
One of my favorite students ever Rick-rolled me in an essay. Funniest thing ever. I'm reading... reading... lyrics... and then he went back to his essay. It was brilliant.
The first song i remember from my small childhood, is "Together Forever" by him. 13 different version is on my phone right now (the favoruite is the original's extented version, 7 minutes😎😎😎)
I remember my first rick roll, it was on facebook or something and it was a post of someone telling their sad story. And ... ONLY at the end are you told you’ve been rick rolled and how. EVERY word that started the next line was the lyrics so afterwards you see the lyrics of the song going down the post. It was too good to be mad at.
I mean, when Never Gonna Give You up came out, he was in his twenties but he looked like 12, so I guess it follows that he looks younger too right now.
We had DJ of the day for our work bathroom- you could send your playlist over for all the songs that would play that day. Yeah, definitely got Rick Rolled at work. It was hilarious- no matter the timing- it was always playing the bathroom. Legitimately, it brought so many smiles and such laughter to work... it's a great thing.
I remember when Rick Rolling began. It was quite literally the first thing RUclips was ever really used for. Some of them were funny. It is something kids today have no clue about. I did get Rick Rolled like last year or something cause I was on a strange science binge and there was a video saying that there was an inexplicable noise being emitted from Mars, I think it was, and I was like oh I'm hooked. And it was very faint and you realize....boom you've been Rick Rolled. It honestly made my day cause it took me back to when I was a teenager.
How are there people out there who haven't been rickrolled?! I've been rickrolled at least 1000 times and that was just by my friends.. that doesn't count the other 50 times I've been rickrolled on a TV show or movie.
I will never get sick of Never Gonna Give You Up! Rickrolling isn't super common anymore, but every time it happens, I listen to the whole song... Sometimes twice! 😁 RUclips ads have killed the surprise element though...
I got Rick-Rolled for the first (and only) time in 2013. A fellow programmer on my team had it that everytime I clicked on Chrome it would pop up the video, and every 30 minutes it would popup by itself.
I Rick Roll my family every now and then by casting the video from my phone to various devices around the house much to their annoyance. It's my signature "peace out" after they think I have gone to bed. mwahahahahaha
I LOVE Melissa McCarthy totally going nuts over Rick Astley & his trench coat. My dad introduced me to Rick(as a child) & I've been super into his music ever since. He still sounds incredible.
Actually I just remembered when they asked Waterman who was the real talent out of all the ones he made famous he said Rick, ha said he tried to convince him to go for the fame but he just didnt want it then. I respect him for that
I still rickroll people to this day, the "old-fashioned" way. I like the song, though. Danish comedian Martin Brygmann rickrolled Rick Astley on stage when the latter last had a concert in Copenhagen.
The way she explains Rickrolling isn't how it happened usually. You'd click on a link and instead of what you expected, it would be the youtube video of the official "Never Gonna Give You Up" song. Never once did I experience all the pop ups that wouldn't stop unless I restarted my computer. But I still love that song and video and love getting rickrolled lol.
I think someone basically hacked her computer, or she's misremembering things. It's just a prank YT link to a video, and what she's describing is akin to e-mail malware, lol.
Rick Astley is such a cool guy and a good sport about the whole Rick Rolling thing. My two favorites: About 10 years ago I'm watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade when this one float stops and out pops Rock Astley singing Never Gonna! He, personally, Rick Rolled the Macy's parade! Back in 2017 the Foo Fighters were playing at a fest or something in Japan and Rick Astley was at the same fest (or playing nearby or something). Dave Grohl had been talking about how Never Gonna and Smells Like Teen Spirit have a similar chord progression. Grohl finds out Astley is there and asks him to come perform with them onstage. Here is that live mashup: m.ruclips.net/video/3GE0AiC-mi8/видео.html
People now only think of it as a joke but in the 80’s the song was a huge worldwide hit. In 25 years time what people think as cool music now will be regarded in the same way!
I was drunk one night and I Rick Rolled my friends. Nobody was laughing but me, and I laughed for a straight minute in the corner of the room. It was a fun time for me at least. This was this past spring, boy am I a weirdo! Lol!!!
Will all due respect, Mr. Astley, the rickroll only works because of that voice, that hair, that effortless sway, that trench-coat and that catchy tune. And because you embraced it, laughed with us, and you were completely authentic and genuinely talented, you’re now a multi-generation icon and a legend. We literally wouldn’t get this from any other guy.
👏👏👏👏
He never liked the fame/credit.
He walked away from singing because of that. Makes him uncomfortable, but it's the truth.
100% agree with you
I’m glad you told us how you were feeling!
He needed to make us understand.
Oh, now, you certainly win an internet comment award! 🥇
That was poetically beautiful.

Lol fantastic
Rick Rolling will never get old. It's funny but He's right; it has nothing to do with him. what an amazingly nice guy Rick Astley is.
I legit want him to do a studio version of the version he did with the Foo Fighters.
He is a terrific guy. I was a minion at his label for a while and he was never a jerk.
I wonder if he'd be on the show if it wasn't for Rik Rolling. Somehow I doubt it. I'm glad he's taken it well, he's probably just pissed he can't get any royalties from it being played around the world millions of times

His voice is so goddamn velvety.
Please tell me a story.👻
I had no idea he was British. He has a speaking voice like that and a singing voice like that? DANG.
I've had a crush on Rick since 1987. He still looks great.
I wrote him a fan letter back then!!! Sigh!!!
So have I. I was 12 when the video of "when i fall in love" came out, that's what did it for me.
I was 7 in 1987 so I wasn’t feeling it then but as a 43 year old I’m like WOWOWEEWAH!
Rick Astley was famous before everyone on the show. He's now a Legend.

Never once did I experience all the pop ups that wouldn't stop unless I restarted my computer. But I still love that song and video and love getting rickrolled lol.
I think someone basically hacked her computer, or she's misremembering things. It's just a prank YT link to a video, and what she's describing is akin to e-mail malware, lol.
His voice now is just a good if not better than in 1987.
I can’t believe how good he still looks and sounds to this day.
Rick's such a good looking guy. He's aged very well.
Rick Astley is such a cool guy and a good sport about the whole Rick Rolling thing. My two favorites:
About 10 years ago I'm watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade when this one float stops and out pops Rock Astley singing Never Gonna! He, personally, Rick Rolled the Macy's parade!
Back in 2017 the Foo Fighters were playing at a fest or something in Japan and Rick Astley was at the same fest (or playing nearby or something). Dave Grohl had been talking about how Never Gonna and Smells Like Teen Spirit have a similar chord progression. Grohl finds out Astley is there and asks him to come perform with them onstage. Here is that live mashup: m.ruclips.net/video/3GE0AiC-mi8/видео.html
I love this song! My younger brother always teased me-"never gonna let you go"!💖😁
I luv luv Rick Astley ❤️...he is gorgeous
People now only think of it as a joke but in the 80’s the song was a huge worldwide hit. In 25 years time what people think as cool music now will be regarded in the same way!
He's never old
He's so damn good!
I was drunk one night and I Rick Rolled my friends. Nobody was laughing but me, and I laughed for a straight minute in the corner of the room. It was a fun time for me at least. This was this past spring, boy am I a weirdo! Lol!!!
