What happens when you click on a link/video, thinking it's something of interest (like porn, free online movie/show, or something your friend recommended), but it leads you to the music video for Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up".
This trick is pretty common because the video or link looks promising with an according title and thumbnail.
(NOTE: Very common on Youtube)
Man 1: "Hey dude, I'm sending you this link to this killer porn site! Best ever!"
Man 2: "All right!" (clicks on link)
(Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" plays)
Man 1: "Dude! You just got Rick Roll'd!)

One of the most annoying internet pranks ever. Epic if you're the one pranking. You either are sent the link, thinking it's something interesting ... or clicking on a YouTube video to see something titled completely different; and then you randomly see Rick Astley's 80's video "Never Gonna Give You Up".
