Rickrolling is an Internet meme, a prank that involves giving the victim a hyperlink to Rick Astley's music video "Never Gonna Give You Up" instead of the one he was looking for. The link must be masked so that the victim cannot guess about the substitution before going to a new page. If you want to prank someone in this way, then this article will probably come in handy for you!

Steps

1. 1 Find the site where the clip "Never Gonna Give You Up" is posted. For example, YouTube has several versions, as well as other video hosting services. Use whichever site you like best.
2. 2 Copy the link to the video and use the link processing service. Some of them give you the opportunity to choose what the link will be, some do everything automatically. If you have a choice, then let the name of the link sound on the topic of the conversation.
3. 3 Paste the link into the chat or forum and state that it is directly related to the topic under discussion.
4. 4 Enjoy the reactions of other users.
