Sometimes,Love Nonetheless you see your shot and you just got to take it.
That's what Redditor theMalleableDuckdid when they brilliantly Rickrolled the real Rick Astley.
In case you've lived under an internet rock since... well... since the internet was a thing, Rickrolling is when someone trolls another person by linking out to Rick Astley's classic 1987 earworm, "Never Gonna Give You Up" while claiming the link is something else.
The actual Rick Astley on Wednesday posted a wholesome old picture on Reddit. In the photo, a young Astley is cruising on a pretty sweet beach cruiser bike.
"I’ve found a few funny memories during lockdown," the post read. "This is from my 1st tour in 89, backstage in Vegas."
That's when Redditor theMalleableDuck struck.
"I think I might cry!!! It’s actually you," they wrote. "I met you at a backstage event when I was 12. Seriously a big fan. I’ve seen you in concert five times."
Now, you can probably guess where that link leads.
Astley responded with a clapping emoji, which implies that yes, Rick Astley himself clicked the link and was Rickrolled.
Astley has shown an appreciation for Rickrolling — he has said it introduced his work to an entire generation — so it makes sense he seemingly took the joke all in good fun.
"I don’t see it as negative. If someone had messed around with it and cut it all up and made me look stupid — I mean I look pretty stupid anyway in that video — if it was nasty, then I’d be probably a bit pissed off, but it’s not," he told Rolling Stone in 2016. "It’s like, 'We’re choosing that video because it’s a full-on Eighties, cheesy video.' There’s no getting away from it now and I’ve got to own it because if I don’t, it’s like being petty."
