Checkmate.

Pretty sure that's just concrete proof that there is no god.

Nice. Even though it's clearly a joke, I really want him to be 100% serious about that. It would be exponentially more hilarious.

isn't it about time this dies out completely? seriously?

That is a most compelling argument.

Wow... Are people still doing this... er... Should I still be doing this?

Here, it's an explanation as to how it caught on.

Did he died out completely?

-1/10, rick rolling is no longer the thing, and if you need to resort throwing it at the end of random videos like the hood meme, you have already failed in life.

Thanks Sheppard,
I do understand the phenomena, what I don't understand is why.
What is the spark that makes people want to do this.

The first time was, "???" weird
The second time was, "OK, you got me"
The third time was, "This is annoying - piss off"
Everything after that is, WTF, are you 10 years old - Really?
I shrug my shoulders and shake my head...

and Eric3579 - this isn't aimed at you - it's the people that keep creating this stuff.

People keep making it because people a) keep falling for it and b) keep voting for it. /looks at the top 15... =)

No, this is a valid question. Both rickrolls and religions fall into the category of memes that have continued to exist long after they should have been put to bed. And yet they're still out there.

Oh! Oh! Oh! That's just not fair!!
