It got unfunny after overuse.

That is to say, after two, three times.

Not if done right.
Some people would write huge dramatic news stories and then post "Link" and send you to rick roll.

And it can be good with a short setup, if you can evoke enough interest. Like, I TayRolled (link to Tay Zondays cover of Never Gonna Give You Up) ZeroAsALimit by claiming it was a link to his favourite band appearing on Finnish TV. He appreaciated the prank.

A rick roll is basically linking to a youtube video, claiming that it's something else but is actually a video of Rick Astley's "Never gonna give you up"

Regardless of whatever content you use, it's basically just lying and it's annoying as fuck.

They were annoying anyways! What so great about rick rolling someone?!

Never Rick Roll'd someone, always Rick Roll'd by someone.

A strong emphasis on underlining.

I think Zerok banned linking to Rick Roll. I suppose it was overused?


Insert funny reference here.
