  • iamkevski, on 04/08/2008, -13/+300it worked!
  • laserblazer, on 04/08/2008, -167/+6I'm still Unrolled. I've pulled off one Rickroll, but never been the victim of one. In short, I rule the universe.
  • notque, on 04/08/2008, -25/+545Epic win.
  • StevesJobs, on 04/08/2008, -38/+23Digg - 1. City of New York - 0.

    [Negative 1 if you count Spitzer]
    • 10lbhammer, on 04/08/2008, -11/+119Q: how do you know spitzer is a democrat?

      A: he got caught with a female.

      you're right, I deserve to be dugg down for that.
      • fishbert, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1congratulations... you appear to be the only person who didn't trip over himself to laugh at a retarded internet meme

        (rick rolling is goatse for christians)
    • DontEatTheFish, on 04/08/2008, -2/+8by the way this wasn't really digg's win it was /b/(i know i know rule 1 and 2...) they posted first then someone submitted a digg article
      • agenthex, on 04/08/2008, -2/+12This was also posted to Fark among others. I'd say it's less Digg: 1 and more Internet: 1, New York: 0.
    • HayString, on 04/08/2008, -0/+8Look at all the different sites claiming responsibility in the youtube comments...
    • daguito81, on 04/08/2008, -3/+3don't worry, we all know it was Digg and that was it!
  • davidsmero, on 04/08/2008, -7/+504Job well done internet.
  • dsmatrix, on 04/08/2008, -57/+2237The video isn't that clear. Heres a higher quality one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yu_moia-oVI
    • lundeja, on 04/08/2008, -10/+106shea stadium looks an awful lot like a bad 80's video
    • EwMo, on 04/08/2008, -7/+116The video is clear enough. Thanks.
    • had3l, on 04/08/2008, -32/+9I think we need to diversify our Rick Astley videos to keep the meme always fresh.
      I vote for this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DNTS_8qj78
    • crowbar77, on 04/08/2008, -4/+69Thanks mate, dont know why they didnt link that one in the first place.
    • bryanwheatley, on 04/08/2008, -17/+5Should have seen that one coming... gah!
    • noots, on 04/08/2008, -12/+7it's the intro that makes it awesome. Hearing it start mid song makes it kinda lame.
    • VanD, on 04/08/2008, -4/+662HOW THE HELL DID I FALL FOR THAT!?!?!
      I'm a freaking idiot!
      • solesoul, on 04/08/2008, -0/+74I was trying to agree with you, but Diggs comment system sucks
        • afipanic, on 04/08/2008, -0/+4same here man. an i wanted to agree with you but digg wouldnt let me agree with an agreement on a article i cant digg up.
      • SolidSnake24, on 04/08/2008, -7/+1REJOICE! For once i have not got Rick Roll'd
      • chingy1788, on 04/08/2008, -1/+1meh, makes nice karaoke... so im happy anyways
      • alfredomancho, on 04/09/2008, -2/+1this rick-rolling business is going too far
      • eyver, on 04/09/2008, -0/+15I clicked on the link and my immediate thought as my mouse released: "I'm about to get Rick Roll'd, aren't I?"
      • donkeyshow, on 04/09/2008, -0/+4 mlb, pulled the original....and i excitedly clicked this link in hopes of seeing it.

        /Idiot!
      • Phatt138, on 04/09/2008, -7/+2You just lost The Game.
        • whoawen, on 04/09/2008, -0/+2Damnit man, why you gotta do stuff like that?
        • allseeingalmond, on 04/09/2008, -0/+2You bastard! Now I just got Rickroll'd AND lost The Game.

    • jeffinfremont, on 04/08/2008, -2/+183This rickroll of a rickroll is dangerous. If you keep this up the time/space continuum may collapse.
    • JoshChris, on 04/08/2008, -0/+17I should've known. *shakes head sadly*
    • JediPii, on 04/08/2008, -2/+19I can't believe I fell for that. Well played Sir. Well played.
    • kevinsboy, on 04/08/2008, -0/+28Even though we all know what it is..... we all click on it for the sick dance moves....
    • klassica, on 04/08/2008, -1/+18Haha... Even though I helped in Rick Rolling the Mets, this is actually the first time I've been legitimately Rick Rolled! Oh man...
    • UpBeetRob, on 04/08/2008, -1/+6I'm an idiot!
    • bpeacock22, on 04/08/2008, -1/+17I don't know what's more sad....that I actually click that link or that it took me a few seconds into the video to realize I had just been Rick Rolled for the first time.
    • lxevolution, on 04/08/2008, -7/+2I see what you did there.
    • Unclekoolaid, on 04/08/2008, -1/+5Bravo sir Bravo indeed

    • jfg84, on 04/08/2008, -1/+3Well done. Every time I happens I say, there's no way I can fall for it again. Two weeks later there it is.
      • maddonkey, on 04/08/2008, -0/+2For me it's just when I least expect it, sometimes not even a week later.

        But I still fall for it.
    • ThisIsMyPizza, on 04/08/2008, -2/+3Yep, that did it. I'm no longer a RR virgin.

    • say592, on 04/08/2008, -0/+2I like how thats funny in this story, but any other time, you are douche bag.

    • passedoutghost, on 04/09/2008, -0/+0I thought I was smart enough not to get rick rolled, but not smart enough. 10+ internets for you.
    • jttennisplaya81, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1That worked especially well due to the fact that the original link has been removed.


      *****
    • Chordinator, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1I thought, "Wow, so many diggs, the original video must have been REALLY *****." *click*

      ....*****!
    • xenosteel, on 04/09/2008, -1/+1I actually saw that one coming, but I clicked anyway.
    • crazyhorse13, on 04/09/2008, -0/+4You, sir, are the rick-roll master.
      I dub thee Sir dsmatrix, Lord of teh Internetz.
    • EricAnderton, on 04/09/2008, -0/+4Congrats.

      You managed to RickRoll half of Digg, in a RickRoll thread no less. I bow to your superior forum skills.
    • Impeller, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1You're an enTRAPment master...
    • BrotherJ, on 04/12/2008, -0/+1my first time to be legitimately rickroll'd. i applaud you, sir.
  • CYR1X, on 04/08/2008, -28/+1The fakez.
    • CYR1X, on 04/08/2008, -2/+3Come on, no one can tell that the music is coming from a different source than the tv?
      • renegade1029, on 04/09/2008, -0/+4Yeah, the shadows are all wrong
  • worlin, on 04/08/2008, -7/+52I'm sad the announcers weren't singing along.
  • zhepp, on 04/08/2008, -21/+3Were no strangers to love
  • Farmer77, on 04/08/2008, -9/+181Saw it live on TV. Awesome. Said to my bro "You hear that?" and he realize Shea Stadium was getting Rick Roll'd and smiled.
    • plup, on 04/08/2008, -4/+69Then you made love?
      • mKdiR, on 04/08/2008, -13/+2Why would you say that?
        • nunofgs, on 04/08/2008, -0/+17Because he brought his brother up for no damn reason. At least make somethink up to finish the story.
        • Pureeviljester, on 04/09/2008, -0/+11cause he was abused by his uncle and men are the only thing on his mind..
        • SysstemLord, on 04/09/2008, -0/+3For the lulz
    • Bazillions, on 04/09/2008, -0/+13That was the last time I seen my brother. Before he left he said, "Hey bro, look at Rick Astley, he made it and so can you."
      I'll never forget my brother.
  • davidrools, on 04/08/2008, -23/+2This could very easily have been faked but it looks legit. Additional evidence would be nice, though.
  • Feep, on 04/08/2008, -31/+4In hockey it would be a RickGoaling.
  • networld, on 04/08/2008, -13/+4you know the rules
  • had3l, on 04/08/2008, -10/+2We've been trying for a long time, to say what we want to say...
    But feelings don't come easy to express in a simple way.
  • lundeja, on 04/08/2008, -10/+3pwned
  • Merb, on 04/08/2008, -31/+784Next rickroll target: the inauguration of Barack Obama this January.

    WHO'S WITH ME?
    • EnricoCabredo, on 04/08/2008, -1/+58i sure as hell am
    • sporad1c, on 04/08/2008, -74/+10Same here, but I'm still hoping McCain makes it instead of Barack.
    • HyperJack, on 04/08/2008, -9/+4WHO'S WITH ME?
      WHO'S BLOODY WITH ME?
      Er....what film is that off?
    • leetninja, on 04/08/2008, -2/+4not hillary ... thats for sure ...
    • Tarkaan, on 04/08/2008, -0/+5That's one ***** up suggestion, but it needs to happen. Can anyone here get a hold of Tebo and see what he needs to put this song in rotation on the Obama playlist?
    • bubut, on 04/08/2008, -5/+181Wait, Ron Paul's not winning?
      • Mpwns, on 04/09/2008, -1/+4the way his stuff is all over the place still on the streets you would think he was.
    • imnojezus, on 04/08/2008, -5/+7I see what you did there.
    • graemee, on 04/08/2008, -1/+1Damn straight, can't wait.
    • CarStan, on 04/08/2008, -1/+51RIck Astley for Vice President!
      'Obama's never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down'.
      Best Rick Roll ever!
      • Connormac44, on 04/08/2008, -3/+6Rick Astley's Britishness = no vice president.
      • diggrnumber1, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1The Constitution does not specify any qualifications to be Vice President. therefore, rick astley could be vp. i don't know whether he could become president if obama died though, because i'm not sure if the natural born thing only applies to elections or not.
    • wrathchilde, on 04/08/2008, -2/+1Oh, HELL yeah.
    • NegativeS, on 04/08/2008, -0/+3Hell I don't care which one of them makes it, it just needs to happen.
    • SGTS3XY, on 04/08/2008, -5/+2I'm pretty sure Soulja Boy has the gig booked, but I'd love to see it happen!
    • greg2point0, on 04/08/2008, -25/+0i think you mean the inauguration of John McCain. (100 negative diggs, here i come!)
      • mgoblue5453, on 04/09/2008, -0/+51 negative digg for every year he wants to be in iraq....
    • 965473, on 04/08/2008, -1/+1LETS DO IT!!
    • mgoblue5453, on 04/09/2008, -1/+5Or at Hillary's press conference when she finally admits defeat! RICK ROLLED HILLARY!
      • asurroca, on 04/09/2008, -0/+2Her campaign is stupid enough... maybe we could find a way to convince them to adopt the song because of the "never gonna give you up" line....... Hellery Rick Rolling herself would be more epic than Rick Rolling Hellery
    • Rolex24, on 04/09/2008, -3/+1Obama or McCain, it's going to have to wait till next January because this January has already passed. Unless time travel is one of the proposed changes Barack is talking about, it can't happen.
    • builtby, on 04/09/2008, -4/+1unlike Rick, you have lied and hurt me.
    • jgizzle09, on 04/09/2008, -2/+5YES WE CAN!!!
    • Punkazz189, on 04/09/2008, -8/+3Is he going to run for PTA president?
      Pretty sure thats the only election he has a shot at.
      America is a racist bitch.
    • Tikisam, on 04/11/2008, -0/+1Buried because Obama sucks
  • furbyboy, on 04/08/2008, -17/+7EPIC WINRAR 4 TEH INTERNETZ!!!
  • Tobruk, on 04/08/2008, -9/+4I think being RickRoll'd was one of the few bright spots of todays game for the Mets fans... Sounded legit to me.....those darn announcers, I wanted to hear the opening day crowd singing along.
  • kurupt, on 04/08/2008, -6/+7Dugg! Still hoping this song wins the contest, so someone can come to the stadium wearing a trench coat and dance/sing-a-long to it during a game.
    • warplayer, on 04/09/2008, -0/+3I'm surprised there wasn't someone there on day one, ready with the trench coat and just waiting to hear the drum roll start up.
  • uncertainty, on 04/08/2008, -2/+90I was watching the game and all my friends and I said "No... *****... Way..." I wouldn't mind if they played for the rest of the season, but I know some other Mets' fans that are not happy with it. At least my friends and I had a good laugh.
    After, I immediately came to digg to search for related stories.
    • jgizzle09, on 04/09/2008, -4/+3damn...editing but no deletion...thanks digg team...buried :(
  • nolesfan247, on 04/08/2008, -4/+43Not to mention, all the people watching that game got Rick Roll'd, whether they know it or not!
    • Nudar, on 04/08/2008, -10/+2If they didn't even know it, can it truly be a rock roll?
      • CurlyMike139125, on 04/08/2008, -3/+15Sir, your shipment of fail has arrived.
    • repick3, on 04/09/2008, -0/+6People watch baseball?
  • asskicker32, on 04/08/2008, -7/+2Dugg. Good on ya, mets!
  • xsquirrel378x, on 04/08/2008, -9/+4i know what love is. his name is rick astley :')
  • snapplecap, on 04/08/2008, -12/+2lololololol
  • gonegoogling, on 04/08/2008, -10/+4i'd rather be rick roll'd than johan santana roll'd
  • SpeakerCity, on 04/08/2008, -5/+7lol at the youtube tags!
    rick astley is god
  • Yeknom, on 04/08/2008, -2/+147How ***** cool would that be if Rick made an appearance?
  • VacaN, on 04/08/2008, -4/+54I thought I got rickroll'd over the internet than I realize the music was coming from my television. EPIC LULZ.
  • JtCann, on 04/08/2008, -7/+19I just got home from the game, I could barely hear the song. It was booed from start to finish
  • SpectralSounds, on 04/08/2008, -2/+8Wow, I didn't think this would work. I remember voting for the Spice Girls to play their last show in Iraq (Which actually won because of a few sites voting).. and they backed out of that real quick.
    • sporad1c, on 04/08/2008, -0/+7Which is *****, they should have played in Iraq.....In a minefield.
    • WallnutBoy, on 04/08/2008, -1/+11See, Rick Astley ain't scared of no iraqis.
      • kcdstudios, on 04/08/2008, -0/+6he wouldn't tell a lie, to hurt....us
  • DtotheC34, on 04/08/2008, -2/+38is that a record for most people simultaneously rick roll'd? can we apply for a world record?
    • kcdstudios, on 04/08/2008, -0/+10Olympics this summer of course
    • daguito81, on 04/08/2008, -0/+2i don't know.. with the ammount of weird records nowadays wouldn't suprise me if you can actually apply for a record of most people rickrolled at the same time
    • lamiaconfitor, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1next edition of the guiness book of world records.
  • WaxenPith, on 04/08/2008, -5/+90How anti-climactic.
    • stonklit, on 04/08/2008, -18/+1Do you even know what anti-climactic means?

      If so, you'll realize it really doesn't apply in this situation whatsoever. What, did you expect the whole stadium to erupt in a riot or something? It's a song played a sports event. It is what it is. No more, no less.
      • KZeni, on 04/08/2008, -2/+10and therefore being anti-climactic.
      • itsradBrad, on 04/09/2008, -1/+1Funny how you disproved your own point there.

        If your going to say something stupid at least have the common decency to stop typing before you contradict yourself.
    • dood, on 04/08/2008, -3/+61Such is the sport of baseball.
    • Slagtits, on 04/08/2008, -0/+2Yeah, thats what the wife said.
    • itsradBrad, on 04/09/2008, -0/+4I now despise most Mets fans.
  • BeeArePro, on 04/08/2008, -19/+12This was a triumph...
    • spamcrusher, on 04/08/2008, -2/+34I''m making a note here... oh, ***** it.
      • macbookpromat, on 04/08/2008, -0/+4Finally...
      • Scira, on 04/08/2008, -0/+7But how will i know how the rest of it goes!??
      • bilangew, on 04/09/2008, -0/+3C-C-C-combo breaker!

        (Yeah, it ***** me off when I hear that, too. And how many of these people actually PLAYED Killer Instinct anyways? I'm curious...)
  • SmellyFingers, on 04/08/2008, -11/+2I'm afraid I'm going to have to press charges. Rick Rolling is racist against my people.
    • theaceoffire, on 04/08/2008, -0/+3He deeply apologizes to Fingers of all smells, from good to worse.
  • PeTeRZz, on 04/08/2008, -11/+6That was kind of weak...
  • Bviper, on 04/08/2008, -2/+24Imagine the poor vote counters...
    • Wootstapler, on 04/08/2008, -1/+7They probably said ***** it
    • paintpro, on 04/08/2008, -1/+24I'm really proud of them. You know they put that "other" button in there for ***** and giggles while picking out the perfect songs to include in the list. They could have easily said, "***** you internet. No ***** way."
      • slaizer, on 04/09/2008, -0/+5I've always wondered that saying. Why would you want giggles and *****? I don't get it.
        • flyingmeteor, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1Thats because it's actually "Kicks and giggles". For people who get a kick out it, not a... well, you get it.
  • Malakii, on 04/08/2008, -9/+63This was a triumph.
    • Mard, on 04/08/2008, -13/+5I'm making a note here, 'huge success.'
    • 965473, on 04/08/2008, -0/+1posted already
      • GliTCH82, on 04/08/2008, -1/+3Yeah but this one got dugg so ***** YOU. Portal fans FTMFW
    • tikidrummer928, on 04/08/2008, -2/+1I can see it now. "do that many people still like that damn song"
  • nytejade, on 04/08/2008, -17/+2Let's see...

    Wasn't funny the first time, isn't funny the 5 billionth.
  • ArcaneGambit, on 04/08/2008, -2/+53LOL... I was at this game today, When i heard this i laughed my ass off
  • dhVyse, on 04/08/2008, -1/+4OMG! AMAZING!
  • MoeWasHere, on 04/08/2008, -34/+8NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
    HELL ***** NO!!!!
    There is no way in hell im going to pay money to get RICKROLLED every damn time i go to a METS game!!!
    ***** YOU FARK and (im sorry) ***** YOU TOO DIGG!!
    I can't let this happen! - this is CRAZY! THIS IS MADDNESS!!
    • Prombar, on 04/08/2008, -1/+18This is RICKY
    • chris1337, on 04/08/2008, -4/+22THIS IS SPARRRRTAAAA!!!!!!
    • Clark3934, on 04/08/2008, -1/+3You must really dislike the song.
    • stonklit, on 04/08/2008, -4/+1Fark? Actually 4chan started it.
    • MoeWasHere, on 04/08/2008, -1/+4I just dislike my team getting RickRoll'ed every single home game! That just CAN'T be good for morale.
    • Maddoktor2, on 04/08/2008, -0/+2Dude - take the blue pill.
    • CurlyMike139125, on 04/08/2008, -0/+2You misspelled "madness".
    • crstern, on 04/08/2008, -0/+3it's what you get for being a ***** mets fan. Let's Go Yankees!
  • busybenj, on 04/08/2008, -7/+3I see my future....there's dozens of grey boxes above me...
  • Homerr, on 04/08/2008, -7/+208No Rick on Jumbotron = no RickRoll
    • iamcanman, on 04/08/2008, -1/+7Exactly.
      EPIC ... kinda sorta win.
      First to get Rick on a Jumbotron takes the real EPIC WIN prize.
      • joshuagor44, on 04/08/2008, -3/+0Are you guys on a first-name basis with Rick Astley or something?
        • geoffd6, on 04/08/2008, -3/+2no just that people dont seem to understand rick-rolling. at first it was a little annoying but now as soon as the song is played everyone is like "oh rick-rolled" but no, the idea was to have the video playing to fool people on youtube, now its just out of control and its not even funny
          • warplayer, on 04/09/2008, -0/+8I'm sorry, but THOUSANDS of people writing in the Rick Astley song, when the mets orginization was expecting one of the 10 choices to win, and then them actually playing it at Shea's Stadium IS a rick-roll. It is also one of the best rick-rolls ever. I don't care that they didn't play the video, they still weren't expecting it.
          • mikesbaker, on 04/09/2008, -1/+1so ture
        • lamiaconfitor, on 04/09/2008, -0/+1No, the entire world is!
      • jaydoj, on 04/09/2008, -0/+2So I'm standing In line at a club, and who should walk up, but Mr. Rick Astley, and me and my brother were like YO RICK...and he tipped his hat, like this.
    • SGTS3XY, on 04/08/2008, -0/+2Agreed.
    • asurroca, on 04/09/2008, -1/+1It was a failwin
  • imitationflavor, on 04/08/2008, -7/+3Didn't sound like anybody knew what the heck was going on. They did cheer once the players themselves came out. I guess it really loses the effect when its "supposed" to happen.
  • Wootstapler, on 04/08/2008, -2/+2Good job team!
  • jankind, on 04/08/2008, -6/+21I'm so glad the Phillies were a part of this.
    • SuperJimmyJimbo, on 04/08/2008, -2/+10Philly...represent!
    • molloym3, on 04/08/2008, -1/+7Go Phils!
    • rdoger6424, on 04/09/2008, -1/+4215!

  • thallium205, on 04/08/2008, -5/+11Digg Victory!
    • D14BL0, on 04/08/2008, -7/+2I don't think Digg has anything to do with it.
      • blinktude, on 04/08/2008, -0/+2NOOB!
      • daguito81, on 04/08/2008, -0/+6it's not called digg effect for nothing you know?
        • geoffd6, on 04/08/2008, -1/+1ummm yea digg spread knowledge of this...it never had anything to do it otherwise i think thats the whole point of what he is saying
        • elhaf, on 04/08/2008, -0/+2Your both *****. This was up on dig as a write-in option. It wasn't even on the list that the mets had posted on their site, then Digg comes along and says let's rick-roll them! Write in Astley FTW! and they did. So yeah, other than that Digg had nothing to do with it.
        • D14BL0, on 04/09/2008, -1/+2I'm not talking about the Digg effect, you tard. I'm talking about the supposed rickroll.
    • Remmy, on 04/08/2008, -0/+7It started on 4chan.
      • GliTCH82, on 04/09/2008, -1/+4But a lot of 4channers are also Diggers so it's a victory for both. And Fark.com can suck my balls.
  • DewCrew88, on 04/08/2008, -6/+24Their whole season is going to be full of hurt and let down that even Rick cant help with.
    • solesoul, on 04/08/2008, -1/+12Rick can help with all hurt and let downs. Did you not hear him repeating "never"? Rick does NOT ***** around when he says the word never.
    • paintpro, on 04/08/2008, -3/+1That was last season.
    • bingobongony, on 04/09/2008, -1/+2Yeah...it is always good to judge a 162 game season based on the first 6. Hell, look at hte Rangers...not just 6 games in, but close to 2/3 of the way into the season they didn't look like they were going to make the playoffs at all, let alone get 5th seed.
  • acroyear2, on 04/08/2008, -13/+5Doesn't it only count as a Rick'roll when you catch a person by surprise? They were just playing the song at a damn baseball game. It's not like they were playing it during the star spangled banner.
    • HaloZero, on 04/08/2008, -0/+7They were expecting one of the two song choices but there was a write-in choice.
    • 965473, on 04/08/2008, -0/+6...Idea...
      Olympics 2008
      Oh Say Can You See Im Never Gonna Give You Up
      • freedomwv, on 04/14/2008, -0/+1That would be great. I do not know if the people of China would get the joke or not.
  • havokzero, on 04/08/2008, -22/+8Rick Astley was interviewed a few days ago on VH1:
