"Rickrolling" - do you think it is something people should know what it is? (Do you know what it is?)

I was having an online conversation with a friend who told me about the wedding of another friend of his.
At one point he said: "Oh yes - and the groom Rick-rolled everyone at the end of the service". I was like: "???" He was surprised that I didn't know what it was and gave me the link to the "Rickrolling" wiki page. I read it and was like: "wtf"??? It still didn't make much sense to me... Now I wonder if it's a bit of general internet knowledge everybody should be aware of or if it's more like something cultural (i.e.: Rickrolling as a part of the Angloamerican Internet world)... Could someone please give me some input on "Rickrolling"? |

at 5:57 PM, Sunday June 5, 2011 EDT Well, as far as I understand it... you could do that "thing" with any other music video... why does it have to be that one?

at 6:10 PM, Sunday June 5, 2011 EDT Yeah, I've seen it.
I mean: why THIS video and THIS artist? Why couldn't it be Randy Travis and Randyrolling?? What's the point of using Rick? |

at 6:28 PM, Sunday June 5, 2011 EDT why is the internet obsessed with cats? these types of questions are pointless. it's just an internet meme. blame 4chan. someone did it, someone else thought it was funny, and did the same thing. it caught on.
