Kennedy]] who's most famous for being in [[Resident Evil 4]] become a playable character in [[Killer 7]] as an example) to lure unsuspecting people to the Rick Astley video "Never Gonna Give [[You]] Up". People have not been rickrolling as much lately, but you should still stay on guard.

Overview[edit]

Rick Astley himself dancing to the Rick Roll.

A Rick Roll is a trap involving an amazing, yet bullshitty lie (like, lets say, having Leon S. Kennedy who's most famous for being in Resident Evil 4 become a playable character in Killer 7 as an example) to lure unsuspecting people to the Rick Astley video "Never Gonna Give You Up". Rick Rolling fell out of style around 2010 and is not seen very often anymore. If you are daring, you can watch it below.
