Did you just get Rickrolled thinking that was a real Imgur link?Well,today I'll show you how to Rickroll someone on Reddit in 3 easy steps!

1.Make a fake imgur link that looks like this: i.imgur.com/a55h0l3.png

It should look something like that,but you can replace the a55h0l3 part with any 7 character combination of letters and numbers.Don't make it spell a word like I did,or it will be obvious.

2.Link it with "Never Gonna Give You Up".This is Rick Astley's masterpiece.Link it in Reddit Markdown format like this:

1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

All you have to do is remove the lol between the bracket and the parentheses and you're set to Rickroll!

Also,you can shorten a url using bit.ly or something and make it lead to another shortened url that leads to the Rick Astley's masterpiece.This makes sure that the victim can't see what lies ahead of that url.Or,you can put a website name that a victim will click on to see what your post is talking about,but that leads to a shortened url that once again leads to Rick Astley's masterpiece.

I needed this information two weeks ago when I just sent someone the link to the video and they knew what was coming.

nah, on mobile you're asked if you want to proceed to the extern site(youtube) and in browsers you can see the link destination in the bottom left corner.

Might work on internet newbies though

While I don't think this is completely useless, this isn't a talent

This also works the other way around. Pretend you're going to link a relevant video but then it's just Peyton Manning
