[QUOTE=Anastasaeon] I can think of a couple of people in my life who would _appreciate_ a Rickroll. One would crack the hell up, but my husband, on the other hand… well, he’s sort of a big Rick Astley fan. He’d be _tickled_ to know there’s any such thing as a Rickroll. It would totally rock his world. Then he’d wonder why more people haven’t Rickrolled him. Then he’d accuse me of withholding the Rick goodness. Then I’d have to Rickroll him twice a day to show I care. Sigh. I have to listen to Michael McDonald covering motown hits in the car, too. [/QUOTE] Heck, _I’d_ appreciate a Rickroll, 'cause I was a big Rick Astley fan. But I – and all my friends – are too old and busy keeping the kids off our lawns to click on random youtube links, alas. Michael McDonald doing motown, though, that’s just _wrong_. ---

A friend once told me that wireless companies are extremely proud of their service and often encourage employees to use their cellphones as ‘business phones’. Could you imagine how much fun a disgruntled ex-employee could have with a Rickroll link and a company directory…? 😃 _Imagining the look on Catherine Zeta Jones’ face as she gets Rickrolled_ ---

Is there any other place out there that allows you to put any earworm into someone’s brain? ---

I first learned about this on here months ago, and am now passing it along to my friends. It’s almost a shame it seems to be annonymous though, I’d love to see them react. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/rickroll-your-friends-phones/442854.md?page=2)
