What is getting rick rolled

I was looking up animes to watch online. Episode didn't even come out, supposedly next week. Guess what I get? I get a Rick Roll! Rick Rolling is commonly thought of as linking a friend, who thinks they are getting something desirable, to a video of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up", though this is not always the case.

A Rick Roll may be amplified by having the window fly around your screen and, upon closure, release a stream of popups usually displaying the lyrics that will open as you close the previous, as seen at raygoldmodels. These can be humorous to witness over the shoulder, as well as to have an email response to. Even Apple has got in on the act, displaying Astley's words around the face of an Apple Watch on one of its help pages. Easy, simply embed a link over text in your blog, or in an email, or in a tweet that says its about one thing, but is actually another.
