Rickrolling began as an internet bait and switch prank built around Rick Astley's 1987 hit Never Gonna Give You Up. The joke spread in the mid 2000s when users shared links promising something else, only to redirect people to the song's music video. It became one of the most durable memes online, revived constantly in games, streams, live events and social media posts. This boom version adds a startling impact to the setup, making the familiar reveal land harder while keeping the original prank instantly recognisable to anyone who has spent time online.

A loud boom leads into Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up, the classic rickroll prank sound used to trick friends in memes and videos online.
This clip combines a sudden explosive boom with the instantly recognisable opening of a Rick Roll, turning a simple jump scare into a bait and switch joke. The impact hits first, loud and abrupt, then the familiar pop melody makes it clear you have been tricked rather than scared. That contrast is why it works so well in short videos. Viewers expect something dramatic or frightening, but instead get a cheerful, nostalgic song they have heard countless times online. It feels playful instead of mean, and the timing makes the reveal funnier every time it catches someone off guard.
