Never Gonna Give You Up was released by Rick Astley in 1987, and it became an internet bait-and-switch joke in the late 2000s when misleading links promised one thing and delivered the song instead. The prank spread through forums, video sites and social media, becoming one of the most recognisable memes online. Extended versions appeared as creators wanted a version that lasted beyond a quick gag, making it useful for longer videos, streams and live reactions where the joke needs time to build.

The extended Rickroll plays Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up for about a minute, giving pranksters a longer bait-and-switch clip for jokes and edits.
The extended Rickroll is a longer version of the classic internet prank, playing Rick Astley's 1987 hit Never Gonna Give You Up in full swing rather than cutting off after a few seconds. The familiar synth intro, steady drum beat and Astley's smooth vocals build exactly as listeners expect, which makes the joke land harder because there is no quick escape. Instead of a brief surprise, the song keeps going, turning an ordinary link, video or presentation into a drawn-out gag that audiences recognise instantly and often sing along with before they realise they have been caught again.
