Listen977 Archives if theRick get rickrolled, people are going to love it. Reddit has proof.
According to the tech platform's Year in Review report, its most upvoted post of the year was a post from Rick Astley, singer of the now-infamous tune "Never Gonna Give You Up." The post itself is kind of unremarkable, if neat. It's an old photo of Astley riding a bike.
The real reason this post was so popular was because a comment from a clever Redditor with the username theMalleableDuck. They responded to the post with a brilliant rickroll — you know, linking to "Never Gonna Give You Up" under false pretenses — designed to rickroll Astley himself.
"I think I might cry!!! It’s actually you," theMalleableDuck wrote. "I met you at a backstage eventwhen I was 12. Seriously a big fan. I’ve seen you in concert five times."
I'm sure you can guess where that link leads. And it worked. Astley responded with the clap emoji and later wrote, "u/theMalleableDuck I salute you!"
The post, overall, received nearly 418,000 upvotes.
