First we had Rickrolling.
Then we had reverse Rickrolling, where you trick people into thinking they’re about to be Rickrolled, but it’s really something else.
Then we had post-reverse Rickrolling, where you set up what looks like a reverse Rickroll, and folks are pleasantly surprised to find that no, it’s actually just a Rickroll.
What’s next?
A compilation of further variants from the asks, tags and notes:
The Wrongroll: Tricking someone into watching the video component of “Never Gonna Give You Up”, accompanied by different and wildly inappropriate audio (e.g., Rick Astley performs “Down With the Sickness”).
The Teamroll: Making a post that looks like it’s going to be a Rickroll, but isn’t, then having an accomplice post a comment that contains the actual Rickroll.
The Bait-and-Switchroll: Posting a different obnoxious meme (e.g., “JOHN CENA”), which is interrupted by or segues into a conventional Rickroll (e.g., you have now been Rickrolled by John Cena).
The Interrupted Rickroll: The reverse of the preceding entry; it starts out as a Rickroll, which is interrupted by or segues into a different obnoxious meme.
The Counter-Post-Reverse Rickroll: Tricking someone into thinking you’re trying to trick them into believing they’re about to be Rickrolled, then reverse Rickrolling them anyway. (Extended variants of this type are omitted for brevity.)
