I was just thinking of how to Rick Roll people, and I thought of this.

You could also make some money doing this too haha.

You could tell people they were in a sweepstakes and won, or something along those lines, and to claim their prize they call a 866 number.

The number can have a recording that says "thanks for calling the winners hotline, congratulations, please wait while your call is connected" then it will play Never Gonna Give You Up and every 45 seconds it could say "thanks for your patience" and continue with the song.

I bet people will stay on there for like 40 minutes and you could be billing them by the minute LOL.

The 45 second messages could get more annoying as it goes on. It could be like "thanks for your continued patience, we appreciate your patience", then "10 winners just claimed $4500 each in the last 10 minutes, so thanks for holding, please continue to hold" then "Sorry for the long wait, please never give us up, we will never give you up" then "Are you still here? Sorry we forgot about you, it's been a really busy day giving away so much money" to eventually be a recording of someone answering the phone saying "Hello, thanks for waiting, name please...(beat...)please hold..." then eventually "sorry, your call has been dropped due to network congestion, please visit our website to claim your prize" and then it doesn't give a website, or gives internetisseriousbusiness.com

LOL who wants to do this with me?
 


That is a lot of effort just to rick roll someone. Good idea, but not likely to ever be used.
 
I setup myrickroller.com to let people make their own rick rolls. Did it this weekend for fun, getting decent traffic for no promotion, other than a few forum posts... people outside of WF have no sense of humor though, ban hammer for a lil' ol rick roll.

Something simple would be a better way to go imo... it's a fad, and it's already reached it's pinnacle, we're on the backside of it now.
 
Hehe
quite smart eh?
Making someone hold the phone for 40 minutes isn't too kind..
You'll get cursed by so many people you don't even know!
