Telling someone to see a video of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" when you tell them it is something they will be interested in, such as an amazing car race, a violent train crash, or a music video with me in it. Their reaction will most likely be confused or angered. Nontheless, it is hilarious, i encourage you to rickroll someone this moment.
