Explain xkcd: It's 'cause you're dumb.

Removed from the explanation:

>> It should be noted that in the original prank, the victims voluntarily click on the link instead of having the video forced upon them. Therefore, the scene depicted in the comic is (arguably) no Rickrolling in the classical sense. Also, since Rick Astley is not the originator of the prank, this is no pay-back scenario.

Rick voluntarily chose to watch CNN, but was interrupted by an unexpected appearance of "never gonna give you up". Sounds a lot like rickrolling to me.

Also, I'm sure the 4chan trolls get trolled by other 4chan trolls all the time. And nobody knows who they are. Rick Astley is the ideal comic target for payback; what, you think he doesn't deserve it? Exactly. 108.162.219.223 18:59, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Would anyone consider it more payback if Astley was rolled by a cover of his song? 108.162.216.55 11:55, 19 July 2014 (UTC) 108.162.216.55 11:56, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

I am looking at the comic on my iPhone and there is a different title text. It's simply a link leading to the Rick Roll'd video. CaptainJack (talk) 20:34, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
