You know when you wanna watch a WoW video or Movie trailer and some dick puts up a video that supposedly has what your looking for and when your in it the audio turned down and the writing hard to see so u turn it up and make it fullscreen then BAM Scary Ghost spider etc

but my question after being Rick Rolled or Screamed out is always why the hell would you put that on the internet and whats the purpose of it?

Same goes with the Rick Roll it was funny at first but now it just frustrating and annoying.

So can anyone elaborate for me.

Also share your stories of screamers and Rick Rolled its interesting

People love being dicks. They get giggles out of being hated. I don't know why that is.

I've been rickrolled quite a few times. Now I always open a link in a tab so I can close it the second the first frame of Rick Asterly appears.

No really funny rickrolled stories, they just kept happening to me so I adapted.

I've been RickRolled, Screamed, Gaga'd and I can only think of one reason people do this.

They can imagine the person of the other side of the screen going

FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUU!

I kind of find it hilarious myself when I think about it later on in the day.

I literally cry after falling victim to a screamer. They really really frighten me.

So yeah, I hate it. But I guess looking back it is sort of funny.

Why does 4chan post pictures of child autopsies on message boards?

Why is there such a thing as April fools?

For the lulz, it's pretty much the only reason that kind of thing is done.

Fixed that for you. But yeah, people get laughs out of being annoying. I know I do.

I usually can tell when a video is a rick roll before watching. If I'm looking for game footage (90% chance of this), if I don't see any videos from official gaming sites then I know that the videos are fake.

Same purpose as trolling. Angry responses by annoyed people.

"Normal person + Anonymity = Fuckwad", as a very observant man once said.

Pretty much. I actually enjoy Rick Astley, so Rickrolling doesn't bother me so much. I just think it's stupid. I just feel like- "And...?"

That's the point of it. No one intended for you to enjoy the humor of it, it's supposed to be the troll laughing AT the trolled, not WITH them. When you take it in good fun and it doesn't bother you, it has failed its purpose. When it confuses, annoys, frustrates or angers you is when trolling is really going down.

As for why they want to do that, I shouldn't really have to explain how humans take pleasure and laugh at the suffering of others. This has been an understood part of human psychology for many years.

I find them annoying but I dislike them more when they are found offline like those 2 times they happen in Dead Rising 2. Pop-up scares are for people like me who can't properly scare other people.

I really hate it when they put it in the comments. It really scar-

ABLOOGY WOOGY WOO!!!!

But seriously though, it gets annoying after more than 5 times and when you can't find the video your looking for.
