How To Get Out of a Rick Roll

So many sad bloggers. Makes me want to cry. Or maybe laugh harder?

That is NOT a rickroll. Real men do youtube rickrolls. Yours was just lame.

thats irritating man :evil:

we are fooled again. why 2 fool posts :mrgreen:

How do we know that video isn't a Rick Roll?

I was wondering what all the fuss was about.

I use opera and there is no moving pop ups of rick roll, it's just another page which can be closed without an issue.

Problem solved, use opera. :)

I just hit [ENTER] then [BACKSPACE] [b]immediately[/b] afterwards.

That gets you out of it with all your tabs intact!

Question - How do you know when your April Fools Joke has backfired?

Answer - When you have to make a new post explaining how to fix the problem caused by the previous post.

Damn it! I clicked on that link, ugh.

Why would you want to get OUT of a Rick Roll? The video is freakn awesome!!! :razz:

Hey John, I see that you have a brand new layout, this one is just as good as the previous one.

If you get a chance, I'd love it if you stopped by my blog:
http://hedgeagainstspeculation.com I would be honored if you left a comment.

Best of luck to you.

Hey John , what camera are you using for your videos??

It was frustrating at first, but the second time, it seems cool and fun... dude, you can't do anything, unless kill your browser session :evil: :evil:

Now I know what Rick Rolled means. :razz:

man, I have just got to get a Mac. Wanna help me?

:wink:

Vista tip for John:

Control + Alt + Delete

I think I posted this tutorial (as text) in the comments of the previous post. Anyways, the trouble with your Mac method, as I understand it, is that it will close the browser, rather than just the tab that the Rick Astley video is in, no?

Yes, buy a mac, just so you don't get rick rolled :D Another tip: throw your PC out the window. Much faster than John shows in his video!!

It's still really annoying.

I think the moral of this story is to just stay away from certain sites on April 1st. At least I learned how to get out of a Rick Roll, which I'm sure will come in handy in the future (unfortunately :shock: )!

Much easier to do: Command + Q on the Mac to exit.

When this video popped up I just waited for it to finish, I was laughing to hard to stop it.

Hey John, is that a picture of your next car on the desktop of the MAC?

I think the funniest thing about this are the people that got pissed after going to the fake site because of the rick roll.

It goes to show how many people were actually hoping that they could get inside tips just like that *snaps a finger* without having to do that much work. Of course they're not going to admit this, but it's painfully obvious.

Not their fault that you fell for it. Hook, line & sinker. Suck it up.

Hopefully this post will help you gain back some of that readership that you apparently lost since your last post...

Of course, rather than spend several thousand dollars on a Mac, you can just use a real (and free) browser (*cough* Opera *cough*) and never have these problems. :D

john i doubt your mac can handle this link though : http://pimpmycrapblog.blogspot.com/

I just hold down the enter key and its done!

I would just pull an "Elvis Presley".

Translation: Elvis Presley would shoot his Television sets if either Robert Goulet or Mel Torme appeared on the screen. :razz:

At least getting Rick Rolled isn't a regular occurance because that could get expensive. :lol:

Lol, but u can still do the same thing on windows. ctrl-alt-delete.

But still, another reason to buy a mac.

for a second there i thought that this video was gonna be a rick roll joke by itself ... that would have been as cool as john cola :P , any way a better solution here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU

you seem to be enjoying your mac john...
looks like you have been converted, have you?

Even better - do the Ctrl-W or Apple-Tab, and you can start the "closing" process even faster than waiting for the window to stop moving. Once it stops, use the enter key technique to rip through all the javascript pop-up windows with the prompts.

There is an easier way, this firefox plugin will make sure you will never get rickrolled again!
