Brighten the daily lives of countless strangers by sticking this Rick Roll QR code decal onto any flat surface! The moment this sticker is scanned, it takes you to Rick Astley’s classic Never Gonna Give You Up music video. It’s waterproof and UV fade-resistant, so as long as nobody rips it off with their hands, it will troll people for years.
What is Rickrolling? Why would someone want to buy such QR code sticker? Rickrolling is a bait-and-switch prank that originated from 4chan: it involves posting a hyperlink that is supposedly relevant to the topic at hand in an online discussion, but re-directs the viewer to the music video of “Never Gonna Give You Up” a 1987 dance pop single by singer-songwriter Rick Astley. Since 2007, numerous versions of the music video on YouTube have garnered more than a billion views, largely driven by the widespread practice of Rickrolling and subsequent resurgence in popularity of the song over the following decade.
According to 4chan founder m00t, the Rickrolling phenomenon began in May 2007 when someone posted a link to Rick Astley’s music video disguised as a sneak preview for the then newly released video game Grand Theft Auto IV. Due to the high buildup of anticipation for the game at that time, many GTA fans on 4chan fell victim to the bait-and-switch prank and the joke became quite popular. If you wish to help keeping this trend alive and piss off countless people, you can get the Rick Roll QR code sticker on Amazon or Etsy.
The links at the end should be Rick Rolls!
Great! A promo for more long-lasting graffiti!
This was even better when videos opened automatically on YT
This is culturally significant art. Not graffiti.
Like “kilroy was here” written by American soldiers across Europe during WWII.
And hamster dance.
This is ridiculously stupid. Buy paper fir stickers. Print QR codes. Nooooo! Buy the printed QR codes on Amazon (because you are too stupid to print it by yourself)
AMAZING!
Just wanted to ask Ryszard Kalewski: hey dumbass, do you think everyone owns a printer? Or is your head so far up your own ass that you think everyone can spend however much money and time getting it printed out at a Staples? Some of us actually have jobs.
