Rick-rolling is a viral internet meme that revolves around the sudden appearance of the music video for the 1987 Rick Astley song “Never Gonna Give You Up”. Another way to rick-roll people is to include the song’s lyrics unexpectedly in videos and pictures. The meme originally went viral in 2008, and people have heavily used it ever since.

“Hey Pewds, it’s Dr. Phil. I didn’t know how to reach out to you. So my team and I figured out this was the best way. I know we’re kinda strangers, but I would love to host Meme Review again. I know it goes against the rules we know, but I’m willing to make a full commitment to it,” said Dr. Phil.
The American TV personality further added, “You wouldn’t get this offer from any other guy. I hope you’re feeling the same way, so you can understand, ‘I’m never gonna give this up.'”
