If you’re on the Internet, you probably know what it is to “Rickroll.” Maybe it’s been done to you. (Chin up, it happens to the best of us.)
To prove to the world that this prank never gets old, witness the Oregon state legislature Rickroll themselves…
We came across this unusual hilarity by way of Neatorama, which hypothesizes about the strange origins of this video:
1. A video editor carefully sifted through hours of floor speeches and spliced together the lyrics to Rick Astley’s song.
2. The clerks working for the legislators are pulling a huge, well-orchestrated prank.
3. The legislators are reading letters from constituents, who are the true pranksters, into the House record upon request.
4. The legislators themselves are intentionally Rick Rolling their colleagues.
Whatever it was, we’re glad it happened. Happy Friday!
