Duckroll
The original Rickroll.
- Date Discovered: 03/2007
- Discovered On: 4chan
Summary
Duckrolling is/was an original phenomenon on imageboards that tricked unsuspecting lurkers into viewing a ridiculous picture of a duck on wheels. The intent is to anger people using deception. There's really not much more to this meme than that. As this meme does not involve an obnoxious song or video and can only really be done on imageboards (and not IRL), its popularity never came close to that of its unoriginal successor, Rickroll.
To duckroll, simply do the following:
- Create a thread, using this as the opening image
- Go to another thread (or many other threads for full effect)
- Link to your thread (i.e. >>########) and act as if you're posting some kind of intriguing response to someone else in the thread, prompting other channers to click your link.
Note: It is, of course, also possible to do this outside of the chans, so long as you know how to create redirects or disguised links. This usually requires knowledge of tinyurl or other similar URL redirectors.
