[jwplayer pNjHVqy4] While plenty of memes have cropped up on the internet over the years, making a lasting impression on internet culture, none have had quite the staying power like the Rick Roll. For those that have somehow managed to avoid this phenomenon, a Rick Roll refers to when someone uses a disguised hyperlink to bait you into clicking it, only to have Rick Astley\u2019s upbeat song \u2018Never Gonna Give You Up\u2019 waiting at the other end of the link. The prank was popularized in 2007, but is still used frequently to this day, and proves to be either hilarious or very annoying, depending on which end of the Rick Roll you\u2019re on. Now, YouTuber Revideo has sparked new life into the meme by remastering the original video in full 4k and 60 FPS, making it look more high quality than ever before. https:\/\/youtu.be\/2ocykBzWDiM They explained in the description that it\u2019s a \u201cremastered music video with Topaz Video Enhance AI and RIFE (Flowframes)\u201d and the results were impressive. Compared to the original, the remastered version runs a lot smoother, making Astley\u2019s face a lot clearer and the dancing a lot more snappy. The reactions to the new version were certainly mixed, with some people loving the new and improved music video. \u201cThe future is now,\u201d one person wrote, another saying \u201cthis is beautiful.\u201d One user even said, \u201cThis makes me feel like Rick Astley is really here, Rick Rolling me in person.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/SirPauer\/status\/1362335683302608897 However, some Twitter users felt strangely disturbed by the video. \u201cSomebody remastered the Rick Astley video in 60 FPS 4k and I am deeply, deeply upset,\u201d someone wrote, another saying \u201cthis is terrifying!
