For the best videos in the history of YouTube. All sh.itjust.works server rules apply here. This is an archival community so moderation will be strict to keep the quality of posts at a consistently high level.
Some Rules
- No reposts unless it's been over 12 months and the original post wasn't highly upvoted.
- Tag NSFW
- Videos must be from before 2018. If they have been deleted and reuploaded, please make a note of that.
- Videos need not be originally from YouTube. If they were uploaded to some other platform (atomfilms, ebaumsworld, newgrounds) but fit the definition of an internet classic, that's fine. But you must post a link to a YouTube reupload, not to another website.

Is it called rickrolling because it's by Rick Astley?
It started on 4chan cause they used to duckroll, and that eventually turned into other "rolls." Eventually one form, rickrolling became popular outside of 4chan.
