3 Ways To Rick-Roll W/ Code (LAST ONE IS A BANGER!)

Rick-Rolling is definitely a prank many wish to master, but few have done so. To be honest, I happened to be one of the suckers who used to yearn to become a Rick-Rolling master. But not for long! After extensive research and hard work, I have come up w/ 3 ways to Rick-Roll anybody , all thx, to the PWR OF CODE! :muscle::muscle::muscle:

1. Simple website

As developers, we all know the noobs under us will be COMPLETELY shocked when they see what their all-knowing counterparts have created. And using that insolence, we can back-stab them!

Step 1: Create a website

Simply do that by typing/copying and pasting the following code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Our friendship!❤️❤️❤️</title>
    <style>
        body {
            margin: 0; /* Remove default body margins */
        }
        .header {
            background: yellow;
            font-family: sans-serif;
            width: 100%; /* Make it span the full width */
            padding: 10px;
            font-size:medium;
            text-align: center;
            top: 0; /* Stick it to the top */
            z-index: 100; /* Ensure it's above other elements */
        }
        .pa {
            padding-top: 25px;
            font-family: sans-serif;
            font-size:medium;
            text-align: center  
        }
        .pa1 {
            padding-top: 25px;
            font-family: sans-serif;
            font-size:medium;
            text-align: center  
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>

<div class = header>
    <h1>Our Great Friendship!❤️❤️❤️</h1>
</div>

<div class = pa>
    <p>
        Our friendship has been a winding road of shared laughter, whispered secrets, and 
        unwavering support. We've navigated late-night talks, spontaneous adventures, 
        and the occasional (but always temporary) disagreements. Through it all, a constant thread of 
        understanding and genuine care has kept us close, making it clear that no matter what, we'll always 
        have each other's backs.
    </p>
</div>

<div class = pa1>
    <p>Get ready for a trip down memory lane! Here's a little video showcasing our 
    friendship's journey through the years:</p>
</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
    <video id="myVideo" width="320" height="240" controls autoplay>
          <source id="videoSource" src="PATH_TO_NEVER_GONNA_GIVE_YOU_UP_FILE" type="video/mp4">
          Your browser does not support the video tag.
        </video>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Step 2: Convince your friend/s

Tell your friend/s created your own website and would like to share it w/ them. Once they’re convinced, share the website, and let the prank begin! :laughing::laughing::laughing:

2. Spamming their email

Emails from strangers are just a nuisance people have to constantly deal with. But what would happen if you combined constant email spamming, w/ Rick-Rolling?

Step 1: Write Your Code

Using Python, we can send emails with the following code:

import smtplib
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
from email.mime.base import MIMEBase
from email import encoders

def send_email_with_video():
    # Email sender and recipient
    sender_email = "your_email@example.com"
    receiver_email = "receiver_email@example.com"
    password = "your_password"  # Use an app password for security if possible

    # Create the email message
    message = MIMEMultipart()
    message['From'] = sender_email
    message['To'] = receiver_email
    message['Subject'] = "Subject: Video Attachment"

    # Email body text
    body = "Hi, do watch this, it's fire!!!!!."
    message.attach(MIMEText(body, 'plain'))

    # Attach the video file
    file_path = "path_Never_Gonna_Give_Up_Video.mp4"  # Replace with the path to your video
    file_name = "video.mp4"  # Replace with the name of your video file
    with open(file_path, "rb") as video_file:
        part = MIMEBase('application', 'octet-stream')
        part.set_payload(video_file.read())
        encoders.encode_base64(part)
        part.add_header(
            "Content-Disposition",
            f"attachment; filename={file_name}",
        )
        message.attach(part)

    # Set up the SMTP server and send the email
    try:
        with smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587) as server:  # Replace with your email provider's SMTP server
            server.starttls()
            server.login(sender_email, password)
            server.send_message(message)
            print("Email sent successfully!")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error: {e}")

If you run this, it would only send the email once. To make it repetitive, we have to go on to step 2.

Step 2: Make the code run continuously

By adding the following to the code:

def send_emails_every_10_seconds():
    while True:  # Infinite loop to send emails repeatedly
        send_email_with_video()
        print("Waiting for 10 seconds before sending the next email...")
        time.sleep(10)  # Wait for 10 seconds

# Call the function to start sending emails every 10 seconds g
send_emails_every_10_seconds()

the program will send emails to whatever person you want to terrorize :rofl::rofl::rofl:.

3. Everlasting Rick-Rolling

The two examples above are surely going the prank the heck out of your friends! But know this, they were just an appetizer, a sample, of what this one is. And this, my fellow programmers, will truly make you, a Rick-Rolling Master.

Step 1: Install pygame

For this to work, we’ll need to install a Python package known as pygame. Simply do that by typing the following into your IDE’s terminal:

pip install pygame

Step 2: Write Your Code

Finished with step one, create a Python file. Once you’ve done that, add the following:

import pygame
import time

sound_file = " "  # Replace with the actual path

pygame.mixer.init()

while True:
    try:
        sound = pygame.mixer.Sound(sound_file)
        sound.play()
        # If you want to wait for the sound to finish playing:
        while pygame.mixer.get_busy():
            pygame.time.delay(100)  # Wait a bit
    except pygame.error as e:
        print(f"Error playing sound: {e}")
    time.sleep(10)

pygame.mixer.quit()

Step 3: Create Another Python File

If you send the file above to an experienced programmer, they will take the caution to not run it. To avoid that, create another file, and in it simply add the following:

import file_name_containing_Rick_Rolling_Code

file_name_containing_Rick_Rolling_Code()

Step 3: Send the File to Your Friend

After creating the new file, email it to your friend, stating (or at least along the lines of):

Hey dude, just created a new Python program! To see if it can work with Windows or Linux Commands, be sure to run the file by typing in the terminal:

pythonw file_name.py = if you’re using Windows device
nohup python file_name.py & = if you’re using linux device

Unbeknownst to your friend, the commands (pythonw file_name.py or nohup python file_name.py &) will Rick-Roll them until they restart their device or logout :rofl::rofl::rofl:!

Conclusion

In this post, you’ve explored three ways to Rick-Roll your friends:

  • With a simple website
  • Spamming their email
  • Running infinite code which blasts the song

Hopefully these techniques will work and be free to share any doubts or what happened when you tried these tricks on your friend. GDBL and talk to you soon :heart::heart::heart: :v::v::v:!
