Reggie Watts’s ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ Cover Will Have You Rickrolling All Over Again

That headline is not a threat. I repeat: NOT a threat. Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” has been banished to the nether regions of the Internet, after Rickrolling became one of the world’s most hated memes in the mid-2000s. But we’ve all had some time to cope, though, and as part of YouTube Comedy Week, Reggie Watts has graced us with a cover of the 1987 classic. It’s a perfect fit: Astley sounds like he should be a big black man with a giant afro.
