There are very few memes as timeless as the "Rickroll." The meme, which involves Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up," is a classic prank. And today, the internet became shocked after seeing their beloved 1987 music video remastered in crisp and clean 4k. The remaster comes courtesy of Revideo, a YouTube account that remasters videos with AI for kicks. This is without a doubt their most viral effort. On Twitter, user @Ray_sho shared a clip of the spiffed up video, deeming it cursed. Though some viewers were appreciative of the makeover, many responses echoed their revulsion. We'll admit that there's a certain charm that's lost with all the fuzziness eliminated, but anything involving Mr. Astley is a joy in our books. Check out the difference between the videos (and enjoy some of the peanut gallery's responses) below.

Without that low resolution charm, this just makes the video look like a student video project.

I just realized what bugs me about his video. He's singing in an empty bar while the employees are cleaning up, after everyone's left, and the high video quality really highlights how empty the place is. Makes me want to see a version with lowered audio and awkward foot scuffs

My therapist: don't worry, interpolated high-framerate Rick Astley can't hurt you.

This looks too....... clean. The background and having the camera move just feels off. Like the Mandela effect or how uncanny valley of something

Remember back in 2006 when the life expectancy of a meme was like two years https://t.co/eshdtbdvzN
