TV Meteorologist Rick Rolled By The Original Rick Roller

Canadian meteorologist Brandon Gonez, left, seemed delighted to be Rick
Rolled on air. It helped that the actual Rick Astley came on set 
A "Rick Roll" is one of the oldest, and many would say most obnoxious internet memes.

For the uninitiated, getting Rick Rolled is when somebody sends you a link saying you MUST watch it because it's so incredible.

Then you open the link and instead of something you'd really go wow about, you get the music video of Rick Astley performing his 1987 hit "Never Gonna Give You Up."

So it was recently on a recent morning that meteorologist Brandon Gonez was going over the rather inclement weather that was plaguing Ontario and Quebec when the familiar strains of "Never Gonna Give You Up starting playing.

Even better: The actual, real live Rick Astley came on to the set to do a meteorological in person Rick Roll

So much for the lousy Canadian weather.  Gonez really did seem to appreciate the Rick Roll

Here's the clip:
