This is also what I thought of. Mostly because it was the only thing I 100% for sure remembered to originate from Vine. 🀣

[–] palordrolap@fedia.io 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

There are so many. Perhaps because I occasionally go back and watch a compilation or two for the nostalgia - even though I missed the whole phenomenon when they were new - and weep not only for what was lost, but also for how the world was back then.

Here's just a handful:

Look at all those chickens.

Oh my God, they were roommates.

Five feet apart because they're not gay.

Fre Shavocado

Stahp! I nearly dropped my croissant!

Road work ahead? Boy, I sure hope it does!

The Kermit singing one. And the fact there's an extended cut which is probably the origin not the Vine. Also the fact there at least two more Kermit clips from the same car that are super hard to find.

There's only one thing worse than a r-pist... A child!

Someone already mentioned T-T-T-T-Target

Shalissa is not Beyonce. (And the fact there's at least one return of Shalissa in the super-rare Vines.)

There's a bunch of others, but I think I might be dredging them up now because I'm thinking about them rather than ones that come to me randomly.

I definitely quote "look at all those chickens" whenever there's a large flock of any birds around

"a child" said in the style of that video is heard 10x a week in my workplace. as well as:

"ah fuck, I can't believe you've done this"

[–] lechatron@lemmy.today 14 points 1 month ago

My wife and I constantly say "A Child!" any time we see a kid do something stupid/annoying.

[–] QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Storytime! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9Ge8z-nAEg

Not a particular video, but the storytime videos by Thomas Sanders.

Those are so good!

[–] naticus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Absolutely wasn't thinking of those but yes, completely. I don't know why I blanked that out but I watched more of his videos than any other on Vine. WTF.

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

All of them?

Vine seriously was an art form. Get your idea across in 6 seconds, cut all the bs. Perfection.

One I haven't seen mentioned yet is the kid doing a death drop in the yard and the xfiles theme plays with illuminati symbols flying up.

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Something about Vine was so good. But I hate Tik Tok. Can't put my finger on it

[–] mlg@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

~~you got old~~

It's uh... the algorithm... probably

[–] Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Maybe it was the algorithm, but it seemed to me that Vine was more about jokes and memes, where Musicly/TikTok was focused on lip sync and dancing videos.

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Tik tok always felt like the algorithm was breathing down your neck. Vine was way more organic, and felt like minimal corporate influence.

If I remember correctly, vine creators didn't get paid and there was very little sorting beyond new and popular

Yeah, some tried to pack too much in there and talked SO fast it was impossible to keep up with.

Sha vack a doo

[–] theherk@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Can’t get through the grocery without thinking this. Just yesterday I said it to my brother. He looked askance. I guess he wasn’t familiar.

This is constantly referenced on major platform to this day and is not considered outdated.

Truly a timeless meme. 10/10, no notes.

[–] Tedesche@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Calling 911 on a microwave! Yes! "Listen, children, let me show you the great leaders of humor from my time"

Man Shellfish has lived rent free in my mind for over a decade

[–] marighost@piefed.social 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Back at it again at Krispy Kreme!

SMACK

And with a perfect cut at the end to keep us looping the video to figure out how bad it went for him

Back at it again reminded me of this one, https://youtube.com/shorts/zAECoPpTJks

All of Nicholas Megalis vines.

He perfected the art of loopable vines, which can make them harder to appreciate nowadays but he’ll always be my favorite.
