On Oct. 27, Twitter announced it would be shutting down their video-sharing service, Vine. In memoriam to the social media giant, here are some memorable vines to look back on. Warning: some of these contain strong language.
Eyebrows on Fleek
Believe it or not, “on fleek” actually originated from this vine all they way back in 2014. Shoutout to Peaches.
What are those
While it may be overplayed and killed now, this joke blew up with over 30 million views, spawning countless parodies.
Do it for the vine
What would Vine be like if this catchy beat never took off?
YAASS Cat
YAASSSSS.
Party Llama
If you ever need something to hype you up, look no further than Party Llama.
Who is she
Who will forget the day when this lovable, awkward girl stole our hearts?
Why you always lyin
What lie could have possibly hurt this man so much to create this modern-day masterpiece?
LeBron James
The greatest player deserves the greatest fan.
Jeb Bush
Remember when this guy was supposed to be our next president?
Potato
This 2014 Frank Ocean cover will forever live on in our hearts.
Ryan Gosling won’t eat his cereal
In 2013, Viner Ryan McHenry bewildered us in his six part series of Ryan Gosling not eating his cereal. Now that Vine is shut down, will we ever know if Mr. Gosling ate his cereal?
Iggy
Here’s Iggy Azalea freestyling and doing her impression of Donnie from The Wild Thornberrys.
Pokémon
Childhood memories and angry swearing — what more could you want?
Juice
There’s nothing like a practical joke that goes horribly right.
Travis
I can only hope to one day be as fabulous as this owl.
I could sit here showing you hundreds of vines, but unfortunately, just like Vine itself, our time is limited. If you are looking to reflect more on this historic Internet event, join the #RIPvine trend on Twitter.
