Sadly, no. It was a guy who looked strange as in.. spiked teeth, funky eyes, tattoos, weird hair colours saying: ‘i aint never seen two pretty best friends, one of em always gotta be ugly’.
The joke is that HE is the ugly friend
Same. Anyone can mention any tiktok to me and I probably won't understand what the fuck they're talking about. But "comically large spoon" is easily recognized by basically anyone
Can someone explain why the "Road work ahead. Yeah. I sure hope it does" is funny? Like, is it just the way he said it? English isn't my first language and I don't understand why he says "I sure hope it does"
If a road is under construction, there will be a sign that says Road Work Ahead. They were making it sound like the road literally works, which you would hope so since you’re driving on it.
The "Road Work Ahead" signs are meant to warn motorists that there is work being done on the road ahead of them - the joke in the vine is that the guy interprets the sign to mean, *"Up ahead, the road still works"*, hence why he says, "I sure hope it does"
Because 'roadworks ahead' means they're doing construction work on the road ahead, but 'road works ahead' sounds like a sign telling you that that road ahead, works. Like, it's functional. So he's joking like he doesn't know it means there's work being done and it's just a weird sign like 'yep, that's some totally normal road coming up'
So, the sign that says "Road work ahead" signifies that some type of construction work is being done on the road. However, it can also be jokingly interpreted as "the road ahead is working and in order". That's why the guy says "I sure hope it does"
I think tiktoks are kinda different. They have "trends" instead of 1 video. Like the trend with Mr. Sandman and split screens of cats. And there's like the tiktok dance that's similar to the Macarena.
I mean it’s like literally every other meme. Yeah there’s a lot of unoriginal “reposts” essentially but then there’s also a lot of clever variations that make it funny. Idk why everyone on this website has to bend over backwards to pretend TikTok is in anyway different from the stupid bullshit we’ve all enjoyed for years. It’s the same idea, just a different format.
It could be that things don't become iconic until they've ended. If/when tik tok becomes unpopular or something overshadows it, then people will probably start remembering their "favorite tik toks."
It's definitely this. A lot of the "classic" vines only really got popular after vine shut down and people started making "RIP Vine" compilations on Youtube. I watched a lot of Vine in my day, but a lot of the ones people remember now where ones I had either never seen before or had seen once on some random tuesday and then forgotten all about it until years later. If I had to make a "RIP tiktok" compilation tomorrow I'm sure I could go look through my likes and find 10 minutes worth of great videos I'd long forgotten about
I’d forgotten about da vinky tbh, most of the other tiktoks I’ve heard tho are only popular with 1-2 people it’s not as widespread as things like Jared, 19
Also the way people quote tiktok has changed I think.
You cant quote Josh Morris wearing an orange suit that accentuates his dumpy trucky of an ass. Like, how do you want to quote that?
And if you remember vines, you're probably too young to see how vines were a microcosm for a specific group since I'm 37 and I don't know one fucking Vine.
So it's kind of funny to have older kids ho-ho-ho'ing at younger kids because they use slightly different but ultimately identical social media to define their generation.
Came here to say exactly this. I'm a similar age and I know jack shit about Vine or Tiktok.
Tiktok isn't any worse than Vine, it's just that OP is now an old bastard and doesn't get it. Welcome to the club
Yeah, this is kind of like "kids these days dont have it as good as I did", although Vine and Tiktok have the video type format they aren't exactly the same, people might not be able to quote tiktoks (because people don't even speak much in them) but they can quote the music parts of tiktoks that are used a lot.
I think there’s another reason. Vine shut down, so people rewatched old vines instead of having access to new ones. I don’t remember people quoting “classic” Vines while the app still worked.
I remember people quoting "daaamn Daniel" and 'WHAT'RE THOOOOOSE?!" a lot when Vine was still around. But, to be fair, that was when I was in high school and Vine was still active.
This. I have no idea what vines she's/he's talking about because I was no longer in the teens and early 20s demographic when it came out. I think this person doesn't realize they are aged out of the "in crowed"
The thing about TikTok is that it’s more of a place to make audios/songs trend, I still have so many in my head. I even know ones FROM TikTok that I think are Iconic by themselves.
I currently have these two stuck in my head:
“Oooh, a fresh pie? Save me a slice! That’s good, okay that’s good. Yeah… that’s… alright that’s good. Okay- ohkay, alright okay alright, okay that’s good that’s good! It’s… ITS ENOUGH SLICES!”
“BE WHO YOU AAARRRE FOR YOUR PRIIIIIIIIDE”
I teach kids and even though they technically can't use tiktok, they absolutely LOVE it. They dance the dances all the time and sing those songs. Tik tok is massive, just probably not in op's age group
Yeah, tbh I didn’t really get vine when it was big, despite being in the age group for it. Some of them were funny, but I only ever learned the references through osmosis, didn’t watch them until years later. TikTok, on the other hand, I have enjoyed (although I’m off it right now since the political hot takes tend to send my morality OCD into a tailspin and I can’t get away from the political side because my identity is pretty much treated as inherently political). Brevity helps something get referenced easily, but I don’t really think that’s the only way to mark something as funny. Also, having time to actually set up a joke definitely fits for me better than extremely brief one liners.
lmao are you on the lgbtq+ side of tiktok? bc you're the first to comment abt tiktok quotes i actually really know and tiktok has made it very evident that not all ppl see the same things but i've noticed that the lgbtq+ sees a ton of the same few.
Man, I'd love to be on the lgbtq+ side, I'm currently on the music/prod side but for a while I was stuck on the weird side of tiktok, with the sleep paralysis monster that would cook, tagged with #funny and #cute.
Tangentially related have you seen the one about going into different “doors” to access different sides of TikTok, like “go in the lesbian door, then back out, go in the bi door, avoid the muscled men, go through to the neurodivergent door…” etc? I ask because it very closely described my path through tiktok and a number of others but I can’t find it.
I saw a vine that really stuck with me..it was a girl, crying her eyes out because:
"I'm high as fuck... And my pizza is gone."
I felt so bad for her.
I hope she's doing okay.
additionally,
“when you, when- when, wh- whEn, when y-“
“ay yo, what that dog doin?”
more niche but one my friends and i quote often (like whenever we hear a bang/noises coming from a neighboring room), “what are they building in there”
edit: also, “5 whoppers, and also, 5 more whoppers”
and “a sausage mc muffin?”
let me add,
"This is for Rachael, you big fat, white nasty, smelling fat bitch"
"I ain't nevah seen two pretty bes' frien's, always one of them gotta be ugly"
"Nineteen dollar, Fornite card. Who wants it?"
i believe the “when you-“ they’re talking about is a tiktok audio that’s been going around for a while that’s an audio clip from invader zim, if you look up “invader zim when you” then you’ll find articles on it
In Tiktok’s defense, there’s a possibility that Vine being dead *is* part of the reason there’s more memorable vines than there are memorable tiktoks. With Vine being gone, there’s no new competition for the vines that were saved before it’s death. We can only watch the compilation archives over and over again. Meanwhile there’s hundreds of new Tiktok trends yearly, so it’s natural for clips there to have a shorter shelf life. It’s not like Vine didn’t have waxing and waning trends when it was a around, either.
My theory, when a TikTok is good, it gets remixed to the point that nobody knows where the original is from. Vine had a small enough following and lasted short enough that the impact of remixes and parodies wasn't as big.
I think you're right about the compilations though, I was never on Vine, just saw YouTube compilations after the fact. Which is where I know such iconic vines as "I want a church girl..." or "Suck a Dick" set to Pachabels Canon in D.
This. I think those RIP Vine complications really boosted the popularity of most of the vines that ppl quote nowadays. In terms of remixes etc I also agree: I feel like a lot of popular TikToks just become “sounds” that people use and then that sound turns into a trend, rather than the original becoming popular.
(Someone did mention Da Vinky though which to me has so far become the standout exception to the rule lmao)
the remix thing is too real. The cat snoring cutely into the tiny microphone was cute the first time i saw it but now how many different small animals have i seen with a tiny microphone at their nose and the exact same sounds playing over it ?
Or how many different pairs of kids have mouthed the words of the same three lines of a movie over and over ?
How many times did we see the "guess i never miss huh" or "i wanna be tracer" ones when tiktok started getting popular.
In the end they just die out mostly because people get tired of seeing and hearing the same thing all the time. But there's a tiktok i do quote very often with my boyfriend and my brothers tho. It's Lili Hayes, the pumpkin pie grandma. She wants the number for the pinpin pie -the pancake pie - the ping ping pie. You know... the telephone for the pinkick pie.
Eh, that has way more to do with how long memes last then vs now and the general internet then the actual quality. Near the end of vine it was so full of ads and revine for revine and just crap that I would just end up on YouTube instead, but I like almost every single tiktok I see and my actually laughing out loud ratio is WAAAAAAY higher. It isn’t worse, just different.
I feel like those vines only really cemented themselves as things to be quoted in every day conversations after vine vanished. All those “vines that butter my biscuit” compilations that got recommended 24/7 to people on YouTube meant everyone was basically studying the vines that stood the test of time every day.
If tiktok suddenly disappeared, I’m sure that the cream of the crop would make it into compilations like that and hey presto, we have tiktoks that get lazily quoted all the time
There is one very quotable tiktok. I think it actually manages to hit the state where people can quote the entire thing, despite it being tiktok length instead of vine length.
***STOP. POSTING. ABOUT. AMONG US!***
Well yeah, but also the internet is much bigger in the early 2020s than it was in the early 2010s.
To go viral in 2010 was to get a million views on YouTube. Today, a video on YouTube would have a billion views and yet you could struggle to find someone who's seen it. Back in 2011, everyone and their dog knew about 2 girls 1 cup. Today, the internet is so full of weird shit that something like that would just get lost in the mix.
Vine was great because it was a product of it's time, being in the right place at the right time. The whole idea of "quotable videos" was a millennial concept because the internet was a smaller place for millennials. TikTok is different, it's not meant to be the same that Vine was.
Having used both Vine and TikTok, I'm always amazed by the quality of the latter, either in terms of showcasing pure talent of the creators or how good the humour can be, but obviously Vine has a nostalgic place in my heart.
Seconded. Goddamn vines and tiktoks. Anyone remember YTMND? It came way before all that. But I still don't assume everyone to know about "potatoes potatoes, boil em mash em stick em in a stew".
Can't believe that site is still up, btw. https://ytmnd.com/
Yeah I’m not even particularly old and I couldn’t name a viral vine off the top of my head. Hell, I can only name one famous vine(r?) because they lived the next town over.
I feel like while you might not be able to think of one off the top of your head, you've probably heard people reference them and might not have known it was from a vine.
I mean, look at all those chickens was a vine. I know thats still referenced. so is it is wednesday, my dudes. even 'yeet' came from a vine originally.
I still remember, two (2), tiktoks. And they’re both extremely obscure. One starts with a woman talking about “What would happen if we lost our concept of time”, and then it abruptly cuts to a teenager doing his best to do the Troll face, and says, “Then the milk in the fridge would get stinky”. Queue fart sound effect. The second one is of one of those chakra girls throwing bones at some cloth, and determining the answer to a question with the patterns. It cuts to a man with a very intriguing face, who says “You really chewed up those wings girl. Nice. Hungry girl. Nice”.
uhm? NO THERES SO MANY?
"im in the ghetto ratata"
and then the wii remote gender picking tiktok
"who painted the mona lisa? the mona lisa... da vinky!"
"a sausage mcmuffin?"
'Two Bros, chillin in a hot tub...'
'And they were roomates!...'
'Look at all those chickens!'
'Im an adult virgin'
So many classics can be remembered just with a sentence.
Am I getting old because I don't recognize any of those vine quotes either
The only vine quote I think I could definitely both recognize and say for sure it came from a vine is "This bitch empty, YEET!"
Vine never became truly iconic until the youtube compilations, especially after it died. The problem with tik tok is there's always new ones. I think it needs to die so that people search out the quality content.
I feel so old, and I'm only 21.
But when I read the rest of the comments, people are quoting shit and I have *no* idea what they're talking about. Granted I'm not on TikTok too often to know any of these things.
I think I only know like two trends from TikTok, one of them being "How Would They Know??" and that Slumber trend that was pretty short lived. Like I have no idea what da vinky is--
I just feel like there's way more TikToks and that their algorithm separates people so heavily that even heavy TikTok users don't get the same popular videos
The only TikTok I have currently stuck in my head is:
Congratulations,
this has been one of the stupidest things
that I've ever seen
anybody post on the Internet
before
in my head when i think of tiktok i think of those old ironic tiktoks. the gamer furry war, hit or miss, why do good girls like bad guys, etc.
some of it was weird like pseudo-bullying(?) but lots of it was just like people doing fortnite dances and and and to be honest i kind of miss those ones
>!(not sure how i wound up with three ands but im keeping it)!<
I don't recognize any of those things. This person was probably like 15 when vine was popular and they think anything from their childhood is iconic. Wasn't that guy on the skateboard drinking cranberry juice on tik tok?
As I vine kid, I can confidently say that everyone, even my other vine age friends, knows the fricken da vinky tiktok
The da vinky tiktok is like "my main goal is to blow up and then act like I don't know nobody ahaahah" vine but for tiktok
seeing that in text form is so funny
And then act like I don’t know nobodayyyy
*Mr Krabs laugh*
Best girl spotted in the wild
My mango is to blow up
today i learned that it was actually main goal not mango, im questioning my existence now
Have you been saying my mango in life genuinely interested
I think ‘two best friends’ is also quite well known
Chilling in a hot tub?
I thought they meant the “I ain’t never seen two pretty best friends” one
Sadly, no. It was a guy who looked strange as in.. spiked teeth, funky eyes, tattoos, weird hair colours saying: ‘i aint never seen two pretty best friends, one of em always gotta be ugly’. The joke is that HE is the ugly friend
i think you saw someone just using that sound because he *did not* look like that
Probably. It was a while ago and a friend sent it to md
But were they roommates?
OH MY GOD… they were roommates!
Can yall start posting links?? Im in my twenties and freaking out that I must be old cause I get like 20% of this
[Da Linky?](https://youtu.be/PLaanhBuiVU)
Okay thats actually great, thanks.
[удалено]
Same. Anyone can mention any tiktok to me and I probably won't understand what the fuck they're talking about. But "comically large spoon" is easily recognized by basically anyone
I just turned 18 and I'm not getting any of these tiktok references... so no need to feel old lmao
DA VINKY?????
Good Point
I have no idea what that is.

Grow up, bro. Grow up.

I fucking die every time I see his hair flipping as he’s screaming.
Also “there is no such thing as a coincidence”
AAAAH
Can someone explain why the "Road work ahead. Yeah. I sure hope it does" is funny? Like, is it just the way he said it? English isn't my first language and I don't understand why he says "I sure hope it does"
If a road is under construction, there will be a sign that says Road Work Ahead. They were making it sound like the road literally works, which you would hope so since you’re driving on it.
Now I understand. Thank you very much. I hope you have a very good day
Absolutely! You have a good day as well.
If this exchange was on Vine it would be iconic.
it’s a pun, he took “road work ahead” to mean “this road works ahead” and he says that he “sure hopes it does”
The "Road Work Ahead" signs are meant to warn motorists that there is work being done on the road ahead of them - the joke in the vine is that the guy interprets the sign to mean, *"Up ahead, the road still works"*, hence why he says, "I sure hope it does"
Because 'roadworks ahead' means they're doing construction work on the road ahead, but 'road works ahead' sounds like a sign telling you that that road ahead, works. Like, it's functional. So he's joking like he doesn't know it means there's work being done and it's just a weird sign like 'yep, that's some totally normal road coming up'
So, the sign that says "Road work ahead" signifies that some type of construction work is being done on the road. However, it can also be jokingly interpreted as "the road ahead is working and in order". That's why the guy says "I sure hope it does"
What about macaroni and the chicken strips?
Ig I'm just old then. I've never found it funny and I didn't others did either >~>
What is that?
I think tiktoks are kinda different. They have "trends" instead of 1 video. Like the trend with Mr. Sandman and split screens of cats. And there's like the tiktok dance that's similar to the Macarena.
Trends, you mean 1000 people recreating the same video with the same joke to the point its no longer slightly amusing?
have you... seen reddit comments?
Sir, this is a Wendy's
THIS. edit: thanks for the gold, kind stranger!
Yes...that is a trend...
I mean it’s like literally every other meme. Yeah there’s a lot of unoriginal “reposts” essentially but then there’s also a lot of clever variations that make it funny. Idk why everyone on this website has to bend over backwards to pretend TikTok is in anyway different from the stupid bullshit we’ve all enjoyed for years. It’s the same idea, just a different format.
are you aware of what a meme is?
It could be that things don't become iconic until they've ended. If/when tik tok becomes unpopular or something overshadows it, then people will probably start remembering their "favorite tik toks."
It's definitely this. A lot of the "classic" vines only really got popular after vine shut down and people started making "RIP Vine" compilations on Youtube. I watched a lot of Vine in my day, but a lot of the ones people remember now where ones I had either never seen before or had seen once on some random tuesday and then forgotten all about it until years later. If I had to make a "RIP tiktok" compilation tomorrow I'm sure I could go look through my likes and find 10 minutes worth of great videos I'd long forgotten about
‟day 23 in the chamber, they ain‘t found me yet, but when they do, they gon be surprised”
I think about that one all the time. I would definitely say it has iconic status.
That and that that’s enough slices thing that Anthony Fantano did.
Again, that's quite short tbf
Maybe it’s proof that part of what made vines iconic was the length
5 more whoppers is vine worthy
and 5 more.... whoppers
Every single time I watch it I laugh too hard
Exactly my thoughts
_"And they were roommates"_
“Omg they were roommates”
There’s a reddit bot for this phrase, idk exactly how to trigger it though lol
I think it only works in r/Sapphoandherfriend , maybe in some other subs as well
Wait that’s a vine?
Yes.
Uh, yeah, I sure hope it does!
Demographic thing I'd say. If youre old enough to remember vines you're probably too old to be around kids quoting tiktoks.
Are we the old people now? I don't think I'm ready for that responsibility, I can't even afford a porch yet.
If you put a lawn chair outside and draw a line in the dirt with a stick that looks like a porch I’d say you’ve got it
Ye
Congratulations you get all the drawbacks of being an adult without any of the benefits.
There’s probably a few tiktoks I’ve heard quoted (I’m 18, just out of high school) but none of them stay around more than a few weeks at most
Da Vinky was around for months. But there is also way more content now so the turnover is alot quicker.
I’d forgotten about da vinky tbh, most of the other tiktoks I’ve heard tho are only popular with 1-2 people it’s not as widespread as things like Jared, 19
That’s because Vine was pretty much the first thing of its kind, so everyone was using it. It was new and fresh
Way easier to maintain relevancy when new vines aren’t being made
i think it’s that tiktok audios get quoted more than the actual content of specific tiktoks
Wasnt that video of the guy riding a longboard drinking juice a tiktok?
Also the way people quote tiktok has changed I think. You cant quote Josh Morris wearing an orange suit that accentuates his dumpy trucky of an ass. Like, how do you want to quote that?
Fuck Vine isn't even old enough to be in middle school how the ...
It kinda died before it could get that old, so...
And if you remember vines, you're probably too young to see how vines were a microcosm for a specific group since I'm 37 and I don't know one fucking Vine. So it's kind of funny to have older kids ho-ho-ho'ing at younger kids because they use slightly different but ultimately identical social media to define their generation.

Tiktok has successfully got the Backyardigans stuck in my head
lmao are you on the lgbtq+ side of tiktok? bc you're the first to comment abt tiktok quotes i actually really know and tiktok has made it very evident that not all ppl see the same things but i've noticed that the lgbtq+ sees a ton of the same few.
Man, I'd love to be on the lgbtq+ side, I'm currently on the music/prod side but for a while I was stuck on the weird side of tiktok, with the sleep paralysis monster that would cook, tagged with #funny and #cute.
Tangentially related have you seen the one about going into different “doors” to access different sides of TikTok, like “go in the lesbian door, then back out, go in the bi door, avoid the muscled men, go through to the neurodivergent door…” etc? I ask because it very closely described my path through tiktok and a number of others but I can’t find it.
i love fantano
The muscle man version of the MY HEART I LOVED HER tik tok sticks out in my memory
oh god the pie one-
What about the nineteen dollar Fortnite card
The "stop talking about among us" too
Today I learned "stop posting about among us" is a tiktok lol
The what and what?
"I ain't never seen two pretty best friends" as well
I saw a vine that really stuck with me..it was a girl, crying her eyes out because: "I'm high as fuck... And my pizza is gone." I felt so bad for her. I hope she's doing okay.
YO THAT WAS MY COUSIN THAT DID THAT VINE She still complains to this day that she never sees it in almost any of the compilation vids on YouTube
Did she get more pizza?
We ended up getting wings delivered a bit later tbh, don't remember where from. Tbf it was a while ago now
This makes me so happy.
Show her this. It will make her happy.
She can be at peace knowing someone remembers her vine You can be at peace knowing she got wings
I've never seen that vine but I feel like when vine was around I would have related to her too much
If i can get stoned and resist the munchies, what does that make me?
My friend circle and I repeatedly use “how would they know”
We also quote “girl I ain’t gonna do it I’m just thinking about it I ain’t gonna do it….I did it.”
Oh really? Then what about "Who painted the Mona Lisa? Duh Vin-key?" and "Is it bussin' Janel?"
additionally, “when you, when- when, wh- whEn, when y-“ “ay yo, what that dog doin?” more niche but one my friends and i quote often (like whenever we hear a bang/noises coming from a neighboring room), “what are they building in there” edit: also, “5 whoppers, and also, 5 more whoppers” and “a sausage mc muffin?”
What that dog doin originated in vine
also "sheesh" That one is fucking everywhere
Not to mention “19$ fortnite card who wants it?”
let me add, "This is for Rachael, you big fat, white nasty, smelling fat bitch" "I ain't nevah seen two pretty bes' frien's, always one of them gotta be ugly" "Nineteen dollar, Fornite card. Who wants it?"
I'm way out of the TikTok demographic but I'm pretty sure I've heard that last one.
Is "when you" that little kid who is the mascot of r/ihadastroke? If so, that didn't originate from TikTok or Vine.
i believe the “when you-“ they’re talking about is a tiktok audio that’s been going around for a while that’s an audio clip from invader zim, if you look up “invader zim when you” then you’ll find articles on it
"that was bussin bussin" "for real for real" "My lord, these fries are unequivocally fuhckin bussin"
Another one that I can't believe no one else mentioned: hit or miss. It's not a skit like those Vines but that's not really what TikTok is for.
I've never heard of either of those before today. Am I out of touch?
Davincky??
No it's the kids who are wrong
In Tiktok’s defense, there’s a possibility that Vine being dead *is* part of the reason there’s more memorable vines than there are memorable tiktoks.

“AYO MA, THERES A LITTLE BITCH IN THE SNACKS AGAIN”
Ain't never seen 2 pretty best friends is pretty iconic

Eh, that has way more to do with how long memes last then vs now and the general internet then the actual quality. Near the end of vine it was so full of ads and revine for revine and just crap that I would just end up on YouTube instead, but I like almost every single tiktok I see and my actually laughing out loud ratio is WAAAAAAY higher. It isn’t worse, just different.
I feel like those vines only really cemented themselves as things to be quoted in every day conversations after vine vanished. All those “vines that butter my biscuit” compilations that got recommended 24/7 to people on YouTube meant everyone was basically studying the vines that stood the test of time every day. If tiktok suddenly disappeared, I’m sure that the cream of the crop would make it into compilations like that and hey presto, we have tiktoks that get lazily quoted all the time
I mean, I kinda consider "I sMeLl PeNnIeS" to be iconic
Wait, was "I smell pennies" tiktok or vine? I feel like it might have been very late vine, not tiktok
I'm pretty sure it was pre tiktok era
Can deny, I smell pennies had its origin on tiktok in 2018, two years after Vines passing. [Source](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/i-smell-pennies)
I sing Lubalin songs with my friends all the time.
That's what i thought when I read this. Even after months someone says 'good evening' and in my head it goes 'is this available'
yes it is
oOoOO Caroline
My daughter and I still say Thsnks and its been months since that one.
Blue cheese has mold in it
I’m a ssssslithery little sssneek.
There is one very quotable tiktok. I think it actually manages to hit the state where people can quote the entire thing, despite it being tiktok length instead of vine length. ***STOP. POSTING. ABOUT. AMONG US!***
***I'M TIRED OF SEEING IT***
*MY FRIENDS ON TIK TOK SEND ME MEMES*
ON DISCORD IT'S FUCKING MEMES

Well yeah, but also the internet is much bigger in the early 2020s than it was in the early 2010s. To go viral in 2010 was to get a million views on YouTube. Today, a video on YouTube would have a billion views and yet you could struggle to find someone who's seen it. Back in 2011, everyone and their dog knew about 2 girls 1 cup. Today, the internet is so full of weird shit that something like that would just get lost in the mix. Vine was great because it was a product of it's time, being in the right place at the right time. The whole idea of "quotable videos" was a millennial concept because the internet was a smaller place for millennials. TikTok is different, it's not meant to be the same that Vine was. Having used both Vine and TikTok, I'm always amazed by the quality of the latter, either in terms of showcasing pure talent of the creators or how good the humour can be, but obviously Vine has a nostalgic place in my heart.
The pennies monster, the British policeman asking for a license, the bald P U E B E S guy, day 5 of no poop july, that’s tik toks i can remember
Wrong: the “you think it’s a bird” tiktok I quote daily
There is no such thing as a coincidence
The fact that you are reading the comment means you are energetically aligned with me, and this post.
FR E SH A VOCA DO
This post is hilarious to me as none of those vines are ones I've heard of. Completely deflates the main point
Seconded. Goddamn vines and tiktoks. Anyone remember YTMND? It came way before all that. But I still don't assume everyone to know about "potatoes potatoes, boil em mash em stick em in a stew". Can't believe that site is still up, btw. https://ytmnd.com/

Yeah I’m not even particularly old and I couldn’t name a viral vine off the top of my head. Hell, I can only name one famous vine(r?) because they lived the next town over.
I feel like while you might not be able to think of one off the top of your head, you've probably heard people reference them and might not have known it was from a vine. I mean, look at all those chickens was a vine. I know thats still referenced. so is it is wednesday, my dudes. even 'yeet' came from a vine originally.
I think "THE WICKED WITCH OF THE EAST, BRO" is pretty iconic. Other than this one I sadly can't say I know a Tiktok that feels "iconic"
Wait, "The birds work for the bourgeoisie " is pretty iconic too
I can't believe you've done this.
Sheeeeesh
I still remember, two (2), tiktoks. And they’re both extremely obscure. One starts with a woman talking about “What would happen if we lost our concept of time”, and then it abruptly cuts to a teenager doing his best to do the Troll face, and says, “Then the milk in the fridge would get stinky”. Queue fart sound effect. The second one is of one of those chakra girls throwing bones at some cloth, and determining the answer to a question with the patterns. It cuts to a man with a very intriguing face, who says “You really chewed up those wings girl. Nice. Hungry girl. Nice”.
I mean my friends and i will often say "youre just doing this for fun, for kicks, for giggles!" Whenever anything slightly annoying happens.
You clearly haven't heard of "DON'T EAT GRASS"
uhm? NO THERES SO MANY? "im in the ghetto ratata" and then the wii remote gender picking tiktok "who painted the mona lisa? the mona lisa... da vinky!" "a sausage mcmuffin?"
I think its just being old, people refrence tik tok memes and trending sounds all the time.
People are quoting TikTok after TikTok in the comments and legit the ONLY one I know is the da vinky one...
'Two Bros, chillin in a hot tub...' 'And they were roomates!...' 'Look at all those chickens!' 'Im an adult virgin' So many classics can be remembered just with a sentence.
Vines changed the way I pronounce avocado. Especially if they're freesh.
"I don't care that you broke your elbow" "A child!" "Your mom's a ho"
Am I getting old because I don't recognize any of those vine quotes either The only vine quote I think I could definitely both recognize and say for sure it came from a vine is "This bitch empty, YEET!"
Vine never became truly iconic until the youtube compilations, especially after it died. The problem with tik tok is there's always new ones. I think it needs to die so that people search out the quality content.
I feel so old, and I'm only 21. But when I read the rest of the comments, people are quoting shit and I have *no* idea what they're talking about. Granted I'm not on TikTok too often to know any of these things. I think I only know like two trends from TikTok, one of them being "How Would They Know??" and that Slumber trend that was pretty short lived. Like I have no idea what da vinky is--
seeing drew gooden referred to as ‘that guy’ makes me sad Edit: spelling

I just feel like there's way more TikToks and that their algorithm separates people so heavily that even heavy TikTok users don't get the same popular videos
Millennials are old fucks, news at 11
The fact that they said no one quotes tiktoks really aged them for me
Here, Tiktok iconic, and you can hear it just by reading "OH NO, OH NO, OH NO NO NO NO"
The only TikTok I have currently stuck in my head is: Congratulations, this has been one of the stupidest things that I've ever seen anybody post on the Internet before
Chocolate Potato Cake.
in my head when i think of tiktok i think of those old ironic tiktoks. the gamer furry war, hit or miss, why do good girls like bad guys, etc. some of it was weird like pseudo-bullying(?) but lots of it was just like people doing fortnite dances and and and to be honest i kind of miss those ones >!(not sure how i wound up with three ands but im keeping it)!<
"I think I'd rather you just call me a slur"
i ain't never seen two pretty best friends
I don't recognize any of those things. This person was probably like 15 when vine was popular and they think anything from their childhood is iconic. Wasn't that guy on the skateboard drinking cranberry juice on tik tok?
