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

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.
Something about Vine was so good. But I hate Tik Tok. Can't put my finger on it
~~you got old~~
It's uh... the algorithm... probably
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.
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.
Storytime! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9Ge8z-nAEg
Not a particular video, but the storytime videos by Thomas Sanders.
Those are so good!
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.
Ooh, that's a good one!
I am also using this space as an opportunity to suggest, "Crunch Berries, nigga, damn." And probably get crucified for it.

It's Wednesday my dudes
This is constantly referenced on major platform to this day and is not considered outdated.
Truly a timeless meme. 10/10, no notes.

π΅First, let me hop out the mower of the lawnπ΅
First let me hop out the mother-father's van...
T t t t t t t t t t t t targettttt
For me it's "Free shavak adoo"
This was my kid's battlecry for years when he was little. Had no idea where he got it lol
"What the fuck is up, Kyleβ½"
"I can't believe you've done this."
The "you made me a sandwich" one. Warms my heart.
All of Nicholas Megalis vines.
He perfected the art of loopable vines, which can make them harder to appreciate nowadays but heβll always be my favorite.
