Vine proved that six seconds is all it takes to go viral. This week, Twitter announced that they are shutting down the video-sharing app, which empowered actors, comedians, and a whole slew of creatives to explore their craft in just a few seconds. Vine may be gone, but its legacy will not be forgotten. Hundreds of years from now, may digital archaeologists uncover whatever is left of Vine in the Cloud and ponder over our society’s deeply disturbing/remarkable penchant for memes.
In memoriam, here are 15 of our favorite pop culture Vines from the world of video games, TV, and movies. May they live long and auto-play forever… or at least until the servers get shut down.
