This past Thursday, Twitter made an announcement that left many internet users with a bad taste in their mouth-- they would be discontinuing the once wildly popular social media app, Vine. What used to be a powerhouse of memes, internet celebrities and bizarre musical remixes will soon become a distant memory, the MySpace of the current era. While there were a number of reasons cited for Twitter's decision to kill Vine, it's important to look back and see what made the short-form video app so popular.

Look at All Those Chickens!

Because let's be real. What's more adorable than this mis-classification of winged bird?

A Potato Flew Around My Room Before You Came

A Vine classic, this cover gave Frank Ocean himself a run for his money. Probably.

Back at it Again at Krispy Kreme

What originally appeared to be a feat of gymnastics ended in tragedy and destruction of private property. That's rough, buddy.

I'm In me Mum's Car (Broom, Broom)

It's easy to see what made this video blow up-- so much meme-able material in such a condensed timeperiod, from the singsong way "I'm in me mum's car" is delivered, to the strong accent in the mother's reply-- "Get out me car!"

Aww.

"Two Shots" of Vodka (feat. Cookie Monster)

I can't help but collapse into a heap of uncontrollable laughter every time Cookie Monster unceremoniously collapses against the dishwasher. It's a problem.

Girl, You're Thicker than a Bowl of Oatmeal

I'm with the convict on this one-- not sure where she came up with that, but pretty effective nonetheless.

This Dramatic Turnaround

This is one of those Vines that just seems to get increasingly better and funnier every single loop.

What Are Those?

The Vine That Launched A Thousand Memes, this six-second video is a perfect showcase on just how easily the internet can turn anything into a meme.

Deez Nuts

A vine that went so viral the star decided to run for president- causing a new policy to be created preventing satirical candidates to run for office in the future- this simple, bizarre vine accumulated a countless number of loops and was frequently quoted all over the world for months after its going viral.

The Solution to 9+10

One of the most iconic vines of all time, even spawning a runaway hoax, this meme is easily the most frequently-cited math problem I heard throughout my junior year of high school.

RIP Vine: 2013-2016

Thanks for the memories.
