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.

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
"a child" said in the style of that video is heard 10x a week in my workplace. as well as:
"ah fuck, I can't believe you've done this"
My wife and I constantly say "A Child!" any time we see a kid do something stupid/annoying.
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
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.
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.
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.
Haha wow, I did not come across this one back in the day, thank you
I don't know who that dude is, but I'm sure the internet does. As these things went, he did a whole series of clips of Obama impersonations in various ridiculous scenarios.

Road work ahead?
When life gives you lemons!
*Doot doot dee doo doot*
Back at it again at Krispy Kreme!
SMACK
And with a perfect cut at the end to keep us looping the video to figure out how bad it went for him
Back at it again reminded me of this one, https://youtube.com/shorts/zAECoPpTJks
Man Shellfish has lived rent free in my mind for over a decade
For me it's "Free shavak adoo"
Arthur Vines:
🎵First, let me hop out the mower of the lawn🎵
All of Nicholas Megalis vines.
He perfected the art of loopable vines, which can make them harder to appreciate nowadays but he’ll always be my favorite.

Check out the buns on that guy.
This is the comedy police! Your joke is too funny!
IM NOT GOING BACL TO JAIL!!!
mainly think of the last 2 lines when I think of a dumb joke
None. What is vine?
Serious question?
A short-lived short-form video app that came along before Vine. Limited to 7 seconds of looping video, it was something odd or stupid or special depending on your perspective.
If you look up vine compilations on YouTube, remember that it was looping video. So whatever you missed the first time you could pick up on the 2nd or 3 round. Individual Vines on Shorts is the closest experience.
It was an older short-form video sharing platform that was owned by Twitter that shutdown in 2017.
