- (Finebros) Had you ever seen this meme before today?
- I think I've seen something like it.
If not it.
- I've never seen that meme.
- I've never seen that before.
- (Finebros) Did you like it? - Very much so.
- Yeah, it's funny. - Yeah, it's funny.
- I had a good time.
You know something is coming; you're waiting for it.
- Definitely followed the meme format.
- I don't know. I mean, there was that point
where it wasn't funny anymore, and then it got funny again.
- I wasn't a huge fan of it, but it was okay. They had Mrs. Puff.
- (Finebros) So if you had to guess,
where do you think this meme has become popular?
- Vine.
- Vine?
'Cause it's, like, six seconds.
- Vine.
'Cause there's-- what is that-- six-and-a-half-second clips.
- (Finebros) So this actually predates Vine.
- (fascinated) Really?
- (Finebros) This was a popular trend in 2008.
- Hmm!
- Really?
- Those videos? What?!
- (Finebros) So trends very similar to this
are now all over the web, especially on Vine.
Does it surprise you that this style of meme
was around that long ago? - That totally surprises me.
- It makes sense, because every clip I'd recognize,
I was like, "Those are old clips."
- It's crazy. I did not know that type of culture
existed back then.
- Everybody on Vine refuses to believe
that there was an idea that was before Vine.
- It's like the precursor to Vine.
Really feels like Vine videos.
- (Finebros) What's interesting is Vine has become so popular,
but a lot of people say they don't get it,
due to how short the content is, yet there's been memes
and super-short viral videos
since the early days of the internet.
What do you think about that?
- It's the same people who are blowing wind
when the television came out.
Entertainment is always gonna shift.
It's always gonna change, 'cause people are always changing.
- I don't know why Vine is hated on so much. Maybe it's jealousy.
I mean, I know that I'm jealous of Viners.
I can't make six seconds very funny.
- There was definitely a part of me that, when Vine was popping,
a part of me that was like, "Ugh!
They're getting such a huge following off six-second videos."
I don't know how to Vine. Like, I can't do that.
My brain doesn't work like that.
- (Finebros) So back to WTF boom,
compared to the viral trends similar to today,
do you think the entertainment holds up
and this could make a comeback on Vine?
- Uh, I mean, if they got more recent clips.
- Maybe. It's funny. - I hope so.
- I feel like it's probably gonna be around for a while.
- Definitely.
I see people upload old stuff all the time on Vine.
- I thought it was funny. I laughed hard.
So I don't see why it couldn't be relevant now.
- This is like the same as a John Cena thing, you know?
It's like it sets you up.
And then it's like funny because it's random.
And now it's funny 'cause it's familiar,
you know what I'm saying?
Then it's like, "Ahh, it's the explosion thing! That's funny!"
