The Year of the Vines

On the 27th of January it was a year since the blessed Vine app became viral, launching the 'careers' of many now certified Vine Celebrities. It's quite ridiculous to think how much attention these 6 second videos are acquiring, names such as Nash Grier, a simple 16 year old have now received more followers than Justin Bieber.

I'll be the first to confess I have a vine account with no videos uploaded, that I use daily to watch these Vine famous 'celebrities' making complete and utter tits of themselves. It's an odd new platform, because I'm starting to feel like I actually know these people. In America, people are paying top dollar to meet these internet phenomenon at arranged meet-ups. 

I have compiled a list of my favourite ten Viners and included my favourite uploads of theirs:


10. Jack & Jack 
Two American guys with the same name, what an original premise for a double act?! They're probably my favourite of the young Viners. 


9. Rudy Manusco
Oh goodie, someone who is not afraid to take the piss out of themselves. Rudy's ability to constantly mock his Mexican roots make him a hilarious follow


8.  Arthur
It's great to see the Brits finally getting some recognition for their Vining efforts. And anyone that mocks our nation's love of a cuppa is a winner in my books.


7. DRose
She is not afraid to speak her mind and has the most adorable little daughter. Both winning combinations, kids and bitch fights.


6. Simone Shepherd
Without coming across myself as exceedingly racist, the constant subtle racism Simone uses never gets tired. Plus she's black, she's allowed to be racist right? (cue racism arguments)


5. Nash Grier
Unfortunately, I think those American Teenage fangirls would start sending me death threats if I didn't feature Nash. Sometimes he is funny, but mainly when his sister is involved. I think fame has gone to his head...


4.  KC James
The 'This Makes No Sense' series are quite possibly the most disturbing yet priceless vines out there at the moment. The one below features a burning pineapple...


3.  Brittany Furlan
Probably the Queen of Vine, girls want to be here, boys want to collaborate with her. She must be one of the most featured Viners out there.



2. Alexander Holtti
This was a very close second place for me. I'm not sure why, but this kills me every time. I think it's his mastering of the comic timing.


1. Jordan Burt
I think mainly, I just want to be him. He is hysterical and everything he does is the perfect of balance of dorkily cool
