Yep, this video is 48 minutes long. What are you gonna do about it, fight me? I DARE you.

Here are the timecodes of each section in case you'd like to skip around:
00:00 - One year ago
02:23 - Intro
04:24 - Where Are They Now? Pt. 1
09:12 - Why I think Vine's demise was inevitable
15:15 - Where Are They Now? Pt. 2
19:00 - Camp Unplug
24:21 - Where Are They Now? Pt. 3
28:38 - In Memoriam
29:02 - A Love Story
40:33 - Conclusion (plus my thoughts on "Vine 2")

Before you get mad at me that almost all of the "where are they now" bits are fake, please remember; I do not care. There are a lot of jokes in this video. Some of them will make you laugh. Some of them will elicit absolutely no response. And that's okay. I tried my best.

This video is about 36 minutes longer than it needed to be. I spent a lot of time making this because I saw it as a tribute to vine, and so I wanted to make it as good as I could. I talk about vine, the cool things they allowed me to do, and the most important person I met because of it. And of course, I examine where some of Vine's brightest stars have ended up after its demise. Again, these are all jokes. To me it was more fun to write a bunch of fake scenarios than to actually make a video about how the deez nuts guy is like a substitute teacher now or whatever. Do you really care about that? I don't.

Some of you won't like this video, and that's okay. I made this for me, and I'm very happy with what I made. Here's what I'm anticipating will be the most common responses:
"Too long"
"Stop making videos about vine"
"What's that smell? Is that... burnt toast? Oh my god, I think I'm having a stroke. Somebody please call 911"

All fair criticisms, especially in regards to the length. I totally get that most people won't want to watch a 48 minute video. Don't worry, I will be back very soon with more digestible content. I've probably said that before and then not done it, but just trust me this time. New video next week.

    NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO COMMENT FOR THE NEXT 49 MINUTES OKAY YOU GOTTA WATCH THE WHOLE VIDEO BEFORE COMMENTING THAT'S THE DEAL
  • @johnt6060
    “just because they share the same social media accounts and look the exact same doesn’t mean that they’re the same person.” Paul Zimmer furiously taking notes
  • @mollym450
    tell me why i googled “deez nuts prank hour” thinking it was real
  • If Vine didn't close down Drew would have had lots of problems every time a cute girl said he was cute. In some parallel dimension Vine is still strong and Drew has 300 wives.
  • My 12 years old granddaughter introduced me to you, Drew. I enjoy your dry wit and goofy humor.
  • @ellystoffel4174
    THE FACT THAT DREW AND HIS FIANCE'S RELATIONSHIP STEMMED FROM A VINE COMMENT FROM A FAN MAKES ME SO SAPPY
  • This is my third time rewatching this video in like a year and a half and I just now realized that from Amanda’s perspective she is married to her celebrity crush
  • @ballistachicken
    I know I'm seeing this video and commenting on it literally over 5 years later, but seeing him talk about meeting Amanda and how that worked is the most heartwarming thing
  • @fleetdogs8013
    Idk why you kept saying Amanda instead of Danny in your love story
  • @artemis5608
    Drew gushing over Amanda and their story is the cutest thing ever
  • @Yougotcaged102
    How did I not realize it was all a joke until the Corbin Blue one? The way Drew talks is uncomfortably convincing
  • Imagine if Amanda was an axe murderer but liked you so much she was like "Actually, I'ma spare him"
  • @idunnojim1301
    Stranger: this a good vine Drew: MARRY ME NOW WOMAN
  • amanda :your cute drew: wanna move in with me and get married ,i’ll let you chose the ring
  • @eilisinivy
    I had a kind of similar experience to Drew&Amanda, where I met my first partner through YouTube. I was 14 in 2008 and I was super into Red vs Blue, and she made RvB parody videos. So i asked her in the comments of one of her videos if I could use her character in a fanfiction, and she said "No." And then we dated long distance for 5 years
  • @Mori-wy8my
    The fact that this video marks the exact mid point, the one year where neither Vine nor TikTok existed, truly remarkable
  • @5tinygrapes
    My guy went from 6 second videos to a solid 48 minutes of nonstop content. Now that's showing the judges versatility
  • @GarryM180
    Could you do a where are they now on the "road work ahead" guy? I Cant believe you'd do an entire video on viners and not mention him once smh
  • fun story: just a few months ago i was in the car with a friend and they spotted the sign and said, out loud, "road work ahead," and I immediately replied, "yeah, I sure hope it does." They had somehow never heard that joke before. RIP Vine.
