While Vine stopped existing in 2016, many of its biggest stars have carried on as iconic internet celebrities. Even now, short Vine compilations still get millions of views on YouTube, and there are still multiple Instagram and Twitter accounts dedicated to them. Several vines have carried on their internet life as memes or gifs and have even been pasted onto merchandise. Adam and Patrick Perkins found viral fame on the app, particularly for one clip showing Patrick blowing a smoke circle using a vape on a desk when Adam, who carries the camera, blows it away. He turns to the camera and exasperatedly says \u201cAdam!.\u201d Another iconic and highly quotable vine shows Adam walking into his bathroom in just a pair of boxers saying: \u201cHi, welcome to chillis.\u201d Due to their identical looks, many people thought the vines all featured the same person, and in November 2020, Patrick was forced to confirm that he and Adam were actually separate people. Clearly Adam\u2019s impact online was huge, and he will be missed by people around the globe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
