Tesla shares jump after EV maker vows to speed up launch of more affordable models

Have You Seen the Duck Vine? You Should Really See the Duck Vine.

·Assistant Editor

America this morning is no doubt busy at work clicking through all the six-second recaps from Sunday night’s sooo Vineable MTV Video Music Awards.

But trust us, no matter how great the looping vids of the Nicki-Miley beef or Kanye’s presidential announcement are, neither of those was the best Vine of the weekend.

This was:

In fact, the “duck army” Vine is the best piece of media the Internet has produced in the entire month of August — and probably the summer/the year/our lifetimes.

In just under a day of existence, this thing has over 38 million loops (most coming from Yahoo Tech employees, sure). At this rate, “duck army” will probably be the most looped Vine ever by Monday afternoon. (Vine doesn’t make it easy to identify what the current most looped Vine is, but a May 2015 post by Logan Paul has been played over 40 million times.)

As for MTV’s dashed hopes of taking its VMA Vines to a level of historic virality: Kanye, we’re happy for you. And good luck in 2020. But “duck army” is probably the greatest Vine of all time.
