Helfry Ranks Memes Season 3 Episode 3 Vine Edition

Hey Everyone Helfry here and today i’m gonna make another special edition of ranking memes today, so yesterday at the time i’m writing this article it’s Vine’s 11th Birthday, and all of you younguns out there probably don’t understand what i’m talking about soooo, Vine was a popular app that allowed you to make shorts that are exactly 6 seconds long i don’t know why they did six but it made people have to go fast when it comes to making a skit or something, but unfortunately nothing lasts forever. In January of 2017 The Vine Mobile app was shut down frankly due to competition with other companies but other apps did follow suit the first of which was musical.ly which was later rebranded into Tik Tok, and then youtube made youtube shorts and finally instagram made instagram reels. So in this episode i’m going to be ranking memes specifically from vine so without any further adieu, Let’s jump into it. And also all the images used were from Know Your Meme

#1 (Ayo, Look Who Fell Asleep First) Prank him Jon!, This vine came from well-known youtuber and viner CalebCity where in the original video Jon and his friends noticed that one friend was the first to fall asleep at a sleepover and jon decides to prank him by hitting the sleeping friend so hard with his built-up rage the vine itself got 1.1 million loops 26 thousand likes before Vine Closed its doors. HOWEVER, someone over on youtube decided to make an edit to the vine where jon assaulted the sleeping friend instead of slapping them and this is where i’m crossing the line here, anyways most of the popular viners did transfer over to youtube or Tik Tok and calebcity was one of them, he transferred over to youtube and know he does long-form skits but he does dabble a bit on short-form skits. But that’s it for this meme, it’s quite funny, the edit should probably question it’s own choices but overall it’s quite funny 6/10.

#2 He Needs Some Milk, this video involves some guy having a public freakout at a parking lot presumably high on the good stuff with a random woman filming the whole video and at some point the guy having the freakout trips on the ground face-first to which the woman exclaims the phrase “He Needs Some Milk!” this video was really popular especially on vine and it was used in several fail videos with people falling or getting injured in different ways and to be honest showing off someone getting injured for clout is not only scummy of you, it also makes you an [CENSORED], I apologize for my potty-mouth but injuries are a very serious topic that shouldn’t be made fun of at all, and i am saying this from my experience of tripping over stuff and getting cuts and bruises and stuff, anyways this meme may be funny and all but the fact about people are getting themselves and/or someone injured just for clout just instantly ruins it for me so it gets a 2/10 in my book.

#3: King Bach: You already know i was going to do a ranking on him given that this is the vine edition of Ranking Memes, in case you haven’t gone up on the lore of this series you guys may remember that last summer i ranked the comically large spoon meme where king bach pulls out said spoon after his friend says to only take a spoonful of ice cream, not only did he make that meme he also made the “What The Dog Doing” Meme where a couple of his friends and a dog just straight up take a few of bach’s mints and one of the friends exclaim said quote, he’s also made a couple more vines some of which are quite relatable to say the least like when you accidentally trip and fall and something falls out of your pocket like spaghetti in the video, another one of which is when the girl on tinder doesn’t match the profile. Anyways all of his vines were pretty funny and relatable and just like calebcity he’s moved over to youtube and TikTok though i might be wrong here but anyways it gets a solid 8/10. (Also a small update on King Bach I saw a video on how he was being racist with people so the rating is gonna have to be bumped down to a 6/10, i haven't watched the whole thing but bare with me on that, okay?)

Anyways, that's 3 vine themed memes ranked, thank you so much for reading and I'll see you guys again in my next article… and trust me it’s gonna be a big surprise.

I'm going on the subway!

Hello, everyone. I have great news. I am going to take the subway! On February 1, 2024, I saw videos showcasing the R211 train cars attached to the C line. I was so excited that I decided to buy my own Metrocard just to ride the R211 A and C trains. My teacher doesn’t want me filming the MTA on school trips anymore, so this will be an opportunity for me to ride (film) the subway on my own.

The C-line has the open gangways, which is the “T” variant of the R211, and the A-line doesn’t have the open gangways, which is the “A” variant of the R211. This is because the R211T is not compatible with express lines. As a result, R211T’s are on local lines, and R211A’s are on express lines. It took me a while to obtain the Metrocard, which is $1.

On day 1, I learned the minimum value is $5.80, so I couldn’t buy a Metrocard without the value. On day 2, I transacted from 5 different Metrocard machines until I learned they only go up to $6.00 in coins. One of my classmates was kind enough to lend me a $1 bill so I could try again on day 3. On day 3, I put in coins and a $1 bill. I finally got a Metrocard, which expires on January 31, 2025. It makes sense since the MTA is discontinuing Metrocards later in 2024. I hope the MTA at least gives Nassau County & Westchester Bee-Line Buses time to accept OMNY.

Beginning Saturday morning, I will start my journey to the 207th Street Station, ride the elevator (obviously), swipe my Metrocard, and wait for the R211 A train.

I rode the subway, and I will continue to ride it!

Hello, everyone. I can’t wait to tell you about my adventure. I went on the subway, and that was to ride the R211 A and C trains. I began by walking to the 207th St A Train station. I swiped my Metrocard through the turnstile, and from there I saw a downtown R211 just sitting there, accompanied by an uptown R179. My goal was to avoid R179 and R46 train cars. I went on the train, and after 9 minutes, the ride began.

I got off on 145th Street (originally 168th Street, but I wanted more time on the A), and from there, I caught a downtown R211 C Train arriving at the station. The C-line has the open gangways, which is the “T” variant of the R211, and the A-line doesn’t have the open gangways, which is the “A” variant of the R211. This is because the R211T is not compatible with express lines. As a result, R211T’s are on local lines, and R211A’s are on express lines.

My goal was to get off on 50th Street. And I filmed the entire ride. After I got off, I filmed an elevator at a grocery store, and a church with a restaurant for senior citizens. The elevators at the downtown 50th St station were not responding. After that, I went to film the electric gate behind my school on 51st St for some time. After that, I filmed a huge electric gate at the Javits Center and fell in love with the mechanics.

The poles go down/up before the gate opens/closes. The machine and poles have separate beepers. After that, I went to Hudson Yards. The vessel was closed, so I decided to film the elevators at the shopping mall/restaurant, the High Line, the Tribeca Bridge on Chambers Street, and the Chambers Street station with the IRT trains, such as 1, 2, and 3. I made my journey home on the 1, and as soon as I heard “transfer to the A B C D” at the time of the 1 train arriving at 59th St-Columbus Circle, I got off the train to ride the R211 A and C trains. I’ve been seeing R179 A and C Trains arrive. It took a while for an R211 to show up. An R211 A train arrived, so I got on it. Inside one of the cars was a guitarist. I was the luckiest subway rider at that time.

I got off at 145th Street again, to take the C train back. After multiple R179's and R46's arrived and left, an R211 train car arrived, so I went on it, and transferred back to the 1 train on 168th Street, The last stop for the C train. I was tired of filming elevators, so I just filmed a ride down on one elevator and rode the 1 train, which only has R62 and R62A train cars. An R62A set arrived at the station. I was originally going to get off at the 238th Street station to visit my grandma, but I decided to go to 242nd Street-Van Cortlandt Park, the last stop, and finish my train trip that way.
