What this wasThe story
A young girl in a car looks out of the window at a field and says, with enormous feeling, look at all those chickens. That is the entire Vine. There is no punchline and nothing else happens.
It is the purest example of the Vine form's strangest capability: six seconds with no joke in them, made funny entirely by the gap between the speaker's wonder and the ordinariness of what she is looking at. Paste placed it seventh in its farewell ranking of the platform, and the line remains in circulation as a reply to any large quantity of anything.
The account it was posted from was named for the phrase, and neither the girl nor the poster has ever been publicly identified in reporting this archive could find — which is itself typical of Vine, where a great many of the most-quoted clips have no known author.
Why it is here: it got out of its own corner of the internet fast · still being watched and quoted years later

Where it came fromWhat we know
The original upload no longer exists. It has been identified, and nothing that survives is both legitimate and playable — so this page is the record, and the video is gone.
The original was identified by research and is no longer online. What is shown here is a surviving copy somebody else published, which is why this record makes no claim to be the first upload.
