Yay We Did It Again Gif
GIPHY's Top 25 GIFs of 2019
2019 was a wild one — you're not alone in looking back and saying "…what the hell happened this year?"
We know the feeling. We've been busy innovating short-form content with the launch of Animated Emojis and Text, GIPHY SDK for developers, a powerful branded content platform via GIPHY for Marketers, and an addictive and shareable game platform called GIPHY Arcade.
However, when it comes to actually understanding what happened this year… it all comes down to content. Sure, there will be plenty of annual recaps over the coming weeks, but do any of those really capture how we felt in 2019? Our Top 25 most-viewed GIFs mirror the world's shifting moods, reactions, and emotions. So, what's the takeaway? Plenty of joy, a healthy amount of frustration, a dash of indifference, and a LOT of OOP.
To start, here are the top partner and artist channels on GIPHY in 2019:
- Partners: Saturday Night Live led the way with 9.6 billion views. Not far behind was its parent network, NBC. Sports also had a big moment on GIPHY with the NBA and MLB taking top channel spots as well!
- Artists: megan motown led the artist category with 14.2 billion views. She was closely followed by Chris Timmons, Nora Fikse, Aisforai, and Sarah The Palmer.
And now for the big reveal. See below for the 25 GIFs that absolutely dominated the GIF world in 2019!
