Beat Title: “You Stupid”

The Internet is full of videos that were posted solely for the viewer to laugh at somebody’s pain and embarrassment, but when a Vine user posted a clip of a kid getting a simple math equation wrong, the ’Net had a field day with the little yute’s lack of arithmetic skills. On the bright side, the child’s unwanted 15 seconds of fame did yield the inspiration for some fire beats.

Beat Title: “Bish Whet?!”

All it took was a simple sarcastic question for singer Toni Romiti to become a Vine superstar and meme magnet damn near overnight for “Bish Whet?!” Almost as quickly, Internet beat makers starting forging tracks using the quote, including this techno-infused gem.

Beat Title: “In My Mom’s Car”

It doesn’t take much for something small to snowball on the ’Net. Case in point: the video of the British teen unconvincingly pretending to take her mum’s car, ending with her horror movie extra-looking mom dukes saying, “Get out me car.” That’s it. No jokes. No breasts. No obscenities. No one getting slapped. It became an instant classic with a number of remixes to boot including this one that samples Chamillionaire’s “Ridin’ Dirty.”

Beat Title: “Where They at Doe?”

T.I.’s squabble with Floyd Mayweather Jr. was one of the bigger stories of 2014. After rumors started to spread that the Kang had received an eye jammy at the hands of the boxing champ, Tip took to Instagram to prove the Internet chatter wrong. It didn’t take long before someone flipped the hilarious Vine into a Shmurda Dance-inducing remix.

Beat Title: “Eyebrows on Fleek”

“On fleek” became one of the most popular urban phrases by the end of 2014, thanks largely in part to a Vine video from Peaches Monroee confidently describing her recently done eyebrows. The teen’s popular video earned her ’Net notoriety and a number of remixes including this one that incorporates Tinashe’s “2 On.”

Beat Title: “A Potato Flew Around”

Frank Ocean’s “Think About You” lyrics seemed pretty straightforward. But when young Vine user PG Bree misheard one word from the song’s opening line—mistaking “tornado” for “potato”—it turned into the cutest thing since Cabbage Patch dolls. It also became fodder for producers like DJ Taj and DJ Flex who flipped the adorable moment into a techno-based instrumental.

Beat Title: “13-50=47”

We all have mental lapses sometimes, especially when put on the spot. But when one chick in South Florida pondered the question, how many stars are on the American flag, she threw all logic out the window and decided to freestyle. Her epic brain fart was later recaptured in this Nae Nae provoking remix.

Beat Title: “Do It for the Vine”

Over the last few years, the phrase “Do it for the Vine” has become a calling card for people about to make a damn fool out of themselves or bust out a ridiculous jig. But add an adorable young girl and trap drums to the equation and all is well.

Beat Title: “Ain't Nobody Got Time for That”

At this point, the story of fire-fleeing country bumpkin Sweet Brown is well documented. But have you peeped the remix of her harrowing tale (which may or may not have been ghost-produced by Kanye West and Paul McCartney)?

Beat Title: “The Bed Intruder Song”

Antoine Dodson’s explanation of an attempted rape at his home made him a viral sensation. The subsequent remix of his famed speech, which was released on iTunes, made him a real musician’s worst nightmare reaching platinum status and charting on Billboard.

Beat Title: “Yeet”

While the Yeet craze had plenty of ammunition, it was one kid’s custom dance routine that had the World Wide Web reposting and memeing like it was going out of style. Using the chants of the young performer’s crowd, Matt Witthus concocted this hard-hitting tune.

Beat Title: “No Ravioli”

Kids say the darndest things. But let’s be real: After a long day of playing, watching cartoons, and eating junk food what self-respecting unemployed child really wants ravioli out the can? Now, some of that high-class, handmade shit from one of those Italian spots in Manhattan, that’s the move. In the end, Chris P’s vulgar Mutombo finger wag provided the blueprint for several YouTube tracks.

Beat Title: “You Look Like a Mufukin Uhhhh”

One jonesing session amongst friends went viral in 2014 not because the one-liners were side-splitting, but, because one jokester couldn’t come up with a line and stopped mid-sentence. After several videos went up hilariously mocking the teen’s confusion, the beats followed.

Beat Title: “Mama I Love You”

While Donna Goudeau’s situation seemed dire, the Internet used her plea to reporters as the latest moment in Zero Chill history. It wasn’t long before the P.O.P. member’s moment in the lime light was turned into a bubbly remake.

Beat Title: “Kid on Crack”

There have to be 2.5 million videos on the 'Net of kids getting hit in the head with balls. But what made this video stand out was the awkward squeal that sounds like it came from a yet-to-be discovered animal deep in the South American rain forest. And the insinuation by the camera operator that the kid might be hitting that hard white.

Beat Title: “I Eat Pears”

Ricky Rozay’s revelation of his infatuation with pears did wonders for the fruit’s popularity. But before he could capitalize off his newfound love with a track of his own, there were already tracks using his interview clip hitting YouTube.

Beat Title: “Or Nah”

Vine funnyman Reggie Couz used the simple “or nah” quip and turned it into Internet gold via a clip about an angry father. Dreamstate Beats transformed the funny moment into an industry-ready instrumental.

Beat Title: “M.A.P.”

Kevin Gates would be proud. A Vine user’s bouncy admission of liking to indulge in the backyard buffet made its rounds on cyberspace and was eventually turned into a head-nodding track.

Beat Title: “Today I Got Time Cuz”

Whether the tough-talking, gang-repping white guy from one of 2014’s most viral clips is really 'bout that life is still up for debate, but he sure talks the talk. For his valiant efforts he got a remix in his honor, to go with Martin vs. Tommy “The Hitman” Hearns' ass whooping he probably received shortly after the video was shot.

Beat Title: “Pistol Grip”

While “pistol grip chin” became the vogue diss of 2014, it wasn’t until a white couple unexpectedly spewed the phrase on social media that it became really funny. Funny enough for a remix.

Beat Title: “Dead Giveaway”

Charles Ramsey went from nobody to town hero in a matter of minutes in the spring of 2013 when he rescued two women from the hands of a mad man who happened to be his neighbor. Once again, the Gregory Brothers took the liberty of making the newfound celeb a proper anthem.

Beat Title: “Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean-Jacques Wamutombo”

A clip of Hall of Fame center Dikembe Mutombo saying his entire name was kind of funny in itself, for some reason, but when one Vine user added Migos’ “Versace” to the equation it became a real lol moment.

Beat Title: “Girl Scout Cookies”

Two kids’ silly video about moving packs of Girl Scout cookies off the corner turned into a hit. The Masked Jerk Beats twisted the Somoa selling duo’s chant into a two-stepping dance track.

Beat Title: “Shots at Your Fitted”

Chiseled Vine user Bryan Silva’s tough-talking bathroom freestyle blew up quicker than you can say “gratata” making it easy bait for producers looking for a video clip to flip.

Beat Title: “Shovel Vine Club Remix”

You know shit has gotten deep when a dispute escalates to the point where a shovel gets involved in the equation. When this hilariously painful-to-watch, backyard brawl went viral, the beat down turned into a hit that could have the techno clubs going up any day of the week.

Beat Title: “Cinnamon Apple”

Pet names amongst couples are commonplace. But prideful beaus worldwide will think twice about calling their chick “cinnamon apple” after seeing probably the most public breakup of 2014. Of course, adding insult to injury we all got to relive the poor sap’s heartbreak though a remix. Get that arrow out your heart, bruh.

Beat Title: “The Sharkeisha Song”

As ass whoopings go, the epic fade passed out by Sharkeisha for the world to see was on some Ronda Rousy shit. The beat down was so jaw-dropping, it got its own soundtrack.

Beat Title: "Oh Hell Nah"

Couz’s “Oh Hell No” Vine was just another in his long list of fan favorites and ended up getting the beat treatment just like many others.

Beat Title: “I’m Here So I Won’t Get Fined”

Marshawn Lynch’s non-question answering antics during the 2014 NFL season were epic, seemingly making ESPN’s headlines on a weekly basis. Of course, several producers ran with the tailback’s hilarious code of silence.

Beat Title: “I’m Grown, I’m the Daddy”

Bad ass little kids rank pretty high on the list of things the web likes to have a hearty laugh over. This video of an over-aggressive toddler proclaiming his paternal status is the best in recent memory, and deservedly so, got its own instrumental.
