1. “And I Oop Whatcha Say” by Jasmine Masters — 419.1 million views

Via Giphy

THE Jasmine Masters from Rupaul's Drag Race season seven has the year's most used GIF. There is no "what?" anymore. "Omg" is cancelled. There is only "and I oop." This is the way the internet has reacted to the many disorienting twists and turns of 2019, a year where the surprises come practically hourly and are often unpleasant. We're at the point where we're all collectively pausing our thoughts and sentences just to process whatever supremely shocking thing we've just seen. Here's to "and I oop-ing" on and on into the future, perhaps until the surprises stop becoming so surprising.
