12 Reasons ‘Dunk Cam’ Is Vine’s Funniest Sports Trend
Basketball-obsessed teens have been doing it forever: Creeping up on unsuspecting friends during everyday life to throw down vicious imaginary dunks. But they haven’t always had social media to record their posterizing pranks for posterity’s sake.
That’s the genesis of a hilarious sports trend called “Dunk Cam” that’s sprung up on Vine and other social networks this summer. Its roots can likely be best traced to a GIF from a high school ambush that went viral in May, and it’s only picked up steam as of late. Hallways, locker rooms, doorways — no place is safe.
But there’s a problem. Until now, Dunk Cam videos have emerged clip by clip, ephemeral mini-doses of basketball comedy that bubble up then fade into the digital ether. So, in the interest of public service and the historical record, we’ve collected 13 of our favorite Dunk Cam videos from Vine right here. Check them out for yourself below (but be advised—some of the language is NSFW), then make your own additions in the comments.
