Sure, we all have our favorite GIFs of 2014. (In fact, you'll be able to see Giphy's favorite GIFs of 2014 tomorrow!) But you can't argue with cold, hard facts. That's why Team Giphy ran the numbers and collected the 25 most popular GIFs of this past year.
Some GIFs need explanation, some speak for themselves. What did we learn? Well, Giphy users love Emma Watson, pizza, and One Direction. They also love bacon, ragging on Adam Levine, and...more Emma Watson. Never change, you guys. Never change.
