Here are the top 3 alternatives to 9GAG.com specifically for video content, keeping in mind the humor, memes, and short-form video style 9GAG is known for:
1. iFunny
iFunny is arguably the closest direct competitor to 9GAG in terms of niche. It is almost exclusively focused on short video loops (similar to Vines/TikToks) and image macros presented in a vertical scrolling feed.
- Why its a good alternative: The community and content style are nearly identical to 9GAGs video section. It relies heavily on niche internet humor, "edgy" memes, and trending audio.
- Platform: Available on Web, iOS, and Android.
2. Bilibili (particularly the "Anime, Comics & Games" section)
While Bilibili is a massive Chinese video platform, its culture is heavily influenced by "Z-generation" internet humor, memes, and fan edits that often appeal to the same crowd that enjoys 9GAG. It is the go-to place for "bullet comments" (live scrolling comments) that make watching videos feel like a shared experience.
- Why its a good alternative: If you enjoy the remix culture, gaming highlights, and anime-related memes found on 9GAG, Bilibili has a vast library of user-generated content that fits that vibe, though it is less focused on stockpiled reposts and more on original creator content.
- Platform: Available on Web, iOS, and Android.
3. YouTube (Specifically "Shorts" and Niche Compilation Channels)
YouTube remains the largest video repository in the world. While it isn not structured like a traditional meme aggregator, the YouTube Shorts vertical feed has become a direct competitor to TikTok and Reels. Furthermore, there are thousands of channels dedicated purely to "9GAG-style" compilations (e.g., "Memes," "Try Not to Laugh," "Gaming Funny Moments").
- Why its a good alternative: You can find the exact same viral videos that appear on 9GAG often days earlier on YouTube via reaction channels or compilation channels. The algorithm is very good at feeding you short, humorous videos if you engage with them.
- Platform: Available on Web, iOS, Android, and Smart TVs.
Bonus: Reddit (r/funny, r/videos, r/gifs)
If you want the raw source material for 9GAG, Reddit is it. 9GAG historically aggregates content from Reddit.
- Why its a good alternative: You can subscribe to specific subreddits dedicated to video content
like r/ContagiousLaughter, r/Whatcouldgowrong, or r/Nextfuckinglevel to get a constant stream
- of high-quality video content without the "9GAG watermark."
