Mobile GIF platform Tenor is out with the list of its top 5 gifts this year. The company's co-founder and CEO David McIntosh explains what they say about sentiment in 2017.
The top five GIFs of 2017 are the guy blinking, baby crying, Jonah Hill's "yay," Shaq laughing, and Obama's "Oh yeah." McIntosh says negative emotion searches went up 31 percent in 2017. Meanwhile, positive emotions decreased 18 percent.
"We can get a great sense of how people are actually thinking and feeling," says McIntosh. Though GIF searches were more negative overall, searches for "laughing" nearly doubled since 2017.

Actors Diane Kruger and Kiernan Shipka joined Cheddar News to talk about their new series remake of the 1994 movie "Swimming with Sharks," premiering exclusively on The Roku Channel on April 15 with a full season drop. The series about the seedier side of Hollywood production had its own shoot interrupted during COVID — but it was worth the wait, according to Shipka. "To see the show in its final form come to light and be received by people well and have people talk about it, it almost feels like a little bit of a fever dream," she said. Kruger also addressed the show's focus on the cutthroat nature of the film industry, noting "It is definitely not an easy job to be an assistant in Hollywood."
