Yes. This is a rant. So I do say my opinion. If you have a problem with it, drink some iced-tea and chill the fluck out, because it's the internet fam. And yes, I do write a lot, so before typing any smart "no need to get so mad dude relax" or "way to write a book about it" yes yes, you're very clever. You're so witty and sharp, you're the light of my life, thank you. Now go fuck yourself.
So Damn Daniel, right? Where to start. When I first heard about Damn Daniel, I was curious, right? I'd heard people at uni talk about it, I'd heard it on the radio, I even saw it on the EllenShow briefly, so I'm thinking, ahh, this should be pretty good. Maybe it might be as good as that John Cena prank call from last year.
Boy. I was utterly, disgracefully, disgustingly and in a million other ways disappointed. What is this? It is literally some speech impaired guy pointing at a guy's shoes and saying "Damn, Daniel". Let me tell you 6 reasons why this is utterly stupid.
6 - There is less than zero comedic value in this video. I know that comedy is mostly subjective, but there is less than zero reason why anyone should find this funny. If I may quote talented YouTuber IHE: "This video is what it would be like if I pointed at a potted plant and said "Duurrr plant! Duuurrr plant!"
5 - Who is this Daniel, and why should anyone give a fuck? This snob nosed looking douchebag looks less interesting than if I filmed my lazy ass cat sleeping, at least she has personality.
4 - The bandwagon. Possibly the worst reason about "Damn, Daniel" is that people actually find it funny. Or... Do they? Do people find it funny? Or are they just mocking it like me? Fuck... Maybe I just take things so seriously, hahaha.
3 - This guys voice. Is so. Fucking annoying. Is this what is supposed to be the funny part? Is it? because I thought making stupid funny noises for comedy is what deadbeats like Adam Sandler and Jim Carrey do, and to be real, neither of them have had any good movies in a long fucking time.
2 - The context. What is the context? Who the fuck knows this shit? Are white vans supposed to be iconic to something worthwhile of filming several videos of the same kind, are white vans the new religion or something? I don't fucking get it fam, I just don't.
1 - Nobody can even explain why it's funny. Not even the own wikia page for Damn Daniel and explain why it's funny. Let me copy and paste it.
"Damn Daniel, is a reference to a Twitter video montage, featuring a voice over of another boy, named Daniel, is dressed well on a series of different occasions. The narrator focuses on Daniel's shoes."
Just reading this is boring.
Next time I hear "Damn Daniel" I'm going to kill someone.
What do you think of Damn Daniel? Do you like it? Do you hate it? Explain your reasons. Discuss this Damn Daniel shit.

I have no idea why this is funny or why people at school like it so much. So much so that they're gonna use it on you irrespective of whether your name is even Daniel or not.
And yeah, his voice is fucking annoying and if I were Daniel I'd punch him right in the face..
In fact I actually feel bad for Daniel, he was unwillingly forced into memehood..

Anyone who thinks there needs to be a reason in particular that they can write down to explain why something is funny is obviously the person with no sense of humour.

Yes, because basic logic. I also like to make up rules about comedy on the spot. Did you know that if you like Jack Russel Terriers, you're 15% more likely to be a successful stand-up comedian?

You're right, I can't believe I didn't realise that. Omg it all makes sense now xD
I'm going to make all my friends laugh by changing my clothes tomorrow :3

Watched 15 seconds of that, already got annoyed. Out of all the memes I've ever seen, this one is probably the worst. It's not even remotely funny. I could imagine a 12 year old kid laughing at this at the most.
The elegant undertones of the narrative highlight the materialistic nature of Daniel, his propensity to white vans, it's a deconstruction of the modern worlds mentality and values, an artistic, short and succinct self criticism of youth. It's done so in a sweetly ironic and rustic way.
Sooooo faken funny amirite XD
I have no idea what I'm taking about. I haven't even seem the video, and I won't touch it even though you directly linked the video into your post.

That supposed to be funny? It's really just annoying... The only thing funny about this is that it's supposed to be funny... I laughed a bit when I read that.

I haven't even heard about this meme until recently. I don't find it funny but I don't really have a problem with it since it's not in my face all the time
My friend has used "Daaaamn, X! Back at it again with the Y..." as a joke like maybe twice since it went viral and it got a chuckle out of me so idk. Possibly because I only saw the video itself once or twice?? It's entirely the dumb exaggerated voice though, honestly.
p.s: The video itself did absolutely nothing for me and I still think it's mind-numbingly stupid, but when applied to other stuff it's meme-tier, clearly.
