Earlier this week the world was rocked by the emergence of a new meme and soon enough we were all saying, ‘Damn, Daniel’.
The original Snapchat video of of a guy called Josh Holz complimenting his friend Daniel Lara’s white Vans has now been viewed over 45 million times, and catapulted the boys to fame.
They’ve even appeared on Ellen where Daniel was given a lifetime supply of Vans, so he can impress the world for the rest of his days.
However, the new ‘Damn Daniel’ remix – at the top of the article – may be a step too far, and some people on the internet seem to think Daniel’s lost his damn.
How is damn daniel funny? Not feeling it -_-

If the "damn Daniel" meme is any indication where memes are going to in 2016… Then I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

Of course like all things on the web, people have to go and spoil the fun. Only yesterday police stormed Josh’s home after a prank caller told 911 dispatchers he had shot his mother.
Dick move guys…
More of a concept than a journalist, Tom Percival was forged in the bowels of Salford University from which he emerged grasping a Masters in journalism.
Since then his rise has been described by himself as ‘meteoric’ rising to the esteemed rank of Social Editor at UNILAD as well as working at the BBC, Manchester Evening News, and ITV.
He credits his success to three core techniques, name repetition, personality mirroring, and never breaking off a handshake.
