“Daaaaaaaaaamn, Daniel!” You’ve heard it everywhere. You’ve seen it on all of your social media platforms. You’ve heard it come up in your everyday life. You’ve heard it in your dreams, your nightmares.
“Deeeeeeeeehmm, Daniel!”
DeeeeEhhhHmmMMMmm, Daniel!”
“Back at it again with the white vaahahahans!”
I have two very important questions about this infectious meme. First of all, who is Daniel? Second of all why do we love Daniel so much? I did my research, a.k.a stalking. Here’s what I found.
His name is Daniel Lara (@daniel_laraa on Twitter and danlaraa on Snapchat) and is a student at Riverside High School in California. He is gorgeous, by the way, so you should follow him. "Hollywood Life" reports that he is a swimmer and supports Kanye for President. As you can tell from the video, Daniel has impeccable style and his friend Josh knows it.
Josh Holz (@josholzz on Twitter and Snapchat) is the friend who made and posted the video. In the video, he follows Daniel around, praising him on how good he looks and complimenting him on his clean, white vans. He is the ultimate friend because who wouldn’t want to be followed around by their own personal groupie who praises their every outfit? Everyone needs a supportive friend like Josh. Josh has the type of voice that will replay in your head all day, whether you like it or not.
People have even found new ways to get it stuck in your head. Check out this remix! I hope you get it stuck in your head!
I still haven't found the answer to my second question about why we love Daniel. It may be because he's cute. It may be because we want his clothes. It may be because we love Josh's support and friendship. It may be because we want Josh's voice stuck in our heads all day. I'll let you decide.
These memes will make your day.
Clorox is even chiming into the madness but my dream is for the Vans brand to take him up for a commercial. Vans will do this if they know what's good for them.
If you're wanting to be like Daniel, here's your starter pack. Don't forget the white vans.
Good luck! Maybe one day, you'll get internet famous like Daniel!
