It’s that time of year again, everyone: The time when we are introduced to an internet meme that we all love for about a week. It’s funny. We watch it between 30 and 90 times, and then the thought of seeing that meme again makes us want to throw up, die and cry all at once.

This season it’s“Damn Daniel,” a meme video that features a well-dressed teenager named Daniel’s very kind, supportive and possibly helium-filled friend telling him how good he looks in his white Vans.  Check out the original here.

Before the moment runs into the darkest corners of Vine or Youtube, let’s take a look at people who put their own twists on the “Damn Daniel” video.

1. “Dayum Daniel”

This one is for the trap-heads out there, something that you could easily imagine A$AP Ferg or Bryson Tiller rapping or singing over. Where it lacks in length, it exceeds in being a sick beat.

3. “Damn Daniel Remix”-

This remix video is in the style of a DIY video where the creator, on camera, literally cuts up and remixes Daniel and his friend named…actually, does anyone know his friends name? I feel like he isn’t getting enough credit in all of this.

4. “Damn Daniel Official Song (Stussy Man & White Vans)”
Video from RogerThat/YouTube

So, after watching and listening to these videos well over 30 times, I’m coming to the conclusion that there may be a bit of homo-erotic tension between Daniel and his friend.  I mean, maybe things have changed since I was in high school. Maybe I’m just getting old (I did have to look up what “stussy” means). Anyway, here is another banger courtesy of Daniel, his bro and RogerThat.
