Revision as of 15:16, 16 May 2017

Dang Daniel is a 2016 viral video.[1] Daniel Lara (born April 4, 2001) and his friend, Joshua Holz, who are students at Kennebunk High School,[2] [3] reached their Internet fame after their video, an edited collection of Snapchat videos, went viral on social media platforms such as YouTube and facebook.[4] In 2016, Time magazine listed Lara as one of "The 30 Most Influential People on the Internet".[5]

The original video was retweeted more than 300,000 times, liked 400,000 times on Twitter and looped more than two million times on Vine.[6] The original video clip is a 30-second compilation of Lara striding around school, with Holz complimenting him by repeatedly saying "Damn Daniel!" and occasionally following the catchphrase with: "Back at it again with the white Vans."[7] In the video, Lara wore a navy blue hoodie, skinny chinos, a burgundy backpack and slip-on sneakers.[8] This led to Lara and Holz guest appearing on Ellen, soon after, where Lara received a life-time supply of Vans' shoes.[9][10] Lara donated the shoes to patients at Loma Linda University Children's Hospital in California.[11][12][13]

Tech Insider stated in an article that “It’s hard to explain why it’s so funny.”[14] As a result of the video's popularity, companies such as Clorox, Vans, Denny's and Axe used the phrase "Damn Daniel" as a part of their marketing campaigns.[15][16] Vans' profits peaked shortly after the video as well.[17] In addition, the video's rise in popularity created price inflation for "Damn, Daniel Vans," which have sold for upwards of $400,000.[18] The video has also been turned into a song by rappers Little, Teej, and LeBlanc.[19][20] According to Wired, the viral video lasted for 14 days before Josh Holz, the director of the short video, had his Twitter hacked.[21] Daniel and Josh were later featured in the video for the song "California Kids" by Weezer, which appears on the band's 10th album (and fourth self-titled album), Weezer. The meme was also turned into a house song by Australian electronic comedy duo Bombs Away, adding to its popularity.[22] Lara was also featured in YouTube Rewind 2016, seen at 2:10 wearing white vans in a white van.[23]
