That's a lucky era of memes that will likely survive for awhile. Finding old stuff from albinoblacksheep or the like isn't too hard.
I'm sad about all the YoutubeHaiku bullshit that didn't survive long because of copywrite strikes and all. I look at old saved playlists and it's all deleted stuff.
In high school the class that graduated before me took a class picture, and all the jocks lined up in the front with their uniforms on. Then, when they took the "crazy" picture they pulled off their uniforms and had "DEEZ NUTZ" written on their shirts. They lied and said it was an inside joke, and when the faculty got all the pictures they realized what they did. So they had the entire yearbook committee draw Zorro capes and masks on them, and attempt to change the shirts to say "ZORRO" for some reason.
Lots of young folks with time to dedicate to surfing were at the right age where lolrandom was peak humor. They were ripe to receive the shit posts of prodigious animators congregating on Newgrounds and Ebaums etc
I never understood the Damn Daniel meme. Like was it ever actually a meme, or is it a meme that it was a meme at all? Cuz I never actually hard anyone actually say that, aside from the occasional youtube poop video.
It was just a viral video series, at the time. I think they were popular on Vine. I definitely have heard it used a couple of times in real life, but mostly just when somebody got some new shoes or something.
I try to stay open minded but geez, 'gyatt' really bugs me. It's just a re-phoneticized spelling of half the phrase 'got damn', telephone-gamed into a noun somehow.
I can enjoy or at least accept everything else but please. Stop talking about gyatt.
Isn't it a UK slang? It was fine until the sidemen mentioned it in a video and it led to this brainrot. And the Turkish velly dancing guy unintentionally made skibidy famous.
There's a company near me with a product called "Damn, Daniel" and I refuse to buy it, look at it, recommend it, or discuss it with anything less than disdain.
