The inexplicably popular Damn, Daniel meme that has been sweeping the Internet has finally made it to the Dallas Cowboys.



Cowboys kicker Dan Bailey, who is back at it with the white Nikes, starred in a spoof of the video released Friday.

Both are actually pretty funny

I don't see what's so funny. I just honestly don't get it.

Why is this famously funny?

It's the Kardashians effect. Famous for being famous. No talent or common sense needed.

Would've been better with a shot of Bailey nailing a long field goal with, "Damm Daniel, back at it again with the long ball"

I thought it was just me lol.

 

[BrassCowboy]

have to agree with sureletsrace, I don't get the hype (if there is any because this is first time seeing or hearing of it). Kinda stupid...

oh well, some people are amused too easily I guess. To each his own.

p.s. Chris in Arizona - yeah I know what you meant. agree

You mean these two guys aren't famous? Bullocks.

 

[KingintheNorth]

lol, nothing you just said makes any sense in context of this video.

It seems like many people think something is funny or entertaining just because it was simply put on video.

I'd be interested to know what you found humorous or entertaining about the video.

I'm old school, I like comedy to actually be funny.

Damn, TheCount.

 

[gimmesix]

Is it just me or does Bailey look kind of annoyed with it after the first couple of times?

 

[LowTech]

Yeah......I really find nothing funny there

I have a friend that I work with who is very handsome. We are both heterosexual males. I kind of poke fun at him for being cute. I cat call him sometimes at work and we all laugh. It's kind of like that. At least that's what I get from it. haha

What I find funny is that people think things are viral when they are not. To be viral, it has to spread from individual to individual. However, these days, the media gets a hold of something they see more than once and post it on their sites calling it "viral". That's not "going viral" but rather "being promoted". By their definition, every story they write is viral because you can find it on most news sites and via social media, so everyone hears about it.

I work in a garage and played sports my whole life. That type of humor is a daily occurrence in both of those worlds. I wouldn't go as far as putting my private parts in peoples faces like charles haley though. haha

You got it, Reality. Seemingly every other video posted on the internet these days is labeled with the "viral" buzzword, regardless of how frequently it's actually passed between different people/groups.

Whenever I see an article about a video that has been "going viral", it usually makes me cringe, and I just imagine the person writing the article is thinking "oh please God let this become a meme, I want to be a part of internet meme history!".

Regarding this particular video -- I don't know if this "Damn, Daniel" thing is actually widespread or not, but all I know is that I haven't seen it until now. Then again, I don't use Facebook anymore.

I'm a lifetime ball player but I definitely know your background.

Same .. I had not heard about it until I saw an article (on a news site) about a remix song made from it.
