How does something become popular on the internet? Is it because it's witty, memerable and overall FUNNY? No....Not at all. The latest internet memes have been utter garbage, and I think I know why. Ever since last year, these jokes have been following the same formula: Stupid Voice+Randomness(not the good kind)=Popular Joke. For instance, one trend early in this year is
"Damn Daniel". Essentially, the narrator comments on the stylishness of another teenage manchild, Daniel. Several short video clips of this saying, "Damn, Daniel, back at it again with the white Vans", are compiled into a video that currently has over 12 million views on YouTube. Daniel and his idiot cameraman have even been featured on "Ellen". So what makes this meme so "funny", you ask? The cameraman is making a stupid voice while being completely random and calling out his friend on his shoes. So why is this what was trending on social media when there's quite probably jokes out there that would blow your socks off? Because in the words of Mr. Goldstein, people are stupid.
