Tech Insider stated in an article that "It's hard to explain why it's so funny."[11] 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.[12][13] Vans' profits peaked shortly after the video as well.[14] In addition, the video's rise in popularity created price inflation for "Damn, Daniel Vans", which have received eBay bids for upwards of $400,000.[15] The video has also been turned into a song by rappers Little, Teej, and LeBlanc.[16][17] According to Wired, the viral video lasted for 14 days before Josh Holz, the creator of the short video, had his Twitter hacked.[18] Daniel and Josh were later featured in the video for the song "California Kids" by Weezer, which appears on the band's 10th album, the White Album. The meme was also turned into a house song by Australian electronic comedy duo Bombs Away, adding to its popularity.[19] Lara was also featured in YouTube Rewind 2016, seen at 2:10 wearing white Vans in a white van.[20]
