Damn Nigga

There seems to be some confusion over what is and isn’t funny when it comes to the Damn Nigga style of photos. In hopes of making things clearer for everyone, this friendly guide will lay down some basic ground rules. Follow these rules and you’ll be on your way to hilarious success.

Basketball: Alright, so you’ve found a photo of a big black guy dunking the basketball. This is a good starting point for many new Damn Nigga creators. We’ll move on to more advanced Damn Nigga images in a minute. The first thing that should be considered while viewing the image of someone dunking the basketball is reactions.

Does the dunker have a look of intensity on his face? If his face is bland and lacking strong emotion, it may be time to move onto better pictures. What about those guarding him? Are they standing around, or full of animation? If their faces convey a look of shock, but that’s the extent of the image, it’s probably best to throw this picture out. Remember, the team just got dunked on by some big, black guy. You’d be shocked too. The idea with these images is originality and surprise. Even images where the dunker has his crotch right in the face of the dunkee aren’t that rare. You must really think outside the box for this genre.

Parties: For the more advanced Damn Nigga creators, a step outside of the limitations of basketball is in order. Parties are a good next step because you have A) large numbers of people together, and B) alcohol, which makes people dumb. The first thing you must remember while making a good party Damn Nigga is that it DOES NOT have to involve black people. If you keep yourself to those limitations, then you won’t get the best outcomes possible (note: For basketball, it must be black people because white people can only shoot the three).

What at a party makes good Damn Nigga material you might wonder. Gratuitous vomiting doesn’t automatically warrant humor, but it sometimes doesn’t hurt. Everyone gets a good laugh out of the person who’s partied too hard and made a spectacle of themselves, and the Damn Nigga realm is no exception.

What if you don’t want to do vomiting Damn Niggas? For those of you that don’t step away from the computers, have no fear. Parties are excellent sources for social insecurities off all types. Remember in Seinfeld when Elaine was a horrible dancer and it was so hilarious? She’s not the only horrible dancer out there. And they think they’re photogenic. Work with this. Dancing not your style? Then let’s focus on the ugly guy who’s inebriated and think he can get with the hot girl. She’s a slut, but not that slutty. Parties are a veritable treasure trove of idiocy, and you have plenty of opportunity to find that one of a kind picture that will make you a Damn Nigga phenom. If you’ve mastered the party Damn Nigga, then you can do most anything.

Editing: So you’ve found that one-of-a-kind, original Damn Nigga image. Congrats on all your hard work. Now we come to tagging the image. There are some requirements that you need here, so don’t go running blindly into editing.

The number one rule while editing a damn nigga is cleanliness. No one likes to see a messy damn nigga scrawled with a pen tool. You can hardly even make out the words. Does that say Damn Nigga? Or maybe Dawn Ninja? If you don’t take the time to make things look good, your sloppiness loses your audience. That being said, always make sure you use photoshop. The letters are clean, clear, and people will be much more appreciative of the work you put in.

Now what else should we include in this image? Often, you’ll see people use glaring circles and red lines to point out the reactions and what they’re reacting towards. This is a huge faux pas! Remember, if your image can’t speak for itself, then it just isn’t good enough. A proper Damn Nigga won’t require any extra work. It may be hard to find the diamond in the rough, but all your hard efforts are worth the reward.

Good luck. If you’ve followed these steps closely, it will have a positive outcome and you should gone down in history as one of the greatest Damn Nigga creators ever.
