If you knew what the Internet was two years ago, you'll probably remember Daft Hands, the video in which nothing but ten fingers kept you glued to the screen as the two hands provided a brilliantly dexterous interpretation of Daft Punk's 'Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.'
As it turns out, a little mini-meme surfaced in response. 'Daft Bodies' panned out from just the hands to incorporate YouTube users' entire, scantily-clad bodies into the mix, making 'Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger' weirder, dirtier, fleshier, and nakeder.
Here are our top 7 faves:

I saw the original daft hands then deft bodies when they were first posted.. the other night i remembered them, looked them up, then my boyfriend and I spent over an hour looking up all the copy-cats posted.. Yes it's riduculous, but we were entertained for a bit..

I dont get it but maybe thats the point. I thought we are moving passed the "W" and the "N"
word. So they are white! and yes we know as a rule white people cant dance. But lets say that
a black person got up and for some strange reason
decided to do the same stupid dance. If a white
person posted a comment and said," this dance is
stupid,black people sh*t." what then. TWO WAY
STREET PEOPLE, OR SHUT UP ALL TOGETHER!!!

I wasted 30 seconds of my time for this? And still, just to make this comment. How ambarassing.

This was awesome. Everyone and their awful comments needs to just be quiet. The words on their bodies are lyrics to the song and it is not an actual dance. It is meant to be silly and a challenge to themselves to see who can keep up with the song. Go ahead..I dare you to try and make a video. I'm pretty sure you will fail. So to everyone who had to guts to post a video...You are all awesome!!!! :o)

It's neat and kinda cool. Keeping with the beat with that great number of different moves has to be an achievment in itself; I thought they might be looking at cue cards or something to keep them together. The girls are cute and really look good doing it; and they have a neat little interaction that keeps you with them. The words on their bodies caused a little concern at first............I was afraid they might be permanent tatoos...........but temporary marking is great. Kinda flurty and fun. 8

you people are pretty stupid; you can't even see that it's for entertainment- not to show off their dance skills.. it's really sad that you guys are really that dumb. Just shut up and watch it for what it is, a silly dance that's probably just a fun thing to do with a friend, and a 'workout'. get a life. ps. the second video of the guys was fun to watch. :) good job.
