Obviously.

Nothing should surprise you anymore. In a year where life gets more and more surreal every day, the transition from viral sensation to club celebrity guest actually seems to make perfect sense.

Ferdi, star of the (let's be fair, absolutely hilarious) Why You Comin' Fast video, in which he gets clattered by a cyclist and donks his noggin on the inside of a car's wheel arch, has made a rapid ascension to (sort of) celebrity-status.

There are t-shirts, parodies, remixes, and the man himself is now a fully-fledged influencer after creating an Instagram account which has already reached over 450,000 followers. The final stage of this journey is now complete - catch Ferdi at Shooshh in Brighton December 6th.

The video (above) is actually pretty old by meme standards, but enjoyed a resurgence recently when Ferdi was tracked down by the GRM Daily crew.

The next logical step, obviously, is turning up at nightclubs, firing off your signature catchphrase a couple of times, taking a thousand identical selfies and then sauntering home knowing you've just made the easiest money you'll ever make.

Is this the millennial version of the American Dream? Is this why that cyclist was coming fast? Is there a reason to all this?

Probably not. Catch Ferdi at Shooshh December 6th.
