Two internet icons collided at a festival over the weekend, and boy, are we here for it.
New photos captured Fish And Rice Cake Guy hanging out with Gurning Rave Guy, and it’s the weird viral fame mash-up we’ve all been waiting for.
Showing off his brand-spanking-new set of abs, Fish And Rice Cake Guy (otherwise known as Danny Andrews) flashed the camera a thumbs-up while cosying up to Gurning Rave Guy (real name Shaun Jackson), who was as on-brand as ever and looked as though he’d been double-dropping all weekend.

Danny posted two photos of their hangout on Instagram, and why they weren’t being swarmed by crowds of adoring fans is anyone’s guess.
Danny first rose to fame 15 years ago when he appeared on BBC Three documentary Baby Faced Bodybuilders, while Shaun entered the meme hall of fame after he was seen practically dislocating his jaw in a promo video for rave nightclub ‘Bounce by the ounce’ back in 2014.
It was Danny’s Baby Faced Bodybuilders appearance that earned him the nickname Fish And Rice Cake Guy.
Just 16 at the time, Danny was preparing for the Mr Cumbria bodybuilding competition and became an instant hit with viewers after revealing the diet he’d adopted in the run-up to the contest.
He said: "Eight o'clock in the morning I'll have fish and a rice cake. At 10 o'clock, I'll have fish. At 12 o'clock, I'll have fish and a rice cake. At two o'clock, I'll have fish. At four o'clock – just before I train – I'll have fish and a rice cake. I'll train, I'll have me fish. I'll come home, have some more fish, with a rice cake, and then have some more fish before I go to bed."
Earlier this month, Danny left fans flabbergasted with his gnarly body transformation, taking to Instagram to reveal that in just four months he’d got seriously shredded.
The avid gym-goer displayed his weight transformation from February to June by posing in front of a mirror and tensing his toned muscles.
Danny regularly keeps fans updated on his physique and workout routines, and told fans his recent transformation was down to 'six weeks of training hard and eating well'.
"Its [sic] first time in 8 years!! Had a blow out this weekend, so getting back to it, going to get even better," he said at the time.
Despite sharing the details of his efforts online, many viewers still jokingly put his success down to the wonders of fish and rice cakes, with one such comment reading: "The fish and a rice cake paid off."
