he actually did talk about it in a liveshow from this summer. Don't ask me his exact phrasing, but he pretty much pretended to be salty, and then said something like "they both live in brighton so" etc. He didn't really get into it. Don't see a reason why he should honestly.. I don't think they have much more than a "business" relationship at this point?confetti-j wrote:Judging from all of their hangouts and double dates that they seem to have, I think they genuinely like each other as people. PJ really would't benefit a lot from Felix bc his youtube content( and fan base) is pretty different than PewDiePie's, and vice versa. Right now at least they seem to be doing quite well as buds and I hope it continues, but it would be interesting to hear Chris's opinion (not like he'll give it or anything, it would just be interesting)Philena wrote:Out of curiosity, what do you all think of the Peej/Pewds twitter exchange today?
I feel like they probably are genuine friends, but I can also see this as being exploitative. Anyone else want to discuss?
The Rest of the Foursome
This thread needs to come back to life because Chris has:
Watch these.
He did a 30 min liveshow today right before Phil and I am forever grateful to the lovely people who upload them because Chris didn't send out any notifs for it:
I've missed this weird and beautiful internet man and his biting sarcasm and insults so much. He’s sorry but not sorry it’s been so long since a younow show, we should be honoured he’s back (and I am).
2:40 "It’s always a bit awkward catching up with someone after so long isn’t it? You don’t really know what to talk about. How’s your dad? Right, yes, sorry I forgot. Oohh [awkward]."
(the Lag is Real)
4:50 He’s at his mum’s house at the moment “just for Xmas. It is January the 19th, so obviously a little.. bit more than Xmas. An extended break from… you know, just.. just everything, really.”
5:10 "I’ve been told by younow to remind everyone I’m live. I’m alive! A lot of people were asking if I was dead.
I do have other [things] going on. I’ve got a wife, Ive got my two baby girls now, 8 and 9. So I have got a lot of different.. you know. I’m a full-time care nurse, paperboy, and award-winning actor. So I’ve not always got time for younow, you know.”
[after long spiel about how us viewers should have homework or relatives to be speaking to, goals to be working toward rather than watch this]
7:00 "I do sometimes question why anybody would watch me on here. Which is why I feel like younow is the place that I should use to [give back to] the community *burps* give life advice and stuff."
8:10 (chat) Hello how are you I love you
"Thank you, that means a lot to me. Obviously it’s not real."
8:30 (talking about Playground) “I play a very sad man, where I had to use a different acting style for that, because usually my acting style is just pull a funny face” [elaborate explanation of how he had to learn to make his mouth go down to play sad]
"I think it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done. Well, it really shows my range, I think that’s what I mean. I think it shows I’m not just a sex icon. A lot of people put me in their short films because they know it’ll get views because they know that I’m attractive. I’m like danisnotonfire (pulls Dan grin face). That’s my danisnotonfire face (adds peace sign). And that’s why people put me in their short films because they know I look— I think looking this much like Cameron Dallas is obviously an advantage, especially on YT and in Hollywood.” "I get laid a lot."
12:30 (chat) Your old videos have aged well, they’re fun
“That’s a good thing. I always do worry about making videos topical. If I was to talk about, you know, dabbing, all of a sudden, two years later, people are like ‘what’s this junk’. That’s why I find it better to just not be involved in any of the memes. Apart from that LazyTown one because that one’s really good.”
14:00 More Playground talk (all sarcasm about feeling at home in a forest because he grew up on a farm)
15:00 “If you’re gonna be in the forest, you don’t need clothes on. There’s no one around. There isn’t like deers and []suit jackets and Dan & Phil t-shirts on.”
“I hope that answered your question and didn’t cause you to have more”
15:35 (responding to ‘I’ve missed you”) calls the people watching a 'stream of anonymous usernames' “but I have missed the text on the screen, I guess. Because it’s either younow or porn. Not porn, you know, content.”
16:55 (chat) Any last words for the US before Trump?
"Trump. *clicks tongue* Would you believe it. *continues sarcastic noises for a long time*
That’s what I think, I’ll say no more, I don’t want to get controversial."
(in response to chat question about his thoughts on corn)
19:15 watched the Witch (when will D&P finally talk about it) and "it’s quite good". Read theories from the internet that the corn they ate was poisoned, also read that the Salem Witch trials in hindsight were maybe just due to hallucinations from fungus on corn.
“Um, but yeah, I like corn.”
"I could do a brand deal with corn, couldn’t I.”
20:50 (chat) I’ve missed these liveshows
“That means a lot. I’ve missed them as well. Because for me it’s a real good way to be able to talk to myself alone in my room, and kind of say to people, ‘oh it’s a streaming website it’s just a website’ when really I’m just talking to myself. I am actually just talking to myself in my room. I’m just having one of those breakthrough epiphany moments where I realize I’m just talking to myself alone in my room. *sips coffee* I tell you this coffee tastes a bit nice because I’m trying a new coconut flavoured almond milk instead of regular milk. That was another epiphany I had, I suddenly realized ‘why am I drinking tit milk from a cow’. Why am I drinking the tit milk of a cow? So now I’m on almond milk. And I’m shitting a lot less. Feel like I’m oversharing."
[this is what I live for and oh how I’ve missed it, distrust of the audience and the social worth of an essentially one-sided conversation mixed in with cow tits and shitting. bless chris.]
23:20 (chat) Yours and Mitchell’s show was ace
"Thank you ‘crusty mcsponge’ *laughs* I like that that’s how peoples short films and projects are critiqued now. Not by the Guardian, not by the Sun newspaper, but by crusty mcsponge. I mean, it’s still- it means a lot to me. I’m just saying, times have changed. Things used to be reviewed by film critics, and now they’re reviewed by crusty mcsponges. Times are a-changing, and I think for the better. I like creating short films for sponges, and you can quote me on that."
26:20 “Don’t feel like you have to tell me you love me or anything. Creeps me the f out. I’m very appreciative of it all, thank you, but I just mean.. just don’t. Don’t do it! I want to earn your respect, I don’t need to be loved. I’m not a little adorable cat, I’m not like a little adorable kitten, I’m not Dean Dobbs, you know. I’m a big boy.” (does Dean's go-to pose):
30:15 “I’m still live, am I still live? Yeah, I’m still live. It’s a good job I didn’t get my cock out” *ends stream*
Not that he ever really needs a reason to be MIA, but he's been so off the grid lately I wonder if it's just because internet isn't great at his parents house, where he seems to have been since Xmas. He had Dan and memes on the mind, I'm sure he watched his video, noted as I am forever interested in his thoughts on him/Phil. Yup, 30 mins well spent, I hope he actually comes back again sometime.
Watch these.

Chris Chris Chris Chris Chris. Has anybody ever come up with any figures when this convo comes up in the main thread of how much anybody possibly earns off of younow? Because it appears that he's at his mum's house 'for a bit', and he hasn't mentioned any other moving plans, so getting back into daily younow must be primarily a financial thing. So would it be like 'pay serious bills' money, orrr 'pay for a week of Starbucks' money? None of my business but ahh the curiosity. He's a genius why won't somebody throw all the money at him already.
Anyway, here’s a week of liveshows:
Jan 20 - 21
Jan 23 - 25
Jan 25 - 27

Thank you so much fancybum!
I should try to catch more liveshows of his. I always enjoy his sarcastic rants so much. Whenever he uses his acting talent to really deliver a point and I get confused for a moment before realizing he's being ironic again (or is he??). Anyway I guess there is always some truth to what he says, and this is his way of dealing...
I hope he's doing well either way and does get some creative oportunities this year
What happened to Whipped? I really loved that concept.

Personalities are a hell of a thing aren’t they. The differences in how people approach discussions and the way they choose to express themselves. The difference between Dan's last liveshow and this one from Chris is like a slap to the face. I'm not criticizing, because an audience of like 20K or whatever vs a few hundred is obviously strikingly different (also the whole 'they are different people' thing. That too). But man. Chris fucking killed yesterday's liveshow, brought it back to life, and then killed it again. He talked about sooo many things with a refreshing lack of bitterness or self-consciousness and made it seem so easy to do. I mean, it should be an easy thing to do: to say what you think and explain why as simply as if you were commenting on the weather. And doing that while still being totally open to changing your mind when presented with more information or another perspective. He talked all things YT, pewdiepie, fan culture, even showed his Tinder. It was a 2 hour show, WORTH IT, but the meatier stuff starts around the second hour.
It's the best show he's done since coming back to younow (well in terms of being open and honest; every show is funny without fail) and I recommend watching it. Tone rarely translates properly with just text, just saying.
Mostly Youtube stuff (why he doesn't make videos, how it's changed, how he feels about it all):
Pewdiepie talk:
I feel a bit annoyed with myself that I want to just take all of his YT comments into the D&P thread and go nuts with it (and in a non-judgemental way, wouldn't that be shocking), but this isn't exactly new info with Chris, so there's not a whole lot to say about it as it applies to him. It just is what it is. For any tl;dr/tl;dw people: He's not bitter and sad about YT or any YTers, he's just an observer who'd rather be acting in other things. He's outgrown it being his only creative outlet. So there we go.

Thank you fancybum for the timestamps, what a wonderful ls that was!
I liked his discussion about pewdiepie and satire, i've seen some other comedians on youtube critical about how the jokes were delivered (and they got backalsh for it of course ).
I'm glad he started posting on youtube again.

i'm glad he's started posting on youtube again (though that vid made me kinda sad lol ngl). i hope he sticks with it and doesn't feel like it's too late. i rly believe he has potential to grow a lot more, i rly enjoy what we see of him through his vids.
Chris is a gem, I'm glad he's trying out youtube again (for like the 5th time), but mostly I just want him to succeed in whatever he enjoys. He just has a natural humor about him that makes me laugh and also want to give him a hug.
Also his cringe thumbnail is the funniest thing especially because we get to hear all about how he gets tricked by clickbait in his liveshows
Also in todays liveshow PJ "cyberbullied" him by sending screenshots of Chris's blowjob face - I know that they're friends its just good to see it happening still.

Haha yes Chris has returned! (That got autocorrected to 'Christ', lol.) I'm pumped. But I get quite uncomfortable watching him in this sort of mood because his self-depreciation is quite close to the edge and I worry about him. I hope he means it (this time) that he's coming back and giving it a go. Not just because he feels he needs to. But he IS extremely talented and funny and it's a shame to see him... give up on his dreams? It's sad that in his situation he seems to see YouTube as a more stable and reliable source of income, when it notoriously really isn't. I just want him to do well and be happy.

Slightly off-topic, my cousin saw me browsing for pictures of fetus Chris and just told me that he looks like a better-looking version of the taller guy from Mr. Meaty. For those who don't know, it's this guy:
The image has been forever burned in my memory.

PJ has (borrowed?) a puppy! Very cute one it is too.
Looks like it belongs his gf's parents.

PJ and his team are in LA for 3 weeks for one of his secret projects he's been teasing for the past few months. At first I thought it could be an Oscars Hotel sequel, but then I remembered how much publicity we got from PJ and Newform during the shooting. I don't think they'd keep a sequel so under wraps.
The secret, I think, has something to do with a high-powered collab with a big name production company or actor. Any other ideas?
