Unlike some other videos of The Sims, I was never bored watching this video, but I don’t think it was anything exceptional. Still, I feel like I have to try to savor every moment! Here are my highlights:
- [0:00] Yet again, Dan’s starting the video off right with some cute alien noises.
- [1:05] This was a stretch, Phil.
D: Look at that. It’s just the two grey parents--
P: Two grey parents--
D: --a pink dog, and a--
P: --and a--
D: --an angsty alien teen.
P: --big D. He’s got bigger.
D: *grimaces* D for delete.- [1:59] Dan and Phil say that the thing that immediately happens after an older sibling moves out is the younger sibling taking over the older sibling’s bigger room. I was wondering if this applied to Dan and Phil’s lives, then Phil says he “bagsied” the bigger room when he was a child, implying that there was no need for him to change rooms when Martyn moved out.
- [2:55] Dil starts destroying one of the snowpals. This is Phil’s observation:
P: This is brutal! Straight in the balls!- [5:09] This back-and-forth perplexes me.
D: What does shoveling snow mean?
P: I don’t know.
D: Isn’t that, like, getting it out of your driveway?- [5:40] What are you implying, Dan?
P: I think that should be Dalien’s bed now.
D: A teenager with a single bed?
P: Yeah.
D: If you’re gonna be a teenager with a single bed, it better be called “The Eminence”--
P: It will be.
D: --have a five star rating, and look like a space pod.- [6:33] Dan rolls his eyes. I like it.
- [7:43] Interesting insight into Dan’s younger self:
P: Any spiderwebs is totally emo.
D: Yes, exact--So green spiderwebs.
P: Yes!
D: There we go. Yes!
P: Amazing!
D: That’s like, “I’m 14, and this is style!” Okay. No offense. I’m just talking about myself.- [9:41] Dan imitates Nuki in the most attractive way possible.
- [9:59] Sometimes I wonder if Dan actually still does this.
P: Oh, he’s glowing with blue.
D: Same, honestly. Wow.
P: He needs to do a face-down lie on the floor like you, Dan.- [10:15] “Choke us to death.” Right.
D: And oh, my God! Pause!
P: What?
D: People are gonna choke us to death.
P: Why?
D: How long has this video been? It’s been, like, several minutes so far. HIs mum sent us a frickin’ letter in the--I am so sorry we forgot about that. Right.- [10:59] Dan repositions himself in his chair and rubs shoulders with Phil in the process.
- [11:32] Dan and Phil both stick their tongues out. It’s very cute.
- [16:00] Dan and Phil both agree that there should be an alien of each color in their club.
- [16:09] Black hair and glasses...yep, looks like Phil!
D: Which of these three strange adult men looks the least creepy?
P: I think Derrick looks the friendliest.
D: He’s got gla--He looks like you!
P: I know! That’s why.
D: That’s literally you.- [16:35] Dan wants us all to know that Phil would love to be probed by an alien.
D: We have to all be aliens and WooHoo.
P: You can make a s--alien sex club?
D: Oh, it’s one of those clubs. You can make a Woo--And unlike grilled cheese, Phil would join that.- [17:28] Again, I can’t help but wonder if this applied to Dan and Phil’s real lives at some point.
D: We hate viewing art ‘cause that’s what my lame older brother does.- [18:34] Thank you, Dan! I wish my friends knew this cold, hard, objective fact.
D: Or the Discotheque Pan Europa.
P: Maybe.
D: No, you can’t have a conversation in a club.- [19:18] Dan and Phil read out some club handshake options. While they’re doing so, they also imitate some of them. It is excellent content.
- [22:00] Dalien and Derrick do a secret alien handshake. Afterward, Dan and Phil imitate a portion of it by touching fingers. It is, once again, excellent content.
- [22:44] Phil notices an option to “Scare With Probe,” and Dan is upset by this option. At [22:57], we get to see Dan and Phil’s reaction to “Scare With Probe” in action:
P: Oh!
D: Oh, my God! I just got whisked. Oh, d--Oh--Oh, my--Du--d--d--It’s a duck. Really frickin’ Sims?
P: I did not know that was a thing.
D: Is that was they did--Is that how Dil got pregnant?
P: Stuck--
D: Is that how Dalien got made?
P: Got the duck straight in there.
D: Frickin’--Wow, he got quacked in the crack.- [23:48] Life advice from Dan:
P: He’s going as an alien?
D: Look.
P: Is that an issue?
D: He’s living his truth. You cannot introduce yourself t--to people as somebody you’re not. You have to show them who you are--
P: Okay.
D: --and then if they love you, then that’s how it works.
P: Sure.- [24:33] Interesting trivia about Dan and Phil:
P: Would you have the power to read people’s minds if you could have it?
D: Um, no.
P: I think it’s very dangerous.
D: I--I don’t wanna know what kind of creepy crap you’re all imagining.- [28:13] Dan and Phil play with Drago:
P: I wonder if he’ll open his eyes.
D: If that happened, I would literally just poo on you right now.- [28:22] Drago opens his eyes. Dan is fully jumpscared. This moment was a wonderful early Christmas present.
- There is only one set of social media links this time, which is a relief. Individual merch links point to shop.danielhowell.com and amazingphilshop.com. I find this questionable while the combined shop is in operation, but I won’t complain.

You're being beamed up by aggressive aliens and they're plugging in the anal probe
"Oh, God. Okay. I say: *shrug* [...] I'd be like, 'I don't know how this works. Put a condom on that thing. *shrug*'"
Dan Howell, 5/10/18 Try new things..?
