And now for my own recollections and opinions! I'm just listing the parts of the show where I have something to say, so this isn't meant to be comprehensive. I went to the Rosemont show before this one, and I have to say that I enjoyed this one
way more. As you can see from the highlights above, this show was pretty spicy. I thought the Rosemont show was pretty mild, and I was honestly a little underwhelmed. I'm glad I had the opportunity to go to this show to change my mind!
Intro Banter
Part of the intro banter was about the weather. It was rainy and gray, and they said it reminded them of home. They blamed the weather on Dan's soul.
They said they asked Siri how to say St. Louis, and she said "San Loo-ee." (They were saying it correctly throughout the intro bants and the rest of the show, by my recollection.)
They also talked about how cool the theatre was. It had a sort of Arabian theme, which Dan said made them think of Aladdin. Dan sang the line "a whole new world" in his falsetto as Jasmine. Phil said something like no one wanted to see that and that they should move on.
Truth Bombs
Dan's Question: What job would they have if YouTube didn’t exist?
Dan said he picked the winner (tootsie roll factory winner) because it was so specific.
Phil's Question: What imaginary sport would they get a medal in?
Dan made a joke about how Phil doesn't do sports.
When the winner (speed hamster breeding) was read, Phil acted out hamsters jumping over obstacles with his hands, saying somehow this was involved. Dan imitated him incredulously (including banging his hands together to indicate sex, which Phil hadn't done), but he said that Phil was the expert.
Joint Dan and Phil Question: If they released a fragrance what would it be called?
The first answer was Eua de Dil (melons and apples). The second answer was "Salty Tears." Dan made a joke about just having to squeeze their faces into a bottle. The third answer was "Shook No. 5," which Phil read as "Shook No. 9." As noted in other posts, this was one of many times that Phil had trouble reading that night. Twice during the show Dan brought up Phil's reading issues out of the blue and made a joke about it. I thought it was really funny!
Simulator
Much to my chagrin, the audience chose the endings where Phil goes to hell and Dan dies.
Survey
What’s your favourite video series?
For the best series, it was basically a five-way tie, but DanAndPhilCRAFTS won.
As you can see in the video in the post above, Dan said he was judging all of us for DanAndPhilCRAFTS winning, and then he called out someone who was filming the show and pointed at them. Where I was sitting, there were audible gasps, and I thought to myself, "Damn[, Daniel]!"
What should Dan and Phil give the people?
More people said Dan and Phil should give the people what they wanted, which was disappointing to me.
Who's on the wheel?
Dan was on the wheel. The slingshot shot missed the wheel entirely, so Phil took a second shot and hit the wheel but missed Dan. The shot from the bow and arrow hit Dan on his leg near his crotch. Dan made a joke about them maybe not being friends anymore if the shot had hit him six inches to the left. The shot from the gun hit the wheel but missed Dan. After he got off the wheel, Dan made a joke about how he almost lost his penis.
Wholesome Howell and X-Rated Lester
Dan had to say why burning down an orphanage would be a good thing. He went with something like it would be a good thing if all the babies would've turned out to be bad people. The whole time he was talking, Phil looked horrified, and he kept trying to interrupt, saying "No!" While Dan was talking, I kept thinking, "I can't believe he's actually saying this!"
Friendship Test
Dan, Phil, or a Rat
For one of the photos, it was zoomed in on a really light portion of the image. They said that it was probably too light to be Phil, but then it turned out to be Phil's forehead in some bright sunlight. Something was said about Phil needing vitamin D. Dan sort of giggled to himself and said that he had decided not to make a joke about this being the D Phil craves.
Dan and Phil Dilemmas
Phil's Dilemma: Dan has to perform the next show naked unless Phil gives Dan clothes to wear while Phil had to wear the cheese costumer.
Phil agreed to wear the cheese costume because he said the other option is illegal.
Dan's Dilemma: Kinky kidnappers took Phil, but Dan had to tweet his browsing history.
Dan started off by saying that they needed to establish how kinky these kidnappers were.
Phil said he didn't want his feet to be tickled.
Dan said releasing his browsing history would ruin his life, so he refused to save Phil.
Dan lost the friendship test and was shocked. The overall count of who won the friendship tests at each show was then tied. Dan said this was exciting for Phil because he'd been trailing for a long time.
Grand Finale
I loved Phil's diss track, but in no way does it compare to Dan playing the piano and them singing a duet. I love touchy-feely things most, and that song is perfect. This was by far my favorite part of both shows I saw, and I want them to post a music video, lol.
