Here are my highlights:

• The first thing I noticed was that Dan and Phil have some absolutely beautiful faces in the thumbnail. Dan looks overjoyed, and Phil looks somewhat deranged.
• The second thing I noticed was that the video was under ten minutes long! That must have made capita£ester die a little inside.
• [1:02] Phil on what’s going to happen in this video:

  P: We’re getting naked.

• [1:27] Rather than in a teeny-tiny inset, we get to see them in a snazzy split screen for this game. I like it!
• [1:40] Phil is just horny on main. There is no other explanation.

  D: Player one--
  P: A and Z.
  D: --you controls [sic] the left--
  P: Azz.
  D: --with A and Z.
  P: I’m holding onto my azz.
  D: I am controlling it with K and M--
  P: Yeah.
  D: --which is what I’m going to do if you don’t stop talking.
  P: You’re holding onto your kum.
  D: You ruined it.

• [2:58] Dan does an epic dab.
• [3:15] Dan is nearing his breaking point.

  P: Watch time? I don’t know her! Right, second try...
  D: You embarrass me.

• [3:21] Phil continues to push the limits.

  P: I’ve got my fingers ready. They’re primed--
  D: What did we learn from that?
  P: --They’re pumped. What it means is…
  D: *tries to cover Phil’s mouth with his hand*

• [3:58] Phil has even more interesting things to say.

  D: And you will not sully the good name of Pong by pulling any all-or-nothing shenanigans.
  P: Pong-or-nothing!
  D: ‘Cuz there ain’t no way this could be an all-or-nothing. It’s just one game.
  P: I’ll sully you!

• [4:54] Phil cannot be stopped in this video.

  P: Wait, I can hear something bleeping from the past. It said, “Bleep. Boo-blee-bum,” which translated--it wasn’t me--”All-or-nothing.”
  D: Oh. *laughs* What was communicating?
  P: Pong.
  D: Right.
  P: The creator or Pong.
  D: Why does the creator of Pong sound like an alien?
  P: Because he was.

• [5:28] Dan and Phil engage in a “manly” handshake.
• [6:27] Bitey Phil returns.
• [6:37] Dan’s talking about endings again.

  D: I feel like, in many ways, this should’ve been the last video on this channel.
  P: No. It--
  D: Because it’s the first video game. Because it’s a Dan versus Phil. Because I won the Dan versus Phil. I mean, there’s several things here that make in support of--

• [7:24] Phil hits Dan in the face. Twice.
• What is up with these merch links? Once again, they have changed from the last video. Dan’s is listed as shop.danielhowell.com, and Phil’s is listed as danandphilshop.com.
