Dan & Phil Part 75: @philsthiccbooty

[Ablissa]

First of all, bless those rat emojis.

Second, what an...interesting like from Dan. It made me laugh. I'm loving them in 2018 so damn much.

I love that Dan likes this on twitter while people on tumblr are talking about how Lauren might be Dan's girlfriend.

Please.

Are they...? Noooo... I'm glad I haven't seen that on my dash. Honestly, things like that are equal parts amusing and exasperating to me.

Anyway, for more important content, I love the new emojis!!
Rats are such sweet pets and we stan the two sweetest of all.

I’m so confused by that tweet and I feel dumb. A play on words of faggot seems like a cruel thing to call a person. Everyone else thinks it’s funny though. I don’t get the joke help me. Is it just a play on words of faggot?

I think it's dark humor. You could go as far as saying that it's a word play on fatigue (tiredness) since it's about breakfast but I am pretty sure it's not.
The kind of thing that you find funny but also problematic. Like reddit's ImGoingToHellForThis.

For me, it's the combination of everything that makes it funny. First, it's a reply to Dan's tweet, a word play on hoe which can also be considered cruel, but since he referred to himself, it's fine. Then it's the parody account itself. Great concept, very clever, and very in-character as the French Dan. And because it rhymes with baguette which.. wow.

[knq]

@LtrllySusan @obvsly Thank you both for explaining. I’m getting that it just doesn’t line up with my sense of humor and I haven’t missed anything huge, like that it’s a song lyric or faguetté is some fancy type of coffee I’ve never heard of, which is what I wanted to know.

As this is all pure speculation, i would assume that what is holding him back, firstly, is that he would have to figure out how open he would want to be about this, how much he would address things that he has said in the past, but also how this would change his YouTube branding. With that I mean that he would not only "come out" to the phandom, but this would also reach other youtubers and the media, etc, and he might not want to draw more attention to this specific aspect.

This is a pretty good point, I think. Officially coming out would also make it obvious to casual watchers who might not have caught on yet since they don't watch every video, might not follow him on Twitter and so on. And it would affect his branding, I agree. I have a feeling Dan doesn't want to be "that lgbtq youtuber" like Tyler Oakley is for instance but peoples' perception of him would change and he might not want that. Also we still live in a homophobic and biphobic society. It's gotten a lot better but we're not there yet and coming out to the whole entire world is a big step to take. It would attract homophobes on social media and probably irl too and if he's scared of that, especially after what happened in 2012, I get that. It would probably also fire up new speculations about his and Phil's relationship status and if they're together, that's another thing they apparently don't want out in the open at the moment.

Or maybe he just doesn't want a big coming out. Coming out is not important to all lgbtq people, our happiness doesn't always depend on it. Dan has spoken about living his truth but that doesn't mean sharing his truth with the whole world, right? I personally think he is done hiding but that doesn't have to affect what he chooses to put online. We don't really know what he does in private, if his real life friends and family know, etc. I think that would be way more important to most people than telling their internet fanbase.

Baguette joke: Eh, I don’t think it‘s funny but I have no idea who runs that account. If it’s a straight person throwing around homophobic slurs, can they not? But maybe they’re not, no idea. But I’m convinced Dan is a mlm so I think it’s okay he liked it. That’s how reclaiming works after all, you take a slur that is meant to hurt you and you use it proudly or make fun of it. So I’m on the fence about the original tweet but I can’t say I blame Dan for liking it.

I was so sad when the "French Élon Musque" account (which I'm assuming this is based on) rebranded to something completely different, but this Dan parody account is even better.

[Ataraxia25]

i have nothing to say about dan’s tweet or his like because i’m still blocked on this

no but really, i‘m glad dan chose this picture, actually it has been my screensaver since he posted it

[ratlad]

THE RAT SMILIES,,, THANK U ....
LOOK AT THIS ONE
THERE ARE TEARS IN MY EYES

faguette tweet– lol
i understand why people might not like it but it's just a reclaimed thing for me, imo it's fine as long as it's not used in a dehumanizing way. (but it's valid to disagree nd i completely
understand!!)
i like the not-so-het likes of 2018!

Cornelia just posted a picture from Hong Kong airport, so it seems like she (and maybe Martyn?) is joining the next leg of the tour.

Lol. I haven’t seen that on Tumblr. Idk I think she’s a member of a different Room Service Club if you know what I mean (No I’m not actually implying anything about her sexuality/relationships, I’m just trying to be funny and probably failing because it needs background info: Yesterday she posted a story on Instagram that it was the final meeting of the ‘ii room service club’ it was a photo of four breakfasts, probs the merch team. Just saying, Dan and Phil have their own room service club and it’s just them).

i had the reference and if it makes you feel better i found that hilarious

Thanks *high five* Um, since you are from France dare I ask what you think of the French Daniel Howellé Twitter account? I’m rolling my eyes at all the ‘hon hon’-ing, but these ones made me laugh:

I was looking to make a rat joke with a nice ratty D&P meme but got sidetracked anyway here's a random Dan pic to compensate

If there is anything that offends me in this tweet it's the terrible French :mrgreen: Bring out the feisty tweets why do I feel like Australia makes them always a tad more extra?

[Ataraxia25]

Um, since you are from France dare I ask what you think of the French Daniel Howellé Twitter account? I’m rolling my eyes at all the ‘hon hon’-ing, but these ones made me laugh:

well i don’t know if it’s just me, but i feel like sometimes it doesn’t sound french at all, particularly the ‘baguetté’ : i don’t understand why the account put a ‘é’ at the end of words ending with a ‘e’ because we wouldn’t say it like that (but maybe it’s just me not understanding what the person means by that). on the whole it’s funny except these times where i’m like : ‘what?!’ with a big frown because it doesn’t sound french haha
actually (sorry if this is offending) i feel like sometimes it sounds italian to me

édit : oh yeah and what the ‘hon-hon’ is supposed to mean?

[LadyLackless]

édit : oh yeah and what the ‘hon-hon’ is supposed to mean?

It’s supposed to be how the French laugh, but like in a very over the top and stereotypical way.

[autumnhearth]

The terrible French might be part of the point, or they’re just ignorant/don’t care enough. I think the ‘hon hon’ is a really stupid not even sterotype of a French man’s laugh? (Like ‘ha ha”.) I can picture a chariciture, but I have no idea where it comes from. That part rubs me the wrong way and all the socialist and communist mentions, but whatever.

Ah thanks for the link @LadyLackless that’s really informative.

See also parodies like this. Hon hon is used at about 0:48.

[Ataraxia25]

really?? i swear to god i never heard anyone in my whole life laughing this way

but i think i’m the only one being just a little bit amused, i saw french people being very amused by the account so it may just be me and my non-existent sense of humour

thanks for everyone for the answers and thanks for the link @LadyLackless !
also :
i just listened to the ‘hon hon’ part in the video @kavat linked and
my best friend who’s behind me brushing my hair knew right away what video it was so i guess everybody else knows that hon hon is supposed to be the stereotypical french laugh!

Omg lmao it doesn't sound at all like Italian I can guarantee you

What's the toto gaming video like? Shall we expect something today or a liveshow? They said they would fly out to Australia from Vancouver but I wonder when

[ratlad]

yeah it is terrible french but i think it's on purpose, but the 'a' and 'é' is bothering me though.
i want an ig story
edit: i wanna try and translate one of those tweets into actual french to see how much i've kept in my brain sice 9th grade....
toute le monde demander moi toujours "où la vidéo de Jun?"
i forget the rest of the tweet but that's all i've got, thanks for listening.

[itasca00]

They said they would fly out to Australia from Vancouver but I wonder when

I think they're already there. It was 12:30pm in eastern Australia when Dan tweeted about (presumably) getting coffee, while it was 7:30pm in Vancouver. A double shot of espresso sounds like just the thing you need to stay up and adjust your sleep schedule to a new time zone.

[sonicgreen]

Does anyone think the odds are higher of a Rize stream today? Given the guesses that they're now in Australia?

[knq]

According to google it’s 2am on Wednesday in Australia right now. So far I think the Rize shows have been midday in whatever time zone dnp have been in on Tuesday/Thursday. Might be wrong though. I’m taking my headphones to work with me just in case.

Oh my thought was they were at the airport getting ready to board. I guess we will find out at some point today. It's only 2am right now in Australia so we probably won't find out until much later. Also I wonder how they will do livestreams because they can't be at the same time they were originally doing them, hopefully they learn how to give ample warning but look who I'm talking about.
