It's kind of cringe for the phandom to tag Dan and Phil in pewdiepie's tag but I thought the video was funny nonetheless.
I don't usually watch Felix's videos, but this was genuinely hilarious. I'm afraid to read the comments though, it always continues to surprise me how so many people don't seem to be able to understand a joke. At all.

Drake's "yeah absolutely" was so distinguished. like what a fucking prince.
If you’re attracted to somebody, you’ll want them to sniff you eventually - Dan
*Phil is turned on by Dan's brilliance* *they kiss* *they have sex in the microwave* - Oqua (actually Phil)

This was definitely the year he looked most like a tall pretty lesbian. I get so nostalgic watching videos pre-2012/13, those were simpler times.
Also, I agree with you sweetmm. I've never understood why people were so obsessed with the notion that younger Dan might have self-harmed or had depression, just because he showcased signs of having normal teenage insecurity along with having an ''existential crisis'' period. It weirds me out a bit that people seem to look for signs that he's not emotionally healthy. Whatever they are getting out of it, I'm not entirely sure.

I might be imagining things, but I really like both their voices here. They sound more like their actual selves instead of their personas. This is how I'd like to meet them if I ever could - provided it wouldn't be a nuisance for them.
Also, can anyone understand what is being said at the very beginning of the video, up until "do you want to sign this?" I'm not a native speaker and it eludes me...
But I don't know where the picture is from, he does not tie his hair here.
I just realized....at 4:13, you can see that the girl drew one of Dan's naked Booths in a letter. Awkward. It's funny because he doesn't seem to be too embarrassed by it, but also doesn't acknowledge that the drawing is based off of a real picture. What an underhanded little liar you are, Dan.

I'm always so fascinated by how different people get nostalgic for different 'eras' in the phandom. Like I only just joined at the beginning of this year and I quite honestly have this utter disconnect with D&P's early work - like, they're not who I fell in love with, I barely even recognize them. I honestly wouldn't be a fan of them, had I discovered them 4 years ago. I feel like they were different people back then as well as different creators. I do like seeing the beginnings of what I see in them now, because I do think that some things are constant, but overall - not for me, not my humor, not my people, not an energy that would attract me beyond 6 minutes at a time.
So it's always so strange to see people wishing Dan would go back to what I call his 'angry unhappy slutty problematic self' - and this isn't meant to be a judgmement, it's more that... I wonder if we're all just destined to miss the Them that we fell in love with & if there's an expiration date on my Dan and Phil, too. And it's not that I don't want them to go forward in the journey that I'm percieving them to be on (boy, do I) - but I do wonder if someday, they go so far that I feel like I can't recognize them anymore. (I guess this makes YT fandoms weird, the potential forever of their existance, and the fact that I'll have to one day decide if it's still for me, no nettwork cancelling my new faves can intervene FUCK YOU MTV eh sorry off topic . But yeah, I've been thinking about this lately.)

I always wondered that too. Why would that be attractive. To me it would make me want to Cottle him not bang him. it seemed to me most people that loved the "hurting/damaged " Dan wanted to do the latter. Like that was part of his attention.
My guess is they're either romanticizing depression or they don't understand what depression actually is or they get the wrong idea from the things he said. Even if he had some issues, making assumptions about someone's health or about self-harming is fucking invasive and can be really harmful, I wish people didn't do that.
On a different note, Pewdiepie's video was exceptionally funny. I liked how he talked about D&P, too.
If we all just traded in our knives for cakes, the world would be a better place.

I'm more amazed at how clean Phil manages to keep his shoes. I can't walk out of the house without spilling something on myself. Those things are immaculate.

I think it's partly they don't understand it, teens often say 'I'm so depressed.' and they mean I'm sad the normal way people get sad, but I will called it depressed. Because everything is big and grand with teens, that's just how they are. And then they do want to coddle/parent him and seem big and important to him.
The other side would be teens who need a role model who is just like them. They're sad and actually suffering from depression, so they seek that out.They want to find someone who is like them. If they see an example of someone who, admittedly, wasn't a happy teen, and who now, is seemingly very happy and overcame that, it give them hope. In their head Dan was depressed and is living a wonderful life now, so they can too.
That said I agree, it's not a great thing for people to do, and sometimes it's gets to romanticized, some of the fics out there make me cringe so much, because of how much they've put these mental disorders on pedestal.

He grabbed that so fast haha. My favorite is when they sign in sync, arms over each other. It's like damn guys.

I can really relate to this. I wouldn't have been fans of them, and Dan in particular, either had I discovered them a few years ago. The 'angry unhappy slutty problematic self' Dan and I would not have matched at all and I want that guy to stay far away. If he would revert back to that guy, which I don't think is likely to happen since he seems happy with himself and his life now, I would quit watching him.

I just looked at the new(ish) poster and the bottom left picture Dan is making a “blobfish” face. I seem to remember either Dan referring to himself as a blob fish, or possibly Phil saying it? In a ls or something... it was just a passing comment. Does anyone else remember this? Has this been discussed? (#am I crazy) And now last night I was reminded that Dan gave Phil a blobfish plush for christmas (last year?). If all of this is true, and not just the machinations of a sleep deprived (almost) middle aged nose pervert, what do you all think about this?:[/offtopic]
This definitely sounds familiar. I think it may have been a phandom joke that eventually picked up on? I don't know whether it was before or after Christmas that they mentioned it though. And as I think it originated in the phandom, I don't really see it as particularly meaningful. (but who knows? )
