I'm a bit familiar with Elliot from some Tomska vids, but otherwise I know nothing about him. In what capacity has he worked with Phil before?
I don't know if Phil and Elliot have ever worked together on the production of a video, but Elliot shot and edited a video literally in Phil's living room, in which Phil appeared (you can see them both in the shot in the outtakes at 2:45):



And I can't resist reposting the video in question--I still think it's one of the funniest ever:

Rejects + the bloopers are a fave. I still hear "Dan Dan HAM" everytime I have a ham sandwich.

Elliot also has his own channel and streams sometimes with his partner, who happens to work at Big Potato that made Truth Bombs.

There is something nagging at my brain that Phil has mentioned Elliot regarding some other project too but I can't figure it out right now.

Never mind, it was a hypothetical project Dan talked about in a liveshow way back

exploring dan’s oral fixation or not (Mar 6, 2018)

43:30 “With my videos, I almost feel like, my ability to produce them— is it holding it back? or is it endearing?”
43:50 “I try as hard as I can, and realistically, without hiring a cameraman and an editor and someone to light the videos better, it’s as good as it’s gonna get. And I know there’s a charm to that, ‘cause that’s why people like YT, that’s why people feel connected to me, ‘cause it’s obviously just me doing my best shittest job by myself. But I wonder: is the production holding it back? If it was better, would the good messages be seen by more people? Who knows man, I debate that.”
44:40 “If I got Bertie Gilbert to direct it, and I got Ciaran, who films every YTers videos, to film it so it looked really good, and then I got Elliot, that edits all of Tomska’s videos, to edit it, would it be like, good?”

im sorry...

but....

ELLIOT?


oh my God :stan: sorry im literally an elliot stan lmao sorry

he's really creative and does his own asdfmovie ripoffs (even though he works on and does voices for the real ones)

he is a very good editor for tomska's content, he really has a unique and distinct style that makes the smallest and most mundane things extremely funny so I'm looking forward to seeing what he does with Phil's chaotic messy energy

those two would be such good friends tbh I can see them hanging out and being chill

I'm dropping his youtube channel, his videos are fun:

TwoSetViolin rated Dan's piano skills and were very positive about his Debussy :lilheart:

"You can show me your Debussy anytime" they seemed to enjoy it :lol:

I also just remembered that Elliot is in this old sketch, so they've known each other since at least 2013.

I would *love* it if we got video by video blooper shorts.
Wow, Phil is really taking to these shorts. And I have to say, the thumbnail outtakes is ~quality~ content. I was legit cracking up. There was even a Dameo.

I too would love regular bloopers. He could do a monthly or bi monthly blooper summation?

So it's almost Martyn's birthday and M&C are flying somewhere with Freja... if they are going to Isle of Man, what do we think the chances of Dan and Phil tagging along are? I'd love some nice scenic IoM shorts. Or even just some good ol' instagram content.

Oh I would love some fresh IoM content!

I've actually been wondering if they went on vacation or something this past week as they've been *so* quiet, which isn't too unusual for Dan, but Phil hasn't been active on any socials, not even liking things, since the 15th. I know we had the thumbnail short but unlike the other shorts there weren't any tweets or stories accompanying it. Not that I expect there to be with every short, but it just added to the general "quietness".

Cornelia is also a delayer of content so if they are all there I wouldn't be super surprised if they hadn't gotten there days ago and she's just now sharing the pics!

Okay I had to hunt that liveshow down... oh man, early 2013 Dan and Phil were just different people than the guys we watch now. The nostalgia feels more like an anthropological survey at this point. But it was actually Jack and Dean, not a Tomska thing, boo. I think Jack and Elliot look just enough alike that they merged in my brain.



Around 32:26 Dan "reveals" their wifi password as cocksaregreat62.

Phil really needs to shoot a quick tweet or insta story out with these shorts because YouTube doesn't show them in my recommended videos, let alone send me a notification! Love that he's also reminiscing about Japhan 2.0 coming up to the two year anniversary :cherryblossom:

I love him so much, this is my favourite Phil aesthetic. Gorgeous <3

As an aside, wtf is up with insta teenagers being vile to Cat? She posted a nice comment on her friend's photo. I don't understand any reason for Cat hate in general but to go out of their way to be an asshole to her for literally no reason is disgusting. I'm sure Dan and Phil would be real proud to have horrible little bullies like that as fans, especially when they're attacking their own friends.

It's so embarrassing when I see things like that. Like, I'm so embarrassed for them to have thought that was an appropriate thing to comment. Pretty sure she's more relevant than any phannie out there, with fat stacks in her account too.

Gah. Anyway. Phil pretty! I love those new glasses. I should branch out and get a new pair myself but I'm so used to mine... meh!!

Ooh woke up to two interesting things... one I'll post about in Cornelia's thread but she's clearly not having a fun morning trying to argue her support on NFTs on twitter.

But the other is from this drag queen:

I love Tia Kofi, if it weren’t for the whole soulmate thing, Dan could definitely do worse! If I recall correctly this isn’t the first time she’s tried to get his attention either :lol:
