And you have to actually do research in subjects you might not understand. Like the HPV part. I am one that doesn't think it was vodka he drank. One because just shots of vodka is wrong lol. But no really when he drank afterwords he didn't do the open the mouth breath fire thing. And second he is on some strong antibiotics and while it wouldn't hurt him it does make the drugs be less effective and I am sure he wouldn't want to mess with getting better right before he left.
i don't know, his reaction seems like it could be genuine tbh. i know when i do shots i either react like dan or just look really sad haha. i think he probably had at least one shot then just faked the rest maybe?

i can't imagine him wanting to deal with having to just sit there, being drunk and waiting for it to wear off post shoot.

Ugh, another kpop react :roll:
What are they expecting from the youtubers if they make them react to basically the same thing over and over?

Oh damn that last sentence, I agree so much. The Fine Bros make some pretty boring choices for what they're gonna show but I'm a bit :roll: over people acting like the Korean music industry is just the same thing over and over again. It isn't any worse than Western music in that regard. If your entire view on Kpop is based on these video, maybe stop.
But kpop is not an umbrella term for korean music, it's a genre in itself with its own specific sound. And while i like kpop and hear how different the songs are, i also understand why it would all sound very similar so someone who doesn't like kpop.

I think they tried to make it different by including khiphop, but failed miserabley. They should have made a ytr entirely about khiphop to include some variety to get some more varied opinions. I'm sure there's lots of good music available in that genre.

We even talked about how they could make another kpop react more interesting, for example by going into the working conditions of idols (with the gfriend falling video as an opener), there are so many more interesting angles to this, why do they insist on this oh-how-weird-how-is-this-successful narrative?

absolutely agree that it's patronising how surprised they all are about the success of kpop. english speaking countries only make for a part of the worlds population. Non-western things are popular. There's nothing surprising about that. It's the same with bollywood, why are they always so surprised that other countries have blooming entertainment industries? The whole world listenes to us pop music, but when something foreign is popular in the us, it's a miracle :roll:

Really liked isg, but i like the format, so that's no surprise.

Hi I'm using internet explorer so hopefully this opinion will be posted by 2017 and is still relevant.

Don't have a lot to say about the react video. The horse is beaten to death and the glue has been sniffed, move on to another topic of interest already. You can see all the youtubers struggling to give vaguely interesting responses and it doesn't make for a good video, imo.

ISG: I don't want to hate on horses again but we're talking about the 8th video in the series. So it's not exactly deserving of an award in originality, but i did really like it. I thought his selection of questions was a lot better than the previous time, he was reasonably candid and he flirted with the (sexual) fandom like a pro.
I also approve of ironic edge lord Dan and his shots, i'm not quite sure they are real (as Mama Phan said.. i don't think he would endanger his recovery. Then again we've all been young, we've all drunk shots when we were supposed to be sick and on antibiotics ... so maybe he was just being an idiot )

Now that they're releasing a book about their US tour, i wonder if they'll give us a proper 'Day In the Life Of' while they're in Australia?

TABINOF was Deppy's bible that if they died from a meteor it would be what they left behind. Maybe Deppy only cared about TABINOF but since they had to make a 2nd book they didn't make it a big deal and just filled it with pictures.
I also think this

Delayed but:
Hi fauxchinaplates :platonic:

Agree with everything said on the offensiveness of 'let's react to Kpop because it's so foreign and exotic and therefore something reaction-worthy'.
But I'm still annoyed they are reacting to Kpop again. I'd be annoyed if they made them react to any type of music more than once. If they made them react to American pop music more than once I'd be more annoyed. :x

Re: comments section
Respectfully, I disagree
I don't take it too seriously. Everything written by the phandom in the comments section is a joke™. The clue is in the cap locks.

A Key To Understanding Phandom YouTube Comments

?!??!!! / !!11!!! = Another clue that it's all a joke™

'PHEELS' = a clever play on words and a joke™, again the clue is in the cap locks. It's both self-mockery and mockery of the stereotypical fangirl who ALWAYS TALKS IN CAPITAL LETTERS!!111!!!
(also sometimes refers to phan being mildly cute, something I'm sure most of the posters on this forum can relate to).

PROTIP / I'M CRAFTING = It's funny because it's annoying, and it's annoying because it's funny

Heart Eyes Howell = a mildly interesting observation about body language

There's this weird moment at [insert time stamp] where it looks like a phan moment = typically another mildly interesting observation about body language - kind of harmless thing to analyse on the grand scale of things.

Dan bottoms 2k16 = not letting go that one time Dan favourited a tweet by accident (as per his request to 'never let that one go')/forever cyberbullying your idols because you know they can take a joke.

Phil's a cinnamon roll / omg Phil swore = a genuine reaction to exposure to Phil's recent child-safe branding. I'm surprised when Phil piles animals on top of each other in a twitter photo and implies their having an orgy, so yes it is surprising to see Phil swear.

So I respectfully disagree, although I understand where you're all coming from and you have the right to take that position since over the top humour done on a mass scale can sometimes look a little much. I think because the phandom is so numerous and engaged this is exacerbated. But 99% of the time I believe the commenter is a rational fifteen year old having a good time pissing about on the internet. I usually don't comment on YouTube as a rule, but I do find them endlessly entertaining to read. Having said that, just write all this off as just my personal opinion, because I know that it is an unpopular one and most people disagree. I just wanted to put this out into the universe, but let's all just agree to disagree.

Haha this made my day!

Still haven't watched YTR so i have nothing to add to it but just to say. Why would they think they would have anything different to say after the first two YTR? It will be same reactions and by the sounds of it Phil was sassy to them about it aswell.

Also where is the Pokemon Go video guys. I thought we would be getting it earlier as they are on Australia time now....

Hi guys, long time lurking here so this is my first post ever, thanks to the mods and the awesome phamnotof :D
About the react to Kpop topics, i don't see why the FB won't let them react to 2NE1? I'm not a Kpop fan, but all the teenagers here are super crazy about this girl group.
About their new gaming video, wasn't this video taken the same time as the first one? They wear the same clothes. I'm a bit disappointed because i just want to watch Dan in his uniform that he took so much time to prepare

A great vid. :D
- Sad that Dan wasn’t wearing those leggins.
- They are so married.
- Dan being salty about not getting a Dratini was great.
- Phil chasing a squirrel. :lol:
- Of course they are on the same team.
- Loved Phil getting distracted by a dog.
- The ending was nice.
Watched the entire vid with a huge smile on my face. This may be my fave series of them.

I love all the team Instinct shade- I feel the exact same way. :lol:

Unconnected thoughts-

Liked this vid- the first one was better but there were some good moments. How close were they sitting when they were filming that gym battle?

Also, I really want to know what Phil did to irritate Dan so much when he yelled at him...

I was smiling the whole way through that adorable Pokemon GO video honestly. So many cute moments!! I can't wait to watch it again after work! (It came out conveniently during my lunch break)

Favorite moments:
- when Phil walked away from Dan and Dan was just like "this guy"
- Phil pointing out the statue's butt
- Phil getting better Pokemon than Dan! haha
- Phil telling Dan to do his rap
- Phil telling Dan something like "stop hitting me with your balls" and Dan just being like STOP
- Team Mystic forever!!

Least favorite thing:
- Dan abandoned the leggings and I cry

Y'all. That video. I can't. So much love and heart eyes and their body language - legs crossed towards each other. Faces inches away from each other when talking. And fond voices. I'm at work, so I can't go full time-stamps right now, but honestly... the best video Dan and Phil have produced in ages. :sobs:

ETA: Ok. Just one. 18:08 - Phil's "Awww. Look at that face!" I'm literal trash rn.

I'm so happy of the new video! Top-notch bants and them being outside.

Points:

Dan not wearing his leggings. Although he promise to wear them on the next pokego vid when all the clothing pieces arrived, I am still hoping that they record one episode in Australia. (this line is a mess and idk how to fix it. Haha)

brushing off Instinct as if it's not a valid choice is so rude haha jk. Or not. Jk.

Phil caught a Dratini and Vulpix, and Dan being salty about it is so cute. I also caught a dratini yesterday, I can relate with the happiness.

Phil not knowing Kingler from the silhouette, smh. :tsk:

Phil tagging himself as the spotted woodpecker is a nod towards 'Our Past Live Animals' vid. Idk if that is an easter egg or if he just choose the woodpecker randomly.

Phil get reckt at the gym.

People recognising them, saying hi to them and they said hi back.

I just love that video

Love is forever

No surprises that they picked Mystic but I'm happy they're on the same team as me
Loved the video, they are so freaking adorable and I love how their interactions feel so much more natural in this setting with them teasing each other and stuff! Will rewatch a bunch tonight and form some more coherent opinions, but for now and bring on more Pokemon Go pls

Dan and Phil actually posting a video when I'm not asleep, truly amazing.
I loved the Candela shade- "Way to be named after a candle"
And Phil calling the Vulpix "Dan's tears".
And when the fans yelled "HI DAN AND PHIL' and they yelled hi back that was so cute.
Good vid, though considering Dan was level 20 when he made this, which is impressive, his top CP wasn't that high.
Also Team Mystic :tsk: but whoever ran into them and said they were Team Mystic a few weeks ago was right.
I miss Dan Howell's stupid face.

#TeamStingyBastard with Phil. Heck yes! And in news that will shock and surprise absolutely nobody, they're both Mystic. Yesssssss!!!!!

Well, I guess we know why Dan's not over being ill!!! Bloody level 20. He's been out all hours chasing the Pokemans instead of resting up at home! (Kidding, I know pneumonia takes a ridiculous amount of time to get over fully. :(

Scuse me whilst I go full and re-watch about 300 times in the next 12 hrs. For reasons you've all already mentioned.

The leggings will return also, he's level 24 now how is he doing this I've been playing loads and it's still taking me forever to level up :( Edit: i had a toddler leash as a child and the idea of Phi in one is way too amusing to me
