Really all their public social media accounts are there largely for fan service and not personal use.

Yeah, strongly agree with this. People act like fan-service is a bad thing but as youtubers their livelihood depends on the fans that they have, and at this point they are fully committed to the brand being the two of them. They post pictures for fans, with the intention of encouraging their fanbase, the same way they post gaming videos because fans want to see the two of them playing games together. The instagram photos may feel more authentic because Dan and Phil aren't going out fabricating scenarios just to take a picture and post it, but it's still not a personal instagram for all the reasons people have already said.

He's just saying "stop it". I spent about 20 minutes trying to figure it out a while ago (me and my friend were debating what he said lol), and it's definitely stop it.

I pay it. I want you guys to be able to vote too.

Dunno why you'd want to watch BBC sports coverage though.

Because NOS coverage is even worse :') 'There's live sports happening so let's not show it but talk about it instead. Or show you something from earlier today that you've seen 4 times already. Anything but live sports basically.'

Thank fuck they're done with with that book and that there isn't another radio silence from them during the Australia tour. Keep the cute pics coming boys, I don't care if it's fanservice.

Thanks, pearshaped34, anathema! It wasn't like I even believed he was saying something nefarious, just being unable to decipher it fucked with my brain

Finally realised what was niggling me about the DITL Pokemon Go vid this evening.

Sorry, I just got distracted by a dog...

reminded me SO so strongly of this little gem:

Just me? Have I finally gone round the twist completely?

Oh my god, for some reason I can't stop laughing at Dan's face when he looks over his shoulder
Does anyone have the link to the video that came from?

Oi you lot. Guess what.

Dan's stopped hiding shit in his hair.

Don't believe me? Check his hair in like every pic/vid for the last month or so. The poofiness is gone.

Let us rejoice.

You know what I realized today...are there any other D&P videos that we know of on the way?

If not.............

PHANDOM: Though we’ve got to say goodbye
For the [rest of the] summer
Deppy, we promise you this
We’ll reblog all your lulz
Every day in our shitposts
In the drought abyss

Yes, it’s gonna be a
Cold, lonely August
But we’ll fill the emptiness
We’ll write all our phan dreams
Every day in an AU
In the drought abyss

We’ll see you in the trashcans
We’ll hear PROTIP everywhere
We’ll run to reload our sub feeds
But, Deppy, you won’t be there

We don’t want to say goodbye
For the [rest of the] summer
Knowing the stories we’ll miss
So please promise you’ll do
A live show in September
Then no more drought abyss!

Yes, it’s gonna be a
Cold, lonely August
But we’ll fill the emptiness
We’ll re-watch ancient vids
Every day on the DD
In the drought abyss
In the drought abyss
In the drought abyss
In the drought abyss [fade out]

To the tune of:

Pretty sure Dan said that they filmed a couple of gaming vids, ones that were not the sims or undertale. So we should still get those.

Didn't Dan and Phil say they made two other gaming video that will come out sometime this month? I know one of them was filmed right after the flying bird poo incident. If they do plan to put those out this month, does that mean we're actually gonna get a video every week for the next two weeks???

sounds too good to be true...
Also nice parody!

Since they (most likely) can't add any more material to dapgo and therefore don't have to keep silent about all the "exciting tour adventures", would it be wrong to hope for a ditl-australia edition? PokemonGo esDownUnder? Anything?
While I loved dapg originally, nowadays I'm overall pretty... meh about it. It's sill somewhat entertaining, but having nothing but seemingly ever-lasting series that should have ended long ago and bandwagon-y, relatively simple almost non-gameplay games (that were hip last month) on there... u-u It all started so well.

I rewatch some of their older dapg videos regularly, especially the Portal one never fails to make my day a bit better. I wouldn't even think about watching their recent gaming videos more than once.

I chose "crush" on purpose, but I did have "man-crush" originally. Anyway, kids / teens can have crushes on just about anything for many reasons, so I wouldn't read too much into it

Maybe emulate? IDK, it doesn't matter - he clearly liked pre-hench Zac.

I actually really like his hair with volume. It works so well for him and his head shape.

starlight-still, I've always liked that song!

Hello I'm back... I was away for 3 weeks with no internet! I missed so much! The roast yourself was amazing, dans curly hair is the best and I think if he paints his nails he'll not do it because of peer pressure, if that was true he'd already have snapchat.

Dan and Phil aren't the most upfront (and have flat out lied before) to fans so my rule of thumb with them is to appreciate the cute stuff but always take it worth a grain of salt.

I'm split with this. Some people just don't want to be on the Internet (and have thousands of fangirls stalking them) but I also agree with you. Honestly, I don't know about anything anymore, if they're being genuine or fanservicey. But as someone said, fanservice isn't necessary bad and I try my best to not think about it and just enjoy it. Who knows what's inside of deppy's minds.
I guess my opinion is that everything they do is fanservicey. We all jump and squeal when they post a cute selfie. It isn't bad that they know that we'll enjoy it. I don't mind minor fanservice at all.

I actually more inclined to think it's more about stalker-proof. They know how crazy phantom can be, so they just hide their crew as much as they can to prevent people stalking them through their crew.

as for fanservice, they can be absolutely died on social media during their us your now they suddenly care about fans?

true lol. I don't even know anymore. Oh and I meant that it's not that they're "caring about us", but they are doing something that will start a positive reaction, and we like that.
Hmmm... You have a good point. Maybe they learned that not giving us any content kills a lot of people from this fandom? idk don't judge I'm really tired rn
I also agree about the crew. They don't want people stalking them, so they don't put them on the Internet. But why do they show a few crew members then?
