Dan & Phil Part 24: I got moist for you, Phil

[mysterylovescompany]

But, at the end of the day, YouTube is a video sharing website with a lot of content. If you don't want to watch Rosanna's videos because you don't like how they're produced or they don't fit into your idea of how YT is supposed to be ... hey, you don't have to watch them.

I'm mostly just worried about this kind of content (professional, film crew, scripted, TV-esque) will become the standard for youtubers and the bar will be raised, and people like D&P who want a say in every aspect of their content's production will be pushed out by those who succumb to professional and high-budget content creation. I hope you're right though that it's ultimately a video sharing website where anyone can upload I'm just scared of it turning into something different. Maybe I need to take a lavendar bath...

Have a lavender bath.

Deppy are control freaks; I don't think that will change even if the YT audience starts to gravitate towards more polished and professional content. And because they are so big on YT right now, I think there's still an audience for the down-to-earth YouTuber who sits on a bed and tells a story. And if the audience slowly decreases in the end... hey, that's the time for them to take their well-earned savings and get that house and dog and koi pond.

Philip (name), a given name, derived from the Greek Φίλιππος (Philippos, lit. "horse-loving" or "fond of horses")

Just adding this a bit more because there's no too much love for Phil is too much

The root word phil comes from a Greek verb meaning to love. So, if your name is Philip, you are etymologically a ‘lover of horses!’

thats an understandable fear. I do think the bar has already been raised in a way. Many youtubers who have been around for a while say its both easier and more difficult to be on youtube for exactly these reasons. Yes, you will do better if you have better equipment and editing, but you can still do well without, it just takes a little longer to get the money to get/learn those things. In the end though, original content, editing, and a decent camera are the basic foundations of a successful channel. If I saw a big YTer who didnt reinvest the money from my views into better equipment for better content I would be a little annoyed tbh. I am always happy when I hear they bought a better camera, or a better house, or nice clothes, because in the end it all benefits me as a viewer

Also, imagine if someone you did support and enjoy for years suddenly said "well, I'm moving onto tv now making big productions with a crew, I'll be on this channel you cant access without fancy cable and need to pay for, soz bye!" That would suck I think YT Red is the beginning of this and it ames me kinda grumpy, but at least its still accessible and next to their other content and on the internet.

I think you're right that the bar is already a bit raised with the fancy cameras and ring lights but that I don't mind, I agree that I'm benefiting by seeing my favs in HD lol. I guess I imagined not the already-established Youtubers suddenly moving to TV, I guess I imagined shows like nerdynummies popping up everywhere and TV moving to youtube. I'm scared that networks will realize that youtube is where the money is and start to produce content designed for youtube and that will really bother me but i guess nothing can stop current youtubers from doing their thing so hopefully my fear is pretty irrational

I hadn't even thought of it from that angle! a great point. I don't know which one makes more money. I know that content creators make more money off a person who has a Red subscription than off a person who watched an ad before the video, so if big productions are really in it for the money they would make YTR specific content to rake in the real dough. Regular YT should stay safe from the big bad corporate evildoers.

However,most major cable networks also have youtube channels now where they post everything from teasers to full content to bring in an internet audience, which is necessary now that many young people don't even own a tv once they move out of their parents house. This transition is still in the beginning phases, so who knows how it will affect the future of you-tube/tv formatting.

That I wasn't worried about, I know deppy aren't gonna let go of their control freaky ways hehe. But yes please, house, dog, koi pond, I'm on board

I meant that they do have some influence over the community, even if that's not their intent. Because they are so big, other youtubers look up to them (to some extent) and see that deppy are still making things filmed in their flat with greenscreen work, comic sans and funny zooms. So if a member of their audience wants to start a channel and is worried about how polished the stuff on YT is these days, they might look at D&P and go, 'hey, they still do videos without a big crew and are really successful'.



Late thoughts on the AP video discussion (because someone asked for more opinions): I generally like all the videos I watch (of course, some more than others). But maybe I am just easy to please. To me, it's not about how deep the content is. It doesn't have to be as arty as a short film or as original and creative as something by PJ (although I love PJ's videos too). I like , and that's enough for me. I watch their videos because I like them and their chemistry, the stories that they tell and the ways that they tell them.

Phil has said multiple times that he makes videos because he wants them to be able to brighten someone's day (so he doesn't film himself being sad, because it's not the story he wants to tell). I think it shows a degree of confidence in himself that maybe Dan doesn't share as much - Dan, who is very open about how much he overthinks everything and flip-flops between confidence and insecurity to the point where he hides the truth behind self-deprecation and seeks validity from his audience (to an extent), whereas Phil is content with holding the place that he has in his audience's lives.what am i even trying to say here

But they are different people with different approaches to videos, so I don't think you can say that Phil's videos are shallow and Dan's have more effort, because they're not really comparable. You can call the AP video 'not groundbreaking or mentally stimulating', or a filler. But, we all watch YT for different reasons, and little me is happy with a funny video about Phil doing quizzes (that Dan likely chose)on his AmazingPhil personality, because watching Phil makes me happy. Also, it summoned the trash in me.

(these opinions are not directed at anyone in particular, by the way)

back Amazinglyonfire

I have been lurking on this website for ages, I decided to join now because I found this post on Tumblr

If you lurked 'for ages' you would know this topic was talked about many times. It is so annoying when people post their blogs and pretend they 'found' it. Do we have a rule against it yet?

about how some phan shippers can get out of hand. I think it's something important that everyone who watches Dan and Phil needs to read.
http://phandom-rants.tumblr.com/post/15 ... n-shippers

I also agree with this one: http://phandom-rants.tumblr.com/post/15 ... andor-phil this situation has been getting really bad lately

Does anyone else feel like the phandom has gotten out of hand recently?

Phan shippers and annoying fans who say 'paint your nails' and 'come to where I live' are Deppy's big customers. Deppy don't care because they are holding £100 notes over their eyes and blocking out the haters. The phandom is always out of hand like every big fandom and that is why Deppy are very very rich. They are adults who can make choices for themselves and not because some teenagers want them to do things. They're famous millionaires who do not need to be babied.

re: is the phandom insane today we're gonna talk about *spins board* if the phandom is out of hand!! Why are they out of hand this time?? *throws dart* oh! because we're forcing phan on them! Wait... *fishes rubber ducky out of kiddie pool* no we're hating on their female friends!! hold on we're *rolls dice* forcing pastel edits!!

To be honest, after TATINOF, I think that they're losing their steam, and I hope that they'll comeback before they become irrelevant not-too-creative. I won't be surprised if they'll create a joint channel, and leave their main channels because apparently, their new channel is the new main. Please ignore me. I have no idea with what I'm doing.

Dan just got 6 million subscribers. Phil will have 4 million soon. Their videos easily get 1 million views. Almost all Youtubers wish they could be as 'irrelevant' as Deppy. Why would they leave their main channels? All their videos are made together with each other helping. They are already working together behind the camera. If they can put more videos on their 2 channels and get more popularity and ad money why would they throw away the 2 channels to make 1 main channel? It does not make sense. Like Squishphan said

Also I really don’t see why people are talking about them (or Phil in this case) becoming irrelevant. His latest vid already has 750.000+ views in about 18 hours. I don’t see anything to get worried about.

Re: Phil being not into making YT videos

I think that Phil is into making roughly two videos a month exactly proportionate to financial motivation/how time and resource consuming it is/how necessary it is to stay relevant on the internet, it’s a part of his job and he treats it as such. I don’t believe his videos are fulfilling any sort of creative needs for him, even if he enjoyed editing in that scorpion climbing under his bed or inventing another tag. He and Dan are more internet personalities/celebrities, producers, managers and businessmen these days rather than original content creators, and I feel like they are okay with this.

Do some people think Deppy are Youtubers because it is fun and they want to make videos to share for their creative hobby? It has not been like that for many years. Youtube is their job. It is obvious they like their job and care about it but they are doing Youtube for money and not for fun. Dan plays piano and videogames for his hobby. Phil reads Stephen King and cares for plants for fun. They are creative enough to be good at their job and any more than that is not necessary for them to be happy with what they do.

Liked the AP video because it was entertaining and cute which is why I watch Phil. If I wanted creative pretentious things I would watch PJ.

[trashqueen]

[offtopic]i have nothing to add except that i enjoyed the more critical opinions re:phil's content, can't really participate bc all i expect from deppy is to be entertained but it was an interesting read

what i actually wanted to say is that i just went to check and yesterday marked an year since i made my gg account!! (took me a few days to actually post but lets ignore that), can't believe it's been a year since i started annoying y'all

also lmao i've just re read my first post and i was so sweet and polite, that's how you can tell i was terrified of making a bad impression[/offtopic]

[peekatyou]

I know Phil auditioned for Big Brother which I thought was a bit weird but whatever (I wonder what his life would be like now if he'd made it to the show) - apparently he was desperate to be noticed/validated and literally jumped at every opportunity to put himself out there (why was he doing that? Was he that insecure?.. What thoughts were running through his mind?) Anyway, I hate to think of him as someone who wanted just 'fame and money' [and used his early creativity solely as a tool to get there], as some of you guys seem to imply here, if I'm not mistaken? If I am, I apologize for the misunderstanding. But maybe young Phil really just wanted to be rrrich and famous and take money baths covered in maple syrup, you know.

So going back to the talk about his creativity, I think he genuinely saw himself the next Tarantino or something like that, but at some point he realized this idea was ridiculous and decided to try something else, which is fine. I, for one, still enjoy his content. It's true that we have PJ for crazy creative stuff.

Moving to my next point, I don't necessarily agree that he's at the happy comfortable place in his life where he just doesn't feel there's a need to change anything. I thought his last video had the subtlest 'roast yourself' vibe to it - to me it's apparent he's a bit tired of the old version of AP. The thing is he might not be fully aware of it himself yet (does it make any sense?) - he's still trying his best to play it cool, but still, it doesn't change the fact that his boredom with old AmazingPhil is there, flying in the fluffy towels scented air. Or it's not there and it's just me imagining things. So I just wanted to say that I don't think he's content, I'm sure his mind is constantly racing with all kinds of thoughts about what to do next.

On Rosanna Pansino, I don't think the makeup artist wiping lipstick on her teeth shows she's entitled. She's doing a cooking show and needs to keep her hands clean to touch the food, the makeup artist is probably used to getting a bit intimate putting makeup near eyes, mouths and noses, and part of the job is keeping things looking perfect. I like Rosanna's videos, love baking and making things look so cute and pretty. The cuteness is a bit too much sometimes, but I overlook it. If I had more people to make things for I'd buy her book too.

YouTube's creative vlogger space has been shared by bigger production companies of chatshows, music videos etc for a while now and they're the ones advertised on the main page, they're not going anywhere. At least we can click the three little dots to the side of them all and say Not Interested. Because repetitive clicking is such fun and never gives anyone RSI.

PJ is quirky, not pretentious, dammit I love his world of characters and all the different things he comes up with. Discovering him unlocked my creative stagnation last year, via the daft Krave challenge videos no less (mother hen in me saw Dan fall in the pool after standing in front of the two safety signs and had to be reminded that 22 is an adult age and they might even have had a lifeguard on set etc).

I love the older Phil fan perspective so much, it's great to hear more from someone who was there at the time

Also love Swofro's alternate name meanings for Phil, they suit him much better.

[nephilimcat]

A few of you mentioned Dan and Phil as parents and how it would or wouldn't improve their views. Do you really think they would actually share that with us?
To me they seem like very private people. We don't know anything about relationships since they met, maybe because they simply didn't have any but maybe just because they don't want to share it with their audience. I remember that they said that in Becoming YouTube (Dan also said that most of his views changed, so maybe he doesn't agree with this statement anymore).
They also don't really share much about their families, Phil a bit more than Dan since he even made a video with his mother and Martyn is in charge of the shop, but if you look at what some other YouTubers share and how open they are with their families, it's not much.
They share their weirdness and failures and YouTube related experiences with us but when it comes to controversial topics or family, they keep mostly quiet about it. So, why would they share it with us if they had a baby? Maybe if they had one together. But I don't think they'd show the baby's face and if they had relationships outside of Phan, I highly doubt they'd share them with us. Dan knows what it's like when someone from your family is harassed, so why would he put a partner at risk? I could imagine that they'd announce when they have a partner without revealing their identity and same goes for the baby. Showing them on camera or even just sharing their social media profile with us - I highly doubt that.
Of course I don't know what they'd do, I can't look inside their heads. But it just strikes as something very unlikely to me that either of them would include a baby in his career. YouTube is their job, not a documentary of their life. And you might share some personal information with your colleagues but not with your clients. I know that YouTube isn't a traditional job and many people do share everything and clients isn't really the right term for us, but I didn't know another way to describe it.

[offtopic]I've been wondering why some of you call Dan and Phil "Deppy". What does it mean? Is it a short way of saying Dan and Phil without saying Phan?[/offtopic]

I think (someone correct me if I'm wrong pls) that it originated from the old forum, when some people tried to type D&P and it autocorrected to deppy (however, deppy is not a word in my dictionary, so i dunno). It just means Dan & Phil, but it's a silly name that's caught on here. It always makes me think of those jokes of Dan and Phil merging to become a single being, but without the shippy connotations that the name Phan has. I've fallen into the habit of using it automatically, as you can see from my post further up the page.

Re: babies

They are good at keeping things hidden maybe. I mean either they're ace, in a relationship with each other or have had relationships with other people. One way or another we don't know and if their relationships have been with other people their skills are amazing!

So Ok if either of them had a baby it would seem that it would be easy for them to keep the baby out of their professional lives. However babies have a way of sneaking in there. Trust me I have worked in more than one job where my colleagues have just thought that I lived with a flatmate but babies are much harder to shut up about. Also they have a far greater affect on your life than any partner - sleep, food, the ability to leave the house, being forced to leave the house. It only gets worse the older they get - there is one day a week when I don't have to take my 7 year old somewhere and if we're at home she's stuck to my side like glue.

Enough rambling - my point is if either of them (or if they together) had a baby they might keep them out of videos but I have a feeling we'd hear a lot about it.

Unless I'm completely wrong - they might already have 6 kids for all we know

It never was Darcy.

[human]

Who was the kid anyway? It's not Darcy as Darcy has curls. Is it Emily? The kid of that friend from Manchester who they had pizza with once in a live show? It was so funny how Dan denied there was a kid in the picture; clearly we can see one lol unless it's the London flat ghost in which case better call Zak Bagans...

It was Ian's kid, yes! I had no idea that Dan had tried and failed to pretend she wasn't there...

[000dia000]

I had to do a double take and try to understand what you guys were talking about with the child in the picture...that made me uncomfortable when I finally saw the child I was like I never noticed the hand and blonde hair. I say that the chances are it's Ian's daughter, I know we all like to throw around the conspiracy theory that they secretly have kids with each other or other people but as it was said before having children takes up all of the guardians time. Especially parents of newborns. If they had kids, we'd know, not from slip ups but when a parent has to look after something 24/7 it becomes their whole world and if deppy can't shut up about each other they wouldn't be able to shut up about their own child.

[phamnotof]

If this post was an article & I had the time to perfect it rather than just vomiting out random thoughts before I have to head off again, it'd be called something like 'College Kids Ruined Obscure Art For Me'.

See, just a few years ago, I'd have been at the centre of 'missing weird, creative Phil years'. And I think it's fine and fair to think of them as the height of his YT days. But it's not where I'm at, and I wanna expand on why:

1) I consume a lot of media and a lot of "art". It's just a part of the crowd I fell in with, and there's nothing inherently ennobling about it, that's just a piece of my reality. I've been dragged to plays where a guy just stared at a chair for 2 hours, I've been to galleries showing paintings solely painted with people's genitals, I've politely declined an art show ticket where the artist would drink some mixture of paint and milk in real time & proceed to vomit it onto a canvas. There was a particularly memorable poetry slam I once attended where a goth-looking chick read a poem consisting only of the word "skin" for ten minutes.

The commentary I usually see for these things isn't necessarily based on enjoyment, or even the joy of a beautiful message hidden in the penis-shaped imprints. It's more along the lines of "I've certainly never seen something like that before."

And at 20, a hella lot of people are charmed by this. By the new, the inventive, the unseen. Shock for the sake of shock is a tool like any other, and sometimes, chaotic notes or words or strokes on a canvas are the only way people have to express the chaos they feel inside of them.

Now, that's not to say the weirdness in Phil's YouTube videos ever made it to paint vomiting. But yes, he used to be weird. He used to be the kind of creative that screamed of innovation, of trying, experimenting and looking for ways to put the essence of his brain into bite-sized videos on the a platform that way back then was largely about connecting to people like you.

Experimenting, often, is just another word for searching. And when he started out, I do think he was searching. Searching for people, for love, for meaning, for himself, as many twenty year olds are. Ten years ago, he was this whole person filled with possibility, unanswered questions and untamed potential, and YouTube was this platform filled with possibility, unanswered questions and untamed potential.

In ten years, a lot has changed, for both Phil and YouTube. YouTube became a business, an international cultural tool, a personality-driven sensation and a uniquie project that pioneers the idea that individual creators and big corporations can share revenue and everyone benefits.

And Phil? Phil is ten years older, too. Phil found a new home, a world of success, a life partner to share those with - and has the scars to prove it, too. He's had to deal with a lot more grief than most young people already while navigating people online paying attention to him, he's had his heart exposed for thousands of people to see, he's had people trying to use him and his name for his audience. He's ten years older. And while you're never done searching as a person, I do think he has a lot more answers now than he had at twenty.

So he's different. He's settled into himself, found his groove, found a way to navigate fame, found a way to keep his privacy and - he's still learning, but a lot of what's been established throughout these ten years of learning to do this isn't just going to evaporate. I don't think he needs to express the chaos within himself the way he did at twenty anymore simply because he's not that person anymore. You do take that person with you though, and sometimes, he'll say something like “I don't trust worms because you don't know if you're talking to their butt or their face" - and you can see that his brain is still a lovely, creatively thinking place, and just because he's not searching for his groove anymore, that doesn't mean he's just going through the motions.

And look, yeah. I've been frustrated with him, and I've thought that what he was delivering was slightly stale before. But the new video? Fills me with a lot of joy, and not just because it's along the lines of the traditional "ten minutes of happiness" that Phil wants to give us with his videos, and I love him for that.

My criticism has always been range. From sharing only one of your favourite animals cause that's the branding you ended up with to rigid portrayals of your straightness, to 3 personality aspects.

But that video challenges a lot of that, while subtly. Like that liking lions is "tradition", which both pays a tribute and acknowledges there's more to him, like challenging fan-percived personality traits, like not going for the obvious on-brand answers an giving thoughts on them.

That, to me, was a breath of fresh air, and a promise of more to come, and that comfort and feeling of just being ready is something that I've been getting from him for a while now in general. And I love love love it.

And because someone mentioned that it's been 5 years since the VDV leaked - isn't it beautiful to see Phil want to do a video that'll also „Hopefully make some of the quizzes' creators happy, too“ & interact with the idea (and word) of "phan" in a main channel video without any leftover anger & resentment?

I have a 99.9% they are voicing for this movie. I also went through the the cast list for this upcoming movie on Wikipedia and 2 other youtubers are also voicing characters for this movie ( Ricky Dillon and GloZell). Do you guys think I'm right ?

Re: the 'kid in the background' incident. I always had the feeling that Dan was not intending for anyone to believe him when he said there wasn't a kid. It's a bit like the haru pillow, in a way. It makes me lol that when Dan denied it part of the forum actually tried to find a coherent explanation, and how it could be a shadow or an adult sitting down or something and it wasn't necessarily a child.

[coffeepenguin]

phamnotof (I don't necessarily agree with all your points about contemporary art, because I enjoy it in general, but I get what you're saying)

re: young Phil's motivation, I wanted to add something, because I'm surprised some of you think that he wanted to become rich, too. Could you elaborate on why you think that? There's nothing wrong with it, of course, but I don't think he wanted to become rich necessarily (I mean, he's not the one who spends all his dough on designer clothing), and the two don't always go together really, you can be quite famous without actually getting rich. I feel like he really was looking for validation, be it because of him generally being a weird kid, or having a perfect big brother, I don't know, I can only speculate
That explains why he started replying to Dan back in 2009, though, doesn't it? (literally just had this thought)

thank you guys once again for being so nice and welcoming

The Instagram post in question. Seems like Carrie is doing something similar to what did for BH6. Anyway, interesting theory, but I dunno. Here's what we know:

-their characters are not human
-D&P have about a hundred lines each
-D&P voice proper characters (not just cameos)
-it's for an episode of something
-the animation is based on what the words they said (Phil ad-libbed some stuff)
-it's incredibly cool, but maybe not be something we would watch (though they probably would)
-we'll find out in 'like a year' (from 20/12/15)

I think they'd be in the cast list if they had as many as a hundred lines each, and they said it's for an episode, not a movie. Nevertheless, this has got me madly curious all over again. I hope we'll find out soon.

[melon lord]

Having a show where they based the animation on what the actors said sounds like it's still being prepped and not an existing series. That stuff takes a lot of time and usually only happens in movies.

I'm looking up 2017 releases and Megaman is getting a tv show by an American production.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega_Man_(2017_TV_series)

Megaman is a videogame franchise so I bet they know about it but a lot of casual fans or non-gamer fans won't know him. Good possibility?

If it is I'll be pleased, be still my nerdy beating heart

Now I just need them to dub an anime and my inner weeb will sob
