Hello, I would like to discuss the beauty/hilariousness/dan-ness of Natalie.

First of all, she always starts her videos with apologizing for not uploading sooner but *insert deliberately thinly veiled excuse*.

Second, she usually begins with an idea and then inserts skits to illustrate her topics.

Finally, she is really beautiful and vERY sarcastic. Her problem is probably that the things she talks about are mostly not that relatable lmao. But give her a chance, I promise you will not regret it

Nat is the Queen of comedy, Queen of irregular upload schedules, Queen of OG YouTube, Queen of Australia.

Yeah, she's my fave female YouTuber and has been for at lest six years. No one else has come close, despite her disappearing for months on end sometimes. But her videos are just so timeless, I can watch videos by her from years ago and they never feel dated.

Dan's style of video making is very obviously inspired by her, in the beginning he was more or less an exact copycat tbh. It's possibly why I got into Dan pretty quickly, it was familiar. He has found more of his own style since then, but you can still really see her influence in his work. The same style and quirks always kinda slips through.

Phan + Nat collab plz.

I love Natalie she is the only youtuber who never disappoints me. I only wished she posted more but I suppose as she now has a job outside of YT it's just a side hobby for her.

I love her so much! And for her 10 year YouTube anniversary she had a barbecue haha probably the Australian way of celebrating :D her videos are indeed very timeless and have great replay value as well. I always show my friends her videos and each time I still enjoy them too.

She certainly inspired Dan and I think Phil has said that he loves her videos too. Whenever she is gone from YouTube for a while I just laugh harder at her excuse when she posts again lmao. Also the porno music/comment time; Dan made his own version of that with the sexy end screen dance.

They should collab!! I don't see it happening soon though.

I don't really see Natalie and Dan collabing to be honest; they both rarely make a video with someone else unless they know that person really well (Rowan for Nat and Phil for Dan). I think it would end up awkward as heck because their personalities and senses of humour are too similar.

Dan definitely got inspiration from Nat and they have always reminded me of each other, but we all know who came first.

I love love love nat! She's funny, she's down to earth and doesn't have an inflated head, and her videos as Catallena said, are timeless. No matter if you watch them back then or now, they are still valid and funny. I think she's my fave female youtuber as well. Her channel and vids just have so many happy memories attached to them.

Nat is so underrated it's frustrating.
She pioneered a style of making videos that i've seen so many other female youtubers try to imitate.
Her and HappySlip (the original IISuperwomanII ) really paved the way for female comedy on youtube.

i recently started watching her videos and i'm currently slowly falling in love. if anyone wants to recommend me their favourites, please go ahead, i'm just randomly clicking the ones showing up in my sidebar at the moment. :lol:

i find it interesting to see how dan was possibly/probably influenced by her videos, but i do think they're really different with regards to the pacing and punchlines of the videos. i love the way nat seems to frequently break the fourth walls or drag a joke out in a really hilarious way (as in, you thought it was over, but there's one more). i'm also in awe about all her characters -- my brain frequently just accepts that they are all played by different people, obviously, until i have to remind myself there's a reason they all look alike.

i honestly would love her and dan to collab, i do agree it might be awkward if they just did one of their regular videos together, but i feel like if they put their creativity together, they might end up doing something really cool. considering where both of them live, it's not realistic at all, but, you know, a person can dream.
thank's you were great

the real reason dan and phil are going to australia this year is to collab with nat
seriously though, if they collabed, no matter how unlikely it is, i'd probably cry.
i absolutely love nat, her videos are fucking hilarious and as an asian person, her talk on asian women in the media really resonated with me what a queen all round tbh

Nobody get excited, nothing has happened.

I just really want Nat to post again. A few weeks ago she said she had a vid ready to upload...and we got really excited, but she did not do it. I understand she's scared to post, but she must know how positive the reaction will be. She could upload anything and everyone would just be so happy to have her back.

Also, has Nat ever done a bad video? (Nobody provide examples) My point is, her videos are consistently high quality- whatever she uploads will be great.

tldr; please come back soon Nat, I miss you.
I miss Dan Howell's stupid face.

Just yesterday I was binging some of her videos
I too was waiting since she announced she had filmed stuff and I'm holding hope that she's just busy to post instead of backtracking
I miss her so much :cry:

I still follow nat's twitter, and it always warms my heart when she talks about her youtube channel. I still have her on notification. Maybe one day she might film something again (but who knows). But having her still around in some way on twitter is really nice.
