Dan & Phil Part 31: You're stuck with me for life

[hunnyftw]

-We saw how the nose got a lil smudged but how did the whiskers get so smudged by the end? because Dan's face was up against Phil's body when he carried him?

Probably the screaming into the pillows part. Which was one of my favourite parts, btw. I totally went to my bedroom and did the same and BOY, does it help!

Other favourite parts:
4:31, their smiles after Phil says "and what a thic channel it was". Lovely, lovely, lovely, and seemingly really genuine. And did I mention lovely?
Phil as the pineapple pen guy.
The bedsheet thing, precisely because it could be interpreted both ways.

Also, proud to say my yeah boiii is significantly longer than Dan's is. Granted, nobody was touching me all over my face so maybe I had it too easy

Agree with whoever said that it felt shorter than 10 minutes.
Overall, not the best for me but still really enjoyable. 7/10. I'm definitely a little tired of Pinofs but I still appreciate them and definitely don't want them to stop. I just have to learn and manage my expectations for the one next year, which is easier said than done.

Edit, after reading alittledizzy's post: stating that it was understated and relaxed is a nice way of putting it. And I agree with it. But it seems that some people interpret it as them being tired. And I can also kind of see that. I guess I'm not sure if I fully enjoy this vibe. I sort of do, hence 7/10

[eevee]

5:19 - This just teaches me to be more specific when I say I want to one of them with their legs over the others shoulders.

6:05 - Phil has a tired butt.

checkmate, Phil Top Believers.

Probably the screaming into the pilows part. Which was one of my favourite parts, btw.

Unless this was filmed super out of order, it seems like they were unaffected by that, but yeah they could've filmed that part last I guess

[rizzo]

LOVED this PINOF! Things that stood out to me, because everything else was just plain cute:

Jumpcat @ 3:32, these little assholes picked the quote for the orgy joke. I love them. I hate them.

8:10 - Phil's bedside drawer, eh? Why do you immediately go to that one, Dan? There are 2... one is, in fact, closer to you.....

Anyway. I'll be rewatching this for the rest of the day and night.

[lilMango]

I think this is my favorite pinof since the first one. They were understated, relaxed, but in a way that made it seem like they were actually having fun and not just downing a ton of sugar beforehand and then frantically acting things out before the rush wore off. This feels like a continued example of things we've already noticed: they're relaxing their attitude toward touching each other, normalizing it for both random affection and humor, and dropping (some of) the over the top reactions they have, and Phil's humor is more adult without feigning innocence every time.

I agree, especially about the relaxed attitude and Phil's humor being more adult. Innocent!Phil to me seems forced, so I'm glad it was minimal in this video.

Not to be completely this, but the statement said about the bed pretty much pointed to subtle ambiguity about whose bed is whose (possible insinuating that they share) rather than bitching about speculation regarding their sleeping habits by the phandom. Idk but this reminds me of all the times they've become very blatantly obvious about something and people have reacted negatively in fear that they would be wrong (ie. when Dan pretty much admitted to not labeling his sexuality in his Roast Yourself video yet Tumblr was destroyed with die-hard shippers writing in all caps DAN'S NOT GAY). Yet in other videos when they so much as glance at each other, you get all the fucking shipping imaginable. Does anybody else see this imbalance, or is it just me? I mean, you can completely disagree with me, I'm certainly not taking this as confirmation as anything and I'm still agnostic about it, but the language used IMO is so straight forward and suggestive yet everyone takes it the wrong way?

I know exactly what you mean, and I see this a lot. The sheet statement will probably be overlooked because it's so vague... but you have to think about why it's so vague. Why did they choose to act confused like that, instead of being like "wow this is weird Dan's sheets are on my bed"? It's so obvious that it means something, but like you said.... it'll be overlooked and there will just be endless gifs of Dan picking up Phil (not that im complaining).

[internetakeover]

How did you manage timestamps already dizzy, I'm in awe. 4:07, yes, Phil's face, he's been drawing me in more and more over the past... well, probably almost a year by now, but he just keeps charming me, it's too much. His laugh at 0:25 was so great, too, I loved that he seemed genuinely amused by Dan being, lbr, an annoying little shit - said with all the love in the world, I too thought it was hilarious!

I utterly adored the vid, I'll need to rewatch PINOF2 before I decide if it's my second or third fave PINOF but it's definitely strong competition. As a few people have said it just felt really relaxed and natural, in contrast to the more recent PINOFs which I thought felt really intense and kind of forced. I liked the weird humour, too - eg the hydration moment, wtf- I thought there was more of that than there has been in a while? More recently it's been just flat out yelling, which I can appreciate in its place - it's not like they(*cough*Dan*cough) always used a calm and measured tone in this video! - but variety is always nice!

Ooh, snap. Adding that to my personal timestamps file.

I PINOF 8

Now I know I might not be in the majority who did love it so that's why I have to write down now my quick thoughts.
I felt like they were having fun. I did not feel like they were overcompensating or being fake. I laughed outloud at least 5x.
They way they were this year felt like they were free in the way they expressed themselves. I didn't see them holding back on touching or worried about space between them. And I don't think it was fan service at all.
I loved Phil's laughing and Dan didn't seem as loud. I felt like they still liked doing Pinof and it wasn't like a chore. I am not going to go into detail maybe I will later cause I need to rewatch to say more but just my overall opinion is that this was probably one of my favorites ever. I look forward to seeing everyone's thoughts.

HUGS

[spaceguitar]

Haven't finished it because I'm a coward but the first minute is adorable.

[hunnyftw]

Oh, I always assume that all the pinofs are edited completely out of order. For me it's canon that they are Somebody confirm it for me or correct me if I'm wrong please, but I think some people analysed it and proved it to be the case, at least for pinofs 1 and 2.
Anyway, I was trying to sort of pay attention to the whiskers while watching the second time, and the degree of smudginess definitely varies throughout the video which would confirm the out of order thing

YES the water moment??
and Phil inhaling a mini-koala and a mini-Dan on Dan's thumb for no reason

also I think Dan's smudged nose happens on 7:32

[starlight-still]

I’m not even gonna try and make this coherent and thoughtful at this point- just know that I loved it, they’ve elevated it to a genre of its own, it is the very heart and soul of all things , and long may it reign. Moments (I'm already forgetting some but):

- I can’t believe Dan knows about that one crack fic…some of y’all know what I’m talking about
- Dan just looking at the camera, he didn’t say “is that what you f**king wanted” but his eyes did
- Quiffs! And just…’cause? Or have we all been especially good this year?
- Um, why was Phil’s dog-and-cat breeding noise spot on?
- I don’t usually say “cringe” but that ASMR part is next to it in the dictionary said someone who is not me who am I kidding
- Phil boy you can’t fool us I saw that DAPGO page change after the jump cut we know about editing mofo we see you
- Did Phil just say ”moshi moshi” to someone who called him that is so cute…or maybe it was actually Duncan and Mimei
- Dan sobbing about the call tho
- Phil needs to stop it with that “thicc” j/k he does it to annoy dan most of all and that’s freaking adorable
- I was howling at the end of that jazz cover...oh daniel
- Dan’s butt emoji were a little too accurate hmmmm
- “dusty bitch” and I mean he said it with such passion, wow I want the unrated version
- Phil leave my patronus alone idgaf what your name is
- “Quite sexy though” help
- Now we all know full well he’s got more than lip balm in there
- Phil moaned erotically like 8 times in this video is this an anniversary gift?
- Phil’s such a lovable nerd, falling for the ol “you got something on your shirt” bit
- 8:59-9:06. Just

- Why is Phil wearing matching socks??
- Heroic Dan yas save him I didn’t know I needed this until today

Also, someone needs to throw an entire vat of holy water on me because I couldn't help but think/notice:

Have you got a secret deppy kink? Do not be ashamed, my child. If it’s crossed your mind, pinof 8’s got it! We’re talking:

- Fringeless Phil!
- Fringeless Dan!
- Scream when you touch me!
- ASMR!
- Phil in blue!
- Phil smiling with his teeth!
- Phil vibrating his hand really fast on Dan's mouth and throat while staring unblinkingly at the camera for like five seconds without breaking his gaze once!
- Dan eyeing the camera knowingly!
- Dan presenting!
- Phil’s booty!
- Touching!
- Legs!
- Duvets!
- Circles!
- And many, many, many more!

Ok. I'll give in and be the wet blanket here. I didn't see this part as particularly . The way I saw it was that they DID switch the sheets, but just jokingly pretended like nothing had been done? I don't think it went beyond that.

But dear god, please keep the on! Because this whole video is just

[pilotlight]

I am too lazy and unobservant for timestamps, is the conclusion I've come to. But after rewatching these did stand out to me.
0:23 Phil's little gesture to make him stop yelling, I don't know why this strikes me as so cute??
0:53 "What does the internet want from us??" Well, if the "questions" on twitter were any indication...
1:25 Holy arm freckles. (Moles? Freckles? Speckles?) I'm sure I've seen it mentioned that he's freckley before but that's the first time I really noticed for myself.

[fancybum]

- Did Phil just say ”moshi moshi” to someone who called him that is so cute…or maybe it was actually Duncan and Mimei

That's literally where my mind went too. Didn't they film at like 2am? Who's calling them at that hour?

And they said bork somewhere, but nothing about that tweet. NO PRESSURE because that's annoying, but.. I want them bloopers asap lol. And yeah the sheets just came off as a dad joke to me, not some conspiracy nod to their irl sleeping arrangements but who even knows anymore honestly. Is Dan going to tweet spree or nah.

Ooh and my new fav part for the next 10 minutes is how casually Dan pushes Phil aside to read the bedside table question, and how casually Phil rolls over when he does. That's the kind of thing they do that we never get to see, just casual physicalness (tis a word) and I'm here for it.

[DeadlyNova]

I was literally writing a post freaking out about Phil's arm freckles when you posted this. I am obsessed with freckles so I had a mini freak out when I saw that. I paused and looked at it for quite a while because I'm very weird.....
(yes...definitely room for every kink...)
It makes me think of this old tweet:

I'm with riz this time. Maybe it is because I didn't even think of the bed situation when I saw it or because in my head I have already accept that deppy sleeps on diff bed whether they're together or not. But nice theory though

[flarequake]

Well, that was fun. As people have said, they do seem more relaxed and I'm glad they're enjoying it, they certainly got a lot of weird and funny questions in amongst the cringe on the twitter tag. Seemed to be a lot of horse questions, but maybe only two.

Loved them both fringeless and actually seeing freckles on Phil's arms and face, amazing they're always there, but the bright lights usually wash them out. Also Dan lying on the bed facing the wrong way and Phil smacking him on the butt with the pillow, Phil lying on the bed and that foot-on-bed pose for whatever reason. He sits on the bed so much in his videos, it's just rare to see him full-length. Phil in that green shirt and then Dan carrying him, so cute and flaily, also his legs in those skinny jeans, what can I say

[hunnyftw]

Ooh and my new fav part for the next 10 minutes is how casually Dan pushes Phil aside to read the bedside table question, and how casually Phil rolls over when he does. That's the kind of thing they do that we never get to see, just casual physicalness (tis a word) and I'm here for it.

+100 on that. And it's strengthened by the fact that Dan gets genuinely interested and excited by something on the screen. It may sound stupid in this context because it's just a random question for the Q&A, but I find people (in general, not just Dan)so inrcedibly attractive in this split second when they get genuinely excited over something. I don't know if anybody even gets what I'm on about but it makes total sense in my head... Anybody...? Please, reassure me.

[koalaselfie]

I freaking love how this forum always goes back to bedroom arrangements
Never change IDB
I still love practically every moment on rewatching. This is some good PINOF

Edit: Any detective-sleuths here going to super-zoom-in and sharpen screenshots of their phone screens on the emoji question?! (This is a joke obviously, but I wouldn't put it past anyone ) Interestingly though, the conversation Dan accesses to check looks like a series of texts he hasn't replied to (6:06...this is hella creepy, I'll stop )

[Stakhanov]

Are we ready for some serious analysis though?





A penny for your thoughts.

[spaceguitar]

They were adorable but I found the questions cringey and some just plain unnecessary- like sniffing the sandal.

[tylerrjoseph]

i enjoyed it! imo couldve been better but im also so damn tired of cat whiskers lol. notes from me:

-heck
-"what does the internet want from us phil" ???
-the dimple poke im a slut for soft!dan
-reenacting yuri on ice! it wasnt that amazing but i love yoi so
-i did not BREATHE when dan said he had an important q at 2:38 ?? is water an inside joke or did i miss something
-WHERE was dan gonna go w the get a dog q
-"phil who are you talking to do you have a friend you arent telling me about i knew this day would come" jealous!dan makes me
-"what a thicc channel it was" that felt so genuine
-"send it back" sjjsajahaj
-6:53 aw
-the bedsheets !!!!! they were so casual abt thi s theyre just fucking with us at this point to be completely honest. also my best friend was the one who tweeted this
-they can pick eachother up but not hold hands,,, k

side note i wanna know what was with bork b/c one of my friends tweeted smth that would have generated it

[anathema]

About the phone thing: I just assumed it was Dan calling Phil so they could make the joke?

Any detective-sleuths here going to super-zoom-in and sharpen screenshots of their phone screens on the emoji question?! (This is a joke obviously, but I wouldn't put it past anyone ) Interestingly though, the conversation Dan accesses to check looks like a series of texts he hasn't replied to (6:06...this is hella creepy, I'll stop )

I noticed this too. Sadly I think it's a lost cause trying to figure out what it says but yeah like is Dan really that bad at replying to texts?

1:25 Holy arm freckles. (Moles? Freckles? Speckles?) I'm sure I've seen it mentioned that he's freckley before but that's the first time I really noticed for myself.

It makes me think of this old tweet:
https://twitter.com/AmazingPhil/status/ ... 7861910528

I thought of that tweet too! Phil definitely has a redheaded complexion (pale, has lots of freckles, burns easily, etc.) even though is hair is more brown than red

But dear god, please keep the on! Because this whole video is just

+1. I don't think we should read into it too much.

[mio]

omg that was great. so much touching
almost no cringy screaming parts as well
Some of the questions were of the kind that we were rolling our eyes about here earlier (adopt a dog??) so I was surprised they included these and made fun of it.

My favorite part is definitely "And what a thick channel it was"
I could stop laughing for a good few minutes before I was able to continue watching the video.
I sooooo much love these kind of spontaneous clever jokes Phil casually drops. It feels a lot like the humor from his old videos coming back as he gets more comfortable in how he acts. I love him


Also the jazz TIIH was so good I can't get over that part


When the video was over and they went back to outro #spon mode I was so confused for a moment. I can't even say why. It was something about the atmosphere that had really caught me in, as well as it feeling extremely third-wheeling.
Need to go rewatch and collect my thoughts on this.

[lefthandedism]

Oh, I always assume that all the pinofs are edited completely out of order. For me it's canon that they are Somebody confirm it for me or correct me if I'm wrong please, but I think some people analysed it and proved it to be the case, at least for pinofs 1 and 2.
Anyway, I was trying to sort of pay attention to the whiskers while watching the second time, and the degree of smudginess definitely varies throughout the video which would confirm the out of order thing

We actually just discussed that a bit on the White Whale thread (including a pointer to an analysis). The first one is massively out of order, but the subsequent ones less so (at least in comparison!).
