Dan & Phil Part 61: The 2017 Mince Pie Codex

[flarequake]

I'm here for more relaxed hair, fluffy and shaggy is a gorgeous look on him, though in whichever style he likes, it would look fine if he wasn't so fussed about it staying perfectly neat. I love him with a quiff too, but tbh, his fringe is so distinctive he sometimes looks kinda ordinary without it (please don't hate me I love him too)

Edit: what the hell is up with me ending up top of the page so often

[obvsly]

Quiff or no quiff, I really don't care tbh. But give me glasses!phil any day and I'll be happy. I don't know why he feels the need to give us a reason why every time he wears them in a video. The glasses should be the default option, not the exception!

[liola]

Yes to more fluffy shaggy hair, but I also can't see a full quiff. I actually like the fringe, especially when it's a bit longer and messy. I also love the black, I think it looks striking in it. But I'm a sucker for emo Phil and always have been lmao

Dan video tonight maybe? Or any kind of video?

[blackdenim]

I don't mind the fringe except when it's super blocky and looks like lego hair! And I like the black too, I think it's striking and don't think dark brown would have the same impact.

I wish he'd consider tinting his eyebrows and eyelashes a little darker to match his hair better though! How much paler they are drives me mad and I think it's part of the reason he looks a little washed out sometimes!

At the end of the day, he's clearly quite happy with his look - he's kept it for so long now - I'd be shocked if he changed it much and fair play to him, if he likes how he looks that's all that matters.

Oh yeah, he still dies his hair black, doesn't he? It'd be nice if he let it be for awhile, dyeing your hair as well as constantly straightening it is a lot of damage. I don't think his hair is naturally thick but who knows, letting it be would be refreshing and could make it look healthier. And I'm personally team dark brown but then everyone would say they're brothers even more

It's just occurred to me I can't visualise either of their foreheads.

[Birdie]

I never got when people said they looked like brothers to be honest. Their features and complexions are so different! Was it just the similar hairstyles they used to have?

Btw, of course Phil should do whatever he wants with his hair but I'm also team dark brown or soft black. Phil looks a bit like a comic character to me. Not in a bad way, he looks good, but I personally think he'd look even better with more natural hair.

2 more evenings until Gamingmas starts...DINOF tonight, AP tomorrow night??

+1 for fluffy/shaggy & specs Phil

I agree: they don't look related. Phil and Martyn look related. Dan and Phil look like two tall, slim white guys who both have dark hair and fringes. If that's someone's criteria of 'looking like brothers' at least 30% of the UK male population look like D&P's brothers too.

Well they are the same heigth, both are lanky, they have a similar style and they used to have a same haircut, so maybe that's what got people thinking they are brothers.

I don't really have an opinion about Phil's hair, whatever he likes is fine with me. Maybe bit more natural, idk.

i mean, they mayyybe look "hollywood related", like they could possibly be cast as brothers. even that's iffy though, phil's got pretty distinct features. but they 100% don't look like actual brothers.

i definitely agree with katka on hair colour, and agree with everyone else about the shaggy loose quiff and the glasses. maybe i'm just total trash, but visible forehead+glasses is the best look v daddy indeed

[liola]

We were right

[fancybum]

What the hell is he doing uploading at 7, I can’t watch for hours. I truly hope they’re behind every single day of gamingmas and upload past 11 each night.

Anyway, spoilers please. Does the video suck, is it great, is he too loud? Is he drinking alcohol???

[onceinaugust]

Not going to lie, I was feeling tired already, but got actually exhausted listening to his first ramble before he even got to a question....maybe I should nap before trying to get through it all

I had the same thought, like damn what a mouthful.

Overall not a bad video, some funny moments, nothing very memorable for me sadly. I’m also on team #giveusfreshcontent. I don’t hate ISG, but I think it lost it’s charm for me.

And that green tea honestly looked so gross, bleh. Gag.

[flarequake]

I loved that, he’s managing to keep it relatively fresh and giving some good advice amongst all his humour. For the record, I’ve always liked that shirt. It’s nice to have a different drink, good reminder of the time in Spain with the boys. Poor bonsai tree, but good cheeky use of the letterboard.

[Flomy]

I thought the video was a bit boring. Didn't laugh, nothing really funny happened. Best parts in my opinion were the picture of the cat and the dog that people sent him. Oh but I loved the green tea he had! Didn't look very appealing, it did look fancy though.

[rizzo]

The video was a strong 7/10 for me. Gave me a few chuckles. ("Fuck Natalie" in particular because my name is Natali, so I'll probs gif that.)

I enjoyed the bonsai joke and the matcha tea and I found myself wondering, after the ginger hair question, whether he tells Phil to stopping dyeing his hair. (Relevant amirite?)

Cute. I'm now sufficiently satisfied in terms of content until Friday.

[LtrllySusan]

Sorry to say but I found it boring. Not that I was expecting much, I just don't like the ISG format and I don't think I've even watched all videos of the series. I'm glad that he doesn't make these more frequently at least, and I'm looking forward to Gamingmas!

[pastelspectre]

I enjoyed it. It wasn’t good, but it wasn’t bad either. Not very memorable, but I don’t mind. I still enjoy ISG nonetheless.

[alittledizzy]

Even by ISG series standards that gets a 5/10. Resoundingly mediocre, will never watch again - but I didn't hate it or anything. And to be honest knowing we get almost a full month of videos coming up, I'm absolutely okay with a forgettable dinof video. Quantity does actually compensate for quality in this case.

[Secretstanner]

Ahh ISG has never been my favourite type of video. I’m glad we did actually get a video though. I wish that he would answer more serious questions in this series. I know that he never likes to be serious but I would really love good advice for some of these questions instead of them being jokes. Like the question about feeling pressured by her boyfriend, I really like the way he answered it and something a lot of the young audience needs to hear from someone they look up too

Does anyone else wish the ISG would answer more serious topics or do you like the random questions?

[wiccamoody]

i found the video to be quite bland...i mean there were a few points that made me smile widely, but no real laughs or anything. (also dan sucks at matcha, like dude mix it up more so it's not all chunky on the side of your cup...)

i don't mind isg, but i hope he uploads something else before the end of the year because this was really just filler

[SquishPhan]

I’m not the biggest fan of the ISG series, but I enjoyed this one. Made me laugh a couple of times which is really all I want from this series.

Ready for gamingmas to start soon.

[liola]

I can't believe we got this close to Dan giving a serious opinion about dating an internet friend and we got denied

I mean good on that person for getting out of a shitty relationship but ya know

Normal ISG, not my favourite but nice to tide me over until Gamingmas.

“Come see Phil and I on tour!”
Oh. Oh. One time when “me and phil” is appropriate.
