Dan & Phil Part 5: Dan & Phil Lester

wonderluust · Sat Apr 16, 2016 1:45 am

what an absolute gem of a video. everything i loved about their last collab and more ;; dan and louise are both hilarious people and they bounce off each other so well it’s glorious. tbh the actual events aren’t anything out of the ordinary really, but both of them are such great storytellers the 30 mins just flew by.

obv it’s a 30 min story, so there weren’t jump cuts and punchlines thrown in your face at supersonic speeds. but i think part of the charm of the video was how unfiltered and intimate it seemed with the drawn out story telling. it wasn’t really the events that were funny, it was the way they slowly built it up and framed it that made it engaging and fun to watch. and i think that would have been lost by just splicing together the important parts.

ik the whole story time thing has been beaten to death by the beauty gurus of youtube with all the clickbait but i personally love the concept of youtubers just turning on the camera and telling an interesting story about their lives. it’s the kind of authentic entertainment that’s uniquely youtube

dan and louise’s laughing fit at the end was really something else lmao. dan might be too much of a hermit to hang out with people other than phil regularly, but you can really tell dan and louise genuinely have so much fun together. love it

You all complain about AP persona (don't get me wrong I would also be happy if he dropped it) but I hate Dan's persona more. His overplaying and screaming is something that I will never find funny and it is getting worse and worse. I don't hate his videos or him but I never get myself to rewatch them. And imo their first awkward moments were better this at least for me wasn't that funny maybe more cringey.

Dan and Louise are two really loud people and I actually love the collabs Louise did just with Phil during Christmas 2013. They also have great chemistry just being the two of them and for me definitely more enjoyable.
thank you so much for this
dan wasnt like that last year. He was still loud and his dinof brand is still the same. Watch one of the first gaming videos and one of the the most recent ones and notice the difference. He lost everything that made him real (even the annoying parts) and now he is like a machine programmed to react and talk. please someone explain to me what happened to him?? i can still enjoy those old videos but he really makes me dislike the new ones and he literally ruins the experience for me. Its not like i want to dislike him.Even his voice, not the sound of it or the screaming but his tone (that try hard presenter voice) now is different and unnatural.

i'm sorry i just had to

ok but (more) seriously, i enjoy reading your posts because it's interesting how you have such a different view of dan, i find him a lot more real and comfortable on his recent videos, especially this last collab with louise, it's weird that someone can watch the same thing and see something completely different

edit: (i should read the new posts before clicking submit)

exactly, i've been meaning to say this but words were failing me, this is exactly i loved this video so much

you mean you watch his meme or his baby videos or even dil or liveshows and see dan more real and comfortable???

for me dan has become a character

his need to make everything sexual in a disturbing way. i love a good innuendo or a sneeky comment and a wink but he is crossing the line lately. Is it him being comfortable. When will he start being the creepy guy

omg, this is why i should check his channel before saying things

definitely not the baby videos or the meme one, i was thinking about the louise collab, undertale, some other random gaming videos and maybe even dil for moments, and yeah, his liveshows

edit: oh and the anime spon, how could i forget, it was scripted so it was obviously very dinofy but still, the 27 references to 'cute boys' point in the 'more comfortable being himself' direction to me

Found this gem of a screenshot on Tumblr.

Never has Dan been so #relatable to me

no offense but you literally just described phil. add a creepy denial of understanding what's being said and you've described every video he's been in lately
like... that isn't a dan issue, it's a d+p issue

i agree about the cute boys and his sexuality and good for him..
but i feel like thats all there is to dan at this point

i really disagree w that. despite phil being my sunshine, i get that vibe much stronger off of him. he'll turn random things into a dirty joke, instead of actually being funny.. it gets annoying at times. he can be so hilarious to me, just he needs to chill with every second line being an innuendo.

So much to over analyze. I'm a glutton for this shit! You might even call me a butterglutton. fml tbh.

daphenaxa wrote:"he must have thought Phil was my nephew or something" what the fuck was that about????
This! This definitely stuck out to me. Like.... As opposed to what, Dan? And why Phil? Was Dean not a masculine figure there? It was a strange and insightful comment.

I'm not sure but I think maybe it was at the part of the story where just the three of them were at the table waiting for the others? and I don't think he meant much by nephew other than the fact that he just felt somewhat like the authoritative figure at the table, just like the 'older' one who orders stuff (such as the dad or uncle or whatever but idek I don't really think he was thinking before speaking there lol, I mean... 'nephew' really Dan?

)

also danphil333 I thought the innuendos were still on the funny side, and I think Louise is just as bad if not worse for those so they came out in full force in these collabs. personally I find them pretty funny.

yes the innuendos on their videos are still funny. Dont get me wrong i love them, really.
but if i am to go to his twitter and combine everything from the last couple of weeks it makes me uncomfortable (esp thinking about his fanbase)

You both seem to just have very extreme opinions of Dan and Phil, respectively. I think the midway ground between both of your viewpoints is a lot closer to what most everyone else sees in them. Dan crosses the line with a wink and a nudge and it's sometimes too much, but not that bad. And Phil throws out the random innuendo that sometimes verges on creepy, but it's also not that bad.

Okay, true. I think that this is a good description of how they innuendo. I find it annoying when Dan does it sometimes, and verging on creepy when Phil does it sometimes.

Also, I get that some people might find this video too long and boring, bust mostly I just really like how warm and fuzzy Dan and Louise are. I feel like Dan feels secure around her.

i find phils really creepy at times tbh. while dans consistently done that, and the overall tone of his channel is already not really child friendly, phil is intent on his videos being suitable for anyone. i don't like spaces meant to be child friendly and welcoming being laced with innuendos and constant references to his crotch, especially when the more extreme ones are blown off like nothing because he's a precious child who doesn't even understand that lol what's a boob haha
dans more explicit in his mentions and it suits the overall tone he claims to and always had had on his channel, it's always been too much since the 'subscribe for free secks' and having videos flagged back in 09/10. he toned it down for a period, but his channel is still a suitable place for that kind of thing

Nothing to add, just want to express my to trashqueen's signature.

Putting ramblings on spoiler because it has nothing to do with anything.

you mean the anakin tweet? well that type of sexual references are the current trend on tumblr so to me that's just him keeping up with the kids, i don't think any of them were shocked

i think their most bold sexual references are always subtle and blink and you'll miss it, which is great because we get laugh but it goes way over the kids heads

i also don't give a fuck about children and want them both to entertain me so yeah there's that

i feel like most of phils innuendos can go unnoticed by the children that dont really need to understand them. They get blown out of propotion by those who believe they know more than phil himself

Dan is so explicit as you said that it will make those kids go looking for stuff and googling. i am like nooo my little child you dont have to know yet....Not that its necessary a bad thing. They will have to learn eventually. Their core fanbase, the people that care enough is the same to me. I dont mind which channel the comment is coming from(and i dont remember anything that inappropriate on AP)

i sound like the mother of an 8year old, No who cares about those kids. Give me more subtle sneaky comments

Dan has a really internet-influenced humor, which is terribly -as i have experienced myself- desensitize to anything either too sexual, too morbid, too innuendo-y. Kinda like 13 year old boy humor.

Nowadays it's just about the same, if you just go through the blogs he follows on tumblr, you'll see things 10 times worse than "force choke me dad"; i literally reblogged a guy playing guitar with his penis a few months ago.

That you don't get the humor, doesn't mean he has become "a character", it's just the way internet-humor works, you quote memes, reference vines and rejoice on the fact that someone gets your reference, so I completely understand when people just go "huh?" when he says incredibly kinky things or direct sexual comments. Look at it this way, next months fucking raccoons are gonna be funny and it's all he's gonna talk about, because it's just the way it works lol.

Daddy kink, Furries, Anime boys, kinkshaming, aggresively sexual comments (legit my best friend just texted me "mm zac efron daddy fuck me with a)hainsaw") it's just things everyone laughs about even if theyre not from the Phandom, so I really wouldn't give it much of a thought.

oh yeah totally get that. Maybe its my age, maybe its because dan is my age i expect different things from him and i get a 13 year old teenager. Does dan like memes that much??? Does he really care about capitalizing the first letter or whatever?? Is tumblr so important to him not wanting to offend the tumblr community

thats what i love about phil sometimes. He is so disconnected with pop culture. The fact that he doesnt know all 1D member names and hates rihanna. I relate

I enjoyed the stuff they were talking about in Louise's video, but I don't like the fact they talk over each other

Phil should not be in it as I get the vibe he was not in his comfort zone

I watched DINOF video as I wanted to see whether there was any mention of Phil; I was not disappointed

However the video was a mess to me as they are both too loud and talked over each other constantly and the stuff they found awkward/funny are normal situations for almost everyone (except for Louise's breakdown when they surprised her).

lol i am around dan's age too and i think it's just certain type of people who are rly into pop culture bc of different reasons; escapism, belonging, distraction, u name it.

im just rly glad dan isnt into rupaul's drag race oh boy that would certainly annoy you.

SO MUCH STAN WARS!!! What really frustrates me about the phandom is that we constantly have to pick on one or the other. Deppy love each other yet we are always fighting about who is better (jaej/danphil333

). There are extremes on both sides like alittledizzy said but why can't we let go of our biases and not drag anyone without actual reason. I'm not saying your not subjected to your own opinions but within limits. Hating and trying to find things wrong when nothing is isn't really healthy. This forum is (usually) filled with positivity and love and we should keep it that way.

I like Phil but I also adore Dan (when hes not talking over Phil) and I really enjoyed his video. He really has great chemistry with Louis because they bounce off each other really well. The beginning didn't flow but it got better and the stories were pretty great. I liked it better than the phan collab with Louis. Now we wait for Phil's video, I enjoyed his christmas one with Louis so I'm sure I'll like what they come out with!!
