Dan & Phil Part 72: Always a Gaytime

[Flomy]

That video was funny as heck imo, I laughed a lot! Phil was in fire, he was so funny. Loved the little dance he did after he won, it seemed so uncoordinated lol. Also enjoyed the moment where Dan wheeled him away, Phil looked like he expected much more than just that. Would totally watch this again very soon (probably after I hit submit).

[knq]

I can't watch past the first two seconds of the video because I don't understand what Dan is mumbling and even though it DOESN'T MATTER it's driving me crazy. The man should come with subtitles. :/

he says "just moved onto tricky towers" which is the name of the game

and @SHITiveHITtheFANdom thank you both so much. the first few seconds of the video are super cute and everything but I really want to watch the rest.

[flarequake]

That was amazing. I didn’t find it flirty so much as just cheeky, sparky goodness and obnoxious winning. Dan looks stunning in that tshirt again, also with his trimmed hair, and in the checked shorts. Is Phil in his pants? They look a bit long and he had shorts like that before, though they’re not very long.

@missemma there’s a clip under a spoiler tag a page or two back where Phil sounds bunged up and husky.

i loved it, it was so flirty and funny and i needed it so bad!
everything was amazing
and dan looks even more beautiful in this video?

i’m actually rewatching the video as i’m typing this

[greenergrass]

I read some of the posts before watching and didn't think the video would be able to live up to expectations (I usually try to watch before reading comments on here), but damn that was so good. Every time I think they can't possibly get more relaxed and just themselves on camera, they do.

There was so many great moments, but two that stuck out for me are Phil's face/reaction at Dan calling out capitalester at 7:59, and also the super cute moment at 8:33 (Dan's face when Phil bopped his nose was adorable here).

[ratlad]

@autumnhearth shorts or pants, we know he is only wearing one layer, lets be real. the boys will never learn.
i'm gonna say it once more, they were so flirty. and i don't say that very often, sometimes i don't really pick up on flirting, but this was for sure,, intense,, flirting...

[Catallena]

WE GET IT. YOU FUCK.

mood.

In all seriousness, that was a terrific video. Instant rewatch, the perfect funny and happy video after the day I've had. Loved all of the extremely flirty banter, absolutely nothing about that was subtle and I kinda need them in a mood like that more often. For science and stuff.

They really seem to be aware of Capita£ester jokes, especially Dan. If they ever mention the exact word, y'all can consider me deceased. Dead. Over. Done. That will have been my contribution the society, nothing can ever top that anyway.

Now, since Dan has been reblogging shit on Tumblr again... can we expect that damn June video soon? With the almost stand still mode their subcounts are at lately, he really can't afford the hiatus between solo video he has taken imo. Like I know, they're ~busy with tour~ but still. That trailer still needs to see the light of as well, which only makes the long time since his last actual Daniel Howell video more concerning. Casuals don't like waiting 3 months and then getting spon, they'll unsub...

[knq]

I remember when Dan warned us that Phil was secretly a terrible and morally corrupt person. We should have believed him, guys.

Can anyone tell which order the videos were recorded in? Dan's HUBRIS WHY attitude reminds me a lot of the golfing video. I wonder if Dan could do that whole arachnophobia video and then just transition over to tetris and bants, or if they made the arachnophobia video last. They seem to have decided the order they'd edit and publish them in beforehand, as they say what part of the tour they're at in each video. (Though this one they almost missed it. Can't believe the Europe leg of the tour is almost over.)

Not that it needs to be reiterated--but this was cute as fuck. Give me Phil 'bullying' Dan over his word flubs, calling him a 'little weasel' in that tone of voice, and Dan rolling Phil's chair away any day.

Dan better watch out. The og Phil Trash #1 is a smooth talker.

every single day i wake up and thank everyone in my life because phil has a quiff.
he's been styling it so nicely lately, it isn't flat or perfectly straight, it has little beachy waves. i think it's the sea salt spray that does it.
but yeah dan is about to smash that tasty block button on little johnny boy over here.

[pastelspectre]

the new dan vs phil was a blessing and i got such flirty vibes from the video! (when do i not though tbh)

[mysterylovescompany]

i was kinda surprised to watch the newest video and then come here and see lots of people raving about it because i didn't really care for it and probably won't rewatch. as a (the only???) person who hates all or nothing because i find the whole concept ridiculous i thought that the video went downhill after dan suggested it. why not just let it go and play the last round the way phil suggested? oh, i know. to build tension and keep the whole video interesting instead of just the first two thirds. they're partners and dapg is a joint business venture and they probably don't really care who wins etc etc etc... i'm probs just annoyed bc dvp is my least favourite dapg type and, like sparkle, i've been hoping for a new dan video for weeks. or is it months by now???

i really appreciated dan's callout of capitalLester though! and the nose boop ... like what even was that? so natural and cute

[scientia]

All I have to say is:

Phil’s tongue at 11:53

[alittledizzy]

@susannah I do actually think they care who wins, I think they spend enough time gaming off camera that they've got a really pleasant mix of of competitiveness but also taking it in stride when one wins over the other.

Just thought we all needed this moment easily rewatchable:

[mysterylovescompany]

hmm i think my main disappointment is that even if they are naturally competitive in dvp, it never goes anywhere. sure phil won this time and now they're tied again ... but what is the endgame?? they even lampshaded it by saying they've been doing this for three years. but personally i think the suspense is lessened when we don't even know what they're playing for. when they first began dvp on dapg i thought they'd have small tournaments and a finale after a certain period of time, maybe a year (like they did with seasons of the original radio show, when phil got to pour custard on dan), but it's been three and a half years and still nothing.

[knq]

Just thought we all needed this moment easily rewatchable:

I have this thought that it wasn't a coincidence Dan posted a #spon IG story within a few hours of them posting a video with the most explicit call out of CaptiaLester yet. It's such a random connection to make, but dnp support each other and use solidarity to combat anxiety so often it just seems like a thing a good husfriend might do.

I find the call out as funny as the next person but Dan come on now, someone has to keep this business going because you sure ain't posting? (But really take as long as you need)

[LtrllySusan]

I'm coming through with a completely unrelated comment but I was looking for the Antoni DM mention (ignore my white whale post cause I found it).

Right after that comment, Dan talks about Young Minds, and I don't remember us discussing that he said "Young Minds, the charity that I sponsor" At 13:45

I always thought he was an ambassador, i.e. doing free PR for them? Sponsoring implies that money is involved though.
Was this ever discussed?

[lesterchuu]

0:00 - this intro lowkey caught me off-guard because it seemed more like a blooper theyd cut out of the actual video, yes it was still funny but something about it made it feel so organic.
0:15 - that lil cheeky arm slap
0:27 - "forget tetris! this is tetris on a load of drugs!" off to a great start, also +1 to dan being like "why am i married to this little shit"
0:35 - "perfect thing to play with your friends - if you wanna strangle your friends. and not in a kinky way." dan, your kinks are showing
1:00 - "BOOP! (in the most monotone voice) you disappear. finally im free" no real reason, idk why i just thought it was weirdly cute
2:05 - "show me~ that line-ussy~" phil stop. just stop.
2:55 - "i hope the vines choke you in your sleep. you buffoon." "dont choke me daddy" someone pls tell me why im still subscribed to these two
3:46 - "just make friends. do a 69." ok dan
4:17 - "idk what it just did to you" "it FUCKING FUCKED ME PHIL. THAT JUST RUINED MY ENTIRE LIFE." also that tongue laugh from philly boi
4:23 - "im getting there. im close." does phil know what comes out of his mouth sometimes? does he do it on purpose or just plain oblivious? also, gotta love it when dan gives the camera THAT look
4:30 - sounds like phil just caught himself swearing but quickly covered it up by saying "cheese"
5:10 - phil declares that he hates dans abode and he will never bring him sugar nor visit him.
5:18 - "i have my coffee BLACK and NAKED. how i like it. " seems oddly specific there, eh?
5:58 - "soft and neat" "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOBODY WANTED YOU TO SAY THAT" they know EXACTLY what theyre doing
6:00 - "ohmygod im arousing myself right now phil" (talking over each other at the same time) p: "what. that is very......................amazing" d: "im just letting you know. you didnt wanna hear that but, ive got it for you"
7:10 - "nice and smooth, just how she likes it" "shhhhhhhyoure being very creepy right now"
7:30 - thanks for providing us with a new ringtone dan
7:50 - yAAAAASSSSSS CALL HIM OUT DAN, capita£ester is real but also hes your sugar daddy so pls go easy on him.
8:19 - "were learning about what phils real multivations are" "(mocking tone)MuLtIvAtIoNs.....(gets wheeled out)multivATIONS~" put this on my gravestone as my cause of death
8:32 - the nose boop. jesus, not even 15 seconds later, they decide to kill us again.....leT ME BREATHE
9:34 - "could i shove this in the hole here?" "pffffffffyou talk to me about stuff-"
10:23 - theres the scream weve all been waiting for
11:40 - "ohmygod weve been doing this thing for like 3 years" three years of domestic arguments

rewatched it several times now and i still love it. yes, i do feel that they are in a bit of a flirty mood. theres a lot of affectionate touching and teasing so much so that i feel like a third wheel. trust me, ive spent all my high school years third wheeling my friends, ive got the experience. and honestly, this year just feels like everyone in the phandom is their third wheel. i know just how much dnp are aware of their actions and they know us all just as well, so to see how they are leaving things in and not being afraid to the point of censoring themselves makes me feel warm and fuzzy. dan seems really...........chill and content in this video while phil looks about zazzed. (brave of yall not to assume they just had a cheeky snog before filming) both of them are blooming.

Hmm I think I just assumed he misspoke and meant support/promote/ambassador. I don't think it was discussed it that light. I suppose it could be that he sponsors it by not requesting a fee, otherwise if he does directly contribute it'll show up in their financial statements.

oh, i would love a ficlet about that.

[wiccamoody]

They're ridiculous and I love it

[dancy]

I'm someone who usually doesn't really get it when people describe D&P's gaming video as "flirty" (most of the time I'd just use the word "playful") but even I would call this video flirty! Loved seeing Dan calling out Capita£ester too! I hope they manage to get their views up again soon because their latest videos aren't doing as well as about two months ago.

I definitely wasn't expecting a video quite yet, since their schedule seemed to be one gaming video a week but I'm not complaining! Are they leaving some space for a main channel video in the next few days perhaps? I mean, I am really expecting some kind of video from Dan before the Rize liveshow, whether it's the "June video", the II trailer (though as I saw someone pointing out, a short tour spon might not be the best idea as the first DINOF video after a 2-month absence) or something else.

I'm also kinda surprised at the lack of touristy pics from Warsaw, Helsinki and Stockholm. The ones they took in Amsterdam, Mosow and Berlin were lovely but I suppose they may not have had a lot of time to go sightseeing this past week. Phil still needs to release his merch as well (which he said he'd do in June), so he could be working on that.

I had a heart attack thinking they were close where I've been wandering around lmao

Also yes Stockholm is indeed beautiful
