Well that was a fun lunchtime surprise and fricking adorable. So funny to see how they move in the sped-up montages, at one point Phil kept sticking his tongue out to the side. Also ribena quest was cute (with bonus Phil-in-shorts). Dan competing for highest-pitched cheerleading, wow, almost broke the sound barrier again. Just guessing the answers along with them and getting one or two right, it's like watching university challenge, but a ton more fun.

Loved the video of the girl meeting Phil's parents while wearing all the DnP merch too, she tells a good story.

They’ve sat on that video for so. freaking. long. though - it must have been filmed pre-TATINOF USA... (I doubt Dan could screech like that whilst ill(!)

Which begs two questions from me:
1: What else have they got sat around waiting?
2: Do you think they’ve posted something super-cute because of bedroom-gate in the ditl?

Those nerds. Just to distract those airport stalkers, they uploaded the cutest and most adorable DAPG video to date. I love it.

I can't stop smiling. But Dan's shrieks... Waaah. I'm pretty sure they have had noise complains.

I enjoyed watching the video as they seem to have so much fun playing it and the reactions came across as genuine

the impossible quiz is literally the only flash game i ever want to see them play, all of that was adorable, so here for more phil being ridiculously good at it and proud loud Dan

highlights (no timestamps because i already watched it 3 times in a row this is getting out of hand)
- dan making a face when phil promised to not misclick and later on moving the mouse and making them fail
- literally all of the adorable reactions they had when getting things right
- all of the bridge question, all of it, what a blessing
- 'PHIL LESTER YOU'RE A GENIUS' i think that's the loudest dan has ever been and that's saying a lot
- the ribena quest
- 'i'm thirsty af' 'for liquid.... that didn't make it better'
- they sitting closer together when they were concentrating in a question (again bless the bridge question)
- how can a gaming video feel this domestic i don't understand
- this is the cutest video ever I'm gonna make it my new signature as soon as i get home and can gif it

and yeah i also find it interesting that they posted this right after the lowkey no-phano ditl australia, not gonna complain

That video was so cute. Really domestic, too. I loved the teamwork and Dan being immensely proud of Phil. The Ribena run and Dan just handing his glass up made me smile. I also love how close they get to each other when concentrating. :platonic:

How can people tell this video was filmed ages ago?

IQ2 - Dan Game Overs by being clumsy with the mouse.

They're so cute, everything is cute

The video was simple but nice, I liked it, especially "PHIL LESTER, YOU'RE A GENUIS" with Dan excitedly shaking Phil by the shoulders ? does this sound wrong ?

Edit : I also like that we see them carefreely drinking ribena (?) during the gaming vids now

I'm utterly disgusted by their cuteness (and impressed by Phil's ability, that too)

I only have an issue with them, under the spoiler if you don't want to know about the game:
They won't be able to finish the game if they keep using their "skip", seeing that the last question requires you to use ALL of them or it makes you start all over. Yes, it is very cruel, but can you imagine their faces?

I'm finding their gaming channel videos more promising than their individual channel videos? I find less people are critical of these videos than anything else they make. Also I'm liking that Phil seems to be speaking a lot more recently.
But whooo they uploaded
-1.13 "Phil are you listening to me?" and the sassy look at the camera after
-2.00 Phil is always fumbling over basic counting, does anybody else notice that? +Dan's laugh
-2.47 Phil hitting himself in the face in frustration. His fringe also gets messy and I think it looks a little nicer like this until you see at 2.57 he has it back to it pushed weirdly :(
-3.40 Phil dancing
-3.53-4.05 I get now when people mentioning Phil's mannerisms as delicate but sometimes bouncy just by looking at his hands moving
-5.58 Dan screeching. Thanks, Dan.
-7.40 Dan looks so proud
-8.16 Dan's reaction gives me life, his face blushing and his voice screeching
-8.22 Phil's smile is so genuine and happy in disbelief
-8.33 Phil tucking his head into Dan reminds me of when he did that in PINOF :D
-8.53 I think this was an actual genuinely innocent innuendo
-8.55 Phil's underwear visible. Also Phil in shorts. Very important.
-9.52 the distorted zoom on Dan's face
-11.08 Dan's face while drinking ribena
-11.09 "Sonic is an agenda made by the furry community as a gateway for children"
"It's not!" "It is." Very informative, Dan. Thanks.

-12.20 you can see Phil poking his tongue out
-13.55 "I was an editor on the Lost wiki, I should know" *drinks ribena*

what a great video! I love their reactions which, I agree with sweetmm, came across as genuine (well, not some of Dan's but I'm used to it and they don't really bother me), I love the references and throwbacks, like Dan mentioning his being an editor on Lost wiki, love all of it, give me more being real and talking about old memes and videogames (love the game, too, never knew it existed, spent a whole day playing it after the previous video and might have another try this time)

and the bridge question, of course I confess I don't understand at all how Phil's brain works (not only in regards to this game, but in general) and I'm constantly amazed. I think it's now my favourite moment of them together
Dan wants to be understood. Phil just wants to make the viewer smile and sell some backpacks (c) fancybum

This video is too much, I already know I'm going to spend the whole day smiling because of it.
I'm with the people that think this was a distraction for airport things, it was actually the first thing I thought of when I saw the notification.

Same! I'm always amazed at his brain but it there was ever someone mere suited to play and win such random questions in this game that someone is Phil, he truly understands 'random' humor.

(right from the start I kept looking at the sofa to see if there was a wet patch on it where the bird should have pooped lol couldn't find any, maybe it dried, maybe this wasn't the video they were filming)

Today I'm a happy trashcan!

Why am I the only one it seems that doesn't mind Dan's "vocal range?" 8-)

OK, maybe it's because I don't use headphones at home. Still, if Dan isn't getting tweaked / excited, something must be wrong (like he's still recovering?) Which brings me to DITL-A. Dan seemed a bit low-key / subdued in that video (but obviously well pleased by the Koala.) IDK, he was a bit off - or - he's out of "character" (not "acting') in DITL genre videos?

This.
everytime they used a skip I thought "you can't do it everytime or you won't complete it". I can't see them getting to 100 anyway. It gets "impossible" and it will take them longer than just 20 minute episodes

I think he's still sick. Even if he's not got full blown pneumonia anymore, people are shows as recently as the past few days say he sounds congested and he just seems generally very low energy to me.

If they are doing Europe, I hope they give it at least a couple months. Clearly the weeks between the US and Australia weren't enough down time for his health.

Only time it's bothered me was the gaming vid where he full-on screamed about 6 seconds in. That was a video I woke up to having been uploaded, and first watched at 6am.


[offtopic]Not being a drama-llama, but I'm sorry if I upset anyone by speculating about them trying to pull a fast one and leaving Australia under the cover of a cute vid.
You guys know my thoughts on Phlat/airport-stalking, I would never have said anything if I had any kind of concrete info whatsoever. ;)[/offtopic]
