Disclaimer - this really should be obvs but just in case this needs explaining: the point of a ‘Roast’ is to be as mean and negative as possible as it shows we all have a sense of humour and don't take ourselves seriously which is important. It also does not in any way convey someone’s actual opinion on something or the truth. This whole thing is a joke where I just desperately attempt to make things rhyme, so if anyone tries to take any of it seriously in any way I'll come to your house and deactivate you. I hope you bump this in the whip.
ok. but like. Everything in this video was based on some amount of fact, he didnt just pull it out of his ass, so ... good try dan

Well holy shit. I cannot believe how far he went with that. And while there were those cringe moments, he also went into things that he has avoided in the past (veganism, sexuality, phan-shipping, etc.) I'm..... :o :shock:

I don't even know where to start but it was soo good? He acknowledge things that he wouldn't touch using a ten feet pole on 2012, and I kinda proud of him for growing up.

Points

-That he is not memorable youtuber anymore because he uploads rarely.

-it got too real when he said his family is not proud of him dropping out (but since there's a disclaimer not to take this seriously, I'm gonna take him being his negative self and it's not real)

-ofc the sexuality bit and acknowledging phan. Is this miracle? totally a furry though

The vid is so entertaining and all I want from Dan. Looking forwards for paragraphs and paragraphs of discussion here. :D

Okay, WHAT THE FLIP JUST HAPPENED. I'm feeling too much at once *sits down*

My jaw dropped at the Phan reference and then the sexuality line? I'm done. I'm so impressed., like what just happened? Is this real life?!

I'm sorry, this is very incoherent but I can't process.

I'm practically shaking... I need to lie down, this is too much

I can't decide if that is the best or crigiest thing I've ever seen.... or both...

I'm surprised he mentioned phan/sexuality/masturbating (that's a new one)! 2012!Dan is rolling in his grave, but character development is cool.

And I think that's the closest to a coming out video we're going to get!

Phew, this is too intense

Friendly neighbourhood pigeon from the website that shall not be named checking in to say WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. Boy went all in. I have a lot of feelings but none of them are words yet so why am I posting, no one knows, it's a mystery. Coming out in a roast yourself challenge is the most dinof thing that I think has ever happened. 3meta5me.

What a time to be alive. Boy gone done short circuited my brain. Ah well, back to lurkdom!

1. I really want the koi thing he was wearing it's so fuckboyish I love it

2. THE SEXUALITY THING. Oh my god. I don't know if he did it to poke fun at the fact that people wonder or he is genuinely confused by it (like that time he google pansexuality or something before answering). I just ???

3. PHIL ON THE BED KAWAII I LAUGHED A LOT OK but also sad somewhat


I dont know if I can watch it again but thats what standed out for me apart from the poodle (v cute)

I also love the originality of that fake tumblr post ''the act of putting bread in a toaster is a penetrative phallic metaphor which shows he supports the patriachy.''

:gg:

A question to my fellow shippers out there, how does this video make you feel? To me it's interesting as I am actually doubting my stance,it's the biggest thing to me for a while that's made me stop and go "huh" yes I know it's one line in a video but I'm now very confused!

Coming out as bi?or gay? Or furry (obvs)?

The vegan line is probably my favourite out of the whole video. He knows people were saying that he only lasted a few weeks and would never be able to carry it through. I feel like I need to watch this 100 more times to be able to come back with something coherent about the whole thing. For now I'll just carry on gushing about how fucking amazing it is. He didn't upload for 2 months and then comes back with this, if the next video was this good then I'm all about him taking 2 months to upload again.

I told you he'd do something good, didn't I

ps. HI DEZZA

I'm on mobile so I can't post the screenshot, but in the part where he rolls out of bed, aren't the shoes in the corner Phil's? Or do they own the same shoes?

Whatever you say about not taking it seriously... I know you're really a furry, no need to deny, Dan.

And ooooh yes! The video was good!!! I just cringed when I clicked play being afraid of what was going to happen, but then it wasn't that bad lol He did a good job in this one and I still can't believe he really went in on some of the things he said, but yay I'm not complaining. Also happy for the Phil on the bed part, thanks DJ Howell

Same, I'm not sure how I'm going to function after this. I'm not sure to describe what I'm feeling right now *wipes away tears and eats ice cream*

it's weird like Phil has obviously referenced phan in his tumblr vids and on tour w the live fanfic thing, but idk i was just surprised he agreed to be a part of that? i guess just bc he's always been a bit more shut off about it
danyul i'm ignoring your disclaimer and reading into every last lyric :D

He would have absolutely broke the internet if this would've happened (and we would've all danced among the debris)

For me I always get prickly about them referring to each other as their 'friend' which I recognise is entirely ridiculous. I guess a year or two ago it didn't bother me as it was standard, but these days they keep it so ambiguous that its just jarring to me.

Not sure how to feel about the masturbation thing as well as that's implying singledom, but I can only assume that was for pure comic effect and fitting the line since its not a shtick they usually go for, and why now?

Other than that it didn't make me feel anything really. I don't take much from the sexuality thing in terms of determining what his sexuality might be as he really just summarised in a very (very) short way his progression from around 2012. And we knew that already. For me I feel pretty confident he's bi so it did nothing to ask or answer any further questions.

Whatever his sexuality may be, I'm fairly confident it would capture someone like Phil, so it doesn't make much difference to me shipping-wise.
