That was so cute and provided me with such an adorable mental image, I would do the same and am surprised this hasn't happened before with them haha

Loved yesterday's video, dont have much to add that others haven't already mentioned, loved all the timestamps guys
I also really loved the licking video so I hope they do some more of those troll-y ones along with their usual choice of games. I'm extremely grateful for their renewed focus and genuine devotion and enjoyment towards the gaming channel since Gamingmas

Edit: its interesting to note that their 1-2 Switch video and Zoella's new video have had almost the same no. of views in less than a day despite the disparity of their subscriber counts and that deppy's audience continues to remain one of the most engaged ;)

after some consideration, as I hate not understanding what I feel, I flipped the video back how it should be (100% recommend), braced myself and rewatched it (twice to make sure). Was much better for me like that, I'm beginning to see why so many of you loved it. Still not my favourite video, though, and some things still seem, I don't know, weird is too strong a word, but, for example, Phil at the beginning (1:07), looking straight to the camera and then talking about how funny the videos demonstrating how to play the mini-games are, seems a bit nervous and then, idk, excited? And also obviously looking to Dan for his reaction for some reason (some other things and a brief dicussion under spoiler)
- Cowboy shipping from Dan, Phil agreeing, then an immediate jump cut
- Phil's reaction face @ 03:35 when he sees the milk thing is just hilarious, ok
- I tried counting gay jokes, but it doesn't get me anywhere, they are not that cringe or, you know, homophobic, to continue a bit the discussion you guys had on the herpes thing, and, as others have said, those jokes do seem kinda natural for them
- I like how Dan's closing his eyes during the milk thing, same. And Phil's face continues to be the most fascinating thing at this point, but as opposed to Dan, he's really trying to keep looking at him while doing the, uhm, milking. Also, I never want to hear Phil's voice form "Just milk that cow, Dan" ever again, sorry, Dan is dying internally at this point (also, same)
- The role-playing cowboy thing is still very painful to watch, probable the worst part for me (and they are, for real, way too comfortable with it, as someone mentioned, guess all that TATINOF practice we've never seen is paying off), but Dan's "you should be" at 6:09 in response to Phil's "I'm scared" is the most sexually charged thing in the whole video, which is saying something (complete with Phil's glance to the camera after another innuendo, thanks :thumb: )
So, I guess, after rewatching this, the strangest part for me, apart from the flipping, was that there was no buffer, Deppy kept making innuendos and sexually charged jokes at and off each other, as opposed to, like, at the food, as in the infamous baking video, or at the game itself, because here the game was very much absent, or, if you want, Deppy were the game, the roleplaying aspect was way more important than reacting to an image (like the "I mounted you" in the Donkey Kong or even the Horse Prince). But it still wasn't 100% natural bants, because the audience was very much present and Deppy, at least at some moments, were very aware of it. What was maybe different is that they made an effort not to be too preoccupied by the possible reaction - or maybe they were so genuinely entertained that they forgot themselves at times.

Then, there's the whole eye-contact thing and the way they addressed the weirdness of it, in general terms, but not in relation to each other. I can't believe that I'm saying it, but maybe the absence of is what also made it weird for me? Idk, really, I'm still very much confused. I mean, I've seen men in different forms of relationship (openly lovers, friends, just colleagues) in entertainment making innuendos at each other because their fans and/or they themselves like it, and I'm not trying to bring back the fanservice discussion, this video doesn't feel like fanservice anyway, but the audience was a third party in the video, I *am* the audience and I really can't understand what reaction I'm supposed to have :?


This is great analysis! I think you have articulated a large part of what feels weird to me about the Switch video: the seeming complete lack of the filter we are still so used to and thus comfortable with. It's outside (some of) our comfort zone--not because we're homophobic, or prudish, or don't enjoy seeing our friends horse around in similar ways, but because we're still getting used to it from Deppy. We all know we've been on a progression, one video at a time, in this Post-Baking Universe, but maybe this particular step was a bit bigger that the others, and so we're caught a bit off balance.

But what if the next steps will be this big as well?!? :o
I wanted to answer it, even if it's from the previous thread, because I just overthink everything so much that I can't ever reply in time, so it seems like I don't engage at all, I swear, I'm a nice person and I want to have conversations :(
As someone who also tends to think too long before saying anything, I can appreciate all of this! :platonic: I particularly appreciate your boldly going back and answering something even when the thread has "moved on".

When he tweets things like that within a day or two of the liveshow I always wonder if he's just doing it so he can have topics to fall back on... I mean, I think he probably did pet the dog, but their throwaway tweets are very strategically aligned with liveshows lately.

(But also, I still want to hear about it, so that's not even really shade at them.)

I finally managed to watch the new video. Humour on point, Phil won, no weird faces from Dan - I am happy. And I usually drool over Phil, but Dan - wow This is the first time I preferred his new haircut over his old one (I did like it, but I liked the other one better)! Also, Dan was not a sore loser this time. He didn't seem bothered at all when Phil won. Well, he let go of the board but apart from that, he was very civil, well done!
eevee wrote:No one asked me but to reply to people asking why we watch dan and phil and if it's all about shippy/phan moments:

I think saying that Dan and Phil's content is only good for watching their relationship progress is a bit of an insult to Dan and Phil. Sure, sometimes Dan's videos are kinda basic (I'm looking at you, How To Survive Exams...) but the truth is that Dan and Phil put a lot of work into what they do and have a good result. Take TATINOF for example...maybe one part of it was cringey but the rest of it was damn well rehearsed and they not only pulled it off, they owned it, served it, blew us all away. They have three channels between the two of them, even though they're pretty much a duo at this point. After TATINOF was released on youtube red they've been uploading extremely frequently, and it's been a few months now. They've maintained a successful youtube career for a very long time, something a lot of OG youtubers completely failed to do.

I could go on, but I just feel strongly that Dan and Phil are more than The Story of Phan. Yes, the story of phan is beautiful, and I am very excited to see how it continues. I ship them with all of my being and I want them to get married and have 10 dogs. But I'm also enjoying the content they're putting their hard work into along the way.
I agree so much! Yes, I did get into them because I was intrigued why people seemed so convinced they are together and why their fans are literally everywhere, but that's not why I stayed.
For me, it's the whole package that makes me love them: amazing chemistry, the mystery of phan, humour I enjoy, content that I like, interesting and likeable personalities and it certainly doesn't hurt that they are good-looking. Take away the mystery of phan and make me a lesbian and I'm pretty sure I'd still enjoy their videos. I don't always need all aspects to enjoy a video, they played plenty of games that I couldn't care less about but their bants made the videos enjoyable anyway. That's why I think that the chemistry they have is an important reason of why I like them, but I also like them on their own, so it's not the only thing that keeps me here.

And another important reason why I like being a fan of them, is that they are people I feel fine supporting on a moral level. They don't seem to use their fans, like some other YouTubers, especially those with a younger fanbase, do.
They do almost everything themselves and even those that are in charge of the D&P shop aren't random people but members of Phil's family. They wrote their book themselves and made it fit their personalities and story. They didn't just do a Q&A tour, they made an actual theatrical stage show and came up with the whole concept on their own, getting help only when they needed it. And I really appreciate that because I can see that they work very hard. To a casual viewer, it might seem like phan is the only reason why they are so popular, but I think that's wrong. It is certainly a factor and there are some people who are here just for that, but I don't think they would be as popular if everything apart from the phan aspect was changed.
They are savvy business people, I know, but their ways of gaining money don't seem questionable to me. It seems to actually matter to them that they make their fans happy and don't make them pay loads of money for nothing. They found this middle ground between earning a lot of money and still staying ethical and I really appreciate that. They do things for charity and don't brag about it. When they mention it, they either do it casually in a ls where only a small part of the phandom can hear it or they use their popularity to raise money, like they did for SU2C. I wish more (business) people would be like that. Not saying they are perfect and never decide to do something just because they get money but I don't believe they would ever do something I'd consider morally wrong.

Why am I rambling again?

You think you are just a chill casual fan until you are listing to the live-show in the background and Dan Howell says your name out loud and you drop your phone in surprise and look around like he is in the room and wants to talk to you. Pathetic. I’m apparently trash. Thanks to Adriana for getting a shout out and giving me a heart attack lol.

sigh recently i have become quite bitter towards dan, like i'm starting to find him really arrogant??

i actually feel like im starting to dislike dan? i dont know.

phil never seems arrogant, but recently dan seems really arrogant and rude.

i used to be pretty much a huge "dan girl" lmao, i feel like his personality has changed recently.

random af but i messaged him on quizup a few weeks ago and he replied (i know its actually his account because bryony follows him, as does every other youtuber, and its connected to their facebooks)

btw before you say privacy etc, his account is public and he has like 3k followers on there and his messages are open. (pls remove this if you dont want people to know about it)

my friends said he was quite rude in his reply, and i'm not sure if this is why my opinion has changed but idk.

i want to love him again and enjoy him as a person like i used to do, but i'm getting really bitter towards him and actually slowly starting to dislike him.

i wish there was a way to change this feeling, but i don't think its going to happen now. i'm really sad about it. i've been following dan since the dailybooth days so this is a real big thing for me.

somebody pls help me

Sadly I think this may be partially true.
I've only really been into Deppy for the past year but even I could see the behaviour shift.
I disliked some of the comments he made in the Pastel Edits video about integrity and some things have been rubbing me the wrong way lately

Personally, I've always found him to act this way, in fact he seems less arrogant to me than he has a few years prior, funny enough. Though, it's all a matter of opinion.

you just said you messaged him on some account of his that's private, messaged him, you didn't give us the details of what you messaged him with or the context, nor what his response was. I mean, you're omitting important information, I would just like to know what was said, before jumping to any further conclusions

That was a pretty nice live show.

Liked Dan being honest about going to the Australian con just because they wanted to go back to Hong Kong.

There are future plans, but for now he is going with the flow. I just want to know what those future plans might be.

Apparently they talk with Marzia about horror relating things. Cute.

Dan ls timestamps. First attempt.
01:40 – Promotes his appearance in Phil’s previous ls on LessAP. Aw promo queen.
02:00 - (emotional&real) Blanket talk, his addiction to walking in blanket around the house. Proceeds to wear a blanket.
04:10 – The neighbours' dog story. Apparently he’s being jumpscared by the dog (stop exaggerating Dan lol it’s a small dog). Called his landlord an awful human being who no one should interact with.
08:30 – “Small black rutty muddy fluffy dog”. Black Norfolk terrier – identified the breed of the neighbors’ dog after looking up pics on google.
09:40 – “Hot doNctor”. Gives advice not to hit on a hot trainer (or doctor, or teacher) as you are another sweaty person for them.
11:16 – “Stay hydrated” explanation. Apparently it’s a theme related to wholesomeness and health. (Liar, I bet it’s an in-joke, pls share Dan).
11:40 – Nintendo shade (they weren’t sent these new consoles and had to beg Nintendo, the company agreed bc D&P knew "that PJ guy").
14:50 - 1-2-Switch video talk, shows off the console and complains about it.
19:52 – Music recs zzz
23:30 – Couldn’t get money to go to concert from parents when he was a teenager – relates to somebody in chat.
24:00 – Golf talk. Seees the appeal of relaxing golf lifestyle.
26:00 – Shared where some of his clothes came from (that he bought during the US tour out of necessity).
26:40 - Been filming today. Didn’t say what.
Riverdale talk. Ships very hard some main characters.
28:58 – Inspirational speech about valuing one’s identity.
29:50 – “I’m telling you my shitty advice” – every liveshow ever honestly.
30:50 – Explains that he sometimes likes things on Tumblr without reading captions (so we don’t read into his likes I suppose). “Here’s a drawing of Dan fisting Phil” - lol good example to bring up Dan.
32:00 – “What in tarnation” meme talk. He is behind any meme that is stupid and sticks.
34:14 – Did an auto-tweet announcing a ls today – apparently he ran out of tweets after 4 yeas of doing ls. (I say it's a lie - he was probably late or forgot.)
34:40 – Ref to his diss track – quotes one line.
34:40 – New dinof – hopefully before next ls. Apparently decided against the video he wanted to do earlier bc he wasn’t ready (?).
35:30 – Says he and Phil cook in turns (!!). Most decisions are made by them via rock-paper-seizers.
36:36 – Is asked about a “rebranding video”. “There’s no rebranding.” “Rebranding is a meme.” ??? Talks about changing his YT banner. Hahaha apparently no rebranding, it was just about the banner design.
TV show talk. Bates Motel appreciation.
38:37 – The reason he and Phil can’t promise to go to any conventions is bc they can’t commit to timing.
They agreed to the Australia convention – bc they wanted an excuse to go to Hong Kong. People on here called it!
41:15 – “Where’s Phil?” – “Do not know.”
41:20 – Oscars talk. Phil, Phil, Phil. Phil. Apparently they are having a creepshot war since the cereal incident tweet. (I’d call it cute candid pic war.)
“Ideal set of awards” at Oscars in his opinion. Very passionate Oscars talk, speaks about the importance of Moonlight.
47:25 – New videos on the way. Sims promo.
48:00 – Explains why it’s easier for them to put out more gaming than main channel videos (bc he’s too serious and controlling about dinof). Apparently “they don’t take away from main channel content”. Suuure keep saying that.
50:20 – No one passed him the ball at PE at school.
51:40 – “He and Phil” are going to watch Hamilton when it comes to UK.
52:52 – Furry talk. Furries are valid. “Big purple fox”. Ok
55:00 – Is asked about the future. “There’s future projects, but going with the flow”. Apparently he has dreams about what he wants to do.
55:30 - “More Troye in my life is always a good thing”.
56:00 - Witch the movie talk. Horror movies discussion. He and Phil, and Marzia are horror movie enthusiasts (and they’ve had nerdy conversations about them).
59:15 - Had Lebanese curry today for dinner. Not hungry Dan = bearable liveshow.
59:30 – Shoutout to new viewers on all channels.
Goes to dinner next Tuesday, but will try to be on time for the ls.

its a quiz app, other people have played with him on there, if you just search:

from:danisnotonfire quizup

on twitter, you can see he played against some people in 2014. so i didn't like stalk a private account of his to message him.

i originally messaged him on there in december 2016 but he didnt reply until feb, never in my life did i think he would reply.

i just wrote something stupid like

me: omg your picture is terrifying what
me: also dan you should totally follow me on tumblr, i post gr8 memes lmao *insert tumblr address here* thank u!!

then 2 months later

dan: nah
me: omg are you actually replying
dan: what does it look like
me: omg i never thought you would see it im sorry haha
dan: girl why you still got this dusty app anyway

*end of conversation*

i did message him a bit after that just to test if he would reply again, but he didnt / hasnt yet.

i dont know if i should be posting about it here, im worried he lurks here and hes going to hate me more than he already does idk and now hes going to know who i am ahhh im so worried

I'm not sure what you want to hear. My favorite response to this was by Jack Septiceye in one of his blogs. He said that over the years (in this case many years) people change. Youtubers change, content changes, and most importantly, YOU change. It's possibly you just have different priorities and values now than you did 8-10 years ago. So does he. As far as I can tell Dan has always been a little shit, but I accept that and still like him because he is A. still figuring himself out, hes only 26 let a guy live. and B. He kinda sorta owns up to things, even if it takes him a decade to do so. he is only just now barely starting to admit that maybe he had issues when he was starting out, and even in his liveshow today he mentioned that he probably needs to see a therapist. He was kinda joking, but he really does. (everyone does IMO)

I have a feeling 35 year old Dan will look back at 25 year old Dan and shake his head and tsk and ask who he was trying to impress so hard. So don't worry about it. Enjoy the cute content, and don't have him as a role model. He's just as confused and trying to fake his way through the world as the rest of us.

**Added now that there is new info: I don't think that was rude at all...IF it even was him (might not be, could be hacked) Don't take it so seriously. In addition he is socially challenged and awkward, he could be trying to be friendly/funny and just failing really hard lol.

i actually feel like im starting to dislike dan? i dont know.

phil never seems arrogant, but recently dan seems really arrogant and rude.

i used to be pretty much a huge "dan girl" lmao, i feel like his personality has changed recently.

random af but i messaged him on quizup a few weeks ago and he replied (i know its actually his account because bryony follows him, as does every other youtuber, and its connected to their facebooks)

btw before you say privacy etc, his account is public and he has like 3k followers on there and his messages are open. (pls remove this if you dont want people to know about it)

my friends said he was quite rude in his reply, and i'm not sure if this is why my opinion has changed but idk.

i want to love him again and enjoy him as a person like i used to do, but i'm getting really bitter towards him and actually slowly starting to dislike him.

i wish there was a way to change this feeling, but i don't think its going to happen now. i'm really sad about it. i've been following dan since the dailybooth days so this is a real big thing for me.

somebody pls help me
I'm not sure what you want to hear. My favorite response to this was by Jack Septiceye in one of his blogs. He said that over the years (in this case many years) people change. Youtubers change, content changes, and most importantly, YOU change. It's possibly you just have different priorities and values now than you did 8-10 years ago. So does he. As far as I can tell Dan has always been a little shit, but I accept that and still like him because he is A. still figuring himself out, hes only 26 let a guy live. and B. He kinda sorta owns up to things, even if it takes him a decade to do so. he is only just now barely starting to admit that maybe he had issues when he was starting out, and even in his liveshow today he mentioned that he probably needs to see a therapist. He was kinda joking, but he really does. (everyone does IMO)

i didn't enjoy this ls as much as the one two weeks ago, it wasn't very interesting and it had a slight negative vibe that i can't rly explain

would anybody consider the moment dan talked about phanart today an anti-phan moment?
someone messaged him saying he liked phanart on tumblr and he denied knowing it was phanart because he didn't read the caption and when he did it was too late. i don't consider it an anti moment as such but it could've easily been ignored in my opinion, i rolled my eyes a little

We don't delete posts. We would remove any part of a post that would cause a loss of privacy or incite harassment, but since this is something Dan has publicly talked about, there's nothing we can do.
