Yeah, I actually didn't read any of the Bour threads. They were super depressing.fancybum wrote:Same, I think I read them around June and I basically just shrugged and thought "I'm probably going to buy the book, they can have my $20 I don't care that much, and the people that do can just... not... buy... it...?" I didn't get it either.alittledizzy wrote:I had the same reaction when backreading through the book/tour announcements. It was painful. I've had people who feel that way try to explain it but on a basic level I still just can't grasp it warranting that much anger. But I came along much close to book release time and didn't have any negative associations with it at all.fancybum wrote:RE: GG threads. I read through most of them before ever making an account (I didn't do them in order though so it's possible some were missed) but for the love of god, for your own well-being, avoid the threads from when TAB/TINOF was announced, everyone lost their damn minds. It really bummed me out reading it back, you'd think D&P had just blown up a damn orphanage.
But because of all that, I've never ever seen the announcement video fake fan. I watched their explanation one in the gaming room, but the actual video, I can't do it for some reason. That thread really just freaked me out.
(Although I do agree that them going silent for 24 hours afterward was probably a bad move that didn't help matters. But they were probably freaked the hell out by the reaction too. Everybody needed a nap I think).
Good find hahafancybum wrote: Skip to 29:30-45 to see this face in action:
I think he's looking at their producer but it still makes me laugh.
edit: Can I just say that Canada has a dumb system with regard to dates? M-D-Y and D-M-Y are both used here with no rhyme or reason, so I was looking for Oct 8 and not Aug 10. Honestly what kind of a system is that??? We play fast and loose with our "best before" dates sometimes, it's madness.
The code for this one... I can'toqua wrote:
Ok it's 6:30 am, i haven't slept at all al night and I have to go to school now and this picture of Phil has me DYING. Honestly I think it is one the funniest things I have ever seenfancybum wrote: Skip to 29:30-45 to see this face in action:

Took a look at this and I'll probably be laughing into the next century. Beautiful.manged wrote:The code for this one... I can'toqua wrote:

i would say mid 2011? (edit: i quickly checked amazingphil and i think late 2011 sounds better) when both he and dan started becoming a lot more popular?Lobster wrote:I have a question for all you analytical D&P geniuses:
When did Phil start pandering to a younger audience?
We all know he was pretty flirty and sometimes a little risque in his early videos, but when did that stop? And was there a specific event we can blame for his more family friendly transition or was it a gradual process?
Apologies if this has been answered somewhere before
I feel like becoming a youtube partner may have played into that, but I can't find any info on when exactly Phil became a partner to see if the timing matches up. I know 2007 is when Youtube launched the program as a pilot with select youtubers, and Shane Dawson applied but was declined in late 2008 because he wasn't big enough yet. Anybody know? And can anyone pinpoint when Phil started toning down the PG+ stuff?Lobster wrote:I have a question for all you analytical D&P geniuses:

I agree with mid to late 2011, yiu can tell by the thumbnails/titles actually, you will see obvious click bait for teens, thumbnail with Robert Pattison or one direction in it, and titles contain words like "gay".trashqueen wrote:i would say mid 2011?

i think he gradually changed when his audience started becoming a lot more younger because youtube started becoming a lot more mainstream
but i'm not one of those very organized people like felucca that can pin point exact events, this is just from the top of my mind and what i can remember from 2011 and i was just a casual fan back then
any phil experts out there want to prove me wrong?
Have those ppl openly outed their relationship or they are just as ambiguous as phan?sweetmm wrote:These people should have taken relationship advise from D&P![]()
is it me or does especially dan's voice seem a little higher than his normal 2012 voice?? i could totally be imagining it, but at least to my knowledge he spoke at least a little lower than that.Vivastian wrote:Interesting video:

ohhh that liveshow, i had forgotten about it for some reason, does anyone know the date it's from? i want to rewatch itkinemacolor wrote:is it me or does especially dan's voice seem a little higher than his normal 2012 voice?? i could totally be imagining it, but at least to my knowledge he spoke at least a little lower than that.Vivastian wrote:Interesting video:
(To make up for Phil's upcoming "tipsy" talk?)is it similar to other times we've known him to be drinking? if it's a quirk it'd be nice to further confirm/deny possible instances of it (ie: that one liveshow with the definitely-not-spiked ribena and the 'do you know what a fucking bowl looks like' quip) maybe it's the slight slurring but it definitely reminds me of that liveshow for some reason.
I don't think zalfie are real power couples, not like phan or pewdiepie/marzia (forgive me of i don't know what they called) way. Alfie doesn't seem to be helping Zoe in anyway. Unlike phan who can basically break everything with their phangirl army wherever they go or like marzipie (I'm just gonna call them that) who are individually accomplished in their own area of expertise.trashqueen wrote:hangrid did, tronnor didn'takui wrote:Have those ppl openly outed their relationship or they are just as ambiguous as phan?sweetmm wrote:These people should have taken relationship advise from D&P![]()
funnily enough i was just (and by just i mean literally 10 minutes ago) checking connor's gg thread to see what was up with him and troye and that's where i found out about the hangrid thing too and my first thought was exactly that↑
phan is still the number one yt power couple zalfie what zalfie
yeah i agree, i was just joking because the media is always calling zalfie the youtube power couple and to me it looks like they might break up any second nowakui wrote:I don't think zalfie are real power couples, not like phan or pewdiepie/marzia (forgive me of i don't know what they called) way.
