Are trash talk shows just as bad in all corners of the world?

So did they finally mount one of the tvs in their flat, or are they/is Phil not at home?

[offtopic]This is off-topic, but I've been wondering this for a while. Are there any plans to make a Dan and Phil FAQ thread? I only ask because the one on the other website was a really good way to organize all the major, important Dan and Phil related topics, especially for newcomers. I would be willing to help with any FAQ pages if needed, but I don't know if any are even in the works.[/offtopic]

Phil wasn't at home for sure when this was taken. If you up the brightness on your screen and look at the bottom of the screen, you can see a reflection of two tables and the one on the left has chopsticks on it, which makes me think the photo was taken a few days ago at a restaurant or something.
i have way too much free time on my hands if I had time to notice all of that.

the body pillow reaction is not overwhelmingly surprising to me. There's a best buy (i think?) ad airing on TV right now, I don't know it word for word but this is the premise: the characters are two men, one shorter with worse hair and one taller and buffer. The taller one is like "don't you wanna get girls at school, you need these cool new gadgets" and he points out an anime body pillow the shorter guy owns and calls it "creepy" and the only line the shorter guy gets is that "it's anime" and the taller guy goes "and ana may never talk to you again if she sees it" so that just goes to show you that the popular opinion is that anime is weird or even "creepy" sad to see ads like this so intolerant of different opinions, likes, and cultures but whatever. Bottom line is I'm not surprised people don't like the body pillow.

Phil's tweet about biting his lip is really cute to me

wtf is that tweet about someone pooing in the fridge???? nasty. Love the analysis about the location of the tweet tho, that's my IDB!

Wait, why would they be watching Jeremy Kyle at 9 am in a Japanese restaurant?

I don't think they were there this morning. Are restaurants that don't serve breakfast even opened before 1130 am? That's why I think it was likely taken yesterday or a few days ago and Phil just found it in his photos/tweet drafts.
Also here's the photo brightened incase people can't see the tables.

yeah i agree a low opinion of anime is popular, but what bothered me was the 'fag' and similar insults. You can comment that it's weird someone has a 'weebo body pillow' without dragging homophobia into it imo *sigh*. Yeah I agree it's not really surprising.


I see lots of people want Dan and Phil to host this Great British Bake Off thing. I don't watch it myself, but if Dan and Phil were on it I would Do you guys think they might actually be considered for it if Channel 4 see there is enough online support? And is the kind of thing you think would suit ?

Yeah - I agree I don't think it was from this morning, they always delay things. But Jeremy Kyle airs between 9 and 10 am in the UK. Hmmm. Why so confusing, boys.

to me it just looks like some sort of cable, like these double ones, and the color of the stand really looks like the one in Phil's room (sorry!)

Where are you seeing the stand? What threw me off was not actually seeing one.

Oh yeah but that's youtube comments for ya. I agree that the bigotry in youtube comments is upsetting ): I just meant that I wasn't surprised is all. But I agree that there's no need for homphobia but what cha gonna do.

it looks like the wall but I think that's due to the angle? idk, I could be very wrong also, that's just what I saw and interpreted from the pic

is there any tv website that can say when this episode was aired?

Itv2 repeat them loads throughout the day, it could easily be a late lunch

Source: there's one on right now

Also, in regards to being worried what comments say about TATINOF I wouldn't be too worried, if it's behind a paywall then the only people watching it really will be fans or at least casual fans, I can't see it being something that would necessarily catch the eye of a neutral person?

Actually, after reading your comment LurkingTrash I went and found a photo of the TV setup in Phils room (honestly, thank God for Caspar and Hazel filming the other side of phil's room this year. That made the room set up easy to find.) and it looks like you're right! It is the angle that the photo is taken. What threw me off was that and the two sides that looked like two white tables, but that's really it's just the lighting from the room in back of the tv.
Oh well, it was fun to actually try and debunk something even though it was nothing!

From Felix's video today (about videos he's deleted) @ 7:25 - "This is a video I did just for Marzia [dated Jul 2011], somehow some other people found it. We used to send video messages, that's a good memory."

Just a hunch other people's memories of private video messaging aren't so fondly remembered. Has nothing to do with anything, but just noting it as I've seen some people being sceptical of that being a thing anybody did with Youtube videos. Yeah, it happened.

I forgot about caspar and hazel, I kept googling 'amazing phil room, amazingphil room tv' to find it
It is fun, I'm very impressed with the idea of brightening the image to look at it, I would never have thought about it. Honestly, the only thing that didn't make me 100% convinced of your theory was the size of the chopsticks, they looked a bit thin, it was only after googling for his room that I thought it might be the one there.

Oh my god that would be hilarious I doubt they would be actually seriously considered but (I would pay good money to see that though )

That would be great! I've only seen a few episodes online but it's a super cute show. I would love to work on the set for the sole purpose of eating leftovers.
That said, I'm not British so I can't say for sure, but I know its such a massive thing there, so I don't know if they'd be considered right/mainstream enough to host it. I think they'd be funny though, and they are a duo who enjoy baking and a good innuendo and obviously have hosting experience.

OT: This video is hilarious, why do I love him so much these days? I really like when he talks about his beginnings as a youtuber (like the one reacting to his old videos he did for 45mil subs). You can see that he's proud of what he's achieved but at the same time he manages to be really humble and non arrogant without resenting to self-depreciation humor like so many others

Anywaay, this is exactly what I've been thinking... These people's lives revolves around youtube and video making, why would it be strange to use it for private purposes as well. When you do something professionally that you love, you'll work on "stupid" things in your free time or use it to have fun with your friends/family (guess everybody working in creative areas as well will agree).

Positive Dan and Phil mention and opinions at 0:30 and 4:14 (pretty minimal but meh I'm bored and positivity is nice). Also I like how he put them in the thumbnail even though he talks about them for like 30 seconds lol

OT: mio I love Pewdiepie recently too, might be my fave youtuber atm

Sort Of Off-Topic: Are Dan and Phil not-so-secretly Jeremy Kyle fans?

I'm so glad Dan found that one claim to fame.

Shit son, this forum wouldn't even exist if it weren't for Jezza. All hail Jeremy. Praise be to Graham.

[offtopic]He's kinda weird but Jeremy Kyle was at Manchester pride a few weeks ago and was caught on camera giving bare shit to a bunch of bigoted religious protesters. Yes Jeremy.[/offtopic]

Phil mentions them watching the Jeremy Kyle show in the book, I think. He didn't say much, but they filmed in Manchester so it was nearby and he was clearly interested in TV anyway. Such a cringefest, though.
