I enjoyed that more than i thought i would.

I wonder if Phil read the comments on the last sims vid telling them to transform the neighbor's stuff, or just though of it himself. this vid seems to be recorded before the golf one.

Team shaved sides just checking in here. Yes dan, love your new haircut, those shaved sides are giving me life.

Really enjoyed the sims video. I loved Phil being all mischievous and wanting to cause drama and egging Dan on. It was nice that they did something Phil wanted to do for a change. I watched Dans laughing at the bed catching fire about 5 times because it genuinely made me laugh too! Good video!

I think that was my favorite sims video I was laughing the whole time they were at eliza's house. I get bored so easily in their sims videos, I LOVE when they go around and just f shit up In one of phil's old videos he says he would throw parties in the sims and then delete all the doors so people would end up all dying, it seems he's still the same destructive force.

I'm so glad they actually transformed the bed, dan always puts a stop to any of the weird things phil wants to do in the sims Im so glad he didn't do that this time. The bed setting on fire is just ace.

Also Dan's hair Alls I've got to say bout that.

Omg psychic Phil strikes again at 13:57.

"She's trolling the forums."

UM

Or this is Phil breaking the fourth wall and is trolling us because he lurks and is letting us know he lurks but he knows 'psychic Phil' is a thing and knows there was a troll so HE'S now trolling the forums...

Loved the new video, laughed out loud so many times, they were so cheerful and domestic and the whole show of whining Dan does before he eventually gives in to Phil is just
Couldn't help but be surprised and yet not at the 'we love the cock' reiteration from Dan with a cheeky silent smile from Phil they're not even trying to be subtle
Its hilarious to see how every time someone young/attractive tries to visit or talk to them, they automatically assume untoward advances and unanimously decide to slam the figurative door in their face
Phil was brilliant, I'm so excited we're getting to see his evil villain shine through (really kind sweet people irl tend to vent through harmless deviousness virtually imo )

Yayay for their upload schedule and less reserved interactions this year

I'm always suspicious of those accounts who always lurk on this thread but never post. I'm onto you

i'm too tired to say much more than that i loved the video, but the channel descriptions actually got me thinking how much of the "notonfire" is going to stick if dan really rebrands to dan howell. is he just going to change his channel name? what about the twitter and tumblr accounts, the tumblr theme, danisnotinteresting, the yt headers, and, well, the channel descriptions in the gaming videos? changing everything sounds like a massive junction tbh. it's all just speculation of course but now i'm really curious to see what happens.

lmao I loved this, they should go crazy with The Sims more often tbh

Commentary:

- "We like the cock." - Phil Lester, 2017
- Dan repeats that they like the cock.
- I'm glad Draw Phil Naked died tbh.
- "A BOOK?" was also my reaction on the 26th of March 2015.
- Phil is very passionate about semicolons, Dan smiles at Phil being a nerd
- "I want to take her sweater off! ..in a friendly way.." Uhm. :wtf:
- 'This is a Gucci jumper, do not splash me' Why do I feel like Dan has said shit like this when wearing his own designer potato sacks?
- Today in words Phil shouldn't say: nugs is the new thicc.
- At least give the woman a tip for dealing with bratty Dab :')
- Phil wants none of this nuclear family shit and wants to fuck shit up. It's disturbing yet brilliant.
- Ass Career.
- "We pissed off Bob!" "Good." lmao Phil slays me.
- Phil is actually evil. Fallen angel bean.
- Ohhh I understand the title of the video now
- My heart stopped when Dan said 'I know our audience is emotionally attached to this apartment but-' for a hot milisecond there I thought they were gonna announce moving right there and then. Don't play me like that you assholes. But why did he say it like that tho

As the owner of a small child you can tell that it's obvious the boys have little to no knowledge of the behaviours of little ones -just stop dancing you weirdo- trust me, the last thing on a toddlers mind is to stop doing the thing that is upsetting them! Or no knowledge in what "up" is, when you've been asked 300 times before breakfast you won't ever forget what "up" is.

[offtopic]On the plus side my 2 year old can now say both dan and Phil so parenting goals reached much to the chagrin of auntie kathrynxjane as she can't say Kath [/offtopic]

I imagine he'll go the same route Louise did in terms of the naming part of branding, if not the content itself. She didn't 100% ditch "sprinkle of glitter" but she just started incorporating Louise Pentland into more and more stuff, so that she kind of has the option of going either route and it won't seem strange or out of the ordinary, but it also doesn't invalidate all the merch/product lines she has that use Sprinkle of Glitter.

timestamps, "DIL BURNS THE PANCAKES: Sims 4 #36" edition
sorry for two posts within like an hour of each other

:10—Sponning their last video. Also this is such a weird sidebar but Dan has really nice eyebrows?? Like REALLY nice eyebrows I want to start a fanclub dedicated to Dan’s eyebrows
:40—Phil’s laugh after a jumpcut Forget the Dan eyebrow fanclub I’m joining the Phil’s laugh fanclub.
:51—Dan: “Wot.”
1:14—Dan’s delayed reaction: “We like the cock everyone.” He sounds so unamused I love it
1:16—Dan is so sentimental
1:34—I’m so excited they’re using the draw phil naked music. I get why he stopped, it would be weird for a 30 year old to have his teenage fans submitting classy naked pics of him, but that doesn’t make me any less nostalgic.
2:20—Phil’s SO disappointed about the transformation I just can’t deal.
3:00—Phil, realizing a number of his audience members are cramming to finish college applications, helps them correct sentence form. The Guardian may be dumping on zoella for “declining teenage literacy” (*sigh*) but they could never accuse that of phil
3:44—Calming Phil: “yeeeeeeeaaas”
5:00—self-aware phil admits his posture is horrible
5:35—Their skin molecules touched
5:56—Phil calls the Sims developers “sneaky weasels.” this is why the Sims don’t offer them spon deals
6:00—Dan: “Tricksty.”
6:31—Phil’s delivery of the Banana line makes me think banana’s a euphemism for something
6:35—Dan: “I like trains” I’m going to pretend this is a tomska reference because I want to think they’re closer friends than they actually probably are
7:26—The way they are disgustingly fond of Dab proves they would be those ridiculously supportive parents 9:51—Dude, Philly, don’t bring up cersi lanister I’m still bitter about her killing my #1 celebrity crush
10:08—Phil: “I don’t want her here.” Wow Phil, you’re such a great host.
11:04—They sound like the twins from the shining.
11:27—Editing on point, zooming in a little each time Dan bangs on the table and DESTROYS MY EARs
13:20—Dan’s worry about being polite when they’re literally about to destroy the pancake house.
15:32—Dan: “It’s fine we know each other.” Apparently Dan doesn’t mind getting wet and nude in front of casual friends.
17:50—Dan secretly likes the Eliza friendship ADMIT IT DAN YOU HAVE FRIENDS
18:09—Dan: “You made your bed, now sit in it.” Dan. Dan. Dan. That ain’t the expression.
19:00—They just nope out of there after the fire. Such good Samaritans.
19:10—Dan’s laughter. I remember Dan once said his genuine laughter is the quiet gasping kind of thing and I just find this so adorable.
21:35—Moving mention. I’m not attached to this apartment go ahead and move you complain enough about your current place. MOVE MOVE TO A CUTE HOUSE TOGETHER I DON’T CARE IF YOU MISS VIDCON AS LONG AS IT’S BECAUSE YOU’RE BUSY DECORATING YOUR NEW PLACE
23:32—only 19 seconds of endcard, I’m proud of them

Danispeerpressured and AmazingPyromaniac

DAN’S HAIR THO I am team no shaved sides but I’m making an exception as long as his hair is curly perfection I’m trash now.

I have a habit of writing timestamps during my office hours, I even had a student come in today and I literally rushed through helping her so I could gush about this video. I’m not tenured, I’m not done with my dissertation, I’m a terrible person who ignores her own responsibilities


[offtopic]After Duncan was mentioned I went down a rabbit hole and watched so many of his videos and now I'm wondering how he and deppy met. his videos are kind of like a mostly un-problematic better version of current pewdiepie imo i feel dirty saying that but I dont know who else to compare him to, and Duncan is really different from deppy's material. He kind of seems like what Dan wishes his channel would be, which I have no facts to back this up so idk why i'm thinking this...but anyway, Duncan doesn't have his own thread and he's not in the FAQ and he just seems like a mystery to me, i can't figure out his (and mimei's) relationship with The Deps they're such an interesting pairing. idk where I'm even going with this.[/offtopic]

Welp when I first saw the youtube notif I literally thought they were gonna do something about pancake day in the sims anyway really enjoyed the video! Quite liking dab in the toddler stage

I'd be interested in a Duncan and Mimei thread
Yeah, did they meet at Vidcon or did Deppy approach them online? Did they know about them before booking to go to Japan, or did they book it and then conveniently go looking for English-speaking YouTubers in Japan? (gasp)

I wish I'd been a fan of PDR longer, I was actually on my year abroad IN JAPAN when Dan and Phil went, and I didn't hear of PDR until after I went home. Sweet sweet tears of unfathomable sadness.

They first met IRL in 2014 when went to Japan but Phil and Duncan actually go far back and were internet friends first, ever since the early days of YouTube. Duncan wasn't even known as PDR-san yet but just had a small (English) channel called 'mygirlhiro'. If you go back to that channel you see Phil listed in the Featured Channel sidebar. Phil often befriended other YouTubers and subscribers that he clicked with, and Duncan was one of those people. I guess he was looking for people to speak English with and stuff. All of Phil's friends automatically became Dan's when they started being inseparable and they remained in contact over the years (I remember Phil congratulating D&M on their marriage on Twitter which is how I first found them and they feature in Phil's Toilet Tag video). Duncan met Mimei in the comment section of an AmazingPhil video sometime after Phil met Dan. Mimei is a little bit of a phangirl tbh, people found phanart in her Tumblr likes when they were public during Japhan. In her defense, I don't think she thought she would ever actually meet them or anything like that

Dan and Duncan are indeed quite similar in video style and humor. Also in looks, which is funny considering their age difference. Before Japhan when Mimei and Duncan became largely known in the phandom, Duncan used to get a lot of 'lol it's an asian danisnotonfire!' comments actually.

...Phil was an angel who fell because he got drunk on his power. Living on Earth as a human is his punishment, but quite unfortunately (or fortunately), he met a kid named Dan Howell who is now powering his urges, and he's now slowly getting back into power. Being pyschic is one of them, and also the ability to control the minds of his fans. Soon, Dan will not be enough for him, and all he can do to be immortal is to kill people and eat their life source. Some people say that he's a vampire, but only Phil knows what he actually is - a fallen angel - and he'll probably kill me for getting his secret out. Good luck.
(...I'm just joking, obvs.)

Did anyone else notice that they spelled "sentence" wrong in their example of how to use semicolons? Was that on purpose? (random comment: I LOVE semicolons).

The video was funny and entertaining, but I think I liked the previous one more.

dontpanic, love the timestamps!!

I am actually surprised at how much I really love Phil bringing the music and intonation back.

That look Dan gave him makes me positive that banana was a euphemism for something.

Phil was so cold about it! What is up with that, Phil!

Yessssssss. There were such fantastic genuine laughs on both of their parts in this video.

I love it. If I could be fricked to write the fic, I might. It's a while since I wrote anything, something the other day was inspiring too.

Thanks for the history, Catallena, interesting to hear.

Wow! Thanks for the info; I had no idea they went so far back (dat semi-colon use tho *sexy vlog music plays*) and until your comment about Dan and Duncan's 'age difference' I didn't even realise he was already 32, holy moly. That's so nice, though, that they were all finally able to meet up after knowing each other for years. Japhan 2.0 and the Harajuku Squad reunion absolutely must happen. The best time for cherry blossoms is around the end of March/beginning of April so there's potential for a longer, more cultural holiday there with ohanami and picnics under the sakura trees before nipping off to Australia

Duncan is 32????

I remember hearing their history before, but wasn't completely sure about it so it's nice to hear it all clarified. It's so cute that they met through Phil. I remember seeing Duncan in an old Phil video where he had like...clips of other people in it(I think he had a Batman mask on????) but I don't know what video it was.

I loved the new sims video and it had me laughing stupidly hard. Need to rewatch it again while I'm not multi-tasking so I can pay even closer attention. LOL

Not gonna lie, if I had the power to transform things I'd probably go even more nuts. xD

i am loving the regular uploads on the gaming channel right now. the new vid was great, i'm not usually into the sims stuff but this was hilarious and probably my fav sims vid!

Re: Sims vid - the "gameplay" was a bit boring as usual, but I like that they finally tried to push Sims beyond realistic respectable life simulator and have a tiny bit of fun. Their (over)reactions were hilarious though, innuendos strong as ever. Consistency of uploads is still pleasantly shocking and really ruining my sleep schedule. I'm recently in the mood either to hate to the point of agreeing with the latest troll post or to adore them, nothing in-between lol.

Or this is Phil breaking the fourth wall and is trolling us because he lurks and is letting us know he lurks but he knows 'psychic Phil' is a thing and knows there was a troll so HE'S now trolling the forums...

I'm always suspicious of those accounts who always lurk on this thread but never post. I'm onto you

The funny thing is, I've never even heard of this site before and was just googling discussion threads out of boredom (I knew about GG from Reddit). It's highly possible that those two are here, and they don't even need an account to do it (kinda like me, I've only recently made an account even though I've been lurking around since last December).

Welp, I'm going back to lurking now.

I'm pretty sure "troll teh forums" is an actual option on Sims 4 (unless that was Sims 3 I'm thinking of?), so I think Phil was just referring to that.

Add me to everyone else who loved that video, I was at uni for 11 hours today so that was such a nice video to come home to. I thought all the innuendos were hilarious, I'm truly loving this more relaxed 2017 Dan and Phil I also love Dan's obsession with bringing up Phil's English Language degree, and Phil's explanation actually made me finally understand how to use a semi-colon, thanks Phil

Their mention at the end of how their audience are attached to their apartment was really interesting as well, not particularly groundbreaking or anything as it only confirmed to me that they have considered how their viewers will react when they eventually move (and personally I think that it will be some point this year, but who knows), but it did surprise me that they admitted that that's a concern of theirs so readily. I wonder how they will tell us when the time comes ...

Their new videos will be my saving grace for finals. They're seem to be really happy in their recent vids that it makes me smile every time I watch it, even when I'm stressed. I hope they'll keep up this streak
