I just finished watching YOI 5 minutes ago, I'm still emotional and I wasn't expecting more news?!000dia000 wrote:There's been so much content the last few days, I'm at loss for words.

i expected their parts to be short but it seems like the whole episode is with them, i'm more excited to hear their voice acting now!golden wrote:Coming out of lurkdom to say that I just looked up the description for The Lion Guard episode:

has anyone seen the lion guard wikipedia page? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lion_GuardMy favorite part is "Ending theme "Here Comes the Lion Guard" performed by Brendon Urie"fancy_nancy wrote:woooow the phandom really is quick
i’m also excited about youtube rewind, didn’t they say they had a bigger role in it this year (requiring actual exercise lol) so i can’t wait to see what they do for it.iero wrote: i believe it is the 7th
Wwll I hope Disney isn't so dumb to think that D&P have an audience that matches their viewership in any way. At least I don't think we've sunk to actual 5 year olds yet? So unless they're that out of touch, I have trouble believing that bringing in more views was the main reasoning behind this move. I'm also really not sure about this episode doing that much better than usual anyway. I feel like the phandom is too small of niche to reflect in ratings and the way those are measured, and that very little people are gonna watch it as it airs (hell most of us can't in the first place because the phandom is quite international) and just wait for it to pop up online.BisexualShoeMarriage wrote:If Disney are giving them openings for a new career in voice acting if youtube ceases to be viable, I'm not complaining.Catallena wrote:It's cute though, but definitely a show for young kids and not intended for D&P's usual audience at all (like BH6 was) so that's... interesting?
How much is it in Disney's interests to bring in guests whose usual audience is very different from the show's target audience? That episode will probably get record viewing figures for the series, but is unlikely to gain them much of a regular viewership. Could they be underestimating the average age of Dan and Phil's audience so dramatically that they think they will bring in significant numbers of primary/kindergarden age children?

Hmm. It's been a month since his last actual video (classing DAPGOOSE as a spon vid, so it doesn't count)... So is he going to post a dinof vid that includes Twitter hijinks before/after posting pinof bloopers on DINI? Or is he going to bank whatever the dinof vid is for later in the month (tell my mind to stop thinking it's a Truth or Dare type of thing..) when they're Christmasing. Damn his last solo vid was in September. I'm interested to see what he'll be doing with his channel now that we can bury tatinof (and shove a stake through its heart before shutting the coffin just in case). How many of those ideas on his list will see the light of day in 2017? He said our gaming channel thirst would be quenched in December, so at least we have that to close out the year. And he also said no more surprises, but I've been burned before. Hyped hyped hyped for the future.swofro wrote: Also bloopers will happened Have no idea what that means
at the phandom on wikipediaI think you're right about the phandom not making a significant difference to their views or ratings. (I forgot for a moment that this was actual mainstream media, in which Dan and Phil's ability to break the internet is largely irrelevant.) But if it's not for the views and ratings, what's the reason? Do they think Dan and Phil have actual voice acting talent?Catallena wrote:Wwll I hope Disney isn't so dumb to think that D&P have an audience that matches their viewership in any way.

And honestly, The Lion Guard is one of the last shows Disney should be trying to save ratings for right now because it's doing pretty well as far as I know. It's a Lion King spin-off after all, D&P aren't quite on that level. If Disney wants better ratings they have a better chance pandering to the TLK fandom by giving a shit about continuity. But first I'd advice them to look at the sinking ship that is their sitcoms.
You trampled the dream, but then you gave me a newer even better dream - so all is forgiven.fancybum wrote:Oh god I really want them to do that at some point, but it's the other way around. She has the guests tweet whatever they want from her account. And she always tweets out asking for questions for them first. And she's now having it filmed in LA for Fullscreen. Have I trampled on the dream enough yet? I even gave myself a sad.
Chris is back in London so I'll just pretend they had him over, with some honey for undisclosed reasons, until I'm proven otherwise. It's a nice thought.
Unfortunately, yeah - I don't think it'll make a big difference, for the reasons already said. And even of the cable television owning American fans who would have the ability to DVR it and have their view count I'm willing to bet a good portion of them will find a youtube copy or download it anyway just to avoid having to tell parents/family they want to record a Disney Jr show for two youtubers.BisexualShoeMarriage wrote:I think you're right about the phandom not making a significant difference to their views or ratings.

Maybe it's the way they're able to play off one another verbally as a duo that landed them the roles? I'll admit, sometimes I let their old radio shows or live shows just run in the background while I'm working because their back and forth is so in sync that it's actually soothing. I could see a contact getting ahold of a clip and finding them well-suited for a pair of "buffoonish" cartoon gorilla princes as you don't have to know or recognize their voices to enjoy the bants. No matter what got them there, it's very exciting to see them branching out (and maybe even bring a few more middle-aged folks into the phandom- hi Disney parents!)BisexualShoeMarriage wrote: But if it's not for the views and ratings, what's the reason?

(I think my tone sounds kind of incredulous there, but I don't mean it to. If this is something they're genuinely good at then I'm happy for them, but surprised, since they're not actual actors.)
