You have a very nice channel 🖤
Anthony you should react to some of liam's cool songs, watch slow, live forever, familiar(my personal fav) and bedroom floor, they really are good songs, and liam is very good and a talented singer, check out some of his live performances plz.🖤 he's as good as the rest.
Just to let yah know- liam does drink...? Not sure where u got that from... although that was after his new kidney. It could’ve been from a while ago though...
I just joined the fandom over quarantine, and honestly it's really fun to see someone in the same boat as me haha :)
Yup, same! 😃
genuine question, how has it been catching up on 10 years of content? i’m imagining it and getting stressed 😩
@@S_213 when I first started listening to their music, the comment sections had me REALLY confused 😂
I spent an embarrassing amount of time watching old interviews and video diaries
@@S_213 It's AMAZING! An endless line of music videos, live performances, interviews, behind the scenes stuff, compilations etc. All fun, lovely and with great music, of course. And the boys are just adorable, lovely and so talented! ❤️❤️❤️
i’m getting back into the fandom 10 years later too.....
How is it?
Anthony Aiken Jr idek. i’m clowning a lot and devoting all my time😂😂😭 but i still rly like it. how is it for u?
Camille Macioge lol that’s good! it has been fun. Learning with y’all helps a lot
Liam doesn't actually have one kidney in Louis' words "IT WAS MYTH!! HE [Liam] FOOLED THE WORLD"
zayn and louis’ anger about the kidney thing never fails to crack me up
Believe it or not, the kidney is one of the very few organs that can “regenerate itself”. I also think it’s far fetched but not impossible because of his young age.
Wow!! Liam fooled me
@@AnthonyAikenJr Liam also used to have a drinking problem at the end of 1d so he did drink
Erm.... Liam truly had only one functioning kidney when born, it’s why he was on medication as a kid. Or do you think the Payne’s gave their baby boy medication for the fun of it? His kidney regenerated, that’s not a lie and if you do some research that happens. When Louis and Zayn heard about the regeneration, they joked that it was a lie all along, but they were just roasting Liam.
I have been a Directioner for 10 years and I love that there are still new people joining the fandom and supporting them!! Welcome to the fandom (no turning back now!) xx
Thank you!! & 10 years. You really grew up with them. That’s cool
Isn’t that the truth. I just joined in early April and my life has turned upside down and backwards I’m never going back❤️❤️
@@chloelapage9591 same may 25th is the day I eventually fell in love with them so I'm very new😍❤️😂 I wish I joined the Fandom earlier. I'm so sad that I'm probably never gonna see them together on stage, it breaks my heart😢
Themis I know but there’s still hope for the 23!!!
@@chloelapage9591 ik, I try to not give up hope but it's really hard... 🥺😪 But one way or another the 23rd will be a beautiful day even if it's only the fandom celebrating❤️
Same I joined the fandom 10 years later! and I have no idea how I didn’t know/like them before😂
Omg same
SAME!!
Samee I wish I knew them sooner :(
Same!!
Omg me toooo 😂
The way that rap killed.
Anthony man, these vids just be getting better each time. You be setting the bar high for yourself
Thank you!! I try!! I hope to continue to reach new levels for y’all. We only getting better
Yes loved the rap!! Great job AAJ!
Donna J thanks!
It's always sad when the vid is over but the hug makes its better🥰☺️😉
Always ending with the hug!! & no worries, more videos will be here sooner than you know. Thank you!
I had a war flashback to AAOOD when you said catastrophe lol I was like "or should I say Cat-tastrophe" I hate it here😂😭❤ Also that rap part in the beginning was fire. Great video!
😂😂 that slipped my mind. “Tac-O’s is in my head” & thank you!!
@@AnthonyAikenJr "in a tortilla bowl" 😂😂 and you're welcome💞
"sure he'll read that.".. 9:12
This optimism 😄😄😄😄
😂 well, he hasn’t read it yet
Duh lol I have send multiple 🤣🤣
Anthony Aiken Jr don’t give up😂
Mamá thats the spirit!! Thanks
The moment I heard "we have to find out about 1D's history", I knew History would play 😂. It's these subtle (or not so subtle) puns and jokes that make me come back 😂. Welcome to the fandom, officially. You'll never escape. It happened to me over 9 years ago.
Haha I’m glad you know my editing tactics!! & Thank you
0:23 “how did you become a one direction stan? like out of nowhere?” “i did my research and i liked what i looked at” 😂😂😂 that’s really how it is like i didn’t expect to like them so much but it happened 😂 also i hope you enjoy this is us! i watched it for the first time last year and i loved it (i promise it’s better than the video diaries hahaha)
i loved this entire video you are the best ♥️
I can wait to see it!! & Thank you Angela 💙
I'm so excited, this editing is so good, that rap was fireee
Thank You Zoe!!! I appreciate it!! I’m really perfecting the editing now
Welcome to the fandom Anthony! The process of your initiation started a long time ago but now it's finally official!
P.S. Zayn's full name: Zayn (originally Zain) Javadd Malik
Thank you Mariam!! & you’re right. It’s been a long journey but this is the Cherry on top
Been a Stan since Dec 2019, glad I’m not the only new one. The weird thing is, (and please don’t hate me people) but I only like a couple of their songs. It’s THEM, their personalities that makes me love them. I do like Harry’s solo music but it’s watching interviews with them and their stage antics that makes me Stan them
I love their later albums but I feel you!! Harry got me into the band
me too in december
Zayn Malik's full name: Zain Javadd Malik.
Thanks!!
i became a stan in the beginning of this year and i did all of my research and listened to all their music and loved all of them. and i know all of the inside jokes and stuff like that so it’s nice to know that someone else becomes a stan 10 years later 😂 x
😂😂 Nice!!! We are the late bloomers
I became a stan during quarantine. It’s nice to know that I’m not the only new person to the fandom.
I became a directioner two years ago, when I became a huge fan of Harry and decided I wanted to know about his career with 1D. Before I never bother to check’em out because I’m older and my taste in music was eclectic but mainly U2, Pink Floyd, Azis, Yes, The Beatles etc etc. Now I deeply lament not checking them out sooner. Nothing to do to a bubble gum band. Even their more “”commercial” songs are special.
Omg yay you’re going to one of Harry’s concerts next year, have fun :)
Yes!!! Love on tour & Harryween hopefully! Thank you. I hope you get to go too
That rap was amazing. Zayn's middle name is Javadd by the way.
Thank You!! 🙌🏾
OK but i seriously love your editing like it is some of the best worrk ive seen
Thank you Ayana!! I really try to put my all into it so I’m glad y’all enjoy it and credit it
never felt so identified with a video, 14 of february, the day i became a directioner
That’s amazing!! Welcome
So it isn't weird that I remember the exact date I joined the fandom??? July 12th btw
july 12th 2019
00:30 is me all day! That rap was smooth! Come through Anthony! Literally I’ve been here 10 years and am still unsure of how I got here! 😂 1:47 got me Go God’s sake Niall! That I have a headache clip gets me every time!! The fact I was giving birthdays, names and all them facts! 😎 Not the crying clips! 4:27 the tears of sadness and super proud at the same time. 5:05 same same. 5:40 hands were about to be thrown!! 6:33 proud of ya! Let’s go! Little Things.... 😂 gotta STAN! 7:48 gotta dance! The first time I watched You & I, I screamed and cried I wasn’t ready! 8:59 me literally everyday 😅 9:50 the music is accurate for my life 2010-now. 11:22 I almost didn’t treat you with kindness..... it’s a hiatus! 12:30 me tho! Like where do I sign huh cause they own my life like where I sign?!?! Welcome One Direction Fan!! 😂
Your comments are always the best thing. Haha. & I hope it’s a hiatus too but uhhhh, Nevermind. You got it 😂. Thanks as always
Omg I love your channel and I love one direction and Harry styles!!
💙
Nah I gotta pause this and get comfy to really appreciate this work, I'm shook this is like a movie
That rap was soooo good!!!
Thank you Hayden!! I added that rap a hour before I uploaded this actually. It took me 10 minutes to write 😁
i’ve been a directioner pretty much since the beginning and it’s so nice to see new people joining! you are living proof that the fandom isn’t dead :)
You are too!! Thank you for watching
1:46 That reminded me of Hey Angel(Jasmine Zade)'s TH-cam channel
I need to check out her videos. I get sooo many comments about the “dark side of 1D” video
Anthony Aiken Jr that’s her most popular video, she also has a “good side of one direction” aswell.
also something i found recently out my own, is the contracts people auditioning for the x factor have to sign. I don’t see many people talking about it within the fandom, but some guy made a video on the terms and conditions of it, that probably explains a lot of why they are on “hiatus” and also proves how much of a jackass sinon cowell is.
Anthony Aiken Jr “the britain’s got talent contract is disgusting” but mess music tv on youtube
I've been a 1D stan for 8 years ( I was only 6 bruhh) and tbh ivlove you welcome to the fam ❤
ANTHONY IS SUCH A MOOD OMG😂😂i have no choice but to stan❤😂
Thank you Claire 💙
THIS IS SO HEARTWARMING WHY IS HE SUCH A SWEETHEART 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for watching!! Much love to you Laila as always
i loved every second of this video. love the editing and all the random clips 😂 you're a legend 😄❤
Thank You!! ❤️ Y’all motivate me to continue raising the bar so i will
The first 2 minutes had me rollin’ 😂😂
(Also I enjoyed the j-cole reference) but Welcome to the fandom!!!!! I’m glad you finally made it *send virtual hug* ☺️
Thank you!! Glad you got the Cole reference
I'm so glad I found your channel and your unabashed love of Harry/1D! I've been a massive fan of Harry's solo stuff since SOTT was first relased but I'm a very new 1D stan (within the last few weeks). As a woman in her mid-30s, I felt way too old to be so invested in them but YT has been a great way to escape boring adult life and find other, sometimes surprising, Directioners 🙂
Whenever someone asks me how I became a 1d stan I can't even give an answer it just happened😂😂
😂😂 I blame y’all usually. I wouldn’t change a thing though
I joined the fandom at the beginning of quarantine and they are the only thing that kept me sane but I’m out of quarantine it’s not so healthy anymore :) totally loved seeing you get into One Direction!
Thank you!! I hope you’re safe, well, and happy! Much love
Omg yes I needed this I’m clowning too hard with that new article ❤️
What’s up Jennaye!! Thank you ❤️
@@AnthonyAikenJr an article from a PR guy about what is apparently happening on July 23rd - www.simonjonespr.com/news/2020/7/15/celebrate-10-incredible-years-ofnbsponenbspdirectionnbspthis-month
that is the link of the article he tweeted
I have been following your channel since you first reacted to fine line, as I have been a fan of harry’s since 2017, and I can proudly say that I have also become a directioner right along with you! I am deep into the fandom now, and I am deeply upset that it took me so long to become a one direction stan 😪 but now that I am, I just wanna thank you for introducing me to the 1D fandom and for having such entertaining and quality content!
That’s amazing Giselle! We in this together then!! & Thank you
Ur one of my new fave TH-camrs Anthony you keep doing your thang and don't ever stop or give up❤❤
Thank you, I won’t! ❤️
Just warning you, once you enter there’s no coming out you’re stuck forever weather you like it or not🙂 I’m a 7 year directioner and seeing people still joining the fandom till today literally warms my heart🥺🥺
OMG YESSSSSS, you are welcomed in this fandom😌😌 we love you
Love y’all ❤️❤️ How are you?
I joined the fandom in January after saying for 3 years I would never even think about it and now I'm OBSESSED
Love your vids
That’s awesome!! & thank you 💙
If you have Apple Music you need to watch Harris behind the music! You would really enjoy it! And by the way I loved this video!!! Made my day :)
Thank you!! That will hopefully be next!! 🤞🏾
Anthony, I really like your creativity.
You're very close to have 25k subscribers. Which will be well deserved :)

Thank you Karly
Watching your videos is the peak of my day, thank you for making them ♥️
You’re welcome! Thank you for supporting me ❤️

Thank you so much!! It means a lot when you all share. I appreciate it
Welcomee ! such a great video! I REjoined the fandom few months ago and it feels like home again ! hope you enjoy being a directioner ! love your 1D videos keep it up!
I am!! I hope you’re safe, well, and enjoying life!! Thank you Rita!!
The hug! That was the most realistic one on the internet I swear it felt real. GREAT VIDEO 👏👏
Thank you Jasmine!! About to watch your new video as soon as I can
@@AnthonyAikenJr don't worry about it, mine is boring and sleepy but not even as sleepy as Harry 🤭
I'm so glad I found your channel your videos are so good and your so funny
Thank you! Welcome to the Junior Squad 💙
YOU ARE A KING. I STAN.
You binge watching all their music videos is the first videos of yours i watched! So thankful for that video
Thank you Holly!! You’re so kind and supportive on Twitter so I’m glad you found me too! I got your back always
Anthony Aiken Jr yessss you are a literal king nothing less
This literally is the first thing I watched today and it made my day.
I’m glad I can make your day!! Thank you for watching. I’m working on some more special videos too! Can’t wait to share
I didn't know there were steps, but I've done them all too! I even bought the perfume! Hooray Anthony!! ONE OF US!! ONE OF US!! ONE OF US!!
Thank you Amanda!! & they had perfume? 🤔😂
@@AnthonyAikenJr yea, 2 kinds I believe. It was..ahem...very affordable on Amazon. Not my normal scent, but it's fine for now. Gotta support the boys, you know!😊👍
Love the video! A bit painful to hear and see those flashbacks but your humor makes up for it (and the hug at the end)
Ofcourse!! Thanks for watching ❤️
Anthony Aiken Jr could you maybe react to Harry Styles Jingle bell ball from capital fm? He sings his own songs as well as his version of ‘What makes you beautiful’
Zayn’s full name is “Zain Javadd Malik”. He changed the ‘i’ in his name to a ‘y’
YESSSSSS AHHHHHH FINALLLYYYYYYYY THANK YOUUUU
Anytime, thanks for watching
It felt great discovering your channel, love every video and subscribed instantly! I'm also a late fan, discovered my love for harry this year and along with it came one direction and all of the boys solo work, really wish I had this journey sooner but better late than never.
All the love from Portugal!
bro, i love your content, this is awesome. keep going. *thanks.*
i joined the fandom in late 2020 and i'm telling you now... there's no going back. the "oh for god's sake niall" at the beginning startled me but i loved it lmao
It's so cute how you did all of that🤣❤. Looking forward to more content
Thank you Mia!! ❤️
Its so awesome after we listened to fine line we both jumped in head first. Congrats my fellow directioner. Love ya man
Thank you Sarah!! Hope all is well
I did the same thing as you you .As soon as I became a directioner I did a speech in my mirror and it felt awesome and I just want to let you know welcome to the fandom you might have some meltdowns but it will all turn out all good
Thanks, you too Ava!!
The fact is that Anthony is such an amazing person that he has liked and replied to pretty much every single comment so far. And when I got the notification that he hearted both of my comments I was literally so happy. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! ❤️ Also if you are looking for some one direction videos got to a TH-cam channel called Hey Angel. The girl who makes the vids, Jasmine Zade makes some amazing 1D content too!
Always, I love hearing y’all thoughts probably just as much as y’all enjoy hearing mine. & thank you for taking the time out your day to watch. & Watching a “Hey Angel” Video is on my bucket list. I heard a lot about her
Another suuuper enjoyable video!! The intro though, it was so amazing hahaha made me smile!
Thank you Calle!!
I really liked your video it was great, and welcome to the fandom
Littearly love your chanel so much
Thank you!! 💙 More coming soon
Directioners are the best fandom, we are a family..
You all are!! I’m thankful y’all have accepted me
@@AnthonyAikenJr for sure ...
I’ve just became a one direction fan too in January so you’re not alone. Also there’s 8 more days until their 10 year anniversary! I’m excited and nervous 🆔❤️
Thanks! We in this together
I smiled so hard when i saw the notification... never clicked so fast
Thanks for always watching/commenting Omnia. Hope you’re well
@@AnthonyAikenJr you make me feel well all thanks to you 💗
Me already knowing everything but still watching because I love them
Legend!!
Welcome to the fandom! You should some 1d online quizzes!
That’s a goal.. look out for one soon
If you like one direction your automatically my best friend. And also I love you making this
Since we best friends now, I hope you’re having an amazing day Jillian!! & you’re welcome. Thanks for watching
@@AnthonyAikenJr omg omg thank you! You too :) I hope your liking of them continues cause there is new content like every day!! It never gets old ;)
Jillian Pensenstadler Ofcourse! If you ever have any song or video request, feel free to send it. I got you!!
@@AnthonyAikenJr omg just stream the music videos they are all amazing. Best song ever is probably the funniest because in the beginning they do like a little iconic skit. "LEEROY HM"
Jillian Pensenstadler 😎😎 I did (I might do it again in another video but you can watch this for now) th-cam.com/video/i8YkkwF7jQ4/w-d-xo.html
I can't be the only here who didn't just join the fandom this year, although y'all are very welcome to never having a normal life again. This video was hilarious!
I'd love to see you react to 'why Louis Tomlinson and fans relationship is THE BEST' by 1DAF if you are interested. It's the best, and most amusing, fan/celeb relationship I've ever seen😂
I loved everything about this video 😂
Haha thanks Evie! Much love to you
Amazayn vedio
“Doesn’t allow anyone to DM him. Interesting”
I was honestly confused but it makes sense 😂
Anthony Aiken Jr also probably because for some reason idk why tho he has a lot of haters
I like that you put Paul Rudd near the end cuz he is also a directioner lmao
I didn’t know that!! Respect level for Paul increased
fam this had me wheezing the whole vid, the way you learnt that shit like-
sir this is the best video you’ve ever made
Thank You so much!! I agree!! Top 5 for sure
the moment we have all been waiting for
i’m in the same boat man. 20 years old and obviously heard their songs but was never a fan. sometime last year i just started listening to them and now i’m too far in to get out
Btw Zayns middle name is Javadd. I love your 1d reactions! Your editing is so amazing and I absolutely love the funny commentary you add! You should become a comedian. Or a rapper! I love the sweet creature rap at the end of the video!
Thank you so much!! And yes, sometimes a comedian, or rapper, I love entertaining overall. These comments really motivate me to do more. Hope you’re well!
Anthony Aiken Jr
Of course! Wishing you all the best as well! Thank you so much, for making your videos so fun!
Awww you texting louis was the cutest 🥺
He hasn’t responded yet but I’m happy for him!! He’s finally free
You were officially a sweet creature... so sweet! ;) I wish i had found yer channel sooner, but I have alas arrived! :}
you are now included in the fandom, congratulations
Thank you!! 💙
WELCOME TO THE CLUB
I joined the fandom 9 years later honestly I feel like I missed out on all the hype but I’m slowly dealing
We got this!!
