yeah im nostalgic and jealous, i never got to have a childhood. i didnt have friends and i wasnt allowed outside and many other things. good thing i can live vicariously through phil
This sounds so dumb, but Phil's videos comfort me so much. I feel like I'm talking to an amazing big brother or I'm sitting next to a best friend, and it's one of those conversations you never need to think about what to say. You just smile and sit with a warm feeling and laugh at an innuendo, then talk about childhood and being secretly gay. Even after all these years, they still mean something special to me.
"Sipping a cream soda next to a wizard" is definitely cooler than going to a bar, not many can say they've done that. I legitimately think its cooler, not to sound like a supportive mum, because I'm not lol
@@viktorthecreator4458 sounds better to me than a night of mistakes where you lose all of your inhibitions and wake up the next morning not knowing what you've done lol
Same. I'll just casually be in Starbucks, not listening, turn to the barista "oh what? Why would I want the bricks, Janis?" Then get kicked out without my coffee.. lol
The lady from the apartment: "PHIL LESTER PULLED THREE BRICKS FROM THE WALL, HE MUST BE PUNISHED, THE LOWLY SWINE!" Phil's friend: "Ma'am, your son kicked the entire wall down." The lady: 👁️👄👁️
See if this were America it’d be like: “There’s Target, and Walmart, Chick-fil-A, and another Walmart, gas station, mall, Chick-fil-A, a Walmart, and a target.”
More like:"If you drive 10 miles down the road there's a Walmart with a dodgy hair salon next to it." Some areas of the US are gigantic and full of nothing.
and now i'm crying... please delete your comment, the kids are screaming, my mom just had a heart attack and can't stop crying. everyone wants you to delete your comment please, it's very triggering
Think that wall just shows how terrible the UK councils are that there's an actual broken wall that they can't be bothered to fix 🤣 it's been like 20 years 🤣
I can't believe how many times I've been past the same building where Phil went to prom. My friend also went to pride there so that's very appropriate.
I like how he would never upload a video like this in like 2014 because there would be fan girls crazy enough to go there and bother people, but now this fandom has turned almost completely chill and we can just enjoy his stories.
I swear this man could talk to me about anything for hours and I will not be bored. You’re so entertaining and funny I love you Phil ❤️ Ps: you should make a sandwich blind folded for a video lmao
I was listening to this video like a podcast and realized how perfect Phil's voice is for podcasts and audiobooks. If Phil did make any of them, I would listen to it so much
Bruhhh I live close and my sister works there. It’s nice and all, I’d rather live there than where I do live lmao. But yeah I can’t lie it’s really nice and asthetic lmao
Phil has so many memories in his hometown and actually left a mark (the wall) but meanwhile I'm like "there's my high school... Uh... McDonald's was fun."
So basically, Phil's childhood was Sega, vandalism, and gay panic
what an icon
Makes him seem way more badass than he is, tbh
InfinityOnHigh and porn! don't forget the porn!
Same but nintendo
Stella comment.
honestly
Phil being a “can’t drive” gay feels like representation
I wish I could super like this comment😂
Freddie Mercury would be proud
That’s immediately what I thought of 😹
Yeah once I drove over the curb and onto the grass so I guess that stereotype really is true at least in my case 😅
Too relatable
I love how, even after all these years, Phil's default name for any woman in any story/game/anecdote, is Susan.
Default female name in general.
I mean, the name Susan was sort of a staple of the gaming channel. That’s probably why he still does it. Maybe.
Yep
It's about the constants in life 😌😌
Not a little bit Alexis he uses janis a lot for people he seems as rude😂
not me sitting here as a 17 year old feeling nostalgic for someone else’s childhood😂
Same
literally me rn lmaoooo
yeah im nostalgic and jealous, i never got to have a childhood. i didnt have friends and i wasnt allowed outside and many other things. good thing i can live vicariously through phil
"why would I want the bricks, JANIS?" has a very similar energy to "why did i have the bowl, Bart? WHY DID I HAVE THE BOWL"

Wtf Sammy watches Phil??
He should of said Karen 🤣

It’s fun to see the Americans being confused by this comment because even tho I’m Italian I studied British English and not American English
@MIALENE CERAR same. It is so confusing but I have learned that if anyone who isn't American says it than it is soccer. Its so confusing
introverted Animator I don’t understand Americans because the second I realise someone is American I change my mindset and think of words they’d use
This comment made me cry actual tears of laughter 😂😂😂 I needed this!!!
phils friends: *awh boobs*
phil: **closeted gay panic**
I don't have any friends because they are ashamed of the videos I upload. Are they really that bad, dear x
Me, a bi woman: also having closeted gay panic
im shocked he liked this omg
Me: *laughs in not closeted pan*
the fact that this reaction applies both to wlw and mlm

it’s so funny how the town phil grew up in was all “alcohol!! sex!! drugs!!!” and his youtube branding turned out to be the complete opposite
Some of his earlier vids gave me that vibe lol
i'd love to see a manchester edition featuring dan, if he'd be comfortable with that. i think it'd be cute and nostalgic

I love the fact that every girl ever is just Susan unless her name is actually Susan than it will probably still be Susan.
Honestly Phil is totally incepting me into buying displate these are looking so cool
Lmao. Also hi. Nice to see you again
I bought one the last time they sponsored one of his videos and it’s amazing but it’s also expensive
I have 4! They are really good :)
successful marketing!
I got a bunch of them for a friend's birthday and they look soo good, definitely recommend
Last time i was this early Dan was still on fire
😂
oh no 😂

i love how no one has fixed that brick wall after all these years
At this point, it's better to put there a "Phil Lester played Jenga here" sign and wait for the pilgrims
That’s local councils for you

"the nest becxt thing" - phil lester, english degree
phils hometown suits his aesthetic
phil: *about to explain what drama revolves around the wall*
youtube: *two adverts start playing*
Such a struggle tbh
The more Phil reveals about his childhood and coming-of-age the more I realize how much main character energy he has.
if being a closeted gay in high school isn’t a big mood, then i don’t know what is
Closeted gay with fake crushes just to fit in the group
As someone who was a closeted trans asexual in high school, I somewhat relate to this big mood.
that wall story just has v small british town vibes and i am here for it
“why would i want the bricks janice?!”
-phil lester, 2020 😂✌️
i will never get over the fear of having to pass back a fallen football it’s actually stuck in my memory

Living for these Phil childhood stories
Phil is so good at random facial expressions. Like I’d be able to tell he was telling a story about “gay panick” from a mile away.
Phil had to walk to school on that hill, uphill both ways, 10 miles, in 5 ft of snow, even in the summer. God bless.
