dan having a medical problem, face in the bed, flailing, breaking the lamp, and phil just concluding "wow, he's twerking with excitement for me" is insanely funny
reminds me of the time I did a backbend while my dad was monologuing and after straightening back up, fainted against the cooker. Woke up a second later on my ass and he was still talking at me from across the room 😬😂 like, she's just having a little flop over there. It barely counted as fainting but still, seriously dad Edit actually i fainted while I was talking and trailed off
id like to take a moment to formally thank phil for convincing dan to bring back dapg. i know dan needed time to go out there and find his footing solo to be happy and i love that for him but on a purely selfish level, i missed regular dnp content terribly. watching the two of you since the revival has given me 200x more joy than i realized i was missing. it’s like YEARS of eating fries with no dips & finally having a proper fry & dip feast & realizing there was a ranch shaped hole in your heart the whole time
phil saying what is he without dan after he carried the whole phandom on his back didnt showing us his amazing dedication like phil give yourself some credit
He didn't say this though. He said that's what he felt like way back then, give him some credit as well and not assume insecurity where there was no reason to...
you guys dont understand we dont want more, we dont want hours of premium content or a long long series, we dont want a food channel, we just want you to be happy thats literally just it.
THIS!! All we want is to just, watch you guys be you, whether it's gaming, card or board games, cooking or anything else. Just do what makes you guys happy
Phil is really an unsung hero. Dan did so many fantastic things and deserves all the praise for them of course, but Phil is the best supporter and does what’s best for everyone even when it means putting off his own happiness. He’s so fantastic and down to earth, which is such a rarity in TH-camrs. We don’t want you guys to do anything more than what makes you happy, you guys could genuinely just film paint drying and we’d probably watch it.
“What do you want this channel to be?” We want this channel to be you two being unapologetically yourselves, having fun and doing what makes you happy. That’s what we want this channel to be.
They’ll probably never have the best food ever though (my country’s food 😌🫶) (actually I think Chinese cuisine might be slightly better than ours) (but they’ve probably had Chinese food before)
"What do you want this channel to be" this. what this channel has been since it came back. the feeling of these videos have been amazing. dont feel like you have to try to cram it into any one thing
YES! Though i won't complain if the 'it takes two' becomes a series. (To be fair though it can be any kinda series i just really think that one has series potential. Kinda like how they are doing with poppy playtime. Just having some videoes that are connected somehow is really nice - gives a sense of continuiety and gives a logical order to rewatch some videos etc. I know that suggestion is gaming related but i really hope this will continue to feel a bit impulsive/spur of the moment where they can just do colab ideas they think will be fun. I think what is important is that the gaming channels is for content they think is fun because what i (and i assume most people) enjoy is watching dan and phill having fun, banter and being themself.)

Soo relatable, Uber eats brought my food, but got the sweet and Sour instead of the ranch they are similar colors, I was gonna lose my shit but I had my emergency stash of ranch! Phew1

what we want this channel to be is LITERALLY this. the random unapologetic shit that makes us feel like we’re having fun together. love you guys to death
32:46 For the love of god what we want is just Dan and Phil, both having fun and doing stupid stuff together! No need for life changing/revolutionary content, just you guys 😭😭😭
32:45 I'll be honest, I don't think there's anything we want more as THE Dan and Phil content other than just you two having fun together. I know Dan always feels the need to go big and impressive, but if you just kept sitting at your desk playing board games and whatever else it is that brings you joy, we would be absolutely be satisfied with that. If you would really enjoy making some game show, do that, if you really want to mukbangs, do that lol. Truthfully the best content will probably be some of the simpest stuff, especially because it would also be easier and less time-consuming for you to make. We love you guys just for being you
Couldn’t agree more!! All we want is for them to be happy. And we love any content they put out, as long as they feel happy and comfortable. I really need them to know that.
what do we want going forward? idk if i can speak for literally everyone, but im gonna go out on a limb and say what we want is just... you guys having fun. Genuinely. I rewatch so much of the last 6 months bc it feels so light and funny and comforting probably bc yall are able to be so much more open and thus authentic (parasocial shit aside yk)
I actually really love how you guys treat this channel as a catch all for your friendship. Gaming, topical videos about lives, having fun together, talking and laughing, all that stuff, just being yourselves and having fun with it and not taking it too seriously. When I started watching you guys I was a tween with social anxiety and no direction in life, but like 15 years later here I am, watching you guys still. I have three kids y'all. I'm married and living the cottage core life. And I click your videos the minute I get the notification no matter what it is because I just love your personalities and friendship. Post whatever makes you guys happy, I know I'll always be watching ❤️
Honestly I think the community feels so whole now is because we can all see how genuinely happy you both are. It’s so obvious in all the gaming videos, it’s wonderful. You both seem much more comfortable with what you’re doing and it just makes watching so much more fulfilling :)
What people truly want is this. Exact how it has been going. Casual you being you. Like hanging out with a friend. Not a whole production that looks too serious and takes the joy out of things for you.
silly lighthearted casual content forever please. there are enough high production stuff on yt already, I love this channel because its so early-mid yt coded
I like these casual videos and the feeling of what youtube "used to be" where the content isn't so planned or overly produced and it's more about the person on screen.
i love where we stand currently as creator and audience. dan and phil feel more open and able to be their authentic selves. the phandom has grown up as well as can handle dnp sharing little bits of their lives without overstepping boundaries. these casual videos really feel like hanging out with friends at the end of a long day. i think this channel having any more format would mess with my brain in that way lol
I'm 32 years old and I've been watching Phil since 2007. I was watching before "Dan and Phil" was a thing. I view Phil as an older brother because he's been a consistent comforting entity in my life for so long. It's amazing to see what he's managed to create (along with Dan). I brought my 60-year-old mother (who I recruited to the fandom) to Interactive Introverts five years ago and she and I are coming to this tour as well. I'll continue to support my brother Phil (and his crazy friend) forever.
this is so beautiful omg! i'm an entire 10 years younger than you but I've been watching since 2014 and i just feel like they're both my gay cousins lol
This is one of the more wholesome remarks on Dan and Phil that I wish the "phandom" actually shared. Thank you for sharing your story. It's a great reminder that for every 20 weirdo stans, there's always going to be one who truly enjoys the company Dan and Phil have provided for a long time. You've just made me feel less alone in this fandom. :')
You are like the coolest person here. That experience sounds so amazing and you separating Phil from Dan and Phil is also really interesting but completely logical, it's just a really cool and unique perspective.
i went through two graduations, a shit ton of therapy, many identity crises, and a challengers esque first year of university for this omgggggg we’re so back!! edit: forgot to mention this month makes it 11 years of being a “phan” like where did the time go??
dan sitting down and doing video essays or talking about what ever niche shit he wants it exactly what i would watch. i feel like thats what his vibes should be for youtube
It seems like the churning of the content machine has hidden the truth of why we are here. We just enjoy watching you have fun. Yes, there's the nostalgia factor that makes your videos so comforting, but most of us love to see you guys laugh. Personally I was in a dark, friendless place when I discovered 'Dan & Phil' and watching your friendship gave me hope and comfort. We just want you guys to be happy. Anything you do authentic to your selves will make us happy
Honestly, I'm kinda treating any Dan and Phil and solo Dan content as extra stuff. After the video essay and Dan not being sure he wanted to be 'Dan and Phil' any more, or do TH-cam (which I think a lot of people understand), all of this feels like a bonus, something I was never expecting to get. So you guys do what you want, I'm sure a lot of us will be here for whatever that is
Completely agree, this all still feels like I’m being treated to some content, and if they both disappeared tommorow it’d be like “oh back to normal I guess”. Makes me very grateful for the content
gonna join in on what a lot of people here are saying, but this casual style of content is EXACTLY what i personally love and enjoy about watching you two. it's silly and casual and comfortable and easy to watch, and watching you guys have fun is what makes it fun for us. ofcourse if you want to switch it up and do different things, go for it! but i hope you don't feel any pressure to do anything more because of the audience, we love this just as it is.
Started watching in 2010 as a 13 year old, depressed and anxious straight girl, to still watching as a 27 year old, less depressed and anxious bisexual trans man truly is life changing. Cheers boys
I never unsubscribed Amazing Phil, thanks for staying a consistent touchstone through it all. I was in from the day I saw The Isle of Man video & The Basket.
cannot believe that the forever famous blonde phil photograph has such a sinister backstory (dan fainting and literally breaking a lamp while phil assumed with incomprehensible confidence that dan was just twerking)
The casual style videos of yall just having fun and joking around is my favorite type of video to watch cause its almost like we're hanging out??? (Im very antisocial so im ngl its how i keep myself feeling somewhat social)
we would watch a 20 mins video of y'all just straight up yapping, no gaming needed. its so nice and comforting seeing you both be yourselves, thats what keeps us around :)
"who really likes us for us?" dan's deranged screams and phil's constant unintentional(?) innuendos single-handedly saved my teen years from just becoming an absolute pit of despair lmao
I'm not kidding when I say I could watch Dan and Phil do anything they want to do. This new era is honestly amazing and it's been great getting to see them just be unapologetically themselves
Dan don't overthink it! You could literally make any kind of video and we'd be happy to watch. You both are my comfort people and I'm sure its true for most of your audience. We're just happy that you're both happy and doing what you like ❤
it makes me so happy to hear that dan and phil feel the amazing energy radiating from this era because all the rest of us have been feeling it too. i'm glad it's not just in our collective imagination lol. you guys genuinely seem so happy, and i am actually kind of healing my inner angsty teen just watching you guys be authentic and enjoy yourselves on screen. this is the dan and phil renaissance, you've aged like fine wine
i’ve been watching older videos on this channel just for nostalgia purposes as i’m almost 28 this year. your current videos seem much more relaxed and carefree, like you’re having the most fun ever! it’s so nice to see you both enjoying the return and as your most authentic selves. everything is on the table when it comes to videos being posted- i think i can speak for all of us when i say we have enjoyed all of the various types of content!!!
"bring your mum whose life you ruined" my mom actually said, and i quote, "no way i already got dragged to that shit when you were a kid i am NOT going" when i told her about the tour LOL
the last few minutes of this genuinely make me emotional as hell 😭 I went through so much during the hiatus (including my own health scares, actually almost the same as Dan 😅), and this has been so healing. the immense joy I felt when I got that DAPG notif is still nothing compared to being able to see how authentic this era is and how happy you guys are being yourselves
also, Dan, if you see this, salt is your best friend! I drink heavy electrolytes and eat a LOT of salt to help with my hypotension. doesn't "fix" it, but it helps a lot
genuinely something i’ve appreciated is the boundaries you’ve developed with us as an audience! it’s great to see healthy(er) ways of existing on the internet
I have never been more shocked in my entire life than finding out Dan and Phil don’t know what ranch is (especially with Dan’s obsessions with dips like ranch is my primary dip)
ranch is a shockingly american dip i’ve learned. when i went to nz i think i saw one bottle of ranch in the entire country, and it was like at the back back of a store shelf. it’s one dip i think we americans have a serious leg up on, delicious
I loved the progression of “wtf is ranch” to “God made these ingredients specifically to be made into ranch, just like Phil and I were made solely to meet each other.”
You'd really hate anywhere outside of America then! Ranch is a purely American dip that, for whatever reason (and despite all the memes), has not made its way outside this country. You may see ranch in Canada and in any American-centric stores in Europe, but it's incredibly rare to find anywhere else. If you ever feel like traveling abroad but you can't live without ranch, bring your own bottle!
Yeah we dont have ranch. I did some searcging a while back bc i was confused on what our "cool original" doritos were flavoured like, abd apparently thats ranch? So if the dip is anything like the doritos, its pretty good.
dan and phil at 33:00 asking “what the hell do you want from us” knowing full well that half the phandom has been screaming at them to play it takes two again for the past five months
This is going to sound weird but it's actually kind of comforting that Dan and Phil and so many of us went directly from the "I'm queer now" era to the "oh fuck my health isn't healthing anymore" era. I went through the same thing and have OCD and I've been going through a "God is punishing me for being queer by making me sick" crisis since I got sick in 2020. It's good to know that's just kind of how things are trending for everyone.
you are so right i have ocd that's heavily ingrained in morality, identity, health, and the afterlife, it's such a niche experience to go through i am so glad i can find fellow dnp fans who grew up into the exact same pipeline
You are not alone, rocket. I'm totally with you on that. Figured out I was Ace and then some tragic things happened in my family and I was like, did I cause these things?? But of course we didn't. It's just hard to not feel that way. I'm glad we can share and that Dip and Pip are here and sharing their experiences, too!
@@mitskisupremacy2254 yeah I'm of the belief that I was always going to have OCD but the church that I grew up in made sure it was going to be religion-based OCD
@@sarty it's really common to connect things that aren't connected because human brains are built to recognize patterns. It's one of the ways we survived and adapted so well (i.e. learning the connected between time of year and animal migration to find food better) but sometimes it also makes us mentally ill
Dan just seems happier in his newer vids. Don't think I'm amazing anyone by saying that he's at his best with Phil in a setting as lowkey as this. This actually made my day.
I feel like in complete honesty (although I have been a dan and Phil fan forever and always loved them) this era is my absolute favourite, I adore how much they seem to be enjoying themselves
I saw a video on Facebook joking about looking at your favorite childhood TH-camrs and what they are doing today, so I jumped here to see... Literally the first five seconds when Phil said “-your not so secretly gay uncles” the 13 year old me went into fangirl mode 🥹 I’m so happy to see them living their best life now. They were a huge inspiration for me throughout my teen years- got my big heart from Phil and my Constant existential crisis and extreme sass from Dan 😂❤ This is wild to see!! I’m glad to see them happy 🎉
This video felt so genuine. It’s nice to have a checkin with y’all occasionally to hear how you’re doing and what you’re thinking about going forward. I hope you continue to upload to the gaming channel for as long as you’re enjoying it!
to answer the age old question, what do dan and phil fans want? we want them to be happy. we want for them to do whatever makes them feel good and comfortable in their lives. even if that means them taking a break or just not coming back at all (although that would be traumatic and pls dont leave us again). speaking from personal perspective i enjoy content that they enjoy making the most. i could honestly watch anything they do.
I hardly dare watch it. Will it live up to expectations? Will it become my next comfort video? More importantly, will it be the harbinger of the next hiatus 🙀
Dan’s ✨iconic✨ scream and him having all the dips possible gives me so much joy. The sass, the dramatic flare, it makes me feel so happy ☺️ I love how supportive and encouraging they are towards each other’s ideas. Yall are literally my favorites on this platform and I can’t wait to see yall later this year 💙🩶
the original mukbang video is honestly such a comfort video for me. nothing to do with the food, everything to do with the sleepover energy. i'm glad to have another one :)
honestly if i can say one thing i want from your content, it’s for you to not worry about what we want and just do what makes you happy. you bring a lot of people joy and comfort just by being yourselves and having fun, no matter what kind of videos you’re doing
I like the idea of this new era just being "doing literally whatever we want whenever we want". I think you guys really deserve that freedom and that happiness! Don't pigeonhole yourselves into any one "brand" if that's not what brings you joy. I'm just happy to be one of those 27 y/os who continues to hang around because I love you guys and any/all content you produce! Can't wait to see what's next for you two, good luck on the tour
COME SEE US IN REAL LIFE DON'T MISS OUT WE CAN'T WAIT THANKS danandphiltour.com

See you guys soon 👀
looking forward to seeing you weirdos

dan having a medical problem, face in the bed, flailing, breaking the lamp, and phil just concluding "wow, he's twerking with excitement for me" is insanely funny
omg yes i was dying at the thought that phil thought dan just started twerking out of excitement
If I dye my hair and my besties don't react like that I'm ending the relationship fr
i was genuinely in tears i could not stop laughing
like that’s a normal occurrence in their home 😂

they were hibernating
lmaooo😭😭😭
@@Dr.GregHousethat’s the case for this week, dr house
I can’t believe I only watched their previous mukbang yesterday and now there’s a second 😂

Phil Lester we will never deserve you
TEAM PHIL TRASH REPRESENT
That's some king shit OUR HERO
He's literally the best human alive
Phil Lester Thank you
"where the Fuck is my ranch" "oh thank GOD i almost lost my SHIT"
Me every time I don’t immediately see my ranch when I get my dominos order
dan going UNCONSCIOUS and phil not batting an eye because he thought dan was twerking is perhaps the epitome of dan and phil shenanigans
ikr it’s so good
especially dan punching a lamp to death and then immediately blaming phil for it the second he regains consciousness
I haven't watch the whole video yet and I'm so confused rn.
reminds me of the time I did a backbend while my dad was monologuing and after straightening back up, fainted against the cooker. Woke up a second later on my ass and he was still talking at me from across the room 😬😂 like, she's just having a little flop over there. It barely counted as fainting but still, seriously dad
Edit actually i fainted while I was talking and trailed off
I had to reply that 4-5x because I was howling with laughter
in complete disbelief that my favorite dan and phil video got a sequel omfg
I know right 😂
we all hoped but i would’ve never thought it would happen
Same
SAME
I know right !?!
They're the gay uncles that mysteriously and randomly show up to family gatherings just to reveal the weirdest lore you've ever heard
YES
what I aspire to be honestly
And leave with all the leftovers while bringing nothing to the potluck gasp
i love it
They’re Freja’s gay uncles and I bet they’re great, they were great with Pearl so they are probably even better with Freja.

The POV of Dan ravaging their freezer for the sweet potato fries was absolutely necessary, thank you
Knowing that Dan faints sometimes and Phil catches him is the exact type of thing that would have sent the entire phandom into a coma 7 years ago

exactly what I was thinking ! Dan has always had so many interests and I'd love to hear him yap for over an hour about them in impressive detail
I would love to have Dan do that
THIS !!!! Exactly what I was thinking i just love hearing them talk
“So many people came back” girly I’ve never left… I’ve been here the whole time LMAO
what do we want going forward? idk if i can speak for literally everyone, but im gonna go out on a limb and say what we want is just... you guys having fun. Genuinely. I rewatch so much of the last 6 months bc it feels so light and funny and comforting probably bc yall are able to be so much more open and thus authentic (parasocial shit aside yk)
Seconded. I've been so thrilled with the return of this channel because it's feels so relaxed and fun and earnest.
yep couldn't agree more..
+ I can't watch a lot of the older content, the difference is so stark.
Agreed! Whatever it is that’s just them having fun, being themselves and following the creative energy
i am unapologetically parasocial w these two :) but im keeping it to myself so therefore its acceptable :) right right right
that group chat story is like something straight out of a nightmare.... phil you're a strong man
Right? I would simply pass away
yes Dan you SHOULD do hour long video essays. We also need a phodcast
I actually really love how you guys treat this channel as a catch all for your friendship. Gaming, topical videos about lives, having fun together, talking and laughing, all that stuff, just being yourselves and having fun with it and not taking it too seriously.
When I started watching you guys I was a tween with social anxiety and no direction in life, but like 15 years later here I am, watching you guys still. I have three kids y'all. I'm married and living the cottage core life. And I click your videos the minute I get the notification no matter what it is because I just love your personalities and friendship. Post whatever makes you guys happy, I know I'll always be watching ❤️
Honestly I think the community feels so whole now is because we can all see how genuinely happy you both are. It’s so obvious in all the gaming videos, it’s wonderful. You both seem much more comfortable with what you’re doing and it just makes watching so much more fulfilling :)
Not Dan saying that him and Phil were put in this universe by God for the singular pupose of coming together (like ranch) 😭❤️
can't wait to tell all my besties we are like ranch
(like ranch) is sending me
the worst thing is I completely understand what he means and how meaningful that is
Dan needs to stop asking "where is this going?", just enjoy the journey, man. let it take you to places you would never have dreamt of
im high
@@ezra8129 you’re spitting facts tho
@@ezra8129I hope it wasn't a bad high time
Yessssssss. Just let us hang with you dan
From nihilism to absurdism
Everybody say thank you Phil, for keeping the fandom alive through the years and being the reason this channel is back
What people truly want is this. Exact how it has been going. Casual you being you. Like hanging out with a friend. Not a whole production that looks too serious and takes the joy out of things for you.
AGREE i only ever want chill casual fun stuff
that's exactly it. just 2 people hanging out with however many people are in the audience sharing a few laughs
the dan fainting story has me HOWLING oh my god "I thought you were doing a little dance!" is too much 😭
silly lighthearted casual content forever please. there are enough high production stuff on yt already, I love this channel because its so early-mid yt coded
I like these casual videos and the feeling of what youtube "used to be" where the content isn't so planned or overly produced and it's more about the person on screen.
i love where we stand currently as creator and audience. dan and phil feel more open and able to be their authentic selves. the phandom has grown up as well as can handle dnp sharing little bits of their lives without overstepping boundaries. these casual videos really feel like hanging out with friends at the end of a long day. i think this channel having any more format would mess with my brain in that way lol
Phil giving up what he enjoyed for dan's happiness... Everyone deserves someone like that in their life
this new era has really made me appreciate phil SO much more. he just seems so... good. he seems like a genuinely good person
I'm 32 years old and I've been watching Phil since 2007. I was watching before "Dan and Phil" was a thing. I view Phil as an older brother because he's been a consistent comforting entity in my life for so long. It's amazing to see what he's managed to create (along with Dan). I brought my 60-year-old mother (who I recruited to the fandom) to Interactive Introverts five years ago and she and I are coming to this tour as well. I'll continue to support my brother Phil (and his crazy friend) forever.
this is so beautiful omg! i'm an entire 10 years younger than you but I've been watching since 2014 and i just feel like they're both my gay cousins lol
This is one of the more wholesome remarks on Dan and Phil that I wish the "phandom" actually shared. Thank you for sharing your story. It's a great reminder that for every 20 weirdo stans, there's always going to be one who truly enjoys the company Dan and Phil have provided for a long time. You've just made me feel less alone in this fandom. :')
You are like the coolest person here. That experience sounds so amazing and you separating Phil from Dan and Phil is also really interesting but completely logical, it's just a really cool and unique perspective.
"My Brother Phil (and his cray friend)" sounds like an incredible book title
The “hi im Phil” clip fading in took me out there was no reason for that to be so funny 💀
i went through two graduations, a shit ton of therapy, many identity crises, and a challengers esque first year of university for this omgggggg we’re so back!!
edit: forgot to mention this month makes it 11 years of being a “phan” like where did the time go??
i’m ignoring whatever the fuck they’re doing in the video and i wanna hear more about YOUR life, goddamn
@@glitterghoul98YESSSSS
you should make a mukbang video and tell us abt ur life
@@glitterghoul98lol nooooo they are way more interesting than me pls 😭
@@kindal5671ngl that’s a good idea but it is pretty depressing especially this year haha but thank you :)
dan sitting down and doing video essays or talking about what ever niche shit he wants it exactly what i would watch. i feel like thats what his vibes should be for youtube
I appreciate that they’ve fully embraced renaming everything according to the ph-prefix.
The phrefix you might even call it
@@Arthur-oc5wz you get it 🤝

It seems like the churning of the content machine has hidden the truth of why we are here. We just enjoy watching you have fun. Yes, there's the nostalgia factor that makes your videos so comforting, but most of us love to see you guys laugh.
Personally I was in a dark, friendless place when I discovered 'Dan & Phil' and watching your friendship gave me hope and comfort.
We just want you guys to be happy. Anything you do authentic to your selves will make us happy
Honestly, I'm kinda treating any Dan and Phil and solo Dan content as extra stuff. After the video essay and Dan not being sure he wanted to be 'Dan and Phil' any more, or do TH-cam (which I think a lot of people understand), all of this feels like a bonus, something I was never expecting to get. So you guys do what you want, I'm sure a lot of us will be here for whatever that is
Completely agree, this all still feels like I’m being treated to some content, and if they both disappeared tommorow it’d be like “oh back to normal I guess”. Makes me very grateful for the content
gonna join in on what a lot of people here are saying, but this casual style of content is EXACTLY what i personally love and enjoy about watching you two. it's silly and casual and comfortable and easy to watch, and watching you guys have fun is what makes it fun for us. ofcourse if you want to switch it up and do different things, go for it! but i hope you don't feel any pressure to do anything more because of the audience, we love this just as it is.
Started watching in 2010 as a 13 year old, depressed and anxious straight girl, to still watching as a 27 year old, less depressed and anxious bisexual trans man truly is life changing. Cheers boys
a fellow 14y viewer, I've never met another!
f*ck yeah
ayeee- another bi trans guy :D
very true lol
Congrats on your journey
are you literally me?? 😭😭 same 🫂
I never unsubscribed Amazing Phil, thanks for staying a consistent touchstone through it all. I was in from the day I saw The Isle of Man video & The Basket.
"I'm from the North. You're the one that should sound like a Tory" I love listening to British people fight
cannot believe that the forever famous blonde phil photograph has such a sinister backstory (dan fainting and literally breaking a lamp while phil assumed with incomprehensible confidence that dan was just twerking)
thank GOD you did not stop making videos together, the post-hiatus period has been the peak of my life
The casual style videos of yall just having fun and joking around is my favorite type of video to watch cause its almost like we're hanging out??? (Im very antisocial so im ngl its how i keep myself feeling somewhat social)
Seeing them together again after all these years being so openly themselves is truly beautiful and healing. My inner child is so happy
I also was secretly some kind of queer
we would watch a 20 mins video of y'all just straight up yapping, no gaming needed. its so nice and comforting seeing you both be yourselves, thats what keeps us around :)
can’t wait to rewatch this a million times and know every word just like i did with the last one
“In your FeRvOuR” lives in my head rent free
@@oliverharris60I am constant quoting '8 seconds' 'IVE DONE TEN' '-nO'
ABSOLUTELY YES i ordered a pizza as soon as i saw they posted this so i could eat with them, and i plan to do so many more times
We are so normal.
I am proud to be a phibling to you goblins
"who really likes us for us?" dan's deranged screams and phil's constant unintentional(?) innuendos single-handedly saved my teen years from just becoming an absolute pit of despair lmao
omg wake up babe massive pizza mukbang 2 just dropped
honestly y'all could post anything you wanted and we would probably love it like we literally watched an entire pigeon stream for you
ok but dan meticulously plating the dips is hilarious and admirable at the same time
I'm not kidding when I say I could watch Dan and Phil do anything they want to do. This new era is honestly amazing and it's been great getting to see them just be unapologetically themselves
so if i faint at the m&g with my pots and dan faints with his orthostatic hypotension then who’s driving the bus
Phil will just assume you and Dan are twerking together.
dan, phil, and their army of potsies
@@lilliematthews7922postural orthostatic twerking syndrome
Pots gang rise up 🙌🏼 (but not too quickly or we’ll go right back down 💀)
Phil, but he doesn't have a license xD
Dan don't overthink it! You could literally make any kind of video and we'd be happy to watch. You both are my comfort people and I'm sure its true for most of your audience. We're just happy that you're both happy and doing what you like ❤
it makes me so happy to hear that dan and phil feel the amazing energy radiating from this era because all the rest of us have been feeling it too. i'm glad it's not just in our collective imagination lol. you guys genuinely seem so happy, and i am actually kind of healing my inner angsty teen just watching you guys be authentic and enjoy yourselves on screen. this is the dan and phil renaissance, you've aged like fine wine
i’ve been watching older videos on this channel just for nostalgia purposes as i’m almost 28 this year. your current videos seem much more relaxed and carefree, like you’re having the most fun ever! it’s so nice to see you both enjoying the return and as your most authentic selves. everything is on the table when it comes to videos being posted- i think i can speak for all of us when i say we have enjoyed all of the various types of content!!!
"what are you doing, why didn't you catch me?!"
"I thought you were twerking!"
average dan and phil video i fear
The only “rules” or “format” requirements for the channel moving forward is do whatever you want as long as it doesn’t make Dan go on hiatus again
"bring your mum whose life you ruined" my mom actually said, and i quote, "no way i already got dragged to that shit when you were a kid i am NOT going" when i told her about the tour LOL
the last few minutes of this genuinely make me emotional as hell 😭 I went through so much during the hiatus (including my own health scares, actually almost the same as Dan 😅), and this has been so healing. the immense joy I felt when I got that DAPG notif is still nothing compared to being able to see how authentic this era is and how happy you guys are being yourselves
also, Dan, if you see this, salt is your best friend! I drink heavy electrolytes and eat a LOT of salt to help with my hypotension. doesn't "fix" it, but it helps a lot
genuinely something i’ve appreciated is the boundaries you’ve developed with us as an audience! it’s great to see healthy(er) ways of existing on the internet
"i thaw yewer twerkin" I LAUGHED FOR 6 MINUTES STRAIGHT
I have never been more shocked in my entire life than finding out Dan and Phil don’t know what ranch is (especially with Dan’s obsessions with dips like ranch is my primary dip)
ranch is a shockingly american dip i’ve learned. when i went to nz i think i saw one bottle of ranch in the entire country, and it was like at the back back of a store shelf. it’s one dip i think we americans have a serious leg up on, delicious
I loved the progression of “wtf is ranch” to “God made these ingredients specifically to be made into ranch, just like Phil and I were made solely to meet each other.”
You'd really hate anywhere outside of America then! Ranch is a purely American dip that, for whatever reason (and despite all the memes), has not made its way outside this country. You may see ranch in Canada and in any American-centric stores in Europe, but it's incredibly rare to find anywhere else. If you ever feel like traveling abroad but you can't live without ranch, bring your own bottle!
it’s an american thing😭
Yeah we dont have ranch. I did some searcging a while back bc i was confused on what our "cool original" doritos were flavoured like, abd apparently thats ranch? So if the dip is anything like the doritos, its pretty good.
These two humans are such a comfort. I was so sad to miss them coming through Vancouver! I wish y'all all the best
dan and phil at 33:00 asking “what the hell do you want from us” knowing full well that half the phandom has been screaming at them to play it takes two again for the past five months
LMAOOOOO
yes but also dream daddy!
@@BooksBlogs23oh my god i NEED dream daddy with gay dan and phil
@@he.said.teenjiejer Bruh, I Need them to continue Dream Daddy now that they're both fully out of the closet.
I don't give a single, solitary shit what you guys do on this channel, I will watch it. Probably multiple times. You guys are my comfort channel!
This is going to sound weird but it's actually kind of comforting that Dan and Phil and so many of us went directly from the "I'm queer now" era to the "oh fuck my health isn't healthing anymore" era. I went through the same thing and have OCD and I've been going through a "God is punishing me for being queer by making me sick" crisis since I got sick in 2020. It's good to know that's just kind of how things are trending for everyone.
oh yeah for sure. for me the queerness and health was/is a much messier timeline but yeah!
you are so right i have ocd that's heavily ingrained in morality, identity, health, and the afterlife, it's such a niche experience to go through i am so glad i can find fellow dnp fans who grew up into the exact same pipeline
You are not alone, rocket. I'm totally with you on that. Figured out I was Ace and then some tragic things happened in my family and I was like, did I cause these things?? But of course we didn't. It's just hard to not feel that way. I'm glad we can share and that Dip and Pip are here and sharing their experiences, too!
@@mitskisupremacy2254 yeah I'm of the belief that I was always going to have OCD but the church that I grew up in made sure it was going to be religion-based OCD
@@sarty it's really common to connect things that aren't connected because human brains are built to recognize patterns. It's one of the ways we survived and adapted so well (i.e. learning the connected between time of year and animal migration to find food better) but sometimes it also makes us mentally ill
dan fainting at the phlonde reveal might be the most relatable thing yet
Dan just seems happier in his newer vids. Don't think I'm amazing anyone by saying that he's at his best with Phil in a setting as lowkey as this. This actually made my day.
I feel like in complete honesty (although I have been a dan and Phil fan forever and always loved them) this era is my absolute favourite, I adore how much they seem to be enjoying themselves
I agree this new era feels like them being unapologetically themselves and I’m here for it
4:39 of dan aggressively searching for the sweet potato fries had me in TEARS 😂
I saw a video on Facebook joking about looking at your favorite childhood TH-camrs and what they are doing today, so I jumped here to see...
Literally the first five seconds when Phil said “-your not so secretly gay uncles” the 13 year old me went into fangirl mode 🥹
I’m so happy to see them living their best life now. They were a huge inspiration for me throughout my teen years- got my big heart from Phil and my Constant existential crisis and extreme sass from Dan 😂❤
This is wild to see!! I’m glad to see them happy 🎉
This video felt so genuine. It’s nice to have a checkin with y’all occasionally to hear how you’re doing and what you’re thinking about going forward. I hope you continue to upload to the gaming channel for as long as you’re enjoying it!
to answer the age old question, what do dan and phil fans want? we want them to be happy. we want for them to do whatever makes them feel good and comfortable in their lives. even if that means them taking a break or just not coming back at all (although that would be traumatic and pls dont leave us again). speaking from personal perspective i enjoy content that they enjoy making the most. i could honestly watch anything they do.
WE WON
AMEN 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I hardly dare watch it.
Will it live up to expectations?
Will it become my next comfort video?
More importantly, will it be the harbinger of the next hiatus 🙀
@@stevetayler9518 nope, just a beacon of a chill and happy new era 🙂↕️🙂↕️💝 enjoy
@@celiacaffrey 🥰
Dear Phathers, my sister and I were in London on the weekend and we went to Detroit Pizza London and you were right it was incredible.
Dan’s ✨iconic✨ scream and him having all the dips possible gives me so much joy. The sass, the dramatic flare, it makes me feel so happy ☺️ I love how supportive and encouraging they are towards each other’s ideas. Yall are literally my favorites on this platform and I can’t wait to see yall later this year 💙🩶
the original mukbang video is honestly such a comfort video for me. nothing to do with the food, everything to do with the sleepover energy. i'm glad to have another one :)
honestly if i can say one thing i want from your content, it’s for you to not worry about what we want and just do what makes you happy. you bring a lot of people joy and comfort just by being yourselves and having fun, no matter what kind of videos you’re doing
I like the idea of this new era just being "doing literally whatever we want whenever we want". I think you guys really deserve that freedom and that happiness! Don't pigeonhole yourselves into any one "brand" if that's not what brings you joy. I'm just happy to be one of those 27 y/os who continues to hang around because I love you guys and any/all content you produce! Can't wait to see what's next for you two, good luck on the tour
