- The true story of how a hamster taught me the meaning of freedom and how to truly live. click here: th-cam.com/users/subscription_cente... to subscribe to my channel to be told when I upload a new video!
In memory of Suki 2003 - ???
That boys and girls is what we call a DANecdote. My life is so weird seriously this all actually happened. Also yes I was definitely mostly taking the piss at the end there but it's a good moral anyway.
What are your opinions on different pets contained in small cages and whether or not they've made you rethink your view of the universe?? Should I have gone with a leopard gecko instead? Would this video have been better if it was narrated by Morgan Freeman? TELL ME YOUR THINGS (thanks!)

ps: would you believe that I specifically waited until sunset to film this so the light would transition from light to dark to complement the changing tone of the story? I know it is so ridiculous I'm sorry. - บันเทิง
apparently 'Suki' means 'love' in Japanese and 'bitches' in Polish. i think this represents the relationship we had well
You've been reading the comments Dan! Holy mother of sheep!
Yupp, Dan, you're right :P Greetings from Poland :D
lol :'D
lol
I hope ewe see what I did there though
Dan: Hoe don't do it
Suki: pop
Dan: oh my god
👏🏻
Seems legit.
+Mac Cheese LMAO
omg, lmao
LOLOLOL
Beginning of the video - day
End of the video - night
Where's My Wig? Dan was doing this video in one day.
Lolee it could’ve been right before the sun set
If you move the time line and look at the thumbnail, you can watch it go from day to night it’s satisfying
Look at the description. He intentionally waited until sunset so the lighting would get darker as the story got darker :')
also his hair got more messed up by the wnd
Dan: I didn’t want a leopard gecko
Me: **makes direct eye contact with my leopard gecko**
Gabby C. That's great XD
Same
awwwwwwwwwww
Hahahaha, what a coincidence!
Gabby C. Omg I did the same thing
"I bought a self aware hamster"
lilli martindale the Harry Houdini of fucking hamsters
only Dan would be the one to get a self aware hamster
lilli martindale "And every month, we get a new hamster."
SpaceyEye Speedpaint oh god don't even start XD
Oh no
how on earth did you find the smartest hamster on the planet
God knew he would get a good video from it :)
Because he’s Daniel Howell
Hamsters are typically really smart and strong for their size

youre finally free too, dan.
Oh My GoD

Well that didn't make me cry
Now I have to go and craft.
**floor gets covered in squareflakes and glitter**
Suki was the beginning of Dan's existential crises
Oh god
crisis*
+McKenna DeBiase does it matter??
McKenna DeBiase actually crises is a word, it's the plural of crisis, look it up
+McKenna DeBiase nope crise is the plural of crisis. Dan always says it
so what's your theory? radioactive hamster? the mind of a human somehow trapped in a small animal like the fish in american dad? someone give me a logical explanation
My mam used to have a dog called suki and i had nintendogs ages ago and my mam named the dog suki.....
yep radioactive
It was one of the animals from a kids programme that can communicate with humans for some reason.
Oh uh my theory is.....
NEVER GET A FUCKING HAMSTER OMF AND NEVER I REPEAT NEVER READ THE HAT FIC I'M GETTING ON THE NOPE TRAIN HOLY FUCK NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE
good theory Al Demon and by the way dan i love you

STOP REMINDING ME
*i suddenly regret delving into the deep corners of phanfics*
ᗪᗩᑎ'ᔕ E᙭IᔕTEᑎTIᗩᒪ ᑕᖇIᔕIᔕ dude, one day, I was bored so I was trolling the deep recesses of Wattpad and I found a story called “the best fanfics of every fandom” or something and so I was intrigued and I clicked on it and it literally had almost every infamously fucked up fic of every fandom. (The milk fic, the hat fic, Dipper goes to Taco Bell, the squilch fic, etc.) And I have never been the same. I don’t think any book can make me nauseous anymore.
please stop. I hate it. I don't wanna talk about the thing.
please no
*im so traumatized by that*

So, Suki was the spark to Dan's Existential Crisis? Of course, of course it had to be a fucking hamster.
+Nein A. it was a fucking hamster
IKR
hat fic?
yeh
I was thinking that same thing.
Hamster in the back, probably grooming it self
Dan: IS IT THINKING???
if it bites you and it normally doesn't its most likely pregnant
thisisrandomnes andmorerandomnes that’s what I thought !
But how could that be when she was the only hamster he had? Hamsters don't reproduce asexually, so how could she have gotten pregnant before her first escape?
@@jaydendraws1345 good question didnt think about it hahaha
@@jaydendraws1345 maybe she was pregnant when he got her and the store didn't know
Maybe he had a food smell on his fingers. My hamster never bites me but she bit me once when I picked her up after eating potato chips and didn't wash my hands.
I love how dramatically Dan tells his stories

These sentences give me a strong psychological damage evertime-
Dan: I didn’t want a leopard gecko
Me: *starts apologizing to my two leopard geckos*
Suki inspires me to lead a better life.
The story of Suki has led me to question the meaning of freedom for everything and everyone... *stares at fish in bowl*
Yes!
Suki inspires us all to lead a better life....
;')
It's incredible how a fluffy waste of skin and organs can change your life! ;) Btw cute hammy! :)
Ha
Phil: buys cute hampster and breeds them. Dan: buys hampster that is self-aware of her life
tbh that sums up Dan and Phil in one comment.
I can imagine the hamster going "kill me"

Phil: *buys black and white hamster named Striker*
Dan: *kills it with his fluffy hat semen and the hamsters blood from breaking the head off*

"I didn't want a leopard gecko"

*throws holy water* I HAVE SEEN SOME SHIT. NO HAMSTERS.
Hamsters are forever ruined for me because of that.
why tf am I crying

Rain Luna Dont ask .....just run ...run fast and far . Dont search .....unless you want to get scared for life . If you do ... best of luck
Cute story!!! But I know why she was escaping and started to have low energy! Hamsters require 450 square inches of unbroken space, at a minimum. As well as the saw dust, that causes respiratory problems. It's amazing that you loved Suki! Sadly there wasn't much ways to research all the known facts we know today... they also require 2 hideouts at a minimum, chews as their teeth are like beavers, play toys so they don't get bored and puzzle toys to keep them occupied! Hope this helped ☺️😋

i can’t comfortably think about hamsters
Oml legit the EXACT same thing happened to me, i bought the hamster that looked different out of all of its siblings, my hamster used to always play with, then it bit me and i took it personally, then he learned to monkey bar across the cage and flip upside down and push the cage lid open and escape all the time (we had to pull the washing machine out once) .... and then it died at the age of 3 :(
That's because she was stressed. If Hamsters don't have enough space (they need about 450 square inches minimum) they'll start monkey baring and trying to escape. If you got a cage from a store, it was likely too small.
"'And I knew why I chose this hamster.'"
I expected him to continue by saying, "Because when I looked at it for the first time, I saw myself."
I'm weird, I know-
Zen Kai Yi I was thinking about that same thing because of how to train your Dragon
Zen Kai Yi that’s how Hiccup and toothless became friends
I actually thought the same thing.
Zen Kai Yi caused of this video Dan is weird too I think
I am the 666 like. I feel accomplished. It is two am. My birthday party is tomorrow. My birthday is the day after. Shit.
When I was four, my mom bought a rabbit named Sugar the day after her best friend died. At night, my mom would sit on the couch holding and petting Sugar until she could stop crying. For years afterwards, my mom would see Sugar and be reminded of her best friend and anytime she felt sad, she would just hold Sugar until she felt better. Sugar lived nine years and in that time the raw wound of grief had become a rough scar. It wasn't until later in my life when I was dealing with severe depression that I realized how much it matters to have some source of joy in your life when everything seems bleak. I finally understood why my mom was so attached to Sugar. That rabbit taught me so many things, but I think the lesson of comfort was the most profound.

NoT THE HAT FIC
i forgot this video existed and the title & thumbnail sent shivers down my spine
Dan: satisfaction from seeing someone else’s life is successful in games like the sims.
Me: you mean killing sims??
Dan talks about his hamster like it was his first girlfriend.
Saarah U thru girl
If you love her set her free (;_;)
chapsticky00 ...but the hamster was a girl?
Saarah U I KNOW I'M CRYING
Saarah U it was
did anybody else notice that it was light outside when he started and dark when he finished?!
omg no
Yep, he must have been filming ages
ps: would you believe that I specifically waited until sunset to film this so the light would transition from light to dark to complement the changing tone of the story? I know it is so ridiculous I'm sorry.

Tasfia Habiba wow I just read that he's so artistic! He's so dedicated to wait all day as well aw my Dan! ^^
When I saw the title my first thought was the hat fic. Kill me pleaseee! 😭😭
Can people appreciate dan's storytelling abilities 💓💓
You have taught me more about freedom than any of my history teachers.

Exactly how I feel about it

Dan's first existential crisis
Congratulations, you got the "Existential crisis about the morality of pets" achievement!!
how is that hamster smarter than some of my friends?
sophiethegreat it’s smarter than me
Ignorance is bliss and those who have achieved this ignorance for better or worse don't need to worry about freedom, their place in the universe etc... Maybe those people are the smart ones (however smart that hamster may be)
sophiethegreat how is that hamster smarter than me
sophiethegreat it’s smarter than me and all of my friends tbh
Smart hamster

Because a hamster to you
Is not a hamster to me
Ok fren?
are you searching for a purpose?
Vanquish them all
Have you lost your car radio again ? I’ll help you, maybe it’s in your hometown
ARE YOU SEARCHING FOR A PURPOSE THEN WRITE SOMETHING YEAH IT MIGHT BE WORTHLESS THEN PAINT SOMETHING THEN IT MIGHT BE WORDLESS POINTLESS CURSES NONSENSE VERSES YOULL SEE PURPOSE START TO SURFACE NO ONE ELSE IS DEALING WITH YOUR DEMONS MEANING MAYBE DEFEATING THEM COULD BE THE BEGINNING OF YOUR MEANING

Are you searching for purpose then write something it might be worthless then paint something it might be wordless pointless curses nonsense verses you'll see purpose start to surface no one else is dealing with you demons meaning maybe defeating them could be the beginning of your meaning fren

Kairi Castillo If you don't know your better off that way my frend
Kairi Castillo it’s a really messed up fanfiction. Please don’t read it. It’s very disturbing and honestly traumatizing. I’m not joking. Don’t read it.
If Dan named his hamster Suki then he must've rlly liked it.
Suki is 'I like you' in japanese
I’ve never been this emotionally invested in a story in my life
When Dan was 12 he wanted a hamster. When I was 12 I wanted a snake. Still do.

So yea
Great choice
hat fic victims are quaking
I got a hamster for my birthday and it had babies which I gave one away to my friend (It escaped into the wilderness) and the others died because of cats. My momma hamster was in her cage and we were eating dinner, when i heard squealing coming from my room. i go into my room and find my 3 y/o cousin CRUSHING my hamster to death. I took it away from her and cradled her in my hands until she took her final breath. *IT WAS TRAUMATIZING*
thomas Sangster is life i'd hate my cousin after that
i would crush my cousin to death tbh
