I feel like this series is 1) entertainment for us 2) an opportunity for Dan and Phil to integrate their past personas into their current understanding of their selves like therapy and 3) roast us mercilessly
I'm loving all the shade they're throwing at the weirdos who spent so much time trying to prove they were gay lmfaooo. RUclips started recommending those "D&P Being GAYY!!!!!!!" compilation videos to me and they're so wildly uncomfortable
no because it was so common back when those videos came out :') Watching him make fun of those people is cathartic to ME and I wasn't the one people were trying to out

“Because you’re 12” was one of my favorite Phil jokes for the longest time because of how true it is. But can’t make that joke anymore because most of us are in our 20s 😏🤣🤣
@@change0f_heart lmao well the joke didn’t really apply to you back then if you’re the same age as Dan and Phil lol, most of us were kids back when he made that joke
they fr produced the most queer fanbase ever even before coming out... lesbians, bisexuals and trans guys all around! straight girls too but i feel like they weren't as invested and probably a lot of them aren't here to witness this phan renaissance. seems like it's mostly the queers now!
Just based on what Dan said at the end I hope he and Phil know that if they were to skip a day or two to get rest we wouldn’t be mad. I love them “giving the people what they want” but only if they want to not because they need to. I’m just glad to have the gaming channel back
@@iwakeupandboomimarat It's so weird that we apparently thought Dan and Phil wouldn't find out about all the unhinged stuff we literally commented underneath their own videos xD
I feel like I’m being bullied and I wasn’t even in the fandom in those years, so it’s more like when you’re a kid at your friends house and your friend gets in trouble
I cannot believe I genuinely thought for a second "they're like the gay guy version of Trixie and Katya!" as if my brain had somehow registered Trixie and Katya as actual women rather than, you know, a pair of gay guys 💀
I LITERALLY remember seeing theories online dissecting the reason Phil's nose sharpie was smudged halfway through PINOF 3 because they MUST have kissed
little 14 year old me would have never guessed she would be sitting on her husbands couch eating take out and watching dan and phil still after ten years. i'm so glad i made it here :)
That's what I was thinking! I hope they aren't stressed out and can actually enjoy Christmas time. 😕 I'd rather get less content than knowing they are overworking themselves behind the scenes!
EXACTLY!!! I was actually really worried when I found out they were doing gamingmas again cause that's gotta be really stressful and exhausting!!! As much as I look forward to the new videos, I DEFINITELY wouldn't mind if they reduced to every other day or even less frequent for the rest of december if it was getting to be too much
i feel like doing a podcast would be too intimate for them because it would be them making direct eye contact, talking directly to each other like is rarely seen in their content here 😭
I actually love the retrospective nature of them rewatching the pinofs and telling us how they felt at the time and how they feel about it now, it's really interesting to get an insight of how they were doing and what was going on.
i love that they’re doing this so much. watching how old they feel, how old WE all feel, phil continuing the THEY TOUCHED literally the entire time. but my favorite- just how funny they find themselves 😂
Aw I feel bad that they worked to the point of exhaustion back in the day. I'm glad they have hired editors to do some work for them now. And the editors are doing a great job!
I just love how dan's reactions and laugh haven't changed at all. They pause the vid, he laughs in the present, they press play, he laughs in the past, i laugh. Forget live, laugh, love, it's laugh, laugh, laugh now 😂
Can I just say how unbelievably proud I am of how much they have grown? They really truly have grown and despite everything, they can always bring a smile to my face and make me feel better.
honestly, it makes me so happy to see dan and phil now. they've been through so much and we can clearly see how it has molded them and changed them as people. it warms my heart hearing them laugh a lot louder, openly swear on their videos and make crass jokes, poke fun at each other, while also being so utterly wholesome. i'm proud to say that i've grown up with them and that while i'm in the midst of figuring my own self out, i can look at them with hope and think that a day will come where i can also feel THIS secure. thank you for everything guys. i'm so glad you're back and i can't wait for more !!
this makes me feel so safe. when I was a kid when I was having rough times, I would always watch pinof, it always came around my birthday so I was always stoked. This is healing my inner child and I didn’t even know I needed it. Thank you guys, ily. -a fan since 2014
"My grandma had a goose that would chase me around." ... Love all the Phil grandma lore we're getting this Gamingmas 😂 The icon we never knew we needed
I hate that us shipping them was mostly innocent but really did cause a lot of stress and pressure on them. On the other hand glad to see they’ve grown and can joke about it now ❤
There were three tiers to the d&p fandom 1. Chaotic but respectful (non shippers) 2. Non prying shippers 3. The demon phannies I feel like most of the fandom lied within the first and second tier, but 3 was still the loud minority
The way that "hey justin, wanna stroke my corgi" line plus horrific body movement has literally been trapped in my fucking brain since that video came out..... I will never know peace lmao

Very thorough analysis this is it
An opportunity for Dan and Phil or for us lol.
they’ve really committed themselves to the whole “giving the people what they want” thing and i’m living for it
They’re rewarding the phandom for not being weird anymore 😂
fr
They finally know the fandom are not 12 years old anymore and are now grown adults with lives who can take a gay joke 😂
As they should
Yes currently loving it tho
phil being the "they're touching!!😱😱😱" police is the funniest running bit in this series
no because it was so common back when those videos came out :') Watching him make fun of those people is cathartic to ME and I wasn't the one people were trying to out
its so funny bc we would LOSE our minddd
it hits extra hard bc of Phil's friendly and nice persona
I wasn't one of those phan stans,, but I was around to see it,,, honestly, Phil clowning it is peak content

"My grandma had a goose" phils lore never ceases to amaze me
She probably kept the goose in the Glory Hole™️ ofc
The more I learn about Phil's grandma, the more I love her and want to know more.
"did she live on a farm?"
"No, she just had one in the garden"
We have geese in our garden, they honestly just appear and then never leave

timestamp? 🙏
"You wanna talk to the manager at the gay bar" How does Phil just come up with that on the spot, he's so funny 😭
made me CACKLE
I know right that made me laugh out loud
Dan: "You think Dan Howell wants a funky lamp?"
Directly behind Dan as he says this: A funky lamp
The funky lamp IS in the room with us!
that lamp was def phil's idea, lol
Dan doing the dance move perfectly with himself was SO satisfying
16:16
I keep replaying that bit, it's soo satisfying. Same facial expression and everything!
it was so perfectly exact i keep rewatching it lmfao he's making the exact face as well
Gotta love Dan clowning on Phil for liking animals then hauling his ass alongside him to bring a pigeon to the vet during a global pandemic.
I think that was the only thing besides Phil, that was keeping Dan from entirely fraying at the edges
Fittingly, I thought your pfp was a pigeon at first glance 🤣

THIS!!! I'm liking every comment saying this in the hopes they could see it 😭
I'm sure these are prerecorded at least to an extent.
Yes, totally agree.
It’s the nostalgia for me. Watching these as a depressed teen vs a depressed adult really hits
heard ✨
Atttacccc
Phil: “We love breasts and their textures”
The fandom, filled to the absolute brim with lesbians: “Yes”
As one of those lesbians, yes
idek what i am all i know is i love boobs
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Agreed
Same 😂
The "they TOUCHED!!!" makes me laugh everytime Phil says it
“unless they pressed their noses together?!???” them making fun of the speculations about them during this time is honestly so amazing and hilarious
Yeahhhhhh, I think after everything they well within their right to do that😂
it feels so illegal that they know ab that theory 😭
Literally they have earned the right to make fun of every single phannie

@@iwakeupandboomimarat It's so weird that we apparently thought Dan and Phil wouldn't find out about all the unhinged stuff we literally commented underneath their own videos xD
If there’s one thing we’ve learnt, it’s that PINOF acts as time capsule for pop culture references from the 2010s
Dan & Phil remembering the lizards duet word for word is now officially the highlight of my 2023🤣
I love them calling themselves "them" as if they are different entities simply observing
To be fair, I’d feel the same way about myself more than 5 years ago
@@Sophia-hs7et oh absolutely. 15 year old me is a different person I don't associate with her
they are
the fact that they both knew the lizards duet by heart makes me emotional in a way i am ashamed of
No shame
Same here 😂. These two are dragging me back down into middle school 😭
Literally I still sing that to this day so seeing them remember it made me grin and cry a bit like an idiot lol
No seriously I couldn't stop smiling/ (crying a little bit?)
I imagine them singing that together through the years just around the house
we’re unlocking so much lore this gamingmas... dan’s church puppet trauma. phil’s grandma’s gingerphobic goose. great content
And we’re only halfway through!
church puppets?
@@wartygourdit's on the Heartthrob video. Dan told us about the time he and his youth puppet church group went to puppetcon (term coined by Phil)
phil's grandma lore is rapidly becoming why i watch these vids
The glory hole
Fucks sake it's been 11 years and only now have I realised "wired addictions" was meant to be "weird addictions"
The "why aren't you in my bed? because you're 12!" Has always been one of my favorite D&P phrases and them reacting to it is everything to me
The more we hear about Phil's grandma, the more iconic she becomes
them mocking their old fanbase is making me feel like a child who's been put in time out and was told to think about their actions
"they're old fan base" dude it's all the same people, were just old now
We absolutely deserve it tho, that shit was getting unhinged
@@ermagerd9640 oh for sure, the way we treated them was actually so gross

@@izzytodd4242 LMAOO
Seeing Phil's natural colour juxtaposed with the old dye colour is so STARTLING
And how nice is Phil's natural hair!!
25:23 Dan saying “I just knew” feels like Trixie talking with Katya and it made me so unnecessarily happy😂
dan is so trixie especially his laugh
I cannot believe I genuinely thought for a second "they're like the gay guy version of Trixie and Katya!" as if my brain had somehow registered Trixie and Katya as actual women rather than, you know, a pair of gay guys 💀
@@KreeZafi i had the EXACT same thought process lmao i think we’re victims of the gay agenda🥲
cant stop thinking of that gay to straight spectrum of entertainer pairs that had like ??? smosh to d&p to trixie and katya
they are like the chaotic good versions of trixie and katya
Phil’s hair is getting more ginger by the day and I’m living for it
Dan and Phil calling out the phannies is easily the funniest thing ever
i love how they’re FINALLY loudly making fun of their obsessive shippers
T H E Y ' R E T O U C H I N G
It heals my soul, hopefully it heals theirs as well
same i WAS one of those obsessive shippers in my teens and i still love all this drag
dan’s cackle laugh is genuinely everything
It heals me fr
Honestly it gives me serotonin 💗☺️
Imagine getting to live with someone with such a joyous laugh
SERIOUSLY! It makes me smile so much every time, it's such an infectious laugh
i love dan’s laugh so much. hearing him let it out completely is so healing
I LITERALLY remember seeing theories online dissecting the reason Phil's nose sharpie was smudged halfway through PINOF 3 because they MUST have kissed
"You think Dan Howell wants a funky lamp?"
Dan, this video's background is ready to testify against you.
phil’s favorite joke is making fun of phannies and honestly good for him i support it
He created us and now he is kinda destroying it (? But keeping it safe at the same time
Poetic justice
Dan and Phil still knowing the lizards song from memory is so lovely
My favorite part lmao!
dan and phil: * cracking up at nearly every joke in PINOF 4 *
also dan and phil: "this one is mid"
little 14 year old me would have never guessed she would be sitting on her husbands couch eating take out and watching dan and phil still after ten years. i'm so glad i made it here :)
goddamn, how okd are you now?
15 y/o me who was depressed af didnt think she'd make it here either
don't overdo it again boys. we all so very much appreciate the daily content, but it's okay to take breaks if necessary
just not five year hiatuses
That's what I was thinking! I hope they aren't stressed out and can actually enjoy Christmas time. 😕 I'd rather get less content than knowing they are overworking themselves behind the scenes!

@@inprogress9141 i think they got an editor now so it's less stressful
it’s so absurd how Dan and Phil don’t remember any of this while the rest of us can speak along to the entire video
I can't. The cat whiskers put me off so I never watched those vids. Only the gaming channel in its Sims era.
speak for yourself lol
Hey, they did remember most of the lizards song
You’re making a lot of assumptions here
fr, i can quote them and sometimes DO randomly reference them - specifically "ooooh gemima" and "oooooh jeremy"
dan and phil paying homage to the pinof outfits is all we need in life
the way that they look at each other so fondly at 6:09-6:12 would've had 13 year old me wailing and sobbing
me now is wailing and sobbing
I had the same thought at that part lmfaooo
i feel like doing a podcast would be too intimate for them because it would be them making direct eye contact, talking directly to each other like is rarely seen in their content here 😭
Dan finds out something new about Phil’s grandma in every video these days
"You wanted to speak to the manager at the gay bar" had me ROLLING
underrated comment ☝️☝️
He is so funny 😂
This era of Dan and Phil is rewiring my brain
right? if youd shown these to me in like 2016 id have spontaneously combusted ain't no way I could've processed this
It's giving ✨ _the good chemicals_ ✨
And honestly it Needed some rewiring badly, I'm so here for it
2023 dan and phil discovering that we had every reason to stan them as hard as we did bc they were in fact fucking hilarious
The cultural impact these two had was honestly insane
I love the layered dan screams when past and present dan are just totally in sync xD
they’ve been so giggly in their videos lately it makes me so happy that they’re having fun lol
i'm going to sob over this comment
It's so awesome! Dan cackling because of actual joy is wonderful to watch. Gotta love Phil's nervous laughter 😹
Phil saying “… that was not funny” at himself killed me
Phil calling PINOF 4 mid really made me want y’all to do a tier list of all the PINOFs once you’ve watched them all
I SECOND THAT
P L E A S E
Phil did say at the very end that they're going to do a tier list soooo your prayers will be answered
phil saying “i hope you’re having a lovely day” at the end is so sweet. i am having a SUCH lovely day. thanks guys
“you’re giving us full sphincter on youtube” absolutely blindsided me into a wheeze
dan and phil singing that lizard song from pinof 6 made me so unbelievably happy
highlight of my year
Lives in my head rent free tbh.
I'll just be going abour my day than boom! Lizard song! What musical icons✨️
The fact that they BOTH messed up and said shiny instead of spiky they really do share the one braincell lol
they really roasted us in this video. we were NOT SAFE, my teen self is quaking at being called out for their cringiness
Ikr?! They know us too well😂
Yeah y'all were fuckin freaks back then
Some of us really took things way too far as well. The spectrum of fans is truly astonishing.
Dan and Phil losing it over their old humor is so wholesome.
25:20 dans laugh is so infectious 🥹 love seeing him so happy
what does Dan say to make Phil laugh?
"We like boobs and their textures" is giving my such Captain Holt in witness protection vibes 😂
rip 😢
The fact that Dan was able to say Monkfish backwards both times was truly amazing 😂😊
And then there was Phil…
"why aren't you in my bed?"
"~BEcAuSe yOu'Re TWELVE~"
BEST RESPONSE
He was right too akshajhdjs
I actually love the retrospective nature of them rewatching the pinofs and telling us how they felt at the time and how they feel about it now, it's really interesting to get an insight of how they were doing and what was going on.
dan howell, with no less than four funky lamps in the background: 'you think DAN HOWELL wants a FUNKY LAMP?'
i love that they’re doing this so much. watching how old they feel, how old WE all feel, phil continuing the THEY TOUCHED literally the entire time.
but my favorite- just how funny they find themselves 😂
the way the lizard song was sung even better than the original off by heart has added 12 years onto my life
I still have the whiskers mug! It has lasted so well
The Lizard Song (Dan and Phil's Version)
"It was doing nothing"
Phil reading Dan for the leather shirt is too hilarious 😭

The whisker mug has been my cat's water mug for three years because he's spoiled and only drinks out of a mug 😂
My new favorite thing is them fucking with us by saying things like "omg they touched"
They’re really roasting the 2012 phannies and I’m so here for it
This year is just Dan and Phil giving us what we didn't know we wanted and I feel blessed
It's always crazy how far Philisnotonfire got when AmazingDan only had 1 public rendition

2. Non prying shippers

watching NEW dan and phil content as a 22 year old in my own apartment is healing something in my soup
*soul
Good thing you corrected it because I was about to ask what was wrong with your soup, and how were Dan and Phil able to remedy it
You guys unknowingly made another PINOF while reacting to them and I couldn’t be happier
I was thinking this!! I think the nostalgia and vibes from the old pinofs, merged with them today, makes for extra pinof-y content!!
“Nostalgic cannon to the face” sums up the d&p revival quite well
Dan overthinking their hair in every video is so relatable it hurts
i hope they start doing occasional livestreams again - just whenever they feel like it! it was nice and soothing, like a mukbang but without the food
To all the people who wore cat whiskers in public because of these two…you’re not alone, and I’m sorry.
I wore them to school once but I went to school in Germany and back then not a single soul knew D&P, truly scarring 🥲
