I liket the video! It had classic dinof vibes, a classic Dan rant that let's him explore a topic he's fascinated by. I'm not surprised he got a tiktok account, he alluded to it being inevitable in the IG live, but it will be interesting to see what he does with it.

That username lol.

Whelp, Dan is officially one of three people I follow on TikTok. I never open the app though, so hopefully if he posts anything it will make its way here/to Twitter!

Loved the video! Agreed with the others who said it gave very DINOF vibes

Also, as we all know Dan edits the life out of these videos, does anyone else think 1:50 is some sort of subtle (and actually hilarious) joke? I quote:

"I went to my Insta DM requests recently to see if anyone replied about coming on this show... that wasn't just Phil. I sorted by Top [quick cut] And I found this message" LOVE IT!

I would also like to note that he is definitely not a zillenial - he's at least 2 years too old for the oldest of the zillenials. I feel like this is important for me to note as someone the same age as Phil who doesn't like the idea Dan is not my peer in generation.

Agreed. I'm two months younger than Dan, and I fully embrace that I'm a millennial. I'm also in the group that has refused to download TikTok... I don't need an app to forcefeed me videos according to the algorithm, I'll just scroll my Tumblr dash for 45 seconds, close the app, and open it right back up again, and that's the way I like it. Am I out of touch with the most recent memes? Definitely. But I think anything worth seeing on TikTok will escape containment and I'll see it somewhere else. TikTok is my line in the sand.

Wow. Only now I just caught on how he self declared himself a zillennial and ...sorry Dan but you're too old to be a zillennial. It's actually the narrow '95-'98 age bracket of kids who grew up on a millennial internet but have witnessed it being burned to the ground.

i'm always kinda emo over them in October, but this year the sentimentality is at an all time high. i feel like this video was a very classic dan vid, plus we got some really excellent joint content. they're just... ugh. loving the vibes.

Is Dan now gonna be one of those people that re-posts TikToks with that ugly ass watermark on Instagram? Booooo!

Also garbage kpop news site Koreaboo has an article on people being surprised that Dan is a kpop stan because that's news apparently.
Many of the people seem to be ex-Phannies which baffles me because Dan has been talking about kpop for at least 10 years and there were kpop songs on the tour playlists. And also my entire theme on this forum is one of the girls he said he'd eat on a YouTubers React episode.

I don't think he called himself a zillennial, did he? he just said someone else called him one and he didn't like it lol. anyway, either way it is incorrect, yeah. he needs to be at least 5 years younger for that.

loved the video! although i'm really surprised by the lack collabs lol. i think louise has still got an episode at some point, right? but i'm surprised nobody else wants to be a part of it.

Didn't he buy that horny hoodie because he saw it on a kpopstar? Him being into kpop is very old news.

I liked the tumblr answer time! I always like when he talks to us.

Something small I noticed (idk I thought interesting).

After Dan's kpop comments in that video, I see j-hope stans on my tl flattered by Dan's praise because they consider him quite a reputable and influential figure. I realize that I personally overlook Dan's impact and influence at times because I am overfamiliar with him. I unintentionally diminish his success as only just "the funny video guy". Seeing outsiders point out how he's a radio DJ, author, comedian, etc. I can really get a clear vision on the kind of whole person he has become. The koreaboo article is just clickbait, but I see genuine people impressed by Dan, so I feel a little strangely proud that I've known him, his work and his content for some years now. Also, I discovered various artists and music thanks to Dan - j-hope and Taemin included, ironically! So, it's funny seeing a fresh wave of kpop fans shocked by Dan's musical interests when he's been liking kpop 10+ years. He's no poser, that's for sure.

Hi! Apologies if this is too ot, but are there going to be any meetup groups in Milwaukee before the show next week? I'm new to the city and I desperately need to meet some people and make friends.

Dan's bus is actually very visually pleasing, and his bunk space is adorable. He's living my tiny house dreams!

You can try searching on Twitter - Milwaukee Dan Howell, or Milwaukee Daniel Howell, or Milwaukee Doomed, and try misspelling Milwaukee a few times and see what comes up. I think there is also an official place people are planning meetups, but I forget where that is. Might be tumblr; Twitter, even on here.

ngl tour bus tours aren't as fun when we can't analyze sleeping arrangements.

But look our boy finally answered my prayers and went to a proper salon (I can't stand messy nail polish) and it looks so pretty!!
Phil posted some Instastories today as well, which we know happened a few days ago from the barista who recognized him.

Phil content coming!!

EEeeeeeeE so excited for this!

Oh my god Phil & Pj together is great news! We haven't had a proper collab video with them in so long.

'doesnt include: phil' made me cackle.

btw I compiled Dan's Tumblr Answer Time into a long video because I did it in 2018 and consistency is important, but also because I noticed on Twitter that some people had trouble navigating Tumblr.

PHIL UPLOAD ALERT

such a short video but any longer would have dragged on maybe. he's so funny and looks really good imo

Short, silly but cute video. It might be because I'm a lesbian but I have no clue what he sees in half of the monsters he chose 'smash' for lol

Dan has been gone for a month and Phil posts an extremely honey video, I guess that's par for the course

Like what was that comment about not being able to eat a banana

I loved that video! It was the most adult video I think we’ll get from Phil.
