(chat) Are you gonna do a baking video?
“I think so. I wasn’t sure about it, ‘cause it’s not like I always want to do a baking video. But I’ve seen a recipe that’s very exciting to me, and I’ve seen an item of clothing which is exciting me, so”
-please be some kind of pumpkin onesie
7:05 (about changing to spooky twitter name) “When is it acceptable to do this though? ‘Cause I feel like a lot of people really embrace festivities way too early. I’m somebody that fervently believes that you shouldn’t do anything Christmassy until, you know, December 1st, but then Halloween.. I dunno, it’s just, it’s October 3rd. Like yes, it’s festively fall-ish, crunchy leaves and orange and stuff, but like is it really time to change your name to something spooky?”
-if I was in charge, people would be in the Halloween spirit from Sept 1 to Dec 31, xmas can choke
12:39 “I don’t think I will [do a ‘pick my outfit’ vid], but it was quite cool ‘cause I’d be interested in just seeing what people think I should wear. I never buy new clothes, I get clothes like once a year when they’re on sale, or just like begging promoters or friends that I know to send me designer clothing for free. Which works like all the time, you should definitely try and blag free clothing whenever you can.”
-and then you too could own a potato sack of your very own
13:10
(chat) Do it on danisnotinteresting then
“Well, look at you suggesting things that make sense. Okay well I’ll consider that I guess”
-will he though
15:45 (talking about a
Crystal Maze episode and a team (named 'Cosplayers') on it) “They weren’t cosplayers, they were furries. They were furries.”
16:26 “And I was like, Channel 4, produc- that is not cospl- I mean it is cosplay, but like they’re not The Cosplayers, this is something very— And I wasn’t shaming. And it was weird, like I was watching the episode and they kind of did terribly which is ironic ‘cause like, a bunch of nerds, I really wanted them to win, and you always think they can do really well.”
(about guy dressed up as a zombie cat) “There’s always one person in the group that has to do that little bit extra for the attention. There’s that one guy in the furry fandom, everyone’s just respecting each other’s wishes, yiffing with the proper etiquette, and then this guy’s like ‘oh I’m a zombie cat’, how does that change things? I dunno. But for some reason, as like a niche culture fandom on the internet, I felt like I had to root for them. I almost felt like I was being represented by them in some way. Let’s not read any more into that.”
“So you know, here’s me, still haven’t decided what my fursona is, maybe we need to think about undead animals.”
19:10 “I missed Mother! in the cinema, I’m so mad, I really wanted to go see Mother! as a big fan of Darren Aronofsky, but it’s not in the cinema anymore”
-no spoilers but: it’s shiiiiit. I’ve never been so mad at having paid to see something. If you’re looking for horror (which it was..... advertised... as…….), look elsewhere. If you want an 85% frustrating and 15% disgusting time, go for it! But Black Swan-esque, it. is. not.
25:05 “Dan’s Seal of Approval goes to Greg and Mitch from AsapSCIENCE”
-aw who else explicitly has that apart from them and jacksepticeye? there should be an official list
39:15 (after mentioning writing on a plane)
(chat) Writing? Writing for what?
“I write my videos, I write ideas. I’m not writing a book, confirmed. Don’t worry, Dan’s not releasing a secret book, no, no, no”
-SOUNDS JUST LIKE SOMETHING SOMEONE WHO IS RELEASING A SECRET BOOK WOULD SAY
41:45
(chat) Thank you for being so relatable
“I’m just honest with my life and my life experiences. A lot of people, they don't like talking about negative things, they don’t like making negative jokes, especially about themselves, it makes people feel uncomfortable. They’re like ‘oh you shouldn’t joke about these things, it’s not funny’ but I think that the main problem in people’s life is pride, and not talking about things ‘cause they’re scared, everything comes out of a place of fear. Society makes us feel this fear and guilt for different things, and instead of the bad things being something that you just harbour resentment which turns into fear, which leads you to the dark side, if you just wear it on your sleeve and joke about it, if you talk about it, then other people relate to it. If I talk about the bad things in my life, it might be a weird concept to joke about them, but that will just make someone else go ‘hey I’m going through that too’ and maybe not take it that seriously.”
43:12 (about dry winter skin) “I need to get on the chopstick”
43:30 “‘Chapstick’. I didn’t say ‘chopstick’, what is wrong with you?”
44:50 (about roller disco at the YT thing) “I was like ‘I am not going to the roller disco, but [it turned out the free YT dinner was there], ended up going. But then they were giving everybody free glitter face makeovers and I was like, about that. Went. Attempted to rollerblade, always terrifying, could break a leg, but it was fun. It was definitely an experience that could have ended in my death, but it didn’t.”
-it can end in a lot of things other than death; last time Shane Dawson went rollerskating, he broke his leg and then came out as bisexual a week later. roller discos, man, never know what you’re gonna get
47:55 “I hope you look forward to the danisnotonfire video whenever I stop being neurotic and get round to making it”
48:07 “Go touch a tree”
