I'm still confused about this debate because when I first watched the video where they shared what they thought the ringtone was I immediately agreed with Dan and thought Phil was blatantly incorrect.
absolutely love that phil saying they know each other well enough to seamlessly switch identities without it even being difficult. also love that dan didn't disagree with him
@@robinwinged IKR!! I feel like their relationship aligns pretty closely with the vibe of aziracrow (I say relationship for all kinds of situations not just romantic)
@@alwaysprocrastinating355 yes yes yes, it’s such a wonderful comfortable lovely dynamic ahhh - also hi from the good omens fandom, we really out here everywhere 🤣
Dan and Phil saying they want to be unremarkable until they die - ignoring the fact that they’ve already become the heros and are now in their villian arcs
Okay but the worst thing about the dying teleportation clone scenario for me is that it doesn't say your dead body disappears, so you just leave dead bodies everywhere whenever you teleport
For me the worst thing is that from your point of view, you don't teleport. What you experience is that you think of teleporting and then you stop existing. The end.
I never expected to hear the phrase “being topped by Akinator” in my life but I suppose if I was ever going to hear it, it would be in the beginning of a Dan and Phil games video 😂
@corrinabarnett8226 can you do me a favour and pretend I commented a really jawdropping comment about you having daddy issues here please? Also! Hey! Fancy seeing you here. Definitely didn't stalk ya! 😝❤
Dan bringing up the debate over the iPhone ringtone again with evidence is so fucking relatable, I would also not be able to let something like that go, lol
dan’s trying to talk about all that clone existential stuff but i’m too distracted by that slime thing nested on his head for it to evoke any existential fear or dread
no literally!! dan brought it up and i thought he was gonna say the comments agreed with him but apparently not. bruh dan's sounded so on point, i can't believe this is even a debate 😭😭
My favorite is when I think to myself "I wanna watch Dan and Phil. Maybe I'll binge the sims until they upload." Then I looked and they uploaded 30 mins ago
fun fact !! one of the biggest reasons (other than just not rlly having the technology yet) we don't have teleports like sci-fi is because that's how they would actually have to work !! 5:54 the machine u step in would disintegrate you, then they would just be cloned on the other side
Phil: "I think it'd be weird to be around someone who's in a permanent state of pleasure." Dan: "like 'hey Phil, how you doing tod-' yAHHHHHHOhhhhhHhhsHhFJKJyAHHHHH" Phil: "STOP IT." Dan: "AHHHHHHOHHhHh...anyway, I would" AHHHDHDHDHSHG WHAT THE FUCK DAN
ok but what dan left out in that iphone ringtone tweet is that neither of them were correct individually but putting their tunes TOGETHER they pretty much got it 100% right lol
Dan and phil’s conversation about living forever is literally me and my boyfriend all the time, he’s like “i’d totally wanna be immortal” and i’m like “but why, life is not that fantastic”
The teleportation question is literally the plot of a book called The Punch Escrow, Every time you teleport you’re cloned and the original is “cleared” but there’s an error that causes the protagonist to survive at the same time as his clone.
Today is my girlfriend's birthday and she's one of your biggest fans. She was SO thrilled to see you two post on her special day. Thanks for all the laughs and smiles you give us both. 🖤💜

I now desperately need to know more about Phil’s Baldur’s Gate playthrough. What class is he playing?? Who is he keeping in his party??? These are the most important questions I’ve ever asked
Started watching DnP when i was 18. I have recently turned 30. I am so here for the DnP reneissance.❤ Nothing makes me smile like that. It's like visiting old friends and knowing that for the next 20 minutes all is good in the world.
So nice to see others who started watching when they were 18 and are now late 20s or early 30s, I did too! 💜 Obviously not that there's anything wrong with other ages, but it does make me feel a little old to see people be like "omg I started watching D&P as a literal child" sometimes 😅, so it's nice to see others my age when it happens!! 💜
@@hhcoolmv1 I like being the older fan 😁 so many times it made me feel like I could relate more to what they were going through at the time(moving out, college, changing flats, figuring yourself out) and it created a safe space for me. Knowing that I am not alone in similar struggles made me feel like having friends, just half a world away 😁 I don't think I would feel like that if I started watching them at 10 or 12 😁 ive never been part of the crazy fanfic writing fandom, i do own all the books and have seen interactive introverts on Tour tho (I even own the DnP plushies)^^
I turn 30 later this year and was first watching them when I was around 15-16y/o 🙃 I dropped off when I went to uni and only recently came back, there is so much catching up to do and I'm actually thrilled about it!
You can't imagine how happy it made me to hear that Phil's playing bg3!!! would absolutely love to see it on the gaming channel, either as a one-off thing, several episodes, or even a full playthrough (heck yeah i'd watch 200+ hours) also think you'd love getting into d&d as players if you can find a dm that goes with your and your friends' vibe
i have perfect pitch and dan is absolutely the closest. he wins. i never realised how sonically challenged most people are til i saw the amount of people saying phil was right
13:33 i feel like everyone is gaslighting both me dan about the ringtone, that's literally the way I've always heard it I would have never even fathomed that it could be a debate lmao
me leaving the dinner table to watch the new dan and phil video like I'm 14 again and not a fully grown 20 year old with a job and a quarter of a degree
Okay Dan & Phil will probably never see this but i’m a philosophy nerd and i can’t help myself with the dilemma at 5:58 Dan that’s not a controversial opinion! Or maybe it could be, but your thinking along the lines of Buddhist and later Greek atomists, that we are just groupings of atoms in a particular arrangement and we experience a narrative view of the self! For buddhist atomists, self doesn’t actually exist. The project of Nirvana is actually to dispense with the self and to discorporate your atoms so you can cease to exist in the void of nothingness. And Phil is being a Cartesian here! Believing in the existence of an immaterial soul that can’t be duplicated! There’s a seperation from the mind and the body, where the body dies at the end of your life but there’s some immaterial substance (your personality, your feelings, what makes you) that persists! Anyways, love you guys.
dan and phil wearing shirts of each other’s faces is a whole new level of friendship goals
This is so fvckin funny 😂
it's so true tho
its giving ice king & Finn's matching sweatshirts from adventure time 😂😂😂
the way I stared at their shirts for way too long before getting it lol
I read this comment before looking at what they were wearing & got a nice surprise laugh so thanks😂
phil choosing to be immortal and dragging dan along with him because he loves him is so incredibly on brand I feel like it's happened in another life.
Dan's "You want to live forever? I'm bored NOW" is so iconic 😂

We are so back
dan's little snarl at 17:37 literally had me cry laughing

Why did I think this was a fan made compilation video of Phil getting on Dan’s nerves when it popped up 😂😂😂
I was hoping it was going to just be a freestyle event in which Phil purposefully tries to get on Dan's nerves.
We've all had too many recommended comp vids and now every new DnPGames video is gonna be confusing af for a minute for us w their titles 🤨
Because they *know*
no but SAME ahahaha

Phil justifying his Minecraft pants by saying “I’m unwell” is a whole ass mood
Dan having an existential crisis with the happy blue thingy jiggling around on his head @ 6:04 is too good
I didn't even realize, that's great xD
lmao the only thing that was missing was editor Phil zooming on on the little blue face
"i'm sorry i don't have a polyphonic voice that does chords" is such an underrated moment honestly
5:30
"I'm not well!" "When are you ever well?"

Said the man who wrote a book he just advertised on the video about mental health 😹

This is genuinely my favourite dan and phil era
All the chaos, all the gay, none of the anxiety.

The blob being on Dans head the whole time he's talking about existence, incredible
My favorite is when I think to myself "I wanna watch Dan and Phil. Maybe I'll binge the sims until they upload." Then I looked and they uploaded 30 mins ago
