I pay it. I want you guys to be able to vote too.

Dunno why you'd want to watch BBC sports coverage though.

It makes me really happy that there are photos of them hanging out with the crew and we just didn't see them yet also they look really good, shame about Dan's doge pose though
Also, wtf is Martyn doing in the bottom left photo?

Offtopic from here until the end of time of this post:

thank you anathema helpful post

Re: nomination

look who else is nominated for the BBC teen awards. they are ONE vlogger.
i think thats the first time they are nominated.
does that mean they are no longer working for the BBC?

I don't think the BBC would change the rules in order to nominate Dan and Phil as part of some publicity stunt, that seems a bit biased I just can't see it. They would change the rules for fair and objective reasons, and there was probably some official procedure they went through to even change those rules Basically I believe in British bureaucracy enough to believe this
It made me laugh when I saw Emma post that like 'I'm not going to win lmfao but look everybody I'm nominated go vote for me'. I love her though.

Re: consent jokes
I've also noticed this. I remember him joking 'Dan's consent is not necessary' in a video somewhere ages ago so I think this has been going on a while, and I remember it because it struck me as an odd thing to say. visiblelurker your post was well written and compelling. However, I agree with eevee on this one. They strike me as jokes, part of Dan's inappropriate sense of humour, but I don't know why he has to drag the word 'consent' into the joke, I can see why it would be problematic.

Re: Pokemon Go Video

alittledizzy congrats on having written that post

Yes to me it looks like his brain is going "don't react don't react don't react -----> sex joke"

Someone in the comments section noticed that the video title 'What team?' reminded them of High School Musical. I wonder if this was conscious since:
At 3:26 above.
Phil: "Hang on, we've been filming this for about half an hour and I haven't noticed that T-Shirt."
Dan: "What~~ What's wrong with this?" *smiling* *starts singing high school musical numbers*
Phil: *shakes head* *looks unimpressed but slightly charmed* *mimes slitting his throat*



The 'What team?' part from High School Musical is at 2:43 - I totally do not know this because I used to have an unironic obsession with high school musical nope nope definitely not Yes, this whole post was largely an excuse to rewatch 's 'Would You Rather ..?' video

Oh it was definitely conscious, that boy is High School Musical obsessed.

Good to see from Cornelia's instagram that did hang out with the crew.

Oh no, that was for sure on purpose. (It was actually the first thing I noticed.) There's also a photo somewhere of Dan in a Wildcat jersey a fan gave him. I thought it was on his Instagram, but I guess not, because I don't see it

Off the vote is not available outside the UK. I didn't want to vote anyway. I have better things to do, like trying to sleep 1 hour more.

Aaaaaaand yet again the BBC showing they fail to grasp how the internet works. Fuckssake Auntie, sort your shit out.

Luckily, there are ways to make your location *appear* that it is actually in the UK.... The sad news for non-UK listeners to the BBCR1 service is that iPlayer is now going to be subject to tax / licensing fees.

Considering they won't even let me watch their Twitter videos of the Olympics, we're all real lucky that the BBC ever even agreed to making D&P's radio shows available worldwide :')

How funny would it be if even in the case someone else won the BBC would rig the poll in order to declare the winners and then have them announce their new show at the event as some kind of promo stunt? what if this actually happens

Pls bbc

Awww cute! Giving me a lovely mental image right there

I think it is more than this. I think HSM was formative in his interest in drama, a desire to pursue a career / perform on YT, and one inspiration for the tour. On a side note, I also think he has / had a crush on (the non-hench) Zac Efron, in a professional / aspirational / role-modelly / platonic way.

I think there may have been a *ban* of sorts on crew-hanging out photos for the sake of the doc / tour book. Since it appears that the Aus tour will not be in the TB (unless some white space was reserved), such *restrictions* could be loosened somewhat.

It's just interesting that Dan will post a pic of only him and Phil as if they are alone when in fact they are with a whole group of people. Idk why that is. Is it fanservice- giving people what he thinks they want to see?

Seems like fan service to me, but if he thinks I want to see another doge/butthole face selfie, I will personally grab the damn chopsticks and gouge my own eyes out. Seriously, they are so attractive, why?!?!?!

Maybe partly that and partly not knowing if other people would be ok with having their photos shown to millions of people on the internet.

internet crashed so I'll try another time

I don't think so ,for me it's more their desire to protect their non yt friends, they usually show only deppy and youtubers or already famous person, they even did it in the behind the scenes of tabinof We know that the phandom can get quite intense so I assume they are now used to do it always.

In this specific instance I'm inclined to think that they don't want to sic the phandom on the entire crew. There's a difference in fans lowkey knowing who the crew is and checking their social media, and in people feeling entitled to approach them or spam them with questions because Dan and Phil have publicly acknowledged them so it must be okay.

In the US tour there were four or five people regularly updating social media talking about tatinof while the rest (15-20 people) all kept quiet about it, presumably because they just didn't want that attention.

Dan and Phil aren't the most upfront (and have flat out lied before) to fans so my rule of thumb with them is to appreciate the cute stuff but always take it worth a grain of salt.

I don't personally think it's fanservice. Just because dan posted a photo of them together, doesn't mean he's implying they are indeed alone. He didn't state they are alone nor did he imply it anywhere in the post. The implying they are alone is all fan assumption, to be honest. Just like the whole "they went on a date" thing last year when really they went to dinner with the publishers. I agree with the second part of what mez29 said for sure. I can't imagine people who work for them being too thrilled with people trying to find out who they are and being invasive. Not to mention all the pointless rumors that would start because of it. Dan and Phil don't really like to put their other friends or coworkers out there on the Internet because of that.

I don't think it was that formative in his interest in drama, seeing as he was nearly 15 when it came out, and he's talked about being in drama when he was a lot younger than that. I'm pretty sure the reason he likes it is just because it was a thing to like it back then, and it just stuck with him (And about the "crush" thing, wouldn't "admire" be a better choice of words?)

I agree with Dizzy here, I think that there are just people who don't want that kind of attention so deppy are mindful of that. thoughtful if you ask me.

If you want to, you can think of anything they do as fanservice...isn't everything they do...a service...to the fans?

I agree with the reasons others have given as to why he might avoid showing people other than him and Phil on instagram like respecting their privacy etc but also it's important to remember the phandom don't have any chill. If Dan had took a picture of Phil and the girl sitting beside him and put that on instagram (even if she is crew) there would be some fans straight on it with the OMG IS THAT HIS GF??? style comments and it could lead to unnecessary drama which we know they hate. Why risk it?

That being said I do partially agree it was fan service because he has 3.3 million followers on instagram so yeah he will be uploading stuff on there based on what he thinks the fans want to see. Really all their public social media accounts are there largely for fan service and not personal use.
