Definitely a top moment of the show for me:

and remember when when the occasional joint liveshows used to be led by the person whos account it was on, and the other person was very much "the guest". Then came Rize (RIP) with the joint account and hence jointly balanced liveshows. Now post-tour, despite going back to individual YouNow accounts, the joint liveshows are continuing to be truly joint. A true reflection of what we're seeing on AP too (with the Pumpkin Carving video going as far as to open with a shot of Dan).glitterintheair wrote: Thu Nov 08, 2018 9:48 pm speaking of joint things, are now joint liveshows a Thing we can expect every week? damn, i remember when joint shows were a rarity and people kept wishing for them, and now look at this. 2018, man.
P: phanwedding says, “quiz”
D: obvzkate. There we go.
P: Brianna. “The VR one,” said cobra.
D: Did you just read “phanwedding” out?
P: phanwedding. Oh, yeah. I didn’t realize what I’d read.
D: We--We did not play the game known as phanwedding on the chat.
P: phanwedding. No. That was the person’s name. Uh. “My heart stopped,” said Becca.
D: Are your eyes okay?
P: That was the person’s name!
P: Why do houses just go, “Bah!”
D: Oh, it’s the--it’s the pipes expanding.
P: Yeah, sure.
D: What?
P: Janet. Your pipes are expanding. Janet.
D: Woah, you--Janet has a condition, and that’s very personal.
P: Ooh!
D: --they were coming from somewhere--
P: Broke it. Right down my throat, that did. That could have been the end of me again.
D: Call Chris and PJ.
P: Oh, my God.
D: It’s time for the slap. Um. #ChristmasDisaster.
P: Yeah.
D: Bad name for a video.
P: This is a lot of stuff to be in my mouth right now. I think I need to either spit it out or be quiet for a while. Um. It’s not even nice. I’m gonna just spit it--
D: I’m not gonna say--I’m just--Wow. Uh, I’m--I apologize. I’m really, really upset.
P: Ugh, this is gross. I was going to say--
D: That la--That entire thirty seconds happened. What was I saying? Yeah.
P: Someone on Twitter showed me how to open it. Did you see the like I did?
D: Yeah.
P: See you sooner than you’d like...I don’t know what that means.
D: Okay. And that’s a threat.
I think that fan reaction is really just reflective of how the viewer was feeling in the moment, tense about how Dan and Phil would play it out. Even after watching back the clip, I didn’t notice just how much Phil was laughing and the smiling eye contact until I saw a gif set, gifs are good that way, they allow you to focus on body language. I then of course rewatched the clip and yeah, it’s a nice moment.

They're... just.... both laughing? Like, Dan didn't even have to call back the moment, but he wanted to roast Phil for reading it without thinking - because he knew that's exactly what Phil had done - and it reads to me as much more self awareness of things they generally try not to say than genuine tension over Phil saying it.
I mean since it seems like a storytime that maybe took place at home, with possible skits, I think it would be natural to film in their lounge, maybe with the hospital bits being filmed in the slounge (white tiles, the glass divider of Dan’s filming space). But if they were out when it happened I guess all bets are off. Still I just want to move forward from “hey guys!” from those bright bedsheets. Not that I don’t appreciate the nostalgia, but I just want more of this grown up, confident and more natural Phil. I’m hoping for the intro and narration to take place from an arm chair or sofa.ratlad wrote: Fri Nov 09, 2018 8:14 am i think that it would be filmed in the AP room, i don't know where else he'd choose if not.. maybe the slounge? in their actual living room? would he even address it? idk man, but i would be perfectly fine if he just decides to film in that little bread box of his.
+1 for this! I’ve just got this gut feeling like if we ever see the broom closet again, it’ll be done completely different and very obviously not trying to be passed off as his bedroom. If anything, maybe it’ll just be a different angle/ set up like Dan’s nook.kavat wrote: Fri Nov 09, 2018 2:14 pm I would love if it was filmed in the storage cupboard but it's been transformed into an office/filming nook, and he just Haru the whole thing. When asked about it he just answers "what do you mean, I haven't redecorated my bedroom at all". One can dream![]()
I think it's mostly just the fan perception that Phil is not the same person he was a year ago and the AmazingPhil filming space is really the only thing that he hasn't shifted in a noticeable way - which is because he hasn't had to, he hasn't filmed proper full sit down video there in eight months. (So technically if changing it is something he did want to do he's had more time to deliberate on that than he did the quiff, which he said he went back and forth on for about six months. Phil is still Phil and he still likes his nostalgic Phil things.)vacule wrote: Fri Nov 09, 2018 7:39 pm Am I missing something? Why do we think Phil is going to change his room? I appreciate that he has been more openly crude than usual, but I'm not convinced he'll change his video background as that seems far more drastic to me than his quiff, and that took him a long time to accept.
