- Hi.
I'm a guy that doesn't know things.
And today, I'm gonna guess, judge,
and review things about your faves
with zero context.
'Cause what is a better way
of getting the internet on your side
than risking offending every fandom in one video?
I probably have no idea who or what any of these things are.
So I'm just gonna go off what I've heard in the streets,
or the sheets.
This is all in good fun.
I'm sure your faves are lovely.
But you did submit them, so it's your fault.
And please, don't blow my house down.
(light music)
This is BTS.
And in fear of imminent fandom wrath and war,
they are beautiful, talented, can do no wrong,
and are better than me.
My fave, or I should say bias,
is J-Hope, as my friend Briney
said I'm quite similar to them.
But obviously they're better, and I'm a complete sludge.
And (laughs) I also like that they cosplayed
as mine and Dan's bedsheets,
which I saw on Twitch the other day.
That's Dan doing a meet and greet.
No, it's Wilbur Soot and his friends, or maybe his band.
That's his band.
I know he's musical.
It's the Soot Stars.
The Soot...
I don't know what they're called.
Wilbur and the Wombats.
I'm sure they've got a cooler name than that.
Trixie and Katya.
Sometimes they remind me of me and Dan.
I don't know if it's Trixie's laugh.
(Trixie laughing)
(Dan laughing)
It's a 21 Pilot.
You know, I don't actually know
what the other one looks like.
I only see this guy, who is Tyler...
Joshua Dun?
I wanted to say... (laughs)
Oh, I feel terrible.
Yeah, great midriff.
I wish I could pull off a crop top.
He's looking good.
Minecraft.
Okay, block lovers.
You know I know how to Minecraft.
Nothing's happening.
Maybe I'm just jealous.
You guys can make entire cities out of blocks.
Meanwhile, my raft in Zelda looks like this.
All right, I'm gonna guess some things from the game
with no context.
This is a floral rug
that you use to decorate your mine cave.
This is a three-headed tadpole.
Quite hard to hit, but when you do, you get good loot.
That is the eye of a dragon.
That is an aubergine. (laughs)
Used for inappropriate block messaging,
but also nutritious.
This, it's like an Air Wick.
You put it in the house that you built,
and then it releases a floral scent
so you can have friends over, and it'll smell nice.
But then the monsters won't come in.
How did I do?
Probably terrible.
It's the FNAF-matronics.
Are people actually fans of those?
They do eat children's faces, you know.
If you are, and it's like a furry-adjacent thing,
then great, express yourself.
I don't actually know their names.
Freddy, Chica, and Bob?
If I have to stan one, it has to be Bob the Rabbit.
He can serenade me before he eats my face.
It's the sexy fish (laughs) from Zelda.
He did give me confusing feelings.
That is the sexiest human fish I've ever seen in my life.
I'm a fan.
If there was a poster or a plushie,
I would get it and put it above my bed.
"Good Omens", they've got a big fan base.
I know nothing about this.
I think David Tennant might be the devil,
and the other one's an angel,
and then they might be gay or something.
I hope so.
That would be a good concept, wouldn't it?
It's an ass.
Oh, it's Waterparks, Awsten Knight.
I had some beef with him the other month on Twitter,
but we squashed it, and we now follow each other
and are best friends.
I'm jealous of his hair, to be honest.
I'm in a bit of a hair funk at the moment.
Maybe I should have hair like him.
Would it suit me?
Are these people the Dream SMP?
I'm gonna be honest.
I don't know what an SMP is.
I keep seeing it.
I'm like, "Yep, don't know what that is."
Sexy Minecraft party maybe.
No?
The M must be Minecraft.
I don't know how many Minecraft YouTubers are in that.
I know of Tommy and also Will
because he looks like Dan.
From these guys, I think that's Dream.
I can't really tell.
I know more about him from the face reveal stuff
than anything else.
I didn't know that much before that.
Pretty sure this one's George.
This one at the back, I don't know.
I'm gonna say Dave.
Or maybe he's got like an online Minecrafty name,
like Block-Lord or Squish.
I think this one is Carl.
I think he did an interview with Anthony.
That's how I know him.
Does he kind of remind anyone
of the Dan and Phil face swap? (laughs)
Sorry.
Yeah, generally I don't know much about them.
But I'm happy they've created a big fandom,
and people are making friends
through it all and stuff like that.
Bastille Dan.
I once forced him into a tent,
and I don't think he had the best time when he got in there.
We should get out of here.
This, I keep seeing all over gay Twitter.
I have no idea. (laughs)
I have no idea who it is.
I need to...
I need to find out more just because I feel like,
as a gay, I should understand it.
These guys all have some great hair.
We need to pick my new hair.
What about half a quiff, like this person on the right.
Maybe that's the way I should go, like bring it down.
That could work, or blue.
Would I look like I'm having a midlife crisis
if I suddenly have blue hair?
Maybe.
This is KSI.
Why does YouTuber boxing gotta be so popular?
Couldn't it have been like YouTube and mini golf?
Then I would have been able to do well.
I just feel like boxing would give me a headache. (laughs)
I'm a very fragile person.
If I walk into a wardrobe,
I'm like, "Oh, that's me for the day.
"I've got a headache now."
So I cannot imagine getting clocked in the face by him.
It's "Heartstopper".
What are they called?
Kit and Joe in real life.
In the show, I've completely forgotten. (laughs)
Oh, my god.
It's Nick and...
James?
What just... (laughs)
Sorry, it's been so long since I've watched it.
The characters have gone out of my head
'cause I just know the celebrities now.
"Heartstopper" makes me feel two things.
Firstly, it makes me feel a bit sad on the inside
because me growing up
would never even imagine holding another boy's hand,
walking through the school corridors and stuff like that.
So I'm just kind of sad for myself at that age,
not having things like this to watch
and realize that it could be normal,
and everything would be okay.
But I'm really happy that it's out there
and on TV now and so popular,
and everyone is getting exposed to the fact
that queer relationships are normal.
It's just a great thing,
and I'm really happy it exists.
Well done, Alice Oseman.
Genshin Impact, I've never played it.
My friend Brian is obsessed with it.
And we went on a five-hour pilgrimage
trying to find Genshin Impact merch in Japan,
which we did find.
It is here, if you ever go to Japan and wanna find it.
Whatever's happening to this character looks a bit painful.
I hope they're okay.
All right, I'm gonna choose a fave from the characters.
No, no, maybe.
Yes, Kaeya, King of the Pirates.
All right, okay, that's my fave.
Ooh, maybe Diluc, the wealthiest gentleman.
Take me on your private jet.
Hannibal and his apprentice.
I wanna say Jim.
There's a lot of sexual tension in this image.
I know they were shipped together a lot,
but I don't know if they were actually gay
or they were about to kiss
or he was about to eat him
or both.
I haven't watched it,
but my guess is there's a lot of sexual tension,
and then one of them kills the other one.
And then they cry a lot.
It's Leigh-Anne from previously Little Mix.
Do you know, whenever we did interviews,
I loved meeting Little Mix
'cause they were always really up for it.
They wanted to do the games.
They always remembered us and were like,
"Oh, hey, Dan and Phil.
"Like your shoes," or something like that.
They were lovely.
That is Dan and Phil.
I have no idea who that is.
I wanna be their friend.
Let me join you in the dandelion garden.
It's Negan.
He has fans?
How can people be a fan of this horrific monster?
I...
I don't know.
He ruined the show in many ways for me
based on the thing that happened.
I'm not gonna spoil it.
But loads of people I know
stopped watching around that time.
But I kept going, but I have not redeemed Negan in my mind
for what he did.
It's Steps. (laughs)
The Steps fandom.
(laughs) Sorry.
What are Steps fans called?
I used to really like Steps unironically when I was like 12.
But then I'd go to school and be like,
"Oh, Steps are so lame."
But then I'd get home and secretly listen to them
and be like, "Tragedy!"
I don't know what they're up to now,
but I hope they're having a nice life.
What the hell is that? (laughs)
I don't know what this is.
I don't wanna know.
I don't think I should be involved
in this conversation.
"One Piece", I know nothing about "One Piece".
I know that they're on a ship.
Is that the one piece?
It's Formula 1.
Everything I know about Formula 1 is secondhand
through Dan against my will.
But I've kind of got a little bit into it.
We've got Lando and Daniel Ricciardo, I wanna say.
Am I right?
Hopefully.
Otherwise, Dan's gonna be annoyed.
It's Pierre and Carlos, I think. (laughs)
This person, Corpse Bride.
No, Corpse Husband.
I don't know anything about them.
I know they did a lot of Among Us
in the Among Us times, Amogus,
and PJ might have played a game.
So that's why I know it.
He's got a voice that's like this,
which is very mysterious.
I don't know if they've ever revealed their face
or if they actually have cat ears.
This one, "Supernatural".
They're always just covered in blood
and hugging in that show. (laughs)
Ooh, that band has a lot of members.
How many have we got?
I'm gonna guess they're called 13
because there are 13 of them.
The one on the right is 100% my bias.
I wish I could pull off
a stripey green and white cohort like that.
Looking amazing.
Hello, everyone, my name is Markiplier.
I like Markiplier.
I've met him twice I think,
and both times, he was very charming.
Very good looking in person,
and just very charismatic.
He's one of those people that, when they're talking,
you just wanna listen.
I think it's the voice.
He's just like, "Hello."
And you're like, "Whoa, whoa."
And now I'm suddenly aware that my voice is really shrill.
The first time I met him was at VidCon,
and he was filming a collab from his channel in a hotel room
and just having, like, a train of YouTubers come in
and do things in front of a green screen.
Of course the first thing I did was trip over my own legs,
fall over, and bang into his light.
Oh, my god! (all laughing)
- [YouTuber] Please tell me that was recording.
- I'm sorry.
I told you I'd break everything.
- No, the light!
- And I ruined the whole shot and the continuity of it.
And he could have just been like, "Jesus Christ, Phil."
But he was very nice.
Wow. (laughs)
Is that an actual character from a comic?
I mean, that is an ass.
I feel like it is now the time
to give skimpy outfits to the guy superheroes.
And I'm curious to see more.
Looks like this guy had a fun time with Grimace.
It's from JoJo.
I've watched a bit of it.
I'm gonna say it, it wasn't for me 100%.
I get why it's good.
It just gave me a bit of a headache.
Ooh!
See, my eyes went to the cake first.
I think that... (laughs)
Not the shiny, topless man, but the cake.
I think that shows a lot about my priorities.
Oh, it's Fallout Boy.
I still feel bad that I made Pete unfollow Dan.
That was like a formative moment
from his teenage years that I ruined (laughs)
with a tweet about a kinky reindeer.
Is this "The Sandman"?
Or is it the person in "The Sandman"?
I've never watched it.
But I'm just happy there's someone out there
that is paler than me on Netflix
'cause it shows that I could go somewhere one day as well.
Liam, Leon.
He's a very sexy cop.
He can save me from the zombies any day.
What else we got?
Taylor Swizzle.
I loved meeting Taylor Swift.
Do you know, she was so nice.
I know everyone's like, "Oh,
"I met someone, and they were so nice," like a flex.
But she actually was really nice.
I may have nearly drawn on her back in sharpie,
which may have soured our relationship just a little bit.
Great human.
It's "My Hero Academia".
The other day, my dad called me.
He was like, "I've been watching some 'Academia'
"on Netflix."
I was like, "Do you mean 'My Hero Academia'?"
I watch it.
I'm all caught up.
I love it, it's great.
Deku, Bakugo, they've got tension.
I know there's lots of fans of Bakugo.
I did think he was a bit too mean throughout his life.
Like, chill out, man.
This looks like a random guy,
so I'm guessing Twitch streamer.
Oh, these were submitted together.
Twitch streamer for sure, and it's a Twitch streamer.
Rafael, Blake, James.
I have no idea who these people are,
but they are a lot cooler than me.
I think my fave would be this one with the hair.
Oh, they're taking one of those old-fashioned pictures
where you've got to sit really still.
I cannot sit still for more than two minutes.
That's why they're all looking a bit frustrated
'cause they're like, "Come on, Phil.
"This is the eighth time we're trying
"to audition you to be in the band,
"and it's just not working."
Ooh, I don't know what this is,
but I wish I was there.
Those leather pants look a bit chafey though.
Not sure it's the best choice for this scenario.
Oh, my god. (laughs)
I was just saying I wanted swooshy hair,
and this has ruined it.
This is a person from, what's the show, "Grey's Anatomy".
I guess he's called something
like Dr. Blake or something like that.
I've never watched it.
But oh, my god, I should not have his hair.
This is a mistake of science.
Jepic.
It is Jedward.
They've always been supporters
of me and Dan in various ways.
One time, we were about to do our show,
and they tweeted, "We're outside, let us in."
But we had no time.
We had to just go out on stage.
And also, I think they thought if Jedward sat
in front of one of the cameras with that hair,
it might ruin the entire filming.
So yeah, sorry we never got back to you.
It was just a very chaotic day.
I think they should come back for Eurovision a third time.
Oh, my favorite cat boy from Final Fantasy 14.
I also play as a cat boy,
which is usually a sign that you are queer in some way.
That is a pose, Pedro.
He's doing that for a certain audience, isn't he?
I'm a fan,
even more so after seeing that picture.
Do you know what?
Out of everyone that sent me pictures for this,
there was so much Louis Tomlinson.
I'd say he was the most popular thing to receive,
which was unexpected.
In a lot of the pictures, he's just stood in a street
holding a can of some kind.
He's got two Red Bulls here.
You know what the collective name for this fan base is?
Tommos?
Tomlin-Stans.
That's a good one.
If you're not using that, what are you doing?
"Our Flag Means Death".
All I know is, it's the gay pirate show.
I never got 'round to watching it
'cause, when I wanted to, it wasn't available.
I think it is now.
I will watch it at some point.
I think this one in the middle
is everyone's favorite character.
That's who I see the most gifs of.
I bet he's got a fancy name like Charles or Montgomery.
I think my favorite character would be the seagull though.
Wow. (laughs)
Djungelskog.
It's only 25 quid.
The giant IKEA bear.
I didn't realize it had a fandom,
but I understand why
because it is the best thing you could buy from IKEA.
Ooh, someone submitted their fursona.
Are you trying to gain a fandom for it?
Or does it have a fandom?
I don't know.
But I know that smoking is bad,
especially for wolf-icorns.
Hello, Stray Kids.
I don't know any of their names.
This one is my fave 'cause of the jacket.
I want that jacket.
Probably costs like 20,000 pounds.
Or this one, just having ski goggles
as part of your outfit is commendable.
So those two are my faves.
Who are those dickheads?
I don't know, don't wanna know anything about them.
(dramatic music)
I think I did better than I thought I would.
I kind of knew most of them a little bit at least.
I like to think I have my finger
on the pulse of pop culture.
Like, me and Dan were pioneers in the use of uss-ification.
Tactical shot gussy.
- He's got the clock-ussy.
- Cut out that bunny nuzzle shape.
- That nuzz-ussy.
- And I'm sorry about that. (laughs)
And on the other hand, I find myself waking up at four a.m.
and googling, "Why did Grimace rizz baby Gronk,"
just so I can feel my youth not slip away.
Still kind of with it.
It's all good.
I know fandom and all of the implications of it
is a very complex topic.
But I think overall, it is a good thing
because it brings people together, common interests.
You can make art.
You can make friends.
The whole thing just, to me,
feels like a very nice way of showing your interests
and getting to chat about them.
And I kind of wish I had it
when I was obsessed with Buffy.
I would have been so annoying on Twitter.
My face would have been (laughs) Spike
for I'm sure three years.
But yeah, if you enjoyed this,
please give me a thumbs up.
You can subscribe over here.
Check out my last video,
where Dan forced me to try loads of food I hate,
including cheese.
It was very traumatic.
So if you've not checked that out, give it a watch.
I hope you're having a lovely day.
And I will see you very soon, bye.
