- Hiya, loves.
So with most technology, I'm usually a quick adopter.
Like YouTube,
I was the first ever (Phil laughing amusingly) user.
I've had Twitter for 57 years,
I've had Tumblr from before some of you guys were born.
There is one thing that I've been scared
to dip my toes into, the lady pond.
(Phil laughing amusingly) No.
No, Tiktok! (dramatic tone playing)
I don't know why,
I've just never felt like I wanted to use it.
But so many of my friends are like,
"I'm on TikTok everyday, it's so good."
Loads of you are tweeting me TikToks, tweeting about TikTok.
In the past, whenever I've opened the app,
it's really been off-putting 'cause as soon as I look at it,
it's like boobs, fights, people having fights against boobs.
And I asked my friend who uses it all the time,
and they said, "No Phil, you have to train your algorithm."
She told me to use the app for more than 30 seconds
and like things that I actually like.
This is me (Phil laughing amusingly)
about liking things apparently.
Anyway, I did that and I saw my algorithm transforming,
moving away from boobs, and fights, and boob fights,
into gay stuff. (magical music playing)
'Cause I must have liked a shirtless guy or something.
Then I got load of guys with six packs,
and I don't wanna be looking at that with my cereal.
Maybe other times of the day.
Then I got like more gay humor, interior design, animals,
so I feel like it's learning.
I thought it'd be interesting to delve into my likes
and see what kinda person I am, why did I like them,
and also hopefully have a laugh along with you guys.
Some of these, you might be like,
"Wow Phil, that is such an old meme,"
but I don't know, I've never used TikTok before!
I don't know what the references are,
I don't know what's new, I don't know what's old.
And I think that is quite a good experiment
to see what it's like as a new user
'cause you've all been on it for ages
and I'm like a fresh lamb
skipping into TikTok for the first time.
This phone case has reduced 90% of my productivity.
Yes, ooh. (calming music playing)
Let's just see what the algorithm gives me
the first time I log in.
Alright.
Oh my God, is this showing me 'WHSmith? No!
(Phil laughing surprisingly)
I used to work here!
That is so weird that it is showing me this.
It does know me!
How is it inside my brain?
Oh my God, that till, the vouchers!
You've gotta scan one of those vouchers
with every single purchase.
Even if someone just wants a chewing gum,
you gotta be like, "Take the voucher!"
I'm having flashbacks to working the lotto machine as well
and people would be like, "I just want one Lucky Day"-
(droning music playing)
"And I want three EuroMillions, but not the same week,
so Friday then Thursday"...
I'd just be looking at the lottery machine like,
"What does it mean?"
I feel your pain.
Anyway, we're not just browsing my feed,
we're looking at my likes.
What is the first thing I ever liked?
- [Automated Voice] I can't believe
this happened on my flight.
- I do not remember this at all.
"Caution, horses."
(deep buzzing oscillating)
(Phil laughing amusingly)
That's so stupid!
That is just my sense of humor though!
Unexpected horse!
Wait, I don't remember this one.
- [Curious Friend] Hi, sorry, what are you listening to?
- Sorry?
- [Curious Friend] What are you listening to?
- Oh, yah!
(Phil laughing amusingly)
- I knew that that was coming!
This was a good one if you've watched "Stranger Things."
(metal clanging gently)
Vecna!
No!
No dog, stop!
(ominous music playing)
Oh, he's just going in the pool. (Phil laughing gently)
I thought he was gonna go down into the pipe system
or something, jeez.
When you know the context behind the video,
that's actually really cute.
It's made its own slide!
Oh my God, I love this account!
- [Person Who Can't Cook] Oh boy,
I sure wish I knew how to fry an egg.
- This is my favorite one.
Let's fry an egg.
(creature screaming horribly)vv
- [Person Who Can't Cook] Oh, there's my little chef.
(creature screaming horribly)
- [Monster Chef] Oil!
- Oil!
It's so horrifying, I wanna be his best friend.
- [Monster Chef] Egg!
(creature screaming horribly)
- [Person Who Can't Cook] Oh, very nice.
(creature screaming horribly)
Thanks, buddy.
(creature screaming horribly)
- Okay, it got a bit demonic there at the end.
I like this 'cause I wanted to show Dan,
'cause I think this is what would happen if I lived alone
and decorated all by myself.
It's these guys that have got an apartment in Australia
and it's completely filled with color, and knick-knacks,
and weird furniture.
It's even a bit much for me to be honest,
but I do like the vibes.
The house does have the perfect mix of Philisms and Danisms,
but when he goes on tour, you better watch out.
The pig's gonna get some friends.
(goofy laughing sound clip playing)
I found this really iconic and I don't know why,
she's just... (Phil laughing amusingly)
She's just posing with her ice cream.
She's having a great day.
It looks delicious.
Not gonna lick it though, no, just "Look at me.
You don't have an ice cream, Phil."
Oh this is very relevant to me,
"Plants That Survived My Sister's Care Therefore,
Can Survive Anything."
I liked this one for inspiration,
just so I wouldn't kill plants.
But speaking of plants, look at my freaking pathos!
It is never-ending.
And this is all thank you to the sponsor of the video,
Skillshare!
If you remember the last time I spoke about Skillshare,
I said it was gonna watch some plant classes, which I did.
Christopher Griffin, @plantkween, set me off.
I noticed that he had a second class,
which is all about propagating a plant.
So I could give a piece of this as a present to someone.
I got my snippy snippys.
They said you've gotta snip beneath the node,
which is this bit.
Snip.
(surprised gasping sound clip playing)
Sorry.
And then just place it in water,
make sure the node is fully covered.
And then it's gonna start making roots,
which means I basically cloned my plant.
There's also another class by Ekta Chaundry,
which is all about growing your own food.
So if you wanna give yourself a new skill,
like a Pokemon leveling up,
there are thousands of other classes on there.
Like if you wanna juggle, there's a juggling class.
You can click the link below,
and the first 1000 of ya that do
will get a one-month free trial of Skillshare!
Be quick before they run out.
Sorry for chopping off your arm.
And this is important content here.
(adventurous music playing)
They are on a mission!
I have to watch that again.
Yes!
Oh!
They're so streamlined.
Alright, "Gift for a kind dog," here we go.
So got the treat,
going on a trip through the city.
Wow, this dog's really earned it if he's gone all this way.
On a train?
(panicked yelling sound clip playing)
(Phil laughing amusingly)
Dog was having none of that.
Oh, I love this one.
This guy was the gay
that turned his entire house into Disneyland.
Well just watch it,
it gives me that nostalgic pang for being a kid.
- [Excited Kid] I now pronounce Disney UK open!
- Oh my God, the tea cups.
- [Mother] Don't do it that fast for Grandma!
- Oh, grandma feels sick.
- Gently turn around.
- It's computer automated.
(Grandma laughing joyfully)
- That's so cute.
It's so nice
that their family just fully embraced the entire adventure.
When I was about six,
we couldn't afford to go to Disney, Florida,
but in Manchester
they had a pop-up advertising Disneyland, Paris.
And they had like 1/10th size fake cardboard castle.
My parents took me there and Mickey Mouse was there,
and they were like, "Look Phil, we're at Disneyland!
Hug Mickey!"
And in my head I was like, "This is Disneyland,
in the Arndale Center in Manchester?
Why are people obsessed with this? This is crap."
Ooh randomized "Pokemon" tattoos, I love this.
I feel like if you go to this place,
you have to get whatever's revealed.
Wow, look at that!
That's a cool one, Nidorino.
Koffing!
If I got one, I'd probably get a Psyduck
'cause it's a bit clumsy, dizzy,
gets headaches all the time, just like me.
This guy...
- [Automated Voice 2] Back home a little drunk last night.
- A little drunk.
What is this guy's house? I don't understand.
They've got so many gadgets.
What is this laser for your suit?
A drawer of strawberries?
You got three of these things.
You're playing radio to your underwater strawberries, okay.
Ooh, we're going up the lift.
Shaving with a tomato?
A mask.
What is that machine? We'll never find out.
A toothbrush hatch?
There's just so many gadgets!
What's this, what's that, why is there a mask?
What is going on? (menacing music playing)
(heavy breathing sound clip playing)
What the hell is this orange?
I'm not so many videos of this orange,
I don't understand why.
Why is it so juicy, why is it covered in powder?
Then the comments are super weird as well.
He just replies with happy hearts for everything.
"My lungs collapsed while swimming."
"My father left me today."
"I have an incurable disease
that makes me spontaneously combust
when I'm met with this emoji."
(Phil laughing amusingly)
I don't know what's going on with this orange.
And then I got this parody of the orange,
which I really enjoyed.
(vlogger blowing strongly)
The bird noise. (Phil laughing amusingly)
(vloggers cawing comedically)
This is so disgusting.
Did I like this?
That's why I keep getting these goddam eel pit videos,
right?
This guy, he's got an eel pit (Phil laughing gently)
in his house.
Why do you have an eel pit in your house?
Just a camping chair and loads of eels? I'm not sure.
(Phil laughing gently) Yes, goodbye.
I think that was just before he left.
Look at this guy with a crow as a friend.
See, this is gonna be me and Steve.
He's making a little nest on his head.
Now TikTok's like,
"Do you like people with birds on their heads?
Well, have some more."
What is this?
- [Magician] Excuse me, sir?
- Hello.
- [Magician] Would you like to see him magic trick?
- Oh yes, sure.
- [Magician] Check under your foreskin.
- Oh my God!
(Phil laughing amusingly)
- How does that only have 692 views?
I love this series.
♪ What's under that rock? ♪
This person just lifts up rocks
and shows us what's underneath.
- [Nerd Vlogger] Baby sea stars.
- Look at these things!
Oh my God, imagine if you lifting up a rock and saw that.
They can't be in England.
I liked this yesterday.
Are you ready for the biggest plot twist of your lives?
- [Street Vlogger] What's this place called?
Is it the Barn Cafe or the Cafe Barn?
No, it's Cafe The Barn.
- Cafe The Barn?
I kinda wanna go to Cafe The Barn now.
PJ showed me this account and I can't stop watching it.
It's just a guy showing magic tricks,
but then he's got little friend.
- Human flesh, but it'll chop through vegetables.
So here's my question, what would you use it for?
(monster screaming horrifically)
(Phil laughing amusingly)
I watched about 17 of these
and I just don't get bored of it.
(monster screaming horrifically)
- [Distorted Voice] We're breaking free!
(horrific chaotic sounds blaring)
- Oh my God.
(Phil laughing amusingly)
This is so demonic.
(horrific chaotic sounds blaring)
That is enough of those for today.
Overall, I've enjoyed my month on TikTok.
It's very addictive,
like I could definitely just spend three hours in a towel,
just scrolling through it.
You've gotta work to get the good stuff as well.
That felt like a very cozy hang.
I just wanna keep showing you things
that I've liked on the internet.
Maybe if I did another one,
I could watch some of your faves.
So if you want me to do that, gimme a thumbs up.
If you wanna stay on the Phil train,
(Phil laughing gently)
you can watch my last video where I leaked my phone number
and then read the unhinged text messages you all sent me.
Also, subscribe if you haven't, ding the bell.
Is the bell still thing? I dunno.
If it is, give it a ding.
Hope you're having a good day and I will see you very soon.
Goodbye!
