Phil (and Dan) react to 20 YEARS of AmazingPhil

- Hi, I'm Phil. Welcome to my video blog, which I hope you are very

excited to be a part of. It's been 20 years since I

made my first YouTube video. What? How is that even

possible when I'm 29 years old? Let's not think about it too much. The 27th of March, 2006. If anyone watching this wasn't

born when that happened, don't tell me that please, I'm gonna do the sentimental bit now, rather than at the end. I just wanted to thank

anyone that has been with me since the start, or in

the last year, or today, and enabling me to be a

professional silly billy for most of my life. If it wasn't for you, I

wouldn't be doing this, which is my dream life. So thank you very much. And today, to celebrate

this insane milestone, I'm gonna be doing a quick fire react of one video for every year that I've been on YouTube so we can see the journey of

little Phil on ancient YouTube through the years to this

sexy guy with a male podcast. Also, I might get Danny

in when he shows up (dramatic orchestral sting)

in the timeline. - I guess I'm gonna pop up at some point. - Oh.

- See you soon. - It all started when I got a

webcam in a cereal promotion, and it looks like (disgusted groaning)

(Phil laughs) there's like nine skater

belts on my radiator here, and I've got a clip-on microphone as well. - Hi, I'm Phil. Welcome to my video blog, which I hope you are very

excited to be a part of. (Phil laughs) - Already a little bit sarcastic. I'm so northern! How has my voice changed so much? Hi, I'm Phil. Welcome to my video blog. - You are a completely

different human being now - How have I- - Who in the (barking dog) is that? - How is that me? - You don't even look like that. - I know.

- What happened to your voice? - I don't know! - I got my mom this for Mother's Day. It's a monkey trapped in a cage! - I like that that's the first thing I wanted to share with the world. My brand new YouTube channel. I got my mom a monkey. You have to wonder, why was I even posting this kind of mundane chat? Not even looking at the camera. In 2006 most people weren't making entertaining YouTube content. It was kind of like a

Facebook status, right. Just gonna talk about the most mundane (dog barking) ever. Right, what have I

gotta tell the internet? - found 10 pounds in my washed jeans. - I found some money

in my jeans, everyone! (woman gasping) This is thrilling content. I can't believe anyone subscribed. - Oh, I've been talking for ages. - Talking for ages, it's

been one minute, 56, and I'm like, God, this

is a long YouTube video. My favorite thing is when

young people find this video, and they're like, wow, is that how video used

to look back in the day? And it's like, no. It was just a terrible camera

(technology beeping) that only filmed in black and white. Great start though. Good start.

(Phil clapping) Well done Philly. I still feel a bit sick when

I see that's 20 years ago. But anyway, my first ever

comment was from Madamerose. That said, you're so cute. - [Dan] Who do I need

to (dog barking) kill? (Phil laughing) - Love your accent, Las Vegas is a blast! And then the next comment says, They were not in love here yet. (sarcastic snorting) Contain yourselves. 2007, we got color! We got a slightly better haircut. It's gone a bit brown. And I'm dressed like Where's Wally. And what the hell am I about

to talk about on the internet? - Hey, I haven't done

one of these in a while, so I thought I may as well - Oh, knee up!

- put my new video camera to some good use - New camera. - My first piece of news is my new pet. He's called Harry. - I've got no idea what this is gonna be. I think it's gonna be a toy giraffe. We got text effects! You can tell my video

editing, already professional. Right, What's this gonna be? - He's a hamster.

- Oh! it's a hamster. - and here he is in his wheel. - Oh, I remember this! If you type it runs. - Harry works very, very

hard when I'm typing. - This is how I got through my essays. (electronic whirring) So this content I was definitely

making for an audience now. Not a big audience, but I was trying to be

a bit more entertaining than just being like,

I went down the stairs and I couldn't find my keys. This is my Uni bedroom as well. - Here's a (faintly speaking)

- Oh here we go. - To occupy the wall, because I'm a saddo. look at that.

- Saddo! - Got some other posters. - The Buffy obsession was strong. - Got an audition for The Weakest Link. - Pre weakest link audition. The gnu was about to ruin my life. - Gnu - [Game Show Host]

Correct answer is Llama. - 2008. We are entering my experimental era now. Brace yourselves. I was torn between The

Basket or Snokoplasm. We're going Snokoplasm. - Funny story. I realized I've run outta Snokoplasm. So I went to the local A47. Hello, Hi. - Oh! Immediately, incredible

emo hair, thirst trapping. I do have pajama bottoms wrapped around my neck like a scarf. - You're telling me that

I saw that and I was like, (enthusiastic yes) - I want a bit of this.

- I need to cyber stalk. - Blue, right? (Phil laughs) - You actually think I'd use blue? Come on, it's so obvious

that you use blue Snokoplasm. - Obviously uses blue. (eerie music)

- No, it's yellow all the way. Look at these muscles. I feel like this was a

homosexual allegory of some kind. I can't think of any other way to describe what's going on here, but we're in a different dimension where Snokoplasm is a regular thing you'd want from the shop. - Is this Snokoplasm green or yellow? - What do you think the color is? Dan? - [Dan] Green. - It's yellow. - Are you winding me up? (Phil laughs)

- It's yellow. - [Dan] That's green. - It's yellow! (Phil squeaks) (Phil laughs) - [Dan] So talk to me about why the (dog barking) you made that? What were you doing? - I was- - [Dan] Or smoking. - There was no money to

make on YouTube back then, so I wasn't really worried

about getting more subscribers or mainstream appeal

through these weird videos. I was just having fun. Time to get on camera, Danny. - I'm Welcome now, am I? - Yes.

- Okay. - 2009, when the Scrappy

Doo of my channel arrived. (Phil laughing) - What the actual (dog barking)

that is the worst thing - Sorry. - That anyone's ever said - We uploaded what was just a Q and A. We didn't think anything of it. We were just having fun. We just met! - And we destroyed the world. - Technically. It was a first date. (whirling sounds) (Phil laughing) - No, it was not. - This is how I flirt with all the boys. - Why do you always make cat whiskers on your face?

- Who are these chicklets? - What?

- Shut up. - I don't understand. - What does the giraffe sound like? - What does the giraffe sound like? - I mean look,

- Giraffe! - we've said everything there is to say about Phil is not on fire. - Over on our channel, we've reacted to every Phil is not on fire. - If you wanna see the extensive

review and tea on these, - Yeah, I'll put a card

up there somewhere. It made me realize, having someone to bounce off- - Is less lonely. - Maybe a different phrasing there. - I Wasn't- Oh my God! Why am I not picking up on these things? And why are you dropping them? - I don't know. But yeah, it made me realize I really like making videos with someone else. - Mmhm. And that the best else, is me. - This was the most fun I've ever had- Oh! - Ooh, so that was a thing. - That was a thing. - You're welcome. - But, in summer 2009, I got featured on the YouTube homepage with my interactive space adventure. - Your magnum opus. Okay, I'm gonna back up. This is your moment again. - YouTube had a feature called annotations where you could click

through to different videos. And I didn't think anyone

really made good use of it. And I thought, I know

I'm gonna do a whole ass, choose your own adventure with a hundred different

options, different videos. - This, Phil?

- Yes. - When I was just a

YouTube viewer, not maker, is the thing that made me

go this (dog barking) guy. He is the Christopher Nolan on YouTube. - Oh. - [Dan] Phil is unconscious. - Bottom up on the bed. - [Dan] Ass up on the bed, again. - He wakes, oh shit. - [Dan] The hair was hairing. - It was, it was great in this era. - [Dan] What happened? - I don't know. You are his only hope. (Dan gasps) Oh, I've got headache.

- [Dan] He's just got a headache. The stakes are so high! - I did drink a lot at

university, help him? - I don't know what to do next. - Poke Phil,

- [Dan] Wow! - Or explore. Now this is a whole experience that could be a whole other video. So as a bonus, over on Patreon,

we're gonna react to this. - [Dan] Oh my god. - And play it. - We're gonna play the

interactive space adventure. - Yeah. So if, if you wanna join in that, it is patreon.com/DanandPhil. Just outta curiosity, Are you gonna start by

poking me or exploring. - [Dan] Ew! - It is your choice! - [Dan] I would poke - 2010. I ate Mario! I filmed so many video blogs in 2010, all with names like this. So I've picked a random one. - Hello! So I'm filming

this with the hiccups. - No! I've had hiccups

for the last 48 hours. - [Dan] Oh my gosh. - It's a coincidence. - [Dan] The planetary

anniversary hiccup curse. - That's crazy. - Wait for it. (Phil hiccups) - My pupils are so big. Am I on some kind of drug there? - Try and cure them on camera with a method my brother taught me. - There you go.

- Drink a glass of water, upside down. (Phil hiccups) - This is what I should try. Oh my God! Phillip. - [Dan] Three for three. Phil is showing ass like

Pumba at the watering hole. What is happening? - You can see the full crease

of my butt cheek there. This was my first apartment in Manchester. I'd moved out, the rent was too high and I was trying to make as much money as I could through YouTube. Still need to attract some

people that find emo guys hot. That's what I'm doing there. - [Dan] What are those up (dog

barking) up Ikea bedsheets? - They're the fake Phed

sheets. They're my spare ones. - Also, guess who just

moved to Manchester? - Guess who just moved to Manchester! (Dan and Phil cringe)

- He's really ill. (Dan growls) - Did you just say he's really gay? What did you say? - He's really ill. - Oh.

- Oh, ill. - Stay away from me. (Dan coughs)

(Dan growls) - Click the link in the below bar. I was being a real YouTuber there, click the link in below bar.

- Click the link below. - 2011. I think this was the

peak Emo hair, everyone. - We're halfway through November. Slow November dance. (musical electronic beeping) - Editing tips!

- Random! - I'm wearing my festive socks. (Dan and Phil exclaim) - What is wrong with

me? I didn't plan this. I'm fully showing ass in every video. - [Dan] Why do you have Totoros? - I think one was yours. - [Dan] Allegations. - This is the Dan and

Phil shared apartment now. - [Dan] Oh my god, they were roommates. - They were roommates! This is quite an iconic Phil story time. It's gonna have sketches. - But I looked through

the peep hole to see, (ominous piano chord) - Oh, this is the story. - So obviously, immediately

alarm bells were ringing. So I slowly opened the

door and was like, hi? When she said hello, may I come in? No, sorry, I'm busy- (Dan and Phil laughing) Would you be interested in

meeting the holy mother? - This was a hundred percent true. A holy mother lady. - Every (dog barking) crazy story I was ever told on YouTube, has happened. - It did happen! She came to the house and wanted

to bring me into her cult, which sounded quite fun, to be honest. Very lol, random T-shirt I'm

wearing on this one as well. The thing that was commented the most on Phil is not on fire three was, more helium! - More- - [Dan] You should not inhale Helium. - No! - Inception. - 'Sup dude.

- Hey guys. (Dan and Phil laugh) - 2012. Do you remember the rumor that the world was gonna end in 2012? - [Dan] It should have. - Some of the reasons

why I was a weird kid. (Phil gasps) He started a series. - [Dan] Oh, you got format. - This felt like a proper content, YouTube content.

- [Dan] With a capital C. - And it was one of my

most popular series. "sereis"? - Braces. Now, I had a friend called

Jessica that lived on my street that was about two years older than me, and I looked up to her so much. But there was one thing

that I didn't have. Well, apart from the

fact that she was a girl, she had braces. I was so jealous. I wanted braces. - I wanted braces so bad. I would've punched myself

in the face to get braces and a broken arm as well. Did you want a broken arm? - [Dan] What? - As in I really wanted to break my arm and get all the attention

from people at school. - [Dan] That explains a lot. - I remember this video got

like a hundred thousand views. I was like, holy (dog barking), this could be an actual job. I need to start taking this seriously. I'm not just rubbing slime on my face, answering questions, now. I need to entertain people. - 2013. This is when the Dan and Phil of it all had really started to explode,

- Oh shit, wait I'm back! - And we developed quite

a following on Tumblr. - Tumblr. - Remember that? - London apartment. - The first fan art. - This is when fandom began. - Fan fiction. - We were no longer just

talking to our peers and internet weirdos.

- No. - There was an audience, and they wanted us to look at the weird shit they

were posting on Tumblr. - And boy did they provide it. - What is the first thing we see? - Right, Oh my God! (Dan and Phil laugh) - I mean that was- - So, I blended Dan and Phil. - That would entertain

me today, to be honest. - [Dan] Who needs AI? Not the llama hat. - Oh my God. Who made that? (Dan and Phil aw in unison) (laughter) (awkward guitar strum) - Dan's ass.

- Oh my God! - The first one where you

are not showing your ass, someone's drawn me showing my ass. What the hell. - Very ass centric. - I do look like Patrick a bit. - Uncanny resemblance. - That that is an exclusive from Tumblr User, amazingpeetaisnotonfire. You had to be there. - The Dan and Phil slash

Hunger Games crossover. - That must have been a really terrible multi fandom mess blog. - Do you still have the blog?

- Bless your heart. - I need to find out. - Oh (dog barking)!

- Yes! - It's still there. - Oh no. Have they been hacked

by a real estate company? - Oh my (dog barking) God. (Phil laughs) Our culture has eroded. - No! - It's an ad for Miraculous Crush! - That's me and you in Doctor Who? - Oh my God. It's us in Doctor Who? Everything's a fandom reference. - Go, It's been fun guys.

- No! - The camera quality is increasing, the lighting is still terrible. - It is. end screen!

- Wow! Should we watch my chat

logs two or Dan's channel, Where I'm going - [In Unison] Feels! (distorted groaning) - Wow.

- This was the grind year. We had moved to London. We had rent to pay. - We had no money. - We were trying to

make relatable content. Please subscribe. Jesus Christ. - I've got fond memories

of this time though. I was like, people- - At least we were in our

goblin grind era together. - Yes. (Dan mimics explosion noises) - But okay, I'm gonna, bye. - 2014. The seven second challenge with PJ. - [Dan] Credit him, he invented it. - I invented it, and every YouTuber ever made one of these videos after me. - The world famous kickthePJ. - PJ! That boy does not age. - [Dan] He looks exactly the same. - Vampire. - Can we have a fact about yourself? - I am 32% shark. (PJ growls) (Dan and Phil laugh) - Invent a word that doesn't

exist, and define it. - Wallading. It's when you are wearing

your Wellington boots and you step in some dingo droppings and you go wallading! (Dan and Phil laugh) - Right Dan, You've gotta do the next one. - [Dan] What? Okay. Okay, here we go.

- Here we go. - That was great! - Name three things in your room that begin with the letter T. - The (dog barking) Table. - Okay. - Tits!

(error buzzer) (Dolphin noises) - Tits? - [Dan] I don't know, that was impossible. - That was terrible.

- This was fun, and this was also in the

time of YouTube collabs. So this was the year of like Connor Franta, PJ, Louise,

Casper Lee, Tyler Oakley - [Dan] very iconic background

with the IKEA bedsheets. - I know! very parasocial. Come join me on my bed.

- Oh my God. That's where he sleeps, I know him. - Invent a new dance. (PJ claps) (cool instrumental) (Dan and Phil laugh) - He actually fell off the bed as well. - [Dan] R. I. P. - He broke his spine. No offense to Phil, but I feel like 2014 was when my videos actually became good. Do you know what I mean? - [Dan] Wow!

- Like no, but just like- - Roasting the guy who

chose to subscribe in 2008. - They were more well-edited, Funny. Well, let's see what happened in 2015. Apart from Phil is not on fire. This is my most viewed video of all time. - That's so bright. - Whoa.

- Turn the light down, boys. - When I'm trolling through Tumblr, one thing that I see

quite a lot is punk edits. - Dun dun dun. - I think this did so well because it was like

bringing a fan art to life in front of people. - Fan Service. - They didn't think they could access us. (Dan and Phil exclaim) - Wow, That is so much. Yeah, you will look so much better. - I should do that now. - The problem with us is we're like low key alternative posers because we're actually

just (dog barking) nerds. - Yeah we are. - You are not this guy. - I'm not that guy. - You are not in a band. You do not have plugs. - If I had tattoos they

would be Pokemon tattoos. (Dan and Phil laugh) This is a good bit. (Dan and Phil exclaim) - That's amazing! - Are you attracted to me more there? - Phil with the dragon tattoo? I think I'd honestly

be a bit scared of you if you were like that. Uh who the fuck is that?

(abrupt orchestral screech) - Oh, we birthed our gaming

channel at this point. - Collab gaming channel. You know what's hot on YouTube? Gaming.

- Gaming. You can say the next one as a treat. - Oh my God! 2016!

(abrupt orchestral screech) - Peak Dan and Phil year was 2016 and we went on tour! - YouTube Red Original movies. What the (dog barking) is happening. - TATINOF It all started off with

us making a Q and A video called Phil Is Not On Fire. (inspirational music) - More ass. There hasn't been a video without ass. We had PJ's ass, drawn ass. - Shall I get my full ass out now? - No.

- Okay. - We need to do something. Are we good at entertaining? - We need to do something. (bus honks) - Oh that's huge! - So this was like a weird era where YouTube tried to do Netflix. They wanted people to pay,

(cash register rings) - Yes. - For premium content from

their favorite YouTubers. - Full documentary.

- So we want the full Dan and Phil on the Road documentary. - Rehearse my magic show.

- Oh, not the rehearsal. (Dan laughs) - We also learned how to dance. - Did we?

- Dance. - I mean I tried my best.

(Dan laughs) - You guys are life

changing, and my inspiration. (Dan and Phil exclaim) - Where are you now? - That is so cute. - I feel like we were

the YouTubers of 2016. 2017. Viewers picked my outfits and this was our secret apartment, that wasn't our real apartment that we were pretending was our apartment - Because? - We didn't want get stalked, because we got slightly too famous. - Probably because we

spent like the 2009 years showing where we lived and stuff. - Yeah. - Because I'm doing a fashion video. (audience gasping) - My emo hair has

overstayed its welcome now. - Catch! - Is this 21 Pilots aesthetic? - I think it is. - Wow. Phil is in his, I'm no longer a nerd. I'm a cool dude era. - Yeah. I'm trying to be a cool dude. Ripped jeans. The point of this video is

I was trying to be more sexy and less like lions and llamas

after TATINOF had ended. - I don't think this looks good. - [Dan] That looks good. - Does it? You're lying to me, Dan. - [Dan] That was fashion. - Okay, All right. (abrupt orchestral screech) - Another butt shot. - [Dan] What the actual hell? - That's the theme of this video. - Phil did not plan this - My ass through the years. I remember how it ends. Thanks for this everyone. (Dan and Phil laugh) This created so many memes. - You'll do anything for

the content at this point. - Why was I naked under it? We just did one of those, so obviously a good series. 2018. - [Dan] End of an era! (Dan and Phil shout) What is that? - I can see his forehead. I look hot in this one. So since I posted this

fateful Instagram post. (distorted bass blows) - Oof, that was a choice. - My life isn't worth living

without your emo hair. Okay, Edith. - [Dan] Wow, (dog barking) Edith. - This was me trying to

introduce a new cool era of Phil. I was just clinging to

the emo hair for dear life as like a comfort blanket. - [Dan] You needed to just, you wanted to get rid of the emo hair. - Yeah. - And you didn't know

what to change it to. And you were like, I guess

people have quiffs now - Quiff it! To be fair, it looks good. - Yeah. You don't like the quiff

era as much, do you? - No. - Oh, thanks. I did feel like I had to

ask my audience's permission to change something about myself. - Or even forgiveness. - Forgive me! 2019. Big, big time. - [Dan] Wait, what? - Coming out to you? - He gay! - He's so gay. He was gay the whole time. Keep it low key. - You (dog barking)

troll sipping that water. (Phil laughs) Explain yourself. - That's just a nice

glass to have a sip from. What you talking about. This isn't my natural hair color. I've been dying since I was about 15. It is kind of mousy brown, but it goes really ginger in the sun and I prefer it to look dark. Plot twist! Oh, there is something else. I'm gay. (Dan and Phil shout) He said it. I still think I should

have come out like this. - Hi. I'm gay. (Dan laughs) I just, I should have done that. That would've been so much better. I can't believe I kept this thumbnail. It's such a meme as well. I'm not gonna react to the

whole seven minutes of this, but you get the idea. I like men, and I always did. Ah, I'm, I'm quite nostalgic

and fond of this Phil, now. - Yeah.

- Which is weird. You know what I mean? Because I was so nervous

before posting this video. It just felt like such

a relief afterwards. - Obviously as we know

from the hard launch. - Yes. - A big reason why you made this video was mainly because I was

scared to come out for so long. - Yeah. - Do you think you would've even needed to make a YouTube video about this? - I would've made a video

about it, but it would've been five years earlier.

- Would you, or in 2013 would you've just

tweeted someone being like, there's a reason why I keep

showing my ass on YouTube. - Because I want a man. No, I think I would've talked about it. Because I think it's important. You know, visibility. 2020. the year that we all

thought would be amazing. (Dan coughs) Turns out I was locked down and trying to cut my own hair on YouTube. - Do you see the regret in my eyes already (bongo plays) - [Dan] That man has not

left the house in months. - No. - This is so intense. (Dan and Phil exclaim) - You just went for it! - Just going for it. - You know you had hairdresser followers that were just like, what is he doing? No! - Oh no. - It was really bad. - What? Why has it done that? What the frick is going on there. (Phil laughs) - Oh, Phil. This bit was a mistake. (Dan laughs) - [Dan] This is so chaotic. - I've trimmed the rat. - Oh no. There's a big chunk cut out. - The back isn't unparalleled. (Dan and Phil cringe) What is going on with this patch. - Also, Dan went on a mini

hiatus after he came out as gay. So I felt like I had to

like look after the kids and make some entertaining content while everyone had nothing to do. 2021. Oh my god. Iconic. Why Dan had to call an ambulance. - Oh shit, Wait, I'm in this one. And we're here. - Oh, we're sat in this room, Oh! - the "Phouse". No longer rental. - We built the Phouse and we're in it. - It's also a fold down bed in case I wanna do porn. - No! Whoa! - Oh, you're showing your front this time. At least that's different. (Phil laughs) - So you've probably seen this video. This is when I drank

super glue by accident. - This one is essential for understanding the Dan and Phil lore. - It is. - And even though I was

still ghosting YouTube, I happily came back for this one. - Just an open bottle of super glue with a glue congestion in the tip. And then Phil, - There was no lid on the glue. - Was twisting it in his mouth! - And guess what happened? The little glue congestion came off and I felt a little somethin' somethin' go into my mouth. (Dan and Phil cringe) - That was actually more

dramatic in real life. Like we tried to make

them funny for YouTube. They're just traumatic in the moment. - This was not funny. - Oh, have you got the picture? - Yeah. I took this

little picture of Phil. (Dan and Phil aw in unison) that is a very scared,

mask on, sad glasses in the back of an ambulance. - So sad.

- Memories. - I was really glad that you

came back for this video. But generally Dan was

still gone from YouTube. So I was still just pumping out Amazing Phil videos on my own. - [Dan] You were an amazing "Phirgetory". - I was. Until one day, he returneth. - [Dan] Spoiler! 2022. Dan is leaving me. (Dan exclaims) - I'm here to make an emotional video. - Why am I sat in your closet? - Hi!

- About God damn time. - About god damn time! - Here he is. - Why do I always have to

have some convoluted entrance? (Dan echoes himself)

- I don't know. - I don't know. - I was thinking we could just put something over you and be like here he is. - This is giving me a headache. Dan was going on tour, but you graced my channel with your presence before you left. - So basically I said yes, I will appear on YouTube again, but only to plug my own tour - And your merch. I'm like kitted out in your merch as well. - Which is really fucking cool. - It was very cool actually. - Did you miss we're all doomed? That's tragic. - Yes. - We're not gonna be in the

same place for a long time. (siren blares)

How long? - Spoiler, I dyed everything

in the house green. (Dan and Phil laugh) - What's gonna happen? - I dunno. I'm gonna get a tattoo on my face. - Mossy green towel

- That's (dog barking) sick. - Still going strong. - The big mold cloth. I love that. The gradient of green that we see. - It's chic, Dan. Chic, 2023. An honest life update. - Hello, so I opened up my box. Dunno why I'm pointing to my crotch. Let's imagine the box. - [Dan] the golden pig!

- Oh my God! She's there. - So this was just a Q and A, but it was a tool to let you know why I hadn't been uploading much. Which was because I developed an illness, which wasn't fun. You can kind of tell in these

videos around this time. I was not, well basically. Something went wrong in my head. I was dizzy all the time. I felt sick all the time. - [Dan] For several months. - For several months. - I've been to vestibular rehabilitation, which is quite fun. - Oh my god, remember that. They, they span me on a chair. - Looking at things on

the wall, which again, adjusts your brain to get better. I've got some new medication, which I think is working pretty well. - Yeah, this was a weird time. I was trying loads of

different medications. I was just trying to fix it. - [Dan] You were Guinea pig maxxing. - I was Guinea pig maxxing. I was really mogged by my brain. - That is one way to put it. - By this point I was

starting to feel a bit lonely. 'cause when I started YouTube

in 2006, it was just for fun. I was just being weird, I was making Snokoplasm. But now it became my job and I was like without Dan, am I just gonna be doing

this in my room forever? Like what am I gonna do next, by myself? And that was a question

mark that I never found out because guess who came back in 2024? This is when I convinced Dan

to restart the gaming channel - [Dan] Back from the dead

Dan and Phil Games era. - [Phil] Oh my God. - We are so back, well not individually. - No - Dan is not on fire, still ghosting - But Amazing Phil is

entering a hibernation era. I didn't actually post

that many videos in 2024. Here was one! - How Phil-

- Oh, lock in everybody. Phil nearly died again. - Forget super glue. This is all about bleeding out your ass. (Phil yells) - Hello?

- What's up? - Our flight got canceled. We are not meant to be here. - What the hell's going? - We were golden on that holiday. (Dan imitates "Golden by Huntrix") - We just got back from holiday as well. We're gonna be talking

about it on the podcast. - If you want our next,

how Phil nearly died. Anecdote holiday scoop, just like this. Stay tuned for the next video! - Monday. - It's a banger. It's hard. - [Dan] Oh, blonde! Hello, why aren't we talking about that? - Blonde era had begun. - See, I feel like you were saying Dan was gone, no collabs,

dealt with an illness. - Yes.

- In a rut. He needed to shake it

the (dog barking) up. He's gonna convince Dan

to come back to YouTube. - Yeah, and look!

- And get out the bleach. - Look how happy I was. - You look five years younger. - Everything's great again. - Apart from your ass that

was bleeding profusely. You did nearly die. It was incredibly traumatic. - It was. - Get that camera up your butt. - Yes. - Good advice. The ass theme continues. - So you're not showing ass, but you are talking about it. - I Just talked about my hole. (electric slamming) - I hit the floor.

- Phil passes out. I gotta know, what are you about to say? - Why didn't you catch me? So look-

- Why didn't I catch you? Do you know how (dog

barking) heavy you are? - Dan! - I did catch you. I was holding you. - Were you? - Right Now Phil, come on. Let's do this right now. I did try to catch Phil. This is what happened. Hi, I'm Phil. (Phil yells) (Dan and Phil laugh)

- Exactly. - That is what happened. This was actually quite a traumatic day, but I'm glad that we made

some content out of it. If your ass bleeds, get the monetization. As you can see, this was

kind of the last video I posted on this channel. - Three Bitlifes, okay

we're going on tour. - Yeah. - The old, What Dan Phil Text Each Other. - And then, what now Dan and Phil? 2025. What we text each other. - Phil is not on fire is dead. But what Dan and Phil text each other is the new iconic Dan

and Phil collab series. - Yes. Are we gay here? - No. - Oh, we're not collaboratively gay. - No, not for like seven more months. - Whoa. - We are doing gaming videos. - We're teasing it a lot I think. - And we we're testing the water. - We're soft launching. - Yeah. - And we're doing a tour. - That's what this was. - Does it clap? - Your ass? - The (goose honking) drink you dingus. (Dan and Phil laugh) - Our texts are crazy. - I know. - Why are we like this? - What is wrong with us?

- Oh no. - I do love these videos. Yeah, they're great.

- It's a banger. - The last one was on the new

Dan and Phil Joint channel. - It moved over to Dan and Phil. 'cause it's Dan and Phil videos. - So then what is this? The last video on Amazing Phil. - That was just a quick Q and A. - What's it gonna be?

- Do you feel it? Do you smell it? Change.

- I taste it. - Something's coming. - That is scary. What are we doing, Talking like that? - What is coming? What's coming? - What is Dan and Phil 2.0? Should I be scared? - When did you say this? - Dan and Phil. 2.0. What are you teasing? - I mean, that was the

point of this video. We were saying we're back from a tour. And you're saying what's next? Something's coming, but

we're not saying what? - We're trying to build a podcast, but it's gonna take ages. - But Phil, this is your video. This is your 20th anniversary. February, 2025. It's now March, 2026! - It's been a hot while. - So, Philip Michael Lester. - Yeah. - What the (dog barking)

is up with Amazing Phil. - I'm just putting all

my creativity and energy into Dan and Phil because we're making all

of these crazy videos with all the podcast,

we're doing the Patreon. I'm just having the most

fun I've ever had on YouTube and we're making some really great stuff. This youtube.com/Amazing Phil is always gonna be my little house on the internet, and I feel like I should do a little. Hello, My name's Phil Video

blog every now and then. Just to catch up with you all. Whether it's on here,

on Dan and Phil games, or the new rebounded, Dan and Phil, I've been making videos

on YouTube for 20 years! 20 straight years. No hiatus for Phil. Unlike some. God, I need a drink after all that. (upbeat electronic music) (Dan laughs) - Shut the fuck up. - It's so weird that 20 years ago I just made a video on the internet talking about my day because that was something fun

you could do with technology. And then social media became a thing. This could become a job. And now I'm someone that's written books, and been on world tours, and has a male podcast. A lovely legacy, I think, I'm proud of. So thank you again. I know I said it before, but I wouldn't have been able to do anything without the

viewers watching my videos. So I appreciate every single one of you. Whether you hopped on the

train in 2010 or today, get a little stroke on your head. and thank you to this guy, Danny, as well. Thank you. - Thank you. - Without him, who knows how seriously I would've taken YouTube. I might have just become

a plumber in 2013. - Amazing pipe. - That might have been fun, to be honest. Give me a thumbs up for

20 years on YouTube. Comment below when you

started watching my videos. - [Dan] What era did

Phil have the best hair? - Yeah. Here's to the next 20 years. - Oh my, that's going

to make me freak out. Okay, I'm out. - Goodbye! (soft electronic music)
