DNP Rewatch: Dan Vs Phil | Hometown Showdown

Date video was published: 11/18/2021 (X)

DNP Main Channel Rewatch: 450

A YouTube-sponsored joint video in 2021...never would have guessed that would be a possibility just a year before this.

0:10 - “two best buddies” 😂

0:13 - the aerial shots are cool

0:24 - “some guy” I can’t

1:13 - they’re wearing the same outfits as they did in Giving The People What They Want and I really want to know if that was planned

1:38 - “me and Phi like to um, crush each other” I’m sorry, what now. these ‘confessional’ style bits in the first half are really something. I’m sad we didn’t get more of them from the Winnersh part as well

1:54 - if I think too much about the imagery of DNP taking a train together to Phil’s hometown ~12 years after Dan took a train there for the first time, I want to weep

2:19 - Dan looks like he doesn’t believe that one

2:26 - the ‘cheers’-ing with the cake. it’s so casual I feel like that’s a thing they just do

2:33 - this is cut together from a bunch of different bits. every time there’s a cut they seem to be holding a different piece of cake

2:50 - you can tell when Phil is saying a planned line

2:56 - Dan just thinking Phil is hilarious at all times

3:04 - this was clearly an unplanned bit but YouTube decided it was worth including because of course 😂

3:17 - lol at whoever decided to get this shot then. this is what they were filming when people saw them back in July

3:22 - dog content!

3:41 - soft Dan “hello” voice 🥺

3:46 - Phil’s names for the dogs...‘Susan’ and ‘Steve’ as expected, but then just ‘Lady Gaga’ out of nowhere

3:49 - of course Dan ends up doing the harder work walking more of the dogs

3:54 - this lingering shot on the tattoo studio...I really thought something was going on with that

4:07 - Phil not answering the actual question Dan asked at all

4:24 - I do love the crime scene van highlight there because it’s just hilarious with what Dan is saying 😂

4:52 -  Dan promoed this video as them going “back to the places they pretended to be straight”

5:15 - tell me this (and Dan’s bit at 5:31) don’t sound exactly like reality tv dating show confessionals. also, out of all the parts of this video THIS is what Phil chose to reblog a gif set of 😭

5:30 - “the best day of our life so far” okay Dan

5:52 - Phil had talked about the temperance bar in his Google-maps hometown tour video too

6:09 - cheers-ing yet again

6:18 - not getting to see any of what these actually are, just the sound a facial expression reactions

6:38 - Phil’s eyes look SO SO blue in the natural light in this

6:57 - Phil just enjoying the view for a moment there it looks like

7:08 - and Phil’s soft smile at the “this is actually quite nice”

7:17 - more dating-show-like confessionals!

7:28 - some of this feels like Dan pretending he had never seen Rawtenstall before, although he did respond to someone asking about that

7:50 - I’m guessing the alien bit that must have gotten cut had something to do with this

8:07 - I wonder if this is a bit of the more interesting conversations they talked about having that a lot got cut of

8:47 - he realized his description of parkin tasting like “a lot of parkin” was not so helpful. that sounds delicious though

9:07 - “Danny” also it’s so weird to see them walking so much

9:27 - these ski suits are something else

9:39 - babuse! the look on Dan’s face too and then Phil’s giggle 🥺

9:42 - Dan lost his ski suit apparently. also the 7 second challenge incorporation

10:05 - actually impressed Dan managed that

10:07 - this editing; I’m cackling 😂

10:21 - that was so much easier and yet

10:54 - “dad!” they’re just having fun with this bit it seems

11:42 - I really want to know what all the other people there thought was going on with the camera crew and everything

12:14 - a bit of honest Dan. I did wonder what he was going to do with this after the trailer came out, as he never really had something nice to say about his hometown

12:25 - Phil in his confident-making jean jacket for the other day of filming

12:43 - this is just hilarious. also, Dan must have forgotten his usual sunglasses this day and borrowed some

12:54 - “I know this is smaller than your one” “a train measuring contest” “size doesn’t matter, Phil” “hop on and let me take you for a wild ride” ...I have no words 😳

13:33 - okay this looks kind of fun. also there are so many of these in the UK actually

14:14 - the incorporation of llamas...of course he had to with the throwback style of some of this video

15:08 - a big Dan laugh there 

15:33 - see, this is where we could use some more of the ‘confessional’ style clips I think

15:53 - I really wonder at what point in planning they came up with this. Phil looks like he’s trying very hard not to laugh

16:06 - Dan is immediately concerned about Phil’s balance

16:37 - lol at Dan editing this statement but not really

16:59 - and this is important context for what’s coming next 😂 also Phil saying he needs to remind everyone else (since he already knows, of course)

17:25 - pretty sure that’s a reference to THE WARDROBE 🥺

17:34 - HOW was Phil so graceful getting out that cart?!

17:45 - Phil hiding!

18:25 - I cannot believe Phil managed that! and Dan’s immediate joy for him

18:59 - a sentimental location for Dan 🥺

19:22 - ah, baby Dan! and Phil teasing him about his posing is great

19:49 - they look so comfy just having a chat in this bit

20:00 - Dan talked about this in Gay and Not Proud too

20:49 - this whole game is the funniest part of the entire video. Phil using Dan’s first video 😂 

21:13 - and then Dan’s is even better! the limp wrist I CAN’T. they didn’t pick a winner for this

21:39 - referencing to Phil falling off the stage at the first ever TATINOF show

22:01 - Dan adding to the good things about Rawtenstall; he can’t help himself

22:04 - “Phil, rescue me!” aww

22:15 - and of course they had to get an “all or nothing” reference in there

22:38 - I mean a video game does seem like an appropriate way to end this for them

23:47 - Dan got so far ahead at this point

24:08 - ...of course Phil had to win though. you can’t tell me that wasn’t planned all along

24:35 - DNP’s was much less competitive (and in much smaller towns) than the other videos that were part of this YouTube series, lol. they were like, ‘nah, we’re just going to have nice days hanging out’. 😂

I’m glad they did this with YouTube! Though there was so much footage we didn’t get to see. 😥 I’m sure if DNP had had full control of the editing and everything, it would have been very different and I probably would have liked it even more. But still, it’s just a fun video. Also, Both Phil and Dan posted some behind-the-scenes photos to Instagram to promote this as well. The third photo in Phil’s set will never fail to make me weep.
