#terrible influence spoilers

[just-your-average-author]

one of the best days I've ever had. the boxing match, with questionable sex positions? comedic gold? the sharing a tour bus bed confirmation while saying "is it gay to share a bed and cuddle? no we were straight in 2016 😌😌" the cutest poses and Phil watching Dan elegantly perform hardcore kpop dance moves while he awkwardly imitates him. our shows confessions and the reactions?!?!? gold. the kindness and genuine appreciation for us as an audience and apologizing for making us get bullied in middle school 😭😭

they even came in the audience and I was literally like 2 rows away I could have touched them!!! they're so sweet and talk and look and sound exactly like their videos!!

also hardcore believe there will be a phodcast coming. they brought up AGAIN how much we'd listen to them yap about anything and if we want that

[dreamingalto]

Finally got to see TIT tonight after like three heart attacks while trying to drive up to Durham but that was mostly my anxiety mixed with accidently hitting rush hour.

But omg the song shocked me and like exceeded my expectations and now I just want to listen to it again.

Tit spoilers under the cut

But the 100% hard launch for me was

Finding out they really did share the goddamn bed in that fuckass tour bus

[foolish-edworm]

literally the second phil's first video started playing i started HARDCORE SOBBING like it was frankly a little much (i say as if i could control it LMAO)

[phangays]

can i ask what the wedding conspiracy was for TIT? my show got vegas but im so curious

The wedding conspiracy was if they really got married during their first trip to Japan (Japhan) or not.

They said it was false

I agree with all your points- I also went alone and me and the 2 people next to me reacted in real time to everything and clutched our pearls in unison. I talked to so many amazing folks, I wasn't awkward in the slightest.

I do wish a couple segments were longer, we only got one persona each for the role model bit and I really liked that one, and the confession one only had 3 very short confessions. preshow was also very short. I'd love to have had a couple less segments/chatting but them be longer! every segment was so so good tho.

Also they are so sweet and down to earth. Phil literally stopped the show at the beginning because he thought he had to sneeze 😭😭 he's so cute

DAN AND PHIL TERRIBLE INFLUENCE TOUR REVIEW. NO MAJOR SPOILERS (but you have been warned)

General: Absolutely hilarious, even if you have no clue who they are. The humor is very well balanced between goofy and raunchy.

Technical elements were incredible. If you have epilepsy uhhh well.. The set was very fitting for the purposes of the show. They had an aesthetic in mind, and they killed it.

One of the biggest draws of the show is their dynamic. I have never seen two people build off each other on stage as well as they do. You can very clearly tell they are partners before performers, and the level of comfortableness they have with each other enhances the experience.

Another huge selling point of the show is its interactive nature. The audience is literally vital to the show, and that is an incredibly good feeling to have as a viewer. They make you feel special, because to them you are special. It’s very fitting to have that level of engagement as influencers, especially ones with such a dedicated fanbase.

The atmosphere is absolutely unreal.

Before the show I had lost excitement over seeing it, as I had no friends that really watched them, so I thought I’d be lonely. Every video advertising the show Dan and Phil said something along the lines of “meet new people!” “You can go alone and still have a great time!” “You could bring your mom!” I kinda brushed it off as them trying to encourage sales.

They are telling the truth.

I have never witnessed such a level of kindness, friendliness, acceptance, and overall joy in one room in my life. I sat down and immediately the entire row started introducing themselves. The people next to me commented along with me. I sighed a copy of YWGTTN and took pictures with other fans. (I was somehow in the TikTok where it’s like: I hope they “play hot to go!” And I was like “this is Dan and Phil”.)

The connection between fans is hands down the most important part of this show. If you are going to see the show and you are maybe a little self conscious, you have absolutely nothing to worry about, you will feel loved.

Individually:

Dan is a phenomenal performer. He has a MASSIVE presence on stage, even when he isn’t yapping. His movements, especially his dancing, are VERY clean, you know he knows what he’s doing. He is a master at crowd work. You can tell he loves it.

Phil’s it factor is his energy. He perfectly balances out Dan’s chaos, sometimes with his own chaos. He is effortlessly funny, and his comedic timing is impeccable. He is genuinely such a lovely person, and he radiates the level of positivity people need. Incredibly infectious. You can also tell he loves it.

Minor criticisms:

I personally would have liked the confession segment to last a little longer.

I feel like Act 2 could have had maybe one more segment, but hey man it was also 10:45 at night, Phil needs to get to bed.

That’s it. The show was great.

TIT Tysons…..you just had to be there

[rhetorical-conscience]

how am i meant to explain to someone what i did tonight?

was it a therapy session? a rave? a confessional, a drag show, a youtuber boxing match?

yes. yes, it was all of those things.

[everything-is-as-it-was]

SO MUCH TO SAY SO LITTLE TIME BUT WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IN VEGAS:

There was a Vegas video! Here’s what I wrote in my notes app about it lol:

Vegas was really that it was simply boring, and they showed us the footage in which the first video Dan had his hand over the mic, they got cappuccinos, Phil won 20 dollars at the casino, they ordered alcoholic drinks and Phil said “mmm” when Dan asked how he liked his, and then they recorded 30 minutes worth of hibachi footage but the camera got knocked over and it was just a time lapse of the ceiling

[gayphiances]

it’s so over

Average day in the phandom:

TIT RECAP/THOUGHTS

SPOILERS OBV

Okay so firstly the open PSA that Dan wrote about "no photos or videos if you do, I will sue your ass to the ground" and "no flash photography do you want Phil to fall off the stage...again?!?!?" killed me. it was so cute

preshow playlist, stunning, beautiful all around bops.

the sudden cut off of the music and lights to signal the show started, genuinely shocked and I was SAT let me tell you.

THEY CAME OUT AND THEY WERE REAL?!? NOT A SIMULATION?? listen I still can't get over that, I can't believe they were real people who look and sound exactly like they do on my tv at home!! I was so focused on them and soaking every moment in, I couldn't handle it

have I mentioned how attractive they are?!?!?

okay also literally Phil straight up STOPPED THE SHOW BECAUSE HE HAD TO SNEEZE AND DAN JUST STARED AND WAS LIKE PHIL WTF and I loved every second I was like yes this is straight up what they do in videos, let's have our little squirrel moment babes.

plus it made it feel even more silly and improv, overall I know obv they scripted a lot but it was sooo interactive and they ad libbed so much and I adored it

the dollhouse recap i swear wtf. first off, it was such a creative and fun idea and the different sets, and dressed up dolls that the clothes matched!! also okay I'm so sorry I had no idea the random sex positions would be a theme of the show so I was gobsmacked, but the 69ing during pinof??? "so we did what 2 closeted twinks did upon meeting each other for the first time.... put sharpie's cat whiskers on!!!" shut up for the love.

I genuinely loved the role model or no-el model segment. my show was in NC so they first option for Dan as the Mr. Lawyer was he bans ___ and someone said south carolina and they both just were rendered speechless and were like damn oh dear but laughing too.

The boxing match was so hot dear heavens, Dan's expression when Phil came out in the fake- *cough* I mean very real abs. He was acting for his LIFE.

the confessions were so good, just wish it lasted a little longer. the yapping was good and also idk if this was standardized but the whole thing where Phil said "I have a cute but also sociopathic thing going on and I think it's working for me 😌" like shut up you're so adorable

omg the quick change where they kept their mics on and narrated so many innuendos I was dying omg so silly and so funny I loved it. I was really impressed with how fast they changed, but also talked the whole time.

I loved every single solitary part of this show and I loved how they joked about how they were sorry we all went to school with whiskers then got out in the trash (cause yeah basically) and how they literally did raise us and should be blamed for us being feral not our actual legal guardians.

okay so. this show 9/10. here's where the last 1 point went.

please don't kill me, but I wasn't a fan of the song. I'm not entirely sure what it was, but the whole show was so raw and perfect and then the song was just really synthetic and overly autotuned where I personally didn't even hear their voices. like I couldn't tell who was singing which part. the ukulele part was cute, and I really hoped that would've been all of it, I guess the internet is here and interactive introverts and everything's fine just was so good you couldn't raise the bar again, but that was just my personal opinion, I know a lot of people loved the song and it was catchy and cute, I'm just not personally a fan of kpop/synthesized music so I was a little disappointed in the song but the dancing slapped so hard.

Dan flawlessly executing every move and strut and making eye contact with us while Phil very intentionally was focused on not tripping or walking off the stage and looking at Dan a few times to check if he was doing it right MY HEART.

cuties, gay, both of them, love them

overall I spent last night frantically calculating if I could afford to spontaneously go see the Nashville show as well and spend another 10 hours in the car today but regretfully thought against it.

[starphobe]

why does she look so demure here .... filled with all the patience and grace of our lord... perhaps .......

[sncrlynwtms]

dan howell did drag in front of my southern mother in atlanta, georgia, and her immediate reaction was to look at me, nod, and say in the most serious tone: "his legs look really good in that."

if you've seen preshow pics from Warsaw floating on twitter, yeah those are probably mine lol
