ColeyDoesThings is a channel run by Nicole. I have never been able to figure out her last name, but nonetheless, she is one of my favorite YouTubers. Her channel is unlike all the others that I have talked about. She does not have an intro, which is why this post also does not have an intro. This channel has over 253 thousand subscribers and almost 200 videos. Nicole, or Coley, does a lot of different types of videos, but they all revolve around fandoms. She has done skits, cosplays, and reaction videos. The videos that she is most known for are the "entering the fandom like" videos. These videos show the chaos that ensues in all fandoms. Some of my favorite videos are:
1. that one friend obsessed with christmas
This video is one of Coley's skits. She takes on the personality of the obsessive Christmas friend that everyone has. Except this personality it the most extreme that someone can be. She pairs this with a personality that does not like Christmas that much. The interactions between the two makes the video hilarious, as she embodies the two personalities perfectly.
2. what ship wars look like to the rest of the fandom
Anyone who has been in a fandom knows that ship wars can be brutal. They can divide a fandom so much that it actually can cause a lot of hate to each side. This video takes a step outside of that and shows how the war looks to the others in the fandom. It shows the few chill people in the fandom compare to the other more radical people in the fandom.
3. entering the miraculous ladybug fandom like
This is actually a fandom that I am in, so I know first hand how all these different personalities react. Coley presented each personality perfectly. The interactions between the personalities are also quite accurate. This has reached my favorites list not only because of it being about my favorite television show, but also because of how accurate she presented each personality trait.
4. entering the phandom like
This is another fandom I am in. The phandom in the fandom that includes Dan Howell and Phil Lester. These are also two other YouTubers that I have previously reviewed. The phandom is probably one of the most crazy fandoms that I have ever been in. The fans of this fandom can be the sweetest people, but also the most extreme, and Coley does not take this lightly. She presents every type of fan, and their interactions. Some of these interactions are not good though, which just exemplifies how toxic some fans can be.

DanandPhilGAMES
Phil: "Hello, Dan and Phil games (insert noun here)." Dan: *repeats noun in judgmental tone* Phil: *defensively justifies it* And welcome to my YouTube blog. That intro was a roller coaster, but so is the intro to Dan and Phil's joint channel, DanandPhilGAMES. It is no joke. That is literally the intro to every single video on that channel. Anyway, today I am going to be talking about DanandPhilGAMES. Just like I said earlier this is their joint channel, but this channel is, like in the name, their gaming channel. This is the channel that the fans get the most content out of. Unfortunately, they are on a bit of a hiatus. This hiatus is scaring most fans right now because they have been inactive since the end of December. The channel has over three million subscribers and close to 300 videos. Some of their most popular videos are:
1. Meet 'Dil Howlter
This is the very first video in their Sims series. In this video they create their Sim and they name him Dil Howlter. This is the combination of their names, Dan Howell and Phil Lester. This begins a series with over 60 videos so far. This is also their most popular series on the channel. This particular video has over eight million views.
2. Dan and Phil Play Just Dance
In this video, obviously, Dan and Phil play Just Dance. This video was to celebrate getting one million subscribers. They are in no way athletic or fit, and they decided that this was a good idea. Spoiler alert, it was not. This is apart of their Dan vs. Phil series. This series is a battle between the two that went on for three years. They recently ended it right before the hiatus started, with the overall winner being Phil. This video has over seven million views.
3. Dan and Phil Play Five Nights at Freddy's
This is an instalment in 2014's Spooky Week. Spooky Week is when they play a week worth of scary games the week of Halloween. The two play Five Nights at Freddy's which is a scary indie game. This game has been played by a lot of other gamers, so obviously Dan and Phil played it. This is a popular video because fans get to see the two get scared at the jumpscares. One of these jumpscares made Dan fall out of his chair. This video has over seven million views.
My favorite series is:
The Impossible Quiz
The Impossible Quiz is the game that every child would play during school. Almost no one could complete it without looking up the answers. But Dan and Phil beat that precedent and completed it without looking up the answers, granted six videos and countless hours of work, but they did it none the less. The videos are full of anger, crying, and a lot of other emotions. This all makes it one of the funniest videos on the channel for me.

AmazingPhil
Hey guys! Welcome back to my YouTube blog. Today I am going to be talking about the channel AmazingPhil. The man that runs this channel is named Philip Lester, but he just goes by Phil. His channel has gone through a rebranding in 2019 and was briefly inactive, but he came back in early February. In his rebranding he scrapped his original background and has now filled his background with plants and ceramic animals. He has been active on YouTube since 2006- posting his first video on March 27, 2006. Since then his channel has grown and he has over 200 videos and over Four million subscribers. His most Popular videos include:
1. PINOF
PINOF is the acronym for Phil is not on fire. This is a Q&A video with both Dan, his flatmate, and Phil. This started when Dan and Phil met for the first time. They uploaded a video together on October 25, 2009. This became an annual thing for the two and they have uploaded ten of these videos. They recently announced that PINOF 10 would be the last PINOF. This made fans very sad to know that they would no longer get these videos.
2. Dan and Phil Punk Edits in Real Life
In this video Dan joins Phil yet again. Phil had been scrolling through Tumblr (scary) and found punk edits of the two made by fans. He decided to make a video becoming these alter egos. Even going to the extent of fake tattoos and hair dying.
3. A Festive Day in the Life of Dan and Phil
This video is more of a vlog. Dan and Phil go around London getting ready for Christmas. This video really helps fans to get to know them better as there is no script. This interaction helps fans to feel like they know the two better and to understand them. Phil has uploaded many of these types of videos.
My favorite video is:
Anthony, Dan or a RAT?
This video is, other than PINOF, is my absolute favorite. In this video Phil is joined by Dan and Anthony Padilla, another YouTuber. Phil takes advantage of the similar looks of Dan and Anthony and the insult he calls them to create a game. A game which he calls "Anthony, Dan or a RAT?" The game has very close up pictures of Dan, Anthony, or a rat. When they see the picture they have to guess what it is, and the person with the most correct at the end wins.

Daniel Howell
1. The Photo Booth Challenge (November 10, 2013)
In this video Dan is joined by his best friend and flatmate, Phil Lester. The video is the two taking on the viral trend of making yourself look as horrible as possible with a computer program. They have to do this while not laughing. They end up scrapping the "no laughing" concept and just have fun. This video is the most popular mainly because it is the two of them together having fun and being happy. This video currently has 16 million views.
2. How to Speak Internet (October 19, 2012)
Two other people join Dan in this video. Their names are Jack and Finn. In this video Dan quizzes them on internet lingo. Also during this video I find out how little internet lingo I know. It is a very informative (not really) video. This video has 13 million views.
3. Dan and Phil react to Teens React to Dan and Phil (February 12, 2014)
This video title basically says it all. In this video, Dan and Phil react to "Teens React to Dan and Phil". Teens React is a popular YouTube series by another channel. They, at the time, had recently had the teens react to Dan and Phil. It was both of them because they are usually grouped together. Dan and Phil refrained from watching the video until they were able to make a video of their reaction.
Some of my favorite videos are:
1. Daniel and Depression
This video has become my all time favorite of Dan's. In this video he comes out about his depression. He explains that this is a huge part of his life and that he is in a good place. He felt like he should say what helps him, and to urge those suffering from depression to go to a therapist. This video is amazing because not many people like to talk about mental illnesses, and he explains it without it getting boring. He is able to be informational and funny at the same time. It is an amazing video for people to share to help come out about their own mental illnesses.
2. Dan's Diss Track
Diss tracks were a big thing on YouTube for a while, and everyone was jumping on the trend. Everyone-including Daniel Howell. His video came out after a month without uploading and it shook fans. Someone going by the name of DJ Howell took the song and uploaded it to the internet, and it passed Kanye on the charts.
3. I Nearly Blinded Myself
This is the video that introduced me to Dan. In the video, Dan relives the time that he and Phil were supposed to go to Australia for their tour. He procrastinated as usual, and in turn had to pack for the trip 15 minutes after the time they were suppose to leave. While in his frenzy of packing, he went to put on deodorant and accidentally sprayed it into his eye. For a while he could not see out of his left eye, and he thought that he had permanently blinded himself. He and Phil freaked out. In the end he found his pride and determination in a fluffy pistachio muffin.
4. Hello Internet
This video was Dan's first video on YouTube. His introduction is one of the cringiest videos that Dan has ever uploaded. It basically outlined what he was going to be doing on YouTube. Dan does not like this video and walks out if someone starts playing it around him.

The Film Theorists
Hello Internet and welcome to... my YouTube blog again. This is the same intro because it's the same YouTuber, Matthew Patrick. This is his second channel on YouTube, and it is just as good. This channel is called The Film Theorists. This channel makes theories about films and occasionally other YouTube videos or channels. The Film Theorists has over 7 million subscribers, and he has uploaded over 160 videos onto this channel. Some of my personal favorites are:
1. Wall-E's Unseen Cannibalism
In this video MatPat takes on one of his favorite movies- Wall-E. Wall-E is a movie about how humans abandon Earth when it becomes unlivable. They leave to orbit space while robots clean up the earth. Eventually the main character, a robot named Wall-E, falls in love with another robot named Eve, but MatPat doesn't focus on the love story. He focuses on the humans in space. The humans were only suppose to be in space for 5 years, but ended up staying for about 700 years. Because of this time span MatPat wonders what they have been eating, and he sets up a very convincing argument for the contents of their food being cannibalism. This is my absolute favorite film theory of Matthew's, and it makes you think deeper into the contents of programming.
2. Don't Hug Me I'm Scared
Don't hug me I'm scared is a YouTube series that has a childish look to it with a dark twist. When first viewing it, it is difficult to understand, as it looks like a Sesame Street episode flipped on its head. MatPat takes this series and analyses it as he tries to create some understanding for it. And boy does he. He creates a theory that is super easy to believe and explains the theory very well. This is my favorite film theory series that Matthew has done.
3. Elsa's True Enemy
This film theory is based on the movie Frozen. In the movie Frozen the villain is thought to be Elsa's fear, but in a twist ending it turns out to be Hans who was potentially Anna's love interest. Well MatPat has another reasoning. He believes that Hans is not the villain and is actually a victim of the TRUE villain- the trolls. It seems very far-fetched, but after watching the video the theory becomes very convincing.
4. Salad Fingers
This last theory is another series. This series is about the YouTube series Salad Fingers by David Firth. Salad Fingers is a series that is so confusing that it is very difficult to create reasoning for it. But of course Matthew is able to create a theory that is not only creative but very believable. MatPat's theory for this goes beyond any theory he has ever done. The ability to take something this confusing and create a believable theory is almost impossible, and MatPat is able to do the impossible. This theory shows the best of MatPat and really shows how amazing of a theorist and creator he really is.
