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.
