HAHAHHA JOSH crawling out of 1997

[@doddleoddle]

Omg sav "SOMEONE IS SO FIRED"

[@bellahooper9487]

Your reaction when it wasn't la la land you were like "NOOOOO! NOOOOOO! It can't be!" Honestly same

[@ICOEPR]

Embrace the SCRAP. YES. LOVE IT.

[@DanLayton]

SCRAP. SCRAP. SCRAP.

[@snowynya2229]

"Do you have any sort of, final wishes?" "Um, to get out" Spectacular.

[@MattEvuns]

if there's no cover of "go the distance" from hercules for veda i'm gonna sue

[@floralspectre]

same!! Make it happen for us Daniel J Layton!! please??!!

[@emmakelly2153]

Matt Evans oop your dream came true

[@laurenbailey6869]

This aged well

[@zainasoliman8711]

It's really interesting to see dodie's video filmed from a different angle. It's like we've finally seen the full picture.

[@MattEvuns]

watching sammy be sad at zootopia's victory PERPLEXES me

[@DanLayton]

In his defence, it wasn't Zootopia winning, it was his prediction being wrong!

[@MattEvuns]

Daniel J. Layton his love for kubo is admirable yet confusing

[@geneva1895]

Kubo was brilliant but I feel that Zootopia was just what the world needed that that point

[@liv27.]

Especially given his dancing with Carrie Hope Fetcher in March

[@sophiarichmond5052]

Your smug look when Moonlight won. I love it. And Hazel heckling Jack might actually have killed me. I had to pause to recover.

[@maisied]

i relate to chloé on a spiritual level when dancing in the kitchen

[@ScarfDemon]

same

[@kristinkaneva2553]

maisie394 i can't remember the name of the song and really bothers me

[@sianc7235]

Addicted to Love wasnt it?

[@hannahlou2874]

I'd love to see a few videos of you singing this month you've got such an amazing voice

[@DanLayton]

On it ;)

[@jackhowad]

either hazels title of out sextape joke was a reference to brooklyn nine nine or it wasnt and ive just been watching it too much

[@ScarfDemon]

a bit bloody good

[@jonnypayne598]

Just a bit 😁

[@kelseymcivor]

Loved Chloe's potato dance. Were those potatoes?

[@DanLayton]

Potatoes confirmed.

[@ScarfDemon]

Second opinion: They were in fact potatoes.

[@s.j7423]

ScarfDemon Third opinion: also potatoes

[@oakley5488]

Fourth opinion: yes.

[@rose-ew4mg]

the mildly heavy breathing in the end clip really completed the video tbh

[@DanLayton]

I HAD A COLD SHUT UP

[@Rose-mf1ln]

all your friends are such rays of sunshine, especially chloe :p

[@DanLayton]

She's sensational.

[@moonscape7564]

Please never stop making these

[@sixemptyvlogs2909]

absolutely loved this ❤️ also, as someone who has only recently been converted to tea, this was the first time i actually sat down with a cup of tea to watch something. congratulations for holding that place of honor.

[@DanLayton]

It's the only way to view it. Alternatively, you could watch with chilled Vodka. Your call.

[@gayleh]

HOLY SHIT

[@evaharris2396]

I actually love your hair like that ❤️❤️

[@alicewonderland9527]

"Title of your sextape" Hazel 😂

[@LemonSte]

didn't know sammy played piano wat

[@Carina5707]

I've enjoyed following your channel. I casually subscribed back in November or so because something popped up in my recommended. Didn't know who you were, didn't really watch old videos to catch up or anything. As you've uploaded more regularly, it kind of feels like becoming friends with someone. From not knowing anything about them except a pleasant first impression, to seeing them and listening about their life occasionally, and eventually growing to respect them and appreciate them as a person. KZbin is a strange thing if you think about it too much. But without KZbin, I'd never have known you or any other international creator I follow. It's so beneficial to be exposed to other cultures. And it's amazing we can do it from a little device that fits in our pocket. ✌🏻

[@DanLayton]

+Juce thank you so much for this comment. It really does mean a lot that you took a chance and came along for the ride!

[@AliceRed]

That definitely sounds like life to me. Leaving a job can be very overwhelming, but for what it's worth I think you're going to do great things this year. Even if it does feel like you're just going with it.

[@DanLayton]

I think I'll probably just be going with it forever! Thanks, Alice =)

[@spanielbounce3135]

Boiling-the-kettle-for-a-cup-of-tea-and-prepping-a-biscuit squad where yo at

[@laoise3029]

SpanielBounce right here 🙋🏻

[@hopesim4534]

Loved this! I forgot PMS was still happening and this made me SO happy

[@haerikim5852]

aw the screening of jadoat

[@Conor_music]

I'm enjoying these more and more, not sure you've noticed but you've been improving so much since you started last year they're only seeming more concise, purposeful and well edited as you go. Keep up the class work ye boy ye

[@DanLayton]

Very kind of you to say so! Thanks so much =)

[@itsjustmegan3436]

2:01 you're an all star

[@WaistHighView]

I banned myself from listening to the La La Land soundtrack after my 4th viewing of it, as I want to experience it again as fully as I can when I get the Blu-Ray... so this video had both too much and nOT NEARLY ENOUGH LA LA LAND!

[@Silver1226]

Go the Distance is one of my favorite songs

[@HelenTownsend]

I really loved how this month was put together, it was more like a collage of moments rather than a memory wrapped in a bow

[@ngairespoon]

i rlly hope dodie does a cover of banana pancakes now

[@emmakelly2153]

that would be so pretty

[@ty1ah493]

how many takes did it take to film someone in the crowd? :')

[@DanLayton]

56.

[@ChromaMatrix]

56 takes honestly isn't as bad as it could have been.

[@ITalkWithDragons]

I appreciate the Hercules love, it's the best

[@lewisgennery8897]

"Are the Spice Girls still relevant?" I'm dying 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ellensa9632]

Really envious of your friendship group, you are all so talented and passionate, whereas my group is fully of untalented potatoes

[@DanLayton]

I like potatoes

[@ellensa9632]

Daniel J. Layton me too. potatoes are stable foods

[@rhiannon9549]

I've only found your channel recently, but I'm just enjoying getting to know you as a person. I know you think it seems scrappy, but it kinda has this lovely theme of music running through it, you may have been doing different things, but there was always a flow of music running through it. I just wanted to say that I'm glad you're following what you want to do

[@victoriavsworld]

god of predicting oscar winners 🙌

[@DanLayton]

Honestly? I'm SO good at it. Every year. I've picked the Best Picture winner three years in a row against everyone else's judgement. It's my superpower.

[@eabhac4879]

I've been waiting! I absolutely loved your guys cover of someone in the crowd. the outtakes were hilarious, it all looked line so much fun

[@annabel4313]

BEAUTIFUL applause transition

[@user-jt4kl2sj5g]

i didn't know you went to see alan menken too, after seeing carrie, gary+ petes videos with him i appreciate him so much more. he seems so lovely!!

[@DanLayton]

He was WONDERFULLY charming.

[@ratherryan]

Love this, the transitions and content alike are grand. This is a stellar piece of work.

[@parallax4016]

i love your videos and the way you talk about yourself and your life, it really makes me feel like i'm watching a journey

[@joelagain7479]

I'd only just forgotten about the Moonlight/La La Land drama and now you've brought it up again and I'm feeling that secondhand embarrassment all over again. I'll be honest, I kinda enjoyed the scrappiness of this. Not sure why, but it made it real enjoyable to watch. Also very jealous of you being able to quit your job to do this full-time. You're doing grand and you're bloomin' fantastic.

[@spanielbounce3135]

I love these behind-the-scenes moments, and reactions to major events, it brings back all the memories and feels ❤ Here's to a happy VEDA, Dan 🍷

[@bekah9344]

ALWAYS my favorite. scrap month or not it's always interesting to see what you've done with the footage you have and hearing you talk about it was especially nice.

[@katieparker3414]

Nice clapping transition

[@DanLayton]

THANKS SO KIND OF YOU TO NOTICE

[@gemma6139]

Katie x hello

[@caitlinyayy7309]

The storm trooper spatula is giving me life

[@Iheartstarkid4sure]

HONEStly, not only are these so so entertaining to watch (it's the same friendly feeling I get from a podcast), but it also inspires me to make plans and do more things with my freetime.

[@hannahlou2874]

Ooh love down with love! Such a good movie

[@megstar92]

You were in the same room as ALAN MENKEN!! Just wow... I think I would of cried.

[@rosestar26]

I'm so excited for this VEDA! Great video btw x

[@ronan6060]

Omg I loved this one! I think it's one of my favorite of your videos. It was NOT scrappy! 😍😍

[@ConnorWardUK]

Dan you now rank so much higher on my KZbin list for the simple reason you said Hercules is your fave haha

[@mimine12344]

YES, thank you for picking this song, Hercules is one of my favourite Disney movies! I liked the vlog, didn't need to be 100% coherent in context, you edited it well!

[@katies7415]

I looooovvveeee music and lyrics!!!

[@emilynolf]

Dang this was just a great video to watch! I love your hair btw, it looks fantastic!

[@pointouttheobvioux]

DOWN WITH LOVE!!!! I swear no one has ever heard of it but I love it so much

[@rollingwaves1290]

I love the little comments you insert on the screen, big laugh

[@eilishmac]

I love these

[@lavenderbard]

This was so good ! I loved it.

[@rosaliefrcs5876]

The croud noise making is dope hahaha

[@nezbut7]

Im So Excited For Veda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JessicaBarnes1991]

Loving these vlogs can't wait to see the next one, also would love to see some more Baking With Layton or singing videos! x

[@kialafiction]

The clapping transition 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 boi

[@beckymjpen7079]

Down with love is one of my all time favourite films

[@kayakb]

I loved this! I don't know much about filming but it didn't feel scrappy to me, it felt like a collection of moments

[@helenlee1045]

i really enjoyed this it's very real and that's extremely nice.

[@brandybucked]

really nice transition there dan, at 7 minutes in.

[@DanLayton]

Thanks for noticing ;)

[@brandybucked]

yeah I meant the clapping one ofc, in case that wasn't clear. gr9 job

[@JimothyMcgee]

Great video

[@abi-ge1ef]

this was so good im v excited for the rest of PMS and also you should totally cover a song from la la land with dodie for VEDA if u run out of ideas lol

[@annasm]

I like the style of these videos. And I like that one month delay because I tend to forget things really quickly and this is a nice reminder :) It wasn't an excessive amount of La La Land for me personally. PS Hercules is my fave as well!!

[@RomaneMSV]

I actually don't mind the 'scrappy' feel to your PMS's, but of course it is important that you feel connected with your work so I hope you'll figure that out and get more personal satisfaction out of this series maybe? Also good luck with veda and with youtube as your full time job, excited to see where it will lead you!

[@greyishmilk]

the best part about the fuck up for me was that i saw it live at like 6am and then just getting ready for school and being the only one who knew kind of what happened and everyone else at school didn't really

[@LemonadeWorker]

that clapping transition though

[@foolsgold3852]

I loved this x

[@McKennaKay14]

Like paintin' a masterpiece, it's a work of heart

[@amandafiallos9050]

Without a shadow of a doubt, I can safely say that Daniel J. Layton is my hero.

[@maryannhickey8047]

I'd really love to hear some singing videos for VEDA, you have a beautiful voice 💕

[@AnnaWoods]

My boi I knew you'd pull through luv ya

[@ellamei9456]

I love the spatula used for the pancakes 💙

[@alicem8081]

I had to do weird silent laughter at this video because I'm watching it at uni when I should be working 😂

[@Tom_MT]

Great breathing at the end, a real highlight for me.

[@snejq3]

i think daniels videos seem so "right out of life". like just taking the camera and filming his friends and him without any staged things idk why i find this nice to watch :D EDIT: it's also nice to see daniel being in a place he doesn't like and him working his way out of it to somewhere more to his liking and it feels like "hm i think i can do this too". because it doesn't seem so far away as in videos of some other youtubers idk

[@officiallucilu6446]

My favourite thing in this one is the Starbucks you are here mug at 10:08 as I collect them lol xxx

[@abireadthat]

Who is that man playing the piano towards the middle?! Its absolutely beautiful.

[@DanLayton]

Alan Menken, who's responsible for writing basically every Disney song you know. He has eight Oscars, but I don't know if I mentioned that in the video?

[@abireadthat]

Daniel J. Layton You didn't mention it in the video, no. he's an incredible man. Eight Oscars

[@jaymerkin]

I bumped into you in the street once, after walking for a further 10 mins, i came to the ultimate realisation of: HOLY FUJK THAT WAS DANIEL J LAYTON HOW DID I NOT REALISE! it was outside a spar at about 3.20pm

[@oliviaburke2294]

I love these ! Also please do your review of the beauty and the beast live action movie! I love listening to you talk about films!

[@fleur1492]

I always listen to audiobooks when I can't sleep (preferably Jane Austen because I know them by heart). It really helps me take my mind off everything.

[@UllisEP]

Hell yes! To the video but mainly to Hercules being the FAVE! I used to know it by heart. And I'm not talking mouthing along to the words, I mean able to recite the WHOLE film from beginning to end with no prompting. I'm a real chill person... 😬

[@spanielbounce3135]

Also, You call *that* a pair of pliers? Goodness me! 😃 I can highly recommend a pair of self-locking pliers, they're super handy for stuff around the house and these sorts of emergencies (but hats off to you and Jack for actually getting Ciaran out!)

[@jonnypayne598]

Pretty sure that they were small wire cutters.

[@emilyevans2086]

When Hazel says 'Title of your sex tape' at the Jack and Dean screening, is she referencing Brooklyn Nine-NIne? Amazing.

[@sandralovesmusic15]

Oh my god I want that spatula

[@paulineliu8286]

Excuse my uncultured self, but who is that extremely talented man with, as mentioned many times, eight Oscars?

[@allyson9188]

Alan Menken, he's a composer. He wrote music for many Disney films.

[@user-jt4kl2sj5g]

Pauline Liu alan menken, he's amazing!!

[@floralspectre]

Probably the composer of the music from your childhood ☺️ Alan Menken

[@Meggalex]

I want to start weekly vlogging like this during the summer!!

[@eloisebrooks5804]

ok so my dad literally adores music and lyrics and it isn't his typical ouvre at all, he's more of a scifi/thriller guy, but Pop! Goes my heart is an actual jam mate (also this pms was brilliant good on you pal)

[@alyssa_duh8373]

Heyo, it's not scrappy, it's wonderful, you really need to work on being more appreciative of the things that you make. We all have trouble with it and you, Daniel J. Layton, do too. It doesn't really matter how many times you say that you'll try to like your creations more, somehow we all tend to fall short at a point. Criticize yourself but don;t undermine yourself. Also absolutely LIVING for VEDA keep that up, I need to catch up on it but damn. Coming home to a new video by you is AWESOME keep it up you're doing amazing!

[@DanLayton]

THANK YOU FOR THESE AFFIRMATIONS

[@alyssa_duh8373]

not sure if that's sarcasm or not but you're welcome?

[@DanLayton]

Iris Just Cause It wasn't, that was a very lovely comment.

[@n0flow3rs_pls65]

I LOVE HERCULES OH MY GOD IM SCREAMING AND CRYING INTERNALLY

[@elizabethscanlan6633]

I'm guessing this is part of Vimaica?😂(I'm not complaining at all!)And I just realised this is February, fair play to you for keeping up to date😂

[@MarkHilton1]

well I must say, chloe's moves at 3:37 were a+

[@MsKetchupBlaBla]

Your current haircut is fine as heck. The video's also pretty okay (joking it's great).

[@42by10]

I would totally watch all those movies. Except maybe Sex in the City. Sorry. Also, you lucked out with the locked door. My whole animation college got locked in our building, TWICE, and we had to take the doorknob off entirely. I don't know why the doorknob wasn't replaced the first time.
