At about the 10 minute mark I stopped to realize I was sitting in my home office at 12:30am watching 2 men eat bugs off a plate on the internet. I need to take a hard look at my life.

I can honestly say I never thought I'd see the day where Dan is eating something with few problems and Stuart has taken his place gagging offscreen. Incredible.

"Oh shit its wings have fallen off" is something I hope I never have to say about the food which is about to enter my mouth.

Damn those strawberries looked beautiful. They where the most perfect strawberries I have ever seen.

I don't even like strawberries and felt like hitting ashens for wasting them

*Dan* : Gags

[@kourii]

I'd watch the shit out of that

[@pixelplays964]

A video of Dan and Stu having a normal conversation with strawberries would be a great podcast-y video.

[@StevePagetWorld]

I wonder if there's a Chinese KZbin channel where two blokes dare each other to eat Cadbury's Creme Eggs?

[@jamescollins6085]

I would love to see it.

[@lordcrayzar]

No

[@northumbriabushcraft1208]

creme eggs are foul, the only bugs iv'e had are crickets and i'd way rather have those

[@PanRysownikRysuje]

So the legends were true. A British man might be on the brink of death after drinking poison, but even they he has to say "cheers" before taking a swip of some medicine.

[@maRomar0]

I think that quite a lot of people would watch a video titled "Dan and Stuart eating delicious stawberries"

[@KillThad]

Hell yea

[@paulpaiva844]

maRomar0 Dan would probably puke eating that as well 😂

[@DDBurnett1]

That should have been the original title, to trick people in.

[@KougajiCalling]

It would be different.

[@nofreezepeach3959]

maRomar0 Then a giant fucking centipede pops out.

[@DrShaym]

You go out onto your front porch and unscrew the light fixture. You look at the bottom of the glass and see all of the rotting insect fragments. You get a good whiff. You pour it into your mouth. You feel the texture on your tongue. It is dry, crunchy, and somewhat fuzzy. You regret every decision you have ever made.

[@Shikamaru747]

Except that most recent one, of course. Mmm, that crunchiness.

[@apfanco]

Personally, if I did that. I would just pull the whole fixture out of the wall, throw it on the ground and light it on fire.

[@HaveCarapace]

"Are you sure? I don't want you to be sick." most unexpected line from Dan, lol. Also, to offset some of people who always whine: Dan is a great foil to Ashens, and I like when he's in the videos. The complaints people make about him are just bizarre.

[@Dorraj]

The complaints about him are the same you could say about Stuart. Stu eats simple microwavable burgers and acts like they taste like a week old hotdog that he found on the ground. Dan acts like everything he eats is literal vomit.

[@peterclarke7240]

To be fair, microwave burgers are only supposed to be eaten by people who have absolutely no other choice other than death, and extremely drunk people who didn't get to the kebab shop before it shut. And those are the expensive ones. Ashens tends to review the extra cheap and nasty ones that Iceland sells, that no man should eat except at gunpoint.

[@DarthRushy]

Thumbs up if Ashens eating strawberries would totally bring in the viewers.

[@cruxmind]

no.

[@lily91109]

Nope

[@tetsuo3673]

+DarthRushy please do ashen strawberry special

[@DarthRushy]

[@timothymenard4946]

Dan is wonderful.

[@author.jessica.kemery]

I like Dan. I don't know why you all are whinging.

[@Darkwolfpocco]

I like Dan too but maybe its because I've been a fan sense before there first 10 reviews in 10 minutes.

[@SmeddyTooBestChannel]

[@gormless-idiot]

This video turned him into a vegan

[@ryanmorton3841]

So apparently people don't like Dan, it's fair enough to criticise the video and his role in the video but some people really seem to hate him and want rid of him and expect Ashens to bend over and comply to these whims. If I were Ashens and people were demanding that I got rid of one of my close friends I'd keep putting him in videos just to piss people off.

[@ThePatryk72]

Good way to loose your job and your fanbase.

[@Evilgoodone]

ThePatryk72 He'll be better off those whiny bitches, who arent his true fans in a first place.

[@AisukurimuYusukurimu]

Evilgoodone I agree with you 100% In honor of that sentiment, I motion that we rename this channel "Ashens and Dan BFF-Butt-Party-4Life"

[@LaJin9292]

I don't mind dan in these regular videos, but I'm still pissed off that they went and cast him as Chef Excellence. He can act even less than Ashens and he doesn't even fucking match the character in one damn fucking bit.

[@ryanmorton3841]

ThePatryk72 I was being facetious towards the end there but I still stand by my point, people need to remove the sticks that are lodged in their anal cavities.

[@karmanwilmot1648]

I once participated in a small fear factor that was held in a facility as a graduation party by my high school. Me and 1 or 2 girls and a few guys participated(two of the guys were foot ball players). First we had to past a easy round of eating raw veggies. Next we had to do a team game of holding a donkey tong in our mouth while going around cones(it was awkward). Then we had to do another team game of one person at one end of a line of cones while the other (with just their mouth) scoops a spoon full of live grasshoppers in honey and goes around the cones and feeds the other person, then switch places and repeat. Next we had to draw a card from a deck randomly, was handed a bowl of lucky charms and what ever the number was on the card was how many alive earth worms you had to put in the cereal and eat. The two food ball guys didn't even try and quit, and I ate it as fast as I could. Everything was rather pleasant until the worms....I almost threw up. finally it was me and my partner against each other. The announcer brought out a plastic wine cup and inside was.......two alive Australian cockroaches. He told us to come to get to know the roaches and I immediately did so while my rival just stood there in horror. I petted it and the announcer was amazed and said, "Everyone, she is petting the cockroach!" After a few minutes of the speaker talking I asked when we start, he said whenever. I grabbed it and tried to hold it still, you won't believe how strong their legs are until you try holding one still. My rival hesitated for 20 seconds or so and tried to grab it but freaked and dropped it on the audience. People freaked of course, and I saw this as a opportunity to get ahead and quickly got a idea...fold it in half so the legs won't claw my tongue or walk around. I ate it as fast as I could.....do NOT eat it.....it was mushy like pudding with grit and crunchy shells. The guts was sooooo ronchy and gross I gagged and was really close to throwing up. luckily I finished and two classmates came to me with cups of water to rinse. The announcer announced that I was the first girl he's seen win; and unknown to me, I won $50! I was just competing for the expedience XD! I had always been unpopular and had no friends (or maybe a couple at most) my whole life and had bad to abusive teachers. However, in that final two hours or so during and after the fear factor, I became more popular and had people all around me praising me, congratulating me, and just simply noticing me, talking to me and smiling with genuine friendliness. I wish I was still in school I miss my classmates and teachers and even the work. Now i'm 20, no friends, no job (currently because my scoliosis hurts too much), live at my mom's with my step-dad and 4 year old half brother, helping around the house with chores and money because they don't have jobs because of their health problems and will soon have my grandparents move in as well because they no longer can take care of them self's and I will help them. I'm not sure what my future has in store for me but...watching this video reminds me of that fear factor day and all the good times; for that, I thank you for all the videos you post that make me laugh and make me forget all my troubles Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ! Thank you to anyone who has sticked through till the end of my long ramble｡(*^▽^*)ゞ !

[@TheAceSpaceman]

Here in Mexico, we have a dish called "Chapulines" that are form of grasshoppers but those are very tiny. Chapulines are cooked fried, served with salt and lemon...they taste delicious, and those insects you're showing do not even looked cooked...or boiled as Stuart says. They look like they were killed and just packaged, glad you didn't got poisoned or something.

Bizarre foods? here in Mexico we can find Chapulines (grasshoppers) at the local market, the grasshopper is one of the most common insects of mexican cuisine, they are very tasty because they are toasted, and sometimes toasted with chili, although i have to say, those bugs of the video don't look that good.

[@PycasneEesost]

In the UK, eating insects is fucking weird. They just stick to stuffed sheep intestines.

It's funny how people have no problems what so ever with eating something like shrimps. Have you ever looked at a shrimp? It's basically just a really large insect - but because it lives underwater, there's no problem eating it.

[@apollo-3744]

Wtf is with all the overly possessive egotistical comments in chat? Ashens does solo reviews almost every week. Dan is a fresh take on reviewing and is probably much more more enjoyable for Stewart too. You fools are acting like he should only do what you want, you don't own Ashens, let the man does what he damn well pleases

[@Adam-jr3nw]

The viewers are technically, in a way, paying. We watch ads which give him income. That's the main reason why he does these videos. If people don't like Dan, then that will decrease ad revenue as they won't want to watch the videos with Dan in. I personally don't want Dan in Ashens videos, as it's just boring, he's a boring guy, it isn't the same with Dan in. I'm sure he's a great guy as a friend, but I don't like him in the videos. Just my personal opinion.

I miss the videos of just Ashens, I have no problem with Dan, but I enjoy the videos a lot more when it's just Ashens.

[@dennett316]

Why? No, seriously, what is it behind this bizarre mentality? He's done plenty of videos that are just him...the last being just 5 days ago. You miss something that is by no means a rare occurrence? You have no problem with Dan, but think he detracts from the videos "a lot"? What's with people and this bizarre distaste for things being different?

[@NoxVulpes]

Paul Dennett I think it's more that Dan grates on some people. I actually enjoy his presence more often than not, but every now and then he even irritates me. I forget which video it was, though I believe it was the "stupidly long crap food special", where he got a little holier-than-thou about being a dietary health nut, and I just faintly hoped he stubbed his toe or something in a fit of petty irritation. A little time in front of the camera seems to have him mellowing out a tad, though.

[@influencehistory8879]

I have a proble m with Dan have you seen his videos!??! there a fucking nightmare.

[@Sunderfury]

Paul Dennett What's with your bizarre whiteknighting of someone you don't even know? Is it that you don't understand taste and preference and you assume that the sole reason he is disliked is that he's new to the videos? Here, let me help you along with an easy to comprehend example so that you never post this kind of nonsense again. Imagine you are watching Blackadder. Now imagine that for some reason they randomly introduce an unfunny man, let's say David Cameron, who takes up part of the episode, cutting Rowan Atkinson's dialogue by half. The series is still watchable because the rest of the writing is good, but it is not as good as it was before the needless addition of this man. Are you going to attribute this to a "distaste for things being different"? Of course not, that'd be bloody idiotic.

[@jayz4evr]

Paul Dennett because that guy is lame, unfunny and boring. Got your answer now?

Dan is a trooper!! Hats off to you mate!!

Why Ashens looks like Simon Pegg from Shaun of the Dead?

[@conorhardly6046]

Actually I was convinced for ages that Ashens acted in that film.

[@clockworkkirlia7475]

THAT'S WHERE I RECOGNISE HIM FROM

[@MrCheesyBaconBits]

Lassi Kinnunen the truth

[@RattPoison80]

He doesn't

[@LoyalistViral]

Look, I love Dan as much as the next guy, but it would be nice to go back to basics every once in a while with Stu just eating stuff on his own with out Dan been in my ear. I don't hate him, it's just that Dan has been in every food one Stu has done for quite sometime.

[@dennett316]

So? If you don't hate him, what's the problem? I don't get this weird urge people get for everything to stay the same, always and forever. It's a peculiar thing I only ever run into on the internet.

[@clearspira]

Oh look at the upvotes.... Thats above 95% positive isn't it? Yep Dan thankfully isn't going anywhere. Better get used to it sweetie.

[@felinusfeline5559]

People don't really seem to get that it's okay to dislike Dan. It's called having an oppinion :P I agree with you actually. I miss the "just Ashens" videos.

[@QWERTYCommander]

His Gameboy videos he's doing right now are literally about as back to basics as you can get.

[@killme3862]

What next guy? Nobody likes Dan XD

[@bloodrunsclear]

I think Ashens likes making Dan suffer

[@agepop]

we all have our kinks

[@EurEvansIsh]

Stuart! Dan! A KZbin video has never made me shudder and feel weird before so congratulations. You've broken new ground. Insects are one of a few things I'm squeamish about. Tuning in was a daft idea :)

[@Derpplup]

[@TheRookie121]

Why do I always end up watching Ashens eat weird stuff when I am having dinner. Owell, dont want it to get cold.

[@HO-bndk]

Salty and crispy on the way down, more wet and vinegary on the way straight back up again.

[@stephenpaget1517]

This looks like the sort of food Timon and Pumbaa would love to eat.

[@alexthebustyrussian]

Get over his whole Dan and Stuart thing. Some variety once in a while is always nice.

[@uTubeNoITube]

Dan is awesome, he's "Chef Excellence" for real.

[@Andy-413]

That first one actually wasn't a maggot, it was a chrysalis, aka cocoon. Also silica gel isn't poisonous, it's essentially just sand, but it can give you an upset stomach if you ate a lot of it though.

[@mattiekarwin3667]

"...I don't wanna eat these Stuart." I don't know why that's what make me burst out laughing XD

[@tudythegangster]

Is this video Bear Grylls approved?

[@myleswalton1046]

As long as they drink their own piss in the middle of the Sahara desert I think they'll get a good rating from him.

[@papayer]

I love how you can palp the genuine desperation and shock in Dan's voice as Stuart suddenly drops the hammer on him. 'we're gonna have insects for today, screw you'

[@demoleramera]

Your username is a work of art, as a dropout art school student who couldn't draw a circle to save my life I highly approve of this!

Keep Dan. He's cool, and it pisses all these people below off, which is hilarious

[@MrCheekbutt]

How?

[@werdna4577]

MrCheekbutt Cow farms take up a lot of space and corn, and they put a a LOT of methane. An insect farm doesn't do any of this.

[@ziaolol]

I think if I tried to sum up why people prefer videos of just Stuart, it wouldn't be that we dislike Dan. He comes across as a great guy. I think there's more of a connection when it's just Stu. Like he's talking to us, interacting with us. When Dan is there, they are interacting together and we are just watching (or hearing) them go on about their business with each other.

[@SonicChaocc]

No body likes Dan? Oh wait, a lot of people like Dan. Ashens, put Dan in alll the videos and have 90% of your videos featuring Dan. Even have Dan eating his breakfast

[@alibobble]

They are so much worse completely plain and unsalted - trust me. Almost nutty. Almost. An accurate description of the flavour would be a pub carpet that had mud on it and at some point had some KP dry roasted peanuts spilled onto it. Not recommended.

[@RageingMuffin]

The dried bugs are actually better for mixing in things like trail mix. POSSIBLY for cooking with. Most bugs on their own are bland tasting but if you farm them and feed them different things they can have different tastes. For example, feeding grubs sweet fruits like mango or pineapple make them sweet and ideal for using in place of fruit in trail mixes, while feeding them on meats will give them a savory taste ideal for stir-fry. There's an insect museum here in Philadelphia that used to have fried meal worms that tasted similar to chips (uh...crisps) A lot of people are farming bugs because they're an easily farmed source of protein that pretty much anyone can care for in their own homes, rather than needing big plots of land for big farm animals that breed slower and cost more money to care for.

[@cocososupergeek]

i like dan in ashens' videos. *GO AHEAD, HATERS!*

[@dawavve]

The intermission screens make me laugh every time

[@TicTacZac12]

Where did they get the bugs? It looks like something they swept up from under a refrigerator.

[@espurious]

They're nicely packaged, meaning someone else did the sweeping up.

[@TheWargod56]

There are actually farms for buggs, they are harvested and then distributed for the intended purpose. (I think china had the same thing with sharks, where they would breed and farm them for their fins and things).

[@Jomster777]

Personally delivered by Bear Grylls to Ashens house.
