I'm alive!!! 2017 VLOGMAS DAY 28

[@elenaaru1769]

Dooger :" what do u want to drink?" Sam : " POISON!!!" dooger : "what do u really want honey" Sam :" ...........hot chocolate" Golden moment

[@Rudia1408]

Sam is so freaking precious

[@alexbuhl1316]

I was like "OMG STAHP" too cute

[@StickyTank]

i love how sam's tough-guy routine cracks, when asking for hot chocolate xD

[@Dunkingsonn]

"A family o' dick'eads.... hot chocolate"

[@MorriganJade]

And he's the one liking hot chocolate with sugar, if I catch Dodger's hint correctly :D

[@LooseCo]

Everyone talking about the dog, but the wedding pic being up on the wall is the cutest shit

[@toticu]

Being around kids might be the only time Doogs gets to feel what it's like to be taller than someone, and that's kind of adorable. Hope you're feeling much better.

[@Kimmyfuzzygogglepage]

currently_sleeping she has little nieces and nephews also ,

[@JoJoTalksTooMuch]

Nelly is the cutest thing ever, omg

[@wanderingursa8184]

Any idea what breed it is?

[@RyanHall42]

*terrified dog noises*

[@713thHellhound]

i believe it Dachshund

[@Ginrikuzuma]

plot twist: Nelly sees what Dodger is and is terrified by her. A mass collection of cats in human shape.

[@HanoiRocks1994]

I thought u meant the sis in law, guess i just tried to validate my own thoughts

[@swiftlymurmurs]

Man, the Thorne family seems like a blast to hang out with

[@patrickkwong4651]

They don't even have prickly personalities! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@pkkthetiger]

Its so nice seeing you around so much love and family since i remember watching way back in 2011-12 and seeing this made me realise what a long way its been. Congrats doog. you made it.

[@cafevampire5484]

omg, Sam's story of his brother bell-tapping him made me cry

[@wittyreviewer]

Doogs is so good with kids, it's adorable.

[@JRSiebz]

Well, they are her peers :P

[@expertGH3]

Nelly is the cutest doggo and i want to pet her forever ☺️

[@SunnySunflowers510]

Welcome back to the living!! That wedding picture is everything

[@sazuki462]

I really like that we get to see more of the Thorne family house this year. It looks gorgeous.

[@HossMosh]

How did Sam know his dance would sync up with the intro music. My mind is blown

[@chaosdestructionlove]

Honestly I can never get over how huge Sam's house is. It's so cute how you flip into the UK speak when you come over here, it's nice as a person in a ...distinctions like house to see a peak into a mo e normal household. Plus the cute photos and animals. C':

[@CorsairJoshua]

Doogs does the Geralt bath pose confirmed.

[@souledgar]

We don't have many dryers here either in Singapore, and its really weird when you think about it - Both England and us are really wet and moist countries where air drying could really bite us in the arse if things take too long or if it rains, while in LA, you guys are in the desert and I would imagine air drying would take no time at all.

[@Sadimal]

It varies. I live in a very humid area (mid-Atlantic US near the ocean) and air drying takes maybe 3-4 hours unless it’s cold.

[@drowningin]

I live in Houston its a swamp. 100% humidity and it could be a crystal clear day then suddenly its about to flood then 5minutes later the suns out and no clouds. We have most AC in U.S. and have tried drying on poles but the bugs(swamp) and the sudden rains and overall humidity means you never see it. People walk to laundramats versus hanging clothes

[@TetraSky]

Sam was streaming VR, one of his bro came in, punched him in the nuts while the other bro filmed it? ... Wow.... Just... Wow... That family is hardcore >.>

[@Mellowcanuck33]

Brothers are beastly predators. Jackals. And they'd die for ya. Paradox.

[@Frellyouall]

We need to see it.

[@josh-cb5iw]

Tetra Sky British family. We are all like that

[@PinkSCynicism]

Sounds like family alright.

[@andy9184]

do you not have brothers cause I feel that that's something any brother would do to you?

[@maxlee2477]

2:10 "You're so good at trains" so cute

[@Toranaga]

Hope you are ok Doogs, happy holidays!

[@HeapOfBones]

Interesting how Finland is simultaneously like and unlike both UK when it comes to laundry. Our washing machines are not in the kitchen but in the bathroom (an entirely separate laundry room would be weird usually). On the other hand we don't usually have driers either (some do but it's more of a luxury thing than a necessity) which I guess is odd considering how cold it gets during winter.

[@tomjaem]

Was Sam live when he was punched in the balls? I really want to see a clip of that.

[@naicitoahc]

Nelly's lil noises are killing me. i love that dog.

[@Kimmyfuzzygogglepage]

AdieMs sam’s dog passed away last week , so she misses him

[@MULTICK111]

Please tell me that Tommy realised he put the track upside down.

[@PressHeartToContinue]

Multickjohan111 I mean he’s a 1 year old so the fact that he can typically notice it and put them together correctly at all blows my mind.

[@phish01]

tommy needs to, ahhh.. get gud

[@MULTICK111]

PressHeartToContinue Well that's pretty cool , kids sure can surprise you at how much smarter they are than you would expect. But it's painfully sad to see kids get confused and frustrated when the track won't work.

[@Beatrixacs300]

So... Many... Beautiful... ANIMALS!!! :) I hope you're feeling better, Dooger.

[@peppybocan]

4:36 Travelling makes you weaker, tired. Travelling sick is just another level on top of being already tired af.

[@bingo784]

And this is why I've decided to live my life as a shut-in neet and sustain myself off of Amazon.

[@peppybocan]

what? :D I mean, literally, what? :D

[@LowStuff]

Also different pressure on airplane doesn't help.

[@ACook94]

Peter Bočan recycled air on a airplane with tons of people doesnt help

[@CloakedC]

2:32 Did Tommy try to shoo Dooger away by saying "Good Talk"? XD

[@Dethmeister]

Hehe. He said "Good job" because that's what Dodger told him earlier.

[@neoburst1]

the most important question though. who won the family quiz?!?!?!?!?!

[@PressHeartToContinue]

Neil Blackadder not us ;_;

[@neoburst1]

noooooo. next year XD

[@GoblinsAreAGirlsBestFriend]

Okay but Nelly is the cutest. Merry Christmas Dodger

[@LarinaValarin]

Last year my hubby and I were sick when we flew to Germany to see family and I was so miserable the entire week we were home. I was so congested that I basically lost hearing in one of my ears for a few days. The pressure changes, dry air and being stuck in a tin can with a bunch of potentially also sick people is a craptacular combo. Glad you're feeling better now though! We went to see my family for Christmas too, but thankfully the sick didn't hit us until after Christmas eve, and not nearlyt as bad.

[@Jellooze]

I can see how adding water to hot chocolate could be good, im not lactose intolerant or anyting like that but when i drink only-milk hot chocolate my stomach hurt like a mofo, And having less milk could probably help against that

[@blizzard0508]

Leone To me, hot chocolate has no milk. If you make it with milk it's just chocolate milk, which is best cold any day. Hot chocolate is sweetened chocolate water.

[@gastoncastrovivoda5211]

2:32 "Good job". I'm dead. I had a cuteness overload and exploded and I'm dead. I'm a ghost writing this. Boo.

[@tag7299]

Hot chocolate recipe: 40-50g of milk chocolate, 12 oz / 350 mL milk, a bit of cinnamon. Or, 40-50g of white chocolate, 12 oz / 350 mL milk, 1/8 vanilla pod. Heat the milk carefully in a pot, stirr in the chocolate and the cinnamon/vanilla and keep stirring until all the chocolate has dissolved. Make sure the liquid is hot at all times but never boils. Once poured into a cup, stirr before drinking, it's not entirely emulsed, the cacao butter will slightly separate.

[@timmer14414]

So glad you are feeling better! You and the virtual dreamboat enjoy, we will be here when you have time for the vlog.

[@applestu5875]

Wow! I was at that exact same cinema two weeks before watching Star Wars, never would've thought that the Thorne family lived so close.

[@Dragon79758]

I am glad you are feeling better dodger. I hope you have a great time with your family!

[@ecostarr]

Airport experiences are so variant depending on the airport. Door to gate in Denver 2.5 hours (40 minutes of travel time, nearly 2 hours at the airport getting to the gate). Door to gate at DCA 30 minutes (Only 15 minutes of travel time, but also only 15 minutes at the airport getting to the gate).

[@phelanii4444]

The dogs are cute, the cats are cute, that photo on the wall is super cute, the fact that they're all hot chocolate drinkers is cute, I swear the wait was worth it Doogs, I almost melted away from all the cute.

[@MicrowavableJeesus]

How can a hot chocolate family fill most of the cup with water that's sacrilege

[@reb21poison]

Blaze459 thats how is traditionally done get over it

[@deadtoad990]

Milk is gods choice

[@FiorinaArtworks]

I read: "fill most of the tub with water" and thought the topic was taking a hot chocolate bath.

[@cakeisamadeupdrug6134]

"Hot chocolate powder" makes no sense to me too. Just get 100% chocolate powder (from the baking section typically) and add your own milk and sugar to taste. It takes less time to microwave the milk than it would to boil the kettle.

[@JackBellamy1997]

You microwave milk? what is happening---

[@jolean_cujoh]

Oh shit. I totally forgot Cry hit his hand on the ceiling fan! Goddamn that was painful to listen to....

[@yeet2937]

where can I find this

[@L-Puffin]

Just look up "Cryaotic abuses one of his fans", you won't be disappointed ^^

[@Uldihaa]

I saw at least half of those "Sam hits his hand on his desk" moments. Sam even helpfully posted some of them on his channel. Hot chocolate is only proper if it contains milk. Here, the Thorne family is using the hot water to heat the milk; the side-effect of doing it that way is that is might dilute the milk's natural sweetness which in-turn leads to "Naming-no-names" to add sugar. I just heat the milk itself either in a microwave or a countertop mini-kettle. Just need to stop heating before it boils.

[@samleheny1429]

That's odd about the dryers, since the whether is often so crap in England. But I guess maybe that's why, because long before the invention of dryers, they were already adept at getting their clothes dry despite the whether.

[@LittlePenguinLove]

I’m happy that you’re feeling better! I went through something similar a few years ago. I got really sick during the last days of my vacation and had to travel from LAX all the way back home to Europe and felt and looked completely miserable all the way. I immediately went to bed the moment I got home and pretty much stayed there for a good week. Not fun at all

[@PJDuffield]

we mainly put our washing machines in the kitchen cause theres nowhere else to put them tbh like we don't have room to put them in there own separate space

[@rickh852]

I am an American and my parents had the washing machine in the kitchen for the reason you stated PJ Duffield. No room any place else. : /

[@SmilerAndSadEyes]

13:12 "not a ton of people have dryers? So there's a rack somewhere to let them air dry right?

[@ayasano6646]

In the winter we mostly hang stuff on radiators, or if there aren't any then yeah, we'll use something like a clothes horse or one of those things with pegs you can hang somewhere. In the summer most houses have at least a small garden with a washing line to hang stuff on.

[@patu8010]

I think in Finland everyone has their washing machine in the bathroom

[@ahctlucabbus]

@patu8010 Same in Norway

[@DaveSimonH]

Glad you are feeling a bit better now, if you have/had what I have, take all the time you need to rest. I started getting sick just before the 25th, it then ruined my Christmas dinner (no appetite & feeling sick). In the days, since I've probably only had 2 or 3 meals, and was sleeping only an hour or 2 at a time, waking up because I couldn't breathe through my nose... Constant coughing (to point of strained chest muscles) & constant running nose like a faucet. It totally drained me, so I can only imagine what that + an international flight would have done.

[@muzikmystro]

Doogs, my whole family here in Ireland have been struck-down with that same flu since Christmas Eve. You felt worse on the plane because air-con spreads sickness! It’s the worst! It’s also very easy to catch illnesses in colder climates so you’ll feel better in sunny L.A., I’m sure. It’s very common in Ireland to have a washer and dryer in a utility room/ laundry room separate to the kitchen. If you ever feel like touring the country, hit me up as your guide 😄 Much love to you and Sam xo

[@allysonfernance2514]

I really kinda wanna see this bath! It sounds amazing!!!

[@FiorinaArtworks]

I keep imagining Dodger trying to swim her way out of the tub xD

[@luluchans]

What a nice surprise, especially since everybody else's vlogmas have ended! Glad to see you're doing a lot better and (in a Steve Holt voice) BE-ATRRICE!

[@CornerGuy]

Gets sick for Christmas: Merry Christmas, you've been very naughty. I feel you, I just got over my holiday misery.

[@baijokull]

Your vlogs always make my day happier. Thanks :P

[@ravenstromdans]

Wow...of all the countries that would go ALL IN on the size of their movie theatre hot dogs, England was not one that came to mind, but GODDAYUM YALL, dial it back a little. Holy shit.

[@PressHeartToContinue]

Raven Stromdans IT WAS LIKE THE SIZE OF TWO NORMAL HOTDOGS I WAS SHOOK

[@DeaganDunne]

Dial it back?? You heathen

[@ravenstromdans]

"I WAS SHOOK" made me laugh WAY too hard. I'm just picturing you having an existential breakdown over hot-dog gigantism. LOL!

[@JimPlaysGames]

As far as I know you only see those bigguns in cinemas.

[@Micktrex]

That's what we call a 2 hour hot dog in ol' blighty.

[@Curia__]

I think my favorite part of these is seeing things from a bitty person perspective.

[@trueheart78]

So glad you’re feeling better. I am thrilled you still get to enjoy the stay. Happy Holidays to the Thornes! 🎄 🎁 💫

[@Frellyouall]

No matter how many times I see this house I can't get over how rich the Thornes must be.

[@LostKnights]

I fully expected a ton of comments about the whole "biggest hotdog I've ever seen" thing, but good on you community for keeping it classy!

[@arcryves2630]

Mentioning cry when he hurt his hand was A HUGE FLASHBACK MY GOD

[@sneaky0189]

Yeah vlogmas has returned. Wait, that means dodger is feeling better. Double awesomesauce!

[@W_Tile]

Good to see you are getting better. Merry Holidays to you and your family

[@wahlflower3517]

Nelly reminds me of my sister's dogs. We were taking care of them for almost a month while my sister recovered from her c-section. But every day they would be in the living room looking out the window, waiting for mommy.

[@Kimmyfuzzygogglepage]

Wahl Flower that and sams other dog passed away last week , so she misses him also

[@fgfh10004]

Weird. Our washer/dryer are both not in the kitchen, same with my Aunt and same with my Nan. I just couldn't deal with that kind of noise while cooking or doing something in the kitchen, the fridge shearing off some ice cubes is enough to make me jump a mile

[@Varocka]

Glad you're on your way back to health Dooger!

[@frasermackie19]

love watching these vlogs ! all the best!

[@StanleyStifler]

Here in Argentina, washing machines are also mostly in the kitchen. The one in my house is in the kitchen

[@Stewbedale]

Goodness me the sounds Nelly makes lol. Glad you're feeling better!

[@Kimmyfuzzygogglepage]

Stewbedale sam’s dog passed away last week , so she misses him

[@BiggDoggJake]

Dodger: This is strait-up, the biggest hot dog I've ever seen in my life. Me: Says the one married to the man that is the "little one" at 6'4"...

[@Adderkleet]

10:50 try putting an After Eight at the bottom. Adds a nice minty touch.

[@_aullik]

Hey doogs. Always look at the bright side of things. You may have been bedridden over Christmas, but at least you didn't die.

[@TheSuperTrickey]

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas Thorne family!

[@ChrisPTenders]

We're Back! Love that movie!

[@OkamiAceBlade]

Glad your feeling better and have a fun time at the cinema also love the doggo waiting for her mum ares does that but it howls as soon as we go out the the shop

[@AGregtothePast]

We have our washer/dryer in the kitchen, too! We live in Maryland.

[@ItsTheCess]

Sitting here thinking how weird it is to have the washing machine in the kitchen......only to realize my washing machine is in my kitchen.

[@Checkmate1138]

13:16 Are we really all that obsessed with laundry and dryers? I don't think so, at least from my own perspective. I just treat the laundry room as just a separate room, as a closet or the bathroom is a separate room. I would think, for instance, that it would be silly to have the toilet in the kitchen. Unless perhaps I didn't get your meaning in the video? What did you mean by the comparison of British and Americans when it came to laundry and, I suppose also, dryers?

[@Gh0stClown]

This video had a perfect amount of nice doggos and nice cattos.

[@Hudson316]

The two celebrity Bake Off shows (the comedian one and the sports one) are great. I've seen all of those, but never seen an episode of the normal show :P

[@melissaperkins2182]

So glad you’re feeling better! 😊 also I hope you had a wonderful Christmas & have a happy new year!

[@JanPospisilArt]

"Thick, thick chocolate action at the bottom."

[@Grue_bait]

"The perfect hot chocolate is, you put the powder mwaaa mwaa mwaa (the rest sounds like adults in a Charlie Brown movie)"

[@MrSJPowell]

Glad you're back to the land of the living! Being sick on the holidays is miserable. I'm glad it doesn't seem to be spreading to the rest of the family.

[@chipmunkk]

That Dodger POV makes everything look so tall :)

[@TechGamer45]

Nice full set you have there Sam...

[@Actual_Mr_G]

I can relate to sugary beverages. I put 5 teaspoons of sugar in my tea ...

[@JimPlaysGames]

godoyin have you tried another sweetener? That much sugar is pretty unhealthy

[@Actual_Mr_G]

If I have to die of something, let it be because if something I enjoy

[@JimPlaysGames]

Sure, but it might be worth trying an equally tasty and not deadly alternative.

[@FiorinaArtworks]

XD 8:00 can relate, Beauty and the Beast will be a chore to watch for me too. I've been delaying it for so long. I didn't like the animated version, and I heard the live action turned out crappy, but I want to see what Emma's been up to.

[@kenstorm707]

1:54 *OCD intensifies* Also, Thomas is LIT. Forever lit.

[@daze6209]

everyone was scrutinizing me on twitter for making my hot chocolate with water. i'm so glad the thorne family backs me up on this they know what's up.

[@JaquesBobè]

SHE'S ALIVE!

[@railfan711]

I've never heard a dog make sounds like that.

[@DagobertX2]

Inb4 Dodger Hot Chocolate Co. :)

[@FiorinaArtworks]

Yes please.

[@AngelavengerL]

So many kitties 😍 Hope you recover fast and have great holiday with Sam's fam.

[@88andrievs88]

Aunt dodger seems like terrifying and wonderful thing... :D

[@HellsKawaiiAngel]

Dodger I am so so happy to see you uploading here again ❤️✨ I've really missed your KZbin channel with the butt-touching otome game playthroughs and box talk and just seeing your beautiful face man ;^)))) - I'll always be supporting you and watching the vods you put up of your streams (time zones are a butt), and I just wanted to say that I truly wish you and Sam all the happiness in the world ❤️🌚✨

[@HellsKawaiiAngel]

I don't think my words are even enough to express how happy I am LOL you're just all so lovely ❤️✨

[@leonthesleepy]

are you really alive? How can you know for sure?

[@retroryguy2821]

I am really in love with nelly's noises. Im glad you are feeling better dodger :)

[@Kimmyfuzzygogglepage]

Retro RyGuy that and Sam’s other dog past a away a week and a half away? So she misses him also

[@CDMudd]

Wow, what is wrong with that dog?! Nelly, I think. So vocal, so stressed!

[@PressHeartToContinue]

Chris Mudd their other dog Bruce passed away a week or so ago. She’s always had another dog around and has been very lonely and needy since he died but she’s very loved and we snuggle her a bunch

[@Dethmeister]

My sister had a dachshund that would get so excited she'd roll over onto her back and pee herself. The dog, not my sister.

[@dharma_donk170]

"punched in the d***" Ah yes brotherly love xD

[@Frellyouall]

Hope that moment was on stream and gets uploaded on KZbin.

[@ChlosterSays]

When I make hot chocolate, I use all hot water. I'm not a fan of milk to begin with, so it works better for me. Every time Nelly whined I just wanted to reach through the screen and hug her. Glad you're feeling better and actually getting to spend time with the family!

[@Kimmyfuzzygogglepage]

ChlosterSays sams other dog passes away last week , so she misses him and also dodger is lactose intolerant so she can’t really have milk in a sense

[@BAWbunny]

Aww Nelly is such a cute dog,my dog does the same wierd noises as her when someone leaves the house sometimes,or if she knows someone is about to come home

[@Kimmyfuzzygogglepage]

B.A.W. Bunny that and Sam’s other dog past a away a week and a half away? So she misses him also

[@calenhad999]

Glad to hear you are doing better! Thank you for an amazing (long!) vlogmas!

[@Vilis_Farthuk]

Yay, recovery 100%! Enjoy the rest of Jolly ol' England. Oh, and check out The Queen's Christmas Address if you haven't already.

[@Sondevai]

It ended way to soon... :( Looking forward to the next one.. :) Happy New year..

[@stephlogan9259]

What did you think of the Greatest Showman ? Hope you and Sam and your family had a lovely and cheerful Christmas. Thank you for the vlogs also 😊 xxx
