[@ej5510]

it's almost like he's copying him, zero originality and zero jokes have gone unrepeated

[@holliswoods]

this could possibly be said about every one of his videos tbh XD

[@cryptidan]

you’re partially responsible for why i picked daniel as my name when i started to socially transition as a transgender man. i watched your videos with friends for most of my teen years, and they started to call me dan because of it. it stuck! now i’m about the same age you were when i started watching your content, and i’m legally changing it in the next year or so. (i don’t think you’ll see this, it’ll probably get lost. but i wanted to share anyway because i think it’s cool at least)

[@Shadamyfan-rs8xc]

Aww

[@prince_damien_of_darkness]

As a fellow trans man who named themselves after a youtuber, I feel you. Also hope your transition goes smoothly!

[@semiformaldehyde]

i also picked my name partially bc of dani snot on fire here! hi name twin!

[@punkithecat]

As fellow trans man that's awesome, I didn't choose that name for myself but Dan and Phil really got my spirits up back when I was 15 going through stuff so it's nice to see how there's others that have a similar connection to their content ❤️❤️

[@emilybrackpool1535]

Seeing Daniel not become a sell-out or leave the internet forever gives me a SINGLE ray of hope that this isn't infact the worst timeline.

[@ej5510]

Emily, get your eyes lasered for better sight xxx

[@unzippedskin]

no it’s the time knife.

[@WishGender]

Phil does tons of sponsors and he’s no sellout

[@dylanburton4955]

Dan and Phil never sold out so it shouldn’t be a surprise tbh

I've only known Bird for five minutes but they are the best guest that has ever been or will ever be on Dystopia Daily, what an icon, what a blep

[@osunale]

Could not agree more. Bird is complete perfection and I hope we get to see them again.

[@IntoTheWoods.]

I think maybe Dan stressed too much about video ideas and having them be ‘perfect’, but instead I think these kinds of videos are perfect. It’s a fcked up world at the moment and you perfectly reflect the chaotic, humble, honest, morbid, yet fun, random and real energy I feel but can’t put into words. We’re a community again🤣You’re doing great sweetie please keep doing the series x

[@puppykitten1557]

The fact that PJ is on the credits and worked with Dan on this... my heart melts to know y'all are still friends.

[@jessiejamel]

PJ's girlfriend Sophie is also the producer!

[@lauraanderson8785]

Aww!

[@No-ps2zf]

PJ is so creatively gifted and my heart breaks whenever I think of how underrated he has always been on KZbin. I think he particularly shines working behind the scenes, though. I hope he's happy about it

Petition for Bird to be a recurring guest

[@sarah.2968]

Dan “reviewing” rooms (read: passive aggressively returning years of judgment back to his fans) is a segment I didn’t actually realise I needed in my life. By all means, continue.

[@ethanjane2951]

Dan reviewing peoples bedrooms is just him hinting at the fact that the real reason he went on a 3-year hiatus was to become an interior designer

I wasn’t expecting that Dan’s return would be the adult centred epilogue to DINOF but I’m honestly so happy to be back! I’ve missed the dan-isms that now feel much more authentic and I love the format. It’s also like a class reunion where only the weird (and interesting) kids are invited. To all of you who like me spent your teens on this channel and were emerging into your twenties when Dan stopped uploading, I’ve missed you all and hope you’re recovering from having no friends in school :)

don’t leave us after the tour, dan. stay forever.

[@zampettedainsetto]

You know as well as we do that there is no "ending" the tour anyway, Dan. You may believe you have left it physically, but it only takes the tiniest little glitch in the fabric of reality, looking away from one spot just a little too fast, lingering in the same place just a little too long. Then, you will feel it. The tour never really left. It was just walking towards you while you were foolishly resting, unaware of its coming. Its black void slowly engulfing your senses, your eyes, your mouth, until there is no going back. You have become the tour. And when you realize that you're stuck here forever, you will n e v e r w a n t t o l e a v e . :)
