Dan Howell and Phil Lester (also known as Danisnotonfire and AmazingPhil) have a friendship that many envy. These two British lads partake in a number of activities together, from traveling the world together to running a collaborative Youtube gaming channel. Here are 10 reasons why they’re truly (hashtag) friendship goals.
1) They stand up for each other.
At a Vidcon panel there was a spur of conversation between the Youtube panelists. Dan sat back and had an observational role until he noticed that Phil was repeatedly being talked over. He then interjected to pause the flow of conversation to allow Phil a chance to speak.
2) Their fashion aesthetic compliment each other.
Dan dresses as if he’s the brother of the Grim Reaper while Phil’s wardrobe is drenched in a multitude of shades and nebulas. Combined, their closets contain every color and shade possible.
3) They go great lengths for each other.
For those who don’t know, humidity levels of Hong Kong are currently around 70%. While in humid nation, Phil was bedridden and required medicine. Dan took it upon himself to get medication despite the regeneration of the curls of his Hobbit hair. He got moist for his best friend. Not everyone will go through such extreme weather conditions for a friend.
4) They are honest with each other.
They published published roommate reviews for each other for millions of readers. Who can say they're that open?
5) They are close enough to know each other's pet peeves.
After an argument left Dan feeling haughty, Phil strolled back into the room with a video entitled “Hello Internet” playing on a laptop. The video is Dan’s first Youtube video that constantly causes him to cringe to the depths of Earth.
6) They watch out for each other.
As self-dictating social recluses, they generally leave their cozy niche in London only for tours, conventions, or videos. For example, they made sure neither of them walked in front of a car while on a trip to catch creatures from an augmented reality mobile game.
7) They have been on endless adventures together.
In 2015 the world saw the publication of their collaborative book entitled The Amazing Book Is Not on Fire. In 2016 they toured three continents (North America, Asia, and Australia) to promote their book and meet their fans. There are few places in the world that they haven't been to together.
8) They impart wisdom upon each other.
While in Asia, Dan helped Phil regain the chopstick skills that he lost in pancake filled London.
9) They take risks together.
The three-legged Dance Dance Revolution challenge they took part in on their gaming channel perfectly demonstrates the dangerous and terrible risks.
10) They had articles written about them.
