Phil Lester and Dan Howell are 2 successful Youtube and Radio 1 personalities who live in the same apartment as best friends. (*COUGH* I ship them a little.) Dan is 22 and Phil is 27, however to me, Dan acts more like the 'older brother' to his viewers, giving them advice on how to live and about his embarrassing past experiences which he tells us not to do, whereas Phil is more of the 'manchild' as he's called by some of his fans, specifically on tumblr. He likes to do more youtube challenges, such as the 7 second challenge which he made up himself. (SMALL USELESS FACT: The 7 second challenge was actually meant to be his own thing on his channel that he would do with multiple other youtubers, but other youtubers started doing it, which turned it into a youtube challenge.) He has also done the Krave challenge, which Dan has also done. Dan swears more than Phil. Both of them like to talk about stuff they did in the past, such as 'Reasons Why I Was A Weird Kid' made by Phil (the title is pretty self explanatory), and 'The Panic Alarm' made by Dan, which is an embarrassing story from when he used to work at a store. (It rhymes with schmazda.)
Although these people are separate youtubers, people often see them as one.
On tumblr, a lot of their fans like to 'ship' them together. (I'll talk about shipping in another post.) To sum it up in a nutshell, this means that they like the idea of them being in a relationship. Their ship name is Phan. (because Phil + Dan = Phan.)
Dan has 3,460,000 subscribers to his youtube channel, whereas Phil only has 1,720,000. This is sad - Phil is awesome at film editing and he's just as funny as Dan. (In my opinion.)

How they met:
Phil had started making videos waaaay back in 2006 with an old black and white webcam. Then as he progressively got better, Dan found him on the internet. He was a fan of Phil. He would tweet him often, and Phil noticed these tweets, so he asked Dan if he wanted his skype because he liked Dan. They would talk for about 4 hours almost every day, then decided to meet up in London. Then they started making videos together, then got a flat in Manchester together. They started gaining subscribers, and when they were ready, they moved into a flat in London, which is where they live now. They are now verified youtubers and make videos today. :D
Here are some of my favourite videos from them. Dan swears, so viewer discretion is advised. ^.^
'The 7 second challenge' by Amazingphil.
'How Not To Survive School' by danisnotonfire.
'How To Make Christmas Cookies!' By both of them. (On Amazingphil's channel)
These are, by far, my favourite youtubers. I love every single one of their videos. ^.^
Have any other suggestions for posts? Leave them in the comments below. Also tell me what you think of Dan and Phil. :D
