The Sims 4

• General:
  • The Running Gag of Dil's clumsiness and Dan and Phil's regret for making that a trait of his.
  • Phil calling Dil a "lazy oaf" when he's sleeping in.
  • The porcelain pig sculpture they buy for Dil at the beginning of the series, which becomes a frequent note of interest in relation to the rest of the scene.
  • Dan and Phil keep forgetting to turn off Dil's radio, leading to high bills and nearly-lethal repair attempts.
  • Ever since getting the panda suit at Granite Falls, Dil tends to change into it after bathing.
  • Tabitha's tendency to make microwave pastries for herself, to the point that it's almost the only food she eats.
  • The Running Gag of the transformation of the day causing a fire, especially when they specifically say they hope it doesn't.
  • Their constant bickering over the most mundane details during house renovations, and Dan's perpetual obsession with symmetry and frustration when the wall lengths mess it up.
  • On a similar note, there's Dan's frustrations with the grid not usually accommodating symmetrical placements - emphasized by his signature screeches.

Season 1

Episodes 1- 15 ("Meet Dil Howlter")

• In the first epsiode, creating Dil, there's a lot of messing around with the options, and because of the portmanteau name they give to their Sim, Dan remarks upon Dil's creation: "What an awful name."
• The second episode, in which they design Dil's house:
  • Phil tells Dan to place the bathroom near the bedroom so Dil won't have to pee in the sink, like someone he knew at university. Dan is confused, for a moment thinking that Sims can actually do that, and questions Phil's assertions that it wasn't him.
  • When looking at the most expensive bedroom option, Phil says "I would make so many babies in that." Dan responds with a weirded-out "Dude".
  • When Phil is scrolling over the rooms, Dan questions why they would need a kid's room. Phil suggests that Dil might have a baby or kidnap a baby. Funnier in hindsight, because Phil didn't know just how true the former would become.
  • When trying to choose a front door, Dan doesn't realize that his choice is a door for a public toilet.
  • Phil gets weirdly appreciative about the pleasing window arrangement, saying they are "sexy" and that he would "rub himself" on them. Dan threatens to report Phil to "the window police."
  • Dan and Phil's utter cluelessness about roofing leads to the house being dominated by a long "owl slide" roof.
• In episode 4, Dan and Phil's hopes to start a romance between Dil and Erica Pendleton are completely dashed when everything Dil tries is nastily shot down. Dan and Phil then decide to solidify their enmity by "taking it inside" and making them brawl in the local club.
• In episode 5, Phil makes a secret-eating confession, revealing that he's eaten chocolate sprinkles, and only chocolate sprinkles, as a snack.
• In episode 6:
  • Dan and Phil spend too much time objectifying the porcelain pig's rear, musing on whether it's grown and how the pig looks like it's showing off.
  • Dil gets multiple bouts of a flirty mood from a steamy shower and cookies made in that mood, which makes Dan and Phil uncomfortable - especially due to his rather... lascivious emotion posture.
  • When debating whether to invite Erica for the drama, Phil mentions that a heated-enough argument can anger a Sim to death, speaking in concern for Dil. Dan, however, says he'd love to kill Erica by saying her mother looks like a llama.
  • Dil has a conversation with someone who loads out of town (which looks like teleportation to another dimension), leaving him talking while nobody is actually there to hear him.
  • Later, after a house party, Summer uses his toilet and leaves a "steaming dump" behind. Of course, naturally, in the totally normal thing to do, Dil walks right into the bathroom and hops on the smelly toilet in front of Summer and starts flirting with her. It actually works this time, and Dan thinks they've found a fetish of hers.
• Episode 7:
  • Phil calls one of the gym's exercise machines the "man-boobs press".
  • Dan and Phil note Dil talking to another patron of the gym, and mouse over her to find her name is Mollie Bustos. Reading her name with an "uh' sound for the "u", Dan quickly notes due to her figure that she "has the bustos" to make her worthy of the name. In a later episode (10), Phil recognizes her from her sizable bosoms, and, having forgotten her name, calls her "Boobie McGee".
• Before episode 8, Dan and Phil learned that prospective girlfriend Eliza is actually married and this soon causes her to reject Dil as a romantic interest. From then on, Dil continues to have an awkward friendship with her and her husband, including going on a camping trip together.
• Episode 10: Phil decides to have Dil confess his feelings to the very married Eliza against Dan's warnings, which goes very badly. This results in Dil hiding under his covers in embarrassment. Dan and Phil both feel bad for him, and Phil says he feels like this is all his fault.
  Dan: [thoroughly unsympathetic] It's completely your fault.
• In episode 14, bugs keep on affecting the gameplay, with the shower spontaneously turning on and Dil exiting it without using it, and Dil's first painting, "Melapples", instantly vanishing the second Dan and Phil try to hang it proudly on the wall.
• In episode 15, "Dil Has a Stalker", Dan and Phil are trying to have Dil go about his daily routine and Eliza keeps showing up randomly. Dan's increasingly loud screams of "What are you doing?!" every time she shows up is just priceless.
  • There's also a brief moment where, in regard to Dil's food, Dan and Phil begin muttering "Canadian bacon" in increasingly distorted ways. Dan quickly makes the acknowledgement "we're weird" at the end.

Episodes 16- 29 ("Dil and Tabitha")

• When Dan and Phil are discussing Dil's new relationship in episode 17, Dan says that Tabitha, as a girlfriend, is something to "maintain", and Phil questions the phrasing, saying such wording would make more sense for a garden. Dan completely ruins it by continuing on that thought, saying that Tabitha is metaphorically a "lightly trimmed garden". He instantly regrets the implication.
• The camping trip episodes (18 and 19) are pretty funny.
  • First, there's Dan and Phil's decision to set up a trip with Dil and Tabitha and also the Pancakes couple, making for an awkward gathering.
  • Bob Pancakes keeps hogging the horseshoes game, and snaps at anyone attempting to join.
  • Tabitha gets loaded out of the camping trip, and won't come back, but the next episode has her seeming to have never left, revealing her absence was a glitch.
  • The camping trip is made awkward because the two couples are spending more time with the other's dates. Dan gets frustrated by the disregard for their plan to have a romantic getaway, exclaiming, "Guys, this is supposed to be a double-date camping trip, not Wife Swap!"
• In episode 20, celebrating Dil's (really, the series') birthday:
  • Dan and Phil are wearing party hats and have decorated their gaming room for a birthday party. Yes, really. Dan notes how ridiculous it is given that the man of honor is a Sim.
  • Then, the decorations truly backfire when a yellow balloon they've stuck to their sofa pops in the middle of the video, scaring Dan, Phil, and the audience. Dan says he won't put a jumpscare warning in the video description because it would be so much funnier to put the audience through the same surprise.
  • Mia Yang failing to cater for Dil's birthday party, and becoming a punchline thereafter.
• Episode 21 involves throwing a Halloween party - which entails strange costumes and even stranger happenings.
  • A persistent gag throughout this installment is Phil's fascination with a small pumpkin he has brought along in order to match the theme, even going so far as to declare that his costume is "man holding a pumpkin."
  • "Oh my god, I should have never questioned the sock master!"
  • "Life has no undo button!" "Don't sell your chairs by mistake!"
  • Phil decides to improvise a song as Dil makes French toast:
    Phil [to the tune of "My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark"]: Brunch it up-up-up, brunch it up-up-up, brunch it up-up-up, with French toooaaast!
    Dan: ...everybody is ashamed of you.
  • Dan theorizes about what a "spooky shower" would be like as a game option, remarking that it involves rubbing a pumpkin on yourself. Of course, Phil decides to provide a demonstration of the same and squicks out Dan in the process.
  • Phil's second spontaneous song of the episode manages to creep out Dan. It helps that he delivers it in a resonant baritone.
    Phil [singing]: Spooooky shoooweerr, Dil rubs himself with a pumpkin, scrub-scrub-scrub - ack!
    Dan [a mix of slightly unsettled and amused]: You woke up in a strange mood today, didn't you?
  • And then Dil changes into the panda suit. Again.
• Episode 22 features a date with Tabitha, and some "Netflix and Dil".
  • Dan and Phil's reactions to Tabitha and Dil Woo-Hooing for the first time must be seen to be believed. Phil covers his eyes as he deems it inappropriate to witness the act, seeing as how he considers Dil to be his virtual son.
  • After the WooHoo, Dil falls asleep, but Tabitha instead spends the rest of the night texting, swimming in his pool, and dancing in front of his Christmas tree, leaving before he wakes up. This weirdness makes Dan and Phil certain that the two Sims are meant for each other.
  • Dan's exasperated reaction to Dil falling asleep immediately after the WooHoo is absolutely priceless.
  Dan: (Face Palm) Oh my God! Way to be a typical guy, Dil!
• In episode 23, Dan and Phil find out some new things about Tabitha, including that her sleepwear includes sunglasses, her fishing hobby is so passionate she's reached level 4 skill, and that she's living with her ex-husband.
  • This conversation after finding out about said ex.
  Phil: She's living with her... husband? What? Or — or brother^note Tabitha is white, he's black .. Maybe it's her brother. She's not married.
  Dan: ...He's BLACK!
• In episode 24 Dan and Phil control Tabitha only, and the whole experience is truly bizarre, due to Tabitha's as-yet-unknown childish trait creating some funny scenes alongside the game's usual strangeness.
  • Tabitha goes on a shopping spree, getting a guitar and a toy triceratops, and starts playing with the dino figurine in the middle of the street.
  • Tabitha goes shopping for clothes and dances with a mannequin. (Okay, technically, she dances next to the mannequin and the option just popped up while she was standing there.)
  • Then, to help with her new instrument, she hires a guitar player who ignores her and plays to the wall.
  • And then Summer comes over to the house, where Dil is so tired he collapses and then goes to bed, Summer is left awkwardly hanging out, and the guitar player is still there facing the wall.
• Episode 26 isn't any better. Dan and Phil are ready to use the new spa expansion pack, but a house fire and Tabitha's alien abduction derail the day completely.
  • The episode opens with Phil accidentally hitting his arm on the table, to which Dan decides to make a particularly loud joke.
    Dan: Funny bone? More like the AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
  • Dan and Phil's initial reactions to the abduction are hilarious. They sit in Stunned Silence before a couple seconds, before Dan starts guffawing out of sheer amazement, and Phil admits that, even with his extensive Sims experience, this has never happened before.
• In Episode 27, a relaxing spa day still offers room for weirdness.
  • In the back row of the yoga class, Tabitha can be seen struggling several times.
  • When Phil keeps dubbing every yoga pose "downward dog", Dan decides to intervene with his own interpretation. The pose features the Sim leaning back, butt in the air, hands reaching to their upward legs, so Dan imagines the instruction would be to "blossom your anus", which makes Phil laugh in confusion.
  • When Tabitha takes an oatmeal-soak bath, Phil almost makes a frightening slip to say "drown her" before quickly correcting, saying "Don't drown her in the oatmeal."
  • Dil's inappropriate tendency to change into the panda suit reaches its peak here, donning it multiple times, including right before a WooHoo in the sauna, and even receiving a hand massage while in the thick-pawed suit, looking like an absolute lunatic next to his girlfriend.
• When Dil takes Tabitha out to dinner in episode 28 to propose to her, he's wearing a nice jacket and an ascot...and no trousers. What's more, the only food served during the date is the dessert. Capping it off, when Dil and Tabitha WooHoo for the first time after getting engaged, Dan snarks, "God is now slightly more happy that this is happening."
• Episode 29 is the Howlter wedding, and it couldn't have been a Howlter wedding without some laughs.
  • Both Summer and Zion, a guy from the spa, texting Dil and Tabitha for dates right before they're about to get married.
  • When Tabitha and Dil get married, a fish jumps out of the water. Phil voices it by shrilly calling out "Marry me, Tabitha!" before deciding he went too far.
  • Erica refuses to attend Dil's wedding...but then shows up anyway, perhaps deciding that attendance would be more spiteful. Heartwarmingly, it could also be because Tabitha is somehow friends with her and she decided to support the bride.
  • Mia Yang yet again fails to cater, but fortunately another chef is there. When Mia celebrates the couple cutting their cake, Dan gets annoyed with her for rejoicing because she contributed nothing, much less the cake itself.
  • When Dil and Tabitha have their first married WooHoo, Dan imagines Dil asking "Wouldst you let me rummage you on this beautiful night?" He then comments "And now God doesn't hate them because they're married! Yayyy, society..."

Episodes 30- 48 ("Howlter Family Life")

• Dil and Tabitha's honeymoon in episode 30 is the funniest episode yet.
  • The day opens with the revelation that Dil wet the bed on their Woo-Hoo filled wedding night.
  • Eliza still won't leave Dil alone; she texts him with an offer to go out to breakfast.
  • When they travel to the next town, Dil was in the process of cleaning the dishes. This means that he's still holding one when they travel, and so he dutifully discards the food in a nearby trash can and washes the plate in the park's bathroom.
  • Phil innocently asking if there's any way to interact with a [very phallic] cactus. Given its rather suggestive shape, Dan is very grateful that there isn't.
  • Oasis Springs turns out to be the most passive-aggressive place in the world, with a debacle about getting Dil and Tabitha to sit together at the bar, various entertainers preventing Dil from getting a chance at open-mic night (even playing their instruments over him when he's onstage, and a stranger hanging around during an otherwise romantic moment on a balcony.
  • While Dil is onstage, Dan and Phil have Tabitha heckle her new husband. He actually gets upset.
  • Finally, Dil and Tabitha pull a Goldilocks gambit by breaking into the Landgraabs' house to Woo-Hoo, because it's no honeymoon if you go home the first night. They fall asleep afterward and are caught and ordered to leave.
• Episode 34:
  • Dan and Phil pick some interesting new outfits for Dil and Tabitha. Dil goes for a pink cropped tank and short shorts, making him look a little camp at the least and definitely not like a dad, and Dan and Phil give Tabitha a "Twilight fan" outfit with glasses and a "Two Wolf Moon" shirt. They actually work really well for the characters' personalities, and Dan unironically marvels at their coolness.
  • While picking outfits, they're briefly haunted by a Can Your Pet?-style graphic on one of the shirts. Dan even takes on a Thousand-Yard Stare for a few moments.
  • Tabitha playing gleefully with her son's giant plush dino toy...which turns out to be sentient, to Dan and Phil's horror. Dan jokes that Tabitha has given more kisses to the toy than to her husband.
  • Tabitha is abducted by aliens for the third time!
    • The first time it happens, Dan and Phil are stunned and don't know what to do. This time, they're exasperated and don't even bat an eye, simply waiting in boredom for her to come back.
  • Dan and Phil's combined Cuteness Overload at the sight of toddler Dab gets rather... empathetic, to say the least. Not to mention the fact that they spend a good few minutes in awe of his luscious mane of hair.
    Phil [watching Dab get into bed]: Goodnight!
    Dan: Oh my god. I'm dying. Punch me. Fucking punch me - [Phil complies.] - in the fucking head. Right now.
    Phil: Aww, that's so cute.
    [Dan makes a sound that can approximately be equaled to a pterodactyl screech.]
• In episode 35:
  • Dan and Phil continue to be creeped out by the sentient toys, which they now realize blink and change expression.
  • Dan and Phil are alarmed by a complete stranger walking to Dil's house while thinking about Dab, who has never met anybody from outside the house onscreen . They're worried about possible child theft and send her away.
  • Dan and Phil observe two coworkers at the lab using the same website. Dan assumes it's a dating site and that they've been unwittingly catfishing each other from across the room.
  • Things turn chaotic when they get the Sim Ray (named SusanRay despite Dan's protest)- they freeze Dil's coworker Emiliano, and start transforming things in their house for fun. Phil's a bit trigger-happy, to say the least. Of particular note is Dan's imitation of a presumably-very-exasperated Emiliano, who happened to be the one who lent Dil the metals necessary for the completion of the Sim Ray.
  Dan [sputtering in incredulous imitation]: "WHAT THE FUCK - I give you the materials and you do THIS?! Are you FUCKING kidding me??!"
• In episode 36, this continues when they go over to the Pancakes house and transform their belongings as revenge for Eliza's stalking. It ends with them accidentally setting the Pancakes' bed on fire instead of transforming it, and they are forced to leave.
  • The hilarity commences from the description itself, which notes that "Phil goes mad with power."
  • Even before the mayhem begins, there's toddler Dab's sassy mockery of his nanny, fueled by hunger-induced anger. He still retains his playful moodlets after repeatedly insulting her and nearly firing her.
  • "SCREW YOU, BOB!!!"
  • The duo's hooting laughter as they realize that, post-rampage, Dil's marching into the Pancakes' kitchen to make spaghetti while Eliza sobs out on the patio.
  • "She still likes him. Just a little bit." "Well, she's got issues."
  • Phil has a bit of a My God, What Have I Done? moment in the conclusion.
    Phil [pensive and shaken]: I... feel like that was a mistake... and the power got to my brain... and I'm not going to do that again...
    [Dan gives him a suspicious look.]
    Phil: ...and we should be nice to Eliza in the future.
    Dan: You're a bad influence, Phil.
• Episode 37 starts normal enough— Dan and Phil just take brief control of the Pancakes' lives to replace their bed. But one thing leads to another, and the Pancakeses Woo-Hoo, getting Eliza pregnant. Meanwhile, Dab and Tabitha both come home absolutely filthy, and when a meetup party between the two kids is arranged it's not as planned. First Dab gets left behind on the street, and when sent to retrieve him, Tabitha suddenly dons her sports (fairy) outfit and runs right past him, and the two toddlers' encounter is uncomfortable, especially when Dab just leaves.
• Episode 38 has a brief moment where Dan and Phil notice that Tabitha is having a bad relationship with sentient toy Drago.
  Phil: Oh my gosh, they're no longer friends!
  Dan: I'm honestly so concerned about the mother of Dil's child right now
• In episode 40, they plan an episode on the new bowling expansion, which is fine. Then things go their usual way.
  • Dab's one-time nanny (with whom he got along rather poorly) texting Dil to invite him out to lunch. Dab's hated nanny, who is also much older, asks Dil out to lunch!
  • While bowling, Tabitha accidentally flings herself into a faceplant when trying to let go of her ball.
  • Dan decides to mess up the uniformity of the bowling team by using the Sim Ray's mind control function to change them them out of their uniforms. Then he angers one of the team by freezing a fellow member, so he decides to freeze everyone at the bowling alley to solve the problem.
  • The kicker comes at the end of the episode when they return home and Dil gets abducted! And when he returns, he doesn't even seem to be dazed. He's just excited about the alien technology!
  • Let's also not forget that, according to the Sims wiki, male Sims have a chance of becoming pregnant from being abducted. The comments were filled with people pointing out what Dan and Phil could be dealing with in the next episode.
    • Someone pointed this out to Dan on Twitter, whose only response was a horrified, "what".
• In Episode 41, Dil is indeed pregnant, but Dan tries to deny it for as long as possible. Other notable moments include Dab firing the cleaning lady and Evan well overstaying his welcome by coming over for a simple play date but hanging around late into the evening.
  • Dan's reaction to Dil's pregnancy reeks of Where Did We Go Wrong?.
  • When Dan and Phil do their transformation of the day, they accidentally light a fire. Also, Dil and Tabitha can't do anything due to the fire. They can't even call the fire fighters.
  • At the end of the episode, Dan and Phil make damn sure that an abduction isn't going to happen again, using their satellite to prevent it.
• In episode 42, Baby Dalien is born, with Tabitha displaying the same pre-parental panic as Dan and Phil. They get their final surprise at the end of the episode, however, when they learn that Dil can breastfeed his alien son.
• When redesigning Dil's house in episode 43 to make room for Dalien, Dan and Phil extend the walls into the backyard, and along with it, they extend the "owl slide" roof backwards as well. What they didn't know is that the height and length are linked, and as they dragged the incline back horizontally, it also got stretched vertically. They have a wonderful Oh, Crap! reaction to this.
• In episode 44:
  • Dan and Phil see Tabitha in a "Very Playful" mood, and her face in the icon for that mood looks absolutely demented.
  • Dalien teleports out of his high chair and clings to Dil, though he does not reciprocate the carry. A confused Dan remarks, "Let's play the game- 'Bug or Alien Feature'?"
  • Dan and Phil have Dab shout forbidden words, but his mother sitting right next to him doesn't react at all, too absorbed in the kids' show on TV.
• In episode 45, a trip to the city for Dil's birthday goes about as well as one would expect.
  • Dab and Evan meet a girl named Aanya at the museum, and Evan needs to use the restroom. Dan jokes that there's a connection and Phil says she is a "pee witch", and Dan appreciates this most recent of Phil's continually stellar outbursts.
  • Evan straight-up abandons the family outing and has to be invited back when the Howlters move on to the next location.
  • Phil tells about the first time he went to the city (Manchester) when he was finally allowed to go by himself at the age of 14. He says the first thing he bought was a cardboard cutout of his Celebrity Crush, Sarah Michelle Gellar (not a surprise), which made the bus ride home awkward.
  Dan: Iconic. The first time you ever went to town, you bought a cutout of your waifu.
  • Evan, a child, entering a stranger's house to take a bath, complete with face mask. To Evan's credit, he needed one, but what?
  • Dan and Phil discover that Dil and Tabitha can WooHoo in the control room of the park's telescope. Of course they click the option.
  • Dil decides to insult a high-tech toilet's AI for no reason, upon Dan and Phil discovering the interaction.
  • Dil and Tabitha taking many selfies, but the Sims are never standing in the right direction to get the background Dan and Phil wanted.
• Episode 46 is one big Squee-fest over the new dog.
  • While trying to name the dog, some considerations are rejected, including "Dildog", and failed combinations of Dan and Phil's hamsters, such as "Snuki" from Dan's hamster Suki and Phil's hamster Norris and "Phuki", from Suki and Phil's hamster Phoebe. They settle on "Nuki".
  • When creating Pancake Pancakes the cat, they realize they can give her a raccoon's voice, and never click off the option, assigning the raccoon voice to the final cat.
  • When learning that Nuki can become obsessed with certain objects, they pan over to the kitchen, where he's already started by regarding the fridge with wonder.
  • Dan's reactions to Nuki's pure adorableness are aggressive and violent denials of the feeling, which is much funnier than Phil's obviously melting heart.
• In episode 47, a visit to the pet-town expansion goes Howlter.
  • Dab tries to hang out with a group of teens and utterly horrifies one when Dan and Phil decide for him to shout curses at her.
  • After some time following Dil's interactions, Dan and Phil check back up on the kids, only to find Dab shouting more swears at something and Dalien making an absolute mess on the path to the vet, much to a passerby's chagrin.
  • While Dan tries to gently bring up the necessity to neuter Nuki, Phil bursts out with "snip, snip, bish!" Dan remarks that he ruined both Perry and the dog's innocence.
  • Dan is surprised by how happy Nuki seems after the neutering, and says he'd be up for that before Phil reminds him that the neutering was part of it.
  • Noting the "catbread" style hat, Dan says Nuki in it becomes a "literal idiot sandwich dog".
• In episode 48, ending Gamingmas 2017, Dan and Phil's reactions to the aged-up Dab are pretty funny, but the funniest moment has to be when they check up on Evan...and find out he's still in the club where they left him several episodes ago. Also, Dan and Phil decide that the very first thing teen Evan should do is to shout curse words, which in-universe could suggest that either he feels able to say them now that he's older, or he's just perplexed at his sudden growth.
  • Also this exchange:
  Dan: Any last words [before aging up]?
  Dalien: (loudly belches)
  Dan: Okay, I'm ready for him to be a child.
  • With Dab aged up, Dan and Phil discover that Dil wants to show off his muscles to Dab. As they watch, Dan mocks him for it.
  Dan: Yeah, go on, show off your muscles to your teenage son, Dil, you massive walking cringe-

Episodes 49- 54 ("The Kids' Teen Life")

• Episode 49 has some interesting moments:
  • Teen life for Dab and Evan turns out to be just as confusing as it is in reality, with Evan discovering Dalien's alien nature and Dan and Phil deciding Dab should try kissing his hands as a distraction. This complicates the potential relationship between them because Evan is put off by it, but Dan notes how unusual it was for the option to even be suggested at that moment, so the level of their interactions is as yet undetermined. There's also Dab being characterized as an angsty pretentious teen with a wild side, which is only aided by him randomly throwing himself under the covers and sleeping in the middle of the day.
  • Phil has a bout of weirdness so strong it risks being cut out of the video:
  Phil: I kind of wanna just sink my teeth into [Dalien’s] skin; it’s just that bubble gum color...
  Dan: We’ll have a private conversation when this is over about whether we’re editing that out.
  • Phil shares a story while they're redecorating Dab's room about how he used to have astrological wallpaper that made him really good at memorizing the zodiac signs. He asks for Dan's birthday (September 5) and guesses Sagittarius for the sign. They look it up, and he's wrong, as they learn that Sagittarius days are in late November through December.
• In episode 50, the plan to test Evan's feelings is interspersed with funny moments.
  • Phil doesn't wait to make things uncomfortable, speculating that after the fiasco of the previous day, Dab had a sexual dream about Evan. Dan doesn't even let him get to say the subject of the dream, cutting off his thought as quickly as possible.
  • Another fire started from the Sim Ray, instead of a transformation. This is after people were bothering Dan and Phil to get back on the Transformation of the Day after a lapse, too.
  • When Dalien gets a monster under his bed, Dan and Phil get Dab to spray it away...only for Dalien to take Dab's bed instead and force Dab to take his little brother's bed.
  • Dab gets agitated by a woman on the sidewalk doing some exercises and jumping on some trash^note Phil dubs her the "bin witch", and starts mocking her by doing the same.
  • When receiving Cuteness Overload from Pancake the kitten, Dan makes the mistake of reflexively singing the "one thicc bih" meme song in regard to Pancake, saying, per the format, "Show me your Pancakussy". Dan, realizing his mistake, saves face by hurriedly exclaiming "IT'S A CAT, IT'S FINE!"
  • When Dab goes over to Evan's house to hang out, Bob and Eliza start passionately making out in the other room, causing Dan to briefly zoom the camera out of the house.
  • While Dab and Evan cloudgaze, a man on the sidewalk ruins the moment by watching them.
  • When they get Evan to boast about messing around in an attempt to seem cool for Dab, Phil interprets a wide-armed gesture from him as being "and they were this big!", not realizing how weird it sounded until right after saying it.
  • Dab takes Pancake home to his house, and the cat upsets Nuki by sleeping in his bed.
• The Episode 51 has Dan and Phil sending Dab and Evan on a jungle adventure alone to explore nature and explore their feelings, and it has no shortage of funny moments.
  • Before the trip, their Transformation of the Day is of their Trevor Verily MySims trophy, which Phil cheerily prefaces with "Time to burn in hell!" Dan is surprised and Phil doesn't know where that came from.
  • Dan accidentally calls Dab "Dav", and says that it was probably his desire to say "Devan" emerging.
  • Dan cringing at the name of Puerto Llamante, annoyed that "2012 Dan" is being brought back to haunt him.
  • Dan and Phil telling Dab to cool down when his everpresent flirtatious options and moodlets pop up right as he and Evan arrive at the jungle.
  • At the cabin, Dab and Evan being Dab and Evan (dancing and reading, respectively) instead of interacting with each other.
  • When Dab and Evan watch the sky again, Dan refers to the scene as "cloud-gays".
  • When trying to find Dab a jungle outfit, Dan and Phil try out some very sexy options for him, before remembering practical insect protection.
  • Evan ends up randomly taking a shower just when Dan and Phil were going to send them off into the jungle, and Dan is so impatient, he denies Phil the opportunity to bring back Mirror Butt despite the bathroom's layout practically handing it to Phil.
  • Dab gets bitten by a capybara, and gets hit in the head with a branch while trying to shoo away the flies he agitated near some sloths.
  • When Dan sees a snake that Phil misses, Phil claims Dan has "snake-vision", and then points out that Taylor Swift probably does, too, given the imagery in reputation.
  • When Phil claims that Dan's adventuring has made him "Indiana Dab" and then sings the theme tune, Dan does a dab, ironically annoying Phil, who drove Dan crazy with dabbing during Gamingmas 2016, before he realizes the pun.
• Episode 52 continues the adventure.
  • Phil wastes no time in making things weird by quickly bringing up the candiru, a nasty parasitic fish, in concern about the waters of the ancient pool. Dan swiftly apologizes for Phil bringing penile violation into the video so soon.
  • When discussing Dab and Evan's breakfast of tofu dogs, Phil lets out the unfortunate "I'm more of a sausage in the evening kind of guy", and protests when Dan breaks down laughing at the unintentional entendre, arguing that there was nothing funny about it.
  • When they see a lizard on the wall of the jungle entrance, Phil suggests taking it home to crossbreed with Dab' pet frog. Dan then remarks that the idea he didn't say because he thought it would be too weird ("lick it") would have been perfectly normal next to Phil's idea.
  • Dan and Phil think Dab and Evan react to their first kiss a little too seriously when they feel steamy about a pretty light peck.
  • Phil decides to name the first totem in the temple "Mr. Bonanza", and then guesses that it opens the gateway not because of the puzzle being solved, but because of the "boy-kissing" it had witnessed. Dan withholds comment.
  • When Dab comes across a pile of human bones on the floor, Dan has him take them home in his inventory. Because collecting human remains is totally the normal thing to do.
  • When skeleton people show up and Phil asks if Dab can have children with them, Dan says that's not the plan for Dab. So Phil suggests that it could be the plan for Dalien, getting a skeleton partner to have skeleton/alien babies with.
  • Dab levels up his social skills (Charisma and Comedy) with a totem and a skeleton, respectively.
  • One of the skeletons starts playing her own hip bones as an instrument.
  • Dan and Phil consider their options for the berries they can use in order to put Dab in a specific mood to step onto the plate. When they notice the ones providing inspiration are named "museberries," Phil naturally takes the opportunity to make a rather strangely specific musical pun.
    Phil: Just have a chew on Matt Bellamy's face!
  • When the spirit of a temple mechanism startles Dab for getting the puzzle wrong, he pees himself in fear and can't clean up until he gets back to the camp.
  • And while Dab is showering, Evan walks in, which fulfills Dan's predictions that a weird thing will happen as usual at the end of the episode.
  • When it turns out the adventure has covered a school day, Dan shrugs it off, reasoning that the teens' impressive treasure haul is more than an excuse for missing a day of education.
• Episode 53 brings the teens back home with treasure for redecorating.
  • Dan and Phil respond to the barrage of comments asking them to finally take care of Pancake, whom Dan jokingly notes is "dead af" from lack of food. She is fed and aged up to calm down the audience.
  • Freeze-framing on Bob and Eliza looking ready to start "canoodling", with Bob's hand looking suspiciously close to "touching the boob".
  • When buying a high-tech litter box for Pancake, Dan sings that they don't give a crap about spending Bob's money on something so ridiculous. Phil chimes in to note that Pancake certainly will give a crap.
  • Dan insulting the Pancakes' house design and apologizing to "Mister Sims", the hypothetical game designer, which an amused Phil questions.
  • Dan guessing that with their luck, Pancake will age up into a dangerous big cat, saying that they'll end up with an "actual leopard".
  • Dan decides not to sell the bones Dab picked up at the temple, for no clear reason.
  • Dan getting the front of the house to be symmetrical at last... before his choice of window to be placed above the door in the middle doesn't fit the symmetry.
  • Dan and Phil pass Drago on to Dalien, and Phil creepily declares that the toy can now watch someone else sleep.
  • Dan and Phil constantly getting Camera Screw problems via the owl slide when trying to look into Dab's new second-floor room.
  • Despite creating a new room for Dab to enjoy his privacy, everyone in the Howlter family but Dil winds up walking in and making themselves at home.
  • Dab's overzealous interpretation of "revealing a crush" makes Evan, Dan, and Phil all uncomfortable.
  • Just when Dab and Evan are about to start "messing around", Tabitha walks upstairs and starts dancing to the music. Both teens lose interest pretty much immediately.
• In Episode 54, some assorted moments of randomness comprise the episode.
  • Phil worries about the cactus next to Dab's bed, imagining what would happen if he were to roll out of bed onto it.
  • The Transformation of the Day is done on a teddy bear lying on the floor. Tabitha is asleep, which Dan says is a good thing because witnessing Dil transforming a toy would likely be grounds for divorce in her mind.
  • Dan makes Dil water the plants at work, and Phil snarks that that's really the content fans wanted to see.
  • The Howlters still don't recognize Dab's new bedroom as a private space, so Dan takes action and builds a locked mini-hallway to the upstairs, at the unfortunate cost of Dab's floating stairs.
  • The Totecallama Death Relic turns out to summon a skeleton servant for Dab, and Dan and Phil have to come to terms with the fact that they now have a wisecracking bone nanny in the Howlter household.
  • Immediately after Dab and Evan become boyfriends, they take a selfie and Evan goes on the Internet, presumably to update his relationship status.
  • Dan's reaction to the teens "messing around" is a blank stare and then laughter as he takes in the scene.

Episodes 55- 59 ("Has Science Gone Too Far?")

• Episode 55:
  • Phil gets confused when Dan mentions that Dil's new outfit makes him "cyberpunk, Phil" (with a comma), as it sounded like Dan was misnaming the character as "Cyberpunk Phil".
  • Yet another fire is started by the Transformation of the Day, here, at the lab.
  • When the Sim Ray is upgraded to transform people and Dan and Phil target Dil's coworker Chad Yoder, Dan slips in a meme reference, saying "We're about to turn this Chad into a virgin."
  • When they turn the ray on Emiliano, Phil guesses the ray will leave him "the same, but with massive boobs". However, Emiliano looks no different, so Phil speculates "Maybe [the transformation's] all...under the clothes..."
  • After upgrading the Cloning Machine, they discuss who to clone. Phil suggests that if they cloned Eliza, "Bob could get the double-Pancake lovin'". Dan's reaction is about what you'd expect.
  Dan: That is the single worst sentence uttered by a human being in the hi-
  • Phil then considers the possibility of such an arrangement not counting as cheating since the clone is technically the same person.
  • Dan and Phil actually do clone Eliza, and create Erika Pancakes. They're disturbed by all the implications, and even more so by the fact that the game assigned her to the Howlter residence. Unsure what to do, they transfer her over to the Pancakes' at the end of the episode.
• Episode 56:
  • At the beginning, Phil greets the audience as "Dan and Phil Games Worms" because the second part of the episode's focus, wormholes, would sound dirty. Later, he says to touch wood that the experiment will go without disaster, so Dan naturally takes full advantage of the innuendo:
  Dan: Alright, keep your holes and your wood-touching to yourself.
  • Phil talking about his attempt at a pen pal, whom Dan assumes was a 78-year-old man named Gerald living in his basement because the service was available to kids through the TV.
  • The Transformation of the Day is just a boring old chair, making Dan try another one, and it becomes...a different chair, but fortunately one that matches Dil's decor.
  • Phil makes Dil shower in the rain, without realizing that this results in the Sim just standing naked in the open rain and scrubbing themselves, so Dil is showing off in front of the whole neighborhood. Then Dab walks out onto the scene, though fortunately his "go to school" script meant he didn't react before loading out. When Dan notes that it's a good thing a school bus hadn't driven by, Phil jokes that Episode 58 would be "DIL GOES TO PRISON", and Dan says that wouldn't surprise him.
  • The second Dil arrives at work, one of his coworkers, Christen, is fuming, so Dan immediately initiates a transformation on her to punish her for swearing in front of a superior.
  • Dil brings a buxom alien, Katlyn Pettit, through the wormhole, and Phil gets confused about her name, thinking it reads as "petite". When corrected by Dan, he comments that perhaps it makes sense as she doesn't have "petite tits" anyway. Dan wants to give his usual reaction to Phil's weirdness, but agrees that she's rather voluptuous. Phil then calls her cup size "double-ET".
  • Phil interprets Katlyn talking about cupcakes to be saying "Humans are cupcakes to me; let me eat your spleen!"
  • The end-of-work popup is especially ironic given what Dil had been doing. "Dil did a terrible job today. Let's hope that no extraterrestrials invaded the neighborhood." To this, Dan and Phil act shiftily innocent about it.
  • When they get the capability, Dan and Phil try to dispose of Erika Pancakes in space to correct their cosmic error, but they bring Eliza instead, and don't notice they've brought the wrong person until they return to Earth. Their slow realization is epic, with them checking the menus and realizing that Eliza is stuck on the alien planet until they can bring her back. And they decide to put that off for the next episode.
    • While on the alien planet, they decide to transform an item to leave behind as a mark of their visit. They end up with another chair, and it can't be altered or interacted with afterward.
• Episode 58
  • The episode starts with Dan and Phil resolving to rescue Eliza. When they check his work schedule and find out that he has to go to his job that day, Dan dismisses it, saying "This is work!"
  • In this episode where Dan and Phil have elected to age everybody up, a choice for Dab pops up regarding him wanting to be an adult. Dan notes that the parenting option of "you'll always be my baby" won't work out for very long, given the goal of the episode.
  • Dan's reaction to teen Dalien: "GET. HIM. AN INSTAGRAM. IMMEDIATELY!"
  • Dan and Phil notice Evan punching Drago in the background, which is given a stock punch sound, and admonish him for taking away from the focus.
  • When Dil blows out his candles, he misses the first time around.
  • The Transformation of the Day starts another fire.
  • Dalien being happy from the celebration, yet crying from the fire at the same time.
  • When they discover the first-person mode,one of the first things Dan and Phil try is to see what happens when a Sim WooHoos in first-person. They find that the game didn't account for this, and so they just see the character models lying under the sheets while the heart graphics float.

Episodes 59- 63 ("Dilmas")

• Episode 59:
  • Phil gets excited about the in-game snow (the first time they've seen it since the update), but acknowledges that Swedish people and the like are probably deeply unimpressed.
  • Once again, Evan waltzes right into a house to take a bath with a face mask, though it's a little less creepy because he's at the Howlters'.
  • Dab is not there for the snow, feeling tense and questioning why he would be out in a blizzard.
  • Dan and Phil groan when they find out that one of Dab and Evan's potential neighbors is an online celebrity.
  • When designing the bathroom, they find the toilet paper gets placed very high on the wall.
  • Dan and Phil attribute the supply Dab and Evan start with to their Lara Croft money.
  • When they go into first-person as Dab, he sits on the toilet to poop, giving them a great first view of the apartment through his eyes.
• Episode 60:
  • At the beginning, Dan and Phil have Dil destroy Evan's snowpal out of jealousy for taking his son away from him. When Dil sets to build his own, he gives up halfway.
• Episode 61:
  • Dan and Phil address that they forgot the Transformation of the Day, and look for an item to transform. When Dan sees the rooster sculpture, he makes it inappropriate by proposing that they transform the "giant cock", and Phil innocently protests with "I like the cock!" He doesn't notice until Dan points it out a few seconds later, and Phil regrets that he gave people a suspect audio clip that could easily be manipulated for the wrong context.
  • Evan goes to sleep in the middle of the Howlters' visit to the city apartment.
  • Dan and Phil notice that Dab and Evan can now WooHoo because they're adults, and Phil makes it sound really unappealing when saying "they should mark their territory on the bed". He meant to say something along the lines of "make the house/bed theirs".
  • Dan and Phil finally realize the downside to the giant windows in the apartment, when they zoom out of the building and can see the WooHoo going on from outside.
  Phil: The bigger the glass, the more as-
  Dan: The bigger the glass, the more ass? *laughs*
  • When looking at the acting career, the picture shows a Sim in a mascot suit, leading Dan to assume there's a furry career option.
  • Dab gives his mother a key to his apartment, but she quickly takes too much advantage of it and Dan and Phil make him revoke her key privileges.
  • Dab gets a makeover to shoot his first commercial. The first result gives him spiky blue hair, and the one they stick with is long blond hair. Right after Phil expresses excitement, Dan says he hates it.
  • Summer Holiday suddenly shows up again while Dab is hanging out, and Dan rubs in her face that Dab symbolizes everything she threw away with Dil.
  • Dan and Phil decide to try first-person mode while showering, and while everything's still pixelated from that view, they're still left very uncomfortable.
• Episode 62:
  • When Dan and Phil check up on the Howlter parents, Tabitha is talking to a sports game on TV and Dil is making hamburgers...at 4 AM. They conclude that without Dab, the family is falling apart.
  • While Dan wants Dil to retire, Phil wants to make sure they've fully explored the science career...or as he puts it...
  Phil: Have we fully milked everything that we can do as a scientist, like, have we squeezed the science juice out of those teats?
  Dan: First of all, stop.
  • When multiple parenting options pop up for Dalien, Phil complains. "He had his own episode, now he's a right diva!"
  • Dan wants to use the satellite dish a few last times, and they start by inciting a neighborhood dance party. For the next one, they consider the "Happy Town" effect...and then Dan clicks "Bladder Epidemic".
  • Because Phil remembered the cave in Oasis Springs that Dil needs level 10 Handiness to get into, they have a skill-building montage for him to level up, wherein he constructs a wooden toilet in the park and Tabitha digs through the trash.
• Episode 63:
  • Having achieved his dream of becoming a master mixologist, Dil won't stop making drinks.
  • After using Dil's new high-tech space shower, Tabitha emerges headless, and Dan and Phil frantically get her back in to restore her and try to forget about it as quickly as possible.
  • When learning that there is now a Sims Santa (Father Winter), Phil theorizes that instead of landing a sleigh on Dil's owl slide roof, he'd have to take off from it as a ramp instead.
  • Dil is stopped from running over across the street to build a snowpal on somebody else's yard.
  • Phil immediately questions if Sims can WooHoo with Father Winter, and when he arrives later, they're worried by some awkward animations that Dab went to kiss him under the mistletoe rather than Evan. Fortunately, they just weren't interacting properly.
  • Since Dan and Phil announced a hiatus for the gaming channel, they wanted to wrap up the playthrough thus far in a fairly satisfying yet open way...after Dan suggested to kill Dil in the last episode and end it that way (Phil vetoed that idea pretty harshly). While their plan succeeds and Dab and Evan get engaged to end the night, they're quickly upstaged by Dil getting abducted once again.

Season 2

Episode 1 Onward ("Starting a New Life")

• Episode 1:
  • Dan and Phil return to the Sims after 5 years, and quickly realize how much they've forgotten about the game, and how many expansion packs they've missed out on.
  • Realizing that they may have jumped the gun in regard to aging up Dil and Tabitha at the end of the previous episode, Dan and Phil decide to give the couple a new lease on life by aging them back down to adults. This is given a explanation to fit into the universe's canon via Dan in an alien Instagram filter communicating with Dil, offering to de-age him as thanks for raising Dalien.
  • Prefacing the age reversal is commentary from Dan about how making Dil an elder proposes the worrying possibility of him dying very soon after the revival.
  Dan: Because the last thing we did was age him up, we can play for about two more hours and then he'll die and the series is over. *sarcastic clapping* Great reboot, Dan and Phil-
  • Dil is revealed to be unemployed now, as a result of retiring when he was an elder.
  • Dan and Phil discuss their evolving tastes in interior design when surveying Dil's house, with Phil mentioning one item in his style is a fat squishy seal pillow. He then mentions an awkward moment where he was absently fidgeting with the seal by pushing into its body with his hand...with both Dan and Phil physically demonstrating on the toy that the action was in a location and motion that made it look exactly like Phil was fisting the toy seal when Dan walked in to see it.
  • Checking in with Dab and Evan, Evan turns out to be late for work, but Dan and Phil have the couple WooHoo first. Then Dan and Phil begin to question what kind of work Evan has been extremely late for, and crack up when they realize he's a medical intern probably costing patients their lives as a result of his delay!
  • Dalien starts literally radiating a sad, blue aura on account of his Gloomy trait. Seeing this, Dan and Phil immediately decide to redesign his look to make him an Emo Teen. The moment his makeover is complete, Dalien starts sobbing in an overwrought fashion, perfectly embodying the look.
  Dan: I love that a moodlet just went "I'm kinda sad right now", and we just went: (CLAP) My brother! Welcome to the Black Parade!
• Episode 2
  • Since the episode is set for the Howlters to vacate their iconic home, Phil jokes about the process of moving house involving burning the old residence to the ground, facetiously implying he had done so with his and Dan's old London apartment previously.
  • Phil once again gets trigger-happy with the Transformation of the Day after it leads to the first great transformation with one of the couches turning into a very expensive one. The third transformation they attempt, the microwave, starts a fire, and Phil regrets joking about burning the house down.
    • Nobody is very productive about the fire at all, and even the fireman who is called just stands there and stares, to which Dan dryly remakes "Tax dollars at work". Dan and Phil get anxious about the fire, until it vanishes and the fireman says it's been put out, while nobody did anything. The countertop and microwave are also undamaged.
  • Phil badgers Dan into letting them keep the porcelain pig in an uncomfortable phrasing.
  Phil: Do you really want to sell the pig? After all we've been through with that thicc hog?
  • Dan and Phil get into a veto-off when clearing house, with Dan vetoing Phil's desire to keep something and Phil then pulling out a counter-veto to get his way.
  • Dan and Phil are remorseless and eager about selling the microwave after the nightmare it just put them through.
  • The Howlters decide to pay one last visit to the Pancakeses before they move away.
    • Dan offhandedly jokes that the Howlters have landed the Pancakes family in the witness protection program after all they've been exposed to from associating with the family.
    • Of course, it's the middle of the night, so Eliza and Bob are trying to sleep, and then Dil completely botches everything by wetting himself on the Pancakes' couch because he failed to go to the bathroom in time.
    • Following this, Dil showers in the Pancakes house, and Erika Pancakes gets upset, calling it inappropriate and telling him to stop. Really, it's the only way the goodbye could have gone for them!
  • Dan and Phil muse on the bizarreness of the way they've done the move, as they've cleared out the house and then fully bulldozed the plot of land completely bare before discussing any details regarding a new place to live, so the Howlter family is just standing on the sidewalk, directionless. It's ultimately not too surprising, though, that the Howlters would be the kind of family to render themselves temporarily homeless via a shortsighted zeal for moving!
  • Dan and Phil finally find a town they like, Copperdale, and scope out house plots. The plot they like best has a house on it, but Dan sees the option to bulldoze it and boom, empty lot. He and Phil then hope they didn't just recklessly bulldoze an occupied property with no authority or regard for the consequences just to get their own house.
  • Dan and Phil see that the haunted house ride at the nearby Copperdale amusement park has a "WooHoo" option, and Phil prods Dan to set Dil and Tabitha to it as the episode finale. Dan asks Phil if he really wants Dil and Tabitha to celebrate their new home by having WooHoo in the haunted house ride, abandoning their son and dog to wander around in a lot, still lacking a house, while they do so. Phil notes that it wouldn't be a Dan and Phil Sims video without that kind of nonsense to end the video, and so they do. Phil remarks that the Sims must also be celebrating their regained youth, since they hadn't yet WooHooed post-deaging.
• Episode 3
  • At the start of the episode, Dan and Phil discuss how they've learned they didn't fully finish the process of moving out because they hadn't sold the property and changed their household settings, so Dil and Tabitha just bulldozed their property to the ground and abandoned it while also rendering themselves homeless and scouting new locations!
  • When Dan and Phil look for the options to move, they find one prompt saying "Make a Science Baby With:" and are unsettled to see that one of the options tabs on the menu indicates pets (though there are no options under this tab).
  • Dan and Phil nearly have Dil opt to "Split from Household and Move", i.e., abandon his family to live elsewhere before they find the "Move [entire] Household" option.
  • Dan and Phil also learned that they had demolished a rental property on the Hillside Haven lot, which they worry is illegal. They have to change the plot type to "residential".
  • The owl slide is gone, but Phil suggests the new idea—an owl ramp of two inward-facing slopes like a ridiculous half-pipe! Dan ridicules Phil's insistence that "it's modern", though he eventually gets on board. He starts laughing at what they did when surveying the house later on.
  • Phil uses the new owl ramp to segue into telling a viral owl joke, saying, per the setup,that someone called Dan an owl (and waits for Dan to ask "who" and complete the joke per the trick). Repeatedly, Dan fails to say "who" and Phil works so hard on the joke, rephrasing and reiterating the prompt multiple times, to the point where it seems like Dan might know the joke and is deliberately foiling it to mess with Phil, but that's not the case because he finally says "who" and breaks down at being caught in the joke and threatens to make Phil drink his lava lamp.
  • When seeking to light the interior of the new house, Dan begins to search for light fixtures before Phil just says "Windows", reminding Dan that natural lighting is a very useful way to illuminate a house.
  • Dan talks about how clumsy Phil is on the stairs, but Phil says it's not a huge issue.
  Phil: I used to fall down the stairs on purpose to impress my brother; I mean, it's a skill I've got—
  Dan: This explains so much.
• Episode 4:
  • Dalien is immediately embarrassed on his first day of school due to an unfortunate case of bad acne, and decides to have a cry in his locker to cope.
  • In a moment of classic teen awkwardness, Dalien opts to have his lunch in the principals office rather than the cafeteria, much to Dan and Phil's amusement.
  • While interacting with Cassandra Goth, Dalien chooses to "Share Melancholy Thoughts" with her, causing her to literally burst into tears.
• Episode 5
  • Dab and Evan invite Father Winter to their bachelor party, and Dab gets into a dance battle with him.
  • Dab and Evan's bachelor party is plagued by lots of inappropriate nudity. First, a guest strips off and walks outside to shower in the rain, then later, Dab and Evan skinny-dip in the pool and then neglect to get dressed again for the rest of the night. Nobody seems to mind, but it does result in Dab having a conversation with his future father-in-law while naked!
    • While Dab and Evan are skinny-dipping, Dab floats on his back, causing Dan to comment on him going "wang-up for God". Phil then expresses worry about lightning striking them and putting an abrupt horrible end to the series.
• Episode 6
  • Dan and Phil accompany Dab to work for his commercial shoot. To get more money, they have him perform an additional romance scene with the director...which involves making out with him. Phil uncomfortably asserts that it's just acting and that's all Evan needs to know.
  • For the wedding event, Dan and Phil give Dil a Pride-themed white suit with rainbow accents as a way to make him an awkward supportive dad for his gay son.
  • Some of the wedding pack's bugs seem to show up when the Sims' outfits aren't what was chosen for them or change during the event, but the crowner is Bob Pancakes abruptly changing from a flashy suit to a white wedding dress.
  • Evan runs away from the altar to finish lighting the fireplaces at the venue.
• Episode 7:
  • Right after opening the game, Dan and Phil are greeted either an advertisement for a Goth-inspired stuff pack, which Dan immediately buys without hesitation.
• Episode 8:
  • On day two of their honeymoon getaway, Dab and Evan opt to make some franks n beans for breakfast on someone else's vacation property, then spend most of the morning continuously farting.
  • Dil randomly shows up while Dab and Evan are having breakfast, leading Dan to theorize that he's jealous of all the attention his son and son-in-law are getting.
  • To close out the honeymoon trip, Dab and Evan WooHoo in the onsen's hotspring bath, in full view of the other patrons. Dan and Phil both conclude that they're never going to be allowed back to the resort ever again after this.
• Episode 9:
  • At the start of the video, Dan and Phil reveal that Dab and Evan's hotspring Woo Hoo antics got the previous episode fully demonitised because it was too raunchy.
  • Dil and Tabitha order some boba tea from a new shop, which prompts Dan and Phil to order some of their own in the middle of recording.
• Episode 10:
  • Dil's first day on the job as a police officer immediately goes awry when the crime scene turns out to be the next-door neighbors, which immediately concerns Dan and Phil.
  • Dalien randomly shows up out of nowhere to practice a cheer routine in the middle of his dad's work shift at 9am. Dan then quips that this is why Dalien's grades are slipping at school.
  • After a pretty underwhelming two days on the beat, Dan and Phil conclude that the police career doesn't suit Dil, so they decide to quit in the most Dil way possible: by going on a freeze ray rampage on the entire police station and releasing all the inmates.
  • Upon returning home from his chaotic last day as a cop, Dan and Phil decide to have Dil WooHoo with Tabitha in his police outfit. Unfortunately, right as the couple is about to get busy, Dalien walks by to have a bath in his parents' en suite. In a panic, Dan hastily locks the bathroom door on Dalien in order to prevent a Primal Scene from playing out.

Undertale

• If you've played Undertale and are familiar with all the twists and endings, listening to Dan and Phil speculate on certain plot points can be entertaining, as they're often dead wrong (ie, suspecting Toriel was evil at first). However, as they grow familiar with the characters and world, they actually turn out to be spot on a surprising number of times!
• The voice Phil gives Flowey. It's a totally ridiculous Southern drawl... thing. Dan's voice for Toriel is similarly hilarious, especially since he can't seem to decide which part of Britain he's going for.
• Dan's incredulous reaction to Flowey offering the player "friendliness pellets" in the first episode.
  "...Is he offering us drugs?"
• When Toriel tests the player's independence by having them walk down a corridor by themselves, Dan snarks that her method is "better than my parents, to be honest."
• Dan and Phil, by pure chance, come across a rare random event — one of the Gaster followers. Said follower asks, "Have you ever imagined a world where everything is exactly the same... except you don't exist?" Phil has to physically stop Dan from going to collapse on the couch in yet another existential crisis.
• "NOT NOW, PAPYRUS!"
• When meeting Alphys, Dan is hilariously annoyed when he finds out about Mettaton.
  Alphys: Anyway, recently, I decided to make him more useful.
  Dan: Mmhmm.
  Alphys: You know, just some small, practical adjustments. Like, um... Anti... Anti-human combat features?
  Dan: Oh my God. Now you've gone and done it.
  Alphys: Of c-course, when I saw you coming, I immediately decided, I have to remove those features!
  Dan: And...?
  Alphys: Unfortunately, I may have made a teensy mistake while doing so.
  Dan: Yes...?
  Alphys: And now he's an unstoppable killing machine with a thirst for human blood?
  (Beat as Dan processes.)
  Dan: ...Obviously.
• Dan adding a stereotypical stoner cough to Burgerpants' dialogue when he starts smoking a suspicious-looking cigarette.
• Dan and Phil's reaction to Photoshop Flowey. Much screaming is had, and really, can you blame them?

Everything Else

• Dan's (unintentional) tendency to fall out of his chair when extremely frightened or taken by surprise - often accompanied by an Atomic F-Bomb or a shriek of utter terror.
• When playing Bishi Bashi Special, a WarioWare-like Japanese game, they get stuck on the weirdness of the "Beans" minigame and "Uncle Bean" in it.
• They attempt to play Portal with Phil blindfolded and controlling the game, and Dan instructing him. Things do not go to plan. Dan completely and utterly loses his shit throughout the video at Phil's complete inability to follow his instructions, often devolving into Angrish. It is hilarious.
  Dan: Are you - are you - are you actually shitting on my leg?
• The two play Five Nights at Freddy's. At one point, they get jump scared by Bonnie, and Dan freaks out so hard he falls out of his chair.
• "Hello, Laura." *kicks across room* "Goodbye, Laura."
• There is a lot of schadenfreude to be had at Dan and Phil's expense when they play The Impossible Quiz, which is only aided by their out-of-game mistakes like misclicked answers and closing the window the game was on. Dan especially provides some entertaining reactions.
  • It gets even funnier if you know that you need all your skips in order to finish the game... and Dan and Phil are very dependent on using those skips. The comments underneath the Impossible Quiz videos are chock full of people asking, "...Should we tell them?"
    • When they do find that out is probably one of the most hysterical moments on the channel. Dan goes into a Heroic BSoD and storms out, leaving a laughing-but-equally-upset Phil, only for Dan to burst back in a moment later to rant at the game. The rant truly must be seen to be believed. During all of this, Phil is just laughing and trying to calm Dan down.
  • "PHIL LESTER! YOU'RE A GENIUS!" ^note Dan's overenthusiastic (yet genuine) response to Phil's puzzle-solving in the Impossible Quiz. The mouse has to move from one dot to the other without touching pink, which completely surrounds the dots. The puzzle hints that you need a bridge, and Phil quickly realizes that one needs to right-click and move the mouse along the options to the other side.
• Come Gamingmas 2016, Phil's obsession with dabbing, and Dan's equally passionate revulsion. It doesn't help Dan that the Howlter baby gets named Dab because it happened to work with the combination style of names they tended to use.
• Phil's attempt at playing "Quick, Draw", as his interpretations are very out-of-the-box and his artwork is very messy, so the Google AI hardly guesses any of the drawings he makes.
• Dan and Phil are quickly weirded out and frustrated by "Google Feud", as the searches that have to be guessed are often very obtuse, bizarre, disturbing, or all of the above.
• Phil's horrified reaction to "My Horse Prince," coupled with his and Dan's uproarious laughter as the game goes on.
• Dan desperately trying not to laugh during Phil's turn when they play "Yasuhati," a game that's controlled by the player's voice. The noises Phil makes range from hilarious screams, really uncomfortable moans, and weird words and phrases ("Spa-spa-spic. Spook. Ghost...*roars*...SHARKS!"), and Dan is practically tortured by trying to hold in his laughter. The video title, "We hAVE to SHOUT to juMP??!", is also pretty funny, as it illustrates the manner of speaking that happens when playing pretty well.
• They play The Mark of Oxin, a game Phil made from an RPG creator when he was 14. There's some amusing suckiness to it in the typos and weird, very specific humor (Phil mostly made it for his friends to enjoy), but perhaps the weirdest and funniest part of the game is that there are some NPCs who invite the character to "join them tonight" and say he was "great" afterward. Although he was a teenager at the time, it's still surprising to see that kind of content from Phil.
• Dan and Phil play the Stormy Ascent, a cut level from Crash Bandicoot added into the remastered edition that was considered too hard at the time. Much rage, swearing, and insanity is had for them, and, like the Impossible Quiz, Dan is nearly broken by the experience, at one point calling for a Patreon to support their own euthanasia.
• When they play "Who's Your Daddy?" they comment numerous times on the uncomfortable nature of the title, though one of the main highlights is Dan's final round as the da....father, where he gives Phil (as the baby) a toy car to ride around in only to realise it makes Phil move faster than Dan can run. He then tries to drop poop onto Phil because he's "a bad child", only for Phil to eat it and poison himself. He makes a getaway, but Dan grabs a pool skimmer to try and wrangle Phil with, though all he does is manage to break the furniture into shards of glass which Phil then eats, killing him.
  Dan: By trying to help, I actually accelerated your demise... Let's never be parents.
• When playing Job Simulator, not only do they suffer some bizarre mishaps within the game (and Dan ends up taking a customer's monocle for his own), but Phil stumbles against the sofa when trying to move in VR and ends up landing on the present decorations, crushing them. Which Dan references throughout the rest of Gamingmas.
• Both rounds of charades during Gamingmas 2017, due to Phil's guesses^note Including "Boob King" when Dan was trying to imply "Queen" when Dan is playing, and Phil's actions when it's his turn. The fact that the first round happens because Dan lost his voice adds to the hilarity— he still manages to scream at Phil and is even more shrill than usual.
  Dan: IT'S A FUCKING BARREEELLLL!!!
  • Additionally, when the outro comes in, the description for Dan's channel rather than being a pun on danisnotonfire like it usually is, simply reads "..."
• Dan and Phil start 2018 off with the infamously frustrating game "Getting Over It". Dan makes a New Year's resolution of being much quieter due to his generally very high volume levels when excited, and he fails completely, blowing out the audience's earbuds before he remembers he's supposed to calm it down.
  • Phil's horrendous That Came Out Wrong: "I can get it up as much as you!" Phil tries to blame Dan's dirty mind, but Dan is correct in saying he is far from the only one who picked up on the innuendo.
  • The Announcement Moose abuse, including stress-whistling and bizarre shoulder massages from it at Phil's insistence (both for Dan and himself).
  • Also of note is Dan literally flinging himself off his chair when he accidentally throws the character off the rundown hill, screaming as he kicks off his slippers:
    Dan: YEAH I'M WEARING SLIPPERS AND FUCKING WHAT?! FUCK YOU!!
    Phil [resigned]: It's over. We can't do this anymore.
    Dan [crawling under table]: You wanna see my feet, you pervs?! Bet this isn't how you thought this would happen! [chucks a slipper at the camera]
    Phil: Stop throwing your slippers at the audience!
• They play some minigames from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild in their Zelda Olympics video, and it's something to behold.
  • First off, Phil calling Link "Zelda" by accident and Dan's subsequent anger (which manifests as pushing Phil out of his chair.)
  • Phil admits to having a lot of trouble in the snowball bowling minigame, completely missing the pins so often that he considers his score of 3 to be pretty good. Dan, who hasn't gotten to this point in the game yet and hasn't played this minigame, manages to get a strike. Phil is understandably rustled.
  Phil: I hate you so much! I've literally played this minigame twelve times and I never got a strike.
  • The first two things Phil does immediately after they end the minigame is attempt to attack Pondo and one of the bowling pins.
  • The next minigame is Sand Seal racing in the Gerudo Desert. Dan goes first and takes a shortcut that Phil was unaware of, and manages to beat Phil's record time. Phil tries to take the same shortcut, but somehow takes 3 seconds longer to complete the course.
  • Dan calling All or Nothing on Phil's behalf and telling him it's his birthday present and not to come to him later asking "for any socks or weird crap".
  • The stark contrast between Dan and Phil's approach to the archery minigame. Phil exploits the bullet time as much as possible and tries to hit targets from impossibly far away, though this strategy nets him a score of 13. Dan's approach is to spend more time gliding around looking for targets he can hit at close range, which serves him pretty well until he realises he only has four seconds left. Dan then panics and starts shooting any targets he can, and also comes away with 13 points. For the first time in a Dan vs. Phil competition, the tiebreaker was also a tie. Dan ends up ripping the sticker in half so they can share the point.
  • The tape loses its stickiness due to Dan tearing it in half, so he declares that whoever's half of the sticker falls off the board first is the true loser. Phil accidentally knocks Dan's part of the sticker off the board not 10 seconds later.
• Dan and Phil playing Trap Adventure 2 has a lot more success in the "not creating sonic blasts of rage-induced screaming" front, but this is through immense effort from Phil to try to keep Dan calm, which includes instructions for deep breathing and crooning Björk's version of "It's Oh So Quiet". The game itself is also infamously frustrating, and seeing them try to be smarter but yet still failing to have the actual platforming skill to execute the proper maneuvers is quite amusing.
  Phil [singing slightly off-key]: "It's oh, so quiet, shh, shh -"
  Dan [similarly tranquil]: I'm going to kill Phil.
• While they did well with the first game, Phil cracks under pressure with Overcooked! 2, and ends up setting multiple kitchens on fire.
• During 2018's Spooky Week, Dan gets thoroughly freaked out by Resident Evil VR. Since the headset means Dan can't see him, Phil puts on a scary mask and waits for Dan to take off the headset. Dan falls off his chair after being startled.
• Jacksepticeye's cameo as a priest in "Saying Goodbye Forever".
  • Priest!Jack's eulogy on the channel's apparent demise, while also poking mild fun at how clearly closeted the hosts were.
  • Dil's unexpected resurrection from the grave, bursting out of his coffin and terrifying the everloving shit out of Dan and Phil. Phil's reaction is astonishingly appropriate:
  Phil: What the fuck?!
  • Priest!Jack immediately fleeing the scene in terror.
  Priest!Jack: Hell is real! GOD HAS FORESAKEN US!
• After a five-year-long hiatus, Dan and Phil Games is officially back, and Dan's first joke is that he just went to get milk.
  • Phil points out that several fans have made the observation that the channel is more or less the same now, only that Dan and Phil are now "old, gay," and Phil can say "fuck" now.
• Dan and Phil reacting to the original Phil is Not on Fire videos, which includes more than a fair amount of cringing.
  • Dan repeatedly dunking on his younger self's behavior and appearance.
  Dan: God, that hair was straightened to within an inch of its life. As I was attempting to do on the inside.
  • It's noted in the first video that younger-Dan's actual crack is seen peeking out of his trousers while he flops around the bed, horrifying both Dan and Phil. Dan also notes that even his sexy nun costume didn't create that level of obscenity
  Dan: Sister Daniel didn't show crack!
  • Dan and Phil's reactions to the various dated cultural references, ranging from apologizing their dissing of celebrities like Justin Bieber, to pure horrified laughter at the "Osama bin Laden" question.
  • Dan's summation of his hairstyle during "Phil Is Not On Fire 4" is The Twink meets Obnoxious Entitled Housewife.
  Phil: You want to speak to the manager at the gay bar.
• During Gamingmas 2023, one of their editors SuperSeizer added the Bosnian "Helikopter" song when the penguins in Bread & Fred spun around, and then again when a helicopter randomly appeared in a Sims 4 video.
