YMMV / Dan Bull

• Complete Monster: "The End of The Line" (with The Stupendium): The Conductor and the Stationmaster are a pair of gleefully sadistic cultists serving the horrifying train-entity "Choo-Choo Charles". Having been part of the group that unwittingly released him, they struck a deal with the beast; They would kidnap locals on the island, and at "tea time" would feed them to the train. They happily boast of their previous victims, including "A vicar, a postman or 3" as they mock and torment their newest victim. Utterly selfish and cruel, the duo manage to be as monstrous as Charles himself.
• Friendly Fandoms:
  • With the Yogscast, particularly InTheLittleWood, thanks to their collaboration and him getting on well with Martyn in particular.
  • With Epic Rap Battles of History, due to his downright chilling performance as Jack the Ripper, being the first Brit to actually appear on the show rather than being someone with a bad accent, having good rhymes and using sheer energy.
  • With Miracle of Sound, thanks to Dan and Gavin getting along well.
    • They've even worked together. Multiple times.
  • With fellow Nerdcore artist JT Music as well, as the two have collaborated on each others' songs and Dan has even guested on the JT gaming channel a couple of times.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: The aforementioned Battlefield 1 vs Infinite Warfare rap now comes off as this, after iDubbbz ended up making a surprisingly good diss track with Dave "Boyinaband" Brown, Dan's friend. For bonus hilarity, Dan ended up with a subscriber bump solely because the BTS for the diss track mentioned him as the guy who suggested a beat.
• Magnificent Bastard:
  • Among Us song "An Impostor Calls" (with The Stupendium): The Stupendium plays The Impostor, once again seeking to eliminate the Skeld crew. Disguising as one of the crewmates, they and a second Impostor pick off the crew one by one, with Stupendium managing to remain undetected while hiding the existence of their partner, countering the points of Dan Bull when accused. At the end, The Stupendium ejects Dan Bull and wins the game.
  • Dishonored song "DISHONORED RAP": Corvo Attano is the disgraced bodyguard and lover of Empress Jessamine Kaldwin of Dunwall turned master assassin. After spymaster Hiram Burrows orchestrates Jessamine's assassination to seize control of Dunwall as Lord Regent and frames Corvo for her murder, Corvo swears bloody vengeance on Burrows and his associates. Bestowed with the Outsider's Mark, Corvo uses his newfound supernatural powers to hunt down the allies of the Lord Regent and anyone who stands in his way, wishing sincere condolences to their bereaved loved ones. In one instance, he sneaks into a mansion, blows a door down with a gust of wind and effortlessly cuts through several guards before eliminating his target and fleeing through a window. More brutal and ruthless than his canon self, Corvo still remains as skilful and cunning, stopping at nothing to take down the corrupt Lord Regent.
  • Hitman songs "HITMAN EPIC RAP" and "HITMAN 2 - AGENT 47 RAPS": Agent 47 is the world's deadliest assassin. Hired to eliminate wealthy criminals, he executes his targets in a variety of ways, including disguising as a chef and poisoning them, sniping them and strangling them with his fiber wire. A Master of Disguise, he can impersonate anyone on the fly to escape detection, blending in seamlessly. Whether his kills be simple or theatrical, 47 manages to escape undetected after every contract and keep his identity a mystery.
  • Minecraft song "Bull Is The Spider": The titular Spider is a cunning, resilient predator. Stalking a miner as he traverses a cave, the Spider sets up elaborate traps to lure him further into the mine. After knocking him into a minecart and crashing it, the sSpider bites the injured miner and injects him with his venom, causing him to hallucinate and die. Having a Villainous Friendship with the Skeleton, the Spider shares the dead miner with him and they feast on the corpse before burying it, the miner reviving into a zombie afterwards.
• Moment of Awesome:
  • Dear Lily and Dear Mandy both.
  • The Crew, a song that Dan made with every line ending in a homophone. He managed to get cameos with people such as Tobuscus, to boot.
  • His Halo 4 rap is considered to be one of his lyrical best.
• Tear Jerker: Dan Bull had issues with self-harm a few years back. During that time, he made this song. The video is simply titled "I hurt myself." The lyrics and visuals that appear in the video only make it worse.
  • The final lines of his rap about cats:
  Dan Bull: You had a true cuteness I never grew used to
  It rips my heart apart knowing that soon I'll lose you
  I don't want to lose you
  I love you
  • A minor one in his Metro Exodus video, when the opening lines are compared with his Metro: Last Light song:
  Metro Last Light Rap: They said Moscow was a lost hope, but it's not though! It's just gone off the beaten path to meet a crossroads!
  Metro Exodus Rap: They said Moscow was a lost hope, And it was so I've gone off the beaten track to meet a crossroad east of Vladivostok.
  • The video for Metro Exodus itself takes a few verses to reflect on how bleak a situation the game's protagonists (And, in fact, anyone still alive) are in.
  Dan Bull: The rubble and bones are covered in mud under soot and the smoke
  Is enough to choke you up as you wander alone
  Through tunnels and holes and burrows and roads
  Just looking for somewhere to go
  That could become an abode, even a gutter's a comfortable home
  But there's not much of a hope, there's no government
  No more Russia, the globe's become a Chernobyl
  • The song he made about This Is England is just as depressing as the film it came from. The outro...
  Because real men don't cry...
  • While most of Purpose for New London is shown as propaganda from the religious and authoritarian sides, the chorus is sung in a much more somber tone, carrying the sense of hard work that is ultimately futile.
  Morning gathering or evening prayer
  We still battle for a season fair
  We still huddle in the freezing air
  For a summer that's not even there
  If that sun won't rise on our horizon
  We'll march on to spite the skies
  And find that wheel of progress so well worn
  Brought us no shelter from the storm
