The absolute whiplash I got from the explanation of "this person has a baby, this persons quit youtube" to "Louis was accused of posting North Korean propaganda"

[zzzzZZZZzzzzszaZZZ]

I'm ready for some british history

[misskitkatchoc]

I met Alfie's aunt in like 2016 and she said that she was surprised he got so successful because "he really wasn't the brightest of boys"

[meganwatkins]

this is the type of trivia that should be included in the UK citizenship test

[yapyingya]

this belongs to every history curriculum

[TheVeeBeast]

Remember the Brit Crew crossovers with American youtubers like Tyler Oakley and Miranda Sings ? Wild !

[jazzycat]

Dan & Phil narrowly escaping association on this board on account of the fact they technically never actually vlogged anything. Also never scammed anyone.

[Lia-llou]

I’m loosing it at the statement “they have welcomed a kid, she has two children and writes books, she got lost in the woods of Mauritius and he got accused of being bought by the North Korean Government”

[solarmoth]

This is definitely one of those you had to be there moments to fully understand the hold they had on youtube at that time.

You didn’t even mention what I thought was the worst part of the 1 pound a day video, where he got a dozen donuts for free because the guy recognized him 😂

[zooh]

Just a note for future versions of this format: the colors of the strings on the chart aren’t super visible on mobile, maybe a slightly thicker tape or something might be easier to see!

To me Dan and Phil link to this group through Louise. Their storytime collabs were just genuinely so funny

[catelynj]

there's just something so perfect about the phrase "where is the hound?"

[ry]

zoe carried this whole era on her back, the rest were just kinda there 💀

[hamandcheesedandwich]

Why were they so shady about Martha??? The fact that people had to start commenting "where's the hound?!" Is killing me 😭😂

[kathezukunft]

Also this was back when nobody had to label advertisements and brand deals. Can you imagine what kind of money these girls made with their monthly favorites and haul videos?! Cramming 10-15 brand mentions into a video that probably took them 2 hours to film and edit. Insane! That whole era was just one big fat unregulated cash grabbing marketing sham but I loved every second of it. And yes, I am too still wondering about little Marthamoo 😆

[corynnvictoria]

tumblr when zalfie got confirmed was insaaane also it's crazy how related they all were like you could extend the chart to include Hazel Hayes, world of the orange, Jack and Finn... they were all interconnected

[elladhs]

the bit about coming home from school and watching hours worth of videos about one single trip but from everyone's separate pov threw me back to memories i didn't know i still had

[kj]

the brit crew collabs with Tyler Oakley and Troye Sivan were videos I REWATCHED constantly

[culisaft]

What a throwback 💀 loved the vid but one thing that feels important to remember is that they were all contracted to the same talent agency, Gleam, so I think you have to look back realise how much more calculated the entire thing was. Looking back without the teenage naivety they were really more like colleagues, intentionally working together to enhance their agency's network by cross posting and rewarding investment in their combined stories and dramas ...
