A lot of people take Phil for granted. And that is not ok. So I wrote this to show everyone how great and underrated Phil truly is. (And this is only starting from around 2007 don’t even get me started on younger Phil)
Ok, so this guy named Phil Lester starts to make videos under the name AmazingPhil:
It’s just for fun. The videos aren’t getting very many views, but he continues uploading anyway.
Phil’s life gets hard. One of his best friends who Phil lived with for THREE YEARS (almost as long as Dan!) dies and, instead of becoming depressed, Phil decides to “swap some of the sadness for the funny memories they had together instead.” CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE YOUR BEST FRIEND DYING? AND PHIL NEVER REALLY TALKS ABOUT THIS, AT LEAST NOT TO HIS GENERAL AUDIENCE.
Phil is on “The Weakest Link” (a game show) where he makes it to the final round and loses :( The host of the show also makes fun of his hair and the fact that he likes to make “short films” for the internet.
He continues making the short, silly videos, and he also starts to meet other Youtubers like PJ and Chris. These internet strangers will soon become his best friends.
At this point, Phil’s videos are starting to gain a lot of popularity.
This is the era of Dan the Fanboy and soon comes PINOF 1.
Soon Dan and Phil move into a flat together in Manchester. At this point, Phil still has more subscribers than Dan. And they are both getting really popular. People start to recognize them when they are out shopping or getting groceries.
Then the actual BBC calls up Phil and asks him if he and his friend Dan want to do a Christmas show. Obviously, they say yes! And just like that Phil, a nerdy guy from Manchester has a show (just a one-time thing at this point) with his best friend on BBC RADIO!
They do the Christmas show for two years.
Then Phil and Dan (ik it sounds wrong but this is about Phil) move from their flat in Manchester, to one in London. There, they have an amazing live radio show every week, plus the constant videos that Phil continues to make.
All this time, he’s never stopped making the videos with those weird animal noises or that girlfriend he broke up with after two days.
And the sad part is that by this time, Dan has more subscribers than Phil. Of course, Phil is happy for Dan, they’re best friends and Dan has worked so hard. But he wonders: “do people really like Dan better than me?”
Phil continues supporting Dan, whether through another existential crisis, or a decision to paint his nails (that comes later obvs :).
Through the years, Phil has tons of original, creative ideas:
-the 7 second challenge- a challenge that AmazingPhil invented which took the internet by storm. He never seemed to get that much credit.
And now Phil has visited Japan, Australia, and the US with his best friend, written a book, has a gaming channel, has almost 4 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS, and has changed people’s lives more than 2007 Phil would have ever imagined.
Thank you Phil, for being so Amazing.
