The hell hole known as a fanbase for popular YouTuber dorks Dan Howell and Phil Lester. Many members of the phandom ship phan

The phandom is a crazy community full of over analysists and people from the ages 12-21 who come for the cute boys and English accents and stay for the accidental innuendos and existential crisis.

And remember, don't cry, craft.

Jessica: Shut up, Becky! No one asked you! *hugs copy of The Amazing Book Is Not On Fire*

Also known as the Phamily. They're fans of the popular YouTubers AmazingPhil and danisnotonfire and have tenancies to draw cat whiskers on their faces in either sharpie or eyeliner. Dan's side of the fandom tends to have more "internet drama" (Arguments over pointless things and blowing teeny-tiny comments out of proportion) while Phil's tends to be more sweet and innocent. Both sides have their own respective animal, Dan liking llamas and Phil liking lions. Dan also likes placentas and Delia Smith (For some reason) and Phil's fans draw him naked even though he's the innocent one but it makes sense.
Louise: Have you seen Dan and Phil's new collab Halloween Brownies video on Phil's channel? It gave me so many feels!
Beth: Oh my god, I know! I was on tumblr until 6AM blogging about it! I was half asleep at school, but it was worth it. The Phandom was so funny about it, too.

The phandom is a group of fans for two YouTube stars called danisnotonfire and amazingphil.

The phandom have many different platforms to base themselves around. Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, Vine, Facebook and the most important, YouTube.

No group of fans from any social media platform are better than the other. They all seem to disagree with one another so it causes a shitstorm.
Normal person: do Dan and Phil have like a special fan club or something?
Member of the phandom: yeah it's called the phandom!

Normal person: so if you like Dan and Phil, you are in the phandom?

Member of phandom: HELLZ YEAH!

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
