History WebVideo / DanAndPhilGAMES

* SoreLoser: Phil repeatedly shows himself to be this whenever he loses a "Dan vs. Phil". Out of the six they have done so far, Dan has won four and Phil has won two, and in five of those six challenges, Dan technically won because he beat Phil in the first 2/3 rounds, only for Phil to force him to play an "All or Nothing" round in the hopes of winning. So far, winning the "All or Nothing" round is responsible for both of Phil's wins. After the ''first challenge'', Phil moved Dan's winning sticker to his side of the board in an attempt to trick Dan into thinking he had won.

* SensoryOverload: "Christmas Shopper Simulator 2" eventually overwhelms Dan. Not that you can blame him, as the experience included catapulting people through stores, hijacking an escalator to send shoppers flying, an animal sex store, and ballooning patrons.

* StunnedSilence: While playing {{VideoGame/Undertale}}, this is their response to Flowey's EvilLaugh and speech at the end of the Ruins.

* ParanoiaFuel: As a throwaway joke, Dan proposes the idea that Tabitha is actually an alien replacement who was dropped down after the abduction.

* SeriousBusiness: Dil's whole life is this to Dan and Phil, and they play the game straight rather than messing around with it and enjoying VideoGameCrueltyPotential.

* SoreLoser: Phil repeatedly shows himself to be this whenever he loses a "Dan vs. Phil". Out of the six they have done so far, Dan has won four and Phil has won two, and in five of those six challenges, Dan technically won because he beat Phil in the first 2/3 rounds, only for Phil to force him to play an "All or Nothing" round in the hopes of winning. So far, winning the "All or Nothing" round is responsible for both of Phil's wins. Even after the first challenge, Phil moved Dan's winning sticker to his side of the board in an attempt to trick Dan into thinking he had won.

* BerserkButton: Phil's utter incompetence in following instructions while playing ''VideoGame/Portal2'' co-op mode blindfolded drives Dan into several annoyed rages. Due to this, Dan doesn't even consider playing the second level.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Dil and Tabitha from ''The Sims'' have some very odd quirks, which Dan and Phil discuss, saying they're meant for each other. Phil and Dan show this from time to time, as is to be expected.

* AsideGlance: In the video where they play "Can Your Pet", Phil gives a few guilty looks to the camera as Dan coos over their cute little baby chick. [[spoiler:"Can Your Pet" is a SurpriseCreepy game where you're tricked into ''killing your pet and making it into canned food''.]] It's ''very'' easy to tell who's played the game before and who hasn't.

* StalkerWithACrush: Eliza Pancakes, who shows up at Dil's house several times after starting a relationship with him despite her marriage.

* GoshDangItToHeck: Phil averts this more here, although it's still mild compared to Dan's language (which is censored like in Phil's videos).

** Griping about what a terrible caterer Mia Yang is ever since she failed to cook food after being hired for a party.

* SitcomArchNemesis: Erica Pendleton in ''The Sims'' was set up to be Dil's girlfriend, but her inherently evil [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer (yes, really)]] personality and a public fight turned the two into bitter enemies.

* StraightManAndWiseGuy: Phil is often the wise guy while Dan is often the straight man but they sometimes switch roles with each other.

* MeddlingParents: Dan and Phil basically micromanage Dil's life -- but given how klutzy Dil is, this is probably for the best. Phil, in particular, seemed determined to fix Dil up with somebody in the earlier Sims playthroughs, almost to the point of a RunningGag.

* MadLibsCatchPhrase: Phil tends to start videos with, "Hello, Dan and Phil Games [relevant object]."

* StraightManAndWiseGuy: Phil is often the wise guy while Dan is often the straight man but they sometimes switch roles with each other.

* SoreLoser: Phil repeatedly shows himself to be this whenever he loses a "Dan vs. Phil". Out of the six they have done so far, Phil has won two while Dan has won four, and in four of those six challenges, Dan technically won because he beat Phil in the first two out of three games, only for Phil to force him to play an "All or Nothing" round in the hopes of winning. So far, it's only worked once.

* StalkerWithACrush: Eliza Pancakes, who shows up at Dil's house several times after starting a relationship with him despite her marriage.

* JumpScare: The yellow ballon that pops in the birthday episode of ''The Sims''.

* AccidentalInnuendo: When it became clear that Dil and Eliza would not be getting together, Phil said that Dil couldn't "get through the tunnel of friendship"...by making a circle with one hand and then shoving his entire arm through it. Dan was horrified and apologized to the audience while an embarrassed Phil scooted away.
