I've been part of the problem, but I'm trying to fix the real-life troping issue that crops up on these guys' pages. Tropes that remain will be things that have been acknowledged and discussed. For Berserk Button, only the second example fits because the first is a human reflex in his real life, and the third is reasonable (they're very close). His first video is invoked as a torture for him, so it fits. Some of Dan's "catchphrases" were just me not recognizing British slang. Chick Magnet doesn't belong on the page if that's an outside reaction and Dan has not addressed it. Country Matters will be moved to the gaming channel page where it fits. Gone Horribly Right doesn't fit because it's real life and no suffering or bad things resulted from the success of these parodies. Being good at rapping doesn't seem like a hidden depth to me, and it's not discussed in his work. Nice Guy isn't being used as a trope, but an audience reaction, and it's not properly used for its definition. I don't feel comfortable putting Platonic Life Partners on the page at all, since we don't know and the entry can't be written without speculating about Dan and Phil's relationship, which feels disrespectful given the content of "Basically I'm Gay". Protagonist And Friends is completely misused and doesn't apply. Socially Awkward Hero implies a narrative, which Dan is not in. Straight Gay also only works with a narrative, and Dan himself says people suspected so it's rather the opposite. Tall Dark And Snarky again requires a narrative or discussion.

* UnluckilyLucky: He Dan has noted that he often escapes his bad luck by random chance. For example, he unintentionally set off a panic alarm at his first job and was on the verge of a verbal beatdown from his boss. Fortunately for him, an elderly woman wandered into the scene and claimed responsibility without repercussions.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: With [[WebVideo/AmazingPhil Phil Lester]] - they met in 2009 and travelled to see each other constantly until Dan moved to Manchester in 2010. The two have lived together since 2011, sharing a total of three homes in both Manchester and London. They are inseparable, spending all of their free time including holidays together. They tend to stick to each other. They have always stood up for each other and unconditionally supported each other through hell and back. Dan even says as much in his coming-out video, saying that Phil was the first person he felt truly safe to be himself around and that's a big part of why they're friends for life.

Subverted, since Dan has implied that their relationship either is not or has not always been strictly platonic.
