* MediumAwareness: Dan is rather freaked out by the fanfiction segment and has a bad feeling about where [[GenreSavvy it's leading[[. Phil, on the other hand, is relatively [[MellowFellow chill]] about it.

* InJoke: Both ''TATINOF'' and ''Interactive Introverts'' relied heavily on their YouTube content, and you would have to be a regular viewer in order to understand them. Sometimes during shows, they would even reference something from a video they'd uploaded that same week.

In October 2016, Dan and Phil released a filmed version of the Dolby Theater show in Los Angeles as a Creator/YouTube Red Original Film, alongside a behind-the-scenes documentary titled ''Dan and Phil's Story of TATINOF''. This was seen by some as an unofficial conclusion to the 2012--2015 era of Dan and Phil's branding.

''The Amazing Tour is Not on Fire'', also known as ''TATINOF'', is a quasi-fictional theatrical stage show by [=YouTubers=] Creator/DanAndPhil in which Phil accidentally breaks the Internet by microwaving his laptop, exploding its contents like popcorn, forcing Dan and Phil to learn to entertain an audience without the very thing that made them.

''TATINOF'' served as a companion piece to ''The Amazing Book is Not on Fire'' (2015). With UK, US, Australia, and Europe legs stretched across 2015 and 2016, it was the first tour Dan and Phil embarked on, as well as one of, if not ''the'' first major [=YouTuber=] tour. This would be followed by an even more international, less theatrical tour ''Interactive Introverts'' in 2018.

!!Tropes found in ''TATINOF'':
* AudienceParticipation: Audience members would send in submissions for segments such as Uncle Dan's Phone Support Hotline and the fanart section.
* {{Camp}}: The versions of Dan and Phil they play on stage are essentially exaggerated, more theatrical versions of their online personas. Dan in particular gets very melodramatic, possibly due to his Wokingham Youth Theatre background.
* CharacterAsHimself: The film's closing credits simply say Dil Howlter (Dan and Phil's Sim) played himself, keeping whoever was under the mask a mystery. Dil even has an [=IMDb=] page as a result.
* CringeComedy: Deliberately invoked as the show revives several (at the time) old RunningGags, such as Delia Smith and llamas and lions, as a way to commemorate the era.
* FramingDevice: The giant microwave -- it breaks the Internet, which is used as justification for why Dan and Phil now have to entertain their audience live and transform their [=YouTube=] content for the stage.
* HeroicBSOD: Dan goes into an existential crisis towards the end as he fears the Internet will never be fixed, which Phil has to talk him out of.
* InJoke: Both ''TATINOF'' and ''Interactive Introverts'' relied heavily on their YouTube content, and you would have to be a regular viewer in order to understand them. Sometimes during shows, they would even reference something from a video they'd uploaded that same week.
* InteractiveFiction: For the fanfiction section, certain paths presented by the voiceover would be chosen based on how loud the audience {{Squee}} for each option.
* LiveOnStage: Many segments of the show are directly taken from Dan and Phil's video series, such as Uncle Dan's Phone Support Hotline being a live version of Internet Support Group.
* NoFourthWall: The audience are very much included in the show's storyline.
* SlipstreamGenre: As far as we know, nothing akin to the phenomenon of a microwave exploding the Internet has occurred before or after in the Dan and Phil universe.
* StoryBranchFavoritism: For the fanfiction segment of almost every ''TATINOF'' show, the audience chose "Phil draws Dan like a French girl" over "Dan and Phil share a cake". This turned out to be [[ClickbaitGag intentionally misleading]], as the latter option was actually more "suggestive" than the former, with Phil literally feeding Dan a cake. Alas, most fans fell for the bait.
* SuddenMusicalEnding: The show concludes with Dan and Phil -- donned in gold suits -- performing a musical number "The Internet is Here", celebrating all that's great about the Internet. They would later release a studio version of the song for charity.
* TotallyRadical: They (especially Dan) incorporate some Internet memes that were popular at the time, such as "Here comes dat boi."
