1%%* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: ...See above.
2* CompleteMonster: "[[https://youtu.be/W_pTDB1vJW8 The End of The Line]]" (with Music/TheStupendium): The Conductor and the Stationmaster are a pair of gleefully sadistic {{cult}}ists serving the horrifying train-entity "VideoGame/ChooChooCharles". Having been part of the group that unwittingly released him, they struck a deal with the beast; They would kidnap locals on the island, and at "tea time" [[FedToTheBeast would feed them to the train]]. They happily boast of their previous victims, including "A vicar, a postman or 3" as they mock and torment their newest victim. Utterly selfish and cruel, [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters the duo manage to be as monstrous as Charles himself]].
3* FriendlyFandoms:
4** With the LetsPlay/{{Yogscast}}, particularly LetsPlay/InTheLittleWood, thanks to their collaboration and him getting on well with Martyn in particular.
5** With ''WebVideo/EpicRapBattlesOfHistory'', due to his downright chilling performance as UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper, being the first Brit to actually appear on the show rather than [[FakeBrit being someone with a bad accent]], having good rhymes and using sheer energy.
6** With Music/MiracleOfSound, thanks to Dan and Gavin getting along well.
7*** They've even [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQx1kbUbgaQ worked together]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZIB_-U4PYI Multiple times]].
8** With fellow {{Nerdcore}} artist Music/JTMusic as well, as the two have collaborated on each others' songs and Dan has even guested on the JT gaming channel a couple of times.
9* HilariousInHindsight: The aforementioned Battlefield 1 vs Infinite Warfare rap now comes off as this, after [=iDubbbz=] ended up making a surprisingly good [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQpKb0U800I diss track]] with Dave "Boyinaband" Brown, Dan's friend. For bonus hilarity, [[https://twitter.com/itsDanBull/status/915474969651445760 Dan ended up with a subscriber bump]] solely because the BTS for the diss track mentioned him as the guy who suggested a beat.
10* MagnificentBastard:
11** ''VideoGame/AmongUs'' song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpbTj60kTgI&t=0s An Impostor Calls]]" (with Music/TheStupendium): The Stupendium plays The Impostor, once again seeking to eliminate the Skeld crew. Disguising as one of the crewmates, they and a second Impostor pick off the crew one by one, with Stupendium managing to remain undetected while hiding the existence of their partner, countering the points of Dan Bull when accused. At the end, The Stupendium [[TheBadGuyWins ejects Dan Bull and wins the game]].
12** ''VideoGame/{{Dishonored}}'' song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPg8qKIbIYU DISHONORED RAP]]": [[Characters/DishonoredCorvoAttano Corvo Attano]] is the disgraced bodyguard and lover of Empress Jessamine Kaldwin of Dunwall turned master assassin. After spymaster Hiram Burrows orchestrates Jessamine's assassination to seize control of Dunwall as Lord Regent and [[FrameUp frames]] Corvo for her murder, Corvo swears bloody vengeance on Burrows and his associates. Bestowed with the Outsider's Mark, Corvo uses his newfound supernatural powers to [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge hunt down]] the allies of the Lord Regent and anyone who stands in his way, wishing sincere condolences to their bereaved loved ones. In one instance, he sneaks into a mansion, blows a door down with a gust of wind and effortlessly cuts through several guards before eliminating his target and fleeing through a window. [[AdaptationalVillainy More brutal and ruthless]] than his canon self, Corvo still remains as skilful and cunning, stopping at nothing to take down the corrupt Lord Regent.
13** ''VideoGame/{{Hitman}}'' songs "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqnnuvVSLqY HITMAN EPIC RAP]]" and "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nwal3EwOZ8 HITMAN 2 - AGENT 47 RAPS]]": [[Characters/HitmanGamesAgent47 Agent 47]] is the world's deadliest assassin. Hired to eliminate wealthy criminals, he executes his targets in a variety of ways, including disguising as a chef and [[TamperingWithFoodAndDrink poisoning them]], [[ColdSniper sniping them]] and strangling them with his fiber wire. A MasterOfDisguise, he can impersonate anyone on the fly to escape detection, blending in seamlessly. Whether his kills be simple or theatrical, 47 manages to escape undetected after every contract and keep his identity a mystery.
14** ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' song "[[https://youtu.be/TDA3lOXr4uY Bull Is The Spider]]": The titular Spider is a cunning, resilient predator. Stalking a miner as he traverses a cave, the Spider sets up elaborate traps to lure him further into the mine. After knocking him into a minecart and crashing it, the sSpider bites the injured miner and injects him with his venom, causing him to hallucinate and die. Having a VillainousFriendship with the Skeleton, the Spider shares the dead miner with him and they feast on the corpse before burying it, the miner reviving into a zombie afterwards.
15* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome:
16** ''Dear Lily'' and ''Dear Mandy'' both.
17** ''The Crew'', a song that Dan made with every line ending in a homophone. He managed to get cameos with people such as Creator/{{Tobuscus}}, to boot.
18** His Halo 4 rap is considered to be one of his lyrical best.
19* TearJerker: Dan Bull had issues with self-harm a few years back. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUaV_sUQ85A During that time, he made this song.]] The video is simply titled "I hurt myself." The lyrics and visuals that appear in the video only make it worse.
20** The final lines of his rap about cats:
21--> '''Dan Bull:''' You had a true cuteness I never grew used to\
22[[WhamLine It rips my heart apart knowing that soon I'll lose you]]\
23I don't want to lose you\
24I love you
25** A minor one in his ''VideoGame/MetroExodus'' video, when the opening lines are compared with his ''VideoGame/MetroLastLight'' song:
26--> '''Metro Last Light Rap:''' They said Moscow was a lost hope, [[DefiantToTheEnd but it's not though!]] It's just gone off the beaten path to meet a crossroads!
27--> '''Metro Exodus Rap:''' They said Moscow was a lost hope, [[IronicEcho And it was so]] I've gone off the beaten track to meet a crossroad east of Vladivostok.
28** The video for Metro Exodus itself takes a few verses to reflect on how bleak a situation the game's protagonists (And, in fact, [[CrapsackWorld anyone still alive]]) are in.
29--> '''Dan Bull:''' The rubble and bones are covered in mud under soot and the smoke\
30Is enough to choke you up as you wander alone\
31Through tunnels and holes and burrows and roads\
32Just looking for somewhere to go\
33That could become an abode, even a gutter's a comfortable home\
34But there's not much of a hope, there's no government\
35No more Russia, the globe's become a Chernobyl
36** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nR-VWN4JbKc song]] he made about Film/ThisIsEngland is just as depressing as the film it came from. [[PlayingTheHeartStrings The outro...]]
37-->Because real men don't cry...
38** While most of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BW7EI8jpAwU Purpose for New London]] is shown as propaganda from the religious and authoritarian sides, the chorus is sung in a much more somber tone, carrying the sense of hard work that is ultimately futile.
39-->Morning gathering or evening prayer\
40We still battle for a season fair\
41We still huddle in the freezing air\
42For a summer that's not even there\
43If that sun won't rise on our horizon\
44We'll march on to spite the skies\
45And find that wheel of progress so well worn\
