Name Dan Howell Favourite present you got as a kid NINTENDO SIXTY-FOUURRRRRRRR (my reaction wasn't quite as entertaining but it still blew my mind). Favourite YouTube clip Beyonce Clown. You can literally FEEL the impact. Ouch. Amazing. Most embarrassing hairdo I once brought a picture of Rou Reynolds from Enter Shikari into one of those 3 haircut barbers when I was 14 and they literally gave me a bowl-cut. As in literally a bowl. It happened to me. It was as horrific as it sounds. Dan Three rules you live your life by 1. If you get out of bed in winter as the sun is setting, you should probably go to bed earlier. 2. There's no point in dwelling on something that is in the past. 3. And YOLO No really, forget the morons and think about it. It s quite important. Ever dreamt about being an animal? if so, which one I suppose a cat. I mean, they're pretty intelligent and definitely have souls (unlike parrots - seriously what's up with them?) and they just get fed and petted and loved, with the freedom to do whatever they want whenever they want. Or an albatross, I suppose. They go places that'd be pretty cool.

4 As of March 2015, PHIL s YouTube channel has reached over 2.5 million subscribers and been viewed more than 137 million times. He has 1.1 million Twitter followers. Name Phil Lester. I always wanted a cooler name as a child, like ZACK. Favourite present you got as a kid When I was 8, my parents bought me a video camera for Christmas which recorded onto a tape! I made horror films with friends on my street that involved a LOT of ketchup blood and death scenes. I should try and find them and put them on YouTube! Favourite YouTube clip I think my favourite clip is Noah Takes a photo of himself every day for 6 years! It's really hypnotic. Makes me want to go and do something with my life. Most embarrassing hairdo At the start of secondary school, I decided I wanted to stand out so I dyed my hair blond. Well, that was the colour on the box. The actual result was FLUORESCENT GINGER. I was like a beacon for snowballs. Three rules you live your life by 1. ALWAYS have breakfast. If I don't have coffee, I could be genuinely mistaken for a zombie. 2. Don't take life too seriously. 3. Double-check before sending text messages. I ve had too many embarrassing auto-correct mistakes! The most recent was signing a very important text as 'Ovum' instead of Phil'. Ever dreamt about being an animal? If so, which one Half shark/half eagle Sheagle phil
