Phil gets a boyfriend! | Animal Crossing #4 

All we need is for Dil Howlter who’s also been abandoned to get visited. I wonder what he’s been up to all these years , probably dead.

One step closer to a DanAndPhilGames revival

in acnh, betta fish can be caught from may-october in the northern hemisphere in rivers only! small shadows, from 9AM - 4PM ONLY. good luck phil!

Truth Bomb: Dan regretted deleting his own island so he secretly logged in as Phil and maintained the garden.

Phils rage trying to find a beta fish is so ridiculously funny to me

So the “pickle” is actually an ornament for a Japanese holiday called Obon. During this time, it is said that our ancestors return to our homes for a visit. The cucumber represents a horse to mean “please arrive quickly on a horse” and there’s an eggplant with the sticks like the cucumber which represents a cow to say “please leave slowly, we don’t want to see you leave as quickly as you came”. Typically Obon is the time of the year where adults get their little summer breaks (typically get days off because it’s a holiday) to return to their childhood homes and gather as family.

tbh I'd watch a 3 hour stream of phil just trying to catch a betta fish lol

Phil’s new hairstyle makes him look like a Mii but in a good way! Love ya, Phil

phil please livestream animal crossing in silence until you catch a betta

Now that we have an Animal Crossing update, I feel like we need a Sims update! How are the Howlters doing?? When is Dab and Evan's wedding?

"did you cheat on your GF's husband, thats what I did" Phil is so selfless and sweet to fill up others with happiness

phil rage quitting in animal crossing, the most wholesome and calming game, is the funniest thing ever

You got a haircut, new clothes, caught many non betta fish, and even got a furry boyfriend! I think your return was a win, overall!! 🎉

PICKLE RETURNS

There's something about the desperation, and the fact that Phil straight up forgot that fish shadow sizes matter that makes me giggle 😆

Phil: I've already got fish issues on this game Me: ✨fishues✨

catching the betta fish is really an experience, cheering for you 🎉

3 years and 1 month is so wild lmao I get guilty after 2 weeks. Welcome back!

7:42 "if this is a betta fish i'm gonna dye my hair blond immediately" ultimate foreshadowing

Thanks for all the happiness and comfort you've given me through your videos for the last couple years Phil ❤

You feel guilty for animal crossing while Dill still lays dormant?!

This has come up literally right as I was desperate for a distraction, love you Phil x

5:10 Phil: Fish issues… Me: Fishues

Phil I JUST started visiting my island again too!!! I also thought of you when Hazel moved into my island and gave me that first “uni-wow” 😂

a new animal crossing every 6 months is the dream and i'm already stoked for christmas but um. is there anyone else you've abandoned. for about 5 years. perhaps a whole family....who are still waiting for an apology.

You have inspired me to check in on my abandoned villagers. Thank you. I'll see you on the other side😬

If you get the cat scratcher thingy, you can give it to any cat villager and you might walk into their house to see them playing with it☺️

I played with my friend yesterday for the first time in ages and my villagers were like WOW IT'S BEEN 7 MONTHS WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN 😂😂. They're so much nicer in this game than the previous ones though

i have been waiting for this series to return for forever i'm so glad 🥰🥰

The shirt is totally you! Huge kudos to Bryony!!

phil struggling to catch a specific fish is so relatable

Having the worst anxiety right now, so I'm really appreciating this as a distraction - thank you Phil you're the best

phil pls do us all a favour and give dab and evan the wedding they deserve

I squeaked thinking you got a betta just for it to be a guppy... I feel you

God bless what I really needed today was you back on your animal crossing island thank you so much Phil

i do need more periodic pickle island updates phil, looking forward to the christmas episode xoxo

growing up gets exciting after you realize you'll still get to be phil's target audience :)

“I’ve already got fish issues from this game”… so you could say Phil has some “fishues” 😂

Phil the new haircut really looks so great on you. It's always tough because sometimes you just dont know if it's going to look as good when you're the one in charge of styling it and not the professional that did it day of lol but you genuinely are out here rocking it! Looking effortless and also nice and cool. Happy for you

If Phil starts wearing glasses regularly I’ll be convinced he’s turning into Zach from the Try Guys. 😆

I got some tips! First, make Fish Bait and sprinkle it into the river, it’ll attract more fish, and hopefully one of those fish will be a betta. Second, you can only catch them from 9am to 4pm, so make sure to start fishing in that time frame. Also, they are available from May to October, so they’re not just available during summer, woohoo! Good luck out there!

Obsessed with your shirt, obsessed that you gave us a first episode and a final episode with no updates in the middle. King behavior.

phil is, as always, so sweet that I just couldn't stop myself from smiling, despite that my day was a peace of shit. love ya dude.

I think the guilt comes from older games, they used to be like YOU LEFT FOR AN ENTIRE DAY NOW YOUR VIRTUAL DOG IS DEAD and I don’t think we’ve ever been the same since lmao

The voice he used for Lionel is so similar to Papyrus and it caused me such a strong sense of nostalgia

Remember when Dan said snipper clips was the angriest we’ve ever seen Phil? He was wrong.

I took me way too long to realize he named his character Tater tot. I thought it was weird that they were all calling him that 😂

this video is exactly what we needed to revive the animal crossing fandom

Approximately 100% of the reason I clicked on this video was to see Phil's hair better, since I have a similar style and am always looking for reference pics to show the barber, so I'd call the haircut a success

ok i truly felt the rage when he caught the guppy

Thanks for reminding me I abandoned my island 😂 BUT you need to step on all the cockroaches in your house! Also, donate your items you catch to the museum so you can get the coffee shop (worth it!). You should also try to play on a Sunday morning to get the turnips or wait until LaBelle stops by and has you model an outfit. I don’t know if this is just in the US but during the summer they gave us firework nights on the island and different things for that. Holidays are fun though, especially Halloween. Hope this helps!

I love watching you play games!!! ❤❤❤ the third time is sure the lucky one for the betta fish

I DID THIS LAST WEEK. i am overwhelmed by weeds and they are all like “wow… haven’t seen you in… 3 year. glad to see you again?”

I love how you can still make me laugh so much 😂

if he can get back to AC:NH after 3 years...... we are one step closer to seeing the howlters again............ I BELIEVE

you could make an animal crossing confessions video from your viewers and everyone can say what horrible things they did in game to make you feel better (or worse, people are scary lol)

why do I actually love Phil’s Australian Lyman voice

you should bring your mom back on the channel. I want to hear more chaotic phil child stories

3 years and 1 month.. TIME ISN’T REAL I’m in pain from hearing that.. also I’m SO HERE for more animal crossing at christmas that’d be so cozy 🥺 (but only if you want to ofc!!)

This was perfect for me to watch while having dinner! Also, got my own Switch and visited my island just to get in the vibe ✨C'mon, Phil! Don't abandon your villagers!

Watching Phil be so proud of his house and island is honestly what animal crossing is all about

"flop back in there you waste of space" is officially my new favorite phil quote 😌

It's been six months, Phil. _Have you checked in._

“Do I look a bit like a gay grandad, or is that what I’m going for?” My honest predicament every morning in the mirror

Your hair literally looks so good Phil I need you to know that

I’ve just recently gotten obsessed with Animal Crossing again! I always forget how fun it is

phil i love you please farm up some fish bait by digging up manilla clams on the beach (where the little damp squirty spots are) and crafting them into bait to attract fish. and also you only need to go for the tiniest size shadows theyre the only ones that can be beta fish. ily youre doing amazing sweetie

I only got introduced to the wonderful world of Animal Crossing last year so this made me very excited. Seeing your favourite villagers still there after 3 years made me very happy because I'm always worried my favourites will be gone if I'm not there for a month and I always enjoy being welcomed back by them anyway

Can we have more animal crossing episodes Phil? I’m loving this!!!

froggycrossing is going to be so jealous when she finds out phil has lily

7:42 guess he caught the fish.

0:55 not me thinking phil was saying “BETTER fish” 😭 🐠

Did anyone see the original title? “Exploring my abandoned animal crossing island”… and did Phil change the thumbnail as well? Cheeky lad

Phil : “I have fish issues” My brain : ….fishues…

OMG PHIL I JUST GOT A BETTA LITERALLY WHILE REWATCHING YOUR VIDEO - try fishing near *waterfalls* cause that's where mine was! Sending you positive fish vibes, you can do it!! 🐟💙

i’ve been rewatching your old animal crossing videos constantly over the past year so when i saw you uploaded this i was so excited!! please make more videos on pickle we need it

Please visit the island again soon, Phil! Don't neglect the villagers again 😭

The shirt do be shirting tho 😎

I would love if Phil streamed himself playing games. Even if just occasionally.

not phil calling an anthurium a peace lily

obsessed with phil's hair in this

i can't believe this was our soft launch back to dnpgames

You can only catch betta fish from 9am to 4pm in rivers. No ponds or ocean's. Apparently they appear in higher elevation rivers more often?

Climbing (bouldering) is honestly an S tier hobby for people that aren’t very into sports or not motivated to work out. The progress and gains come so fast, it’s a very rewarding sport. It also helped me get over my fear of heights!

No way it’s been 3 years! Now I’m feeling old 😅

i'm so proud of phil dropping the skinny jeans. they're outdated. nowadays we love to let things flop around.

I LOVE PHIL’S NEW HAIR!

I laughed throughout the entirety of this video

9:47 Lyman in the back; SO CUTE

Love you Phil! Thanks for the serotonin boost! ☺️

Go back to your island, Phil!! You can catch a beta fish now!!!

The hair is amazing, so happy for you Phil! 🎉

in three years he will come back and wonder why there is a rusted can in the living room...

I need Phil to cosplay as animal crossing characters

Phil, you are making me want to get back into Animal Crossing. Thank you!

I was not emotionally prepared to mourn Norman again. RIP lil’ buddy. 😢

Couldn't be me, I've literally logged onto the game for at least 10 minutes everyday for the past 3 years because I'm too attached to my villagers and feel guilty abandoning them lol. I'm still traumatized from abandoning my Nintendogs when I was kid, I was so sad when I finally checked back in on them that I legit cried. 💀(also, Sims check-in when??? 👀)

Some youtubers go on an apology tour irl where they monetize having done just the most atrocious things. Phil goes on a forgiveness tour in a videogame to say sorry to the pixels for not playing for 3 years (and 1 month).

it's absolutely wild and not allowed that that was THREE YEARS AGO WHAT

Okay, but the baby romper is actually so cute.
