DP took our DD out to town earlier. He came back with the dvd of dan tdm live on tour.
It has now been put on the tv in the living room and I am trapped in here with it on!
WWYD?

I was going to get this for Ds1's stocking but it hasn't occurred to me that if have to watch it, so thank you for the warning! And since he's not been mentioned, thank fuck it isn't Purple Shep, I'd be throwing the telly out the window for that and going outside to burn it, just in case.

CremeFresh · 02/12/2017 18:16

Ackle never thought of it like that ? Still don't get it though Grin

I'm so sick of my kids watching Dan TDM on YouTube so much these days I've resorted to hiding in the corner with headphones, Netflix, and my cross stitch.

DamsonGin · 02/12/2017 18:24

Rather randomly he was on Jo Wiley's R2 show the other night, sounded like a really nice lad.

I once queued for 2.5 hours with my two oldest children, outside, in October, so they could meet Dan TDM and get their books signed by him. I still get a bit twitchy just hearing his name.

thecatsarecrazy · 02/12/2017 18:27

We went to insomnia August bank hol and he was there. He had a stall with t shirts and such and a paid meet and greet. The money he gets!
There was also 8bitryan there tucked away at the back i was happier for my boys to meet him.

I like DanTDM. He isn't anywhere near as annoying as most of the other youtubers and he really seems like a decent guy and a good role model.

AckleAckencacker · 02/12/2017 18:30

Creme - i saw it in a meme and just thought 'oh yeah'

I don't mind Dan TDM but yes to this Be grateful it’s not Stampy! - that god awful laugh makes me want to burst my ear drums with knitting needles!!

IlPorcupinoNilSodomyEst · 02/12/2017 18:37

He's know as Dan Tedious in this house. Thankfully the kids have gone past the stage of watching him forors.

AckleAckencacker · 02/12/2017 18:39

Its over. Ds loved it. And its not actually too bad.

I had to watch it with DS. It's so bad it's cringe worthy, especially the singing part at the end.

Also I met him at a couple of events and he's a pompous arse.

AckleAckencacker · 02/12/2017 18:43

Crap. It has bonus features. Oh well. Haha, he is ignoring the bonus features. It is over.

I love a bit of dan tdm!

Welshmaenad · 02/12/2017 20:54

I think he's a bit of alright personally. Far more bearable than that Stampy creature. Hellooooooooo this is Stampy!!! FUCK OFF.

Wilberforce42 · 02/12/2017 21:22

Just be grateful it’s not pat and Jen from popularmmos. And Dan is quite hot it has to be said.

Curious0yster · 02/12/2017 21:37

I have had the great (mis)fortune to meet and spend a weekend with a number of the minecraft youtubers. Dan is really quite hot in real life and was very friendly and kind to the children, iBallistic Squid was strangely sexy and also a really nice chap and Stampy did nothing for me at all, has that same voice in person but is also a thoroughly nice guy. I was really dubious about them all, but they won me over!

shakingmyhead1 · 02/12/2017 21:43

surprised he hasnt dropped in to say hi... he is a member of MN ( and his wife too?)

DropZoneOne · 02/12/2017 21:52

DD spent one day back in September I think telling us we had to order his DVD that day on Amazon so it would be a signed version. Went on and on. So I did. It turned up a couple of weeks ago and I've hidden it until Christmas.

She's obsessed. Partly with the roblox videos but also his pugs.

As PP said at least its not stampy. That bloody voice used to wake me up every morning when DD would fire up the PC.

bluebump · 02/12/2017 21:55

I took my DS to watch it live last year, he still talks about how great it was. He's definitely one of the better YouTube stars my DS watches.

BackBoiler · 02/12/2017 21:57

Mine have now moved on to Ballistic Squid! He's from Yorkshire like us ya know!

bluebump · 02/12/2017 22:00

I follow Dan on Instagram...for my DS of course Grin

IncyWincyGrownUp · 02/12/2017 22:30

Martin Littlewood is easier to listen to, but swears every now and again which isn’t good if there are smaller children watching.
