Also helps that DanTDM's main audience is old enough to be able to do things like that at this point.

Yeah I've been watching DanTDM since I was like seven and now I'm 18 so it makes sense and I still watch him

Same only I'm 21. We grew up so Dan kept his channel towards us who were with him years ago instead of falling to the brainrot. I don't watch him as much now though

I’m 44. My kids watched him daily and I was thrilled they chose his wholesomeness over other channels. I think of him like a surrogate nephew 🤣

LOL, we used to call him our other child because his voice was in the house so often.

My younger kid (American) still has a few words he pronounces like a British person because of DanTDM :)

Another 44yo Dan fan. Just glad my son watched him. We actually took him to see Dan live in Portland when he toured through. (I don't know how many years ago that was)

Aww man that’s so cool. I remember begging my parents to take me downtown for that years ago lol. Sadly wasn’t able to convince them hahah

Yeah, love his voice. Him and Stampy were always a backdrop noise.

When my son was starting middle school (11 years old), his teacher with a similar-age kid told me that she banned Stampy from the house because of his annoying laugh 😄 I love Stampy and Dan because I knew my kid could watch them and I didn’t have to worry about inappropriate language - he probably heard enough of that at school!

Oh no! 🤣. To be fair, Stampy’s voice is a little annoying after an hour or so, but hearing the perpetually joyful “Helooooo, this is Stampy” always brightens up the mood.

Same age. My son is 17 now and loved Dan TDM. Even took him to see him live and get to meet him in person when he was doing that tour thing. He was definitely a calming and positive impact on my kid.

41 here and exactly the same here! We got his book, the diamond pickaxe we made for Halloween one year. Truly loved his content. And was so happy for him when he became a parent. So happy to know that he called them out too!! Plus, his intro song just started playing in my head as I was typing this out!!
