Otherwise known as Phil Lester. Phil is a vlogger who has been making YouTube videos since 2006. Phil is enthusiastic, childlike, and also possibly insane.He frequently collaborates with fellow YouTuber and life companion Dan Howell, and has hosted two collaboration series of sorts on his channel - the seasonal baking videos (alternate years), and "Phil is Not On Fire", ostensibly a Q&A show, but one that answers very little, with no normal prompts and lots of bizarre and amusing improv instead.In the past, he and Dan have co-hosted two shows on BBC Radio 1. The Dan and Phil show is probably most well-known, and aired weekly from 2013 to 2014. They also co-hosted The Internet Takeover from 2014 to 2016, where they appeared once a month.He and Dan also share a gaming channel at DanAndPhilGAMES. Any tropes relating to those videos should go on that page.

My Friends... and Zoidberg: Phil is often the victim of this whenever Phil and Dan are together in a video. The best example of this was when Dan and Phil challenged each other to see who was recognised more by the fans which resulted in Dan being recognised faster than Phil.

Your Mom: Phil drops these frequently when playing games with Dan and there are some collaboration problems or the competition is heating up. However, he tends to use these as reflexive comebacks to whatever Dan was just frustrated about, and so they lack the context or structure to count as a proper insult, joke, or threat.

Sneaking ingredients for himself in the baking videos, to the point where, in the pumpkin cookies video, Dan showed that he had to prepare and get two new bags of marshmallows for their cocoa because Phil had eaten all but one from the bag they already had. He's also prone to eating Dan's cereal as a snack, and their second Google Feud video on the gaming channel has the two playing for the last macaroon they have...because Phil ate all the rest.

Those Two Guys

comment
Those Two Guys: With Dan. Contrary to most Youtube duos, they originally weren't a double-act and rose to fame on their own respective channels. However, from 2014 to 2018, it gradually became rarer to see one without the other: they live together, frequently appear in each other's videos, created three collaborative side channels, got their own radio show on BBC1, were offered a dual cameo by Disney in the UK version of Big Hero 6, hosted award shows together, and would be side by side for interviews or conventions. Perhaps the epitome of this is that they jointly won a 'Best Vlogger' award despite it usually only being won by one vlogger. By all accounts, this is also how they are known in real life.

comment
Cute and Psycho: Older videos showcase more of Phil's... weirder side. He still retains a lot of that vibe. Prime examples are the times when he breaks out the black humour, casually spews odd facts about topics like pyromania, his general tendency to suddenly start staring wide-eyed at the camera without a word for some time and saying things that are sometimes flat-out Nightmare Fuel material. His April Fool's channel with Dan, DanAndPhilCRAFTS, takes it to an all new height.

Black Comedy: In the "easter nests" baking video, they use a Bain-marienote A way of melting things in a bowl heated over boiling water, and Phil suggests that the hypothetical "Bain-Marie", for whom it could be named, died this way. Occasionally, Phil will lapse into black comedy without even knowing it.

Delicate and Sickly: Though Phil has apparently been getting headaches since he was a child, by 2021, he had developed chronic dizziness for unknown reasons.note He said in 2023 that it may be a combination of vestibular migraine and Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness, or PPPD, but didn't have a firm diagnosis. Some days have been bad enough to leave him lying down most of the day, although he says that treatment has significantly helped.

Whenever he and Dan dress up in costumes or other novelty outfits, he makes Dan wear the weird or embarrassing outfits while he gets the cool ones. From this, Dan has been made to wear a kangaroo onesie, a muscle morphsuit, a bizarre squid outfit, the Tabitha shirt out of their Howlter family merch, and a Sailor Fuku uniform. Phil gets away with a shark headband, the heroes of the anime they're dressing as, Dil's shirt, and a typical British male school uniform.

 AmazingPhil (Web Video) / int_8abe13b6
comment
It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time: In several videos. If he's doing some sort of craft or hands-on activity, chances are good that he'll spill something (often on himself or his sheets), burn things, or otherwise make a mess. In one video, he bought a spare SIM card so his audience could call or text him... and put it in his actual phone. He quickly realized his mistake when his phone froze up. Repeatedly. Phil sometimes asks for audience submissions, only to regret it when he's sent particularly bizarre or explicit things. And that's assuming that Phil is the one going through the suggestions rather than Dan.

He intentionally swears very little and very mildly on camera, and in the rare occasions where he does drop a more extreme curse, he normally bleeps it out, serving as a good foil to Dan's foul mouth. He has stated that he has built a relatively clean image and his grandparents watch his videos, so he tries to avoid swearing. He does curse off-camera, however.

Extreme Doormat: A trait he attributes to his Britishness. It causes him great chagrin, such as when he finds himself unable to make a comeback to a rude neighbor or when he goes along with an insane gym plan, risking the possibility of vomiting on his trainer due to built-up nausea.

Epic Fail: Phil tells a story of when a creepy old woman came to his door inviting him to meet "The Holy Mother". He refused by saying "maybe next time" instead of a hard refusal. He mentions the paranoia induced by this error.

Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!
 AmazingPhil (Web Video) / int_b7bc7d28
comment
Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: Phil is very easily distracted, and it's quite common for him to go on seemingly unrelated tangents or forget what he was about to do. One example is in his Draw My Life: Part 2, where he stops narrating his life to draw a seal on wheels. Some of Phil's earliest, now-deleted videos exemplify this trope, with him jumping from subject to subject on a moment's notice. It gives Phil himself whiplash when he watches one of these videos several years later.

He also takes the time to respond to as many comments as possible and gives genuinely good advice to anyone who asks for it.

Dye Hard: He has been dyeing his hair black for almost as long as he has been online with the exception of a temporary break between September 2019 and May 2020. His natural hair colour is a mousy brown with a slight auburn tint, leading to ginger jokes (although it is not actually that red). He would experiment with forgoing the dye again in late 2023 into 2024.

comment
Gosh Dang It to Heck!: He intentionally swears very little and very mildly on camera, and in the rare occasions where he does drop a more extreme curse, he normally bleeps it out, serving as a good foil to Dan's foul mouth. He has stated that he has built a relatively clean image and his grandparents watch his videos, so he tries to avoid swearing. He does curse off-camera, however. In the song The Internet is Here, which ends their first stage show, Phil intervenes when Dan is about to say the word 'shit' by yelling "rubbish!" When making a precursor video to their 2018 tour themed on doing what the audience asks, a popular viewer request was to get Phil to swear. He tries to weasel his way out of it with "crap", "ass", and "bloody hell", but Dan's pressuring drives him to give up and just drop an F-bomb for the camera, which is left uncensored.

Friend to All Living Things
 AmazingPhil (Web Video) / int_e21faf11
comment
Friend to All Living Things: He loves animals (especially lions), and will try to cuddle any pet he encounters. He is, however, afraid of horses. (This apparently doesn't apply to horses with human faces though.) In Phil's baby video, it is revealed that he had a "house rabbit", which is his pet rabbit that lived in his house because she didn't like living in a cage. Even if he's dead afraid of a bug or spider in his bed or on the wall, he does his best to evict it from the surroundings without killing or hurting it. In 2019, he and Dan adopted a rescue betta fish named Norman, whom they truly loved and cared for. He used to feed pigeons on the balcony of his flat, and once posted a picture of "Steve," a pigeon who frequented the balcony. One viewer pointed out that Steve appeared to have some wire wrapped around his foot, which is dangerous for birds, as they can lose the foot. Phil saw this comment and undertook a mission to bring Steve to a vet to have the wire removed.

Animal Motifs: There is a repeated lion motif in several of his videos (more apparent in past videos than more recent ones), such as his stuffed lion who is portrayed as a Deadpan Snarker who makes comments about Phil's stories through annotations, his "Draw Phil Naked" fan submissions which would often feature lions, along with a few of his videos being dedicated to lions or at least features a lion in the title. His Krave Challenge onesie was a lion as well.

Covert Pervert: His innocent personality doesn't mean he isn't knowledgeable of or interested in some things that aren't so innocent, and he's showcased both sides. This is someone who will Squee over a virtual puppy and use a stuffed animal as one of his symbols, but he will also casually discuss the weirdness of macrophilia during a party game or turn what was supposed to be a simple joke tweet on Dan's account into an uncomfortably plausible Dan-musing on a reindeer-kink fantasy.note Dan had had the good fortune to meet an idol of his, Pete Wentz on multiple occasions, and they kinda became friends. But Phil's reindeer tweet was so creepy that Wentz, unaware of the true author, unfollowed Dan.

Creepy Child: Phil may have been this, if his stories from The Rabit iz comin to get youu are anything to judge by: Phil says when he was younger he would stare at his parents while they slept with an emotionless expression. He was definitely a creepy child. This horror movie he put together as a 12-year-old. Older Phil's commentary further solidifies that point.

Running Gag
 AmazingPhil (Web Video) / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: Phil's obsession with buying house plants and subsequent failure to look after them properly. Sneaking ingredients for himself in the baking videos, to the point where, in the pumpkin cookies video, Dan showed that he had to prepare and get two new bags of marshmallows for their cocoa because Phil had eaten all but one from the bag they already had. He's also prone to eating Dan's cereal as a snack, and their second Google Feud video on the gaming channel has the two playing for the last macaroon they have...because Phil ate all the rest. Providing fanciful alternative origins for the ingredients used in their baking, which usually get questioned by Dan. Whenever he and Dan dress up in costumes or other novelty outfits, he makes Dan wear the weird or embarrassing outfits while he gets the cool ones. From this, Dan has been made to wear a kangaroo onesie, a muscle morphsuit, a bizarre squid outfit, the Tabitha shirt out of their Howlter family merch, and a Sailor Fuku uniform. Phil gets away with a shark headband, the heroes of the anime they're dressing as, Dil's shirt, and a typical British male school uniform. Phil frequently (and incorrectly) using "that broke the sound barrier" after things of very high volume, only for Dan to again remind him that the sound barrier is broken by speed. He seems to be learning, however, as he's since casually dropped the phrase in the proper context when referring to a falling character's velocity in Fortnite. Phil taking any possible opportunity to use a certain firework editing effect, because it cost money and he wanted to get as much out of it as he could. Drinking out of vases and various large containers in place of a regular glass. The gag started in the 2017 installment of "Sleepless Night with Phil" in which directions for the Kool-Aid he was trying recommended using a "large" glass and viewers pointed out that it appeared to be a flower vase.

Comically Missing the Point
 AmazingPhil (Web Video) / int_fbd285b7
comment
Comically Missing the Point: Phil has moments where he misinterprets some things in amusing ways and has acknowledged them himself sometimes. Once, on a TV interview, Phil said a squirrel "bit him on the Florida"...that is, he said he was bitten by a squirrel, and when asked "where did it bite you?", he responded with "Florida", the location where the incident occurred, rather than the place on his body where he was bitten. In Dan and Phil's collab with Rosanna Pansino on Nerdy Nummies, he misunderstands Ro's instructions to start the spiderweb pattern on their donuts by piping two crosses spanning the donut. Phil pipes two small crosses on either side before realizing his mistake. When calling various vets to see if they would treat a pigeon, one vet asked for his name. Phil, thinking they were asking for the pigeon's name, answered, "Steve."
