You can find both supercuts of Dan's appearances on Big Brother here, Big Brother 10 and Big Brother 14, they are incredible watches even if you haven't watched Big Brother before, you'll figure it out rather quickly.

## NLSS

Dan was friends with Mathasgames, who was friends with Northernlion. Dan and NL knew who each other were, but never talked to each other, so when Mathas and Dan went to PAX East 2014, and Northernlion was also at that PAX, Mathas lied to Dan, saying that NL wanted to have lunch with him, he also lied to NL, saying Dan wanted to have lunch with him, they met there and the rest is history. Their first collaboration was the Gauntlet series in 2014, Dan's first NLSS was October 1, 2015. Dan has become the biggest meme in the NLSS, having the whole NLSSCircleJerk reddit themed around him, due to his strong personality, social engineering, humor, and ...unique way of speaking. You can find every NLSS that Dan has been on here, however there are a lot of times when Dan just pops in the call for a second that aren't recorded there.

## Memes

Memes specific to Dan (feel free to add more if you think things are missing, include source if possible)

**Social Engineering** - Being considered one of the best Big Brother players of all time, he had to have incredible social skills, being able to be likable while stabbing them in the back. Also, whenever Dan is on an NLSS or doing a series with the bois, he tends to ask personal questions to them while not revealing a lot about himself. He has a whole series dedicated to interviewing random players in PUBG.

**Kanye** - Dan is a big fan of Kanye West, and often references Kanye in his vernacular, such as STADIUM STATUS, Gabe is calling, Wavy, ect.

**Cursed Images** - There was a period of time in the NLSS Circlejerk where fans would edit images of Dan into a horrifying monstrosity, such as show here

**im just talking straight sauce** - Dan once tweeted that he eats cold pasta sauce straight out of the jar, the madman actually does it.

**Cerso Yeet** - Dan's Dark Souls character, along with his main weapon, Harvey's Gavel. You can find his Dark Souls series here.

**Resin** - In Dan's Dark Souls playthrough, he considered "Resin", an item that buffs your weapons temporarily, cheating as it gives you an unfair advantage. Now he and the crew use the term Resin to describe things that make a game easier, give you an unfair advantage, or cheating.

**Acquiesce -**In PUBG Episode 46, Dan takes charge and leads Team Unity as their Lieutenant. Speaking formerly, he misunderstands what "acquiesce" means and uses the word incorrectly. Dan would later use the word to replace any noun, verb, or adjective as he sees fit.

**LET'S GO -**A common saying, but started being used frequently once the PUBG series started.

**2 1 Drop on Stenoma, G-Heals, and I'M NAHT LOOTIN'** - All of these phrases are from this video that Dan enjoys and references. 2 1 Drop on Stenoma is used when dropping at the beginning of a Battle Royale, G-Heals are bandages/heals, I'M NAHT LOOTIN' is used when someone is accused of looting when they're supposed to be doing something else.

**GULDAN SHOWER** - Comes from this clip where the crew plays Patently Stupid, Dan feigns ignorance on knowing what a Golden Shower is.
