Plot twist: zayden is the real person, that created a fake person called Danny Gonzalez that created a fake person Drew Gooden

He is Zaydan, and he is Danny. They have similar lives and they have similar wives, and they may or may not be the same person.

Danny's relatives: who tf-

the funniest thing is that people never said the editor WAS danny in disguise, they just said that you look similar edit: what are those replies 💀

danny, i feel like the only reason this wasn’t found out sooner is because there’s already 2938 people that look like u

Danny : *freaks out cause his fake cousin looks like him* Genetics: You needa find yo chill

That Air BnB seemed legit scary. Hearing voices, seeing a light switch has turned on by itself? That's not the work of a ghost, that just sounds like there's someone else in the house! Like, a living person, hiding!

I think it's really funny that Danny put in the effort to rent a an AirBnB when we have no idea what most of the inside of his house looks like and would not notice if the new house looked the same but also didn't decide to change his two most noticeable features- eye and hair color.

danny's a little fool. the house wasn't haunted, it was just zayden there.

Guys I don’t think Zayden is ok. Look, he’s changed his channel name to Danny Gonzalez and all his socials too. Zayden, if you see this please go get some help ASAP.

I don’t understand how these people can figure out it’s Danny so incredibly fast. It’s insane. It might just be me but if I saw this, I definitely wouldn’t be able to tell that Zayden was actually Danny

No idea why this line is so funny to me, but when Danny said “Zayden flippin’ me off cuz’ I’m rAzZiN him” It always makes me laugh

any youtuber on a haunted airbnb "oh shit this is CONTENT" danny on a haunted airbnb "uh. weird. anyway back to pretending to be my own cousin"

Didn’t he already do this, did we all forget about that “Drew Gooden” guy?

Danny: im gonna make zaydens birthday april first Also Danny in January: Its zaydens birthday today there wasnt enough critical thinking back then.

I always love Danny’s experiment videos, I wonder if his long standing followers at this point whenever they see some weird out of place thing on any of his accounts are just like “oh God, what weird thing is he doing now?”

“My confidence is so fragile that if anyone notices this, I’ll just take it down” - Me, every day of my life

Isn’t he already doing this? He’s got the “Kurtis” and “Drew” fake personas-

i love the part where danny puts the net thing around his head and just laughs at himself for a solid five seconds like hes 8... LOVE YOU DANNY

I love how Danny asks us like we’re really there and actually checking if he should post it or not

“I am Danny” “I am Troy” “I am Drew” “I am Paul” “I am Zayden” “And some of us are the same person”

Air bnb's are known to have cameras everywhere, meaning they saw you acting like a complete crackhead

Danny being nervous and paranoid about posting his photoshopped self is like me getting ready to post a single unedited selfie of myself or smth

The funniest thing is how anxious Danny is about people finding out about every aspect of his plan; the second funniest thing is that he's right every time

Danny would NEVER be able to get away with murder he would rat himself out immediately after doing it

He did all this to distract us from his real fake persona, Drew Gooden

I love how danny is getting stressed over making a new whole identity 😭

He could’ve hired a professional, makeup artist, and then pre-planned all of the videos or pictures that he was going to take for the next month or so in one sitting and then uploaded them periodically

alternative title: " watch Danny slowly go insane trying to catfish his whole fanbase, just becuse "

The cousin idea was really smart. People would think they look similar but that would make sense since they're related. When i saw the instagram stories i didn't suspect anything.

I know I'm super late to this video but I'm liking just for how much fun Danny had mixing his face with celebrities

It would’ve been 100% more believable if you used the merge face with Adam drivers face

but- you already did this with the whole “drew” character....

Danny you missed the most important thing. The trick is to have your whole audience be children.

The emotional swings at 16:10 are the reasons I watch

23:20 Some of those words being blocked makes sense, but would love the context behind "becker","paul zimmer", and "troy".

Visits "cousin" for his "birthday" Forgot he made his birthday April 1st.

The title should just be: "Operation Zimmer"

me, faceblind and constantly unaware of it: hey, that first intern picture looks really convincing! my partner, looking over my shoulder: is that just him with a beard?

*As an expert at pretending to be someone else. Here are some lovely tips.* 1: If you want to show your appearance, try to change it as much as possible, but even when you did that, change it even more. Heck, use the face changer 30 times just to get somewhat of a different look! 2: Also if you want to show your appearance, wear a mask. I cannot stress that enough. Wearing a mask is possibly one of the easiest ways to completely change how you look. I learned that the hard way- 3: Develop your character. What's their name, age, family, any issues, any disorders, any likes/dislikes, any interests, career, where they live, anything that makes them have more depth. 4: Don't immediately go with the character, develop it over time so it can get better and you can notice issues with your character as well. 5: Pretend your them frequently, privately. Try to not act too different, where it seems weird, just be natural but you have something different about you. 6: Do things you dislike as the character! This is something that requires acting much more than the others, but doing things you dislike will sell people a lot more, without either sides realizing it's working. 7: Don't shine a spotlight on your characters whenever you and them are interacting, that's something that's extremely suspicious. In a conversation, don't focus on them, maybe miss their texts/messages a few times. In a photo, they can be in the background, and they can't be the main focus for *every* photo or that'll get messy. 8: Do separate things at the same time. One person can't do these two things, but two people can. There's a chance people might not know you but only your fake person if you do this as well. 9: DON'T MAKE THEM A PERFECT DUO! If you and your fake person where to always get along, constantly defend each other, or constantly be nice to each other, it'd seem unnatural, if not at first, eventually. 10: Have a plan B. If you get caught, there's many plan B's you can make. One of my favorite is that my fake person is quitting social media. And no, I'm not using these fake people to be toxic, or do bad things, I only use them to troll, help out, and usually to just have fun! I like acting, and while I can't do it constantly, this'll work.

C’mon Drew, this Danny character isn’t tricking me.

The first story i was like “no way thats his cousin, too similar, thats him” but then he posted another story side by side with him and i was like “well, danny does have a generic face doesn’t he”

Faline San

I think the results came out pretty good (despite all the anxiety) but *ain’t we gonna talk about how Zayden has black hair and a blonde beard 😂😂*

Danny’s anxiety is through the roof for 27 minutes straight

The title should be “having anxiety attacks trying to be another person”

Nice how the air bnb made him more convinced that gosts are "real" than the stanly hotel

As someone with face blindness, well, honestly just putting on makeup would’ve made you look different so to me this was overboard 🤷‍♀

"Clothes that nobody would be caught dead in." I have that MTV shirt-

Danny: his birthday is April 1st Also Danny: I'm over at my cousin's house for his birthday in January

Im so glad the ending had the "this video is over now" song instead of "yummy" like the last video... last time i didnt know the video was over and just stared at the restart page for three hours

Yoooo happy birthday Zayden!!!

Danny being surprised that the comment section was "squeaky clean" after he heavily monitored it for hours was so funny omg

Basically: Danny: *Takes photo of himself* Also Danny: "Goddammit it looks like mE"

Happy birthday zayden 🥳

The cousin thing was a nice save, BUT... Easier - 1. Mesh your face with another, then mesh that face with another. Reproducible. 2. Hire someone on Fiverr to edit with an NDA. Then you could focus more time on more pictures. Who visits someone in another state, something out of the norm, and posts 2-3 pictures? Or it's literally just the 2 of you? No cake? No party? They don't even have to all be of you. Take pics of the dinner you're eating together, the landscape, the rest of his family or his wife or baby or friends. You wouldn't take a pic with your Aunt? Counterproductive - Same baby face skin, same age, same height & body shape (more weight? More buff?), same bone structure around the eyes (think facial recognition software or pre-plan in the sims), no color variation in the wig makes it look like a wig, recently created account (try registering various names, even if you don't use them for years down the road), clothing still too similar, not making sure photos are consistent? Some are more convincing than others. In a video, you'd need different mannerisms and voice (tone, inflection, cadence). Maybe try doing a bit more research into how actors do these things, rather than trying to wing it and force it.

imagine the airbnb actually being haunted and the confusion of the ghosts seeing Danny pose around various places in the house with a really bad wig on

The fact the Danny really rented an Air BnB just to trick his followers to think that he has some random cousin is KILLING ME LMFAOOO

Danny seems like the kind of guy who would become a morally guided vigilante during a concession

i think this was arguably the most compelling video of yours i've seen yet. granted i've only seen 20 or 30 videos, but i watch youtube mostly while gaming, and i totally had the game on pause the whole time. good stuff, man.

Me: oh wow it doesn’t look like him Everyone in his dms: is that your twin? ....guess I’m blind

Yeah, right, you’ve been doing this challenge for years now with that “Drew Gooden” channel you have

Zaydan has something Danny will never have. Facial hair.

the amount of anxiety danny felt trying to pull this off is how i feel posting normally

"I am Zayden." "I am Danny" "And we are the same person"

Tomorrows video: Danny reveals that Zayden is real and the real prank was making us think that Danny is Zayden

okay im sorry but how did he think the first one was good 💀

watching this as someone with facial blindness is... an experience.

I saw the picture and I didn’t notice. Everyone else who noticed are born detectives

Imagine you hitting on "Danny's cousin" and then ending up in a video because of it, like "oh no..."

"more exciting." *Proceeds to choose Minnesota, a very quiet and chill state.* I live in Minnesota, and I've never heard someone call Minnesota exciting.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZAYDEN ‼️‼️‼️

All the editing in the world can’t erase Danny’s iconic “awkward guy in photo” pose

Danny: I tried to make a different smile Also Danny: *makes same smile that he makes in his profile picture*

What's hilarious to me is when he's combining himself with celebrities, he gets so many that don't look like him at all, yet he still picks one that looks similar to him

this is like a tv show but it is just an interesting funny handsome guy doing interesting stuff. is this what vlogging is all about. I used an adblocker to block youtube recommendations and now i see this man it is cool it's like conan in the 1990s

Danny: “Zayden” Instagram: “sauce” UKposts captions: *”Satan”*

danny, i’m so disappointed in you. i can’t believe you’d work so hard to get your imaginary cousin 12k followers while the airbnb ghost just had to sit there and watch, alone and neglected. maybe the ghost wants to be an ig model too. maybe that’s the unfinished business keeping them on this plane of existence. i bet you didn’t even ask, did you? please make this right. make your next video an apology to the ghost.

MY NAME IS GREG!!!! Which is why I wondered if youtube had added a feature for ai powered personalized content at the beginning of each video. I am now relieved!

"Should I make it not Illinois? Should it be somewhere more exciting?" As an Illinoisian, that hurt but it's true

15:23 anytime he says “my wife” I forget that he’s not a 17 year old boy who just got permission from his mom to say “piss”

unless... danny killed his intern and now hes making this video to try and convince us that he was never real

So someone thought Danny+drew=zayden, when in reality it was Danny+Tom Brady=zayden, so therefore drew=Tom Brady

I need you to do an update on him because HE’S STILL PRETENDING TO BE TROY BECKER. I comment on his posts all the time asking him why and he never answers. It’s not like there’s a ton of comments either; his following dwindled drastically. It’s weird.

the next tour: “Danny and Zayden: We Are Not Two Different People”

Me when I looked at the first picture of his face with chris evans: I don’t know who this man is, he could be walking down the street, I wouldn’t know a thing

thank u for clarifying that hello fresh has family friendly options. I was so worried it didnt

I love that he includes the moments where hes unsure about stuff and insecure too

I think this video is just legit Danny having a breakdown.

I feel like if he went with the Adam Driver disguise, he could’ve gotten away with it easier. The darker eye color could’ve thrown people off

I always come back to watch this video it’s like a comfort blanket for me

you should have made the decoy slightly tanner or paler just to add a little 💀

the amount of overthinking danny puts into this fake character’s instagram is the same amount of overthinking i put into my normal instagram

plot twist: *zayden is real and is pretending to be danny who is pretending to be zayden who is pretending to be danny who is pretending to be zayden*

The ghosts in the airbnb watching danny in a wig pretending to be his own cousin 👁👄👁

Seeing someone do math without a calculator always gets me going

Hey Laura where's Danny? "Oh he rented an Airbnb to take fake pics and catfish his followers.." Cool...cool...

This man bought new clothes, made a new Instagram account and rented an entire Airbnb just for this video.

Zayden sounds like the name of a 'cool kid' in a Disney Original movie

16:37 “look the same”
