2017 has been an astonishing year for video games. But do you know what else 2017 has been good for? Many different personas that Dan has created over at GBeast. So I compiled a list of all the different personas that Dan has created and you vote for your favorite of the bunch! It kind of all started with Beatboxer Dan and Internet Dan early in the first third of the year, but more personas have emerged overtime. So without further ado, pick your favorite Dan! Ok, some of these aren't actually personas or alternate personalities, but its fun to list some of these nonetheless.

I love most of Dan's personas but there is a depth and goodness to Regular Old Dan that his characters can't beat.

I had to vote Other since Magic Dan from last Friday's Xtra Life stream was not represented.

...Unless that falls under Chip challenge Dan?

@andrack: Uh, The Dazzling DJ Ryckert is the Magician Dan. Sorry I should have clarified that in the choice option. But The Dazzling DJ Ryckert is his stage magician name.

This is a very, very good thread.

It probably won't be the most popular pick, and it was short-lived, but I loved Jeremiah. (EDIT - nevermind, looks like it's winning!)

Jeremiah might honestly be one of the funniest podcast bits ever on this site. Well, for me, anyway. I gotta admit, I do love me some Internet Dan if only for everyone else's disgusted reaction to him.

Dazzling DJ Ryckert's performance was one of the best things I've seen this year from Giant Bomb, so I went with that.

I haven't seen the bit from Extra Life, but that Jeremiah moment is by FAR the funniest thing I've ever heard from Dan, and almost certainly the moment that made me laugh the most from the entire site this year. I was in stitches during that :) Priceless.

Internet Dan - "Suck a dick douchebags

Jeremiah is a different person. He's a classy guy with a wife and a salary.

This.

Jeremiah is cool and all, but it was mostly just a moment with a voice modulation. The whole Dazzling DJ thing was hilarious and it worked on multiple levels because of his interactions with Austin, the background music from Cuphead, Vinny with the Tricaster effects, Dan's persona, and the magic tricks either failing or being completely revealed to the camera. Every time they stopped Cuphead to go back to Dan we never knew what was going to happen, but it got funnier every time.

In case people haven't seen it yet, here it is:

Jeremiah is freaking fantastic and I laughed so hard I cried at Dan's beatboxing, but nothing can beat Regular Old, Do Chickens Have Vaginas, Got Married In A Taco Bell Dan. He's the most baffling out of all of them.

I voted for DJ Ryckert because that was just wonderful but I didn't notice Jeremiah which might be my GB highlight of the year.

I voted Internet Dan, but I just listened to the Jeremiah bit, and that is pure gold. Reminds me of Comedy Bang Bang.

I voted for The Dazzling DJ Ryckert, first I thought that bit wouldn't work, so happy to be wrong on that one! And on a side note, after watching a lot of Metal Gear Scanlon. I'm happy that this list is only 2017. Remember Dan's party Bill?

I've very happy for Austin that his career is going so well, but I really miss him at Giant Bomb. He works so well with Dan.

I had to go with the Sandbird, although I'm not really sure how that is different from classic Dan other than it's a more introspective persona.

Still only three hours into the Extra Life stream, but Jeremiah is unbeatable. Shame he's not eligible here, since he's a completely separate person.

Jeremiah is the best persona that Dan has ever done. X-Com Dan is the worst thing.

Millennial Dan for me, as it was the E3 streams that convinced me to become a premium member.

Jeremiah was close, being able to stay in that character was what made me realise how self aware Dan is of his normal persona.

I like the dan that has questions about duck vaginas and if pecan pie qualifies as sweet.

I don't even think Jerimiah counts, mostly because hes more of a constructed person created with the help from the voice distortion thing. But perhaps thats why hes so special!

All and all I like Dan Ryckert just being Dan. You can't have any Jeremiahs without having "vanilla Dan"!

A little shocked by how much Jeremiah (He's an adult man) is winning on this site. Than again most people, would rather hang out with Brad Pitt, and not Gilbert Gottfried. (I happen to like Gilbert Gottfried, but I'm weird.)

Lotta great Dans on this list, and I could see the argument for any of them being Best Dan.

Except for XCOM Dan. XCOM Dan sucks.

I voted Jeremiah because it was so unexpected when it came up and had me laughing harder than I had in a long ass time. The magic bit was probably better overall admittedly but I didn't laugh quite as much, so that's the metric I used anyway.
