I love how you take an obviously fake video, and still make it interesting to debunk- and THEN, you add MORE research on top, and a new argumentation on top of it! You're not content with a simple debunk, you're pushing as far as you can. I find this very inspiring. Absolute quality content not just because you're naturally entertaining, but also because you work your ass off and respect your audience, and yourself!
I don't know what your guys' problem is, but I tried the portal thing and it worked. Opens right up to a Chipotle in Albuquerque, I just reach my hand in and steal free guac, it's pretty dope.
As a cat owner I can testify that my house is 110% haunted: things keep falling, stuff get broken without apparent reason, weird and hauntingly noises during night. Me and my wife keep feeling the undead jaws that bite our feet toes after midnight.
Unfortunately in order to be one of top dogs on youtube you have to appeal to biggest demographics which are kids and teenagers aged 10-14 (or something along those lines). Production quality has little to do with it, it's about acting a certain way (exaggerating your emotions like shock, anger and frustration) and creating brand about yourself (and not necessarily the content you produce) these kids want to idolize. Videos about scepticism and critical thinking will never become one of most viewed ones on youtube and that's fine, this is why I respect this channel so much, Captain stuck with what he believes in from the start and finally got to the point where he can make videos full-time and sustain himself.
it's kinda amazing how this entire video is supported by hours of video editing and illustrations for even the smallest of gags, while still maintaining a flowing and compelling narrative that goes along well with the editing. CD is really genius in this way and it's insane how underrated this man is
I'm very skeptical about that behaviour it's distracting and very noisy even the comments are full of silly nd unrelated jokes instead of viable context hence reminding me there could be various agents on this feed here to possibly discredit nd spread disinformation so still wary of who's telling what truth 🙄 or could he be making nd debunking his own videos 😮
It's not like the portal would even be useful to get to sedona even if you did want to; it's far to small to get through and in the sedona end it's way too high up.
He doesn't get so much views because he's not favoured by the algorithm and it's not weird.

Thank you Captain Disillusion.
MaskedKoopaKid1453 Ok, I get you’re being sarcastic, obviously it’s not rare, but it’s still expensive and difficult to make it look as realistic as CD does, especially on top of chrome like that.
I was wondering why CD picked such an obviously fake case to debunk, but then the real theme of the video emerged. Excellent work Captain. That ending, heck. Feels. To many more
*re-making an entire bedroom, let yourself get hit by a pie while wearing a *LOT* of face paint and making a creepy girl painting. *Now that's dedication*
@@bayblademaster697 the room isn't a greenscreen you dipshit and if you're a patreon you could actualy see someone applying the face paint. And how tf do you put a greenscreen in your face to make it look like it's an actual facepaint?
You know, that bit at the end about the blurring reminds me of Cinema Sins and how a ton of people that defend them (and they themselves have claimed) with the argument of "it's not meant to be real criticism, and anyway people can totally tell". And your thing about how that kind of fuzziness can be dangerous, that really hits home to me. Thank you.
That's a false equivalence if I ever seen one, CinenaSins whether you like it or not doesn't say anything factual or that can be construed as such: it's based on works of fiction and as such nothing they claim is a matter of fact and given that's satire is not made to make anyone comfortable if you don't like what they say or how they say it you can either express your thought in a civil manner or outright close the video and go on with your day.
@@paolorubenmastretta Uh.... they do say things that are factually incorrect though. For example they'll claim that something doesn't make sense and ding it, but the film _does_ actually explain that thing. That's factually incorrect. They will also sometimes intentionally edit footage to make things look worse than they really are in the film, to support the "sins" they wish to assign to it. Then, when they are called out for this, sometimes people will claim that it's "just satire" and that "everyone can tell it's not real criticism, it's just for fun" despite, if you look into the comments, you can see people commenting saying they hadn't realized the film was so bad and they wouldn't go see it. So it clearly is having an effect on people. This is similar to what is shown in this video, where people claim that "well it's not like anyone really believes it" and Captain Disillusion shows that, yes actually, some people do end up believing it is real. Even if Cinemasins or their followers claim it's satire, they put no disclaimer on their videos saying as such, and some people do end up thinking it is meant as genuine criticism. Also, I *am* expressing my thoughts in a civil manner right now, so I'm not sure why you brought that up. That's what I'm doing. Being critical isn't incompatible with being civil. Being civil doesn't mean brown nosing.
@@Shenaldrac Let's rephrase your objection: If I say that a work of abstract art makes no sense am I stating something factual or am I expressing my opinion? That's the point! Cinema is a form of art and opinion about it are just that opinions you cannot force them, or anyone else for that matter, to agree with you because, and I cannot stress this enough, discussing movies is not the same a making claims on real life and be it genuine criticism or not, it's not their responsibility in any way shape or form to be right. Speaking of civil discourse, I see you do and I appreciate it, what I was referring was the fact that many of the comments I've seen attacking CinenaSins were less than decent let's say, I'll let slide the last accusation cause I'm not here to pick a fight.
@@paolorubenmastretta "Cinema is a form of art" Debatable, given art's definition is fuzzy at best. But even so, your example is flawed. While saying "this makes no sense" might be an opinion, if you say "This painting is made with water colors" that can be a *factual error* if it isn't a water color painting. If it was done with pastels then what you have said is factually wrong, and it is perfectly valid of someone to point out that you are spreading *factual misinformation.* That is what CinemaSins does, they make factual, objectively provable, not-just-an-opinion errors. Also, I don't understand why you think movies aren't a part of real life and thus anyone who talks about them has no responsibility to be correct or avoid spreading misinformation. Movies are a part of reality, they're projections of light, which is real, on a screen, which is also real. They features actors and sets which are real, even CGI films are real. If I say Toy Story is about a serial killer in small-town USA, that's wrong and it's perfectly reasonable for someone to call me out on my lie. You don't get to just say "It's okay that he lied to you, because movies aren't real." That isn't how anything works. If you do not accept that film criticism is every bit as open to criticism as anything else in the world, then I suspect there's no point to further discussion.
@@Shenaldrac I'll get to the art part of the discourse later, for now let's say that I decide to call Trump "the orange in chief" cause I find it funny, we should all agree that whether you like it or not it's a form of criticism meant to be funny, is factually correct? No, last time I checked he was still human (somehow)! Does it matter? No, I'm making fun of something! If you don't like it you can listen to someone else. This said cinema is most definitely a form of art: "a piece of creativity targeted at conveying beauty or emotions" and as you can read anything in it, no matter its real intent was; an example: In the greenish hue on the skin of a impressionist portrait ( e.g. bal au moulin de la gallette), I could see the flesh rotting instead of interpreting it as the reflection of the light from the leaves around, as such I *joke* that "the Zombie is enjoying a coffee" you'd be doubly wrong in correcting me: you're firstly trying to correct my personal interpretation of a piece of art and you'd, secondly, totally miss the joke. That's CinemaSins, they interpret a piece of art and try to make jokes on it.
William Fischer And he does it totally tongue in cheek just for a laugh and to poke fun at everyone, including himself xD It's great. Have you seen the one where he's showing how people film scenes in which two or more characters played by the same person are interacting with each other/themselves seamlessly? ... And used a 3D animated character to show how it works? x'D Oh man that had me laughing, that's such a cheeky sense of humour, the amount of effort that goes into these videos is just phenomenal, and the presentation is seriously addictive, haha.
You rarely can find this quality of VFX in god damn B class or Indie movies... and this guy works them into fucking youtube video just for lulz! I have learned vfx my own, but it would take me a month of full on work to get that level of production quality O.o Sure i'm not expert and my quality is average at best, but damn his good!
12:41 I love how he just made his "costume" make a little more sense by making that line between his human mask and his metal skin be like the little seeping mass that goes from fact to fiction. I admire you cap
And the song on the end was "wij houden van oranje" dutch football song which originated from Auld lang Syne. My comment was corrected by Dante van Gemert so shoutout to him.
Captain D, super entertaining content. Keep the skepticism going. It's refreshing to see the impossible debunked. We live in the real world. Reality is amazing enough without the deception. Great work!
Man, i love how you debunk a video. and put MORE visual effort into explaining it then the entire video applied to theirs. Believing in crazy shit is something humans do so well. Was it not some researcher that found out the more crazy something seems. the more likely people will start believing it. something that has to do with people WANTING to believe it.
Yes thank you. That fact is really important to put out there and keep in mind. It's called magical thinking. I'm pretty sure Freud was the one to coin it.
Came here from the h3 podcast and OMG Ethan is right this is the best produced series of videos on UA-cam I have ever seen. This channel diserves sooooooo much more recognition.
I laughed so hard at 3:34 its not even funny... Been having a rough week. I need that, thank you! Just decovered your channel and have been binging it for hours. So informative and the comedy is so greatly executed. And your use of visual effects is down right amazing!
We all realize that CaptainDisillusion decides to debunk the VFX on the Internet instead of making it huge owning a business or working on million-dollar blockbusters. What amazing dedication, hats off to you.
alittalien I was at Target shopping for Christmas and a worker started telling me about the Cicret and was convinced it was real. I was "ooh baby let mama inform you" and showed him Captains video.
The end was hilarious. Captain, your videos have always amused me. And you're absolutely correct about the "we know this is fake" comments. I remember correctly that on your first few videos, years ago, your first comments were mostly "this is stupid and pointless, everyone knows it's fake." And even "you will never grow with a pointless channel like yours." I hope the people that said that a decade ago can see you now. ;) I appreciate all the work you put into your videos. Find me someone who puts this much effort into their UA-cam content. Edit: It's trending now!
lengua muerta, just saw some of Need City's videos. Seems like that channel puts a lot of effort as well! Though, when it comes to the visuals, I can't find greater content quality than that of the Captain's. In the end both channels put great work into their videos and I wanna see more UA-camrs like that!
Well, yeah. Because that means more Captain Disillusion videos debunking or pointing them out. Don't you guys want that? Yeah, I am that half glass full type of guy hahaha.
The most impressive thing about this channel is that the guy never fails to paint his face. How many hours must he have spent putting that greasy makeup on and washing it off, just for the sake of our entertainment and education? A million points for dedication!
I'm pretty sure the whole point of his character is that the painted part is the real part (his character is an alien) and the top part of his head (without makeup) is his 'mask'.
Entertaining, insightful, and thought-provoking video. Hilarious, and yet a serious call to use reason once again. It should be clear why we need Captain Disillusion now more than ever.
Obviously the portal was fake, everyone could see that! What I'm confused about is how everyone seems to be glossing over how CaptainDisillusion manges to summon a custard pie! Seriously, Infinite custard pies! Is he tapping into the 𝛑 dimension? We need more research on the matter!
Captain D, the amount of effort that goes into these videos is 100% noticed and appreciated. This (and all the other videos) are informative, while being really entertaining to watch, thanks to your clever use of humour and fantastic video editing. I just love when you deconstruct stuff and make it look so easy. Oh and by the way, the portal thing is an old classic. I'm an applied physicist and we open portals to the underworld and let demons and reptiles in everyday!
You have a lot of great videos, Capitain Disillusion, but this is easily your best. Your best humor, an extremely good point about disinformation, and the explanation for your costume. I really wish I could give this video more than one thumb up.
I'm rewatching CD videos and this one made me remember how much I hated that Dear David bullshit. A lot of my friends thought it was real and called me "cynical" for thinking (knowing??) it was fake.
lewandowska yeah, especially with the homunculus, literally everyone I know think it’s real and keep thinking that I’m stupid. They even want to try it themselves, and what happened is, obviously they failed, and then say that they’re wrong at doing it and still don’t want to realize that the video is fake. Now I realize, how flat earther could get so many believers, people always believe everything they see
Worse than ever in the paranormal world. Like with Franko Tv totally being caught faking and people still believe he doesn't. I understand how fake news can prosper and I have to double check information That I wou9ldn't normally because I know I can be duped too and that's disconcerting
12:37 can we just take a moment to apreciate the subtle yet funny roast (literally) to the cicret bracelet? man small details like these is why this channel is gold.
I'd say there is a film in there... Ridley Scott: Homunculus is a missing link to our alien progenitors which as it evolves gets progressively difficult to control. Till [plot spoilers...] Michael Bay: Ill advised experiments on the creature cause it to mutate and grow to twice the size of a human and predatory... Lots of chases and explosions ensue. Peter Jackson: Six part epic adventure as the homunculus discovers it's place in the world. Well panoramic New Zealand. Edgar Write: Buddy movie where homunculus (Nick Frost) and home-brew scientist (Simon Pegg) have a fast paced adventure evading government scientists, bent on taking homunculus for their own science. Cue lots of comic violence. JJ Abrams: Lots of lens flare
I've heard "432 Hz is the more natural pitch" and even "432 Hz has mystical properties of rationality" but I've not yet heard of "432 Hz has the ability to open wormholes in my bedroom" until today
Thanks a ton Captain, here's to an even better trip around the sun! Just so very sad that such an amazing channel with top tier content has about half a million subscribers when so many absolute jokers spewing nonsense have millions and millions. This is the year they will see the light and bring all the love your way.
Props to you keeping your impeccable practice of pronouncing perfect names of non-American origin. My grandfather's name is Ignatiy from Samara, and, should I make up some VFX shit, you are sure to grace the Web with perfect pronounciation of that name.
That last comment about ARG-style fiction makes me very curious to see what a conversation between Captain Disillusion and youtubers like Nightmind and Reignbot would look like...

I tried to exit out of it, then I realized what it was
I got as far as the X while muttering. Ugh. And got a pleasant surprise when my hate waves made it explode.
I scrolled down for this comment. Hehe.
The production and quality of this video is better than anything else I've seen on UA-cam by a long shot holy cow
Dana Dee Doe yeah, captain D has been far underrated for the last 10 years
Honestly as I re-watch all of these I think.. "I don't know if I'd rather have fewer videos at this amazing and solely unique level of quality, or more videos with a slightly lower level of polish and dedication." I mean, he didn't _have_ to recreate a bedroom... but he did. For us. That's why we love the Cap. The one True Captain. America, Marvel, Planet, Crunch, Morgan, Jack Sparrow, Nemo, Picard and even John Keating! (Yes. He counts. O' Captain my Captain.) All of them be damned. Disillusion is the one. True. Captain.
Thank you Captain Disillusion.
Yep. Quality > quantity
Thanks, Cap.
So... Quality before Quantity?
Oh captain is Lincoln, so don't get me wrong I love D, by the Abe invented the coins.
Dang, that comment making me wanna stand up on a desk.
“Do you really want to go to 2017?” Yes captain, we do 😔
I bet your nerves were shaking on the pie-to-the-face take lol. Hopefully that was first try. I love your videos, man.
Maybe it was just VFX. Lol jk
Why would he be shaking huh
Colin Cain Because if he messed up, he’d have to redo his face paint to get another take
@@annoyingkid48 yeah tan face paint is sorta rare
MaskedKoopaKid1453 Ok, I get you’re being sarcastic, obviously it’s not rare, but it’s still expensive and difficult to make it look as realistic as CD does, especially on top of chrome like that.
Thank you for a decade of content. :)
I was wondering why CD picked such an obviously fake case to debunk, but then the real theme of the video emerged. Excellent work Captain.
That ending, heck. Feels. To many more
Captain D: do you really want another 2017?
Everyone in 2020 and 2021: dear god yes
The guy goes to that length to make a worm hole. Silly peasant, I have a compost pile full of worm holes.
HA ha!!! I have some worm holes in some old books, too!
I have so many I hang them up as Halloween decorations.
Howcome loads of ppl have that picture? Who and where is that pic from?
I used to have worms in my compost pile. Then one day they all disappeared...but they did send me a nice postcard from Sedona.
how long do people need to realize the reference to your username lmao
Most underrated channel on youtube
2018 goal, get captain D to a million subs.
No way. YOU'RE the most underrated channel on UA-cam.
Nobody's heard of the most underrated channel on UA-cam.
You can say that again
I'd have to assumed the most underrated channel would have a single sub?
*re-making an entire bedroom, let yourself get hit by a pie while wearing a *LOT* of face paint and making a creepy girl painting.
*Now that's dedication*
you think that was a real bedroom? cute ^^
Is it even face paint though?
The painting? Greenscreen. The room? Greenscreen. ITS A GREENSCREEN
@@bayblademaster697 the room isn't a greenscreen you dipshit and if you're a patreon you could actualy see someone applying the face paint.
And how tf do you put a greenscreen in your face to make it look like it's an actual facepaint?
@@CatLivesNite r/woooosh
also you do know that green screen effects work on anything that's green right?
You know, that bit at the end about the blurring reminds me of Cinema Sins and how a ton of people that defend them (and they themselves have claimed) with the argument of "it's not meant to be real criticism, and anyway people can totally tell". And your thing about how that kind of fuzziness can be dangerous, that really hits home to me. Thank you.
That's a false equivalence if I ever seen one, CinenaSins whether you like it or not doesn't say anything factual or that can be construed as such: it's based on works of fiction and as such nothing they claim is a matter of fact and given that's satire is not made to make anyone comfortable if you don't like what they say or how they say it you can either express your thought in a civil manner or outright close the video and go on with your day.
@@paolorubenmastretta Uh.... they do say things that are factually incorrect though. For example they'll claim that something doesn't make sense and ding it, but the film _does_ actually explain that thing. That's factually incorrect. They will also sometimes intentionally edit footage to make things look worse than they really are in the film, to support the "sins" they wish to assign to it.
Then, when they are called out for this, sometimes people will claim that it's "just satire" and that "everyone can tell it's not real criticism, it's just for fun" despite, if you look into the comments, you can see people commenting saying they hadn't realized the film was so bad and they wouldn't go see it. So it clearly is having an effect on people. This is similar to what is shown in this video, where people claim that "well it's not like anyone really believes it" and Captain Disillusion shows that, yes actually, some people do end up believing it is real. Even if Cinemasins or their followers claim it's satire, they put no disclaimer on their videos saying as such, and some people do end up thinking it is meant as genuine criticism.
Also, I *am* expressing my thoughts in a civil manner right now, so I'm not sure why you brought that up. That's what I'm doing. Being critical isn't incompatible with being civil. Being civil doesn't mean brown nosing.
@@Shenaldrac Let's rephrase your objection: If I say that a work of abstract art makes no sense am I stating something factual or am I expressing my opinion? That's the point! Cinema is a form of art and opinion about it are just that opinions you cannot force them, or anyone else for that matter, to agree with you because, and I cannot stress this enough, discussing movies is not the same a making claims on real life and be it genuine criticism or not, it's not their responsibility in any way shape or form to be right.
Speaking of civil discourse, I see you do and I appreciate it, what I was referring was the fact that many of the comments I've seen attacking CinenaSins were less than decent let's say, I'll let slide the last accusation cause I'm not here to pick a fight.
@@paolorubenmastretta
"Cinema is a form of art" Debatable, given art's definition is fuzzy at best. But even so, your example is flawed. While saying "this makes no sense" might be an opinion, if you say "This painting is made with water colors" that can be a *factual error* if it isn't a water color painting. If it was done with pastels then what you have said is factually wrong, and it is perfectly valid of someone to point out that you are spreading *factual misinformation.*
That is what CinemaSins does, they make factual, objectively provable, not-just-an-opinion errors.
Also, I don't understand why you think movies aren't a part of real life and thus anyone who talks about them has no responsibility to be correct or avoid spreading misinformation. Movies are a part of reality, they're projections of light, which is real, on a screen, which is also real. They features actors and sets which are real, even CGI films are real. If I say Toy Story is about a serial killer in small-town USA, that's wrong and it's perfectly reasonable for someone to call me out on my lie. You don't get to just say "It's okay that he lied to you, because movies aren't real." That isn't how anything works.
If you do not accept that film criticism is every bit as open to criticism as anything else in the world, then I suspect there's no point to further discussion.
@@Shenaldrac I'll get to the art part of the discourse later, for now let's say that I decide to call Trump "the orange in chief" cause I find it funny, we should all agree that whether you like it or not it's a form of criticism meant to be funny, is factually correct? No, last time I checked he was still human (somehow)! Does it matter? No, I'm making fun of something! If you don't like it you can listen to someone else. This said cinema is most definitely a form of art: "a piece of creativity targeted at conveying beauty or emotions" and as you can read anything in it, no matter its real intent was; an example: In the greenish hue on the skin of a impressionist portrait ( e.g. bal au moulin de la gallette), I could see the flesh rotting instead of interpreting it as the reflection of the light from the leaves around, as such I *joke* that "the Zombie is enjoying a coffee" you'd be doubly wrong in correcting me: you're firstly trying to correct my personal interpretation of a piece of art and you'd, secondly, totally miss the joke. That's CinemaSins, they interpret a piece of art and try to make jokes on it.

I like how most of the time your vfx far surpass those of the videos you destroy 😂
William Fischer And he does it totally tongue in cheek just for a laugh and to poke fun at everyone, including himself xD It's great. Have you seen the one where he's showing how people film scenes in which two or more characters played by the same person are interacting with each other/themselves seamlessly? ... And used a 3D animated character to show how it works? x'D Oh man that had me laughing, that's such a cheeky sense of humour, the amount of effort that goes into these videos is just phenomenal, and the presentation is seriously addictive, haha.
for sure man!
William Fischer Right?? Captain D is the only D I'll cop xD

You rarely can find this quality of VFX in god damn B class or Indie movies... and this guy works them into fucking youtube video just for lulz! I have learned vfx my own, but it would take me a month of full on work to get that level of production quality O.o Sure i'm not expert and my quality is average at best, but damn his good!
12:41 I love how he just made his "costume" make a little more sense by making that line between his human mask and his metal skin be like the little seeping mass that goes from fact to fiction. I admire you cap
Dafuq did you actually watch the video lol?? It's his "human" *fiction* that actually seeps into his "cyborg" *facts* . Look again at 12;33.

Captain D, super entertaining content. Keep the skepticism going. It's refreshing to see the impossible debunked. We live in the real world. Reality is amazing enough without the deception. Great work!
Man, i love how you debunk a video. and put MORE visual effort into explaining it then the entire video applied to theirs.
Believing in crazy shit is something humans do so well. Was it not some researcher that found out the more crazy something seems. the more likely people will start believing it. something that has to do with people WANTING to believe it.
Yes thank you. That fact is really important to put out there and keep in mind.
It's called magical thinking. I'm pretty sure Freud was the one to coin it.
Best day of 2018 so far!

Came here from the h3 podcast and OMG Ethan is right this is the best produced series of videos on UA-cam I have ever seen. This channel diserves sooooooo much more recognition.
Found the deep state plant /s
I laughed so hard at 3:34 its not even funny... Been having a rough week. I need that, thank you!
Just decovered your channel and have been binging it for hours. So informative and the comedy is so greatly executed. And your use of visual effects is down right amazing!
what
We all realize that CaptainDisillusion decides to debunk the VFX on the Internet instead of making it huge owning a business or working on million-dollar blockbusters. What amazing dedication, hats off to you.
Marcos Gonzalez (little secret..... He does and he has)
Hahaha, the venom in this post amuses me. Could only imagine what he did to inspire such a thing but I'm sure its deserved. :3
I thought that was a real Cicret ad...

that Cicret bracelet cameo though
alittalien I was at Target shopping for Christmas and a worker started telling me about the Cicret and was convinced it was real. I was "ooh baby let mama inform you" and showed him Captains video.
It's not a cameo, though. When you learn to view unsubstantiated videos with more credibility, people take advantage of that to slip in their own aim.

The end was hilarious. Captain, your videos have always amused me. And you're absolutely correct about the "we know this is fake" comments. I remember correctly that on your first few videos, years ago, your first comments were mostly "this is stupid and pointless, everyone knows it's fake." And even "you will never grow with a pointless channel like yours." I hope the people that said that a decade ago can see you now. ;)
I appreciate all the work you put into your videos. Find me someone who puts this much effort into their UA-cam content.
Edit: It's trending now!
If he has never failed to disappoint... that means he has always succeeded in disappointing you
Oh crap, touché...
Grammar matters.
Also, I bet those people feel foolish now, 500k+ subs and growing.
Find you someone that puts this much effort in their videos.. well, right away Nerd city comes to mind.
lengua muerta, just saw some of Need City's videos. Seems like that channel puts a lot of effort as well! Though, when it comes to the visuals, I can't find greater content quality than that of the Captain's. In the end both channels put great work into their videos and I wanna see more UA-camrs like that!
2017 was the last year I felt real happiness, so yes, maybe I do want another 2017.
Freaking same. It all went downhill right about there.
"do you really want another 2017?" oh god. oh god
Kat Reynolds i read this at the same exact time the captain said it
Well, yeah. Because that means more Captain Disillusion videos debunking or pointing them out.
Don't you guys want that?
Yeah, I am that half glass full type of guy hahaha.
I don't get the whole "last year was the worst!!!" thing
Kat Reynolds TBH I would love another 2017
well 2017 was pretty great, but 2018 will be just like 2017 but even more so!
6:30 That custard pie shot is beautiful!
"Do you really want another 2017?"
Little did the Captain know, 2018 would be much, much worse.
And in 2019, sadly fortnite is still going strong
how?
wait.. what was wrong with 2017?
R34 Productionz and in 2020 things get a hell of a lot worse just you wait. (Donald trump gets added to fort nite)
2017 was actually a very good year for me lol
I can’t believe how high quality these videos are. I would def watch a full TV series of Captain Disillusion!
Congrats on 500,000 subs! Here's to a million!
The most impressive thing about this channel is that the guy never fails to paint his face. How many hours must he have spent putting that greasy makeup on and washing it off, just for the sake of our entertainment and education? A million points for dedication!
Tim Laursen yeah it looks exactly like human skin.
That's his real skin. 100% real.
To be fair he probably does quite a few takes too. Quite a few takes and more then one video at a time. That's impressive.
@borf borf C'mon man. Can't you see the eyeliner? It's so obvious!
I'm pretty sure the whole point of his character is that the painted part is the real part (his character is an alien) and the top part of his head (without makeup) is his 'mask'.
CD: "DO YOU REALLY WANT ANOTHER 2017?"
Me, hiding in a bunker during COVID: "Yes. Yes, I would love that."
Hoo boy I miss the innocent days of COVID.
2017 was great
2016 was better since everyone was crazy about fnaf.(Oh, how i miss those days)
No, you want a good year, not a less bad year.
2017 x 2020 = we all know which is worse (2020)
"I don't know things or talk to people. I stare at videos." Relatable
Entertaining, insightful, and thought-provoking video. Hilarious, and yet a serious call to use reason once again. It should be clear why we need Captain Disillusion now more than ever.
I love how you use special effects to fake poorly implemented special effects.
oh the irony
Right!? He's fuckin leagues above so, so many of those internet tutorial "experts"
I don't get it
the homunculus was good, until he started adding eyes. Totally broke my immersion. uncanny valley galore.
If he'd just used dark spots, like the eyes of actual primitive animals, or the developing eyes of embryos, it would have worked much better.
Can we get a video on the homunculi

Watching in 2021: *"YES!!!!"*
What I love in this channel are the monologues at the end of the videos. Well played Captain!
Obviously the portal was fake, everyone could see that! What I'm confused about is how everyone seems to be glossing over how CaptainDisillusion manges to summon a custard pie!
Seriously, Infinite custard pies! Is he tapping into the 𝛑 dimension? We need more research on the matter!
😂😂😂 real! All real! (Jk)
Captain D, the amount of effort that goes into these videos is 100% noticed and appreciated. This (and all the other videos) are informative, while being really entertaining to watch, thanks to your clever use of humour and fantastic video editing. I just love when you deconstruct stuff and make it look so easy.
Oh and by the way, the portal thing is an old classic. I'm an applied physicist and we open portals to the underworld and let demons and reptiles in everyday!
Swiftstalk Can you send Trump back?
We did that back in high school, people have been creating resonance cascades since the 90s.
You have a lot of great videos, Capitain Disillusion, but this is easily your best. Your best humor, an extremely good point about disinformation, and the explanation for your costume. I really wish I could give this video more than one thumb up.
Call me a skeptic if you must, but something tells me this guy isn't really a half robot who lives in a space station.
Matt Graller because he’s not half anything. He is a robot Demi god!
Colin Antink But..."demi" means half :o
Letz Potato I got a word wrong wooops!
Well duh. He's all robot. The "half" you're referring to is just a human flesh mask that covers the top part of his face, like Batman's cowl.
No he's half human ya nut.
God that homonculus video is my favorite, "BLYAT" *smash*
I'm rewatching CD videos and this one made me remember how much I hated that Dear David bullshit. A lot of my friends thought it was real and called me "cynical" for thinking (knowing??) it was fake.
That's disconcerting.
lewandowska yeah, especially with the homunculus, literally everyone I know think it’s real and keep thinking that I’m stupid. They even want to try it themselves, and what happened is, obviously they failed, and then say that they’re wrong at doing it and still don’t want to realize that the video is fake. Now I realize, how flat earther could get so many believers, people always believe everything they see
freedom of speech Like Abraham Lincoln said, “You can’t trust every thing you see on the internet”.
@@aa-ir6si that's the truest thing I have seen on the Internet
Worse than ever in the paranormal world. Like with Franko Tv totally being caught faking and people still believe he doesn't. I understand how fake news can prosper and I have to

12:37 can we just take a moment to apreciate the subtle yet funny roast (literally) to the cicret bracelet?
man small details like these is why this channel is gold.
I tried to click it away and wondered why I couldn't. Oh Cap, you magnificient halfhumanfacepainted being!
Rewatching Captain D's videos, I just realized why he's painting his face silver at 12:36.
wow that's actually really clever, probably wouldn't have thought of this myself
holy shit, you're right!

Ridley Scott: Homunculus is a missing link to our alien progenitors which as it evolves gets progressively difficult to control. Till [plot spoilers...]
Michael Bay: Ill advised experiments on the creature cause it to mutate and grow to twice the size of a human and predatory... Lots of chases and explosions ensue.
Peter Jackson: Six part epic adventure as the homunculus discovers it's place in the world. Well panoramic New Zealand.
Edgar Write: Buddy movie where homunculus (Nick Frost) and home-brew scientist (Simon Pegg) have a fast paced adventure evading government scientists, bent on taking homunculus for their own science. Cue lots of comic violence.
JJ Abrams: Lots of lens flare
Maybe involving somehow splicing human and animal DNA... say, from a small child and a pet, perhaps?
