Ha! This was a fun watch. I love that you managed to make a video about our series that is literally longer than every episode played back to back. Anyway, I *was* Captain S; AMA. Also if you want to see the “old” adventures of Captain S I could certainly make it happen. But it’s lost to time for good reason.
Also there was another failed attempt at a second season in 2013. Devon and I teamed up on our own and envisioned a less campy, slightly more adult second season and even raised a little money and shot a pilot, but unfortunately never finished editing it. Captain S is just unfortunately the kind of show that would either require significant financial backing from someone or a group of people who don’t need to worry about money while they’re making the show.
Anyway, I’d be happy to talk to you more about the show if you had any questions. I could also easily rip/burn the DVDs for you if you wanted so you could get all that SWEET SWEET EXTRA CONTENT!
Also, let it be known that the Nerd jokes you liked in the Christmas special when he’s stuck in Home Alone were all written by yours truly. SUCK IT, JAMES! (Miss you buddy!)
Loved the show back in the day. I'd love to get a copy of the DVD or a rip of it, since it's a show I remember fondly in early UA-cam days. Had the MP3 files of the music as well. 👍
Would you be willing to do a further interview with Dylan or another creator regarding the series, would love to hear about meeting/working with James, Doug and their crew. I actually first saw your series off the triple crossover you guys had, anyways, wish you all the best!
@@Alienhos way ahead of you 😉
It's cool you're still involved in the fanbase regardless of how long it's been since it was ongoing. Good to hear from you, hope everything is well.
If the footage still exists for that 2013 pilot I humbly offer to edit it for free
Say what you will about the quality of Captain S as a show, these folks were wildly ahead of their time and were far beyond what most were capable of. It's easy to poke fun of now, but this was 2006, way before a lot of the modern conveniences we have now, which I think makes the fact that they made a pretty accurate re-creation of your typical 90's sitcom very impressive. Yeah it ain't a great show, I can't see myself actually sitting down and watching it unless I'm drunk, but it's definitely cool for what it is and it's a shame that it never got a chance to expand beyond it's initial first season. While I don't think it would have ever been on the level of AVGN or Nostalgia Critic, I do think it could've had the potential to have generated a decent following of dedicated fans. Anyways, great job deep diving this show, I love learning about old internet stuff like this.
Captain S feels like a time capsule of content creation in the 2000s: pure passion, cheesy humor, low quality, but ambitious regardless of the limitations of content creation back then.
I have nothing but respect for PBC productions, end of the day they just wanted to produce an entertaining show that differentiated itself from gaming content back then.
The amount of love I have for Captain S will always be high. Got all the episodes downloaded, copied, backed up, and stored in a vault in case the world comes to an end.
A True Sega chad you are.
"Chad Belmont" legit might be the funniest name I've ever heard in hindsight.
The lost descendant of Simon Belmont who ironically never goes toe-to-toe with Dracula despite the Castlevania riff in the season 1 finale.
The most chaddiest chad of all the Belmont lineage
Dylan somehow manages to talk about individuals I've never heard of in my life and still hook me in every single time. I could legit listen to him talk about cardboard for an hour and I'd still find myself fascinated.
Thank you! lol
Nintendo LABO mini-episode when, Mr. Owl? 😹
Captain S will always be one of my favorite show in the classic ScrewAttack days. Miss those guys. 20k for a second season would have been the biggest investment we ever made in production. It was definitely an investment based on my personal faith in PBC. It just didn't work out. I would love to catch up with those guys soon.
Was playing the Amico as fun as you acted like at the Texas Video Game Museum?
Captain: Shill
Okay, so I held off of watching this video because I have a very personal connection with the this series. But I'm honestly glad that I finally did.
My brother is best friends with the actors who played Nes and Lunk, Devon and Shael Riley. And I can distinctly remember how happy and excited they were during the shows run. I was 15, but I can still remember how big of a deal it was for them.
By brother was even working on a special Captain S fan video using the PC game The Movies, and got the character models to look like all the cast members. But it was never really finished.
Seeing all this again after all these years really brought up a special sense of nostalgia for me. I nearly cried every time the music was played.
Captain S is a very special part of my childhood, mainly because of how close I was to the two people involved. I looked up to them and it was amazing seeing them in an internet show next to AVGN.
Thank you for reminding me of good times.
Everytime someone plays the Captain S soundtrack an angel gets his wings.
Captain S is like that really obscure, yet entirely delightful indie movie that you try to share around in the hopes that maybe it’ll get a little more attention, but sadly it never does. I found about it through Derek Alexander (formerly known as the Happy Video Game Nerd, now Stop Skeletons From Fighting) mostly because he would always have a Captain S poster in the background of his videos, so I decided to check it out, and thought it was awesome. But by then, the series was already dead and everyone had moved on. Such a shame.
That's pretty cool! (Never knew he was into Captain S or at least used to be lol.
@@DylantheKnightOwl I don't know about now, but back in the day, Derek was the kind of guy who knew a lot of people back in the day. He met James on a few occasions, and he said that the nicest thing he could say about him was "He never cared" when it came to people being inspired by the Nerd.
His intro drew ideas from "Full House". You can tell from the style of text, and from the actors turning and smiling, a common trait of 90's sitcom intros.
That's a name I haven't heard in a loooooooooong time. That AVGN crossover episode feels like one of those sitcom jokes that no one gets nowadays.
“He’s Captain S,
And he is one hell of a guy,
He’s Captain S,
Be glad that he is on our side.”
"And now he's fighting side-by-side... with the ANGRIEST GAMER you've EVER HEARD." Sorry.
When you just watched the 6 hour AVGN episode, and discover theres a 2 hour episode for Captain S.
Finished watching it, i enjoyed it. Great bits of info and overview of the series. Glenn Case's music is awesome.
Thank you! Lol and yeah Glenn Case is a legend.
1:28:40 That's the Sega Menacer, it was Sega's answer to the Super Scope (and evidently far less iconic!). So its basically just throwing in another, somewhat hyped but ultimately flopped Sega accessory to the mix. I guess you could call it a deeper cut for the Sega fans, though none of that's going to really address the plot contrivances of its sudden reveal. =p
They could have made a whole thing about it being a fabled replacement for the old Master System Light Phaser.
Man what a retrospective! I was in the same boat as you, I had a positive view of the show but I never went out of my way to rewatch the series. The show looked like it really picked up halfway through, and man, that killer soundtrack. Appreciate you giving it recognition whenever it came up!
I wanted to buy the captain S dvd back then, but I was in highschool at the time with no money. I did at least get the awesome video games dvd. A video on them could be interesting.
Ness reminds me so much of Charlie playing an evil character in an episode of Always Sunny, The actor looks like him, has the same mannerisms and everything. Love him
He also does a good Vergil impression
Damn this unlocked so many memories I completly forgot about, especially Little Miss Gamer. She was so wholesome and creative cause her true gig was a puppeteer. As Captain S, I remember there were crazy rumors circulating about why it didnt get a 2nd season on the old Screwattack forums. Good to know that after all these years I got the real answer. I might actually rewatch it since its been 15 years. Great video as always.
Thank you! And yeah sometimes the most simple answer is the true one, they just couldn't get together to get it done.
And yeah I'd recommend it, it's a fun walk down memory lane.
I enjoyed this episode. As for the retrospective on TGWTG/Channel Awesome, well, there's gonna be quite a lot to digest. I do wonder if it will mention Asalieri? From what I remember, he was the one who initially reported on the dark side of Channel Awesome. The organization could have been exposed long ago in 2011, but Linkara and Obscurus Lupa dismissed everything Asa said. Fast forward to 2018, and the very same things they dismissed from Asa, they wrote about in that document.
I entered Asalieri's "Whenever the Hell Reviewer Contest" back in 2011, and I won by one point. The most flattering thing was that Asa shot a video of him and the judges laughing at and enjoying my video, and that's a helluva compliment considering I could have easily been an RAR subject.
Only 5K views. That seals it. I'm joining the Patreon tonight for the max 10 dollars when I get off work. Mark my world Dylan. You're the first person I'll ever support on Patreon. I just finished the video and all this content is so good. Been watching since AVGN retrospective started. I remember Spax, Kuta, Captain S. I look forward to supporting you and joining the Discord.
Thank you so much!
Easily my favorite IF episode.
I started watching, not knowing anything about Captain S. And next thing I knew I cared about the characters and wanted to see them succeed. Plus NES was a suprisingly good villain ngl.
Very true! lol
I only remember him from the Doug Walker/ AVGN "feud" but I am watching this regardless.
Dylan made such a great lasting impression with me on his AVGN retrospective, he is such a charismatic guy that I will watch any of his videos now.
"Pretty obviously the 'N' in 'Captain N' standing for ..."
Dr. Neo Cortex, of course.
Great intro. 😊
Been waiting for this one. I watched an episode of Captain S after his mention in your AVGN video and it was pretty comfy. 2000s video game kino.
Really enjoying your content man.
I watched all 5 hours of your avgn video yesterday. 10/10
Thank you!
I really enjoy learning about internet figures of the 2000s and you manage to get me hook me in this long videos.
P.D: That's Persona 1 original ost! 23:12
P.P.D: 2:11:39 That's Theresia Ost
I used to watch this show all the time on Screwattack, caught the AVGN crossover back in '07, and personally felt Brett gave the best performance during that AVGN Roast.
Very cool video, hope he's doing okay.
The fact that the villain is holding Game Genies like they’re brass knuckles is S tier writing
Haven't finished the video yet, but I absolutely adore you dissecting the time-frame in which the series takes place. Overthinking simplistic webseries like this really resonates with me.
lmao thank you.
This feels like something straight out of the 80’s
Captain S was dope
I know I'm late but that gun is "Sega Menacer it's light gun peripheral released by Sega in 1992 for its Sega Genesis and Sega CD video game consoles. It was created in response to Nintendo's Super Scope.
Having first heard of this series from your AVGN video, it is nice to see you cover it in full, as it is something I had never heard of it before. It's really nice to see someone covering these old internet series/personalities as they really are interesting stories and you tell them very well, being engaging throughout.
While this may not be fair, as I have only seen this series through this video (wish I could have been there for the discord group watch), my thoughts more or less mirror yours based on what I've seen with the series having interesting ideas, impressive effects, fantastic music, and some entertaining performances from the villains, but it sadly ends up also being pretty boring.
I mentioned in your Spax video that I found the highlights of that video being the clips of Spax doing something outlandish. Here it is the opposite where for the most part my brain was tuning out the clips of the show.
Knowing when this series came out seems to be very important in judging its quality as it does more or less feel like a trip down memory lane while also being impressive for the time. Maybe had they continued, the series could have found its footing, but seeing the ideas for season 2, it may have just been a big mess. As it is, I'm not surprised nobody talks about the series.
@1:44:30 Seeing the chemistry with AVGN and Captain S, I think it shows how much a good foil can really make a senario entertaining. Honestly, I'd argue not having a character with the sort of energy that AVGN has really harms the series overall now that I think about it.
Kind of a shame to see how the series ended. The fact that people were interested shows that the series may have become something bigger than it became. Time truly is malicious.
Best of luck with the Nostalgia Critic videos. Not surprised to hear that they will be separate parts because, oh lord, there's a lot to cover. Best of luck with all your other projects as well.
I never realized what a big influence the series Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad was on Captain S. It's a sort of Power Rangers-style adaptation of a different Japanese show called Gridman the Hyper Agent. The Game Genie's inflection and the use of the term "meat thing" are 100% based on that. Even Nes's appearance is based on the antagonist there. Weird.
Woah! I'm so happy this came out. This is my favorite format. Keep them coming.
Thank you!
Wow. This brings back so many early UA-cam memories. My favorite was Little Miss Gamer, such an under rated series.
Would've loved a season 2 of this. The camp activates the MMPR center of my brain and fills me with childlike wonder, for some reason, combined with the (to me, at least) very MMPR-insert-song-esque OST does something to me.
I feel painfully nostalgic for this show, even though I did you watch it when it was coming out, my English was very basic at the time and I wouldn't be able to appreciate it.
That gun is just Sega Menacer, Dylan
This made me so happy to find, you took me way back. Thanks for the video and you are 100% right that theme song was a banger and still gets stuck in my head!
God, this takes me back. Captain S was one of the first web shows that I loved enough to buy the DVDs, and I still have the songs "I Want To Be Lazy" & "Conflict Approaches" on my workout list.
EDIT: Holy cats, Little Miss Gamer! I forgot about that entirely, yet I know I watched it regularly.
I heard you mention doing one on Captain S either during the AVGN documentary or the interview with Red Cow Arcade, I'm so glad it's finally done!
Thanks for chatting with us during the premiere! Love you Dylan!
It was a really good show and had a lot of heart. I still watch it every year. Had even ordered the discs through their website at the height of its popularity. Still got them. Thanks for posting.
Damn. I loved this series back in the day. Cool to see not everyone's forgotten it.
Brett said in the interview that a new season would need a huge budget to create Video Land, and that he still envisions Captain S as a high school kid. The obvious solution would be an animated sequel, which would be cheaper to produce than live action VFX, plus the original actors could return to voice their characters. Anyway, I understand everyone moved on with their life, but it's a fun idea to toy around with.
Even though I barely remember this show back then, it is a great throwback to the past despite its cons. #FreeTheOGChad
I'm so happy you decided to cover Captain S. I tried to get into it back when it was new but never gave it a solid chance. This video inspired me to finally give it a go. Awesome retrospective Dylan!
Thank you so much!
I'm really excited about this. Captain S is so freaking weird.
I loved PBC Productions back in the day. Captain S and Little Miss Gamer were pretty decent shows in comparison to the competition at the time. That they were the only kid friendly show in that bracket that I know of and that gave them an extra charm in a way. Yes, there were pacing problems in the Captain S episodes, but I'm sure those could have been ironed out in later seasons. Also I never understood how the AVGN xmas crossover didn't give them more exposure. I was sad when they folded but I guess a lot of them went on to other interesting jobs, like pursuing puppetry. Still hard to believe that I subscribed to their UA-cam channel 15 years ago.
I found myself thinking about Captain S today, and went to YT to see if I could watch it again.
I found this. Yeah, I'm very ready for a 2 hour retrospective documentary on this.
Man, I LOVED Captain S... If only it came back into existence.
I have the most vague memories of this show, never watched it at the time and found this production so very entertaining. I know this Dylan fellow must get tons of recommendations but I'd love to see a deep dive about another youtube saga; that of coolduder, MJ Kelly, and the Don and Murph show. It's just as bizarre as Captain S.
I remember having so much fun watching this series. The theme song alone was enough of a nostalgia trip. Another internet show that I used to watch back in the day called "Life in a Game" was pretty fun too. Not sure if you've heard of that one.
considering the amount of stuff that happened to the Nostalgia Critic (retirement, Demo Reel, out of retirement, controversies with other contributors of Channel Awesome), the total of time dedicated to its episodes might be bigger than the AVGN episode as a whole
Oh yeah it will be.
It’s gonna be a fucking 10 hour epic lol
It is infuriating how excellent your videos are and how time consuming to make each of them. You deserve 2000 billion thousand views. At least.
Thank you so much!
so this is basically the original, original Chad and Stacy meme
Yes lol
Man, who would’ve thought the creator of that meme was a big Captain S fan.
love love your internet fables series. GREAT work DTNO
I never forgot captain S, i’ll never forget the finale
Daaamn you are hitting the nostalgia feels so hard with this series! Can’t wait to see it
I always remembered him with that random photo with Doug walker and James Rolfe
Thanks for taking me back to the early days of the Internet. By the by you may want to check your email I was able to answer the call of action ;)
crapped my pants watching this, i am married to becky in real life and she never fucking mentioned this tv show in the 5 years we've been together
NO way? Are you for real lmao?
@@DylantheKnightOwl ivy is a very incredible person who wears many hats but this is just shocking.
Man, I would pay good money for one of those DVDs.
I like how Rich isn't considered a "total fucking creep"
I just can't get over the dialogue using sega game titles as verbs
Captain S and Chad Vader were the OGs
I'd love to see a retrospective on Stupid Mario Bros. Are you familiar with that series? You can tell it was made by a bunch of teenagers, but the series definitely had a lot of heart. The creators haven't had the same level of success since then, but it has a special place in the hearts of many.
I appreciate your mic's EQ settings, very nice
Oh this is gonna be good. I’ve been curious about him ever since the first AVGN/NC confrontation when he was just kinda there in the background, and when I discovered the missing AVGN crossover Christmas episode recently.
I kinda got this vibe that James and Doug didn't really want him to be involved in the fight but didn't want to exclude him in order to not be rude and to keep from getting out of character.
@@sandwichgodthesecondcoming4577 fun fact, it was actually James idea to have him be included in the fight.
@@DylantheKnightOwl Really? I always thought that Doug just randomly decided to show up as the NC and James just went along with it. The more you know.
I think you had to have grown up and have been a bit older to appreciate the cheesy 90's 'Saved by the Bell' mixed with video game nostalgia when Captain S came out to really "get it". Not in a rude way, but those who were fans were probably around their same age and fans of the things that were referenced. (The Full House font, sitcom intro etc.)
It was fun for what it was for sure!
That Connect 4 song was from a commercial in the 90's. He did a great rendition though.
It could take place after SNES came out. Some of us remember being told we can't afford Super Nintendo by our parents, along with some sarcastic inquiry about what makes it so super compared to the regular Nintendo we already have at home.
Great vid. I remember seeing this dude in the nerd critic showdown. He seemed out of place at the time. Also, despite the almost zero budget they had a great person behind the camera. It’s framed and held pretty well for a time when stabilizers and gimbals were out of amateur price range or even invented.
Internet Fables is my fav thing from Dylan.
The series looks pretty cool, love the creative flair and ambition. I remember running into it in the old ScrewAttack days, but never gave it a chance. Love the Super Human Samurai vibe, wonder if it was an inspiration. It's a shame that narrative-based content never became popular in the content creation space, 2006-2010 has so many weird, quirky and honestly awesome attempts at webseries, it's truly fascinating. Makes you wonder what the landscape of it would look like today when everyone has access to professional tools and equipment.
Absolutely loved this video. While it was never overly popular I'd like to think it being the screwattack/youtube "sega" internet show in a time where we had a dedicated oldschool nintendo show through the Angry Nintendo Nerd may have put more eyes on it that otherwise wouldnt be there.
The "Game Genie" laugh is just a more dorky version of the Kilokahn laugh from Super Human Samurai Syber-Squad, which makes sense since Nes and Game Genie were basically copies of Malcom Fink and Kilokahn
All i remember about little miss gamer is that she was somewhere on one of the backpages of TGWTG that you needed to go through like 10 options to get to, and that she e begged for a 3ds(?) i think before disappearing forever.
Out of curiosity though, did you try reaching out to Brett and Chad for any possible further info?
Thank you for your work, these videos are an important aspect to preserve mid-2000s Internet culture.
Thank you! It's my pleasure.
14:22 hot damn this song is really fucking awesome. It's called Conflict Approaches for anyone curious.
Great job in this video Dylan! I was around during the Screw Attack days and even then Captain S was very obscure.
Y'know how MarzGirl totally droped the ball (tho unintentionally) with "Farewell Fami Kamen Rider"?
How about a homage fan film to something that actually deserves the recognition?
"CAPTAIN S FORVER"!
this was a very charming little series. the joke of it being all PG and 90s style is cheesy and endearing, and it seems like like had a blast making it. also the Asian girl is cute.
Put that unreleased pilot 2 second long promo GIF into an AI tuned for continuing animations, and there you go.
I never watched too much of this show, but there is a certain nostalgia factor to seeing it since I remember catching the AVGN tie in episode back in the day on Screwattack, so it is nice to have a sort of feeling of closure to seeing what exactly this show was in full.
On that note, while I'm certain these are *far* more remembered than Captain S was (even if I never see people ever talk about them), it would be cool to see a deepdive on some other forgotten internet series, like Doomsday Arcade, There will be Brawl, and Pure Pwnage. Especially that last one, since that one is a bit similar to Captain S in its super limited, early internet production quality, it being sort of a time capsule (the protagonist goes around calling people "ghey", not exactly something you'd see modern online creators do), and also having a crazy production history, like the show stopping partway through the second season due to one of the actors flat out dying during production, and the show awkwardly being rebooted years later as a TV show (I'd checked out before this point, no idea what became of that, though glancing around online apparently it was reviled by fans). Also funny is the show being an origin point for the ancient "boom headshot" meme, even though I'm sure 99% of people who used that never even knew what it was from.
Great video! I'm one of the apparent few who knew Little Miss Gamer (and Awesome Video Games)
Yay another Internet fable episode.
old, forgotten internet shows make me a bit sad. They were a huge part of 2000s early internet culture, but have since been lost to time. Pure Pwnage was my favorite, and a lot of the fans hoped it'd be something bigger with the TV show, and then the crowd-funded movie, but the magic of the original online series was never re-captured. The only thing left of it culturally are the occasional "Boom Headshot" references, but those are fading, too. I'd love to see an episode about it.
Honestly, I woulnd't mind a Captain S reboot if it meant seeing how season 2 would have played out.
well if it isn't my ally captain S who represents Sega. I love this guy I mean he is one of my best friends next to Nester from Nintendo power.
I never really watched this show. Somehow totally missed it. Looking at it now, it really seems like quality content, especially back then. Well produced, good acting, great effects, likeable characters, and damn... that music. Not bad!
Glad you got around to it a brief history of captain s
The gun is the Sega Menacer.
Nintendo vs Sega was kinda pretty much still alive back then.
This also reminded me of Pure Pwnage... gosh.
Wow what a great video, deserves WAY more exposure.
Thank you!
Amazing Video as always. SUPER hyped for nostalgia critic videos
man it kinda sucks that they never got season 2 going, at the very least they should have made it a book/novel or continued the comic.
Glad I finally got around to checking this one out, it was a great video! A couple of years ago I had the melody to the Captain S theme stuck in my head and when I finally remembered where it was from I re-watched the series and went down a bit of a Captain S rabbit hole... it's a fascinating look at what internet content was like back circa 2007. Also it's a show that occupies this weird space where everyone who was around back then seems to mostly have forgotten it, but still have vague memories of it...
Wanted to ask if you had any luck with finding a copy of the dvd? I imagine that will be a bit tough (who knows how many were even printed 500? 1000? Less? More?). I'm guessing the best bet to find one would be by getting in contact with someone who was involved with PBC Productions or Screwattack around that time, they might have an extra copy. If you do let me know, haha, I want to see that pilot too... anyway great video Dylan looking forward to the future of the channel.
Thank you! I've not gotten much luck with finding a DVD copy yet but I'll be sure to post if I get some good updates about it.
The music is pretty freaking cool
Another great addition to your catalog.
Since I'm not a native english speaker, I came to know the AVGN through subtitled reuploads first, and then the real deal. Needless to say, I was oblivious to the more obscure/niche personalities that shared the relative internet spotlight with James, like Captain S. Not the critic, however; I think I saw the critic before I ever knew AVGN. I would like to see your promised NC/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses/Channel Awesome point of view. But, well, the fall of channel awesome's reputation is more mainstream at this point.
I seriously can't believe this show has Chad Becky and Stacey. Also it gives off the same vibe as an old power rangers clones and I super love that. Stuff like "Super Human Samurai" and "Tattoo Teenage Alien Fighters From Beverly Hills". It's even in the intro font
