New Video Early Access

Ha ha! Stupid Americans...

David Bednarczuk

Coming late to the party... Another great video, Captain D! It feels very much in the spirit with all the other stuff you do, so it's curious that some of your subscribers suddenly got upset. Do you reckon there is a correlation between people getting triggered by the race aspect of the video and their geographic location? Anyway, keep doing what you're doing, time to up the donation!

I thought the "Mandela Effect" would be about how every flipping person I know thinks that "Mandala" is pronounced "Mandela." Why!? Man, I'm sorry that I accidentally got word of the "controversy" before watching the episode. It kept me from appreciating it for what it was, as the back of my mind was saying "Okay, when is the controversial thing coming?" I mean, what is controversial?! Are Breitbart readers complaining? Sheesh.

I don't care if everyone else hears it, you are and always have been my favoritest patron :)

Captain Disillusion

Ok, I just read the YouTube comments. You guys made a lot of crackers upset with your flippant comment about "white people's memories". Perhaps next time you will give more thought to how this oppressed majority feels before "othering" them like you have.

David Bednarczuk

I was disappointed at the end, though. Throughout the video I was excited by the prospect of Holly joining the Light side, when all along it was just an alternate reality.

David Bednarczuk

I love the bizarro-world scenario, with Holly in the role of Cap, and the way her make-up ends where the fake body joins her usually disembodied head.

Thank you for the support! Yeah, personal insults toward her are what bothers me (to the microscopic extent that YouTube comments are capable of bothering me) for all the normal, sane person reasons, as well as the fact that I wrote every word of the video - she just performed them.

Captain Disillusion

Ha, thank you, that's very kind and I appreciate the support! Yeah, it's bewildering to see a whole bunch of people reacting that way... I mainly laugh, but it depresses me a little that so many of them are presumably my YouTube subscribers. And I'm especially not down with insults thrown at Lauren. Sigh, internet.

Captain Disillusion

Thanks! I've been trying to widen the scope of topics to cover without changing things up too much. It's a process :)

Captain Disillusion

I've forgotten that I made one before. I need to curb my cartoon references :P

Captain Disillusion

An interdimensional camcorder? That's preposterous. I simply edited ordinary camcorder footage from two different dimensions using an interdimensional split-screen plugin.

Captain Disillusion

I've been steadily getting faster at applying the makeup over the years. I've got it down to about 10-15 mins. Taking it off though, that takes forEVER.

Captain Disillusion

Thanks! Toward the end of the month I increasingly forget what it is, then happily rediscover it :)

Captain Disillusion

The stars aligned just right. It's not going to happen again for 273 years.

Captain Disillusion

Isn't it nice when they're helpfully labeled? Everyone should do that!

Captain Disillusion

First, I shall take this opportunity to express my opinion on some trivial tidbit—illustrating that I completely missed the point—in angry and sometimes misspelled words. Next, I shall lob cartoonish insults in your direction, perhaps by dubbing you a member of some broadly vague and vaguely broad group/concept/other noun that I despise but that may not actually exist in consensus reality. Then, I shall issue non-threatening threats, such as removing myself from your subscriber list or cutting off my $1 monthly Patreon pledge. Optional: I may proclaim that you were better when [insert arbitrary time point/video here] and that you have truly “jumped the shark” with this one. Finally, I will offer knee-jerk and non-clever retorts to any other commenters who disagree with me and/or who type words that I don’t like, at least until my mommy calls me to the dinner table. In short: please keep on keepin’ on with your bad-ass self, Captain!

Heather A.

I'm going to allow this.

Captain Disillusion

It happened during the part when I run into the wall (but I didn't use that take) :*(

Captain Disillusion

Luckily pausing is still allowed :)

Captain Disillusion

I'm going to enable community subtitles on all videos soon!

Captain Disillusion

I'm upping my donation as well. Those overly sensitive commenters are attacking your excellent costar. I'm not sure why, as always she did a great job. Must be "economic anxiety."

Really sorry that youtube comments went full circle jerk on both sides of the spectrum. I think one or two of Holly's lines may have been off in my opinion but nothing dangerous or malicious like they claim. I also almost missed the Alternative Facts jab, GJ. On behalf of the other 98% of Earth, we got your back.

The YouTube comments have me feeling sick. I'm upping my donation Captain D just to make sure you keep going.

This transition into general debunking rather than the more specialized video debunking, has turned out to be rather wonderful. The quality of work that you and your team are producing, from the scripts to the acting, are to the point (and have been) where you could pretty much tackle any topic with success. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talents with us. Amazing job and bravo! (EDIT: Additionally. now that I am sharing the public video on FB, I see that you've left us a wonderful little Easter-egg in the video title. This is too wonderful!)

Absolutely Nobody

Another Darkwing Duck reference? (And an obscure one at that) Awesome.

Bizzaro.

Captain D what interdimensional camcorder did you use? Newegg is all out

ARGHLOVE you I love these videos. Also, how long does it take to do your make up? Or would that be ruining the effect? I mean....what make up?

Dan Root

Wow, you went crazy with visual effects. What an amazing episode! That must have taken forever. Do you even know what sleep is?

Michael Krehan

Well this is a bizarre coincidence; Skeptoid released a Mandela Effect episode today: <a href="https://skeptoid.com/episodes/4560" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://skeptoid.com/episodes/4560</a>

Starting at 4:19 till 4:35.

Robin Beckett

I see Jumpcuts!

Robin Beckett

I'm worried that at the current rate of meta increase in your videos, the series will soon collapse in on itself. XD

Callan Christensen

Oh god, it's Holly! Be still, my beating heart...

Ali

That ending was great. Nice work!

Yes, this is good stuff. Thanks, Captain!

Your two funny.

Keith Marrocco

This was beautiful. Love the ones about reigning in ego.

Lynnea Glasser

Are you telling me I am NOT a unique inter-dimensional anomalous flower!? Booo.

It's great! :D Loved the rescue rangers/darkwing duck references. But sadly this will always be the episode that killed Mr Flare :( I don't think I'll ever recover.

Douglas Pluylaar

Easy on the editing, Captain, my ADHD is having problems keeping up.

Always glad to see these posted.

Captain, would you mind me translating some of the subtitles into Br Portuguese?
