It's only "misinformation" when the people you don't like do it. The people who cry the loudest about misinformation, will blatantly lie about their competition. If it were as dangerous as some people want us to believe, wouldn't everyone be vulnerable? Seems a little neive or honestly a bit bigoted to say only "vulnerable people" get harmed by it? What the hell is a vulnerable person anyway? An old lady, a disabled person, someone with a mental disability?
@@NoMoreBsPlease It's misinformation when it's false information. Even if some people behave as you describe, only using the term to label information they dislike, that doesn't mean misinformation is always that. Some information is untrue. And the people vulnerable would be the people who are unable to identify the information as false. A person is vulnerable to misinformation when they do not know a lot about the subject matter, in most cases. It's not a value judgement on the person.
I mean the time and effort in this 15 minute video is more then some other far more popular videos, but the message and passion for said message in these 15 minutes is far more impactful and inspirational then some movies that try to do the same. Amazing work, amazing message and very humble and subtle about it, great guy man thanks for the vids, and philosophy you perpetuate through them.
@Firman Alisyahbana I'd guess the video was unlisted for a while before being published. Meaning he had the direct link and commented during that time.
@@poplame7809 , it's called a joke. Piotr said that the weird fistbump is scary because it's awkward AF. He also probably thinks this video isn't scary at all.
i know this vid is 2 years old by now but i really appreciate that you care about people susceptible to these things due to age or disorganized thought patterns instead of just making fun of them
i know this comment is 2 years old but YES!! It's very easy to say something like "man what kinda dumbass would fall for this LMAO", and Captain isn't like that!
Same here. The feeling I get is almost theatrical: same as in a movie when all hope seems lost, then the hero makes a sudden and unexpected grand appearance. Except you sort of knew he was about to show up but you get really excited when he does anyway.

I just randomly clicked on this video and it was one of the best things I have ever seen; funny, well written, well edited and all with a clear purpose so very different from that portrayed by the character. I was truly amazed by your ability to juxtapose comedy and genuine criticism while remaining true to an overarching story and character. In addition, you strayed from the common youtube theme of criticism with a lack of constructiveness or advice and allowed me to learn from someone's mistakes while also being sympathetic, and more importantly empathetic to there goals. Thank you, hope the channel keeps working out for you random stranger.
CD is truly the most underrated channel on all of TH-cam. He deserves to be one of the biggest channels on the platform. Check out the H3 podcast with him. He seems like such a humble and genuine guy.
@@trickytreyperfected1482 if such stairs were real, flowing water down them could indefinitely power a turbine amd grant free energy forever...that said I know this isnt real
This is new, didn't realize until I saw the date. It just goes to show that your content is very recognizable, unique, consistent and yet very interesting amidst everything that you have already posted.
These videos are timeless. Look at his first one a decade ago, and apart from the amount of pixels it's identical Well his special effects are also even greater
Yesterday i watched one of his videos thinking that it was new, and when the notification of this video popped up i realised that the other video was from 3 years ago hahaha
I like how the Captain ribs Michael for this entire video but at the end he shows genuine sympathy to Michael's intentions. The dude clearly didn't set out to cause harm, he was just misinterpreted
lol I went to RIT, & the staircase is in an art/film building. I used to climb those stairs allll the time for different classes, as I was a graphic design major there. Never knew they were internet-famous stairs or else I wouldve appreciated them more xD
Obviously fake. There's no way the staircase would loop them back like that, they just time-travelled while being careful not to bump into their past or future self. #legitcriticalthinking
It's his satiracle take on things that people don't like. My first few videos I saw of him, I hated him. I don't know why I still watched him, but I did. He makes things seem pity which makes people think he's rude.
It is truly a CRIME of the highest order that TH-cam took SO long to recommend your channel to me. I love your videos!! You're self-deprecating humor is hilarious and your comedic timing is spot on. Your videos are fun, educational and creative. To think you started this WAYYY back in 2007, when YT was still in diapers and few people were producing high-quality content shows. You really were way ahead of the game. It is baffling to me you don't have 10,000,000 subs by now. I can't praise your work enough. Keep it coming.
Frosty Meerkat can people fucking stop saying how he's underrated or doesn't have enough views? He has the perfect amount of views. He's in that sweet spot of having just enough passionate fans that you can do it as a career but still with no pressure. Any more fans and it gets diluted and the pressure grows, fed by the masses of new people who expect more. In my experience, youtubers get worse once they get too famous
Milos Jovic so you don’t want what I presume is one of your favourite TH-camrs to have anymore success? Just so nothing changes because it’s how YOU like it right now? Why not half glass full it? More views = more money = ability to hire more staff = more quality content and projects previously out of reach. Why would you assume it’ll go wrong?

The quality of the video is god level. This channel is a gem. TH-cam never suggested any of your videos to me although I'm very active watcher since it's conception. I only found it by a chance while searching for something I forgot about last year. TH-cam AI you suck.
I dont care about the debunking footage thing anymore man, as a cosplayer I just want to know how you keep your face paint looking so perfect every frame
Hange Sloan What I do is stay highly moisturized about an hr before I put on my paint because you WILL dry out. And I suggest stippling the paint on for the first layer and make it thick before smoothing it out with a silicone brush. Think a spatula. And see about a translucent setting powder to keep it from smearing.
There’s prep cream you can put on underneath. Use clown quality makeup, and a good amount of setting spray. I managed to get a good Captain Planet blue by putting silver powder over a blue paint.
James P. Burke To be honest, I'm surprised Babylon 5 even got mentioned in the comments. It took nearly two years for someone to recognise my kosh t-shirt.
What kind of fans you are, you missed 2058 joke in the end, fake fans. I bet you are trekkers, claim to like The Oriville, when actually watching Discovery. Babylon no. 5 such a odoriferous fragrance, my wife liked it.
I discovered your channel recently and it's one of the most creative and informative channels I've come across. I love it and I'm excited to watch the rest of your videos.
I literally just graduated from university with a degree in Multimedia and I still have no clue how you do 80% of the effects in your videos. I do have a deeper appreciation now for how much work goes in though.
Everyone's appeeciating how he paints the top of his head peach, but in reality it's just an illusion through the contrast between the top of his head and the rest of his body, seperated by the actually painted black line between the two "different" colors.
I gotta be honest. Never in a million years was I expecting a Babylon 5 reference from, well, any of the TH-camrs I follow. And I follow plenty of nerds and geeks. Kudos to you, CD.
I've been rewatching B5 the last couple weeks on Tubi. Yeah, this one hit home, heh. As has been said before about so many videos, he did a great job with it, all the little details paying tribute to the original opening.
Looking it up, I mean yeah it 100% makes sense that out of all the people who could reference it, it turned out to be CD. But it’s definitely niche as hell too
Leo Nard That's no way to ask someone for their pic. It's more like, "please sir, I must acquire the original source of the lovely picture you have for your profile. "
11:23 - this is so important in what you do, Captain. I truly appreciate that you seek to not just entertain but to provide a greater understanding in how we can be deceived, because you clearly care about a society that runs on shared truths and reality.
As a student of RIT, first thing I did was go find the stairs. I'm genuinely surprised there isn't attention being brought to it there. For such a viral sensation, I would have thought maybe a poster at the least. Instead, it's simply a neglected staircase aged by many students using it daily.
As an average joe with no real education, the first thing i did when i see yr comment was shake my head, that u actually had to visit them stairs to set yr mind at ease its FAKE
@@letsbehonest4221 You didn't read carefully. Yui didn't visit it see if it was real but rather because it is allegedly a "viral sensation." They were curious about it and was surprised that there was no recognition of the stairwell being a viral sensation. If you want to criticize someone for being curious or for their interest in visiting a popular place (at least online) that's one thing, but you are criticizing the person for doing something they didn't actually do. All because you didn't read carefully.
Just discovered this channel from the Cicret Bracelet video. So glad I did. This guy puts so much effort in to his videos, and is seriously entertaining.
Wow, just rewatched the Babylon 5 section. That's all completely recreated, isn't it? Amazing how easy it was for me to just shrug it off the first watch, and I'm a big B5 fan!
I thought that was a good line about becoming an adult and it's your turn to inspire children. I feel like the whole point of being a kid sometimes is to take in as much as you can and then when you get older, you output as much as you can using the experiences you've had.
I will show these to my future children, every human on earth should watch your magnificently researched, edited AND entertaining content. I believe humanity would straight up improve in IQ.
Luckily, humanity's IQ has been increasing steadily for quite some time now (after normalizing, since the scale is always set to make the average 100). However, the extremely rapid pace of this increase, combined with the fact that our great-grandparents weren't mentally disabled, indicates that the IQ scale is woefully inadequate for measuring intelligence. Google "Flynn Effect" to learn more.
- There is an increased number in religious extremism and retardarion in recent years, such as the flat earthers, that raise concern for humanity's future, as it seems to try to undermine all the adchievements we had. The common folk I meet anywhere aren't generally too bright unfortunately. That was what I was trying to mention; admittedly more of a subjective experience. - I wasn't extremely serious when mentioning IQ; everybody knows it's an inadequate and insufficient measurement, just like the BMI. Thanks for the suggestion, will do.
@@ngastakvakis4425 I'll concede that some particular brands of stupidity are on the rise, though I do believe the general trend is upwards; at least, that's what the rising levels of education and whatnot indicate.

i warned you about stairs bro

These people cursing are probably kids my age cursing too seem another age.
If you're a teen
Oh hell yeah here we go boys!
Gameplayvids247 I don't know what that means
...and girls.
...and non-binary
This video is so well done. Love the morality, script and screenplay even more than the myth-busting.
You almost got my reflexes to close the video when starting with "I've been listening to this book..."
Got me good.
omg nothing makes me hit the pause button faster than an ad
edible.gum was gold 🤣
You guys are dicks! You can't listen to 30 seconds of an ad that lets your favorite TH-camrs eat? Fuck you!
rando prior They still get paid if you skip a sponsor. In-video sponsors aren't like regular youtube ads that are separate from the video.
rando prior B8 or severe idiocy.
I dont care about the debunking footage thing anymore man, as a cosplayer I just want to know how you keep your face paint looking so perfect every frame
Hange Sloan What I do is stay highly moisturized about an hr before I put on my paint because you WILL dry out. And I suggest stippling the paint on for the first layer and make it thick before smoothing it out with a silicone brush. Think a spatula. And see about a translucent setting powder to keep it from smearing.
KawaiiLemon that’s cool
it's not face paint. he's just a dinosaur wearing a human costume wearing a dinosaur costume wearing a human costume with imprinted face paint
I know, skin color paint over metal is really hard to paint
There’s prep cream you can put on underneath. Use clown quality makeup, and a good amount of setting spray. I managed to get a good Captain Planet blue by putting silver powder over a blue paint.
Is anyone else rewatching this 5 years later?
nope :)
It started as a joke, then he realized it paid for the rest of his education.
This content is a step above the rest. 🤣
Actually, I think it's a step below the rest :P
The CGI animations of the hosts are amazing lamo
I always come back and binge watch captain disillusion
any time you think, "Eh its good enough no one will notice."
watch out, there is people like this.
Yes, but it works for Captain Disillusion to be a nit picker because that is what makes him great at his job
I'm actually kind of interested in the "Back Hole Chronicles." Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait until 2058.
I really hope that it somehow gets done, even though we don't know if he would still be around at that time…
Only 38 more years, kids!
Still waiting too
I'm still waiting for Troll Face Girl full song and the next working Gynee prototype.
It's on p0rnhvb starring Mia malkova
Is nobody going to mention the hilarious Babylon 5 parody? I had to watch that part about 5 times.
I liked the 90s style CGI
James P. Burke To be honest, I'm surprised Babylon 5 even got mentioned in the comments. It took nearly two years for someone to recognise my kosh t-shirt.
What kind of fans you are, you missed 2058 joke in the end, fake fans. I bet you are trekkers, claim to like The Oriville, when actually watching Discovery. Babylon no. 5 such a odoriferous fragrance, my wife liked it.
Okay calm down don't need to be so judgmental.
LOL wut
I discovered your channel recently and it's one of the most creative and informative channels I've come across. I love it and I'm excited to watch the rest of your videos.
When a debunking a myth gets more views than the myth itself.
potato?
Hotel?
@@secretunknown2782 trivago?
YES
I see 15 minutes no ads from captain disillusion, I like and leave a comment 👍
Edible.gum*
LMAO that Babylon 5 intro, I love that show
RomeoAndRandom 99 In Valen's name
I'd be cool with a reboot. Doubt JMS would go for it.
Think we just want a proper restored/blu-ray transfer of the series
never gonna get it never gonna get it
Dude B5 kicked so much ass I couldn't believe it.
each year we get closer to blackhole chronicles, can't wait for 2058!
If this *were* real, how would they even get there or get out
@@datpisidukmv2819 dies
Omg you're right!
Oh shit my nightmare
THERE IS NO ESCAPE! guess they'll die.
Just take the stairs?
And all these years we just thought it was real.
No way... The actually RIT
Damn, Roc pride I guess?
I would think the institute of technology would know about conservation of energy, but apparently not.
Go Tigers!!!!
Haha. Funny meeting you here.
I literally just graduated from university with a degree in Multimedia and I still have no clue how you do 80% of the effects in your videos. I do have a deeper appreciation now for how much work goes in though.
Everyone's appeeciating how he paints the top of his head peach, but in reality it's just an illusion through the contrast between the top of his head and the rest of his body, seperated by the actually painted black line between the two "different" colors.
"If you take the colors in Photoshop, you can see they're actually the same shade!"
Finally on trending, you deserve the recognition.
then again, no one watches the trending tab.
Hah, no I even adblocked the tab itself so that I will never be tempted to click my way into that garbage hole ever again.
Oh man, I can't wait for Summer 2058!
Oof man, 10 months and no comments.
That's more likes than I ever gotten
.
I gotta be honest. Never in a million years was I expecting a Babylon 5 reference from, well, any of the TH-camrs I follow. And I follow plenty of nerds and geeks. Kudos to you, CD.
Same, I got so hyped
I've been rewatching B5 the last couple weeks on Tubi. Yeah, this one hit home, heh. As has been said before about so many videos, he did a great job with it, all the little details paying tribute to the original opening.
Looking it up, I mean yeah it 100% makes sense that out of all the people who could reference it, it turned out to be CD. But it’s definitely niche as hell too
Never heary of Captain Disillusion before, but how good is he!
There are too few Babylon 5 references on the web, thank you so much!
7:10 when your editing budget runs out
gimme the the source of your icon bitch
Leo Nard That's no way to ask someone for their pic. It's more like, "please sir, I must acquire the original source of the lovely picture you have for your profile. "
aww the little boy leo would like to see some anime pussy, isn't that cute?
Leo Nard Wrong. The proper way is ey lemme see dem anime tiddies you got that pfp from
wasnt expecting you out of KFAD vids lol
Who else is on a Captain Disillusion marathon?
Me
Yep
Yeah me
Me
God I miss sleep....
11:23 - this is so important in what you do, Captain. I truly appreciate that you seek to not just entertain but to provide a greater understanding in how we can be deceived, because you clearly care about a society that runs on shared truths and reality.
As a student of RIT, first thing I did was go find the stairs. I'm genuinely surprised there isn't attention being brought to it there. For such a viral sensation, I would have thought maybe a poster at the least. Instead, it's simply a neglected staircase aged by many students using it daily.
As an average joe with no real education, the first thing i did when i see yr comment was shake my head, that u actually had to visit them stairs to set yr mind at ease its FAKE
Those damn kids in booth making some weird shit
@Average_Joe ok fair enought .
But but i dont get why you and others had to go visit the actual stairs when its obvous its not real.
You must have found the wrong one. Its there. Go look again
@@letsbehonest4221 You didn't read carefully. Yui didn't visit it see if it was real but rather because it is allegedly a "viral sensation." They were curious about it and was surprised that there was no recognition of the stairwell being a viral sensation. If you want to criticize someone for being curious or for their interest in visiting a popular place (at least online) that's one thing, but you are criticizing the person for doing something they didn't actually do. All because you didn't read carefully.
What absolutely great content. These videos really are a step above everything else here on YT. Thanks Capt. D!
Just discovered this channel from the Cicret Bracelet video. So glad I did. This guy puts so much effort in to his videos, and is seriously entertaining.
where i can buy the Snitch plug-in ?
13:35 that was so well said!!!
Every video in this channel is like a good experience, I love watching it! ^_^
Awesome work Captain!
Eu vou no JN e você ta lá, eu venho no Capitain e você ta aqui também
Thanks for the shout-out, Captain Disillusion. My twin brother and I enjoyed your breakdown.
Wow, you made this account just for this comment?
3:48 How long were you waiting to make a 2001 reference?
Just a kid that rants Fitting that he uses a 2001 reference to talk to someone so deeply impacted by the movie
Wow, just rewatched the Babylon 5 section. That's all completely recreated, isn't it? Amazing how easy it was for me to just shrug it off the first watch, and I'm a big B5 fan!
Babylon 5 section? EDIT: oh, found it!

A thousand dislikes? Who are those people? Throw them down the Escherian Stairwell!
hahaha those are the RIT fan boys and girls. And all the evil actors and actresses friends n family....pos humans.
Lol

Roll a slinky down those stairs
Pilotwhale Productions genius
(It'd stop around the turn)
Brandon Boyer nah cus it would slink
Use a bouncy ball
11:43 "TH-cam personality Tom Scott awarded the prestigious nerder-" Hahaha, never noticed that before, just now after all the years! Brilliant!
The storytelling breakdown at the end is one of the best things I've ever seen!
Its called "hero journey" and is s real thing
Even today I’m blown away by the sheer qualities of the videos you make. Most people would just try to explain vfx on a napkin sketch
Only 34 more years to go till 2058, the wait is gonna be worth.
I thought that was a good line about becoming an adult and it's your turn to inspire children. I feel like the whole point of being a kid sometimes is to take in as much as you can and then when you get older, you output as much as you can using the experiences you've had.
I will show these to my future children, every human on earth should watch your magnificently researched, edited AND entertaining content. I believe humanity would straight up improve in IQ.
Luckily, humanity's IQ has been increasing steadily for quite some time now (after normalizing, since the scale is always set to make the average 100). However, the extremely rapid pace of this increase, combined with the fact that our great-grandparents weren't mentally disabled, indicates that the IQ scale is woefully inadequate for measuring intelligence. Google "Flynn Effect" to learn more.
- There is an increased number in religious extremism and retardarion in recent years, such as the flat earthers, that raise concern for humanity's future, as it seems to try to undermine all the adchievements we had. The common folk I meet anywhere aren't generally too bright unfortunately. That was what I was trying to mention; admittedly more of a subjective experience.
- I wasn't extremely serious when mentioning IQ; everybody knows it's an inadequate and insufficient measurement, just like the BMI. Thanks for the suggestion, will do.
@@ngastakvakis4425 I'll concede that some particular brands of stupidity are on the rise, though I do believe the general trend is upwards; at least, that's what the rising levels of education and whatnot indicate.
