+CrispyCucaracha He did start around that time, he's been doing debunks since 2008. He had a very infrequent uploading schedule though (Even with a year long gap inbetween a video I'm sure) which might have led to not as much growth. I remember back in the day when I first discovered him he was getting more views than he's getting now, even though he had much less subscribers.
I'm usually reluctant watching older videos on some RUclipsrs' channels because they aren't up to par or not similar to newer ones but you've stayed true to character, nice job.
ONJuly 6th, 2024, at 01:32 AM, I, a 62 years old male in Finland, Europe, am watching this video (along with binging the rest of them.) Against the algorithm - Yes, I manually clicked them one by one on CD:s YT channel home page "Videos" list. In your face, algorithm!! Oh, by the way: As of now, 3D has been dumped into the trash bin of history like the 1080i video format. Completely gone on TV's as well in the movies. Which is good.
I'm one of those people you mentioned. I've been losing my eyesight in my right eye, due to a cataract. So my cool, good quality 3D glasses that my son in law bought me a couple of years ago are worthless until I get lens replacement surgery. (Again) :-/ But I do appreciate the fact that you even thought of people like me, and made a 2D version. Your 3D video will be one of the first things I watch after my surgery, because I really like your videos. Why would a guy my age want 3-D glasses? I use them to look at anaglyphs of Apollo lunar EVA photos.
Me too. I wonder what happened. But if there's one thing I know for sure, it's that Captain Disillusion is the Good Guy of RUclips. He's stayed true to form over 11 years so far. If you're from the future and reading this comment, hello!
Wow, I was fine with you not realizing that some people (specifically me, for example) don't have the ability to see in 3D(I assumed this video was for people without 3d glasses on hand). To acknowledge this in the end was really kind of you. Your work is certainly done with respect toward your viewers, and that's insanely great. I realized there was some sarcasm with the demographics statistics, but you really seem to see your viewers as people rather than numbers/statistics
Hahaha oh my gosh dude, you inserting yourself into the scene is too funny. I love when you do that, hahaha. But that part at the end of your video was incredibly sweet. I can't tell you how much we appreciate the fact that you thought about everyone like that. Thank you Captain Disillusion, you're freaking awesome.
Captain Disillusion, you're incredible. The effort you put into every single one of your videos astounds me and it's a true wonder why you don't have and extremely well paying job in Hollywood or even better, have your own tv show. If anyone has worked hard enough and deserves it, it's you!!! You're just incredible and your videos never disappoint. Very well done.
Its awesome to witness how the Captain has improved over the years. His passive aggressive sarcastic jokes, his script, his pace and his act are much better now than ever before. Hope this channel continues into the future. ^-^
Does no one want to appreciate how well this guy prat falls? That mess takes practice... especially if you're not double-jointed... Gawd, it's magical. I wonder how many times he's pranked someone... :P
Holy crap, I actually remember watching two of those American football videos at school. Of all places! Weird because: a) I am in the UK and have always lived here, so why they used American football stars for us is beyond me, and b) I think the videos were used as a tool to try and convince us to always try as hard as we can so that we can reach our dreams/be the best - or at least very impressive - at something. Ironic now that it turns out that the videos were fake all along.

Why is this the FIRST TIME I have EVER been recommended a Captain D video? This dude has been around forever, and I'm just now finding out about him in 2021. Well, of course you know I SUBBED. Hope they bring Fantasy Files back this year!
*than. That will make your sentence flow better. And 3D is just expensive. It had required special media and equipment. Nowadays its getting cheaper but the 3DS is the only simple 3D I've seen. Even then, its a gimmick. Maybe once virtual reality is easier to buy into 3D will be needed but right bow, I'm not sold.
"fewer" is used for things that you can count. "less" is used for things that you can and things that you can't count (so you're ok). There is a rule to use "less" only for singular nouns (like milk or music) and not countable nouns (like people), but it seems to be made up by individual grammarians. It sounds nicer and smarter to have one word for each case, but has actually never been the way people talk in English.
The 3D version of this was the first Captain Disillusion video I've ever seen, 3D on RUclips was still new, so you could get a list of all 3D videos and this is how I got to this one :) I also tried watching this video on a Vuzix 920AR which was an old VR/AR headset with two small 640x480 screens :D (edit: you can see a few of the experiments I've done with that headset on my channel BTW!)
I really do only have one functioning eye like you said, so thanks for uploading this in 2D as well :D Learned more about VFX on this channel than I did on my undergrad degree :p
SO glad to see the Captain back and dispensing the type of wisdom that feels so theraputic in our culture of superficialilty. Proud to be part of your 'ladies 18-44' minority. Keep 'em coming Captain.
There is a old show called "Breaking the Magician's Code: Magic's Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed" that have most of his performances revealed and explained.
I dunno, they usually do it better and Cris Angel seems to rely heavily on camera tricks and fake crowds meaning he couldn't do it to a live, legit audience which I think most good magicians don't rely on so much.
13 years old and it's as professional as any of his other vids. I love his introspection at his inability to "go viral" or the reality hit self-deprecation as garbage, hopeless fu*kwit human's manage to tap the zeitgeist and get "viral status". Never change, never surrender, never be boring.
Speaking as a fellow with one properly functioning eye who hopes the 3D trend dies off soon, I really love and appreciate the ending of this video. Keep it up, CD.

True... I can go back anytime and watch his videos. Also, YMS (YourmoviesuckDOTorgis a good option for when there is nothing on youtube.
What about now?
The first video feels the same as the latest one. Fun, engaging, and lovely!

I can't believe how amazingly consistent Captain D has been with his high-quality content for over a decade now
I figured it out guys! He doesn't use the cut between every line of sentence like every other RUclipsr!

Damn dude how fucking good are you! Not only debunks but also CGI reenactments of the real events.
Andreas Uten As he said in another episode, its not called CGI.
This is 9 years old?! It's got such high production quality!
Well it was 2010 9 years ago, not 1985 haha
@Asstronut what
Except for the lighting quality
it’s crazy how his content has stayed the same since his very first video
2016 here, you were right! every house has a 3d tv now, and a flying car!

That's not extra weight. He just went from 4:3 to 16:9 is all.

You can notice his hairstyle change from episode 1, if you look carefully at the pixels
Peacefroglorax yeah, he went from sorta curly hair to sorta tall sorta curly hair

2-D has more views than 3-D. Proving once and for all we hate gimmicks.
*than. That will make your sentence flow better.
And 3D is just expensive. It had required special media and equipment. Nowadays its getting cheaper but the 3DS is the only simple 3D I've seen. Even then, its a gimmick.
Maybe once virtual reality is easier to buy into 3D will be needed but right bow, I'm not sold.
*fewer.
What's the diff here?
Nicholas Nelson There are some games in the 3DS made for the 3D, having mechanics built around it.
"fewer" is used for things that you can count.
"less" is used for things that you can and things that you can't count (so you're ok).
There is a rule to use "less" only for singular nouns (like milk or music) and not countable nouns (like people), but it seems to be made up by individual grammarians. It sounds nicer and smarter to have one word for each case, but has actually never been the way people talk in English.
I like the 3D version better.
I'm so amazed about how it gets 3D by just crossing your eyes a bit.
Now a version that doesn't trip you out.
I love your exit gags, "oh, I forgot I don't fly"
Seeing this in 2018.
You're great and deserve the exponential growth you've had during the past half year.
Love you captain - we need more! Just can't get enough of you!

What a brilliant channel. This is going to be a Full Fledged RUclips Red series one day. You deserve it captain!
I LOVE your videos man! They're some of the best on RUclips! :) Keep posting more for us.
It's amazing how he makes it look like he has access to the raw video when it's really his own deconstruction/reconstruction of it.
This video still holds up in 2021. The screencap of youtube from 2010 does not. Woof.
RUclips sucks when coming to recommending videos.. and this channel must BECOME popular
That 4th grader in Pasadena is now legally an adult.
I think he is not only ahead of time he is ahead if the competition and media like how its illegal how underrated his content is
Debunk Cris angel please. I hate that guy.
There is a old show called "Breaking the Magician's Code: Magic's Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed" that have most of his performances revealed and explained.
***** It's funny I was watching that the other day and saw so many of his tricks on there. Really goes to show what a hack Angel is.

Im glad he went back to "normal". Also am I glad he stayed the same all these years and didn't go with the flow. Love this guy.
Sir,
You're correct. Not all of your viewers have two working eyes.
On of mine is robotic... it is hard to look at screens with it... so I just use my eye patch.
Exactly. Some of us have three.

You’re the best!
I love the un-ironed green screen
yayyy im glad he's doing breakdowns like these again!
Great episode! Awesome and funny how you parodied the deep, echoing voice announcing sports clips..."CUT SEVEN!"
You also assumed RUclips would continue to support their 3-D feature into the future.
Dude you're back, awsome man, we missed you
Spectacular note to end on!

Wait, was our boy doing the whole RUclips statistics before it was funny to dunk on them? No way!
