The offended captain saying “yar, it need only look good from afar” is probably one of my favourite CGPgrey lines
Daniel McIntyre
Same tho.

The BOOP and “fake guns don’t shoot, do they? *slaps hard on back*” “😠” made me die. With laughter.

"Director's commentary will come out with Part 2." I'll clear my afternoon for July 7th, 2028.

About Dufresne's ending though .....
Matthew DeVries
My theory is Grey just binged Black Sails (amazing show), and dude in glasses with beanie is the Walrus' accountant, then quartermaster Mr. Dufresne. Easily the character Grey would latch onto.

Great video! I really hope we get the decision tree as a wallpaper option
Myrddin Emrys
I love the lyrical lines, lovingly laced with little tidbits of tidy rhymes; abounding with alliteration and assonance.
David Ellison
Yet again, a video whose topic I never would have predicted yet somehow falls perfectly into the nebulous, undefined category of "definitely a Grey topic."

Somebody doesn't like reading much

Favorite line in the whole video: "bootie be 'licious" :-D
Wilhelm Screamer
The sudden change from pirate talk to normal talk hurt me
Lars Huluk
I also recommend the chapter on pirate law in David Friedman's book "Legal Systems very Different From Ours" (quick look at the drafts here: http://www.daviddfriedman.com/Legal%20Systems/LegalSystemsContents.htm ) It describes how loot is shared and when and when not pirate captains can make decisions.

Jolly good video Grey.
Sorcerer's Apprentice
The great triumvirate of evil - murder, torture and marketing
Maarten Daalder
Branding, like Dread Pirate Roberts from The Princess Bride. :D

Lol the pirate captain looks so happy through all the death and torture
Richard DiDonato
Fantastic writing!
Mr.Tarzan
Booty for all!
I think it's time we blow this scene, get everybody and their stuff together. Okay, 3, 2, 1, let's jam!
Should we be expecting a pirate-themed collection of wallpapers?
