Should we be expecting a pirate-themed collection of wallpapers?

Lol the pirate captain looks so happy through all the death and torture

Maarten Daalder

Branding, like Dread Pirate Roberts from The Princess Bride. :D

The great triumvirate of evil - murder, torture and marketing

"Sullying Pantaloons", classic

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.

The sudden change from pirate talk to normal talk hurt me

Favorite line in the whole video: "bootie be 'licious" :-D

Director’s commentary in the future?

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."

I love the lyrical lines, lovingly laced with little tidbits of tidy rhymes; abounding with alliteration and assonance.

Great video! I really hope we get the decision tree as a wallpaper option

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.

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

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

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