Legend has it he's still making the captain and the quartermaster retell their sides over and over and over again.
-
The captain is Grey with coffee, and the quartermaster is Grey without it.
-
Ah yes, the 8 traits : strength, cruelty, aggression, loyalty, intellect, saw skills, seasickness and YAARRR

“I’d like to talk to that guy” “I’d like to talk to the captain” Oh god! It’s an infinite loop!
-
Pirates are so overdramatized in books and movies, yet their real story is just as interesting!
-
When a teacher talks in dull monotone it is hard to focus and stay awake. Somehow when Grey does it I am paying attention to every word.
-
I love the contrast of these characters, with the Captain being emotional, flashy and upbeat even when talking about torturing people to death while their crewmates watch, and clearly a man in love with his job, while the Quartermaster is monotone, matter-of-fact, and seems to have no love for the job, denying that he ever had a choice in becoming a pirate and referring to acts of torture as "punishment for contract violations". The "just-following-orders" bad guy.
-
This is Grey as a pirate. "Ship sighted, captain! Do we attack?" "Hang on, let me consult my Excel spreadsheet..."
-
there's a dark undercurrent of absolute determinism in a lot of what the quartermaster says. The captain is a more jolly fellow. You know, except when he's talking about torture
-
You should make a "surgeon" version where he talks about the diseases, spoilt food, lack of hygiene and premature death that await most pirates.
-
CGP Grey: Releases dozens of well-researched, highly informative videos covering a broad and diverse array of subjects, in an interesting format. Also CGP Grey: Lol...booty.
-
Kids : Let’s play pirates One Kid : I’ll be the Captain Young Grey: I’ll be the Quartermaster
-
“I’d like to speak with The Empire.”
-
I think it’s interesting that both the Captain and the Quartermaster are very much romanticizing the pirate lifestyle. Whereas the Captain is giving the “Yo ho ho” speech, the Quartermaster gives a look at the practical day-to-day management of freedom aboard a pirate ship. Keep in mind that both are simply recruiting the listener. It’s interesting how the Captain and Quartermaster give different images of freedom
-
6:22 “I became a pirate as the gold in this grail chose its form” is BEAUTIFUL
-
Quartermaster: We need to properly plan and attack so as to not lose income Captain: BRANDING
-
This might be the calmest pirate I've ever seen, I feel soothed listening to this
-
No one: Quartermaster: Casually breaks out a personality matrix and bespeaks of science centuriess ahead of him
-
"If there is no surgeon, the carpenter will be surgeon." Me: omg "Shocking I know, such flat and equal compensation..." THAT'S NOT THE SHOCKING PART
