Sub now. Captain D is amazing.

Are people really serious about liking him? I mean, I get that there was a lot of tongue in cheek SNL unfunniness in there. But…I felt it was painfully unfunny to watch. S

I’m saying this in the most genuine way possible, what is the appeal exactly? Is it the humor? The information? I was very surprised to see under that video is was on the trending list. I’d never heard of him. But everyone here seems to really like him as well.

Just curious. No hate

The humour is a large part of why people enjoy watching his videos, but the main focus of his channel is going over visual effects in viral videos with incredible detail.

Just check out his other videos I guess. I think he can be quite funny, and this video isn't the best example. But he's built a lot of goodwill by other means with the blender community over the years, he didn't become popular as a comedian.

He is genuinely amazing at his craft and has some really informative material. This specific video isn't a great example but some are much funnier too.
