The good news is that when the video of the lightning strike on the beach happened, most of the people commenting called BS on it. It is still disappointing that it got millions of views, though.

Eric Blom

Thanks Captain D for another great video.

Ken McGlothlen

"For Benny"? Again, very well done. I do hope we get to see more tutorials on how you pull all this stuff off. :)

Carl Fink

I have to say, for reasons I don't claim to fully understand, I really like the episodes in which Captain Disillusion actually manages to get out of the set during his trademark closer, instead of falling into a chasm or something.

Josh Clark

Fantastic as always. Good stuff Captain D.

Susan Gerbic

Simply brilliant as usual Captain D. I have no idea what you are saying when you start getting all technical and stuff, but it sure sounds good. I really like the parts where you state the stuff that someone with my brain could actually think through, like why wasn't she electrocuted? Why didn't the telephone lines shake? Why didn't the person in the car react? I also like how you pointed out that we should look at who is uploading it, why is some stranger uploading it and not the person who filmed it? More important questions... Who or what is Benny? Is that the cat or bunny? Where is Spartanburg? And where did you get the sceptik hat?

Stacy Livitsanis

The most unbelievable part of the lightning on the beach video? That guy's demented voice/accent. No one talks like that. And if they do, they don't. Wonderful as always, Captain.

Fernando Ramirez

holy shit captain d you DESTROYED these kids

CaptainDisillusion

I think I know what you mean :) It's a sort of OCD desire to see me make a successful exit and being mildly disappointed each time, then satisfied when it unexpectedly happens. I LIKE TO PLAY WITH PEOPLE'S MINDS.

CaptainDisillusion

Thank you as always! I wanted to cover all bases with this video and give some down-to-earth as well as some technical debunking. Benny is our dearly departed bunny, the actual one seen in the video player. He died during the time this episode was being developed. Spartanburg is in South Carolina. I got the hat on Amazon and turned it into an official Sceptik hat through the use of a portable label maker. Maybe I should offer them in my web store :)

B. K. Grove

Very well done! Thanks for another great video.

Danielle Davis

Great video, as always! And my husband and I are sorry to hear about your bunny. Our deepest condolences!!

Susan Gerbic

So I called it! I knew Benny was either the bunny or the kitten, do I get some kind of reward for that obvious psychic ability? BTW, sorry to hear about Benny. :-( At least he made YouTube. I still like the hat.

Ken McGlothlen

In which case, my heart goes out to you on the former point—it sucks, and I'm sorry—and the rest of me looks forward to the latter.

Josh Clark

I should add that your voice has a certain Carl Sagan flavour, which subconsciously adds prestige and authority. P. S. Coming from Adelaide, Australia I can confirm that we don't speak like that at all.

Charles Van Ark

Dang! I think this was the best of the CD videos yet! And I think I even understood the explanations! Well done, CD.

Arick Armendariz

Captain, so I rewatched the episode again, and after thinking about it for awhile, I'm really going to have to reconsider my monthly pledge. I just didn't a see a good reason why 8 dollars a month is worth it... So I've bumped it up to 15! I only wish I would have done this sooner and maybe I would have had the chance to be an official Disillusion Agent :( I honestly don't know why there are not more people following you, you're great!

CaptainDisillusion

Thank you so much. This is very generous of you. Hope you find the tutorials you'll have access to useful. I'm working on a new one right now! And Disillusion Agent spots occasionally open up, so I guess keep an eye out ;)
