Superlatives are the worst.
What was the least favorite superlative you have ever gotten?
Hello Dirk from Veristablum
What’s your favorite superlative, then?
Ah yes the Duke from Venezuela. We meet again
Enrico Susatyo “Dereck from Veritasium”
*David Attenborough voice* And here we can see the rare and critically endangered species of CZcams video, a newly uploaded CGP Grey video.
It is a subspecies of the endangered no clickbait and has real facts channels.
I wait so long for these :')

This video solidified the definition of the word superlative in my brain. Also thanks for referencing Sweet Home Alabama. We miss you here.
Hey Destin, on a scale of 1-10, what is your favorite color of the alphabet? (Hehehe 😁)
I get way too excited when I see you comment on any video! I love what you're doing, and I really enjoyed the recent series you did. Keep up the good work, Destin!
Sweet home Alabama - hehe.

For some reason it seems that steam always overshoots how long I play a game for
Nick Right because it tracks how long the game is running(paused, minimized, menus, loading screens... all count)

"On a scale of 1-10, what is your favorite color of the alphabet?"
I asked around, and got answers ranging from "Dragon" to "Plaid". The funniest one was: "Don't you mean the letterbet?"
"Letterbet"
lol
my favorite is octopus
Epsilon
i choose either wednesday or fish
Are you ever going to address all of those moments when you said, “That’s a story for another time?”
He's done so once. He made a video about federal land after saying in the statue of liberty video that is was a story for another time.

"My people" He said referring to the Irish, as an American living in England.
He is Irish-American and has dual citizenship
@@troychavez I know I'm making a joke.
Heritage is weird
Oh hey pepp
He's only living in England because of that Irish citizenship
0:15 I just absolutely loves the little info icon that pops up, and just says "he's so pretty". It makes me smile every time.
"In life there are no solutions, only tradeoffs." - This is the most eloquent way to sum up my life experience. Thank you.

“In life there are no solutions, only trade offs.”
This quote is so true it needs a video of its own.
It's from "A Conflict of Visions" by Thomas Sowell.
agreed
This hit home so hard surprisingly.
Really it is one of the truest thought I've heard .
Yes
rarely do so few actual answers tell so much about a person. Grey has easily my favorite non-answer answers.
"On a scale of 1-10, what is your favorite color of the alphabet?"
LOL, thank you!

FlorKiler new we’re top chicken
Holy crap that box was so well packed.
Me: pffff people fighting over other peoples preferences is so dumb
Also me: he uses Farenheit let me unsub real quick
He doesn't just use it, he LIKES it! D:
Fahrenheit is better anyways. Good on Grey for liking it.
I mean honestly I understand why people prefer metric to the American system but I really don’t understand why anyone would choose C over F if there was no bias
Kelvin is best
@@russelldavis1359 I find C is useful for weather and for cooking, as almost all of my decisions for either revolve mostly around whether the temperature in question is above or below freezing (is there gonna be ice?), or above or below the boiling point (Do I need to worry about overcooking?), respectively. Otherwise, I don't really use temperature for anything other than converting to and from Kelvin, which is easier with C.
Grey:"F° is my Favorite"
The entire World:"Hold my Thermometer!"
*Thermofoot
C* is the best because of kelvin
I will never trust him again.
1,500 hours in Factorio? This is downright causal status.
What did it cause?
2000 hours in CK2? pffff you gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers.

I've found, when it comes to the internet making my attention span shorter and me reading less- it's not that I can't hold my attention on a book. it's that my standards have raised, so that now it's book vs internet instead of book vs be bored. I still find myself being sucked into books, even book series, and the internet makes it much easier to buy an entire series in a day (I read on my phone). but a book I don't enjoy as much? I'll stop after a page or two, come back, repeat a few times, and eventually never look at it again, when previously it was better than nothing.
I personally wish I had that attention span back.
We want more, and we want better, and we want faster.
The internet gives us all 3, but books drag behind.
It's a rare marvel to see a book live up to our modern standards.
wow. This is exactly what I feel & do, but I couldn't have described it as well as you did. Random thanks to you for explaining my actions to myself.
I think it's possible for someone to _believe_ this is their mindset, but really they've just acclimated to instant gratification.
The human brain is wired to prefer strong bursts of dopamine, especially if those bursts are unpredictable. That's why gambling can be so addictive. So you read one clever comment or post, and the high will carry you through an ocean of garbage until you find the next one. But when you've trained on that and then are faced with a project like a whole book, now your preferences have shifted to the point where you can't get through it unless every page is rewarding you. This won't help much when trying to read something like a philosophical treatise or the federalist papers or Jules Verne.
I'm not saying books are inherently better or that you don't know your own mind, but I am saying that it seems like this position, especially for people who don't realize how bad their _average_ reading diet has become, could easily just be a rationalization.
Favorite Magic colors?
"Black and blue obviously"
Well hello there fellow control player. There' nothing quite as enjoyable as slowly crushing the hopes and dreams of your opponent and grinding their sanity to pieces.
Anyone casts a spell and the pod turns to robot Grey to see if it resolves
It's been several years since I last played, but my favourite was green with a few white spells.
There was some elf who was cheap, could buff friendly creatures sky high and my deck had four of them plus resurrection spells.
I don't remember black and blue but I remember it was pretty good, too.

For whatever reason, I never got into podcasts until shortly before Covid, but HI was one of the first I got into, going through much of the back catalog ... just in time for it to stop posting. I hope it's just on hiatus and not discontinued.
Too soon :(.
Or maybe it should be too long in this case?
Who needs D&D when you have your "Dinosaur Attack" cards?

Everyone needs table-top RPGs; they just don't know it.
There are Dinosaurs in D&D.
0:11 I love that Henry's stick figure is exactly like in his own video's: drawn and without a face or any other attribute. He is recognisable and unrecognisable at the same time.
That makes sense. I was having a hard time with him. Looks like Destin, Derek and Brady?
I thought it was meant to be Randall Munroe for a second but that makes more sense.

pleaseeeeee
Thank Odin. I'm so glad you agree not to loose that on us.
My wife introduced me to the concept of the Irish goodbye and it is fantastic! Total game changer. I give it a perfect 5 out of 7, highly recommend.
Thank you for being awesome. As someone who's just a touch over their first year of self employment I feel your past pain. So many "This will make things all better... nope even worse" I cannot describe how enjoyable in a short form listening to your work while I work on mine (I'm a professional Gamemaster). Thanks for all the inspiration and knowledge.
"Favorite world leader."
"You can't be serious."
Obviously this means Kim Jong Un.
Kim Jong Un is not a world leader.
Yet.
Superlative was one of those words that I never understood and just seem to ignore it until now. Wish I learned this when I was in grade school

What a missed opportunity for a pun.
The pun would be: Less of the Reddit equals more of the *read* it.

I would love to hear you talk more about failure. It’s usually a skipped part but I believe we would benefit to see it as a natural part of life.
Red Letter Media is one of the best things to happen to CZcams, and I'm so happy to see that you appreciate them too, since you're definitely in that category as well. Warm cozy feelings all around!
I love the smell of fresh CGP in the morning. Happy early Christmas!
As I look out my window and see my very green lawn covered by a layer of snow in LATE APRIL, I have very mixed feeling about an early Christmas comment.
Ew. Bathe more.

Perfect description of growing to love Red Letter Media: start with gateway classic and move onto mainlining the hard stuff.
Some of those are quite heart-felt, thank you Grey!
"But Fahrenheit is my favorite" DEAR GOD
I felt that lack of air conditioning speech on a visceral level
I found this channel stumbling around years ago. I only subscribed because he had the name grey. It was my favorite color. And that the simple story of me.
Would you rather live in a world where everything (colours/screens/ lights, ect) were just that little too bright, or that little bit too dark?
I would not so rather.
Fah Fahrenheit!??

I laughed a little too much at that.
In the Red letter media clip you showed they are wearing a CGP t shirt that is fantastic
I felt this video in my soul. Thank you
CGP Grey likes Redlettermedia... it feels like a weird dream where my two favorite youtube channels just got mixed up.
I found RedLetterMedia through CGP Grey, because a few years ago he talked about Plinkett reviews on Hello Internet. And adding to the confusion there is an early episode of Best of the Worst in which Jack is wearing a CGP Grey t-shirt.
I felt kind of proud for some reason that it's also one of my favorites. It's like the teacher saying she personally loves a movie and its also your favorite movie.
RLM was for a longtime the only yter I watched, ultimately I watched this channel a few days ago because Preston Jacobs mentioned him
he also likes yahtzee
welp, I don't know about you, but this video was one of my favorites.
SUPERLATIVE DETECTED
Thank you for uploading this, Because of this video I found out you do a podcast with another one of my favorite youtubers. If you have checked it out yet it’s really good, Brady and grey are both great creators.
This is my favorite CGP Grey Q&A.
Goddammit, now I need to find all the bees.
"On a scale of 1-10, what is your favourite color of the alphabet?" has got to be my new favourite question to annoy people with. Thanks!
**Obligatory Jacksfilms:** '"RANDOM DOESN'T EQUAL FUNNY"

Random does not equal funny.
The answer is Square btw
@@General12th But they sometimes correlate.
I love that in the first clip one of the members in RedLetterMedia was wearing a CGP Grey shirt
I just realised he copy-cated the MacBook Air commercial with the envelop.

knowing that CGP Grey also spends hours of his life watch RLM makes me feel like like I've made good life choices
That's tribalism at play here, mate. Exactly what dirk from vertibratespine warned against.

Both my favourite channels loving RedLetterMedia, I need to check this channel out.
I really want to set down and play some group EDH with Grey and then run a D&D game with him....although my lack of historical accuracy in my world building would probably cause him to hit me with that Macbook....
So many big youtubers are fans of RLM and yet they haven't reached a million subs :/
Thanks for shouting them out

6:36 Dinosaurs Attack cards?? Nice one, Grey
Thank you for your explanation on why favorites seem to get more pointless as time goes on. I found it mirrored my feelings on the matter perfectly.
Funny thing is I remember _having_ favorites in my younger days. A favorite band, movie, show, video game, ice cream, yadda yadda yadda. But for the life of me I can't even remember what any of them were.
I feel like having a favorite is like another way of saying, "Nothing else in my life will please me the way this has," but as time has gone on, I have found of ton of shows, movies, games, and so on that have entertained me and have kept me engaged/distracted.
All that being said, Neon Genesis Evangelion is _still_ my favorite series, if my username wasn't already an indication, and I don't see that changing any time soon.

I guess when you get older, you collect more experiences and become more aware of contuextual qualities, that there is no longer a thing that is best under all circumstances. For example black is my favourite cloth color, but black food?
However there is a single best domain registrar, which is Hover.
I agree, i stopped having "Favourites" now. Just things i like an enjoy. No favourite people either. If you make someone out to be a hero youll only get dissapointed when you find out hes not perfect. And noone is, perfect that is.
I really like how charmingly Grey drew Brady and Derrick
you got me to successfully improve my life! Thanks Grey.
also your podcasts have become the lifeblood of my schedule. did i mention that you got me into podcasts?
simple beep, ATP, cortex, hello internet, halo podcast evolved, i live off of podcasts now, which may be bad.

@@danielantonsson1429 It's not him. You can google Greys face if you want to be disapointed.
@@TheGoukaruma That's pretty harsh. He's not particularly ugly. He's actually rather average looking. Not like Brady, who is hard as nails, posh like cushions, and handsome af.

Hey Grey, thanks for baring yourself about some of your failures. Easily the most inspiring things are when creators you look up to share their hardships, it's sort of like they're reaching out and saying "see? It's never THAT easy. But I came out the other end and you can too" Thanks man.
