The video has gotten incorrectly copyright flagged. Hopefully it will be fixed soon, but it’s moments like these that make me double appreciate all my Bonnie Bees! 💚 🐝 💚
If you find this flag cool, just check out Brazil’s flag. It is a flag that have a star map of the south night sky within it, and each star represent a state from the federation, with the most up north (Amapá) state being represented above every other, since it is past the Equador line (represented by the line that cross the globe on the flag)
It looks near identical to the ethereum logo
It was E.A. … wasn’t it ?!
@Luigi Patterrz(Wohao_Gaster) lmao 😆
I can’t believe Grey didn’t spend 8 months and a plane trip to Redwood City to see if EA knew about the origins of 3D World Atlas. He’s come such a long way since Staten Island.
Ah don’t worry, that’s be next video
Honestly makes me sad, I very much prefer those long videos.
he wants to wait for it to get into the public domain and claim it for himself
It’s impressive this didn’t happen
Ah yes, the 2019 Staten Island incident… never again
This sounds weird but I was seriously concerned for Grey’s partner freezing to death and Grey just monologing to a frozen corpse.
at 0.33 why has UK a crown but not Norway?
Poor lil guy needs a scarf
Same! Give that guy a scarf!
(Apparently that’s all you need to stay warm in Antarctica)
Always wear a scarf and gloves when in Antarctica.
He must have kept the video short to avoid just that?
For the sake of Grey’s wellbeing and mental health, I’m super glad he managed to contain himself.
For the sake of my own cruel and easily distracted mind, I’m slightly disappointed there was no hour long descent into existential madness.
I am a bad person.
Simple or labyrinthine, our household is going to end up watching it 12 times and rewatching the entire back catalogue anyway, just like we do every time there’s a new video CGP Grey video.
We will create our own descent into madness, as it should be.
High praise 🤗
@Scott finding his way out of the last rabbit hole…?
This is the way.
Commendable.
Carry on.
I was going to say: I wish he had gone into the Forest, it makes for such entertaining videos xD
But he’s probably wandering through it for various other projects
My favourite part of all my favourite parts of Grey’s videos is his wonderful voice-over. Not just the sound, but the emotions. So much glee, or anger, or confusion, or hesitation, etc. Of all essay YouTubers I watch, this is the pinnacle of voice-over. What an acting talent!
On his and Myke Hurley’s “Cortex” podcast where he talks about his work (among many other things) you really get a sense of how much, time, effort, and revision he puts in to make the quality of script and audio so polished. It’s impressive.
He’s mastered the art of being completely deadpan while also showing so much emotion
Indeed, his voice is very expressive and dynamic without being too over the top
For anyone wondering, the flags at 0:43 are (from left to right):
Oskar Pernefeldt’s proposed “International Flag of Planet Earth”,
Pascal Lee’s Mars flag,
The flag of Gondor from Lord of the Rings,
An unidentifiable pizza-looking flag (maybe an invention of Grey? Seriously no idea),
And what looks like a stylised German heraldic eagle [edit: turns out it’s the flag of Syldavia from Tintin]
@diggoran I though I might have recognized it from somewhere and it was definitely the Colorado flag. The colors are very similar.
Ah, an easter egg so obscure, even Grey’s audience has trouble figuring it out.
This must fill him with joy.
Looks more like a triangular block of cheese to me – a part of a circular block of cheese.
The pizza flag looks like it took inspiration from the Colorado flag
Imagine telling EA that they could possibly have a right to Antarctica’s flag.
@Danielle Tinkov This version of the deal also applies, with $5.99 antarctic flag penguin plushies coming to target from 1/09/2023.
Starting at $15.99, you can buy the antarctic gamepass, which gives you free antarctica fortnite skins, and for $199.99, you can buy the ultra antarctica gamepass, giving you the right to look at and take a screenshot of the antarctica flag. Alternatively, you can do this deal as 12.99 a month with a 3 day free trial, which excludes taking the screenshot
Furthermore, no contract is refundable. Thank you for your time.
DLCs and mobile versions of Antarctica incoming.
Sssssssssh🤫
They might just claim the whole continent if they knew
We’re all very proud of you Grey for not going back into the forest. Even if it did take you 3 months to make a 5 minute video
He didn’t, actually. He made a rule this year to make it so he has a one video buffer, so that for sure he has a video for December, which is the most important time to put out a video. He talks about it on the most recent theme episode of Cortex.
I’m not. Those are my favourite parts of his videos! I put up with his irritating fetish for alliteration to see those bits!
Many have ventured into the Forest of Knowledge, but few have returned, at least with their minds intact…
Ouch
I can’t wait for the follow-up video to this where Grey actually reveals to us how much time this actually took
@EternusNex that sounds like grey
Ah yes, the 37 min video where he explains exactly what research he didn’t do, that he did actually do and now needs to share it
That shot of the symmetry between the flags of Greenland and Antarctica was the most satisfying thing ever 🤤
@Thestuff nope Not propably. The same 100% as this is a bot.
@Junedude433 Maybe it is one of Bing-Sydney’s alter egos?
@Howzit Toyah one hundred percent a bot. OG comment is probably down here somewhere. Report it.
They copy and paste a human’s comment. They’re probably a bot.
Your channel looks exactly like that of a bot, yet you seem human. Strange.
