Captain Disillusion is a superhero who uses his superior critical thinking powers and intimate knowledge of digital editing and effects to debunk hoax Web videos for the benefit of mankind. Found on his own YouTube channel.
Captain Disillusion provides examples of the following tropes:
- Catch Phrase: "Love with your heart, but use your brain for everything else."
- Crowning Music of Awesome: The music that plays at the end of each episode.
- Defying Gravity: Flying off set at the end of almost every episode.
- Science Show: In a sense.
- Special Effects Failure: Not so much in his own show, unless it's intentional.
- Special Guest: James Randi, who helped the Captain debunk an illusion that relies on old-fashioned physical effects instead of digital editing.
