This one and the one where he investigates the guy who supposedly sailed around Staten Island are my favourites. I love the way he unpacks the investigative process

Not sure I've seen that Staten Island one, but I've queued it up now!
I really liked the US State Flag one, that tickled me good.
His video on runway numbers is great as well
The airport codes and interstate codes videos are similarly great!
I really like CGPgray, except for like, 10 years ago, when he made a video about why the british monarchy is necessary and useful.
He never says they're necessary but does explain how they're useful. Is the royal family not actually bringing in more money for the government than they're using?
This was a good one to watch
Really didn't cover that part of Alexander Pope's life in The DaVinci Code, did they?
Despite it being the driving force of his entire life.
Alexander Pope was that bitch.
That was much funnier and much more entertaining and interesting than I ever would have guessed.
There's a few of them where he's gone off the deep end, for viewer entertainment. The rock, paper, scissors video(s) are particularly intricate.
lol that was the one I watched after posting that comment!
Amazing!
Damn you for making me watch that. All the way to the end and beyond. In one pass. And for becoming better for having watched it.
edit2: added quotes, fixed words
Awesome video! Always a great time when we go on rabbit hole adventures!

These [corrections] how much soever they may look like ridicule... are undoubted confirmations of [your] industry, and will ever be thought so by persons of deeper penetration. - Alexander Pope
Damning with faint praise. - Alexander Pope
He was a most sordid poor wretch; had universal mistrust of the generality of mankind; lived in a solvenly, stingy manner, and died possessed of what he had not the heart to enjoy. - Alexander Pope
Thomas Hearne vs. Alexander Pope, reminds me of hiphop social media beefs, like the 50 Cent one, hahaha
