C.G.P. Grey is a web-based producer of educational entertainment videos on YouTube. Grey has dual American and Irish citizenship. The channel features short explanatory videos on varying subjects, including politics, geography, economics, and British culture. The channel's first popular video was an explanation of the terminology of the British Isles, which went viral. Since then, Grey's videos have received increasing attention, having been covered by several publications, including ''Business Insider'', ''The Huffington Post'', ''Forbes'', and ''The Washington Post''.〔〔〔〔 Grey was also the first person in London to buy an iPad Pro. The channel has also spawned several spin-offs, including a secondary channel, ''CGPGrey2'', and a channel with playlists of Grey's favorite videos called ''greysfavs''. In addition to video production, Grey is known for creating the podcast ''Hello Internet'' with Brady Haran, creator of many well known educational YouTube channels. In 2015, he started another podcast titled ''Cortex'' with Myke Hurley of Relay FM. ==Videos== The channel ''CGP Grey'' features, among other things, ''Grey Explains'', a series of explanatory videos on a range of subjects, including politics, geography, economics, and British culture. The videos feature Grey narrating over animations and still photographs. While nearly all of Grey's videos feature his voice, his face has never been shown in his videos, and Grey always has his face obscured when appearing in other people's videos; he generally uses a stick figure with glasses to represent himself. His videos also often include hidden links, often leading to Monty Python videos.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://politicsisstupid.com/link/324953 )〕 Grey has stated that the presentation style of his videos is influenced by that of Yahtzee Croshaw's ''Zero Punctuation'' series.〔 Grey uses Final Cut Pro X to edit and add animations to his videos, and records his voice over the music playing in the background on Logic Pro X. The backing music is usually credited to Kevin MacLeod. Videos are released on the channel significantly less frequently than other YouTube channels; Grey has said that this is due to careful rigor, with the majority of videos never being finished. Grey's video debunking popular misconceptions has been featured on CBS. Two videos differentiate London, England and the City of London, while explaining certain oddities that arise from the ancient customs of the latter. Another two videos explaining copyright law and The Electoral College have been featured on Mashable.〔 The channel has also explained the economic disadvantages of U.S. one-cent coins, in another viral video, ''Death to Pennies''. The video ''How to Become Pope'' also went viral. Several videos, under the collective name "Politics in the Animal Kingdom", explain some differences between various election procedures, and are critical of first-past-the-post voting (gerrymandering, minority rule, lack of Condorcet winner, two-party system, spoiler effect) and discuss the relative advantages of the alternative vote, mixed-member proportional representation, and the single transferable vote. Grey's videos have been described as explanatory and sobering, especially ''Humans Need Not Apply'', a video not included in his ''Grey Explains'' series. ''Humans Need Not Apply'' was positively covered by several publications, including ''Business Insider'', ''The Huffington Post'', and ''Forbes''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CGP Grey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
