CGP Grey

CGP 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.

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. Grey has stated that the presentation style of his videos is influenced by that of Yahtzee Croshaw's Zero Punctuation series.
