He talked almost 6min with no content . I still can’t believe.

Mom: why are you laughing? Me: *It's nothing*

A rare Ted talk where the entire audience completely understood what the presenter was trying to say

This guy made it seem like he was saying nothing while teaching us public speaking skills. Respect.

This is the equivalent to adding random words to reach the word count.

When you present a school project you never did.

Actually, this presentation taught me that having confident is seriously important in public speaking.

our teacher made us watch this with the sound off and it looks like he's really giving an amazing speech

If you say anything with enough confidence, people will believe you.

It must be so awkward to have a talk after him.

This guy literally made the greatest TED talk out of nothing

What I love about this is that not only is it a jab at the typical TED talk formula, but it’s in itself a meta demonstration of how important your appearance, cadence, tone, gestures, and overall confidence and eloquence are to public speaking, almost more important than your actual content.

"Notice how the majority far exceeds the minority"

This dude literally just layed out a format.

Really fascinating that "now I'm gonna change the tone" It actually changed the vibe of the room Proof that your actual words are just a small part of what you say

This is pure genius. I would hate to be the person who went on after him. What a rockstar for saying what everyone was thinking. Amazed that they let him do this without censoring it!

This guy just roasted every TED talk in existence THROUGH a TED talk of his own. What a badass.

Deaf people watching this like: damn this dude is smart

He gave us the algorithm on how to make a perfect public speech

I use this TED Talk in my class every year. It's a perfect example of how to give a strong speech/presentation/TED Talk because students can focus on the method instead of getting distracted by the meaning. The words he says serve to emphasize these speaking techniques worth mentioning.

this is equivalent to adding "However" to my essay assignment

"I'm taking off my glasses which, by the way, are just frames." Sums up the whole thing

This man taught us Nothing and Everything at the same time in under 6 minutes! Legendary!

This man just taught us the blueprint for giving a ted talk This tops every ted talk in existence

this actually kinda teaches you how to make a speech more interesting and intellectual without it being either

I felt like I learned something from this, But i didn't.

Teach me something without me realizing that I've been taught something. Outstanding.

I was watching this with headphones and my mom came up behind me and told me she was glad I was watching something informative

I just wanted to illustrate 2 important points . . Thank you

"These are real numbers" lol

"You can't have humour in Ted Talks" Will Stephen: "hold my glasses-like glasses"

めっちゃ笑ったと同時に、賢そうな雰囲気で話す相手に騙されないように気をつけようと思った 教育的なプレゼンだった

People say this guy is just trolling and doing a speech without content. But he's portraying most of people who do their bland speech in Ted talks and trying to be inspirational with no interesting content. He's so accurate that you can recognize every technique he used in other Ted talks

He says he has nothing to say, but what he really has is a very sophisticated parody of Tedx Talks themselves

I first saw this video 5 years ago and been watching every year since then. This is still my favorite TED Talk about public speaking. The points that he’s supposed to be telling to the audience, he’s actually acting it. What a brilliant guy!

This is simply the best Tedx talk I’ve ever witnessed

Me when the teacher asks me to give a presentation

Is this "inside the mind of a master procrastinator"

This is pure genius! The most educated Ted Talk ever!

Imagine what the guy going after him must be feeling like...

I'm gonna say something in this comment section, and then all of you will agree, nod your head and give me a thumb up.

This is almost harder than an actual talk

It is amazing that if you just use "professional" words to replace those words, such as "Majority," "Minority," etc., then the speech itself is perfect for any kind of situation.

The fact that is actually giving us a literal format for a Ted talk and what to do for one and that itself is lots of info. Thanks for your "talk" .

in summation: 1. talk with your hands and use expressive inflection to project confidence 2. ask the audience questions 3. share a personal anecdote to make the material feel persona 4. appeal to authority 5. throw out statistics and data 6. use images 7. build intensity, then bring it down 8. dress the part 9. change the tone from lighthearted to heavier near the end 10. connect the end of the speech to the beginning

Reminds me of Apple devices presentation lol

Absolutely perfect template for a public speech just plug in your topic, lol

the beauty of the ted talk , started with nothing ended with nothing but taught something new .... Very hilarious, and can't stop watching it XD

i have nothing to write here, but look i wrote something.

My life is based off this speech.

This is perhaps one of the best talk I've ever had for the last 17 years. It's something instead of nothing which by the way really got me thinking. Very well oriented and presented.

かなり前のUKpostsですが 人の前で話す 見せ方 惹き付けておく手法 とても勉強になります

I'm Japanese🇯🇵 and I showed this video to my friend who isn't good at English. He said with admiration ”wow I don't know what he says, but he is presenting something important to human beings” lol 😆

This is a comment on UKposts.

His voice, his confidence and his accent are all fascinating. He's describing most of the people making their bland speeches in Ted's lectures and trying to inspire them without interesting.

This is one of the TED talks I’ve ever seen. It is so real and existing. I feel my life changed from watching this, which has as I’ve spent five minutes of my life reading this.

He : I was gone for a Ted talk. Friend: what did you talk. He: nothing

5 years later. Still one of my fave ted talks. When you break it down it actually teaches the general skills of public speaking really well in under 6 minutes.

15 years of public speaking and this talk taught me something really important showing it in a way that is as original as it is fun. Brilliant!!!!! 👍

これ好きすぎて定期的に見にきてる

This guy successfully wasted 6minutes of our lives without us getting mad.... Wow

A few lessons from this talk: 1) How important the non-verbal part of our communication is. Through simple tone, volume, speed and pauses you can convey meaning that together with logical sentences creates ideas. So you don't need say something in order to sound smart - the listener will interpret it as such. 2) TED Talks might be a bit gibberish or controversial or both, especially since this talk seems to have one of the lowest down-vote ratios 3) This was a great example of a meta-analysis of TED Talks and how one should structure an effective Ted Talk. 4) This is a great example of courage being demonstrated and exploited in terms of thinking outside the box. 5) This was a good example of how to do a comedic piece and of a type of meta-comedy.

This is one of the TED talks I’ve ever seen. It is so real and existing. I feel my life changed, which has as I’ve spent five minutes of my life watching this.

Love it. It's a reminder that just because someone is giving a TED/TEDx talk, doesn't mean they are correct or even brilliant at all... I've heard some TEDx talks that sound good to start, only to realize halfway through that what I've been listening to is bs and full of logical fallacies.

"These are real numbers!" Lol. True literally and mathematically 🤣🤣

"I was offered a Ted Talk and damn it, I'm gonna see it through" HAHAHAHAA

My english teacher showed this to us as an example of a good public speech, and it's still one of my favourites today. Learnt a lot whilst simultaneously nothing at all.

3:14 THESE ARE REAL NUMBERS. anyone else catch the slight math joke there? Cause this is the second time I’ve seen this video I did not.

Ok, so if you're the kind of person that looks at comments before watching the video, watch the video with no sound once, and then watch it again with sound. I promise you will not be disappointed

This is Lorem Ipsum of Ted talks. It's not the content that matters, but the container

3:09 “Four, four, twenty four. S T A G G E R I N G .”

He speaks with full confidence, and amazing style of voice and emotion ❤

This is actually every Ted talk ever

Watched this without audio. This guy is amazing. Great points. I liked the part when he showed those graphs. What a genius.

This was in fact a harder task than giving an actual Ted Talk

Literally the only TED Talk you need.

This is so unsatisfying, my heart is telling me, "you're learning something", my brain is saying, "what the heck, I'm learning nothing"

I’m Japanese so For the first time I heard his speech I thought he says something important . And I can’t understood why people laugh But second time I watched subtitles , I understand why It’s interesting

When he says his glasses are just frames, that’s when I started laughing and where he got the people into it fully

Wish he could apply that to the SNL sketch he just wrote about his buddy Ned Fulmer...

"Style over substance" is the point; a jab at the formulaic nature of all TEDx talks, and a broader commentary on how one can speak while saying nothing.

4 4 24 *Staggering*!

this is one of the best TED conference i have ever WATCHED . such a character and an entertainer.

6 minutes of nothing to say, yet we were enthralled, laughed, and stuck around to the end!

He literally summed up every TED talk ever.

If anyone was wondering, the "scientist" at 1:55 is Raymond Pearl, pioneering American biologist renowned for his studies of the aging process.

The tone of voice, the pitch, the music of it … He aced it.. He is an actor after all. The meaning is that tone of voice conveys emotion. Any emotion equals meaning ❤

The funniest part in this talk is how much time he took to prepare and thought about the things he said... This is by far one of the best Ted talks I've ever seen and I'm sure the reason why he is confident is because he prepared for it. Preparation is key

ted talks but does ted listen :(

The pacing of this talk, the vocal variety and intonations are impeccable. It's both completely meaningless and yet utterly brilliant- and hilarious!

This is the best "nothing" i've ever heard

Genial. Uma das melhores palestras sobre apresentações já feitas. Great. One of the best presentations ever.

Full disclosure: This talk is brought to you by two TED staffers, who have watched a LOT of TED Talks. *Noice.*

NOW when someone asks him wooow you did a TED talk how cool is that? he can just reply with oh it was nothing

Anos depois, continua incrível... Parabéns a dupla que fez as legendas, sempre vale a pena ter um conteúdo desse disponível em nosso idioma :)

"Captivating" - Forbes "Innovative" - Rolling Stone "Nothing Compares" - Rotten Tomatoes "On the edge of my seat" - TED

The best shit ever. So creative, bravo!

I'm an itty bitty baby bopper and I'm hungwy in my tum tum

Plot twist: He actually needed to make an important Ted Talk thing but he forgot it, and on the last day before this talk, he made a really quick, uninspired, almost improvised power point presentation that resulted in this

I will come to this to refresh my presentation skills. Or maybe my public speaking skills. And IT ALWAYS makes me chuckle. And I love it!
