He broke down the structure of Ted Talks, laid it out, and also led some people to question how useful some of these talks really are. Hence the comment above "I feel like I learned something but I didn't" and the reply: "That's how I feel after every ted talk."
No. He made it look like he made it look like he was saying something, while actually saying nothing, while actually giving a really good TED Talk about TED Talks.

@@bhaddash no… having confidence is most certainly the most important thing while public speaking. you can be the smartest person in the room and it won’t matter, if u can’t act like you’re the smartest person in the room you won’t be taken seriously

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
@@racool911 he is right lol, otherwise ted tlak wouldn't even let him talk there. He wants to criticize all those speeches with hollow words, wich look good bit were they are actually saying 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.
Literally. He trolled on meta level and showed that the image you make is more important than the actual truth. I.e. a confident dude ends up getting a higher mark than the knowledgable but clunky one (don't say it's just looks, it happens anyway, even with cameras off). Though he said he "provided nothing", it's actually a good commentary
Depends on whether entertainment is the main goal. Personally I rather listen to "boring" guy who has what to say, than somebody with great speaking skills without any content. I actually find these perfectly speaking entertaining performers irritating, because they kind of manipulate me how I should perceive the presented information.
@@jendabekCZ The goal of anyone giving a speech of this kind is establishing credibility and persuasion of the audience. While you may prefer the boring/clunky guy that has more substance, the majority of people are not the same way. The reality is that most people will believe what you tell them if you say it with confidence and throw up some kind of number. It doesn't even matter what your evidence is, most people will just see "claim+graph=true." Even if somebody else has a stronger argument, if your delivery is weak, people think your point is weak. Is it unfortunate that people are that manipulable? Sure, but that is the reality, and anyone with something important to say ought to learn that. Humans are emotionally driven creatures, even the people that do genuinely pursue facts and evidence (like I would assume you and I are) have to overcome their initial biases and emotive responses to the performance.
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.
Yeah I don't like that many people take this as a mockery of other ted talks as having no content. It's a talk about how to make even the blandest topics seems interesting and if all talks were like this, they'd likely be more interesting.
Well, something that seems to be a certain way draws attention - and attention makes it relevant. Someone who has something really interesting or important to say is wasting it if nobody cares. The power is inside arousing interest - no matter the topic you talk about.
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 😆
I agree with Labeeba Sayed. He's modeling a speaking template with nothing in it. Fascinating and entertaining for me who is learning all I can so I can present well. Plus, laughing is never a waste of time.
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
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.
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.
Have a comment disagreeing with your statement that uses poor grammar/spelling and uses curse words in hopes that it will break your spirit and give me a sense of power over you.
Ruby Rose Will immediately point out that your last post in fact demonstrated grammatical prowess, and deride you for being a (insert profanity) hipster.
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
Yeah... Like the gesticulating and taking off the glasses has to have perfect timing. And he has to do it without a single 'uhm' or 'uhh'. Also, he can't improvise.
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
honestly this guy, besides the obvious speaking and performance skills, have some rly gr8 observational skills too. i didnt realize ted talks could be so formulaic and he figured the whole thing out. cheers to him and to nothing
Finally found someone on here! This is the most cliche and low-blow at presenters I’ve seen. Hardly the best TedX talk - although memorable. There are presenters on here who have really inspired and changed my life and a guy who possibly cleverly teaches an audience how to have a cliche of a Ted talk that lacks heart… is hardly “the best”.

Real life story, I did ALMOST THE EXACT SAME THING for a 20 minute presentation I had for my university class that should have been prepared in one week, I did it the night before and my teacher told me it was one of the best presentations she has ever heard and that it was so well researched and presented
I did almost the same too, I read an article the day before and also prepared the presentation to the next day. The teacher after my talk said that I include some really nice informations that were directly related to the ones we were studying. The good part was that it just last 2h to de done
I thought this was probably the most interesting TED talk I've listened to. Apart from it being an interesting commentary on psychology, it also allows one to think about delivery. By extension we may see how people are easily convinced of weak arguments from those in positions of authority and such.
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.
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.
I was waiting for "and here is an imaginary number too for you nerds", but that would divide the audience and establish two kinds of nothing, one nothing for nerds and one for the rest.
I believe you are reading into his comment a bit too much. Also this talk was thought provoking for me at least. The way he deconstructs the paradigm of the usual TED Talk is inspiring and let's not forget he's talking utter nonsense yet still manages to sound like he's an expert talking about something important. In a way that makes the speech brilliant. If you are smart you should be able to see that. Also, you're being rude. CHEERS BRUH
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!
Gonna show a friend this video. Start at full screen so he doesn't see the title, play the video with the sound on mute, and then have him guess what this guy's TEDx talk is about.
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.
Damn that legitimately took a lot of skill. I am both annoyed and impressed by his ability to make literally "nothing" interesting. Makes me feel more hopeful being able to give a speech and irritated by those that already can... which means I am angry about "nothing"... Good job to the two TED staffers that put this together.
this is a great way to see that there is no such thing as a boring or pointless topic, only boring and pointless speakers. *cough*college professors*cough*
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 ❤

This man taught us Nothing and Everything at the same time in under 6 minutes!
Legendary!
I thought this was probably the most interesting TED talk I've listened to. Apart from it being an interesting commentary on psychology, it also allows one to think about delivery. By extension we may see how people are easily convinced of weak arguments from those in positions of authority and such.
Well said, and very true.
Shiba Doge I'd say, very *very* true (very)
Exactly !
Well said!
True, an important point CAN actually be taken away from this talk.
"These are real numbers" lol
YesReneau they are actual real numbers (rational or irrational numbers)
YesReneau lol from your lol, as your lol shows your math knowledge
STAGGERING!
+YesReneau I wanted him to put 3+i up there sooo much XD
+YesReneau All of them were real numbers...
Even though this Ted Talk is useless, it has taught me how to talk better in presentations.
then it wasn't useless.
Thats what it was intended for
+William Slicer I'm planning to share it with some students I'm trying to improve their public speaking.
+k9pker I wish my teachers would do that.
+William Slicer It wasn't useless then.
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.

+SirTopEmHat oh Damn it,you beat me to it
our teacher made us watch this with the sound off and it looks like he's really giving an amazing speech
He is
A Sprout main!
Just thought this would be a great learning tool in class
He did, it was a great learning experience. If you want to be a good speaker you should definitely watch this, it looks like he’s doing a great job.
ME TOO
why is this the most mindblowing ted talk I have ever watched
You must have been watching the wrong Ted Talks.
because it's relatable
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.
"These are real numbers!"
Lol. True literally and mathematically 🤣🤣
Gosh, yeah... I didn't even think about that.
I was thinking the same hahaha
I was waiting for him to bring up something imaginary be like: "However, this number isn't [real]"
I was waiting for "and here is an imaginary number too for you nerds", but that would divide the audience and establish two kinds of nothing, one nothing for nerds and one for the rest.
"staggering!"
This is the best TED talk I've ever seen.
.
I believe you are reading into his comment a bit too much. Also this talk was thought provoking for me at least. The way he deconstructs the paradigm of the usual TED Talk is inspiring and let's not forget he's talking utter nonsense yet still manages to sound like he's an expert talking about something important. In a way that makes the speech brilliant. If you are smart you should be able to see that. Also, you're being rude.
CHEERS BRUH
I have no idea what the other two replies to my comment are about...
thats probably coz its the only video that you have seen of TED :D
so you like the "nothing", which translate into "nothing" is good :D
you might as well just keep watching this talk over and over its the same as watching a bunch of different ones
Vini Franchelli Not James Veitch’s though.
+Almighty Octopus totally
Hahahaha
You currently have 999 likes. Aaand done. Four digits.
I think more people need to watch the TeDxBoulder talk 'I was almost a school shooter'. I feel it is very important right now.
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" .
"Notice how the majority far exceeds the minority"
No
nay
nada
Olsa Shamwow zip

damn this guy really knows what he's talking about.
ikr...
whoa !!!!!!!
+Dhruv S
His name isn't Jon Snow but still...
He would make a great standup comedian
@Oliva Gina That would be fun!
He writes for saturday night live and has done other comedy work
@@themauiwaui didn't know that!
He already do
Well, the descriptions says he is a "professional funny person", whatever that means...
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!!!!! 👍
NOW when someone asks him wooow you did a TED talk how cool is that?
he can just reply with oh it was nothing
Leichtgesalzener- Kabeljauroggen 😂😂 for the first when someone would really mean it
This is actually genius, if you think about it.
+randomtrucks or if you don't.
+phunetics Good point.

Me when the teacher asks me to give a presentation

I am literally basing my entire presentation on this logic

sorry, my cat .......
I did that in real life I have film proof lol
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!
I agree. So entertaining, and so much to learn from it.
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.
So true
+Filip Andrew I think you are right about that.
+Filip Andrew u sir are a genius
+Filip Andrew Oh wow! I never thought about it that way!
+Filip Andrew I AM GOING TO DISAGREE WITH YOU IN ALL CAPS, BECAUSE THAT MAKES ME SEEM LOUDER AND THEREFORE SMARTER!!!!!!
"I was offered a Ted Talk and damn it, I'm gonna see it through" HAHAHAHAA
Ana Virgínia Souza +
Gonna show a friend this video. Start at full screen so he doesn't see the title, play the video with the sound on mute, and then have him guess what this guy's TEDx talk is about.
you godda upload that, would love to see that!
??? What did they guess?
Hahahaha how did it go?
You forgot, the visuals give away the talks intent as well.
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.

These are all REAL numbers!

AriPuff23. Did you mean to make the letters bold? Because you have to seperate the asterisk from any other characters with a space.
I watched this without sound cause my headphones aren't working. It looks like he knows what he's talking about...
+Gebakken Lucht
plenty of things important ... ashuashuashuaa
Passende naam
+Gebakken Lucht I`m gonna try that :D
Why are you watching ted talks without sound in the first place?
+Cartor Doyle irony
I feel so inspired now
I'm invigorated.
He speaks with full confidence, and amazing style of voice and emotion ❤
Damn that legitimately took a lot of skill. I am both annoyed and impressed by his ability to make literally "nothing" interesting. Makes me feel more hopeful being able to give a speech and irritated by those that already can... which means I am angry about "nothing"... Good job to the two TED staffers that put this together.
this is a great way to see that there is no such thing as a boring or pointless topic, only boring and pointless speakers. *cough*college professors*cough*
That was brave from him. I can't decide that I have wasted 6 minutes of my life, or learned how to sound smart and confident.
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 ❤
This is a comment on RUclips.
+Joe Griffin This a reply that implicates that my reply is MORE CLEVER THAN YOURS. It has a second sentence to prove YOUR COMMENT IS FLAWED.

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

MR. RIDDLE
Friend: No come on just tell me
He: honestly nothing
Friend: Come on man just tell me it's obviously something
He: No seriously it was nothing
Friend: Fine then, be like that

Seinfeld would be proud
MR. RIDDLE “what did you talk”
The best shit ever. So creative, bravo!
It's just nothing
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.
What a coincidence, this is one of the TED talks I’ve ever seen too!
I completely agree, after watching this i can truly say that ive seen this video.
One of the ted talks of all time isn't it?
Deaf people watching this like: damn this dude is smart
Matteo Sevenius *captions exist*
But what if they 'heard'(as opposed to saw) right through him?
Yea deaf people watch Ted talks
Wait
Lmao
4:49 Perfect video cut to the two guys wearing the same type of glasses.
They’re twins
both of those guys'glasses are reflecting light
@@-Muhammad_Ali- Nice Glasses though :)
glasses guy #1: hey he made a joke about glasses you should laugh now
glasses guy #2:hahee
This guy claim he’s saying nothing. But this is the most ridiculous accurate outline of a great presentation. Without adding any extra information. Which is ridiculous!
This is simply the best Tedx talk I’ve ever witnessed
@Insufficent Funds this is Sam Hyde for normies
This will be my new template for any and all presentations moving forward. Thanks, Will Stephen ;D
I have and graduated too. That is awesome that the courses are so thorough! I took a public speech class in the very beginning of my academic career. That was so long ago, though. What I recall is slim to none lol.
me giving a class presentation
I have 3 presentations to make in one day and I didn't finish any of them.. Looking at this, it kinda fits me.
How were your presentations ??
Matt Thom i only managed 2 of them. They went smooth. I made a good impression overall.
Matt Thom one was a review between 2 mice and the other was about how can you reach your goals by doing small tasks everyday.
This makes me feel so smart, becuase now I know that I can write a comment that seems like it has a point even though it really means nothing...
damn.
But the whole point of this comment was to make the it look like it's about nothing but it's about something which is nothing.
No, you just fucked my mind and that means you are smart.
Its has a point on who to read reply-comment.
DenolcTV I dislike this comment and I am a 15 year old boy with acne and no attention. I want to feel like a cool kid so I attack random other users of this app to feel good. I will end up calling you a racial slur and feel proud of myself like my father never did. I am now superior.
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 watched it the second time without the sound on... His speech seems really educative on mute
Hearty Reeny i did that on 3rd time after reading your comment
it does!!! lol
Dame content
So do i
*WOW, legit*
Our children giving presentations after being homeschooled cause of quarantine
Yeah what’s wrong with homeschooling
@@danehogan949 Everything.
@@danehogan949 It's statistically attributed to greater success in career and as such greater income levels, and yet at the same time, it's a small and misunderstood minority of the population so it makes for good joke material.
@@bilalkawsara9539 yeah but most of the people who are homeschooled are rich (their parents) and that's the reason for the greater success and higher income levels
Hey I have seen doing videos about samsung phones
The most satisfying TED talk ever. The only time you feel yourself smarter then the speaker.
Hahah ironic😄
Than...😬🙄
I still feel dumber than the speaker.
Not really, this idea was kinda good
this guy is probably smarter than most ted speakers
6 minutes of nothing to say, yet we were enthralled, laughed, and stuck around to the end!
This guy, is a genius.
Tusenbensen Yep
he is you're new lord, now get on one knee

PT I was thrown in to the deep end with a company I have only been at for 1 month I have to conduct a presentation and this looks great
@@Sda-vh1or it kinda did😂
So do I. This is my to-go video before any of my presentation
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.
