I aspire to have this guy's confidence
I don't know you but I think you you can do better than that. The guy was sweatin' bullets out there.

@@SRowntree I see what you did there.

This guy is just an energy vampire. He had a feast that day.
Colin Robinson would be proud
It's the most rational explanation.
😂😂😂😂 Holy shit! That's spot on

Creeeeepy paper
"didn't go to a single poli-sci class, and i am now a political commentator." dear fucking god
The next Tucker. Who names their spawn Tucker?
@@trainluvr I can't tell you without being accused of "reverse racism." 🤷🏿
This is the kind of people who gets jobs by raising their networking/contacts profile. Weasely, unfunny, uninspired.
@@trainluvr Pass the ball to Tucker
Hey hey, death of the teacher man
I feel so bad for literally every single human being in the room that wasn't him.
Nope they were lucky
I want to be able to witness this piece of history
I feel the worst for him
@@shardsoficewhy
@@user-vi4xy1jw7e it would have been really funny.
He didn't take a single poli-sci class because he was too busy studying the dank memes of the early 2010s
Well he did work at Buzzfeed at the time, so I'm sure that was valuable knowledge.
Worth it
"Johnson first rose to prominence as an editor at BuzzFeed, until it was revealed that many of his published articles were plagiarized and he was fired"
Ya don't sayyy
From BuzzFeed?
I didn't know they did original content.
Mom: “We have Stephen Glass at home” Stephen Glass at home:
@@waterandafter lol you’re in for a treat, google “Benny Johnson fort hood” for an “article” that reads like a 10th grade school report written the morning it was due
@@braveulysses2000
I just might 😃
@@braveulysses2000 I just tried and the article has been corrected with this note at the top, lmao
"This post has been corrected to remove phrasing that was copied from Wikipedia.
BuzzFeed takes its responsibility to readers very seriously, and plagiarism is a major breach of that responsibility. Please read our apology to readers here."
this makes me feel a lot better about the 15 minute presentation I did on Slipknot when I was 17
At least you were genuine.
lmao one of my best friends did this is high school.
Wait...
Chase?
I'd rather hear about slipknot
@@taylorfredrickson7750 I hope this turns out to be Chase.
I’d pay to see that. A good friend of mine gave a 15 minute talk in high school in 2001 about William Shatner’s Shakespearean rap in the movie “Free Enterprise.” Wore a toga too.
I can't even imagine what the original topic could have been
Out of the many funny comments here, this is the one that made me burst out laughing
"Find your inner scientist".
it was about the holocaust actually...
The left can't meme
@@aidanscuderi The guy is from turning point usa.
I kept waiting for Eric Andre to burst out and the set to assemble around him.
I would have liked to see Eric Andre tackle him while destroying the set. And then have the set re-assemble around Eric Andre, as the Turning Point douche is dragged off by Hannibal Buress.
Sprite!
Eric Andre in whiteface.
@@MkeKen67 awesome!
@@DanielThureskog He’s trying to get a Sprite sponsorship.
If Jimmy Fallon was in the audience this poor guy might have gotten a laugh.
Hahaha right ? Fallon laughs stupidly at anything... He attracts talent but he's kind of an idiot. :)
Fallon would have been punching the air and slapping the chair laughing his lungs out for everything.
and you idiots would still bitch about him..
@@sillygoose635 Why so aggro?
@@johnulcer because he is farmers
"I didn't take any writing classes, and I didn't take any political science classes" yeah we can tell
Fired for plagiarism, suspended for promoting a birther conspiracy theory, fired for ethics violations -- perfect material for TPUSA.
I just looked at his YT channel. Dude's a clown.
he is also christian hahaha
@@XHitsugaX what does him being "christian" have to do with it? (even though the American interpretation of Christianity isn't actually the real thing. It's more of pretend thing)
@@evangelus3289 You just answered your own question. American Christians must not ever be taken seriously.
@@evangelus3289 Religion in and of itself is a form of pretending lol
This has to be an “Impractical Jokers” type of skit
"Murrs our big loser today! Now he has to give a TED talk that WE prepared!
You really think it was until the credits @buzzfeed, kinda explains it all lol
Ikr
Haha I looked for this comment before making mine. Seriously. The captions of the slides, the singing along to "I'm just a Bill" but not knowing the words. Not having any background or experience in the topic, and the laughing and smiling all the way through making himself try not to reveal the whole thing's just a bit. It's just got heavy "I'm being put up to this" vibes.
You know this is edited to make it seem awkward? I mean it looks horrible yea,but its edited
I love how it looked like he expected everyone to sing along with the "I'm Just A Bill" song, and no one did.
" Ridge racer ! 🏁"
@@Mikewee777 Riiiiidge Racer!!
I did. I think this guy is really cool.☹
I have to pause the video every few seconds to let my spine uncoil itself and my shoulders relax from the raw physical cringe this inspires, holy hell.
Hilarious 😂
Dido
*shakes it off*
Mitt romney not as good at doing gangnam style
@@salamilid7615 Wh- who’s up for making some uh... some Condescending Wonkas, huh?
True
This guy based his personality around Michael Scott.
More like Meme-cool Scott
😂😂🤣🤣😂
For real. The energy he gives off is the type who says Sbarro is their favorite New York pizza joint. 😂
Hell no, Michael is a lovely character, cringey, but lovely. This mf just plain sucks
In all of the possible lifetimes we could have possibly existed in, we're here now experiencing this video. There's something really special about that.
Everything happens for a reason
@@DJTREMADEIT And sometimes that reason is something stupid or meaningless but unintentionally hilarious lolz.
Who is it? Yell it
@@DJTREMADEIT no it doesn’t
@@magolago7680 Well, that implies some causes are irrational then. In other words, they don't follow an intelligibility or order.
This here is what all those awkward school nightmares you had when you were little, turn into when you have to be an adult.
This makes my 3rd grade presentation on "what do fish do when the water freezes" look like the announcement of Salk's polio vaccine
What do fish do when the water freezes?
@@gringochucha fish sticks
Sometimes, I wish I had someone in my life to share Vic Berger vids with, but this one feels like an experience reserved for only his true flock.
bingo
I wasted my time in university. I could've showcased twerking videos before a live audience instead. Wonderful and inspirational. Kids, don't drop out of college.
I'm never going to forgive you for this.
Hahahaha dying over here...
What's my ted talk about you ask? Remember these memes from 2009? Because I do.
pepperidge farm remembers
and now the whole world will remember all of us
Chuck Norris remembers, that's the year he would've cured cancer with his tears if he ever cried.
And this Ted talk was given in 2013 so a lot of those memes were dated even then.
* 2011
I genuinely can't tell if you edited this.
Thats the thing...I dont think he had to...
Yeah he definitely edited it but he didn't have to as the guy said before
I can't tell if he didn't edit this.
came here in the comments to figure that out....still not sure
I can tell he did edit this.
Glad I am no longer a student @ the University of Iowa my skeleton would’ve ripped through my skin and ran through a wall.
Oh no! Boneus interruptus!
This speech is from 2013 apparently
Just make random noises in the audience. Would have been funnier.
Oh he's from Turning Point USA.
Jesus christ do those people just eat paint chips and sniff glue all day?
How dare you?
TPUSA only buys the finest whip-its and 4locos for the staff that are old enough to drink.
Toilet paper USA
@@Thobeian I miss the REAL 4loko.
I don't think I ever actually finished a Phase 1 4loko.
I don't think anyone I know actually finished a Phase 1 4loko.
nope. They also poop their diapers all day.
Oh, I thought this was an edit but he’s genuinely cringe
I’m so glad the email is there so that we can all send him this video
did you do it yet?
I'm not gonna do that and quite frankly I think almost nobody is, but I appreciate your enthusiasm.
@@superlumbagoman9370 I'll do it
He got fired from Buzzfeed so I doubt he'll get your email
It's probably deactivated now
The guy in the purple shirt at a minute and thirty seconds in is staring with his mouth open as if he’s in shock. I could only get a minute in before finding myself in a dissociative fugue.
I have to believe that the chairs at 1:23 were not empty when this talk began
@@richsackett3423 Lol, this is what Vic does, I guess this ridiculous presentation didn't bomb as horribly in real life, but I prefer Vics interpretation. The point is we all know Vic edits his clips, it's fun but it's not necessarily reality. You can relax.
@@richsackett3423 someone is butthurt lel
@@richsackett3423 It's mean but look who the target is, couldn't have happened to a better candidate. It's poking a bit of harmless fun at the crazies.
@Rich Sackett no your dumb bc Vic Berger is so funny
The lyric in the song playing right here is "Kickin' in the front seat" how ironic! lmao Vic is genius
This is the same dude that went to Cuba and cried over them not having freedom, cuz they only had one brand of cereal.
@@rossthesauceboss benny johnson I thinj
>cuz they only had one brand of cereal
Apparently Canada doesn't have freedom either. /s
Is this the same guy where the place he went to was in fact a restaurant supply store and would obviously only have a limited brand selection?
@@rossthesauceboss Oh I know some Canadians that are jealous America has way more types of cereals. Like they only have regular Capn Crunch and not Crunch berries.
And the last time I visited Canada I remember it being true. lol
@@rossthesauceboss Thanks. Glad to hear you finally got the good stuff.
I never completed a residency anywhere. I didn't go to any med classes. In fact, I didn't even finish high school!
And now? I'm a cardiac surgeon.
I know it's a long shot, but if there are any injury lawyers in the comments section I've just been grievously harmed by this video.
Plot twist: this guy is a genius-level misanthrope
😆
I just looked up his Twitter feed
@@dangerouslytalented Damn, that made ME a misanthrope
ooh, or an emotional vampire a la What We Do In The Shadows...
"I just did what I do best. I took your little kek and I turned it on itself. Look what I did to this memes with a few drums of cringe and a couple of shitposts."
"I have no formal education." It shows
This truly was a BuzzFeed "article" in video form.
Worse… it was a batch of spoiled member-berries reminiscing about a BuzzFeed knockoff written by schoolchildren.
EDIT: 🤔 _Good to know my comedic skills are unaffected by sleep deprivation…_
this guy actually was fired from buzfeed for plagarism
Reminder that two years ago this same man turned up to a TPUSA convention, went on stage accompanied by a guy dressed as "left shark" (yes from like 2015), screamed *"WHO'S READY FOR SOME MEMES?"* and fired a t-shirt cannon into the crowd.
Cocaine's a hell of a drug.
Also TPUSA is an organization composed entirely of bigoted morons. (Though not as bigoted as the Groypers.)
You can tell that most of the audience regret coming to this talk more than anything else in their lives.
This feels like a Tim and Eric sketch.
On that note, definitely getting Tom Goes To The Mayor vibes.
That does it, I'm done with the World Wide Web. I'm moving to the mountains.
Liar.
This is so brutal, I'm not even sure the added context of knowing what year it was would even make a difference...
He played Friday for like 2 minutes straight...
This guy clearly *forgot* he agreed to do a Ted Talk
damn it vic, you can't put a title like that and expect me not to immediately watch it. typing this from the emergency room, was driving home from denny's and hit a deer going 95 in a 40. currently forwarding all my hospital bills to your patreon thanks
Gee, I hope you're joking! That's way worse than the time I was blasting Poison Idea and got a little too exuberant making a turn; causing an entire, poorly sealed gallon of paint to spill inside the back of my Toyota. However, if you weren't kidding, you have my sympathies; although I'm unfortunately unable to help with your bills.
Get well soon!
daggers101 hey wait a minute, deer can't drive
not unless they're bambi-dextrous
Sorry to hear you went to a Denny’s. Get well soon. 🙏
_"Assume deer dead."_
This is so good I honestly can't tell where it's edited... and I watch all the Vic edits.. well done sir.
Wow. Inspirational. Truly uplifting. I feel changed.
The slow lingering on the muslim girls when Miley is twerking this video IS GOLD
*Dances to Friday*
Welcome to my TED talk.
I love that vic berger's editing style is just making things just more awkward
He refines and distills the awkward until it is smooth and delicious like a fine port.
At first I didn't understand, but then I checked the description and saw the guy's from Turning Point USA, so that explains it.
Now it makes sense. I gurgled it and: Turning Point USA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2012 by Charlie Kirk. The organization’s mission is to identify, educate, train, and organize students to promote the principles of fiscal responsibility, free markets, and limited government.
@@trainluvr - In reality, they are a bunch of white supremacist douchebags.
Ah, so he's just an idiot, then
With that added context, this video now makes sense lol
I was here for this. For once, Vic didn't edit the video.
I'm gonna be a father come Wednesday morning, and now I'm an antinatalist. Thanks, Vic.
Did you book ahead of time what day the waters will break? Wednesday's child is full of woe! You should have booked her in for Monday.
Literally any other day than Wednesday. Maybe y'all can induce labor tomorrow.
😂😂😂
@@nagualdesign That or a scheduled C-section...
@@StephenDeagle Can you not remember which?
This feels like it wasn't even edited. This was BAAAAD, man! Who gave him a Ted talk? Lol
The fact this is the "left can't meme" guy is so ducking hilarious. Greatest joke this guy ever told was himself
of course he works for buzzfeed
*worked for Buzzfeed. Before he got canned for plagiarism.
I tapped out when Bill started singing. I came back in like 30 seconds and gave up a moment after the dude made it into a duet.
“Ermagod(sp) girl, a classic!”
Dude the only classic I’m getting is secondhand embarrassment
I am disturbed by the lack of airhorn
It's been a while since I actually struggled to get through a video.
When you high AF browsing memes texting them to the group chat with the homies at 3am when no one else is awake
when you can't wait to show your classmates those funny gifs on your new Nokia that has a color display
2:07 is the best cut
happy eid
He has the nervous body language of a kid in his first high school debate
Good to see Vic uploading more often.
Vic I'm sorry but I had to tap out when he asked if it twerked
1:54 the gasp will never fail to make me laugh
I couldn't believe that this guy was real. I looked him up and am amazed that he is real.
Me: "Is this real life?" Christian Bale: "Oh shut the fuck up"... Benny: "Anyone remember that one? Raise your hands!"
Perfect title.. I barely made it through.
Imagine you get on a waitlist to be a TED Talks audience member, you wait a few months...and this is the shit you have to sit through.
Benny Cringeson
Okay, at least this was 7 years ago.
He moved from BuzzFeed to TP USA in that time. It's only gotten worse.
Andy Kauffman is amongst us, ladies and gentleman!
amogus
This was so uncomfortable that I could not make it through the whole thing without skipping forward
So dramatic
I find it hard to believe he didn't graduate from a school of journalism.
No editing required.
This is actually from the office
watching this is a form of self harm
He is the personification of "How do you do, kids?"
I love that this took zero editing to be this insane
Gotta love all them smiles...
Straight from tim and eric awesome show great job chrimbus special
I love how he says "look at all those hands" and there are zero hands up, its hilarious!
1:46 "okwe'redonewiththat"
Way too late for THAT now
I now feel soooo inspired to do my TED talk. Thanks, Benny!...Thank you Vic for sharing.
That's like Rick Rolling except it makes the target genuinely upset.
I love it when he does the little dance and drops the remote
Thanks, Vic, I'm ded now
Going off on a limb, this is some kind of ironic performance art and the speaker hates the audience
this man is so happy to be there, he got the chat laughing
"Yes, I'm just a bill-only a bill, sitting on Capitol Hill."

I can't This one is too much i just can't.
Vic.. you are doing the work of gods thank you 🤣👌🏻💯
Much love from the west coast of 🇨🇦
Winnerpeg?
@@herpsmaltwatta is that even close to the coast? No lol
PLEASE EDIT THIS MORE. I cant take it unedited it hurts too much
What’s great about Vic Berger, is the fact that through his editing, (which some may argue is a distortion of the ACTUAL video/content has edited), but in almost every case, he is actually able to convey a MORE real-life version of whatever the real, un-edited subject matter is! 😂 Beyond brilliant!
I know this may come as a HUGE shock to some of you, so brace yourselves. He's a conservative.
damn
I love how the audience was just left in utter shock from all the cringe they experienced
This has crossed over the line of being so uncomfortable that it stats being wonderful... I actually kind of love the thought that he's just taking the piss out of every single person there. Too bad he's probably an awful person with no self awareness, based on the comments here
He's from Turning Points USA. Nevermind I know exactly what kind of person this guy is. Oof 😬
This man really did just come out and pull an irl 'HoW dO yOu Do My FeLlOw KiDs?'
0:41 straight out of the UK Office haha
If I was 14 and a frequent 9gag user and then I tragically got grievously injured in a car crash, spent 10 years in a coma, then woke up and retained my sense of humour, I would probably make this very same Ted talk.
The awkwardness is more painful than the reaction I got from my second vax
Awkwardness is good, it's a sign that your body's defences are mounting a response to protect you from the video.
In a desperate bid to seek meaning, or come to terms with the lack thereof, I became overwhelmed at the overabundance of TEDtalks and their useless information. That's when I found this. I guess it worked, bc I'm actually in a better mood and I could take a step back and look at the silliness of all these "productivity experts," "lifestyle coaches," and "prOfEsSionAL prOCrAstinAtoRs". This TEDtalk changed my life.
For real I got tired real quick of these wannabe millionaires and fake life experts 🤦♂️ 😂
And the titles, the titles are terrible too
