Humans are creatures that evolves from the premature state known as *behbehs*
“‘Everything will be alright,’ is not the same thing as ‘Everything will stay the same.’” - Seth Godin
Wow, that is profound.
Groatswerth Thank you for sharing that. It helped :)
Was that in one of Godin's books? I can't find anything attributing that quote to him.
Ze frank is a social genius. He made every one comforable by making them uncomforable as a joke then kept making them laugh so they could deal with the heavy part
Spot on Watson!
Not Dopler genius.
As they say: comedy pulls you in, so it'll be hard to pull out from the heavy things
Comedy today by that standard would make you called out for trying too hard
The Ol' Scrubs Jazz Singer episode technique
The way he raises his hand at the end makes me want to give him a hug
And then what?
@@CultofThings And then ask him to eat another booger, just to confirm it was true.
@@CultofThings Nothing. Pure empathy is sometimes enough.
True facts about humanity.
That is how the humans do.
I read that in his voice.
The human bebe
If Star Trek TNG were filmed today or in the future, they would have to refence this TED talk in Data's quest to understand humanity.
He should have ended this with "And that is what the human do-o."
LMAO
This is what humans dewr...
@@vervati1205 This is what humans and their be-beis dewr
I disagree. It needed the bookend of the "test" result for full impact.
Am a fan of ur quote in True Facts' context tho. :)
@@merryc.5466 I was being more sarcastic than anything.
Come for the comedy, leave with tears in your eyes...
MindLaboratory all the time w this man. 💖💕👍😬💃
MindLaboratory that is how the humans do.
@Poke Poke if you think that is an insult, you failed the human test
@@shosty575 I think they mean the old definition
@@bethanydavis9023 we don't know for sure, right?
True fact, this mans voice makes everything feel better.
Nice homage there
It’s not his regular voice. Surprised he used it on here lol.
I feel like the reason this is so fantastic is the way that he manages to slip in an actual sad thing we do amongst all the humor.
+Totally Not A Cylon That's dark humor
Kim No, dark humor is joking about something you usually don't joke about.
Because it's too dark.
Dark humor = 1 baby in 10 trash cans, this is nothing close to it, this is just deep
that's more in the shock humor range. dark humor is something that is painful but is made light of, shock humor is something that is a tragedy/controversial and is made light of
I'm gonna have to think this over tomorrow.
I have another question for the human test: Do you miss Ze Frank on RUclips?
- raising hand -
He's back! He uploaded a new True Facts video.
This is so sad, im from the year 2019 he isn't uploading anymore
Hooray
Boy do I have good news for these 5 people in particular...
He uploaded like 2 hours ago lol
Ze Frank is quite adept at making you laugh then suddenly making you want to cry.
Suruga Kanbaru if I could cry, he’d be the one
That is how the Ze Frank do.
I was sobbing at the end
"Have you ever marveled at how someone you thought was so ordinary could suddenly become so beautiful?"
_Have you ever woken up, blissfully, then suddenly been flooded by the awful remembrance that someone had left you? Have you ever lost the ability to imagine a future without a person that no longer was in your life? Have you ever looked back at that moment with a sad smile of autumn and the realization that future will happen regardless?_
*Congratulations, you you have completed the test - you are all human*
Yes, I did. And I'm glad for her.
I ilke how he raised his hand on the 2nd to the last question but not the last one
The man is a poet philosopher.
i asimov Dammit YES
and the moment he said those words, the reality of it being what is happening now brought fresh tears and a smile. Thank you. That was beautifully said.
This man is so incredible. For me, it's because he simply is rawly honest with himself and his human state. Our existence is silly, obsurd, painful, lonely and sometimes throws us into a state of bliss. We all see ourselves in him and that is why we love him. For his quirkiness and comedy but also loneliness and pain he is willing to expose.
His pain shows in this piece.

damn it man, someone started cutting onions!
I need his voice for my GPS navigation.
Look up Studio C "Worst App Ever" ;)
@@merryc.5466 Ha! Close enough, much appreciated.
Go right! Oh no Jerry you stay on the left lane and couldn't take the exit!
I'm going to reach out to Waze and ask them to add "Ze frank" to their list of navigation voices. I've been using "boy band" as my preferred voice on Waze since 2012, but I would gladly switch to Ze frank if that was an option lol.
how stupid would he feel if an alien was in that audience
LOL!!!!
Trevor lahey A mexican?
Reptilians are always present.
In the background an economics professor smiles and nods. Pretending to be human. For they are not.
Not as stupid as you
"Have you ever lost the ability to imagine a future without a person that no longer was in your life? Have you ever looked back on that event with the sad smile of autumn and the realization that futures will happen regardless? ..... Congratulations. You have now completed the test. You are all human." Wow.... That hits deep . Thankyou for depicting the subtle beauty of the travesties in us all
Lol. What's it like to be able to imagine a future for yourself? What's it like to be able to take for granted that there's a future waiting for you, to even get to think further ahead than when your next meal might be, where you'll sleep tomorrow, if you'll wake up tomorrow?
Well, that made me cry.
JaclynGlenn You watch Ze Frank! :D
i got suckered punch in the emotions....not fair.
JaclynGlenn I am also allergic to ze frank talking.
JaclynGlenn With zefrank, it is always either laughing then crying, or crying then laughing.
+JaclynGlenn i love this guy...... his "dear kitten" videos are epic. theres something about the sound of his voice that i love
It's 2023 and it's the first time I watched this video. That was beautiful. I feel like crying.
I watch this once a year to remind myself that I'm not alone.
the white Morgan Freeman
+menckencynic I think ZeFrank and Freeman would both say that the other is more talented in some aspect
But Ze Frank isn't a rapist, so....
yunikage it's sad how you believe everything you see and hear online.
Cell Jr. It's sad how you believe whatever you want to believe.
yunikage it’s sad how we argue on the internet.
Many people may not realize it, but this is a work of genius, all the questions may be humorous or sad but look at the deeper meaning of them and they are in fact somehow relating to human traits. Ze Frank the absolute genius
I think TED talks are given in the spirit of sharing ideas, and the idea for this is helping people feel that they are not alone in experiencing screwups and being imperfect. It's nice to have someone empathise in this manner. If you want to go by the title, this goes under entertainment. So yeah I find this relevant enough to be a TED talk.
It's better than the interpretative dance TED talks.
@@RobespierreThePoof Is that what the robots say?
@@RobespierreThePoof Feelings are generated by the head, not the heart. So they should suffice as an "idea" at least. Albeit a forward thought.
This is so beautiful.
I have no more words.
Thank you, Ze Frank.
In consideration with all the negative views this video is receiving from tradition TED viewers, you have to open your mind to possibilities of the psychological perspective that Zefrank is trying approach here. He incorporates his comedy as a way to introduce possible emotional struggles that every individual may go through at some one in their lives and is trying to bring rise to the awareness if these matters. His main focus is the loss of interest that arises from these issues. He incorporates subliminal messages into each of his videos and speeches with a gentle comic start to a more serious tone afterwards and it works for him. So it might not be the traditional TED video that you all expect but consider the messages that possible psychological he is trying to send.
chaoticoracle225 psychology and comedy seem to go hand in hand together.
His comedy and psychology must require a typical approach to thought processing... I got neither from this.
Comedians w/ his talent for kindness are a divine gift & will be more highly lauded in Heaven than most overly "religious" posers of any belief set. Bet on it!
No negative view here. Comedy is an excellent vehicle and preparation for more serious business. There is nothing about Ze Frank's presentation here that I don't adore.
What negative feedback? Everyone loves it as far I can see (including me).
I heard an interview with a super centurion who was "celebrating" his 110th birthday.
As they always seem to ask such people, they asked what advice did he have for anyone who wanted to live more than 100 years.
He said, "Don't." he said that his wife, all of his friend, his children, and now even some of his grandchildren had all passed away.
It was pretty clear that he had had enough life to satisfy him and he was now just waiting for the end.
It really brought home that old Queen Song, "Who Wants to Live Forever"
This. Every time I see someone claim to want immortality, this is exactly what comes to mind. Imagine, if you can, everything and everyone you know steadily passing into the void of time, while you can only watch and experience it? Yes, you can and will have many moments of joy, but eventually, at some point, you WILL tire of living. But if you cannot die, you will never know true peace.
This is so sad but true. My great grandmother waited for death to come and get her for 11 years. All her brothers and sisters who were younger than her, her husband and even 1 of her grandchildren had already passed away, and she kept asking, why her, why he took the young ones but left her, she should have gone first. This bothered her a lot for the last 11 years (I count eleven years since she first mentioned it to me till her death. ). When she finally passed away, i think she was happy to go. She had an infection in her leg that just wouldn't heal, but she refused amputation or any medical help for it. She said, "I am going to my grave with both my legs." She sounded in a hurry. RIP
Oh god. This right now.
He's all but disappeared from life. The last part is really
telling. I'm worried about Ze, I actually am going through the same
thing exactly he talks about at the end, and it's just so crippling.
Losing someone from your life is the worst.
Thank you Ze. Wherever you are. Be well.
CW reed He does stuff for Buzzfeed now...
He's back! videos on his youtube irregularly, but each one is still a gem.
He's back now making videos on his own channel, which is a gift to us all. Also, I hope 3 years later you're doing better and you're well too.
@@MrSwagonator gross. Why would he do that
@@erronblack308 You know what a job is right?
I'm not sure what the most amazing part of this is.
The emotional journey this takes everyone on, that everyone continues raising their hands when it's a hard or sad admission, or the levels of empathy this video inspires.
This is one of the best TED talks I've ever watched.
Watch his actual videos he’s so weird and talented and you would’ve never thought he had such a gifted mind beyond just art
I love Ze Frank's accent so damn much!
Where is he from?
he is from earth
that's not zefrank's real accent. His videos from 5 years ago show his true conversational tone
Earth? That's where I'm from, too!
@@SnowbordrWRX Oh, that awful planet...
It’s been 17 years since I first discovered this guy. I love him dearly. Protect Ze at all costs.
I love the way he made his point clear! It's insanely creative.
This video has been up since 2014, and has helped me cope with my brother's passing at the time. There has been many more deaths, but I always back to this video for comfort... It's good to know other people experience grieving over a loved one too 😔
He has THE BEST voice!
Thank you, Sir, for your message. I just wanted you to know that you've made a tremendous difference in my life during a difficult time. I love your humor, but I hear your important message inside of it.
For those who don't understand or think this video was a waste of time I hope to open your eyes to what I have taken away from this video. Though this video starts off in a silly fashion around 2:35 I see a drastic change it its meaning. at 2:35. I see a change into the begining of relationships how you notice and talk with the person. It then procceds to change into the degradation of the relationship with distrust and arguments. Finally it turns into the ending, rememberance of that relationship, and the moving on.
blackbeltg0d yesss
Thank you for helping me to link the events of relationship together!
It is a simple message. Life is full of dumb, stupid, happy, beautiful, sad, and regretful events. We human, experiences ups and downs with our emotions. So don't afraid to admit that.
I’m a little late to this video, but I left with tears hearing this after asking myself all these. How he gets the questions spot on relatable is beyond me, but genius.
This is a thing of great beauty.
Brilliant, wonderful, and strangely beautiful. Thank you, yet again Ze Frank
*_Have you ever lost the ability to imagine a future without a person that was no longer in your life?_*
#ouch
Chris Ruhs
I honestly don't understand this. Can someone explain?
Chris Ruhs
I think I understand now. That one hit hard when the realization came.
i was scrolling through comments and the second i read this comment he said that 0 - 0
Opposumness i had the same, but i still dont understand it, van u explain
#regardless
Have you ever text "LOL" without actually laughing out loud or even at all.
Ryan K No.
@@jaxusr235 Neither have I lol
Yes, especially if I thought it would diffuse a comment that may have come off caustic.
Rather, have you ever truly laughed out loud, followed by the message, “LOL” and “LOL” alone rather than, instead, opting for a more expressive extension of “haha[haha]” or “LOL[OL]”. There should be no extended aaiirrmmss.
Now everyone use lol when They think something is funny but don’t actually laugh.
That leaves me speechless.
That's how Ze do.
Makes me cry every time..
I'm lost for words or thought after watching this presentation.
What a talented and remarkable individual.
Zefrank is simply amazing!
You have the most soothing voice to listen to.
Simply amazing how Ze Frank can make you laugh for ten minutes and leave you with emotional impact at the end.
This ain’t ten minutes.
RUclips: we will show you this 3 years late
Potato Face: yes
I have watched as many of the "critter videos" as I can find... yet somehow this has never come up until today and it's 5 years old... RUclips's algorithm is messed up.
@Scptt Crawford, yeah maybe stop being a spoonfed child and learn how to search and think by yourself
@@etamlak8199 how is one supposed to search for something that he/she does not know excist?
Yeah right what the hell's up with that I wish I would have known about this two years ago although I'm not sure if I've been following Me Frank for 3 years. But then again maybe because I remember him being von yt often, then he was gone, now he's back. Oh how time flies and I can't keep up with it
@@etamlak8199 bitter much? Damn
me: HAHAHAHA! YES! YES! YES!
*after **3:29*
no... no... stop... stoooooooooooooooooooooooooooop! get in back there tears
I always come back to this. Catharsis in the very least. Humility at best. Thank you ZF :)
It took less than 5 minutes to laugh and cry like crazy :) :( :) :(
:)
I see what he did there. He began his regular shtick and then inserted very deep and meaningful things for us to reflect on and incorporate into our own shtick. Beautiful.
Dear Kitten . . .
CCJJ160Channels OH YES I JUST REALIZED
TRUE
Wait how does this apply to Anne Frank? Ik, 3 years late
This man has such an awesome narrative style. And the humor is really addictive.
I love Ze Frank so much.
I was thinking these exact words before I saw the comment.
I just realized that this guy's dad received the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 2017.
Zefrank is a treasure of humanity
His voice is so calming
always interesting to see how people age through the years. a lot of his internet stuff is "frozen in time" with his younger self and i almost didn't believe i was watching ze frank when i saw this vid. i mean, it's no biggie. since we're human and all, and that includes aging. but, watching a ze frank ted video from 8 years ago and then watching this one as the very next video kind of messes with your head a little bit. gosh ze frank is so cool. happy thanksgiving everybody!
What about watching it now even 8 years later?
What a gentle way of helping people reduce mental stress. It's a deceptively amazing psychological trick to get a person to release tension and accept current circumstances.
Good thing I found this video. I've been looking for the answer. Are we human, or are we dancer?
This makes me tear up and cry every time i watch it
Please we beg you come to RUclips again just one more video :(
Ustole myMusterd he's still on RUclips. he's buzzfeed's president.
He made a new True Facts video this week.
Lots more True Facts videos lately. I stayed subscribed and you could have knocked me down with a feather when I saw his upload notification pop up 😂
@@JeniJustJeni I know, im so excited, I hope he still enjoys making content tho. I dont want him to be doing something he dosnt like anymore :)
Stumbled upon this masterpiece on Facebook, then came to RUclips to listen to this again
This is just INCREDIBLE!
this guy is super fucking intelligent
I would non-disqualifiably (I know, not a word, but yet you understand- the ultimate goal of language) qualify that with emotionally-intelligent. Or “self-awaringly” (also not a word) intelligent.
Emotional intelligence is more important that calculative intellegence
@@NeostormXLMAX the importance of the various flavors of intelligence has no singular “king”. Different types of intelligence depend solely on the application and context of what it’s being applied to.
@@insanecow24 Not only that, but different types of intelligence work together at times. If you're a high powered business executive with incredible calculative or analytical intelligence, emotional intelligence may help you nap a client you otherwise couldn't have
I know there are more people out there that needs to see this
I love this guy. Both funny and deep. Plus he has a fantastic voice.
A TED talk that made me cry
4:13 pause it and just look at those faces....the sadness on some is almost too much to take...
One of the best voices anywhere.
I've seen all of this guys videos, awesome that he got a Ted panel. Good job!
He has had like two others before.
This is beyond profound. I think I've watched this video at least 30 times... Ze Frank. You give me hope. Maybe even some clarity... Thank you. I ended this with a period not in anger but in the realization that life can and will get better. You moved me. Thank you.
This is the comfort food I feed to my soul whenever I need to be reminded that I'm just a human... Thank you Ze.
His voice is magical
This isn't the Ted Talk we deserved, but it's the one we needed.
Zefrank
You are truly the one
Is it just me or does he somehow look like Dr. House?^^
It's just u
Tofu
Ah ok. :P
Geilor theFormlessOne lol
he has the hair
I think he does, and his "voice" reminds me of Hannibal Lechter.
This will make you smile and make you cry...
LOVE this man! Healing the world.
basically, humbled most in that room at the end.
ZeFrank is the best Buddhist, despite probably not being a buddhist. He can help us all acknowledge our pain while having compassion for everyone that suffers as we suffer, and in doing so, eases that pain through awareness.
This fucking man.
I keep coming back to this
Have you ever watched a ZeFrank video, expecting to chuckle and then feeling betrayed by your own empathy when the tears show up?
I love Ze Frank. It's the whispering way he talks.❤
That is how a human do.
Such a haunting voice.
I can't not hear "Dear Kitten" when he speaks.
I was hearing "Sad Cat Diary"...
Isnt he the one who narrated it tho?
@@ursch6859 True. He has a soothing voice.
I never thought ZeFrank would make me sad yet at the same time affirm my humanity.
Have you ever called people who use cuttlebone to carve cast for metal jewelry "cuttleboners?"
No, but I hope to.
I still cry every time I watch this video
Audience: * Applauding genius *
Me: Butt anteaters...
Butt anteaters everywhere...
After many years of browsing RUclips, I have finally reached the first video to make me cry.
All humor derives from fear
And Sadness
Fear and absurdity
That is an incredibly crass statement
Harbz wut
Harbz Anger comes from fear, vice versa. Humor and sadness come from the same place. All emotions are related. It's so weird, but that's just how the hooman do.
His voice is so good!
I thought the ending would be “Have you ever lost the ability to imagine a future without yourself.”
I came here from Zefrank's latest vid of the human test for people who work at an office, and this was also incredible! Great mix of humor and sorrowful introspection with a wonderfully, smoothly spoken script that hit all the right spots!
Great work!
Why test for humanity in an office? Not gonna find it there
Beginning of video: "Heheheh"
End of video: "Yo what's up with the gut punch of emotions?"
That voice, those words... tears
