    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.

    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.

    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.

      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

    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.

    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.
