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.
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.

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.
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."
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.
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
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 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.
nothing special. Have you never watched a political debate on TV? There is nothing talked about for hours and in the end these Guys even applaud themselves for it.
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.
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 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.
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
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
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”.
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
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
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.
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.
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 by far my favorite TED talk of all time. The visuals still manage to crack me up every time I watch it, and yet there is some significant food for thought behind his “nothingness.” So many talks are just meaningless things presented in a way that feels important, and it’s awesome to see a humor-filled presentation that calls out their lack of substance.
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*
This is how some of my "smart" classmates do. Talk with confidence while giving wrong information and gibberish talk. They are just so great that many of my classmates and professors were convinced by them. Amazing. Indeed, aside from the content, proper delivery is important to have a great speech.
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!
@@ericsondasilva1618 Yet again someone assuring that something would definitely happen, because they *want* to believe it. This drivel is rampant online, people just constantly repeat & reinforce each others bs as though it's fact. It would be largely pointless anyway, there's a huge number of videos mocking TED talks and how they rely on presentation not facts. Indeed they'd been common since before this video was uploaded.
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.
so meta! This dude encapsulates why I think TED talks are just good presentations, and are inspirational edutainment, but offer no threat of changing the status quo or actual education (which takes work). They have branded a successful format that makes for good dinner party banter, that's all.
And it's important to mention that TED talks have an agenda behind them. Silencing ideas deemed not fit to general public by idiots or are just simple commercials by firms that payed money to be allowed to speak.
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.
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!
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 ❤
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.
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.
@@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
1:35 I keep coming back to watch the genius double meaning of "It's true! It really happened!" the crowd made the "aww" sound like he told the crowd to do. So that happened. And he is affirming that the "anecdote" he shared happened
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.

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

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
@@oliw2793 its actually fairly possible, it isnt as far fetched as you would think XD
He : I was gone for a Ted talk.
Friend: what did you talk.
He: nothing

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

MR. RIDDLE “what did you talk”
He says he has nothing to say, but what he really has is a very sophisticated parody of Tedx Talks themselves
Where Puppers Go to Die Congrats, you found the purpose of this TEDx Talk!
RainbowMiner2004
I know lol, I swear my comment sounded more clever in my head.
Where Puppers Go to Die EXACTLY.
RainbowMiner2004 Congrats, you're a sarcastic douchebag!
It's actually not a parody it's just that Tedx talks are so generic that this parody of speeches applies to them
This man just taught us the blueprint for giving a ted talk
This tops every ted talk in existence
He literally summed up every TED talk ever.
I disagree
@@crazye7132 why do you disagree?
@@crazye7132 It is true tho. Every TED talk has at least a couple of the elements mentioned.
That could be the name
"Every TED Talk Ever"
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”.
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 comment needs more likes
I wish I could've seen this comkent before I started watching the video. I still would've expected a little from the title tho
More likes!
The charts kinda make no sense visually tho LOL
good idea except the video title, so you can guess the guy isnt doing much. plus there are subtitles
My life is based off this speech.
The odds xD

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.
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.

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 so unsatisfying, my heart is telling me, "you're learning something", my brain is saying, "what the heck, I'm learning nothing"
Exactly
I think you just described our education system :D
@@volvobok6644 Have you happened to watch boyinabands video on that?
I am learning how to talk smart so i guess im learning something
You learn how to talk about nothing for 6 minutes
There's so many subtle things he does, I like how he says "note the 0.5 there" to make it sound more academic
you might as well just keep watching this talk over and over its the same as watching a bunch of different ones

I think more people need to watch the TeDxBoulder talk 'I was almost a school shooter'. I feel it is very important right now.
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
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
I was watching this with headphones and my mom came up behind me and told me she was glad I was watching something informative

aidan c. They absolutely are.

AriPuff23. Did you mean to make the letters bold? Because you have to seperate the asterisk from any other characters with a space.
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.
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.
damn this guy really knows what he's talking about.
ikr...
whoa !!!!!!!
+Dhruv S
His name isn't Jon Snow but still...
I felt like I learned something from this, But i didn't.
I mean, you pretty much learned what the title said you would: How to sound smart in your Ted talk.
You learnt key skills in engaging an audience
TED talks in a nutshell
You learned how to look smart
That's the point xD
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.
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...
This is by far my favorite TED talk of all time. The visuals still manage to crack me up every time I watch it, and yet there is some significant food for thought behind his “nothingness.” So many talks are just meaningless things presented in a way that feels important, and it’s awesome to see a humor-filled presentation that calls out their lack of substance.
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 beauty of the ted talk , started with nothing ended with nothing but taught something new .... Very hilarious, and can't stop watching it XD
As a random guy, I approve that 6x2=12.
Or is it
As another random guy, I'm going to challenge you on that point with some pointless profanity and iffable quaddles.
I'd like to take some time to explain to you that in order to get the number 12, you need to multiply 2x6. Not 6x2.
@@kattensaklart9323Do you mind if I disagree?
@ I'll have to think about it.
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.

This is how some of my "smart" classmates do. Talk with confidence while giving wrong information and gibberish talk. They are just so great that many of my classmates and professors were convinced by them. Amazing.
Indeed, aside from the content, proper delivery is important to have a great speech.
I question the competence of a professor who can't see through that
just like Fauci then
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!
He was the last one there is no other person
He got away with it because it was 7 years ago in todays times he would be canceled forever by ted talk
@@TheJacklikesvideos Lmao
Most people pay good money to attend, so the joke's on them?
@@ericsondasilva1618 Yet again someone assuring that something would definitely happen, because they *want* to believe it. This drivel is rampant online, people just constantly repeat & reinforce each others bs as though it's fact.
It would be largely pointless anyway, there's a huge number of videos mocking TED talks and how they rely on presentation not facts. Indeed they'd been common since before this video was uploaded.

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!!!!! 👍
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.
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.
so meta! This dude encapsulates why I think TED talks are just good presentations, and are inspirational edutainment, but offer no threat of changing the status quo or actual education (which takes work). They have branded a successful format that makes for good dinner party banter, that's all.
And it's important to mention that TED talks have an agenda behind them. Silencing ideas deemed not fit to general public by idiots or are just simple commercials by firms that payed money to be allowed to speak.
meh, the TED talk given by Snowden and subsequently by the deputy director of the NSA were rather nice.
Lizzy Velázquez' TED TALK was inspiring
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?
The best shit ever. So creative, bravo!
It's just nothing
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*
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!
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 ❤
I watched this without sound cause my headphones aren't working. It looks like he knows what he's talking about...

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.
Come back to this everytime I have to do a presentation😂

@@Sda-vh1or yeah it does. Works better with speeches than with powerpoint presentations like in university/corporate though

1:35 I keep coming back to watch the genius double meaning of "It's true! It really happened!"
the crowd made the "aww" sound like he told the crowd to do. So that happened. And he is affirming that the "anecdote" he shared happened
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.
