Here's a TED Talk About How to Sound Smart in Your TED Talk

TED has eaten itself.

Overview

"Hear that? That's nothing. Which is what I, as a speaker at today's conference, have for you all."

Ah, if only all presenters could be as honest as Will Stephen, CollegeHumor.com staff writer and editor, who presented a pretty spot-on parody of his fellow speakers at a recent TEDxNewYork event.

The content is one thing, but it's Stephen's manner — the intonation, the weighty pauses, the glasses adjustment, the 'revealing' question thrown out to the audience — that makes this so great. If you weren't paying attention, you'd swear he'd just imparted a deep and essential truth vital to the global progress of humanity.
