Sagemindsays...Well, he does sum up some of the other Ted Talks out there.
Learn to decipher good from bad.
Just because it's a Ted Talk, doesn't mean it has something to say!
brycewi19says...I think this can qualify for *standup
siftbotsays...Adding video to channels (Standup) - requested by brycewi19.
ChaosEnginesays...Best TED talk I've seen in years!
siftbotsays...Moving this video to blackfox42's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
blackfox42says...*promote
siftbotsays...Self promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued - promote requested by original submitter blackfox42.
Daldainsays...I learnt some things out of it...
lucky760says...I'm going to write a comment about the video I just watched. It's going to attempt to be witty and perhaps absurd that includes a joke with a punchline intended to be a misdirect. I'll consider something that gets my point across, but is generally neutral and not too inflammatory so as not to rile up people who may have a strong opposing opinion, while still attempting to pander to and entertain those who agree strongly with my school of thought.
I'd like to come up with a great play on words that will catch everyone's attention, preferably something short and memorable, but the fact that the comment has already gone on this long is going to result in all my aspirations for it falling flat.
I'd like to conclude by executing an *invocation, but I know I'll get distracted and submit before I include it, and of course you can't invoke when editing, so I'll just leave the post un-invoked then re-read and re-re-read it and edit again and again trying to improve upon it and hoping I don't come across as a total dipshit, but knowing absolutely that's exactly how I'm coming across.
Ashenkasesays...I'm going to point out the inevitable error in your base argument which will nullify the remainder of your comment. I will also reveal myself as a grammar/spelling nazi by pointing out egregious errors in your poorly thought out dribble. A subsequent poster will call me out as a grammar/spelling nazi and I will re-reply with "neener neener".

garmachisays...I'm going to reflexively click the up-arrow and give you a point because you already have a bunch of points. I can tell because your text is bigger.
