And that is how a Ted Talk do.
That's how a zefrank do😆😆😆
So glad to see that that's his real voice and not his true facts voice 😆 I'd love to see more "stand up" from him
Congrats on achieving perfection & thank you for facing the other way.
This is what bingeing True Facts will do to your CZcams recommended.
And i’m not complaining
It's 2020 and I just got the memo. I'm pleased nonetheless.
Binging.... but yea this video is 13 years old and it is just hopping in my recommended
@@davidec.4021 Me neither
Your not lieing
Even his dad is a genius. He won the Nobel prize in Chemistry in 2017.
Like father, like son.
OMG this is actually true. Insane!
@@jenniferm6093 yep, ikr!
Really?
@@harukrentz435 yes
Wowsers
Ze Frank, a man ahead of his time. Perfect.
Yes!! I was thinking how he was so ahead of his time
A true pioneer. My favourite moment was when he comes to the part about what makes websites popular and the screen shows, "Dance like an idiot and don't sell anything", and immediately my mind strayed to TikTok. Ze Frank didn't know how accurate that would be... or did he?
OH MY GODS.
IT'S ZE FRANK.
THE WHITE MORGAN FREEMAN DUDE.
TRUE FACTS IS AMAZING.
lol
This is how Ze Frank do
The new viewers are here.
OMG!!!!! He IS The White Morgan Freeman!!!! I never realized that till now...
@@JoshVanLoon1 Sportsracer?
Watching this in 2019, it's crazy how much tech and vocab has already changed!
scary hey
Never thought Netscape would make me nostalgic :P
Watching this in 2020, it's crazy Zefrank starts to make music video about mating dance of birds
And zefrank
Mainstream internet has gotten so much less productive and interesting
Thankfully the fun stuff is still out there, just in different places
I watched this years ago and thought, "This is kind of cool. A bit more fun than some of the speeches." Now after years of watching Ze, I clicked on it again and thought, "Wow, this was REALLY ahead of its time. This is VERY cool!"
Ze, thank you for being such an inspiration, bringing joy to us, reminding us to think and be joyful.
I just cannot believe how much the internet has changed in 10 years. Wow.
What is it now
@@Stellar-Cowboy still internet I guess
@As you can see you dont say
You should see it in three years from back now.
by changed do you mean not at all? lol people are still jackasses, they still post wacky photos, they still do weird Google searches... You name it
Ze man, ze legend, Ze Frank
Hanz get ze Flammenwerfer
Ichbims Derepep WTF does THAT mean? 🤣
@@treering8228 its a german meme. It means: Hans get the Flamethrower
Now I know how to pronounce his name!
Ze Frank was at the dawn of the internet's social experience explosion here. What an amazing thing to capture. It was a big crazy tool for odd experimentation. Nobody knew how it could be fully utilized, but these were ideas that could be highly refined or repurposed. Very very cool.
“These are True Facts about the comedic genius...”
You read that in Ze Frank’s voice.
Exactly
I’m watching this is 2020 during the quarantine. Thank you CZcams algorithm.
I saw your comment and briefly thought I had been here and commented before.
Just found him on his animal channel true facts! So hilarious! Check it out!
Sometimes it's actually good for something.
Ha I’m in 2021 from the future. (PS Biden when’s the election and a Buffalo breaches the capital)
@@withlessAsbestos Here from 2022 and the country is seeing the effects of trump pulling the flush lever. Women are being reduced to property again, and gays and trans will be hunted like animals. Clarence Thomas will have to divorce that nut case wife of his, leave the Supreme Court, and become properly himself. I don’t think he actually sees that last part coming.
Am I the only one who is completely in love with this guy?
samichgrrl no, you're not the only one.
Nope.
Not even a little bit, however, the majority of people commenting are totally clueless as to what his humor is or they just want him to be in Morgan freeman mode :/
I think many of the people are younger than this recording from 2004...not even 2007, which is what everyone thinks because they can't pay attention to anything.
Ugh
samichgrrl No.
Move over. I saw him first.
Holy fudge, this was uploaded even waaaay before YT was googlefied.
I feel so old 😃
Way back before machine learning and algorithms jumbled everything up because they think they can predict what we want to see. Right down to the order comments are shown.
"Here are true facts about Ze Frank"
I liked it. I wish ZeFrank could explain this talk in his Dear Kitten voice.
That was the most random ted talk i have ever seen.
Ha! Word, me too..
Legend
And the most important.
“Damn it Jerry what am I supposed to do with these 3 minutes”
Blame Chris
Legendary
Nope nopity nope. He's the holy grail. He is the sizzle of smart. He makes my neurones fume in happiness and my heart beat like a human heart. He's the lightning that brings Frankenstein's creature to life. I'd gladly crown him King of the Universe. He makes even bad jokes sound funny. He's Ze.
TED and Ze Frank are two of the best things I've found my seven years here on CZcams.
Young Ze looks alarmingly like Hugh Laurie
He could star in a Stuart little/ dr house reboot!!!
I think more Paul Bettany
A very young Hugh Laurie!
Better than Hugh Laurie! IMO
Why does no one know about Ze Frank? For how brilliant he is he deserves a broader audience!
I've tried introducing my students to Ze with some of his less colorful versions of True Facts (don't want anyone running to the office to report me). They don't react. I weep for this generation.
"And you come back as a duck" ah, the precursor to untitled goose game
That explains a lot, actually.
I just recently started watching Ze Frank, and I loved his videos. I still do, moreso now than ever before. But half an hour ago, I saw this video of something I watched 4 years ago, and I realised that I've been watching and been amazed by Ze Frank for so much longer than I had thought.
It's the little things in life.
this man is so freaking brilliant.
CZcams algorithm:
2007 : no
2010: no
2015: no
2017: no
2018: no
2019: YES
lol right? I was watching the stinkhorn video and this came up.
2020 for me.
@@jetkwan6707 been a fan of ze since day one. What gives, CZcams?
Hey, i just remember that this very video was the source of my english assignment about presenting something back in my 2010 high school era (back then was watching it from the TED website). And now seeing him doing the True Facts series was really amazing (i forget it was him when doing this presentation/video). And the things he talked about here has come to fruition and advancing.
I think I've probably gone back and watched this every one of those years. Ze Frank is one of the original genius Internet "creators". Watch his "the show" and "a show" and you are seeing the seeds of a lot of what is still good about CZcams, as well as some warnings about what could go wrong.
THIS is the guy who makes True Facts?!?
Strix182 Yes
Ya,Behbeh!
Yes!
And pet diaries.
He looks so different now, between 2007-2014 he changed alot!
It's a little less amazing if you notice that this was filmed in 2004, but ya he changed a lot!
BizarreIoveTriangle you're so right
it's 2018 now
Age and Buzzfeed will do that to ya.
It's called TIME
It's been 13 years and this is in my recommendations
Hes not only smart and insightful but funny as hell xD
240p.. we meet again.
Yes yes 240p will soon roam the earth like it did 7 years ago buffering in all it's glory
Overused comment.. we meet again
winer
I have mine set up 240p to save data haha
of course you do, carolyn
Zefrank you’re awesome. You always make me feel better. I especially love your narration of the dear kitten series. How those folks got such amazing footage for that series is beyond me.
How does his humor fluctuate so quickly between "way above my intelligence" to "shaking keys in front of a baby"
I LOVE those keys.
howdareyou.
This has got to be the best speaker ever on a Ted Talk.
Ze you freakin' genius! The audience couldn't keep up!
12 years later I finally see this video recommendation from YT.
Wow, never knew ZeFrank did a TED. Really impressive, yet not shocking when everything else have been so good.
How the Ze Frank do...
😂🥰
Dear CZcams, why did it take so long for this recommend?!?
This video is 16 yrs old. I’m not complaining. I would have loved to see this so much sooner....
Ah, yes. This starts with one of those old scam emails to launder money. I miss that... Those were such innocent times.
This guy has an amazing mind. What a speaker too!
I remember the days of CZcams when you couldn't put the video in full screen because it was way too grainy.
Adore this man! What a fun and genius soul.
This talk feels almost exactly like a Bo Burnham comedy show....guess we found one of Bo's primary comedic influences :P
*This* is how you do a TED Talk.
This guy is seriously deranged.
...as well as a complete delight!
Thanks much for your delightfully demented videos!
But I am a bit disappointed that there are no references to "bebbies", how the Internet "do", and strange facts about "penises".... Maybe next time.... ;-)
This, is how sdushdiu do
I Love Ze Frank! Not only is he a total boss Stud... he's one of the gods of comedy. Check out everything he does. Top notch!
I love his dear sad cat therapy stuff
ZeFrank is a shining example of a playful and in the most complimentary sense "childish" intelligence. As children, we are all possessed of these same playful, inquiring, and creative instincts. In the vast majority of people as we grow into "maturity" (which I use here in its most derogatory sense) this fearless intellectual inquisitiveness is gradually relinquished in favour of socially accepted "certainties" which is why the vast majority of adults suck so bad.
This was yet another fun TED talk from Zefrank that I binged watched from two other TED talks! Very fun and insightful, and I really liked the humor, especially for the games (Being a gamer myself).
This was fantastic!
Young Ze reminds me of Jim Carrey
Sim Tan totally
Fuckin A dude he does
NOTHING like jim
The only difference being Jim has not been funny since around the period In Living Color was on, and Frank is still as funny as ever. Once comedians start getting into hardcore political activism you know their wellspring of creativity is dry. Not just my opinion -- have heard tons of comedians who are still funny saying the same thing. Jim was brilliant but went thru a lot of mental illness and his bits became stale.
You should look up NOW Ze it's really weird...
2021. Zefrank still at it. You go man
The “am I feeling lucky” got me good😂😂
Is this the guy who does Sad Cat Diary? GOD I LOVE THAT.
"He explained to me he was in a bind"
He was way behind, and he was willing to make a deal.
1.5 million subs to ZF and counting.... glad to see he's making *some* money with this internet thing now :)
But I see no ads though!
Kala Pradeep no ads = no money
Riyad Chokri He is pretty high up in BuzzFeed I believe
+ArchieJG Yep, at least, last I heard he was the overall video director. That has to be making something.
Hey, i just remember that this very video was the source of my english assignment about presenting something back in my 2010 high school era (back then was watching it from the TED website). And now seeing him doing the True Facts series was really amazing (i forget it was him when doing this presentation/video). And the things he talked about here has come to fruition and advancing.
I just watched this video and had the very same experience! I thought I had just "discovered" him recently but I've been watching him for a long time now!
Ze Frank is a freaking genius.
This is a great leap for comedy! Thank you Ze Frank!
Hard to believe this was 20 years ago. So much has changed, but then again it's all so very current & relevant today as well. This is just a tiny bit of the multitude of reasons why Ze Frank is an actual pure brilliance beyond genius.
Oh, internet before memes, how I loved thee...
Mahir and Cats would like a word.
There was no internet before memes.
@@GunnyStilgar You're just too young.
@@linoduma8908 read it again
@@GunnyStilgar My point stands.
aw, little baby ze
When TEDTalks meets Just for Laughs you get ZeFRANK
Quite a remarkable character. Blessings, my man.
that's just a part of what he is known for.
he's pretty much one of the first, if not the first vlogger ever, but he is the one that made vlogging what it is today.
Ze looks young? GOOGLE looks young!
Am I the only one who thinks that the “duck” from the Buddhist game looks and awful lot like a certain goose?
Yes, yes he is. Great series. I wish for it to never end.
not going to lie I felt very lost for some reason.
Forgive me, I had to ask:
is your username inspired by Gin Wigmore?
EmptySpace94 no, but that's curious, i'll look it up/
Gen Scinmore I'm watching right now and I don't have a clue what he's talking about.
Jesse Meyer It's about the creative process, a sense of purpose and a dash of self-deprecating humor.
Same here. I didn't get any of the joke.
5:42 damn, its nuts how old you feel when you see an old browser page.
I love this dude, Ze is so funny .
A brilliant, highly original stand-up set!
look up Stephen Wright and then comment again... Having said that, I do appreciate Z. F's work.
If Ze ever needs a place to stay, he can come live with us.
I clicked on this for Ze Frank
Classic. I'm a huge fan of his "True Facts". After watching this clip, I'm reminded of a young Steve Martin.
Hahaha I love this guy his true facts channel is hilarious
This was a great routine, but it actually made me feel bad in a way- in the sense that everything is becoming so random and temporary now :/
Holy crap. An ancient zefrank video. I’m screaming
I think he's made the TED talk so much more watchable with the added humor, they're a little boring sometimes but he's so awesome! much watch all his vdieos xD UR THE BEST!!
I hear 1970’s Steve Martin in there somewhere
I can see that.
That's how a ZE FRANK do.
Ankle Donna This is a Ze Frank bay bay.
BEBEH
Love this guy, we need more of him!!
A very long time ago, I watched this video and became absolutely amazed with this channel TEDtalksDirector. I used to watch BreakingNYC, RWJ's vlog channel, where I met Meekakitty. I subscribed to her channel as well. A few years later, Meekakitty put up a link for Ze Frank's channel and I became a huge fan. Having long forgotten about this man, as I watched his videos I was led to this TED talk. I thought, "I can't believe he was on TED!" It's interesting how life experiences come full circle.
Well, that ended abruptly!
livingformusic93 Right?! Bizarre.
I think he did it on purpose
It started abruptly, too. :)
OMG ZeFrank looks sooo young here! Quite attractive too
he aged quite nicely
I've been watching Ze videos for about 2 years now and never seen this before. I love his style of humour and I got from his True fact he is incredibly smart but im only now finding out just how smart he really is.
I get one of those “I want you to have all of this money” faxes at least twice a month at work.
Ze looks like House M.D.
LOL
Watching this in 2018 Can't Believe😂😂😂
Watching this in 2019. I want to believe.
I could watch him talk for hours.
I just watched ze for about 20 minutes. I regret nothing.
I love a beautifully twisted mind. 🖤🇨🇦
Tamarra James beautifully stated
this guy... I like him
Can't believe it's been 13 years.
I forgot I had watched this already a month ago. I just watched it again, all the way through.
and I say: mom, dad...
brilliant!!!
Ahhh. Zefrank was young once. I can't beleive this was ten years ago.
Shit, was that rude? Sorry, Ze!
who taught your math bruh?
Arthur Jia What do you mean by that?
10? Try 15. This video was filmed in 2004.
@@mysticwolf11 And the comment was written in 2014, so...
@@mysticwolf11 15? Try 16!
i miss his shows too! long live zefrank
I'm so excited for his new show :)
Congrats Ze! Great presentation :o)
