Armed with an audience-suggested topic ("stumbling towards intimacy") and a deck of slides he's never seen before, Veneziale crafts a meditation on the intersection of love, language and ... avocados?

This man did the whole improv thing without going umm uhh or anything. That was just mind blowing😶
Incorporating the ice like that on the spot was brilliant
I feel like there was an inside joke I was left out of.
It's an improvised talk
Basically the guy doing the talk has no idea what the slides are, he's just given them and has to improvise some BS explanation for them
And he's talking in the same way every Ted talker talks.
Wow, for real?
Yes he would say hello and the audience would laugh very annoying, they just seemed to laugh at anything he said
He is making sense out of nonsense. Best talk ever!
Just a btw for those who have never seen this. The entire intro was BS. He's not an expert in anything. Every slide was a surprise and he had to make the whole thing up on the spot. Even the topic was a surprise. That's why Sarah Kay paused so long, she was making up the intro.
Thanks for explaining that. Geez they made that so confusing
@@KingOfShenanigan they literally said what the scenario is in the first few seconds of the video.
Some of yall dont read and it shows lol
Oh my god, thank you! I was so confused while the audience was laughing and I didn’t get it at all!
Also want to mention, sometimes I’ll put on a video when I’m working and miss the first little bit- maybe you need to let go of your visual cue receptors and let us all share a little more intimacy!
In improv these types of games are common. The whole point is to put the actor in a jam and make them work their way out. Sarah Kay is a renowned slam poet that I'm familiar with. Just search her and listen. She's quite remarkable. It's worth a few minutes of your time. She speaks beautifully.
I'm surprised but thankful I read the video's description. It all made so much sense. Those poor souls in the comment section though 😂😂😅
This is the best TED Talk of 2019 and it isn't even a real TED Talk.
I love this! Brilliant! Kudos to the speaker who gave a quick witted improvised presentation. The quirk made me smirk. *wink*
What’s funny about this TEDtalk? He didn’t know what the tedtalk was going to be about or the slides until the lady at the beginning gave the topic of audience choice. He’s an Improv dude, and ITS ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS and speaks on the nature of Improv
Improvisation is a wonderful skill!
Ahh yes. I knew that all my answers would be Avocado
Wow, very impressive!
I love that Sarah Kay introduced the speaker 💜🥰
Edit after seeing the whole video: that improv was genius! The way he could create a speech from something so random!
He's improvising his speech with what he wants to talk about along with what the slide show is showing and implementing the pictures into his speech. It wasn't all that funny but it would be a bit more comical if you saw this live. I got a few chuckles out of this.
Actually the topic is chosen for him too. I thought the second half was pretty funny.
Every time they laugh and I don't, I feel more and more unintelligent.
I thought I was alone
what's improv?
😂😂😂
Actually most people in there doesn’t know anything they all pretending they know so they have to laugh 😂
@@kushagragangwar18 so it's all fake? nothing means anything there? made up on the go?
WE'RE DOING IT LIVE
He is brilliant ❤wow mind blowing how he can do this without any hesitation such a genius👏👏👏❤
Cruel and strange punishment. But much kudos to this man.
Maybe the people who don’t understand what was so funny also don’t understand what the word improvise means...
That could be it...
i didn't understand 😂
it's a new language for me and hard to understand the funny part
who is ted and why does he talks so much
Lmao
ted talks regularly.
This would have been a great upload at the 1st of April
I GET IT!! He had to use the photos to come up with metaphors that would help him convey his ideas. The crowd is laughing at him mentally twisting himself in knots trying to accomplish this, effectively communicating that they know what he is going through... but the empathy communicated through laughter because the context is that he's the one who's supposed to be the brainiac genius on stage and subverting their expectations.
I admire this man and the way his brain works.
Wow, am I the first person to understand why they’re laughing?
I feel so smart!
Or other people are so stupid they cannot even read what written in the first few seconds?
Nobody knows what I went through.
It’s depressing.
@@ericdary8421 I've considered that...and it goes for us both...w/no way to reconcile and forgive.
Such hypocrisy. They are all fake. Sad, all the way around...shallow people.
No compassion or empathy.
this guy is good at comedy and improvisation. Well done
He's been doing it for a long time, he and I went to the same college and he was part of an improv comedy troupe even back then in the mid to late 90s.
This was deeply entertaining! Such a unique idea for a talk, as well as funny, creative, and surprisingly understandable lol
The Universe is not in a hurry. You are. It’s why you’re tired, it’s why you’re anxious, stressed, and disappointed. Trust that what was meant to be yours, will be yours Unrush yourself. Hope our channel helps you on your journey !!
Wise and true words that are not easily grasped; in fact, few will.
I thought I have learned patience, myself. Age does wear us down after so many disappointments.
@@kirstinstrand6292 Stay True, blessings to you in all of your endeavours 💖🙏💖!!
I was so confused about the slides until I realised it's an improv😂😂 very well done!!
To those who don't get it, this guy is adlibbing everything. He was given a topic as he walked onstage, and the audience knew beforehand that he was going to improvise it. Hope this helps someone get the joke!
This was amazing. I love what he and other members of Freestyle Love Supreme can do. Go Two-Touch!
People who skipped the first 10 seconds of this video will have no clue of what's going on in this TED Talk
I'm amazed by how many people don't know what's going on. It's written in big letters, how more obvious can it be.
@@jendib many people knows english as second language so maybe the word"improvised" wasn't learnt thus not knowing what's all these laughs are about
It could only be decided at the conclusion and even then, most missed it.
Decifered...not decided.
Incredible improv skills
Wow!!!! EXCELLENT!
They need to do more of these!
This video is amazing! I immediately subscribed. I’ll be watching all of your videos tonight! TED talks are the most motivating videos.
I don't think you can watch _all_ their videos in one single night 😂
Laurens programmiert True.
😂😂😂 Now one of my favorite talks!
OMG, this is epic! I laughed so hard! Great job!!!
Ah I live this one, lighter than a breeze
This is ridiculously impressive 🥑
Brilliant.
The 1st TED talk I've watched 3 times lol
There needs to be one of these from every year at TED
When the avocados showed up I thought he was gonna say work towards becoming vegan lol
*After this talk I realized just how stupid I am*
Then you are smarter than people who deny they are stupid.
@@kinsmed I agree!
Most felt stupid..
Do not feel bad.
daaaaang... hes good
Speaker: *Breathes*
Audience: HAHAHAHAHA
He's good!
Best stage art for TED
I bet Anthony could drop a freestyle that would impress the greatest hip hop artists of our time.
GREAT
Very funny and very clever. Thank you.
I actually feel like that is helping me in life though WHY hahaha!!
absolute genius
Brilliant!
Kudos to this man 😂😂😂😂
Your intellect would have to be in the upper three-digits to do something like this.
Best, most relevant TED talk ever!
She said...Our Next speaker and everybody laughed...why? and so it went on. This was really spoiled by the frequent laughing. I couldn't watch it in the end, so annoying
OMG this was awesome!!! Hilarious!
Is the content real and the slides random? Or is the content and slides all improvised? I feel confused
Lee Lewis everything is improvised :)
The slides are random. The 'content' is made up on the spot once the improviser\'presenter' learns the subject.
What inspiring speech ! ♡
6:33 this is how I’d imagine a classical American person
Its big brain time
Thai dude is brilliant
Basically every oral exam I've ever had.
And working towards.................... Avocado lol
okay but it would have been so much funnier if the audience wasn’t warned-causing everyone to worry that they were the only one’s not understanding a dang thang 👀
8:40 when the teacher says a complex joke and every body gets it.
I`m the old man wearing white in the center
Are they pulling a sam hyde on themselves?
Context: check out Think Fast Talker Smarter book by Matt Abrahams.
2019 “Respect and dignity.” Furthermore: (Monaco!!) • “Respect and dignity, 2019?”
So funny
Funny!😂
I don't understand what he speaking about and why they laughing.
Vijay Reddy its improvised, a fun made up on the spot ted talk. The audience is laughing because the speaker is is doing such a good job at dealing with the slides as they appear.
Vijay Reddy he is just saying whatever comes into his head and is very good at it
If only I could do this to BS my school presentations
Are there any talks on the art of improv?
Classic example of Groupshift. The phenomenon of group influence over individual behavior.
It accounts for the Mob-laughter.
The "group laughter" is because it's really funny 😂🤣😂
Visual reseptors are vital.
It is how some of us convey what we feel inside, when we yet to have the words.
Also; without visual reseptors, it is easier to deceive someone.
For the only information being recieved are words, and words can be altered and manipulated.
What I believe I'm trying to say is;
It is much easier to lie to another through words than our body language and actions.
Our actions can sometimes deceive as well.
Was this filmed the night weed was legalized in Canada?
I would love to give an improvised ted talk! I improvise about 90% of any presentation I give, often sticking to a handful of facts and making a story around it at that moment (I never add fake facts though). People are always complementing on how amazing I am at giving presentations and I get high grades for it. My best friend knows I do this and she always laughs about it. I once did a presentation with someone and he made a powerpoint I had never seen up to that point (I feel guilty for not putting effort in the presentation, but mind I was severely depressed at the time) I bullshitted my way through it by randomly pointing at things and smiling while saying the little I knew about the topic, and got a 9/10.
what an idea sirji!
I don't get it... Why is everyone laughing?
I read in the comments he was improvising but it's still not THAT funny.
Does that mean he is not an expert on anything?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
He would make a good politician.
I am a kid 🍬Can I grow in this growing world??
The world is yours, kid.
Muah ha ha ha! I’ve taken the world!
Forget this world, young one. There is nothing prevalent other than poppycock, lies and superficiality. So Sorry.
I don’t understand the laughing
It's an improvised talk, that is stated in the beginning and the title of the video.
The slides have no connection to the theme improvised by the woman before the talk. He then has to talk about it in connection to the slides.
Laurens programmiert seems like a you had to be there kind of thing
@@evanjohnson7515 No. They marvel at his creativity and ingenuity.
Improv; he is making it up on the spot based on the subject he didn't hear until just before he went onstage.
chas ames i just missed it’s improv man. I’m watching, no idea what he’s talking about and people are laughing at seemingly nothing. Also, improv is a pretty common skill.
Yes, but what is the *biggest* rock?
Am I the only one wondering why they’re laughing so much the whole time? Only a few funny moments 🤔
U read the description ?
HAHAHAHA CAN’T STOP LAUGHING WOW HAHAHA
Ok
Why is everybody laughing all the time? he is very humorous I agree.. but... however very good talk.
So.... Professinal BS'itter. This guy should go into Politics.
(BTW this is the most slides I have seen in a TedTalk of late years. lol)
Hello internet
Hello, Grace.
How's your day?
if one hears "Oink Oink" not the same as SEEING while hearing.. "Do me a Favor"... "Up Against the Wall Mofkr " ¿
its a small world after all
Were the slides not meant for the talk and he just improvised each time he saw them? Was he really an expert an MIT? What is going on??!
He did not know what his talk would be about. The slides were completely new to him, that's why it was so funny.
if feel the defrenc tokined
😂😂😂😂😂
A very cunning linguist
👍🌷
