man pulled up a powerpoint presentation in a comedy club. what a legend.

That one guy who laughed histerically when he just said "comic sans" and "helvetica" is clearly a graphic designer of some sort

"This is a bar chart of my favourite pies. And this is a pie chart of my favourite bars" - Marshall Eriksson

Ol' McMillan had a job... EIEIO.

I'd never thought i'd watch a powerpoint comedy show. Didnt even know such a thing existed. Life is good

"I'd like to buy a vowel, I can't solve your conversation", OMG LOL!!!!

My teacher sent me here.

Microsoft needs to make this mandatory watching before anyone is allowed to buy PowerPoint!

This is not only highly informational, but also extremely funny! When I came to highschool my English teacher (I live in Austria) showed us this clip. The learning effect for me was so good! Since then I rocked every presentation. Still, I will come here once a year and just watch this for entertainment. The man is a legend!

Wit. No swears, no sex, no crap. Pure skill. This is what comedy is, the pure unexpected.

BlackAdder joke was priceless and timeless.

A true comedy genius can have the audience get breathless by laughter, just stating mere facts. It's all about acute observation, right presentation, perfect timing.

While this being extremely funny, this needs to be shown to everybody in school work etc. This is a great way to show how to present info without losing an audience

I got to see this in my class and I was the only student laughing, I almost fell off my seat.

*IVE WATCHED THIS VIDEO 4 DIFFERENT TIMES IN 4 DIFFERENT CLASSES*

Absolutely brilliant. Never thought I would laugh so much just with PowerPoint.

This Sir.... is off the charts. Very funny! Loved it!

2:59 If you use Arial, then it was actually Google Slides, not PowerPoint (Explanation: Google Docs, Slides, etc. uses Arial as the default font.)

I started a new job as a RN for a dialysis company and our educator showed this video to us. The entire class loved it! Don McMillan is so talented and I appreciate how he brings humor to a normally dreary topic. :-)

I don't know how I just came across this. The humor is outstanding and the fact that I have had to deal with this very subject makes it even better. I was working a DOD contract for an Army "course". Occasionally the students were required to receive some classes that were presented with the Death by PowerPoint method of instruction. The cadre that prepared the instruction were thorough in their research, planning and presentation of the subject matter at hand. However, even after being told there was a quiz/test at the completion, as soon as the lights lowered and the screens came to life, the heads started to tilt and they became lifeless.

This is great, this guy hit on every power point pet peeve currently known. I really enjoyed how he did it in a comedic way that made it fun to watch for students. Its too bad this wasnt around when I was in high school and had to sit through all the lack luster presentations by class mates.

I lost it at the CAKE CHART lol

I just want to thank my teacher for showing this in class. I almost died laughing just watching a quarter of it, I regret nothing about that. And now that I watched it completely, it's even better!

This is actually a great teaching tool! It should be required watching for anyone that has access to PowerPoint in their professional work.

My Italian professor showed us this in class - guess as a hint that a lot of presentations haven't been very good. Great video! :)

This is a classic. I watch this every now and then to avoid taking work so seriously.

Whatever happened to that paperclip that popped up to help you in Word... He should be in Power Point nowadays.... "Hi, It looks like you are putting every word you are going to say on this slide, can I help you?"

The KZfaq Algorithm is digging deep for Video recomentions after me watching them all for like 2month straight.

This guy's timing and delivery are incredible. He is one of the funniest guys ever. Love clean comedy.

Thanks for making sense of 43 years of teaching, academia and conference going. I'm taking up comedy for the next 43 years of my career.

I had watched this video for a school assignment. I love this video! I have never laughed so hard at a school video!

I also had to watch this video for a class assignment. I used to think that power points were boring because I didn't know the specifics of power point presentation. This video was actually funny and I was able to learn some interesting facts on preparing a power point presentation.

I know he’s an engineer but, he actually seems like he’d be a good marketing/salesperson

I highly agree. Keeping your Powerpoint presentation simple and to the point is the best thing to do.

I just realized that when the cat doesn't cover it, its telling me to change it. Makes so much sense now. I've been trained by my cat!

I saw Don live once, my sides were hurting from laughing

i come back to watch this every once in a while and i will always love it dearly

I watched this for my class, and I agree with it. All of the topics he talks about are nice to have in your power point but there is definitely a point when it becomes to much.

This is funny but effective. Keeps me learning and entertained at the same time. You don't see alot of powerpoint presentations like this. Thanks for the tips Don!

Watched this for an assignment. Addressed common issues with humor to keep audience engaged. Enjoyed this video!

THIS right here is hilarious. I'm not a PowerPoint content creator but I've sat through TONS of meetings where the presenters did some or all of those things that Don said not to do. Great stuff, Don. You nailed it, man!

OMG! I had a lot of fun with these office and ppt jokes! 😂

Super funny. You had me at the charts, it went into the stratosphere of funniness from there!

1:22 When it went to 2nd slide, I lost it! In my previous life, I worked with many an administrative & executive asst who'd claw your eyes out rather than make minor adjustment to get everything on 1 slide.

...i'm alone in my office right now & am tickled by Don's presentation; awesome!

He makes so many good points in a humorous way !

I really enjoyed watching this video. You make very good points about what should be in powerpoints, and it was very entertaining and very clear to understand. I definitely agree that making your powerpoint with to many bullets could be a bad thing.

I was watching this for a school assignment and very much agree with everything he said! Most people get carried away with power points and he gives some great tips in some funny ways!!

I was watching this for school assignment. This is so funny, if you know about PowerPoint or Presentations, it's a must see!

Great example of what not to do when creating PowerPoint Presentations. I liked how he included comedy into his presentation.

Wow, this was hilarious. I guess that shows how many ppt decks I’ve made! Well done and great comic timing to boot!

Watched this video for school and I must say it's quite impressive with the little bits he references that you see people do all the time

I found this very entertaining. I love the fact that he added in those of us with ADD! ;) I work for a major airline and we are constantly using Powerpoint in our training workshops. Some of the training materials that is sent to us from corporate include the most boring presentations that you can imagine. This is a must share with my training friends.

I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. I loved it! Thank you.

Awesome video, don't think I have laughed this hard in quite a while!!!

Was that a standup comedy act or a true "What not to do with Powerpoint" lecture to a room full of computer users. Either way, true and funny.

I had to watch this video for an assignment and it was great. This guy is funny and he definitely gets his point across on what to do and NOT to do! Enjoyed this video.

Love this!

Man, this is awesome!!! He's totally hilarious!!

He forgot the “do whole presentation in editing mode because I don’t know how to use slide show view”😂

Just saw you tonight in sunnyvale. Didn’t get enough so I came a lookin for more! Thanks for being wonderful you and representing the Silicon Valley!!! 🥰

I have never seen this video. I found it to be very funny and informative. I learned a lot of tips for keeping a power point presentation clean and professional. It was very accurate.

Hilarious - got his points across loud and clear. Great post.

After AGT, I came here and allover else to find him. Can't have enough. Too brilliant.😂

Very good. Literally just talking about PowerPoint at work. This made be laugh - brilliant.

this guy is ridiculously funny!

Finest PowerPoint Tutorial on the web. I have learnt a lot. Thank you!

this guy is just too damn good

he's so brilliant! we watched this while we were practise our presentations xD

Brilliant! Love this!! 🤣🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This is so underrated 😂 I learned so many things in just 9 minutes.

What makes this an actual presentation and not a skit is him ending with "any questions?" 😂😂😂

I laughed out loud so funny!! this guy is amazingly funny....love it!!!

Excellent! Great stuff. Really enlightening. Meaningful. Deep. I love it. Thank you.

Absolutely AWESOME !!!

Got an onuce of Jay Leno in your high pitch voice, love it 🤣

I saw this video years ago. I referenced it a lot for friends. When I tried to excitedly pull it up, I did not know what search terms to use and I could never find this. Then, the glorious API finally began to work...

All of this, spot on (Saw you years ago at Rooster T. Feathers in Sunnyvale, and in the "Skunky Beer" commercials for Bud).

I had to watch it twice because I kept losing my place from laughing so hard.

Brilliantly presentation and incredible funny and true . This is something to remeber

Thank you! finally somebody explains all the powerpointfrustrations in one go!

I love how you connected PowerPoint popularity and the Mortgage Meltdown in the US. But I'm sure you're aware we have to be careful with confounding variables! For example, even though beer, wine and vodka all have water in their composition, it is not the water that makes you drunk. And also, consumption of ice cream and sunburns are not correlated, even though the frequency of both increases during summer.

saw it in information and library class! brilliant!

Unlike most Powerpoint presentations I paid attention for the whole thing. In the Army, a slam, burn, and slur is being referred to as a Powerpoint Ranger.

I love this, he used some of his older vid, but still it's awesome.

The "Bar charts" HAHAHA!! 🤣🤣

So much respect

10 years later and people are still watching this this is GOLD hAHAHAHA

Had to watch this video for a school Assignment. Very funny and I enjoyed watching it!

I'll remember this name, great clean comedy! I loved it!

i never get bored of this video

One of my instructors recommended viewing this--it's been a long time since I laughed that much at something (partly because I've been in business, and seen most of those things at least once). Luckily, the only one of those rules I break with any sort of regularity is moving text, but only then as a way to bring text onto the screen.

Executive Informational Expert in Operations. I'm the E I E I O. LOL

This was off the charts!

LOL That ridiculous glittery chime sound effect between slides.

Great work Don! I'm showing this to all my students!

this is the first video clip throughout my studies I've laughed so much in so funny but so right

Just discovered this guy today. . . boy have I been missing out

This is so hilarious to watch while learning what not to do!

hahaha this is so hilarious! Great work Don!
