Life After Death by Powerpoint (Corporate Comedy Video) 

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

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

Ol' McMillan had a job... EIEIO.

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

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

My teacher sent me here.

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!

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.

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

BlackAdder joke was priceless and timeless.

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

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

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

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.

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

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. :-)

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

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.

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 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

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

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

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

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.)

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?"

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

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

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!

Love this!

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

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

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.

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

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

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

this guy is ridiculously funny!

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

this guy is just too damn good

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!!! 🥰

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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 love the font analasis

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

So much respect

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.

He makes so many good points in a humorous way !

The dull triangle was the best.

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!!

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

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

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

Brilliant! Love this!! 🤣🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Well I’m very slightly, legally stoned, also having enjoyed a few drinks, I found, that busy animated PP to really reflect on all the stages of awareness and ability to concentrate on said animations. Nicely played sir ;)

If Woody Harrelson is ever in a movie and needs a brother character, this is the guy!

Awesome, original content which is hard to do these days. And I didn't here the efwerd once. You get 10 out of 10. Thank you Don. BTW, I can relate to all of this.

I need my professor to see this, he could learn a few

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

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.

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.

LOL That ridiculous glittery chime sound effect between slides.

Comic Sans and Helvetica walk into a bar. LMAO that was great...

I once forwarded a link to an earlier version of this video to a number of colleagues. It went viral throughout the company an half the management felt offended by it.

Great sketch! I can relate to it all, especially since my former boss was the H.S.H.I.C. of where I was employed. He was truly the Head Shit Head In Charge, though it was ' all in his head'. Keep up the great stand up work that you do, and thanks for making us all smile. PJM

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.

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

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

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

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...

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

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

I show this in my class ever semester when we start talking about power point. Thank You for making a fun way to correct Powerpoint turrets.

This guy is amazing.

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

This will hit the charts in another 5 years!

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.

Hilarious !!

Oh the pie/cake charts freakin’ killed me.

i never get bored of this video

They should show kids this video at school to teach them how to properly use power point

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

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

Absolutely AWESOME !!!

The "Bar charts" HAHAHA!! 🤣🤣

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