The greatest TED Talk ever sold - Morgan Spurlock 

he would pass just 13 years later.. Thank you for your positive impact on society and moving with class. RIP good Sir 🕊️

RIP Morgan Spurlock ❤️ Prayers 🙏 to you and your loved ones.

Morgan, "What's your brand?" Tom, "Um... I'm Tom." You win, dude.

This whole execution is a marketing masterpiece.

Love how the lady came out at the end and said, "Ahem. Aren't you forgetting something? I think that money belongs to us."

I clicked to watch it because I actually thought it's the greatest TED talk ever sold 😅 You thought so too? 😂

Always thought it would be a good idea if politicians had to wear clothes with their sponsor logos all over - like in sports...

The speaker was fantastic, and informative. I appreciate his honesty and the presentation very easy to listen to , to enjoy with the dash of humor , very refreshing. He gets an A plus , how could you not like this guy he''s just like an old friend , I feel like I've known him all my life! Excellent!

The importance of Morgan spurlock's talk on transparency is that secrecy is the refuge of the dishonest and the incompetent.

This is a transparent view inside the creation of a transparent movie about transparent marketing.

Are you telling me that Morgan Spurlock couldn't get McDonalds to sponsor 'Greatest Movie Ever Sold'!?

Love the last part: The more your drive people far away from risks, the less rewarded you make them.

"My brand is FedEx, because I deliver the goods"

No ads in public streets. Awesome!

RIP Morgan I loved your film style.

I love the aspect where he had to go to numerous people and companies where he asked them about their brand because when you really do find your brand you do find your strating journey so that you know where you can start heading , he also should how with a couple print they were able to reach more than 900 million people and that it with before they were able to distribute the movies, he showed every possible aspect and went to extreme length to be able to do such thing, this is hands - down my favorite Ted Talk I have very watched.

i googled transparency

I want to suggest the subject of Morgan's next analysis - the negativity of comments on forums. Quite shocked by the dogmatic comments from some, what happened to opinion? While I might not agree with everything in this talk it was thought provoking and interesting, superbly presented and somewhat fun as well. I'd suggest that we try to take away something positive from all interactions.

What a clever and courageous human and soul. God Speed, Morgan. We need more like you in this world.

RIP Morgan!! God surely takes the best… rest easy!!

So *this "TED Talk" was an entire PR Marketing ploy for that documentary he was referring to.*

He is so hilarious on so many levels. I love this man and want so badly to hang out with him for a day.

I would venture to say that anything "Morgan Spurlock" touches --- will turn to GOLD... Awesome TEDTALK! Loved it!

Can we get Morgan to report the nightly news anytime soon? The truth would be refreshing.

Haha I didn't know who he was until he brought up the 'super size me' thing

The comedic value alone is worth the read. The fact that most of yall domt get...is the whole point hes making

this guy can speak

Morgan Spurlock, thanks for this. Transparency does not exist.Deception is the rudimentary concept of life. I do like your exposure of the hypocrisy of the advertising industry. Thanks, Alex

How did they not immediately say "BANtastic"? It hit me right away so what do you all think?

Fantastic....what fearlessness and honesty can combine to deliver....great..enjoyed it

Thank you Morgan.

That was the greatest TED talk EVER. Nice work, MS. You inspire me. All the best.

Goodness gracious. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Ted talk that was so focused on a single egotistical individual. This Ted talk wasn’t about anything, except how great Morgan Spurlock is.

Great TED talk!!! Very interesting approach to branding ! Genius 😄

Morgan Spurlock always gives me douce chills. He can't help but be smug.

Morgan was a great man.

The fact that TED talkers need to pay something like $8000 to maintain their presence at TED talks is just ridiculous.

this entire thing is just one big advertising inception and I love it.

"My brand is FedEx, because I deliver the goods" sounds like a great sex line.

I love his talk wow what a mantra “get outside your mental box and take risks” the Bigger the better! that’s the way to live!

I was so expecting "Cool Whip" to have bought the talk. As Matt Patt would say "Not a sponsor. Just a fan!"

Its great experience to watch ted talks

after 20 minutes, I lost track of what is going on with this talk LOL gotta rewatch someday

this is one of my best ted talk ever. simple, funny and lovely idea.

I like how there's two people making-out in the background of the picture of his father @8:11

He did this so well because it was probably his script for pitching this movie to those companies 😂

I forgot how much I like this Spurlock guy

The greatest TED Talk ever sold - now you know what it means

All I can say is "Thank You".

In my list of ideal, Morgan Spurlock just took a place. Much love from Germany.

Great marketing strategist and implementer both at the same time! A go getter! Take risks, take that plunge. Risks = Rewards. Repeated Rejections = Sure Success one fine day.

Great video, amazing person and an amazing talker. Must watch.

"but i do often find myself at the intersection of dark glamour and casual fly"

EMC2 paid for the naming rights on this talk. Their name should be in the title.

After watching his film because of seeing this I then realised that this is another advertisement. Well done, Morgan Spurlock. Well Done..

Probably one of the best TED Talks I have seen yet.

This is the kind of talk that you liked along the way but barely retained any from by the end.

The good part of the whole interview was the guy who embodied the average author during the questioning

Most amazing TED talk yet.

There's an ending begging for an encore... of the first transparency pic he put up... of the model with the see-through blouse. He could have said, embrace that transparency buddy! Seriously I hope the best for EMC squared and for Morgan's for like this was a brilliant talk!!!

He wasn't lying about the google search.

THIS DUDE IS FREAKING HILARIOUS!!!! xDD

This is one of the best Ted talks I've ever seen. good stuff

Morgan Spurlock the prankster of social commentary. Ted Talks , PBS style infotainment for the masses.

Man: My Brand is Fedex because I deliver the goods. Me: best catchphrase I’ve ever heard in my entire life.

Morgan: What is brand? Lady: ..... brand is blank.... Me: 😂😂 very upfront with that question.

Morgan Spurlock is such an innovative genius.

This was amazing to watch while blazed.

I have spent half of my life watching Ted Talks.

Great talk, I kind of liked the idea.

Like, Like, Like Morgan. Great job.

So brilliant on so many levels.

i get the title now... kinda click bait, but still awesome!

that would be the best movie ever

you need to structure a question like that !! MORE! you need to ask what they are about what would they say if they could sum themselves and their path up or something more On Point!

OMG I remember watching this guy in middle school "supersize me"

Clever idea, the Ban brand brainstorm scene was awkward. :-)

That is EMC squared!

If you watch until end, It feels like he is the definition of survival bandit.

The majority of this Ted talk was clips of his movie. Those who paid to see this seriously got ripped off. And btw this is coming from a huge fan of MP's work!

I googled images for "transparency" 6:20

great speaker

Transparency = truth and honesty, Yes we could do with more of that.

A TED talk about advertising, that is essentially an advert. Although I did like the bit where the marketing people at the deodorant firm couldn't recall what it stood for. Until they fumbled their way to "fresh".

It would be nice to see all outdoor advertising banned in LA.

I thought It was bought by CoolWhip.

The Patriot Act! What a top class marketing ploy.

3:34 what a conversation.

Did anyone else buy stock in EMC after watching this?

What is really happening is this TED talk IS "the product placement" thing they wanted to pull off. In the guise of a story of not being able to pull it off and then doing so.The subtle misdirection and manipulation is uncanny if you look closely.The marketing industry is really a wolf in sheep's clothing.He gave the title money away because his pocket is filled with the money he received from all the companies mentioned in the talk.

transparency offers instant connection, at the end business is about TRUST!

the Deliverance banjo playing at 7:30 was hilarious

"I like a lot of black colours" What, black?

Got me. I watched!

What scared me really badly was when my 8 year old daughter told me she likes the commercials better than any show.....

What a way to present Morgan !

Listening to TED is really insightful and I guarantee anyone that TED is the bomb. My eyes have opened to boundless opportunities and lots of high benefit investment portfolios since I started listening to TEDx talks. Have really perfected my craft and most especially thanks to Melissa Mensen for her wonderful investment Portfolios, have made about $115,000 just from the investment insights from Ms. Mensen.

This entire talk was an ad for the movie...

Transparency is opposite of advertising, advertising digs deep into the subconscious.

This talk was actually an advert for the movie .Pretty clever
