Oh my god, I can not believe this is the same guy that makes the silly "True Facts" videos about animals. This guy is amazing. I'm so glad I accidentally found him
I watched Ze's other TEDtalk first. In that, he looks like he's trying to put everything together and get through the 18 minutes he was given. In this one though, oh my god. You can see how much they have created together, and now even 21 minutes is not enough to tell everything. It's beautiful. I love human consciousness. I hope I can meet Ze one day, and tell him how much he has done, and how beautiful all this stuff is.
Ze's look of utter peace as he plays the Overwhelmed Song almost touches me as much as the actual song itself. Here he is, barreling his way through this presentation, not even pausing to let the audience applaud for fear of not making it to the end in time, when all of a sudden he takes a moment to take a hint from the very song he made and just breathe.
This guy has an incredible youtube channel. If you want very silly stuff, he's got it. but his "ashow" is full of deep thinking that will warm your heart and encourage you.
Giving yourself in service of others when we have so many wants and you are still walking your own path is a gift and i appreciate all you have done. Thx ze for bringing this together.
Hey Ze, if u read this, thank you for this talk. I've had a bad day, just another in a long bad year, but this one was harder than most. I'm going to have to save this talk, and come back to it in time of need, ya know? BTW in this last year one of the good things that happened was I found your TH-cam channel and have devoured your interesting facts videos. My favourite feel good, and things I knew nothing about, video has got to be about the leaf hoppers. Comedy helps me maintain my happiness in the face of adversity. Thank you.
Ze seems to have a natural gift of being relatable & unfathomable at the exact same time, I'm so glad I found out "Who He is" (as a creator).. He's made Me cry more than once, but mainly has Me giggling like a kid and squirting Milk out of My nostrils.
I just discovered Ze a few days ago, and I took a screenshot of that exact moment of transcending tranquility he had on his face. I also extracted the audio from that song and set it as my alarm. I now wake up every morning to that tune with a picture of his face in utter peace. It really helps with my depression
I've loved this man's spirit for over ten years. I've learned a great deal from his "silly" True Facts pieces. I wish my teachers in high school could have communicated zest for life as he does.
You know I'm glad I found Ze Frank, I didn't think anyone else thought like this. I'm a very sad person typically, but every now and again, I have this overwhelming desire to spread happiness and show people how wonderful the world truly is. I feel like that's what Ze Frank is doing
I’ve had a lot going on the past few years. Parent’s divorced, neglect, moving twice in a year, a few states away each time, now terrible roommates I can’t get out. But that song. It’s so simple but it made me break down a little. It WILL be fine, and I WILL be okay. I just need to breathe. I may only know Ze Frank for his humor but this video has had a profound impact on me and my mentality on life and the hardships that come bundled with it. Thank you
Ze has turned social media and moreover the entire Internet into an anti-depressant. His ideas and work carry an unbelievable impact upon the world. Thank you, Ze.
Making my rounds to all of Ze Frank’s old TED Talks. I can’t portray how much I was happy he came back for his Facts videos. If he ever comes back to Ted Talks it won’t be soon enough.
I've come here from two videos, the first was Zefrank's latest video for human testing for people who work at an office, the second was a TED talk video of his that was a human test, both great, and this further amazes me, and makes me wish I had not missed out on this! Amazing TED talk, with a wonderfully sweet end that made me smile and cry a bit, lovely work from Zefrank and a great gift for that person. Beautiful!
I had no idea who this guy was 30 minutes ago. I saw his first TED talk...now this. Now I'm about to hunt for any more. I love his outlook...on everything.
the you're okay song gave me chills... it reminded me strongly of the way I felt watching the Sense8 for the first time when all the characters were united listening to What's Up. that comfort we as humans get from feeling deeply, lovingly connected with others is something we need more of these days, i think.
I am so grateful I stumbled upon this. "Hey, you're OK. You'll be fine Just breathe" Oh my gosh, I needed this today. Thank you for sharing heart and humor and your gifts of connection through technology
The best gift I get from every Ze Frank video- whether an older TED talk or a True Facts video… and especially his intimate “A Show” videos- is the verification that (a) MOST of us feel very alone at some point or another… or all the time, (b) that sharing our feelings of loneliness or sadness, depression, anxiety, or anything else is one of the greatest cures for those feelings, and (c) that a metric fuckton (official measurement) of humans in this world are quite decent and maybe even kind-or have the capacity for goodness-despite what feels like overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Oh, yeah… and that ridiculously long run-on sentences are just fine ;) ❤
This guy is so unique, I’m a Fan. This is ten years old to me it’s 2020.... just watched the backwards hippo video we’re locked down with covid pandemic . I laughed today, Thank you ZeFrank
Oh, man. Having a really stressful moment at the end of a strange day, that strange moment when you remember that your life isn't going anywhere and that your problems haven't actually left, you just got really good at ignoring them. And then I heard the okay song. Thank you, Ze.
I've been a fan of ZeFrank for about 4 years now, and he never ceases to amaze me with his ability to just make people smile. No matter how they're feeling, they're guaranteed to be smiling at some point soon. Amazing.
Lol @ his face at 4:57. "I'm... About to whip somebodies ass.." I MUST find the goose remix. I want to hear the whole thing... Funny and awesome stuff.
Love it when people who doesn't really contribute themselves complain so much. I think this was nice, very human and empathic. Good and inspiring talk IMO.
Once upon a time the Gods of Cyberspace shared a bottle of tequila with the TH-cam comment section. The result of that union resulted in the birth of the physical personification of the Internet. This personification would take the name of ZeFrank. Hail to you, our pop-culture avatar.
i have been clinging to a ouple mantras for life for a couple decades njow, one is "and this too will pass." the other is "All you HAVE to do ids just breathe." thanks Ze
I just watched true facts about the proboscis monkey and wanted to see more Ze Frank. I hadn't seen this Ted Talk before and I'm so happy I did. Ze Frank is such a treasure
Oh my god, I can not believe this is the same guy that makes the silly "True Facts" videos about animals. This guy is amazing. I'm so glad I accidentally found him
Funny, I was just thinking same thing.
AudioDriver nee too
Right
That's how a Ze Frank do.
And "Dear Kitten"
The woman’s voicemail about crying at small kindnesses had me sobbing.
My dog walked up to make sure I was ok 💜
Dogs are the best people. This is do true that there's even a song of that title.
🥲
Me too.
Everyone talks about Bob Ross and Mr Rogers, and then there's this man making a chorus out of random internet people just to be kind to a stranger.
That last song was AMAZING!
I have sent Just Breathe to many many people..
Ze Frank is an extremely creative fella. Find myself binge watching True Facts on the regular. 'cause that's how I do.
I watched Ze's other TEDtalk first. In that, he looks like he's trying to put everything together and get through the 18 minutes he was given. In this one though, oh my god.

If Ze needs more time give him more time!
Your comment was made 3 years ago. He still hasn't posted a video
Thomas Takeshita now 4 years
WE HAVE LIFT OFF
Saramoni WE SURE FRICKIN DOODLEY DO!
times up!
There's so much in that head of his. I can feel he needs more time, more space, more, more.
here we will explore true _facts_ about ze frank....
This should be the top comment
That’s how the zefrank doooo
If I heard the song without watching the TED Talk, I would've not liked it. But, knowing the whole backstory made it special
Pat Uszodi I heard a really really really bad Christmas song on the radio once that makes the song sound good
Its all in the details.
This guy has an incredible youtube channel.
If you want very silly stuff, he's got it.
but his "ashow" is full of deep thinking that will warm your heart and encourage you.
I don't cry at many things. But hearing how that last song was made, and then hearing it.. fucking magical.
lxt101 same man
Same, manly tears of manlyness flowing down my manly face.
Manly.
@@RajSingh-qc6lq my lady tears are also manly.
I dunno why ;)
Oh, good. I'm sitting here sobbing, but at least there's a few more of us out here. :P
That's what kindness does to us. Brings us back to our true nature.
Giving yourself in service of others when we have so many wants and you are still walking your own path is a gift and i appreciate all you have done. Thx ze for bringing this together.
Why did that "you're ok" song just make me cry??!
Because it's like a big hug and cuddle from a hundred people who just care about you that second
Hey, you're okay! :)
You'll be fine
Just breathe! 🥰
S Db ... big hug...
I've listened to this many times, and I still get tears when I hear the "just breathe" song.
This is, without a doubt, my most favorite TED talk ever. It’s been my favorite since it was released, and I’m still loving it in 2021. ♥️
the ending= the closest Ze will come to dropping the microphone. It feels real good to do what you tried to do. right on, Ze Frank.
17:40-17:50
The "you'll be fine" song made me cry :D :)
As soon as the little girl's voice started up, it was waterworks. I got nothing.
Same. Sobbing.
To the person responsible for the level of the outro: Please, make love to a cactus.
LeoCrossChaos fucking Right?!? 😂 well stated 👏🏼
LeoCrossChaos lmfao 🤣🤣🤣
That is so much better than saying "go fly a kite." lol
Hahaahhah
I tried but the condom broke.

"Deep emotional song".......3 seconds later BUY A ROLEX
Today, October 7, 2019, I got the Same.Rolex.Ad.😱
Oct 19, 2019...Same Rolex ad. Talk about discordant!
@@tburnette910 it's part of the video. We all got it.
@@dacksonflux whoooosh
Got the same ad. Didn't buy one though

My first Ze Frank was the «True Facts about ducks», it turns out he's not that messed up after all! XD
Thank you, I've been very depressed lately and your song "you'll be fine" made me feel better
If there was a Cult of Ze, I would totally join. I like his flavor of Kool Aid!
I would drink that Kool-Aid!
It was Flavor Aid
Butt drinking kool-aid
(Sorry)
But drinking kool-aid is kinda bad for you
Making my rounds to all of Ze Frank’s old TED Talks. I can’t portray how much I was happy he came back for his Facts videos. If he ever comes back to Ted Talks it won’t be soon enough.
I'm studying psychology and Ze Frank's thoughts are much more effective than anything I've read about thus far. Thank you, Ze Frank
well that ending was calming until the ted logo came up
Laughed more then I should at that XD
*****
lol, you are not alone in this.
Reginald Sin Thanks for warning me!
Seeing Laura's face when she hears "Just Breathe" for the first time...
Mid West: Oh, yes, my man - you read my mind!
this is one of the best talks i've ever seen on TED!
Why do I always end up crying at the end of his videos! So beautiful.
I really feel for the lonely lady on the voicemail... my heart goes out to her... I hope she's doing well. ❤
The people who downvoted are the ones who started Angrygami
HIS NATURAL VOICE WHAT
I've come here from two videos, the first was Zefrank's latest video for human testing for people who work at an office, the second was a TED talk video of his that was a human test, both great, and this further amazes me, and makes me wish I had not missed out on this!
Amazing TED talk, with a wonderfully sweet end that made me smile and cry a bit, lovely work from Zefrank and a great gift for that person.
Beautiful!
Zefrank... the definition of humanity..
+Paprika Harris Yes... He's such an amazing, creative and beautiful soul...
+C'thulu TheGreat
every time I think of that it makes me so sad.
I love that Ze creates something out of every emotion.
I had no idea who this guy was 30 minutes ago. I saw his first TED talk...now this. Now I'm about to hunt for any more. I love his outlook...on everything.
10 years later and this is still relevant
wonderful ted talk
the you're okay song gave me chills... it reminded me strongly of the way I felt watching the Sense8 for the first time when all the characters were united listening to What's Up. that comfort we as humans get from feeling deeply, lovingly connected with others is something we need more of these days, i think.
I love Ze. This video makes my cry almost every time I watch it. This man has a beautiful soul.
I don't care what anyone says. The internet is a beautiful place.
+Phabel Greene ....its not a real place......
+luuke furtado Isn't that why it's so beautiful though? That it's not always a real place?
+Noah Dale beautifuk
I take it back. The internet is terrible. I'm going outside.
DERPAKUS Thank you for that. Corrected
Phabel Greene Well, why would you do that?
This really helped me feel better about my situation, thank you, Ze
I am so grateful I stumbled upon this. "Hey, you're OK. You'll be fine Just breathe" Oh my gosh, I needed this today. Thank you for sharing heart and humor and your gifts of connection through technology
It is such a simple song, but each time I hear the first girl sing, I tear up. It's is so moving to think of how this some was created.
cried listening to you're ok. it just brings out all the loneliness and makes you feel better at the same time. thanks ze. you're magnificent
I love Ze Frank, always makes me laugh. Much needed in 2020.
I was unaware this is how a ZeFrank do
The best gift I get from every Ze Frank video- whether an older TED talk or a True Facts video… and especially his intimate “A Show” videos- is the verification that (a) MOST of us feel very alone at some point or another… or all the time, (b) that sharing our feelings of loneliness or sadness, depression, anxiety, or anything else is one of the greatest cures for those feelings, and (c) that a metric fuckton (official measurement) of humans in this world are quite decent and maybe even kind-or have the capacity for goodness-despite what feels like overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Oh, yeah… and that ridiculously long run-on sentences are just fine ;) ❤
This guy is so unique, I’m a Fan. This is ten years old to me it’s 2020.... just watched the backwards hippo video we’re locked down with covid pandemic . I laughed today, Thank you ZeFrank
Oh, man. Having a really stressful moment at the end of a strange day, that strange moment when you remember that your life isn't going anywhere and that your problems haven't actually left, you just got really good at ignoring them.
And then I heard the okay song. Thank you, Ze.
Came here as a fan of Ze Frank and I didn't know I needed that song at the end. Thanks!
Ze, you are my hero. You are bringer of light. Love light and laughter
I've been a fan of ZeFrank for about 4 years now, and he never ceases to amaze me with his ability to just make people smile. No matter how they're feeling, they're guaranteed to be smiling at some point soon. Amazing.
chill out song (you're okay) suddenly played in my head. its been years since i last watched this. thank you, ze frank
That song made me cry...But, I'm ok, I'll be fine....Thank You ZeFrank.
The anxiety song made me happy cry. Thank you for existing and being a good human.
First good TED talk in a LONG time.
Lol @ his face at 4:57.
"I'm... About to whip somebodies ass.."
I MUST find the goose remix. I want to hear the whole thing...
Funny and awesome stuff.
This guy is so creative. He just takes positives and negatives and gets people together to make such awesome things!
Man I love Ze Frank. That you'll be fine thing was awesome
this needs more views! this guy is amazing!
Best ted talk EVER!!
*Once upon a time, long before making True Facts videos, Ze Frank did something really authentic and genuine. And most people have never seen it.*
How is nobody talking about the fact that zefrank1 started the earth sandwich? That's incredible.
Love it when people who doesn't really contribute themselves complain so much.
I think this was nice, very human and empathic.
Good and inspiring talk IMO.
I loved this man the first time I heard his voice and somehow have never looked at life the same way.
The more I learn about this guy, the more I love him! First heard of him from true facts. I’m a nature nerd
@@mariahgrimes207 Isn't he great? He's knowledgeable in so many areas and his delivery is so calm and soothing.
man I wish I had Ze's amazing voice, and that confidence to do what ever he wants in front of an audience.
Beautiful song with all those voices.
God bless
Wow, that last song was beautiful. ZeFrank, thank you so much
People like this change the world.
Am I the only slightly terrified that it only took two weeks to hunt someone down with only their first name and the sound of their voice.
i finally realised how ze is so interesting to me. his voice sounds so much like michael shanks from stargate
OMG I just found Ze and when I finally saw him not doing True Facts videos here my first thought was he looks and sounds like Michael Shanks too.
Zefrank is great : ) I was feeling really anxious and the end song really makes me feel a bit better. Thank you : )
Still my favorite TED talk of all time
It's been 11 years, and I still come back here when anxiety looms.
16:04 for the song.
TH-cam bringing it back 2019.
Mr. Zefrank1's a badass, pure & simple.
Zefrank you make me laugh and cry. You are amazing. You are a testament to the goodness of humans. Do what a Zefrank do.
“Hey, i’ll be fine. i’m okay. Hey. . .”
this is beautiful. so simple - so beautiful.
you’re an amazing human person :) 🌷🌱
Yay! Another Ze Frank Ted talk. His first was so ... amazing
16:36
Dun know why.. but it made me teary eyed
I always need some Ze frank. Happy I found this video. I was looking for this song for a good half hour
People like you are why there is good in this world. Thank you Ze!
I'm not crying, you're crying!
I am so glad to have discovered Ze Frank! What a wonderful man! And all because I stumbled on 'True Facts about the Tarsier' LOVE HIM!
Once upon a time the Gods of Cyberspace shared a bottle of tequila with the TH-cam comment section. The result of that union resulted in the birth of the physical personification of the Internet. This personification would take the name of ZeFrank. Hail to you, our pop-culture avatar.
That chorus made me feel real good. Thank you
ive never been driven to tears while on the toilet. until now.
Then you've never had a fissure
@@678crazydave i have actually.
i have been clinging to a ouple mantras for life for a couple decades njow, one is "and this too will pass." the other is "All you HAVE to do ids just breathe." thanks Ze
I just watched true facts about the proboscis monkey and wanted to see more Ze Frank. I hadn't seen this Ted Talk before and I'm so happy I did. Ze Frank is such a treasure
The tears are because I know that there are so many people who are not OK, and there is nothing that can help.
The only thing I don't like about the video is how he does not have enough time.
I could watch this for an hour or longer.
Nothing has ever made me so happy that I've cried...until that song.
So amazing! I got goosebumps from the “you’re ok” song
