Enjoying this talk? You'll love the brand new TED Radio Hour series - Mind, Body, Spirit. Hear TED speakers share their eye-opening ideas on how we think, move, and feel. th-cam.com/play/PL2TjQf2riraLkqqFGxK65JI-leCAxm1eD.html
That’s great, thanks for sharing. Reggie is the single most fantastic mockery of TED talks ever done, just like the “Public Radio” scenes in Parks and Rec are the greatest mockery of NPR known to mankind.
@@jdmcnutt98 the no fun committee is here 😩
He would make a good politician
*braces for replies taking my comment seriously*
You are a potato
Joe Henderson Thank you so much. I've aspired to be one all my life.
It's basically already as coherent as a trump speech XD
Lawrence Lentini
He completely understands the nature of what voice sounds like, not actual communication or necessarily song. It's like he's doing an impression of all human noise, but not an impersonation, capturing just the essence without the details. Frickin brilliant
It's satire
is this you attempting to capture the essence of his sentences
Nothing is just satire with reggie
(in fake English accent) For Watts, the intrinsic nature of the voice is not to communicate something, but rather, to communicate the sense that something has been communicated.
Tbh. This is how I hear everything. Even music.

nobody here knows what they just watched but we’re all in agreement that it’s incredible
Because of his accent of course
I know exactly what i was watching . And i understand everything . If you do ,you will Love it even more
Glorious gibberish
100% true
this is bs cosmopolitan af
The French he was speaking at the start was utter jibberish as well. This guy is brilliant I love him
But, sometimes we can see, because the people here did things, we can eat. But when you're angry with someone...
@@lucaswhitfield718 Exactly.
So was the english
No it wasn't. Can't say whether the Portuguese was gibberish but the French was French.
@@baimbridgevoret2309 it had some french words but i don't think it made sense. He was probably repeating things he's heard French Canadians say.
Big up for the translaters doing their best with the subtitles...
It's automated
it says "sprachgewirr" in german.. literally meaning language-tangle haha
I wonder how the sign language translator did to the side of the stage 🤣
(Gibberish)
Nothing better than a TED talk that completely takes the piss out of the whole 'TED talk' concept........
Well considering the E in TED stands for Entertainment I'm not really sure where you're going with this line of thought...?
+Synth You've been reported, enjoy you're warning, next time TH-cam ban

Comment made me lol.
That is not a very direct assumption, but nevertheless it is a very important aspiration. People don't feel freely as if though they do not do the other without ever having to admit to the enevitable underlying victimisation of the truth. It is not contemporary to understand the very resemblance of psychology itself.

He's definitely not saying nothing though.

This is Reggie's masterpiece. All the pieces fit together so perfectly.
I also really liked his performance on Pop Tech
@@TrevorCurbo I forgot about that one! I just went and watched it again, it really is amazing.
I just saw him live 2 days ago and I still can’t get over it. He’s exactly like this (when he wants to be) with utter spontaneity between awesome songs. Brilliant set!

He sounds like me trying to reach a word minimum on an essay.
Ben Knudson hahahaha
bahahaha!
Ben Knudson same
Word minimums in school ruin our ability to communicate concisely and effectively.
Ben Knudson I hate word/page minimums, in school and Uni, most of the time I always get all the information needed as clear as possible in half the necessary count.
This guy is the best at what he does. No question. Now what is it that he does?
Sulfuric Gamers just a human that’s humaning
He is a comedian that does “stream of consciousness”
i'm sure there's another ted talk analyzing this performance to death.
Entertain.
he plays band for late late show with james corden
He detailed on a podcast years later that this entire performance was improvised on the spot
that would be incredible
The music, sure. There's absolutely no way he improvised the dialogue.
@@lukehughes6943 idk - I saw him do an entirely improvised hour two times recently. I wouldn't be surprised if this were too!
@@brylaw recently?! Where? I feel he got the Corden gig and stopped doing live stuff.
@@lukehughes6943 Oh you bet he did. Every concert Reggie does is completely different. All the words, etc. His whole modus operandi is speaking and playing spontaneously without preparation.
He literally roasts everyone who has ever done a TED talk while capturing the essence of the entire thing while speaking nonsense
John Wayne Sam Hyde did it first , it doesn’t matter but if you haven’t seen it you need to see that
john doe Sam Hyde's talk was recorded in 2013, about a year after this one.
It's nonsense only for unprepared minds,
LOL, you've literally proven the OP's point.
It's the ones who claim to be the most "woke" are always easily the most hypnotized and arrogant.
I get a kick out of it.
Speakers' reasons for speaking like that is nonsense. It's only snobby, uselessly pedantic, assholes that speak like that... and tech manuals
Absolutely no clue what was happening but brilliant
There's nothing to understand. that's the point, to not make sense at all.
He’s trolling. Using big words and sounding scientific because most ppl on ted talks are smart ppl
+Matt Serna he's being ironically superfluous ;)
As a Englishman that is one of the best english accents ive ever heard from an American
Sounds like he's channeling Christopher Hitchens.
He is British
Reggie Watts is not British. Reggie lived in Germany and his mother is French, which probably explains why his French and German accents are pretty good too.
Uhm, he's German, actually.
@@Firewalkerbg He has lived more than 30 years in the US, since he was a teen. He's American.
This is not called talent, he is simply in a completely different plane, light years ahead than the rest of us. We're privileged to witness him performing for us, mere mortals.
What sounds like a compliment also sounds slightly like an insult lol
Agree. This is a masterpiece. We are lucky to be able to witness such an incredible level of talent
The audio equivalent of "name one thing in this picture"
Omg yes
10 min where someone has the opportunity to be absolutely insane in front of an audience without being committed to an asylum.
Talent × crazy = talent
Perception of everything is key to the underlying situation of the current present in retrospect to the right here and now. Day he go Into that rif of the opposite identicals will that be known all that is to be the epitome of the day before tomorrow.
Me getting out of the shower lmfao
If that's what it was, I think he nailed it.
@@bbates9235 that is without a doubt.
Love him or hate him he IS spitting straight facts
Hahahaha God damn it
Are... Are you sure?
HaZeee no he’s not he just has a microphone
@@jrhull3 Yes. The complexities of his jargon is space-time conundrum shattering and has a tinge of absurdity which can fill your brain with kantian voxtexes utilized by aliens.
its completely improvised....mental.
"there is no passage of time, other than the sensation of the collapsation of the memories we are living in".
I had to pause to mull that one over. It's really good.
Just now did the same as you!
kinda makes sense
@@lilyhutchins9896
Makes perfect sense
"the mirror of the memories" this is important, as the universe exists in the center of a dual wave form that is infinitely repeated
It's literally word salad nonsense meant to parody faux intellectuals
I sing this daily in the shower. Funny thing is, I was singing it long before I ever heard of Reggie Watts. I guess the future really is the collapsation of time in the mirror of our memories.
+oggyreidmore this is arbitrarily sound reasoning in the reverse way. While undulating.

ROFL amazing comment. Remember, it's not if you succeed that's important. It's that you tried your hardest.
@@forgetmybelief Haha true.
When he said “Non-English” I felt that.
One Zero One lol
Only second to [gibberish]
This is what it sounds like when you’re only kinda listening to something.
The most accurate comment
It's worse when you're only kinda listening to it
LITERALLY
I was just doing that and realised i had no idea what was going om halfway through
spot on!
Not much of what he said meant anything, and I get that was the point, but when he said "Feel not as though it is a sphere we live on, rather an infinite plane which has the illusion of leading yourself back to the point of origin" it blew my mind a little.
What exactly are you trying to say?
***** That.... that's why.... "Discworld".... *mind blown*.
He's really good at "stream of consciousness" expression. He has to pull from his own subconscious thoughts, so sometimes what comes out relates to your own subconscious thoughts. And he seems fine with letting those moments happen by accident or not at all. I don't know, it's interesting to watch him go!
Michael Block I can't tell if you're being serious, or if you pulled this information out of _your_ "subconscious"
Another alias with the name "Uzumaki" one in the same if he is being himseof
I feel like I actually know what he's talking about. It's like nonsense that makes sense because of the nonsense I've already experienced
This comment is somehow one of the most amazing things I've read. Idk why , but thank you. If i ever write a story this statement gonna be in it.
Imagine quarantining with this guy..... like having a new room mate every 30-35 seconds.
Sounds like me lmao
Imagine not quarantining because you can think for yourself.
That's me! 😂
Or you can have a Roommate with D.I.D (Google it).

my guy sounds like someone put a bunch of ted talks into an AI and told it to write one
I couldn’t agree more, the accumulation of knowledge this man has is amazing
that's actually what they did why do you think his name is watts
Yes!😂
Funnily enough it's really difficult to get ChatGPT or Bingbot to produce absurd material like this. Bots of New York managed it somehow

Am I wrong, or did he just spend 10 minutes at a TED conference basically demonstrating that TED conferences are an indecipherable mass of jargon and gobbledygook? Well done, sir.
Yes. Yes, he did.
G Hawes and he did it in style.
That is some top-class trolling! Take the piss out of the whole TED Talk concept, get paid for it, plus get a standing ovation from the audience!
THiS HAD LAYERS...
Absurdity at its finest.
I went to high school with Reggie, we graduated together. He was hilarious and so talented back then and has just kept on developing his talent! A friend and I went to his house once to see him about something and I met his Mom. I had taken 4 years of French at that time, she spoke French to me and I froze. I could not even think about what she was saying! Obviously those 4 years didn't prepare me for people who actually spoke French!
😂 bro natives are crazy
When you didn't write your speech and you had to improvise on spot
Welcome to Reggie
its damn good improvisation
Did he just summarize "TED talks" ?
Yes, he did.

For those of you who don't understand this video: it's a coassimulation of a paradilactic conduction between the infinite space of an interchanging tide and an outer sun of a distant melodramatically kinetic moon.
Ohhhhhhhh!
Amen!
I see what you did there.
WHat?
I respectfully disagree. You see, what it really does is explore the etymology of epistemological dialectic, vis-a-vis the ontological non-entropic dualism of anti-relavistic audition.
Wow he is so brilliant. He uses music and humor to heal us all. I have immense respect for this man that even in these trying times he can use music to make us all smile in the most genuine of ways
May I offer you a nice egg in this trying time?

"And just remember: everything you are is more important to realize the negative space, as music is only the division of space. It is the space we are listening to, divided as such which give us the information in comparison to something other that gives us the idea of what the idea that wants to be transmitted, wants to be."
I was moved by that part.
The negative space in an image . Wabi Sabi. An image can be timeless and provoke a personal experience.
Re-worded:
And just remember: everything you are is more important (than something) in order to realize(??) the negative space, since music is only the division of space. We are listening to space, divided so as to make it a source of information. This can be compared to a certain something "x". Also, there exists an idea which wants to be transmitted, and also wants to be something "y". That something "x" gives us an idea of what "y" is.
See it's all so clear.
@@micheal2458 same.
Same! Guess we all have the same average TH-cam comment scrolling speed ;)
I come back by and watch this every once in a while to reset my brain.
The first song he preforms lives in my head and I have to come to this video whenever I think about it to cleanse my mind.
Every now and then I return to this, my favorite TED talk of all time. Reggie Watts is a treasure. Multitalented, musical, brilliant (his thesis of the music of negative spaces-iterated so simply and elegantly-alone could take up hundreds of explanatory volumes). I can't get enough.

Thanks for pointing that out!

Zu omg I didn’t hear that the first time 🤣
he said liverpool at some point too so cool
It's actually rather amazing how he can make a completely nonsensical sentence not only sound profound, but also borderline poetic- in fact, strike the "borderline" from that first sentence. This is poetry and it is amazing.
There is a human tendency to like lyrics that are ambiguous. Happens a lot with songs.
Alonso Quintero
Which to me is scary to a degree, one can feed people really awful (violent, bigoted etc) messages and make then sound nice. There are a couple of songs that I liked as far as I wasn't looking into the lyrics. So it might make sense to treat music, all music as if it's text are completely nonsensical "word salad".
SwineNahNah
You can always say you like the rythm or whatever just make it clear that the lyrics are awful or inapropiate, i have no problem saying that. And i think you will find a lot of people that agree with this view, just be sure to separate rythm from lyrics, it also works the other way around, some songs have beautiful lyrics but awful rythm.
He doesn't really say anything but he says everything
This man just deconstructed language, musical tropes, and the experience of being conscious all in 10 minutes.
FAX. YES.
snow ghost ... And then he just left it like that! Just walked away, leaving this completely deconstructed messy piled-up heap behind him, and now nobody knows how to put it all back together again
well said

Money talks
This guy is an absolute GENIUS. I love his music.
pretty stable pay tho
What's missing from my life is friends who appreciate his humor as much as I do.
Csá Viktor, vagyunk egy páran! :D Ne add fel koma
I've got you, my dude!

S F u gotta a new friend bruv
We're here dude !
He’s reenacting All the types of people that speak at the ted talks
I was thinking Alan Watts lol He sounds just like him!
His spontaneous word-salad is fascinating and brilliant and so entertaining! I love him!
I've been watching this guy for 15 minutes and I still have no idea what his real voice is.
supersmashdragon lol
supersmashdragon same! I was thinking I'll have to google him after this!
He uses it when he says "Thank you".
he just sounds like a regular guy. deep inviting voice.
He doesn't have one, but all are his real voice. ✌😎🖖
Guy: "Tomorrows another day."
Audience: *LAUGHTER*
Reggie: "My closest family members are being held hostage."
Audience: **dies of laughter**
Reggie: "Dont be afraid, this is a stick-up" **shoots 16 people on the crowd**
Audience: **Flops to the ground from laughing**
Reggie: Bazzinga
Crowd: EXPLODES
They were laughing because he set it up by saying he was going to present the findings of a research study and then said "tomorrow is another day".
EdgeLord I thought that you were making up a scenario because the audience laughs at everything he says for no reason but no, he legit said that, and the audience legit laughed. They didn't even know what they were laughing at
How someone can say so much, but say absolutely nothing at the same time, BUT at that same time everything.
This guy found a paradox to a paradox in communication.
The only thing that actually had context was the music. Even though he didn't say anything meaningful in the lyrics of the songs, they still bring across a message or a feeling.
AKA: Music is a way to express yourself outside the boundaries of the human language. This is just my theory, but I think this is the reason why music inspires him so much. Music has a way stronger force of communication than our common sorts of communcation.
But for me this means one thing: non-verbal communication is key to our world culture. It has a way bigger impact than most people think. We only have a limited amount books with limited amount of words that most people think is our base of communication. It's not about what you say with the context of the words. It's way more than that: Emotion, Voice pitch, Shape of your body, Your body language, tears, clothes, who your friends are, who your parents are, what care you drive and so on...
It really shows how a nonsensical system of orientation can override what would once be brought about by anyone else's sense of organization. When combined with the realization that however he moves his comparisons within the textures will, almost every time, convey a recurring show of speed-based broadcasting.
I know that I don't know what he knows, and that he doesn't know what I know but what I do know is that I know what he knows and he knows what I know although what he knows is not what I know and what I know is not what he knows, but we both know that what we know is known, thus knowing is knowing and not knowing, that's how you know what you know, and everyone knows. And to tell the truth,
I don't know.
tl;dr
masterm95 doesnt know.
But humanity remains to exist in this world of love and hate, even though our society keeps struggling with oppression of everything that remains to be as if there is nothing that really matters. So our lives are all part of special that will keep us around till the end of time even though its ordinary.
deeper into the unfathomable fathoms of depth to dive deep into the depths of what we fathom to deeply dive into our souls in depth.
I mean, I get it.
I'm stoned past pluto, but I *totally* get it.
It's Discordian.
I beg to differ.
I believe it is Accordian.
Hands down best TED talk ever.
I like looking into the audience and see the faces of total bewilderment.

sam hyde tedx. Enjoy.
i know i'm absurdly late but...tom thumb
Tiger Dat Exo I got this video in my recommended from watching the tom thum one
His boldness is so original and unique! It mocks labels and any attempt to define it. Very cool. A true artist.
Leave it to Reggie Watts to Make fun of TED on TED.
Robert Wharry yes he's an absurd genius. He's a social anarchist.
He isn't making fun of TED at all.
He's using pretentious language to say nothing/nonsense.
I like Ted Talks, but the amount of pretension and nonsense is pretty grating sometimes.
The way he mocks them to their faces and it's like, not even disrespectful? I love this performance so much
to the people in the comments who don't understand what this guy is talking about. You're not supposed, it's supposed to make you feel disoriented
CHEP c-137 right. It's literally in the title of the video
I keep coming back to this talk. It has to be the best TED.
Sorry to disagree
Sam Hyde 2020 Paradigm shift
@@cheeseymann Maybe the worst.

yep that how hair works, Poindexter
I was at a showing of at midnight and he either cut it or put it in a ponytail but it was disappointing he lost his fro
Dude I keep coming back for that song, he kills it on both pitch, tempo and his beats. Looped beautifully. This probably my favourite TED Talk to date
This should be called "stroke simulation"
This comment made me weak with 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Made me realize that good music really has nothing to do with meaning of lyrics
Oh dude, just wait and keep listening to bunches of different music. There are so many different ways to appreciate sound
and here i just started listening to lyrics after 30 years of ignoring them
@@zhou_sei it's a good mix between what the lyrics say and what the music means man. Not everyone gets it and that's ok. Everyone listens to music in their own way.
I heard that Kurt Cobain didn’t care about how the song sounded, he just cared about the lyrics... it goes both ways?
@@kathleen123 Cobain almost always wrote lyrics last. It's hard to say for sure what the man cared about though, he left us too soon. R.I.P. In my opinion, music is enjoyed in many different ways. There isn't an objectively "good" way to appreciate music. I think that the artists that create the music we enjoy have their own reasons for, and ways to create said music, and everyone who listens interpretes it differently. Music is beautiful in all forms, you just have to be willing to truly listen for yourself. I can appreciate one form of music over another, but the one I consider to be less pleasing to me doesn't become intrinsically "bad" because of my opinion. I can still appreciate it as music in and of itself.
Reggie: Gives a passionate and emotional speach about space time continuum and the fact we live inside a simulation
Audience: Laughs to hide the pain
Laugh is just molecules of your body moving according to already preestablished pattern, or one of thereof, as in, a family of patterns, a preconceived notion, glimmering emotion searing in your brain, YEAH, YEAH, ARE YOU FEELING IT ARE YOU FEELING IT THE MOLECULES OF AIR IN YOUR LUNGS AND YOUR TRACHEA, MOVING BACK AND FORTH AND BACK AND FORTH MUTHAFAKKAS
Or because they're still asleep because of anti-conspiracy theory propaganda that teaches people that it's wrong to do your own research.
@@tysonatkins2236 This got real
shorty just got reggied
I met him and got to hang for like a half hour like 7 years ago. Such an awesome kind person!! And INSANELY talented!!!
When will ted himself show up for one of the talks.
The final boss
Lol yea
He’s still hanging around with Tom from MySpace.
WHAT ARE YOU HIDING FROM TED? SHOW US YOUR FACE
He is MOST elusive.
I like this dude. Gets on the stage. Goes crazy and starts making random sounds. Every1 claps and he leaves the stage.
He is not making random sounds at all, the man has a degree in Jazz Studies. He is very rhythmically aware and the ability to emit musical notes without any reference tone is just genius. People underestimate musical intelligence, but it's not as easy as it seems. Music = math; the difference lies in how they think about time.
Diego Salavarría lmao 😂 he's also a performer who happens to do comedy. "His ability to Emit musical notes without any reference tone is just genius"
"Math = music; the difference lies in how they think about time"
Dude quit trying to sound brilliant, the first bit is something any singer can do and the last bit is babble.
Dude, quit trying to make me sound brilliant. I meant what I said. The ability I speak of is called "Perfect pitch" or "Absolute pitch". You can read more on that here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_pitch
I bet you only hear pleb music in 4/4 and that's why you think that music is so simple and not at all related to math or patterns.
do you have perfect pitch? ...reading up on this makes me worry that i'm listening to music without its full potential ;
Unfortunately (or fortunately) I do not. If you're born without it you have to practice A LOT to acquire it. And don't worry if you're not listening to music with its full potential (rarely people do). What you can do is look for "Ear Training Exercises" online. Practice those regularly and you'll start recognizing more patterns inside music and enjoying it more!
"Um it's a song about people...and Sasquatchs."
"and other French science, French science stuff, you know."
That's French science.
Not fringe science?
yeah he said fringe science lol
Fringe science - "study which departs significantly from mainstream theories." In other words, he was making fun of TED, and this line was a direct stab. lmao I love him.
I can listen to Reggie forever, in a finite type of way.
A finite yet partially infinite kind of way.
I feel like Ive just witnessed Hendrix reborn as a Galactic prophet from the other side.
That first song was FIRE!
This guy made me happy that true art is still alive in well in popular media.
This literally made me tear up. Didn't know you could tear up out of sheer awe. Thank you.
I just left this comment on another video. I also didn’t know it was possible to cry to from awe. That’s an amazing feeling.
Me: I’m going to have an early night tonight
My brain at 3am: 8:32
This may be my favorite comment on anything ever
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Blaue hahah adhd
I have never related so much to a comment.
yes hahahahaha
Goes to Ted talk.
Speaks straight up gibberish.
Best Ted talk ever.
It's pretty good but does it beat Nardwuar crowd surfing?
This guy clearly has a next level understanding of what makes music catchy and entertaining. He is the pure embodiment of grooviness.
I love the blank looks on many of the audience member's faces. Like they hadn't heard of him, went in thinking they would be inspired, but instead feel mocked and confused.
My Dad: *Enters the room*
"What are you watching?"
Me: "I don't know."
My Dad: "What do you mean you don't know?"
Me: "Come look..."
My Dad: *Watches the video*
Me: "Can you explain to me what that was?"
My Dad: "Nope."
Realty: dad beats him
LMAO.
Are ya winning son
painlessIRL didja beat the fortnites?
Yes exactly! What to call this genius indeed?
he is the culmination of all my last minute essays and presentations i pull all nighters for
Giving a speech in class.
Stingy YES!
the way he starts out with languages, moves to music, then goes back to English (as a language, and touches on physics + science!)! *beautiful*
I feel sorry for the guy who had to make closed captions for this. LOL
+stratikeo machine-generated automatic captions
+MalkolmMuharem no, it's not automatic caption.
+stratikeo "non english"
+stratikeo point well taken!
+stratikeo had to turn them on after I read that.
I am curious how many people in the audience didn't know who this was, and therefore were completely unprepared.
Can anyone truly be prepared for Reggie?
I think the message is clear : "Express yourself, be yourself, watch yourself but never be afraid"
