lol the part where he says he never went to journalism school, never took a class on writing, and never took a class on political science yet still became a political reporter explains so much about not only Buzzfeed's standards but also his own plagiarism
Met this dude at a house party in DC in 2010. Dude literally talked about himself for 3hours straight and would get furious when other people around him would try and change the subject
Does he have an audience of any worth? His latest video only has 500 views. Not to say that matters too much, but his crowd that actually absorb his content is extremely small compare to even small-time political youtubers that are in their 20s

It's wild. I never knew benny did a ted talk. I only know him from his youtube show now. Very interesting stuff, always love seeing peoples roots and where they come from. Also good to see Benny is similar today as he was then. I appreciate your hard work man, thanks for the news now and the ted talks then.
No disrespect, but this sounds more like a motivational speaker addressing a kindergarten class than it does a Ted Talk. Now playing the "Devil's advocate"... he does make a good point by pointing out the difficulty in engaging the post-boomer generations (i.e. our youth and young adults) in politics.
I have to imagine the only reason these students showed up is because they were getting extra credit. I feel bad for any Poli Sci professor that accepted student's attendance to this.
Now I see why he plagiarizes. He's absolutely god awful at this. That was bad. Ted WTF? Are you financially strapped? Was this a dare? Does Benny have a komoromat tape on you, Ted?
Being ADD can be a super power if one knows how to harness it. I taught myself how to make jewelry, cold process soap, soy melts, etc... when I get my mind set to learn something, hyperfocus until learning a new skill. There are two down sides. Once I've conquered the skill it gets boring and I move on. The other is that if I'm not interested in something, there is a mental block and I can't learn it such as advanced maths.
*Scrolls through poorly photoshopped photos of Joe Biden and pulls up a regular picture of biden with “toothless biker” lady Benny who drastically overestimated his graphic design skills: “guys this is a real photo of Joe Biden, this is not photoshopped!” Me: is that not already painfully obvious for anyone who can see?
He's a liar. It says under the video that he got his degree in psychology. On his LInkedin page it says he got his degree in psychology too. I'd bet if you could verify his education he either didn't go to the University of Iowa or he dropped out.
Anyone really can have their own Ted Talk.
Tedx specifically is literally pay-to-play, where anyone with a pulse and the right amount of money can get a spot.

For real?!! That's crazy! I was hoping he was actually cool....
You sound like a liar.
He plagiarized everything in his career as a journalist except this talk it seems. I believe this one is totally original.

Oh, he's a journalist? Gee that's so surprising. A profession that usually demands so much respect nowadays.
His magnum opus, truly outstanding.
@@Kamourii He used to be. He got fired.
Plagiarized? Apparently I have some research to do from all these comments I'm seeing
Damn. I thought Vic Berger was exaggerating it. It's actually even more cringey than I expected.

I thought he was gonna say "Americuh" so this was a pleasant surprise
Oh my God this guy is killing any hope I once had for humanity. He learned how to do radio voice and we are all worse off for it.

Ahaha, a Ben Russell spotted in the wild?!? I was just watching gameygame!
Came here from The Berg too
Vic berger has sent us to pump these numbers up
When the Vic Berger edit is actually less cringe than the original.
Bro literally all he does is praise himself and try to keep people interested with bad memes from 2009.
“98.71345% of science is failure” maybe this speech is science after all
The dumbest part of a truly moronic speech.
God-tier joke
I was thinking that this dude identified himself as science
Jesus Christ, this is hands down one of the worst Ted talks in history.
The Ghislaine Maxwell TED Talk still holds place for the worse TED Talk IMO. This one did pack a lot of hurt, though.
TEDx*
Was this filmed before or after he got fired for plagiarizing all his articles?
Before
these memes were outdated even in 2013
I like to think he strategically laid cringe bait throughout his presentation to keep the audience engaged.
For real. Suddenly all of the Buzzfeed listicles with compressed old meme gifs make sense, if this guy was at the helm.
I had to come and confirm how light Vic's touch was on this one.
Thanks for inviting me into the laboratory, guy...
-New Scientist
Same here.
oh my god it was unedited
🤣🤣🤣
Where did he plagiarized this from ?
That felt like an insult to knowledge.
It’s nice to know that this guy didn’t just make a presentation just on 2012 memes and left
Lol

He had just graduated when he gave this talk, which only makes me question TED more.
It's TedX. They paid for this event and put it up themselves.
They'll let literally anyone give a presentation.
I think it was University Iowa who had him talk
It was a TEDx event which means it was independently organized, not officially by TED
