This absurd parody proves that all TED Talks really do sound the same

It's not just you: A lot of TED Talks sound the same.

Comedian and writer Keaton Patti — who imagined what a White House press briefing written by a bot might sound like — just shared a new imagined bot script, this time parodying the language of lofty TED Talks.

The "visibly clothed" TED TALKER opens the bizarrely inspirational lecture — given in a "place where you can talk" — with an anecdote about his or her grandfather, who was "paid for for being old." 

"He told me there's just enough plastic in the ocean for someone to marry," the TED TALKER states. "But we're almost out of time." The audience doesn't care much about the actual TED Talk, but are insistent that they be shown graphs.

I forced a bot to watch over 1,000 hours of TED Talks and then asked it to write a TED Talk of its own. Here is the first page. pic.twitter.com/FpGz25q9zc

"The crowd likes the graph since it is a graph and they like graphs for the reasons they have," the script reads. Honestly, how relatable. 

When the plastic from the ocean breaks into the room, the crowd "waits to see if it this will somehow turn into a graph." 

Patti even mocked up a very scientific graph for our enjoyment.

Patti jokes that bots write these scripts after watching 1,000 hours of content. While they're actually just delightful parodies, people really love them.

I'm disturbed by just how compelling this was...if it was a book, I would have kept reading straight through and the scary part is that I'm not sure why....

Even the official TED Talks account found it "truly inspiring."

DJ Rhetorik & I ❤️

A preview of an interview I did with @djrhetorik - he was really fun to talk to, and I've been working on the concept for this interview for months. I really wanted to do something different because I felt like my old style was getting a little stale. I like how this came out. Interview later this week on DSC. Link to my channel is in my bio. #art #drawing #animation #djrhetorik

Worked with @djrhetorik to illustrate some dope pins for his "More Than Meets The Eye" Pin Pack depicting Shia LaBeouf, DJ Khaled, and the man himself -- DJ Rhetorik! Check out his page for the full manifesto behind this concept and buy the pins from these illustrations while they're hot. Only 100 packs made! #rattpack #djrhetorik #logic #theincredibletruestory

One time for talented people who are just as genuine & humble in person as they seem. These two make for great conversation & an all around good time :) Nice finally meeting y'all, thanks for a great two days. See you in NY! #Rhetor6ix #UnderPressureTour #RattPack #DJRhetorik #6ix
