Yes there is "intelligent" humour at TED not just mega science lectures. heh learn to love both or you'll not live to happy of a life. You gotta both have fun and be serious in life to enjoy it.

Sorry to put my opinion so bluntly earlier. Obviously other people enjoyed it. It just wasn't exactly my cup of tea. This is only an opinion so don't hate me, but I felt that his performance wasn't very entertaining or funny. I think there are definitely better examples of "intelligent" humor at TED. Anyhow, now I know for next time to not say anything if I don't have anything good to say.

I totally agree but whoever created this channel should have known what they'd get posting this on youtube. The cream of the crop is a rarity here as far as intelligence in responses.

I've always hated this guy, talking about macintosh's like they're something new. This song adds a new dimension to my disliking.

Really inspiring. Major influence in my artwork. Thanks so much.
