My favorite TedTalk - James Veitch

in #life7 years ago (edited)

I used to watch TedTalks all the time, and one of my favorite presenters is James Veitch. He has been on a few times, and it's well worth watching all of them.

They both are on the same topic, responding to spam emails. His image, delivery, and humor all come together perfectly as he absolutely wrecks a spammer at their own game.

This is his first presentation and probably my favorite. He follows it up with a fantastic sequel and wraps it up with with a third presentation.

This is what happens when you reply to spam email

He started a youtube channel but doesn't post all that often, but he is a really funny guy. He also has a lot of short videos you can find on youtube on different scam emails he responded to, just look for his Scamalot series.

Yes! James Veitch is an amazing presenter! His rubber duck video on YouTube is hilarious too. Very sad that he doesn't upload more; I think he would become very popular.

I love that video

It was great. I was expecting a rubber duck to fill the whole flat and not just the bathroom. haha

Agreed. He said he's going to try to be a "proper" YouTuber. If he sets his mind to it, he can make his channel get huge. He can make anything seem hilarious.

That makes sense. I guess he's choosing quality over quantity. It's a big difference from YouTubers that make quick edits in order to get videos published.

Yes, and every time he uploads, I'm all like "ooh, this is gonna be a good laugh!"

I've literally learned more from Ted Talks than knowledge gained in my paid college classes bahahaha real talk. Great share, bud!!

OMG I love this guy! I subbed to his YouTube channel too. This is EPIC.

Have you seen his talk about the text message with the window removal thing?

This guy trolls the trolls and knows how to do it well, in a hilarious manner, and still have it be done with class. He cracks me up.

Lovely Post.

Really nice Ted talk you had posted here and he is really funny.

Yeah I found him a couple of months ago and he's hillarious. I need to show this to my wife when I get home.

Haha that chart is amazing in the first video. (Nice profile picture by the way, got to love Mal)
