Public speaking isn't for everyone. Actually, 75% of adults fear public speaking, whether they have prepared funny presentations for their projects or just trying to convince their parents to get a cat. Hence, rather than face their audience for a presentation, some people would rather spill hot coffee on themselves to make a quick exit.
Presentations on PowerPoint are helpful for people who struggle with public speaking. It’s been for decades on the market, and it’s one of the most popular software to ease public speaking worldwide. That’s probably why 89% of people still choose PowerPoint for their presentations. Still, 90% of the presentation anxiety comes from the lack of preparation. Maybe that’s why Steve Jobs used to take two days to prepare a presentation.
Creativity is a problem-solving skill in these days of puns and jokes. Presentation memes are always smart to say things indirectly in funny PowerPoints. Nowadays, you can let your PowerPoint presentation do the talking for you, and experts confirm it with their public statements on LinkedIn.

Obviously whoever wrote the caption has never bathed a cat.....it can be life threatening
I really need to be there, last time i bathed my cat i looked like i jumped over a barbed wire fence.naked.while being chased by a squad of ninja bees.with swords and torches.
Bathing a cat is a three hour process. Ten minutes is futilely wetting the animal and failing to clean it. The rest is a lot of two-sided annoyance, cleaning the totally flooded bathroom, cleaning your sweaty and bloodied self, and putting disinfectant on the scratches.
next slide: you don't....you don't ever bathe a cat. What you you have a death wish or something?
The credit on the screen is wrong. It should say, "Staring Olive as the wet, shrieking, demonic cat from hell".
Looks like those 'How To' presentations they make you do in basic Public Speaking classes in college/high school.
Funny Slide From One Of My International Law Lecturers
Me when the teacher tells me that the slide must have 13-15 slides and even with the first slide with the name of the project and the second slide with the main chapter's titles, I'm still having 11 pages...
Wait, why did I bother with it again? Oh well, next slide please!
How Do You Make a Catchy Presentation?
Most audiences prefer to engage with funny presentations instead of full slides with bullet lists. They need only 5 seconds to determine whether the speaker is charismatic. So you have 5 seconds to take on the power pose and make a proper first impression, just like our title. If a title, a joke, or a question makes you click online, that’s the hook you need to find and make your audience click with your first slide.
SOAP insights confirm that an effective presentation happens thanks to verbal communication, which is your tone of voice (38%), and non-verbal communication (55%). Thus, charts, memes, puns, fun facts, and storytelling are your best “attention-grabbing weapons”. The actual content attracts about 7% (probably just a jury of shareholders or professors evaluating school projects).
79% of people think presentation time only adds a few boring minutes. Just delivering insights will make your presentation fall into that category. The audience is looking, reading, and listening to you. So make sure to provide charts and jokes for attractive, funny PowerPoint slides to attract their senses till the last minute. You can also add your signature to ensure the copyrights of your innovative solutions to the topic.
Nail a catchy presentation with these quick tips:
- Grab attention with the hook. It can be a statement, a question, or a meme.
- Use engaging visuals like charts and images. Less text makes more impact.
- Practice storytelling. Everyone loves a good story, especially if it’s relatable.
- Try to apply interactive questions. Involve your audience and keep them hooked.
- Reveal your hilarious side in your slides, because humour wins hearts easily.
- Time feels longer in presentations, so keep the message clear, and simple.
- Practice, practice, practice. Rehearsing helps you gain confidence, which is the key.

- Crimes of Europe - Wonders of Rome Empire. - Wonders of Bizazium Empire - Wonders of Mongolian Empire - Wonders of Mayan Empire - Wonders of Inca Empire - Wonders of China Empire - Wonders of Muslim Empire - Wonders of Russian Empire The only crime: to be ashamed of your own history and culture.
Ok guys, I think from the presentation we can safely assume that this girl is of south asian heritage and that's why she's passionate on the subject. Telling her to look at the good thinks Europeans did is like telling Europeans to look at the good things Hitler did; it doesn't really help anyone. Let's just appreciate the fact she admits she is bitter and did add some humour to what looks like an interesting presentation and move on.
Just brief, guys! Reminds me of a teacher who says," ok guys, so don't worry this will be very brief" then blabbers on for half the lesson while we're just sat there most of us No Idea what on earth she is talking about
Except if she'd really studied history, she'd realize every single country, has screwed over another one, or controlled another at one point in their history.

This Kid Should Have An A For This Masterpiece
Actually, this is exactly what they're supposed to be learning NOT to do. It's a science class FFS. Never get up in front of a group of people and tell them things if you can't back up your facts. You knew this for ages but don't know where from? Fine, look it up anyway. First, to make sure you haven't been full of BS for 10 years, and second, to give your audience a start if they wish to do their own studies (or to fact-check you). This is honestly not A-material, despite what a couple of you think. We revere Darwin over Wallace because, although both presented a similarly described process, only one of them exhaustively listed both the arguments for and the arguments AGAINST his thesis. This slide is funny, but it's a funny fail not a funny triumph.

Individual racism - the belief of superiority of one race over another, the stereotyping of any race in any way.

The world is not America and the world does not run off American gender studies theories (racim = prejudice + power was created by a WHITE woman) or American Critical Race Theory.
