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.

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.
When those crimes are truly, truly repaired, then we can stop being ashamed of the failings of our culture and history. Not any time before, or we'll repeat them.
Load More Replies...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.
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.
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
Pretty certain it was used here as, "I could actually go on for a whole lot longer".
Load More Replies...I think the USA has been in peace less than 10 years in all its history... Let's share the blame...
While that is true, that erases in no way anything Europe has done. Hell, Europe CAUSED the United States, that could almost be considered a crime in itself considering the genocide of First Nations, slavery...
Load More Replies...Europe committed no crimes ever. The ruling elite and warlords did. I am not taking responsibility for the evil acts of another, ever.
Will you take responsibility for furthering evil by standing by and saying it's not your fault, rather than acting against it? All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. Acting against it includes recognizing that a society does have a responsibility in the choices made by its leaders. It's not a personal responsibility necessarily - no one is saying you went and participated in genocide after all. But when everyone just turns around and says, "It's not my fault", the people whose fault it is get to do their evil unimpeded.

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.

It's not the professor's fault where your next class is. If he runs over-time and you've got to leave, you could have left. Be classy about it. If he looks, give him a polite wave. Instead, you took extra time (which you claimed not to have enough of) and spent it complaining about your helplessness.

This happened in my school ... My civics teacher had to give a presentation , and the first slide had two girls twerking ... And we , the students were really young

If you think you need a party hat, a "funny" slide or any other gimmick to pass a presentation, then you're probably going to fail anyway.
