    I hate PowerPoint slides get jammed with too much text! At the recent IT conference we had, there were few guys that used slides that had way too many text clusted together.

    I'm glad I learned how to create a good PowerPoint in college!

    Co-sign. On top of that, it was very corny. I'm shocked that so many people were laughing. A Gimmick Comic at his best!

    Being a POWER PowerPoint user for a marketing research company, that was pretty damn funny.

    Thanks Swoly-D, nice break in my day.

    Having sat through many power point presentations, I thought that was very funny. Unfortunately, he is only exaggerating a little bit. Thats what makes it funny.

    This had potential, but I don't think he pulled it off.

    It was like watching Stromile Swifft playing basketball.

    that was hillarious, totally related to people who put every word they say in the slide, that's so irritating
