The onion has some good TED satires:

I think TED has to do with what I observe happens to corporate, startup, and ya, religious cultures that tend to take themselves a bit too seriously and live in an echo chamber too long.

I would totally pay for inspiring tech talks with sarcastic John Oliver style deliveries. A bit of cynicism and sarcasm goes a long way in making something seem real to me.



IMO the best thing the people from Onion have done since this genius piece http://www.theonion.com/articles/al-gore-places-infant-son-i...
