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.

You might not have that time, so at Bored Panda, we decided to help you by putting together a list of people who have tried and sometimes failed with their funny presentation ideas. Though their success levels vary, we are sure you’ll learn what to add and what to avoid when preparing a list of fun slideshow ideas with humor and funny quotes.

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. 

ADVERTISEMENT

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.

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.
