Ducks Go Quack, Chickens Say Cluck - Onion Talks - Ep. 3
The Onion
An Onion Talks satire in which a faux animal behaviorist gives a pompous TED-style talk about ducks quacking and chickens clucking. It parodies the vacuous style of TED talks.
HN uses it as shorthand for the vapidness of TED talks and for content that says very little in a lot of words.
