Imagine if you came to work high on this day
-
Sounds like every politician ever
-
I'm not a fan of the gibberish part, but his opening of using real words for nonsensical sentences was great. That, to me, is the true double-talk.
-
This is genius. It's the epitome of mundane argument avoidance.
-
This man hits the middle option on autocorrect in real life
-
Ya know, if I was there, I might actually be kinda worried that he was having a stroke...
-
I love double-talk...Danny Kaye and Sid Caesar were the masters of sounding fluent in any language when they were just faking...and you, Sir, are equally astonishing!

The girl at 2:15 was like "damn straight!!!"

OMG!! What a great concept. Verbal Perception Manipulation. I think I know how to handle those collection calls I get.

OMG this takes me back! When I was a young man, I bussed tables in a beach hotel restaurant. Our F&B manager was am old bar owner from back in Baltimore and he could "double talk" like a champ. We would have banquets and conventions and such, and Phil, the F&B manager, would be introduced as a keynote speaker. They would cook up all these bogus credentials. If it was lawyers, he'd be professor emeritus Georgetown Law School, if it was doctors, he'd be retired chief of surgeons at Johns Hopkins, fellow at the National Institute of Health, whatever. Then he would double talk the crowd, just like this, for five minutes, then break out into totally off color "blue" stand up comedy. It was high art!

Sounds like this undergrad psychology class I took in college.
-
I used to be dyslexic but God thank not more ever am I any.

This man is genius ! I literally studied Durwood Fincher (Mr Doubletalk) until I could do some of what he does. I conducted interviews for our fire dept, asking hopeful applicants questions they could NOT understand. Watching them squirm and fake through it was priceless (and videoed). Then, they were let off the hook and told they had passed. Great fun.

My brain refused to focus on it very long, lol

He's the definition of overusing the keyboard prediction bar.
-
He makes perfect sense!!! I also just escaped from Bellevue Hospital.
-
Can't say I've ever heard someone talk like that. Very interesting.
-
I agree it totally nullifies any conversation. I myself liked to talk about my work and i've had to practice talking about it for any person, on any level, and make it understandable. It's weird how there's a market for learning how to speak the exact opposite way.

This is nuts. Mr. King is a master. I first encountered double-talk about 1964 in a book about language. There was a short section about Al Kelly with one of his routines that began: "I need not credish nor elongate upon the high purposes of our crombits, which have so unselfishly craded moslamit the fandon of human kindness..." I have carried this with me all this time.

That is pure comedy🤣Take that on the road man!
