The Onion · Comedy · 3 min · 2012 · YouTube title: Ducks Go Quack, Chickens Say Cluck - Onion Talks - Ep. 3
Why it's here

HN uses it as shorthand for the vapidness of TED talks and for content that says very little in a lot of words.

What it covers

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.
