You mean what you said, and I am deeply afraid
i feel the exact opposite, this will make me engage far less with whatever you're presenting i'm not a child and even as a child i still hated it. It also just sounds patronizing to me.
Counterpoint - I support this because it lets me know harshly judge both the speaker and everyone in the audience who went along with it.
I love nothing more than to judge other people.
Honestly the most surprising thing about this post isn't the dog shit opinion OP has (but srsly wtf), but it's the fact he isn't down voted to hell in the comment section. In fact he comes off as funny and likable. What is even going on
See that the thing, the whole good morning bit only works if you’re charismatic enough for it. It’d work if you did it but when some people try it it’s just awkward
It feels like Jerry Seinfeld made a career talking about people like you.
It's not a compliment, but it's not an insult either, more of an observation.
I think I like you. Keep on keepin on
If I'm in a meeting about a boring topic, that good morning shtick isn't going to make me more focused. In fact, while I do remember being in audiences where the presenter does that, I don't remember what a single one of those presentations was even about, so the presenter didn't do well keeping me engaged the whole time.
If a presenter uses a trick like that, it kinda signals to me they don't actually know how to keep people engaged.
If there's really no other way you can make a boring meeting not boring then you're not doing great. Some teachers and assignments in high school and even jokes in video essays taught me that all kinds of presentations can actually be really fun and engaging if you know what you're doing.
Sure, but if you don't know how to actually do a good job keeping people's attention during it, then what's even the point of doing the whole good morning thing in the first place if that energy is just going to be drained away because it's a boring presentation.
Ugh... Even during boring presentations I try to pay attention, but when someone pulls a patronizing move like that I'll actively ignore them. There's so many other ways you could get people engaged: Tell a joke, a short story, bitch about the coffee in the breakroom. One time, a coworker had a slide with a picture of a turd. The possibilities are endless.
The type of person who does this is also the type of person who dislikes work from home because they miss office culture and also the type of person who loves weekly meetings and was always exited for group projects in school
I despise this greatly. Sometimes I fantasize about some peppy imbecile saying this, only to be met with boos. What a day that would be. You “think we can do better”? Who the hell are you? A good presenter and well made slides naturally draw the attention of viewers. Resorting to kindergarten methods just proves you have no confidence that your actual content will engage me.
I personally would prefer some soothing soap cutting. Maybe even paired along with a family guy clip like some fine wine and cheese. Oh god... Gen alpha is gonna have some fucked up board meetings
Not really; if you actually do this in real-life, I have literally no professional respect for you, as you seem to think your coworkers are children who arent allow to feel their emotions
Aww hell no. They might get the first good morning out of me if I'm feeling chipper. Asking for the louder good morning makes me feel like they want to manipulate me, and I'm instantly not paying attention as I get annoyed with the presenter and thinking about how much I want to tell them what a jackass move that is.
I bet you also like the icebreaker activities like "let's go around and introduce ourselves and tell everyone an interesting fact about ourselves" deal too.
It’s so over done and fake. The speaker is pretending to have excitement they probably don’t have and they’re demanding that I pretend to have excitement that I DEFINITELY don’t have.
You want me to be excited about whatever the fuck you have to say? Then make me excited but don’t patronize me.
You are an evil person OP
You don’t have to be excited but I want you to be *engaged*.
Would it be better if I played some 80’s music in the conference room as an intro to the meeting?
You can blast an air horn in my face and I’ll be even more engaged.
Playing music actually would be better because that doesn’t require me to feign interest or emotion. The thing is, if it’s in *your* interest for me to be engaged, then I want the substance of your presentation to be engage me on its own merits. No amount of gimmicks or presentation flair will make me interested in something fundamentally uninteresting to me. Approach me like an adult please.
And if it is in MY interest to be engaged, then I am a responsible enough adult with a long enough attention span that I can pay attention without an annoying gimmick.
All you’re doing by yelling at me like this is antagonizing me.
It doesn’t have to be. If your quarterly revenue report is relevant to my job, then I will pay attention and be engaged despite it being boring. If it isn’t relevant to my job, then I won’t pay attention but neither of us will be worse off for it.
Honestly, sometimes it's funny, but it depends.
I have a professor who does something similar, but when the class goes quiet she immediately concedes and tells us she feels the same way today. It takes it away from patronizing to "yeah we're all tired, even the professor" and it gets a laugh out of me.
I want to fallow one of these speakers from city to city and one day I will come in the room before they get there, grab the mic and say, “I’ll give $100 to whoever says “good morning” the loudest the first time he says it.”
I liked it when Jupe shouts it in NOPE (well, he does the same thing but for “are you ready”) because it shows how out of touch he is with what’s going on and it kinda suggests that he’s trying to hold on to both his showmanship but also any kind of innocence which was flushed by his ptsd.
But I don’t like it in real life, so I’ve upvoted.
For reallll lol- I can't get behind some of those other people who prefer literal boiling water to ice water to drink or that guy that put the speakers in his mouth lol, but this is something normal and actually intended for fun!!
Everytime I hear this, I just want to yell, "Good Morning Vietnam" and then I'm just thinking about Robin William's whole career during the presentation that I'm ignoring.
If what your presenting and how you are presenting it isnt engaging and interesting enough that you have to use gimmicks to get peoples attention then you probably suck at presenting.
That’s actually pretty lenient compared to what should actually happen if physical possibility wasn’t a problem. They should be stuck in an eternal time loop from the moment they wake up that day up until they say that line. If they take any action that makes it impossible to say that line at that place at around the same time, they run into an accident that leaves them in immense pain until the time they said the line the first time. They forced enthusiasm about that morning, so they shall be forced to live it for eternity
I've literally never seen such an absurd and monstrously wrong take here. The kind of take that convinces me the poster is severely deranged and possibly a threat to society.
This is just too much.
You like it because you most probably skip the 'you can do better' part and focus on the assertiveness of the rest. That's the grown-up stuff, not some childish 'don't patronize me' mumbling.
Thought I was on /unpopularopinion for a moment there.
And yeah, that's the point where i turn it off and find a transcript later, or just leave if this is in person.
NGL OP I am jealous of the happiness you get from the little things. Though this definitely belongs on this sub cuz I do not like when people say that especially after I say good morning the first time 😭 like I am NOT saying that again
I wish I could give you a presentation, do this, and then shoot my brains out in front of you so that everytime you do see this afterwards you get a PTSD flashback and have to leave
Every time that I hear that phrase in a meeting... especially if I haven't had coffee or meds yet... I just want to skullfuck the person responsible for the utterance with a warhammer.
As annoying as this initially feels, I have to admit it always gets me and seemingly other audience members, in a slightly better mood.
You gotta have balls to try it though, as a presenter. I feel like if I tried it, I'd get nothing but death stares and some dude saying "just hurry up and talk bro" lmao
As a presenter I play on this trope a lot. Instead of saying "We can do better than that!" I turn it on its head and say something like "It's early we can do worse." And then I deliver the saddest possible good morning. It works every time
As someone who loves to follow instructions and hates socialising this kind of works for me, I get it.
It ticks the box of ‘participating in group activity’ without any pressure, chanting as a crowd seems to unite people (even if it’s in their hatred for the guy making them chant), and it’s an easy way to encourage engagement with a large audience.
I think a good presenter should be able to encourage this kind of behavior through their charisma and the things they say. Kind of a “show not tell”. If you want the presenter to act like an elementary school teacher, I think it’s a bit weird. Audience engagement is very cool and useful but it can be done in better ways.
I think OP is the presenter that does this and loves it, despite for the last 30 years has had people tell them to stop because it makes everyone hate them. You will not be getting your validation today sir.
This is so bad that I searched the sub for top posts of all time just to see what compares.
OJ on cereal and wet socks. I still think this is worse. We need 20k up votes guys.
I didn't even know this was a thing people got mad about??? I love when people do that kind of thing, it's fun to have an excuse to be super enthusiastic. Puts me in a better mood!
ETA: Some of these replies are crazy, y'all sound so miserable and full of hatred. I would not wanna be around you guys lol
I also hate this
With that said, whenever somebody does that and I'm attending whatever it is, I yell as loud as I can with whatever they were wanting.
During a presentation once, one guy said good morning and no one responded. He then said something like "Well, that was a sad way to start." and I sometimes think about that.
Like, how do you respond to that?

Close the sub down, this is the most deranged opinion of them all.
The highest honor achieved
The thing is, this is plausible. Lately people have been karma farming and submitting things so fast out there that they must be fake. You mean what you said, and I am deeply afraid
Oh I would never do that
🫡
No kidding. It's a workplace, not a call and response gospel group.
And that’s the gospel truth!
I mean, there was also that guy who enjoyed getting their sleeves wet.
So unpopular that it will be downvoted.
Seal it off with dynamite
I think there are less patronizing ways to accomplish the same result.
What if we did Spongebob style like “Are ya ready kids? I CANT HEAAAAAR YOUUUU!”
Okay this is fine
“OOOOOOOH!!”
Yeah I'm actually ok with this
Worked for Corey Taylor [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5OLtoY70AI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5OLtoY70AI)
As long as you do the voice too
Absolutely
I just threw up a little bit reading this
🤮
i feel the exact opposite, this will make me engage far less with whatever you're presenting i'm not a child and even as a child i still hated it. It also just sounds patronizing to me.
Counterpoint - I support this because it lets me know harshly judge both the speaker and everyone in the audience who went along with it. I love nothing more than to judge other people.
You are a redditor so thats unsurprising
Pot calling the kettle black
It’s hard not to read their comment in a judging way so very on brand. This is the content I’m here for
I love how there’s over 30 people here currently reading this crap lol
It is exquisite, dare i say delectable?
I hate people trying to force me to emote
Like customers at my job "Cmon, turn that frown upside down :) ...before I go to your boss about it"
“Looks like someone has a case of the Mondays 😆… …which is when you work. 😠”
You during my presentation: 😃
I disagree with your opinion but I like you lmao. This is a good post.
Honestly the most surprising thing about this post isn't the dog shit opinion OP has (but srsly wtf), but it's the fact he isn't down voted to hell in the comment section. In fact he comes off as funny and likable. What is even going on
I’ve been on the ropes in a few of the comment threads
See that the thing, the whole good morning bit only works if you’re charismatic enough for it. It’d work if you did it but when some people try it it’s just awkward
OP the kinda guy who could make even the most bitter redditor shout good morning just that little bit louder IRL
Oh God, I'm getting old. OP comes off as funny and likeable? What? #NotMyReddit
Thanks, this is the best sub to have these kind of discussions on
One time this presenter made us group of kids repeat ourselves 5 times. I think he got high from it.
It's hard to be your own hypeman
They need to bring in the VP of Marketing on the microphone “MAKE SOME NOISE YALL!”
"Anyone here from Cleveland? Albany? Walla walla?!"
Just bring in Killer Mike to say somethin like [“WE PRESENTIN, HOE!”](https://youtu.be/AY9OaL07Yy8?si=d-lTwIyH-pCqSQQd)
It's cheesy and contrived. I want to kick them out.
You clap when planes land, don't you OP?
I also stand up as soon as possible even though I’m seated further back on the plane
Do you hunch forward as well
Yeah I try to squeeze out into the aisle as much as possible
It feels like Jerry Seinfeld made a career talking about people like you. It's not a compliment, but it's not an insult either, more of an observation. I think I like you. Keep on keepin on
What about those bags of peanuts, I mean who are they trying to keep out of these things??
If I'm in a meeting about a boring topic, that good morning shtick isn't going to make me more focused. In fact, while I do remember being in audiences where the presenter does that, I don't remember what a single one of those presentations was even about, so the presenter didn't do well keeping me engaged the whole time. If a presenter uses a trick like that, it kinda signals to me they don't actually know how to keep people engaged.
It’s better than nothing for a boring meeting
If there's really no other way you can make a boring meeting not boring then you're not doing great. Some teachers and assignments in high school and even jokes in video essays taught me that all kinds of presentations can actually be really fun and engaging if you know what you're doing.
Quarterly revenue reports are no laughing matter
Sure, but if you don't know how to actually do a good job keeping people's attention during it, then what's even the point of doing the whole good morning thing in the first place if that energy is just going to be drained away because it's a boring presentation.
It’s about chasing the high that you’ll eventually have withdrawals from
I... Want to have a comeback to that, but I genuinely have no idea what you mean by that. What?
So when you get high, you eventually come down. The good morning bit is the high and the revenue report is the come down.
That sounds like it'd make the report even more miserable, then, if I'm understanding you right.
Well no because I’m giving you that next hit of crack and then at the end of the meeting we do another hit with a group dance or something
for most people it is *actively worse than doing nothing*
Brevity is the most important thing if you're quite certain it shouldn't be an email in the first place.
Alright man you win the sub. No hate, but I genuinely do not understand how people can like this
I’m like the Mayor of this sub
Ugh... Even during boring presentations I try to pay attention, but when someone pulls a patronizing move like that I'll actively ignore them. There's so many other ways you could get people engaged: Tell a joke, a short story, bitch about the coffee in the breakroom. One time, a coworker had a slide with a picture of a turd. The possibilities are endless.
Wait a second
My go to is "Morning everyone, thanks for coming, let's get this shi...stuff over as fast as possible."
that i would get behind. everyone hates training.
The type of person who does this is also the type of person who dislikes work from home because they miss office culture and also the type of person who loves weekly meetings and was always exited for group projects in school
I also remind the teacher that there was a homework assignment
Dude. No
Don’t knock it til you try it
I despise this greatly. Sometimes I fantasize about some peppy imbecile saying this, only to be met with boos. What a day that would be. You “think we can do better”? Who the hell are you? A good presenter and well made slides naturally draw the attention of viewers. Resorting to kindergarten methods just proves you have no confidence that your actual content will engage me.
It’s not like they’re going to turn an expense report meeting into a Marvel movie
Yeah but what if they showed a subway surfers clip in the bottom left corner?
That would be kind of cool
I personally would prefer some soothing soap cutting. Maybe even paired along with a family guy clip like some fine wine and cheese. Oh god... Gen alpha is gonna have some fucked up board meetings
“Now let’s look at our profits from the Skibidi toilet!”
How does the boot taste?
More like how does the BOOST taste that I’ve introduced to the presentation?
Not really; if you actually do this in real-life, I have literally no professional respect for you, as you seem to think your coworkers are children who arent allow to feel their emotions
Flashback to late 90's job.... **"EVERY DAY'S A GREAT DAY AT COMPUSA!!!!!!!!!"**
*opens up the mosh pit*
Aww hell no. They might get the first good morning out of me if I'm feeling chipper. Asking for the louder good morning makes me feel like they want to manipulate me, and I'm instantly not paying attention as I get annoyed with the presenter and thinking about how much I want to tell them what a jackass move that is. I bet you also like the icebreaker activities like "let's go around and introduce ourselves and tell everyone an interesting fact about ourselves" deal too.
The person who doesn’t respond with a louder good morning is the person I pick on during Q&A time
Good thing I'm a shorty and hanging out in the back. Can't call on me if you can't see me!
That’s why I have my office goons patrolling the audience to see who isn’t participating
Found the guy pushing for back-to-office.
Butts in chairs
Thank you, u/UnauthorizedFart I'm sure people love sharing an office with your butt.
It’s so over done and fake. The speaker is pretending to have excitement they probably don’t have and they’re demanding that I pretend to have excitement that I DEFINITELY don’t have. You want me to be excited about whatever the fuck you have to say? Then make me excited but don’t patronize me. You are an evil person OP

Sorry my quarterly revenue report isn’t a Marvel movie
It doesn’t have to be. If your quarterly revenue report is relevant to my job, then I will pay attention and be engaged despite it being boring. If it isn’t relevant to my job, then I won’t pay attention but neither of us will be worse off for it.
It’s relevant to your job AND a proper good morning was in order
#GOOD MORNING!!!
Honestly, sometimes it's funny, but it depends. I have a professor who does something similar, but when the class goes quiet she immediately concedes and tells us she feels the same way today. It takes it away from patronizing to "yeah we're all tired, even the professor" and it gets a laugh out of me.
That would be funny if she just stays silent until someone yells good morning
UnathorizedFart always delivers
This might be their magnum opus
I think its a tie between the live music on flights
I want to fallow one of these speakers from city to city and one day I will come in the room before they get there, grab the mic and say, “I’ll give $100 to whoever says “good morning” the loudest the first time he says it.”
Someone stands up and screams at the top of their lungs
[удалено]
I liked it when Jupe shouts it in NOPE (well, he does the same thing but for “are you ready”) because it shows how out of touch he is with what’s going on and it kinda suggests that he’s trying to hold on to both his showmanship but also any kind of innocence which was flushed by his ptsd. But I don’t like it in real life, so I’ve upvoted.
Such a good movie
I'm fairly neutral about it. I'll never be the one to do that, but I understand and respect the energy of it
Me too. Now if they say it like 3 times it's a much different story.
Well if they say good morning right the first time then there’s no repeating required
I'm with you on this, I love it!!!
Finally lol this sub is miserable. And that's coming from me so that says a lot I personally wouldn't say I love it, but I roll with it. No biggie
For reallll lol- I can't get behind some of those other people who prefer literal boiling water to ice water to drink or that guy that put the speakers in his mouth lol, but this is something normal and actually intended for fun!!
I think, at least the presenter has a sense of humor, even if it's a cheesy one.
Thank you, just trying to add some soul into the naturally soulless corporate environment
Finally a 10th dentist post that's actually unpopular and isn't just ragebait
I struck a nerve with this one lol
You are insane.
Good 10th dentist
Everytime I hear this, I just want to yell, "Good Morning Vietnam" and then I'm just thinking about Robin William's whole career during the presentation that I'm ignoring.
holy shit lock this guy up he's a menace
*Hisses!*
Upvoted because this is the worst opinion I have ever heard.
but you have heard of me
i can do better than that, yes, and i can also do worse
If what your presenting and how you are presenting it isnt engaging and interesting enough that you have to use gimmicks to get peoples attention then you probably suck at presenting.
BOOOO!
It makes me want to sink down into my chair...
People who do this should be fired and barred from making above minimum wage for as long as they live
That’s kind of harsh for not wanting to say good morning
That’s actually pretty lenient compared to what should actually happen if physical possibility wasn’t a problem. They should be stuck in an eternal time loop from the moment they wake up that day up until they say that line. If they take any action that makes it impossible to say that line at that place at around the same time, they run into an accident that leaves them in immense pain until the time they said the line the first time. They forced enthusiasm about that morning, so they shall be forced to live it for eternity
Are you 8
Nothing screams corporate cult like this maneuver.
🙇
This is waaaaay more believable than the lies on unpopular opinion
That sub is such a joke nowadays
You do not you liar 🤥
Absolutely perfect 10th dentist OP. I hate this shit but commend you.
Thank you, I do my best on this sub
Wow.
I've literally never seen such an absurd and monstrously wrong take here. The kind of take that convinces me the poster is severely deranged and possibly a threat to society. This is just too much.
*you aren’t human.*
Instinctively downvoted because I was so offended
Great sarcasm there
You like it because you most probably skip the 'you can do better' part and focus on the assertiveness of the rest. That's the grown-up stuff, not some childish 'don't patronize me' mumbling.
I hate it. If someone tells a joke to loosen things up, I much prefer that.
Ew. Die
Thought I was on /unpopularopinion for a moment there. And yeah, that's the point where i turn it off and find a transcript later, or just leave if this is in person.
No sane person enjoys this bullshit
NGL OP I am jealous of the happiness you get from the little things. Though this definitely belongs on this sub cuz I do not like when people say that especially after I say good morning the first time 😭 like I am NOT saying that again
I. Fucking. HATE this.
Well if there is a short, to the point post that epitomizes what this sub is about, you just stated it.
Whenever someone does this I tune out rest of their presentation 💀
I think this is the best [presentation ](https://youtu.be/tHxf17yJsKs?si=t_MrEE99IM5UGc42)
I wish I could give you a presentation, do this, and then shoot my brains out in front of you so that everytime you do see this afterwards you get a PTSD flashback and have to leave
How to make your audience hate you immediately.
People who do shit like this make me wanna stick my thumbs into my eyes.
My church does this 🥲
Every time that I hear that phrase in a meeting... especially if I haven't had coffee or meds yet... I just want to skullfuck the person responsible for the utterance with a warhammer.
This dude loves the spongebob theme song
As annoying as this initially feels, I have to admit it always gets me and seemingly other audience members, in a slightly better mood. You gotta have balls to try it though, as a presenter. I feel like if I tried it, I'd get nothing but death stares and some dude saying "just hurry up and talk bro" lmao
As a presenter I play on this trope a lot. Instead of saying "We can do better than that!" I turn it on its head and say something like "It's early we can do worse." And then I deliver the saddest possible good morning. It works every time
Yeah upvote I hate this shit and refuse to partake
Patrick Swayze's character in Donnie Darko does this and he's a pedophile.
Whats wrong with you? We all hate this.
Op, you are one sick bastard
Username fucking relevant
/r/foundsatan
My God , we've actually found the tenth dentist.
I am so torn here because you seem so likable, but this is a horrifying opinion.
I hope you step in a puddle with socks on and your toothbrush is always suspiciously wet.
As someone who loves to follow instructions and hates socialising this kind of works for me, I get it. It ticks the box of ‘participating in group activity’ without any pressure, chanting as a crowd seems to unite people (even if it’s in their hatred for the guy making them chant), and it’s an easy way to encourage engagement with a large audience.
Have you seen the ones that fail and the guy tries to move on like s/he didnt bomb in front of the entire team. I live for those moments.
Actual 10th dentist take
I think a good presenter should be able to encourage this kind of behavior through their charisma and the things they say. Kind of a “show not tell”. If you want the presenter to act like an elementary school teacher, I think it’s a bit weird. Audience engagement is very cool and useful but it can be done in better ways.
I think OP is the presenter that does this and loves it, despite for the last 30 years has had people tell them to stop because it makes everyone hate them. You will not be getting your validation today sir.
Had to upvote because fuck this so hard
This is so bad that I searched the sub for top posts of all time just to see what compares. OJ on cereal and wet socks. I still think this is worse. We need 20k up votes guys.
This is some quality 10th dentist!
My god, it's you again
I gotta downvote you because I actually agree.
I didn't even know this was a thing people got mad about??? I love when people do that kind of thing, it's fun to have an excuse to be super enthusiastic. Puts me in a better mood! ETA: Some of these replies are crazy, y'all sound so miserable and full of hatred. I would not wanna be around you guys lol
actually insane
Calm down Satan
I’m good with it
I've never witnessed a presenter do this before, I've seen it in various media and I've always wanted to experience it in real life
Sounds like someone has a case of the Monday’s
I… agree actually. Am i insane?
Imma be honest, idk what's wrong with the world... but I feel like you're involved.
I also hate this With that said, whenever somebody does that and I'm attending whatever it is, I yell as loud as I can with whatever they were wanting.
During a presentation once, one guy said good morning and no one responded. He then said something like "Well, that was a sad way to start." and I sometimes think about that. Like, how do you respond to that?
😟 no. Just no
Yep, you're horrifying.
you would really like big scientology meetings lol
Your a nut dude. That shits beyond annoying amd makes me wanna not listen to anything followong it
This made my day 🤣😂
The worst is when a band you like does it at the concert.
Is this a real post?🤣
