Matthew Inman is a comic genius. He knows people and he knows how to make them laugh and stay engaged. This is why he is so good at marketing his site - not because of any business acumen or learned philosophy - he engages his readers and his content is funny as you can get - with a broad appeal to boot! Nice one Matthew - haters gonna hate hate hate hate - and I am going to hell hell hell hell ....
This is the most informative 5 min video I've ever watched. *EVER*
Seemed more of an ad of his site, than tips for startups. Saying that, still fun to watch, Oatmeal is awesome.
He is a genius in his own right (write?). DON'T try and copy his plan unless YOU are that clever and a great humourist!! He *IS* great.

He's the best comic strip since the Far Side, love his comedic genius!
Who is funny, witty and lovable in every way. It seems a lot of people think the same.
The semicolon lesson on Oatmeal is a very good one. It helped me.
oh my god, this man is a genius of witty humor!
I really enjoyed the seat creaking near the microphone. Good job mic holder or phone holder - you had one job.
Matt, whatever you do don't end up like my brother you writing and website kicks ass!
My English teacher printed out the comic "10 Words You Need To Stop Misspelling" and hung it up in the classroom.
The Oatmeal is the awesomest thing on the internet
It's funny how the audience's laughter gradually gets louder and louder and louder as his speech progresses lol.
i just recently discovered the oatmeal and i think ive read every one of his comics lol they are fantastic
Are this crowd severely intoxicated?

That's what I thought. I've trawled through every site he's done. I imagined only 8 year old would find the content funny. I really don't find anything on the oatmeal funny or interesting. The drawing quality is laughable (in a bad way). Which brings me to point, there are people who can squat and shit out a turd in this world and have their shit gobbled up by the masses. Born lucky I guess.

***** thanks for stating the obvious Sherlock. You see what you've done there right? Unfortunately you should have thought before you commented. I'll spell it out to you, your opinion isn't any more valid than mine either. Genius.

***** LOL... And by implication you find my opinion disagreeable, you find the site to your liking, funny and interesting and you're also having a cry because of my opinions. Your opinions are in no way any more valid than mine either. Once again, thanks for stating the obvious.
I just love that this is episode 69
Matthew Inman is the man.
why do you people care about how he looks like in real life? People with such great talent should be admirable, no matter what look like.
the oatmeal brought me here!
What was the name of the song in the beginning? There were some trumpets that I heard that I recognized from a certain song. Please reply soon if you know.
WTF. I did not expect a guy who hides behind hilarious comics to be this cute. SERIOUSLY WTF. I WANT HIM.
Matthew. You are a GENIUS. I love your comics. Thank you for existing. (Actually, pass that compliment onto your parents) Ok, that is all...carry on.
The Oatmeal is a GENIUS!!!!
oh man this guy is awesome! cant wait for the book!
Oatmeal / Ignite creativity slides - Matthew Inman
I think the slides were just put into the youtube video-actual talk was probably longer with pauses.
this is legend..... wait for it..... dary!
This guy is just so fucking amazing. CHEERS TO HIM.
So much
Why do I feel like they've recorded the wrong set of laughter for this one?
The comics are great, but it's how he markets them that is the key to his success. He didn't cover that aspect at all. There's tons of great comics online, but there's a reason his has become so popular - effective marketing. But how?
this guy is a genius
Matthew you're great! I've got your book!!!
I would bear his babies too. I read every comic he makes, and every blog post. I take every quiz, I even have the Oatmeal merchandise... I love Matthew Inman. Not to mention, when you finally look him up, you find an extremely attractive man (not some creepy guy in his parents basement playing lol or wow all day). Matthew Inman, the creator of the Oatmeal... *sigh*
The Oatmeal is awesome.
@unsteddy No...you are not...I was really confused at first when he walked on stage.
Good job Matt !
@unsteddy Probably by the way he draws the character that's supposed to be modeled after him.
I like the idea, and it seems like they have some good guests on this show, but I simply do not understand people's obsession with brevity. In lectures such as these, it takes time to articulate a point properly.
awesome Matt!!
I love the Oatmeal!
Comments: 99.9% - Scammers trying to get you to visit their shitty sites 0.1% - Matthew Inman is funny! 420% - ooOOHOHOHOO GOD AUTISTIC JOKE BLARGH
I have the book and the calendar. :)
It's so funny that the most rated comments are those referred to his looks instead of what he's saying... Well, who cares? It's true. He was supposed to be old and ugly and instead he is completely handsome.
Episode 69.... How... Fitting...? Love the comics though
he needs to make a jersey shore comic
What an awesome guy
I love mat!!
nice i love the oatmeal!!!
he was called to teach..he gave an advertisement of his website then ran away with more followers, without really giving any method or direction..he knows how to make money.
Why do some websites almost always get a #1 ranking on google? Go and copy and paste into google Roltan Ranking Platform to find out why.
@unsteddy you mean like Maddox?
Really funny stuff! Love it!
he's a bit better looking that i'd expect
THE FUTURE WILL BE AMAZING! WE'LL HAVE OFFICES IN THE CLOUDS AND COMMUTE TO WORK ON RAINBOWS!!!! - The Oatmeal
You'll notice he's on a timer, he couldn't stop and wait for them to finish. That and if you know anything about running live sound you can tell it's legit just by his microphone sound.
totally awesome!
You can see how big the audience is at :26 LOL!!! I guess we'll just have to trust that they are really out there huh?
@unsteddy I imagined him as a turtle riding a giant tapeworm
this guy is a fuckin genius.
Wait, I thought the Oatmeal was an overweight, drooling man with a bushy beard? This guy is smokin!
wondering can u sum up for us?
Go Oaty!
Well this is an odd turn of events
of course theoatmeal would have episode 69.
Thumbs up if you visited each site he mentioned.
and here i was thinking it was because he only had 15 seconds per slide and five minutes total which was literally said with language at the beginning of the video
So did I! Probably because in most of his comics he draws himself as a bald fat guy.
thanks for the info cnote reality show 2013
i thought oatmeal was fat and ugly....and he was still epic and he is skinny and not ugly. that's a plus
I would bear this mans babies. And I'm a heterosexual male. THATS how awesome the Oatmeal is.
i get the idea that people were barely listening to you and more laughing at your sites :D
@unsteddy I did too, i'm kinda bummed that he's more attractive and more popular than me.
He looks like Cam Gigandet
We need to make craptons an official unit of measurement.
@monkey314159 Details please. What did he do to you?
Why?
So much win…
@tipoomaster I think your babies are his models for his cartoons! lol just kidding.
I thought the oatmeal person was foreign ah well still like it
He's a lot cuter than I expected :O Not complaining though :D
@unsteddy Nope.
Society has changed SO much since this video first came out. Matt would get"cancelled" today for making fun of autism, or comically using the r-slur in a lecture.
oatmeal is fuckin hilarious!
Everyone thought he was fat. EVERYONE. I guess it's because he always pictures himself as a fat bald dude in his comics lol
why does everyone think he was fat? i thought he might be because of the bus story he said he was chubby but apart from that i had no idea...people seemed to think he was fugly or something lol ?

cormac mccarthy recently said semicolons shouldn't be used in the english language. i felt depressed for a week.

Bottom line, what is his marketing, and can he make money from these..
Because he wants to mess with you. :3
Um... i just saw 9,999 subs...so... i think im the 10,000th sub... yay?
@wiggledogallen3 Well he said in a month, and the Oatmeal =/= iGNiTE's video.
