Make presentations and slides funny
The funniest slides come from something true about your material, not from a joke bolted on. Find the real absurd detail, say it plainly, place it at a transition, then move on. Shutap is being built to help presenters find and sharpen those lines.

Start with a true detail
The best presentation humor is a real observation about your topic, your industry or your own experience. Generic jokes pasted in from the internet feel like filler. A specific detail from your material cannot be used by anyone else.
Place it at a transition
Put one funny line where attention dips: after a dense slide, at the start of a new section, or at the close. One well-placed line beats five scattered ones.
Keep it short and plain
State the facts plainly, add one twist, and stop. Do not explain the joke, and do not apologize for it.
Aim at the situation, not people
Joke about the process, the jargon, the situation or yourself carefully. Avoid naming colleagues, customers or competitors, and avoid anything about identity.
Check the room
Know the audience. A board meeting, a customer webinar and an all-hands call for different distances from the facts. Shutap's wild setting controls exactly that: 1 is true to what happened, 5 goes wild.
Where this stands today
Shutap's bit engine is live now and already has an audience setting for work and office. Tools made specifically for presentations, slides, demos and meetings are in development, and this page describes where Shutap is heading rather than a finished feature. Try the engine on a real story and see how the writing works.
