powerpoint coma

a coma induced by a powerpoint presentation that is too long (lol, arent they all?), too terrible (lol, arent they all?), or poorly presented (lol, arent they all?)

- uh-oh My Audience has fallen into a powerpoint coma
- The only thing I can do now is put them in funny poses and leave.

Death by powerpoint

When someone delivers a powerpoint so tediously boring that everyone ends up slouched over their chairs and desks, in a 'dead' fashion

Powerpointlessness

The tedious use of flashy transitions, graphics and sound effects while making a slide presentation that is pretty much lacking in thought, meaning and value.

The corporate team stumbled out of the morning meeting after three hours of suffering through powerpointlessness and dry lectures about strategy.

Powerpoint culture

A work culture that encourages dumb presentations and meetings about strategy based on gut feelings and hand gestures. The strategy is never really executed after the presentation. Also the exhibitors usually support setting goals as a way of life and endless boring conversations about the structure of their team.
The presentations almost always use Microsoft's Powerpoint software.

The culture worships graphic design and helps incompetent people to keep their jobs even though if they were to die tomorrow, the company’s profits would not be harmed and even improved.

If the presentations are on stage it can also be called "TED culture".

I got fired. I have to feed my kids ... Jessica's dad arranged for me to do a temporary office cleaning job. But it's not so bad, a break from the powerpoint culture. You don't even have to send weeklies to the boss there.
