John Lloyd | Profile on TED.com
Why you should listen to him:
John Lloyd seems to have known every brilliant and funny person in Britain, and his collaborations are legendary. He's been a fixture on the BBC for four decades, producing such classic comedies as Blackadder, Spitting Image, the BBC's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and lately QI, hosted by Stephen Fry, and now in its sixth season.
He's also written a dozen funny books -- including The Meaning of Liff, a collaboration with his friend Douglas Adams, which has been in print for 26 years.
"If John Cleese is the Pope of comedy, John is the Cardinal. He is the kingmaker because he is this unbelievable source of comic wisdom."Griff Rhys Jones, The Independent

Great piece of marketing with the classic 90's SNAP dance tune and Brains from Thunderbirds! It seems to be trying to tap into the success of the near-cult Cadbury's 'Gorilla' advert which also featured a strong retro anthem and a non-human character.
