A clip from the sitcom Better Off Ted in which a team gives a presentation about the Jabberwocky Project without having anything to present.
HN uses it as a joke reference for startups and pitches with lots of presentation and no actual product.

WTF is this shit? This site makes no sense, groundbreakingly horrible design, and totally unclear mission and purpose. Just 100% BS. Maybe it's a jaberwocky. [VIDEO]
This reminds me of Better Off Ted's Jabberwocky Project: [VIDEO] Which, of course, is a parody of the late '90s tech boom and some of the useless, fluffy companies that were spawned.
This early 2010s sitcom clip [1] comes to mind when reading about this. Many of the same buzzwords were used, in the same way. Notice the lack of substance in the product discussion, and the literal dancing around what it (Jabberwocky) was. Who needs a product, when you have a presentation. [1] [VIDEO]
