The Onion is a satirical phony newspaper. Back on February 27, 2017 they published a one-minute video with awful advice on How to Conquer a Fear of Public Speaking. The text (which you should ignore) says to:

 

“Fill the crowd with a few familiar faces who will lie to you about how it went. 

 

Never start a speech without tossing a few fun-size candy bars into the audience first to get them on your side.

 

Close your eyes and breathe deeply before each word during your speech.

 

Try to imagine everyone in the audience dead.

 

Take solace in knowing that no matter how your speech goes, it will be forgotten immediately upon its conclusion.”
