It's not a guy giving a speech about ponies that was awkward, it's just that the guy himself is awkward and cannot speak well in public.
The speech had a good start, I thought he was really going to convince others why the show was good. But then he floundered, and didn't back up his points too well nor provided adequate reasons. He also didn't explain things in the detail it needed. Adding his adventures in the forums and "fandom" was a serious error. He fumbled on the question about gender neutrality when he could've taken that idea and run with it to greatness. His presentation was flawed; it contained too many pauses and "ums". The multimedia was near useless. He forgot about Spike. This kid would at best recieve a C if I were grading it.
