Minute Madnesses / Fast-Forward Presentations

Unfortunately not many (good) minute madness examples are freely available online, but here are a few examples. If you have more, please add them to the list.

Some ideas for creating an interesting minute madness presentation:

cliffhangers
telling a fairy tale or story
making fun of dialects or known characters
making fun of academia as a whole
making fun of oneself (use with care)
making fun of your adviser (also use with extra care!)
poems/songs/rap/music (also use with care, must be good!)
being a salesperson and selling "your product"
demos/using your own technique/software
use of comic characters or puppets

The CHI (Computer-Human Interaction) conference has an excellent page with examples of good minute madnesses from the 2006 conference with examples for various styles, you can watch the videos and slides that the presenters used: http://www.chi2007.org/attend/madness/

Below you can find some specific examples of nice (this is a just slightly biased opinion) fast-forwards, in reverse chronological order:

Petra Neumann, CHI 2008 on Collaborative Visualization

This is a short youtube video of Petra's minute madness at CHI 2008 for the paper »An Exploratory Study of Visual Information Analysis«. It's a short sketch about why you would want to do collaborative visualization and how you shouldn't do it (sequentially around a tabletop). The video starts off with a sketch on why you want collaborative visualization and later shows you how you don't want to support it. You've got the read the paper to find out why ;-):
