Mark Zuckerberg is House of Pleasures (House of Tolerance)not well known for his speaking skills.

Last month, when the Facebook CEO spoke in front of Congress, he was viciously meme'd for his robotic demeanor, something he's always gotten a lot flack for. But during his keynote at F8 on Tuesday, Facebook's annual developer conference, Zuckerberg didn't sound like himself. But he did sound familiar.

Fresh off the tails of the Cambridge Analytica data controversy, Zuckerberg took the stage to open the conference. While bellowing to the hall, his cadence, hand movements, vocal pitch, and demeanor seemed an awful lot like notably inspiring speaker and former president Barack Obama.

It was hard to not notice the similarities. Check it out for yourself:

"Since the last F8, we've seen the Me Too movement and the March For Our Lives organized at least part, on Facebook," Zuckerberg boasted before talking about Hurricane Harvey relief and growing job numbers from the social network.

"But we've also seen people try to use these tools for harm," he said as he slowed his speech, pausing briefly.

It's a page right out of the Obama speech handbook, and I wasn't the only person to notice. Others on Twitter echoed that Zuck basically ripped off Obama's speech delivery during his keynote.

And as one Twitter user pointed out, it's true Kyle O'Connor, a former speechwriter for Obama is currently working for Facebook as Executive Communications, according to his LinkedIn.
