Question

I've seen some light hearted pitch decks before, and as someone who appreciates comedy, I enjoy that... but I often wonder what an analytical minded or more money motivated VC/investor thinks when they see rap lyrics or cheeky humor in pitch decks.

I know this is an extremely subjective question, so I'm hoping to get some input from some investors/vcs/angels rather than entrepreneurs.

I reviewed a pitch deck that has a slide showing a greedy looking man kissing money bags with the title "We want your money not advise".

I found it funny with a serious message.
