I'm valedictorian and was looking for examples of speeches because I want mine to be original - as far as original speeches go, this guy definitely takes the cake. This guy is my IDOL! haha!
@TheOpinionatedPerson That's true - that statement was poorly written. I didn't mean I was looking to copy anyone's speeches or even their styles or types of speech - I was merely studying the different approaches and techniques used to hold the audience's attention and the type diction used (formal vs. informal, etc.). That's a good point though.
Awesome job! No one cares about what the valedictorian has to say, so might as well make it fun and hilarious! I did the same thing at my college graduation.
hey, a grad speech that didnt drone on for what seemed like 5 hours of endless boring cliches AND wasnt given by a complete fucking dolt with a fake "speech voice". great job! =D
Son of a bitch. I was biting my nail and as soon as I heard his senior prank I laughed so hard I had to take a deep breath and choked on my nail after wards. Luckily there was a bottle of water next to me. 0_0
My friend suggested that I should plain say the rick roll lyrics till the never gonna give you up part and then start singing and dancing to it... and he said if I am going to do it, he'll help me to alternate the lyrics to fit the context and tape the speech for me if I am really going to do it.
No way. I was there that day. I taught him in seventh grade. He's a natural comedian with impeccable timing, and this is the single greatest valedictorian speech I have ever heard.
PEOPLE STOLE YOUR SHIT??? WTF?? man i just read my speech yesterday and mine was 100% original.. omg seriously? people just steal from you?? man cant they make up their own shit? arent they valedictorians???
Brilliant. i first saw this two years ago, and this was my inspiration for many speeches throughout these two years. this guys delivery is amazing, speech writing is hilarious. I enjoy your humour, and frank tone of voice. THANK YOU.
Unless you are from Fluvanna as well, it would not be so funny... Chris Daughtry was from our county and graduated from our High School, that's why it was funny.
i dont even remember what i wrote but i think i said no one cares about school bullshit you would rather here an entertaining speech and i never searched this it was linked in a video i watched
The world has changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, 4 none now live who remember it. It began with the forging of the great Western and Eastern Corporate Power Rings. 3 were given to the elves, immortal wisest and fairest of all beings. 7 to the dwarf lords great miners and craftsmen of tourist attractions. And 9, nine rings were gifted to the race of politicians from around the globe who above all else desire power.
Lol, I expected to turn this off after thirty seconds but I watched the whole thing. And I'm not sure whether to feel lame or entertained that I actually spent six minutes of my life watching someone else's graduation speech.
oh my lord. I went to my brothers 2008 graduation ceremony and the valedictorian COPIED THIS SPEACH. he plagiarised the part when he said "i want a round of applause after everything i say" and he alsso plagiarised the part when he said " good advice my mother always told me, you are a handsome boy dont let anyone tell you otherwise" holly shiettt i was shokedd. GAVYN BACKUS YOU PLAGIARISM IDIOT.
That is terrible... sounds like he thought he'd get away with it too! At least... at least he didn't copy more I guess.... It could have been MUCH worse, like taking ALL of the generic parts of the speech and using it all over. O.o
i know. No he didnt take all of it. but HE DEFS took tthose parts. and i thought they were hilarious. i say, i was quite SHOCKED when i saw this speach . Gavyn(plagiariser) is speach all flashed back to me. w.e karma will hit.
Haha, the administrators behind him were all laughing until he started stating his regrets about the school and basically slammed the school system for all the crap they didn't do. They WERE NOT smiling after he made comments regarding those things, lol.
this is so funny. In a week i have to make a valedictorian speech, and I know i can't be this funny, so basically i am just giving up and writing the very same inspirational speech this guy made fun of. all i can hope for is that at least one person stays awake through out who isn't my mom.
Dude, that WAS seriously the funniest speech. I was listening to my valedictorian's and salutatorian's speeches just yesterday and they "tried" to be funny, but it was nothing compared to this. Bravo!
