In the impossible event that I become valedictorian, this is, without a doubt, the speech I'm using

[wiseguy310]

Hilarious... He awsome just for having the balls to do it.

[CrazySunshine245]

Best speech ever! =]

[wint3rzx]

Santa Clara High School 2010 Valedictorian COPIED AT LEAST 80% OF THIS SPEECH IN HIS. <==It's despicable. But I guess when you make something this good, people are bound to steal it.

[darkhart58]

this is the funniest speech ive heard! i wish i were there

[edz3ed2]

pokemaster lol

[MiniMeow777]

Guys, no matter what a graduation speech will always be corny. I graduated with this class, and let me tell you, this kid made it memorable with this speech. Sure it's corny but it was funny and enjoyable and it makes me look back at the good times there. You all need to chill and just have a sense of humor. What he did was awesome, avoiding the sappy, boring sob stories and instead, making it fun and memorable. Definately the best speech ever! <3 WM

[xfredx]

god that was such a funny day. i was there it was my graduating class. it was so funny and so awesome

[Hakajin]

I can't believe people actually took this seriously. I mean, look at the guy, he almost starts laughing himself. He seems to be mocking the entire institution of the graduation ceremony, and its corny, profound messages. I like it. It was subtle, clever, and witty.

[josh1212121]

man that must've been embarassing! you see all those people laughing at him? sure the message was great, but he presented it in a corny way. no matter what you say about him even if his speech was inspiring and all he really was embarassing, and lame. people are gona laugh at this everytime they see it. and stop defending him pokemondude1996 if people say he's lame theyr entitled to their own opinion. hell, maybe your just as corny as he is.

[Master3juggler]

Haha, parents must be proud XD

But really, that was great, made me laugh :)

good speech!

[LinedDinoPaper]

this was so good! im so happy you weren't like "now we have to pack up our barbies and ken dolls and go off to college"

[006cat]

I love him.

[Azrael138]

i'm just so happy. that was....that was amazing.

[umpancakes]

This guy is obviously a genius, and if you guys don't see that then i guess you are truly stupid

[specialedpal]

I went to school with this kid and let me tell you that he is actually really cool (and obviously pretty funny).

[ZerolockXXX]

this dude isn't a nerd

[ZerolockXXX]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahah

this video was on G4's attack of the show

[rhcp00001]

this man is clearly a genious anyone who thinks other wise is clearly retarded

[NDR01D]

I'm just happy he pronounced it "poke-ay-mon" and not "poke-e-mon".

[GLUExSTiCK]

that was just wow...! it wasn't boring at all

great job

[ShadowDaPk]

AWESOME! If only the whole crowd actually was awake.

[josh1212121]

he's now the biggest loser in youtube. hahaha

[pokemondude1996]

you f****** suck this guy aint no f***** loser

[100thassasin]

he is a genius, and infringing on copywrite laws.

[sylentwitness]

very clever.

[fhooquan]

i meant to reply to basically anyone who thinks this guy sucks

[fhooquan]

this kid is awesome. you will never be as awesome as him.

[Athy26]

This is actually a pretty good speech... Most people drone on about how their lives are better for various reasons, but this kid made a good point as to how you need to strive to be the very best...

[LuckyChansey]

what a weird loser.

[pokemondude1996]

bitch no way fucking loser

[AmpBuster95]

meh would have been funnier if the crowd wasn't giving dead

[jasLBJ23]

randy.. its not funny.. he tried too hard and ruined what could have been a funny speach

[roggor123]

he says pokemon stragle..?

AND HES WRONG! you do get pokemon that are the same 0_0. you have av 2 pichus?

[Dillon64]

xD this is awesome! i can't breath!

[baddate]

There is a reason this guy is Valedictorian.

[warior98]

Ahah that's awesome

[ThatFreakinRandy]

this was freakin rad, and all these people ragging on it need to write there own speech to give that isn't completely sucky or boring. Because one, this is hillarious, and two, it has a meaning.

[bluemoon00]

omg that takes balls 2 do ya kno he was just playin around n all but that still takes balls

lol

everyone plz repeat after me the pokemon pledge

[kingbaby227]

loved it

[thewerecactus]

hell yes

[berguem1]

rofl dude this speech is hella awsome

[whatfrog903]

LMFAO!!!!!!!!

[sk8erbaker500]

tht guy is awesome!!1

[digimon664]

lol, this thing is friggin awsome!! XD

[Gonzalez2500]

This guy is an ass. He's making fun of Pokemon. I hate those douchebags that say "I love pokemon" when they don't know shit about anything just to be funny.

This video: FAIL

And what makes it worse is it's one of those phony graduation speeches. These go in the category of boring things you must sit through ,like powerpoint presentation.

[Gonzalez2500]

Ohh...Wow,I'm so offended.What are you,twelve?

[fhooquan]

burn in hell ngr

[thepanda32389]

THIS IS AMAZING

[hardrocker943]

hahaha this is freakin amazing

[odamarasengan07]

ROFL if my vsledictorian wasnt a robot bitch i wish she would have referenced pokemon

[SirFuzzi]

Insecure jocks beware! Your Valedictorian speeches got pwn't by a giant Pokemon reference. Suckers.

[Tynwarrior]

I love it, that guy is the man!!!

I saw this on G4(attack of the show) as well.

Never before have I had so much respect for pokemon!!!

when you take release date into count pokemon red and blue, were possible the greatest games ever made!!!!!!

[workraft451]

Was he trying to be funny??? Or was he just oblivious that the people were laughing at him and not with him?

[twa558]

Great

[mylilgymsock1]

LOL haha i saw this on attack of the show man.

[jo0k]

HAHAHA, this guy is awesome. huge sense of humor and no he's not a dork, or a nerd, just wrote a symbolic, relevant, hilarious speech. if i was in the audience I would be fucking dieing. he clearly is great a public speaking and doesnt give a fucking what people think of him. so basically, he's better than you.

[RivalBattousai]

the best speech any man has given

[revengent]

Oh my God! This was amazing! It was fuuny and relevant, but the speaker was great. And kudos to him for dealing with all that wind. Best Val speech I've heard.

[Nasimanator]

i saw this on Attack of the show i while ago

[FreestyleTraceur]

same, lol

[fhooquan]

same lol

[Gasmaskfreak]

wow i just saw this too on Attack of the show

my Val. did his speech with some pokemon themes in it. "Did Ash give up when his pikachu lost to LT Surge's Richu?" LOL! omg i still love them and im also 18 =P

[slaytera364]

just saw this on attack of the show

[ChaosisOver]

that was fucking great when he had them recite the theme song! XD!

[RaiSaix]

He is not a dork. He took a chance on a speech theme. And I think it was a great one. He used something that almost everyone has heard about and used common things in the pokemon and real world. This speech was a great one. And enyone who makes fun of him for it is just a punk-kid who has no idea what symbolism is.

[GersPers]

I love Zach!!

ward melville is cooler than most things.

[DiggityDoglikeDogg]

i'd give a funnier speech. if i was a valedictorian

[Nostalgia143]

He has issues. He can'teven pronounce 'POKéMON'.

[moabvfoab]

po ke mo n

He pronounces it properly. Why do you think theres an accent in the english one?

Pokémon

[whathavidone]

I just saw this on Aots too. XD

[ChaosisOver]

me 3

[UzumakiRasengan1]

i saw dis o aots and searched for it. was dis a real speech?

lol

[ivanovic99]

POKEMON!!!! LOL

[Compton3clipsed]

The fucking crowd here lol

[DimolitionCrew]

what a dork lol

[JackDaniels0124]

I saw this on AOTS. He is so gay. lol

[rydengorey]

Why couldn't I have gone to this school?

[aznbballstar155]

Oh shoot! Zachary Fuhrer, is that you? It's me, Gerard, from Nassau/Suffolk :)

[Sonicpenguin15]

awsome, saw this an AOTS just now. great video.

[alatif222]

AOTS!

[Nicsho]

Aots!

[johhnydamage]

SHENANIGANS!

[Themis]

This needs many more views. Not only is this commical, but it's very intricate and very, very relevant.

Inspirational xD

[shadowsora]

"The chief objective of Pokemon is a lot like the chief objective in high school:  To train hard in order to become a Poke-Master." This is the greatest speech I've ever heard.

[greatone10]

lol this was way better than any speech I ever heard in high school

[wartank777]

that was godly

[xfredx]

ah i remeber that. i was lauging so hard

[dancingpanda1988]

[Mugensenpai]

I LIKE POKEMON!
