The best man must "Relax", no one is expecting the best man suddenly become a great public speaker. What they are expecting, however, is a look into the more personal side of the friendship the couple has with the best man. This friendship was around while the couple was dating, during the toughest time and through the laughter and pain. These emotions need to be clearly spoken to the bride, groom and guests of the wedding to create a connection between everyone in attendance.
Lame how he tries to make a joke about how bad the speech is. This is so bad it went past being funny and ended up tragic. How did this guy get through the rest of the evening? I would've killed myself in the toilets five minutes later.
I just gave a best man speech and wish i would've just written all out and read it. Instead I tried to do bullet points and missed a lot of the stuff I'd put a lot of thought into because i was nervous as hell. I think the groom would probably appreciate you more if you read off a good thoughtful speech then tried to avoid reading and didn't have as much to say.
Great speech - For an even funnier speech undertake a YouTube search for 'Jim Laura Kent' or select 'TheSemtex1977' and view The Greatest Best Man speech ever Trilogy!!!!
This guy deserved to look like a complete moron. It's obvious he didn't plan a single word of his speech out. Yeah he sucks at public speaking, but he also sucks at trying his best. If my best man did this, I would fucking slap him. Learn to prepare.
Poor guy. I felt sorry for him. Should have downed that drink BEFORE he started the speech. My family and I are going to a wedding on July 15th for a cousin of my husband's. I hope the best man (the brother of the groom) has been preparing for this moment. We shall see. :)
Yo, with regards to your upcoming Best Man doolally, you'll be great as long as you write a speech in advance, and practice it in front of a few people, taking notes etc.
I thought I was gonna shit my pants AND throw up onto my shoes at the same time, but I did fine, people laughed and applauded, and I actually ENJOYED doing the damn thing.
A little planning and preparation and you'll do fine.
@Notofthisworld13 you shouldnt focus on giving a speech that isnt bad. focus on giving a speech that is good. Dont even think about the negative aspects of what COULD go wrong. write it out and have in memorized and use index cards if you need... go get em!
if anybody has the names of the people in this clip, let us know - we're documentary filmmakers doing a film on the fear of public speaking and can't find out who these people are!!
My advice for a best man speech: (1) Write some bullet point notes. (2) Keep it under a minute unless your a professional speaker. (3) Make a joke yet keep it clean. Grandma does not want to hear about the threesome you and the best man had with Sally on spring break.
@mccormack9 your advice is decent but i got a better one; take a shot of something. Get drowsy enoughf to loosen your nerves, then you can make a 20 minute speech easily. Still not too drowsy because then your confort zone may expand to places the audience doesnt want to hear :D
The Best should had a couple of sprit drinks before he started that normally works to wear off the nerves, to bad im a best man on 3rd april, and i dont know what to say LOL
@twburr this is what you say "you are marrying a great guy, you are very lucky, he is a great in bed, I should know, we have been sleeping together off and on for years"
that was horrible lol hahahaha.. im so happy mine didnt go that bad.. a bit of advice to all future best men.. dont try to be a inevative hero.. look up some good speeches take some good points from a few of them then impliment your own touch on them.. its a stressfull moment there is nothing wrong with a little help
Man, that's painful to watch! I've been a best man and I hate making speeches but you just gotta get yourself together and do it. I feel sorry for this guy
@coltsuperocean10 I think this more an example of a person who is very nervous at public speaking and was not prepared, rather than him being a "stupid" American.
@Blitzbok Keep your speech short and to the point. Say something nice about the groom and the bride, make a joke about the groom, give them a good toast then sit your ass down and give yourself a pat on the back. That's what i did.lol
i fink the groom shud of used his brother ,cousin or another m8 to help out, if you knew your best m8 wasnt good a speeches why did u ask him?, its not rite. u and him look a show up in front of ur family
@kidddsosick How did your speech go in the end mate? Did mine last night. Wasn't too bad but I was nervous as hell. Funny enough using YouTube and a few websites helped me prepare well even though I started late
Not when he's got a frickin speech written under him - what a tool - spit out the cupcake and start talking MAN GET THESE WHACK COCKSUCKERS OFF STAGE WHERE THE F**K IS KANYE WHEN WE NEED HIM!"
Best man speeches are a bitch. At least he acknowledged he was crashing. Cheers.

Oh deary me. That was horrifying.
I had to do a best man speech a coupla weeks ago. Before it started, I was so nervous I didn't think I'd be able to even stand up.
But I did stand up, and as soon as I started talking I felt great.
The key is: spend a good few weeks preparing the thing. If you've prepared an amusing speech, once you start reading it aloud, it becomes quite fun.
Preparation is the key. That's really all there is to it.
