Funny Best Man Speech - How To Make Them Laugh

You have been chosen the best man, everyone expects you to make a speech. You want to make the speech memorable and want it to be funny. You have browsed through a hundred articles but have no idea what so ever about writing that speech.

Your search ends here!

First let me assure you that delivering a funny best man speech is an art no less. Don’t panic! The most important thing to learn about this art is to keep a fine line between fun and embarrassment. Most people while delivering any kind of speech tend to forget that there is an audience in front of them which varies in their opinions and sense of humor. You would do well to remember this.

Next let’s begin at the beginning. As you have been chosen the best man you are either the groom’s best mate or are the groom’s brother, you have access to all the information you will probably need to get on with writing that speech. So keep that in mind, get a notebook and exercise those grey cells. 

• Jot down any funny incidents or memories you have about the groom and yourself.

• Write down any habits of the groom that you find funny.

• Make a note of any funny expression that the groom uses frequently.

Having finished this we move on to the next stage. INTERVIEW!!

Yes, you heard it right. Let the journalist in you take over and interview all the people close to the groom, be it his father, mother, sister, other friends or the bride. Get all the dope you can on the groom. Any fond memories of them with the groom which have a funny angle will do.

Get your hands on a book which has a lot of one liners and funny quotes. If you don’t need the book and can come up with such one liners yourself, very good. 

• While delivering the speech remember to keep a straight face.

• Thank everyone present for gracing the occasion and then joke about it.

• Praise the bride and insert a funny joke here.

• Tell the bride how she’s wasting her time on your friend while cracking a joke. 

• Mention the funny quirks of the groom.

• Now recount the funny incidents and memories, which you jotted down earlier.

• Mention the stories you have gathered from other people.

• You can now continue with the more serious aspects of your speech.

• Sprinkle the whole speech with jokes.

• Remember to keep your jokes in good taste.

• Don’t embarrass or offend anyone with your jokes.

• You can dispense advice on marriage, keep it funny and short.

• End your speech by wishing them the best of luck and a happy married life in a funny way.

Any speech that is original and heartfelt will always be appreciated by everyone no matter how long or short it is. So be original and express your true feelings.
