Your Very Best 'Best Man' Speech

It's an honor to be chosen to be someone's Best Man at their wedding. It's a unique position in life, signifying a combination of 'best friend' and 'eloquent speaker.' At least it should signify the latter- if not, the mandatory and expected Best Man speech will be a letdown for all in attendance, including the groom himself.

The Best Man is expected to have thorough and historic knowledge of the groom. He is expected to have a genuine and deep sense of the groom as a person, and to know his true characteristics, qualities and exceptional stories and anecdotes.

A fantastic Best Man speech shines light on those offbeat, unique qualities of the person, their strengths and weaknesses, the thing we can all laugh at, in a fun but harmless manner. Combining personal, individualized information with sharp humor creates a funny roast or speech that captures attention, pulls people in, and then pays off with explosive jokes, or punchlines that relate to your person of honor, the groom.

Funny Best Man Speech at Wedding

An extremely successful funny Best Man roast speech starts with some self-deprecating comments by the speaker- the Best Man- simultaneously introducing themselves and getting a few laughs.

The speech then gets into the earliest beginnings of the groom- where he grew up and went to school, his hobbies, accomplishments and travails as a youth.

Next our speech segues from high school to college- usually a great topic for both humor and biographical tidbits- as our roast speech can touch on the groom's major, living situation (perhaps in a fraternity?), major extracurricular activities, and some general sharp jokes about the college or university itself.

We then veer into the groom's career path, jobs / employers, notable hobbies in adult hood, trips / vacations, and then into general personal qualities, which include things he's great at, then terrible at; and things (foods, music, personalities, TV/movies, places, etc) he loves, and hates. Out of these personality particulars we paint a portrait augmented by hilarious humor, to create an unforgettable speech. The final product is respectful and poignant while also playful and hilarious.

Don't be put off or intimidated by the word 'roast. Just about all funny Best Man speeches are really roasts, the word meaning making good-natured jokes at a person's expense as a way to honor them. Unless you know that your honorees and audience have very rough, uncensored tastes, you'll probably want your funny Best Man speech to have a moderate tone and spectrum of content, rather than a no-holds-bared, HBO, late night Comedy Central Roast feel.

Having a personalized, relevant, detailed and explosively Best Man roast speech will not only make you the Best Man look incredible, it will be the ultimate loving tribute to the groom, and create an unforgettably amazing wedding experience for all the guests.

Every keynote speech is vastly improved by the addition of humor.

Often, in a corporate or company environment you may be required to “roast” your employees who are being recognized for outstanding performance or a job title promotion. Companies based on a franchise model often have dinners and events honoring top performing franchisees. Quarterly or annual sales meetings usually require a structured presentation upfront to set the tone and agenda and, as with any business-related communication done in the spotlight in front of a group, it is not worth leaving the impact and impression made up to chance.
