Awesome Funny High School Graduation Speech......
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APdSHPBPLLY


I chose this speech to show because well, i thought it was just great. This reminds me of my school so much. First of all, there are a lot of kids at my school, many of them which are hilarious. The boy giving this speech in the video I feel is one of those kids who doesnt have to try hard to be funny. To me, thats the funniest person to get to know.

 I think that it is funny because the fact that he messes up a lot and always makes little filler noises makes it more entertaining. The fact that it is so informal is so awesome! He makes me feel like I could get up in front of people and give a graduation speech. He makes it look so easy! Even when he messes up, he admits to it. This kid must really know what he is doing becuase everything he says turns out to be funny, even though it may not be. He uses his facial expressions to his advantage a lot of the time.

Whenever he says something that is meant to be funny, he keeps such a straight face the whole time. For some reason, this is something that appeals to many people. Its very funny, but we dont really know why. It would be so hard for me to keep a straight face throughout the whole speech if I was telling jokes.
