Funny Best Man Speeches, Humorous wedding toasts

"Hey everybody, I'm 'Brad', I was chosen as the best man, and hopefully the groom will give me a chance to prove it later, yeah baby..."

Well that's one way to begin a funny best man speech, but not every one has the personality to pull off such brave humor. And, certainly, the general atmosphere and character of the guests will determine just how far you can push things...

So as the best man you have one chance to make the most of the limelight. It's usually expected that the best man stands up and says some praising words about the groom and bride, how totally awesome they are, and every one is super confident that they'll live happily ever after. BORING!

Even more boring is when the best man rambles on about the past and all the guests are supposed to share in the nostalgia - even those who don't know them as intimately and certainly can't relate to half the stories being told. Too bad for the guests!

This is a once in a life time opportunity for you to shine, and give really memorable funny best man speeches. Read on for some recommended funny best men speeches.

Funny Best Man Wedding Speeches: The Basics

A humorous best man speech is one thing but being disrespectful and inviting criticism is another. So let's outline the 'do-nots' of a funny best man wedding toast.

• Don't make derogatory comments about the bride or the groom. Do watch the alcohol intake...After a few drinks many a best man has gotten a bit carried away by the attention and spilled some dark secrets.
• Don't make the wedding toast about yourself, it's their special day, not yours.
• Don't speak for too long, 3 to 5 minutes is fine. You might think you're Seinfeld up there but the guests may think differently.
• Don't tell intimate stories bout the bride and groom's very personal life. That may have been more appropriate at the bachelor's party...
• Don't use clichès and old jokes! Please, be original.
