Best man jokes play a very important role in a best man speech as humor will be anticipated by the wedding guests and you wouldn’t want to let them down now would you? In a previous article we counted down to the 4 funniest best man jokes so it is worth casting you eye over that post if you have an upcoming best man speech.

Entertaining the wedding guests and the wedding party is very important but it is also important that you have some fun when giving the best man speech and the use of good jokes will keep everyone entertained.   Jokes can come in the form of funny stories, best man pranks, props for a best man speech or through traditional jokes for a best man’s speech.

As a best man expert I should warn you that you should not use vulgar material in your jokes, good-natured ribbing works much better.  Be mindful to keep jokes short particularly when giving short best man speeches.  You should also use a variation on the type of joke such as one-liners, puns, funny marriage advice etc.

Being the generous guy that I am here are 3 more best man jokes about being married to help you sail through your best man speech with ease.

1. I am married and there are some things about my wife that I don’t understand for example she cannot open the tiniest however she is an expert at slamming heavy doors shut.

2. A young couple were cuddling on the couch watching TV when the woman says “honey, let’s pretend we are married”. The man replies “perfect, make me a sandwich and a fresh cup of coffee and give the remote so I can put on the sports channel.”

3.  A devoted wife said “honey if I could rearrange the alphabet I would put U and I side by side”, the husband replied “funny that, as I would put C and U together.”

Great best man speeches use funny jokes as the inspiration for their success, so make sure your best man toast is crammed with funny jokes to ensure that you are on the receiving end of a great reception once your speech is over.

Short best man speeches should be the highlight of wedding toasts and as such need to be full of great content for the wedding guests to enjoy. In previous posts we looked at short best man speeches for a brother and icebreakers for short best man speeches today we continue that theme by looking at ideas that can be used to great effect in a short best man speech.

                                                                                                                                         1) Horoscope jokes.

Check the horoscopes of the groom before comparing his personality in relation to the description provided with the horoscope.  Making up the horoscope to profile the exact opposite of the groom’s personality will have the wedding guests smiling broadly.  For even more laughter bring a newspaper as a funny prop for best man speeches and pretend you are reading the horoscope from that.

 2) Explain why the groom is set apart from everyone else.

Everyone has got a characteristic unique to themselves so share with the guests a trademark trait that the groom has, then build a short story around it.

3) Show your romantic side.

The best man speech should not be purely about the groom, so be sure to say complimentary words about the bride and to get loud applause from the audience present her with a bouquet of flowers on behalf of yourself and the groomsmen. This is not part of the best man’s duties but will be well-received by the guests and the bride herself of course.

4) Be funny not insulting.

Best man speeches should be loaded with humor though make sure your speech doesn’t come across as being insulting. Stick to funny best man jokes and witty one liners for laughter. Remember not to worry about whether the groom will feel insulted, instead consider if the bride could be insulted or if the groom’s parents might get offended, either scenario you don’t want happening.

                                                                                                                                                                         5) Talk about how much the bride and groom love each other.

As you come towards the end of your speech share a quick story that highlights how much the bride and groom love each other and why they are a perfect match. This will be a nice build-up to the toast at the end of your speech.

                                                                                                                                                       The best short best man speeches are not only hilarious but also written in such a way that the best man charms everyone in attendance leading to a sensational ovation at the end of the best man toast.
