Top 3 Most Memorable Best Man Speeches in Movie History

Today we take a break from the serious stuff, allowing all you budding Best Men to put your feet up and revel in the humor of the Top 3 Most Memorable Best Man Speeches in Movie History. I would not encourage anyone to use any of the quotes from these movies in your own speech however, as they are littered with profanities, but if you get a chance do try and catch these movies as these scenes are sure to put a smile on you face.

 
Steve Buscemi in The Wedding Singer

Buscemi’s cameo role as Best Man in The Wedding Singer was a scene-stealer in every sense. This uncredited role sees Buscemi in all his glory as Best Man at his brother’s wedding, with a very large chip on his shoulder about his father. His speech sneers with jealousy, drips with spite but his short speech, less than 2 minutes, remains one of cinema’s most memorable Best Man speeches.

Sample line “You’ll be divorced in a year.”

Hugh Grant in Four Weddings And A Funeral

Back in 1994 when Hugh Grant was best known for his acting, he gave one of movies most endearing Best Man speeches in Four Weddings And A Funeral. Given his character’s bumbling personality it was somewhat ironic that the future Mr.Bean, Rowan Atkinson, was one of the guests at the wedding.

Sample line “This is the second time I have been Best Man, I hope I did okay that time. The couple in question are at least still talking to me, unfortunately they are not actually talking to each other, their divorce came through a couple of months ago.”

Luke Wilson in Old School

In this frat-pack comedy Luke Wilson gives a very short Best Man speech until Vince Vaughn wrestles the microphone off him before he can do any more damage. Juvenile? possibly, funny? certainly, memorable? most definitely.

Sample line “True love is hard to find, sometimes you think you have true love and then you catch the early flight home from San Diego and a couple of nude people jump out of your bathroom blindfolded.”

I may not have included your favorite Best Man speech from the big screen, so if that is the case feel free to let me know.

On Tuesday we are back to the serious stuff as we look at “Famous song-lyrics suitable for a Best Man Speech.”
