"I attended the Minority Executive Program this summer at Yale. You guys, I'm like, really smart now." - Kelly Kapoor

[@siddhartharoy179]

"I'm Kelly Kapoor, The Business Bitch"

[@choblgobblrr1074]

Sid The diet bitch, the fashion bitch

[@kiky.mp4]

It's ironic because Yalies are known to detest harvard lmao

[@caterinarodriguez5668]

The wit and dryness in her humor is just so brilliant. Well played Mindy Kaling, well played.

[@ananyabali]

Caterina Rodriguez , couldn't agree more😊

[@keikoyukimura06]

Caterina Rodriguez nah she ain’t funny

[@hellogoodbye4061]

If you term Mindy Kaling "brilliant", you certainly set the bar low in this regard.

[@livdreams]

I thought she gave a really great speech, especially for someone who, let's face it, was in a really tough spot. People know she went to Dartmouth and translates Latin for fun, so she can't pretend not to be smart - but she also has no connection to the law, so she can't really talk about being a lawyer or the value of law school or whatever. And she's a comedy writer, so people expect her to be funny, but on the topic of Harvard Law School. In my opinion, her job was significantly harder than Preet Bhrarara's, and she did pretty well.

[@eighteensixtyfour19]

I agree

[@sheshiechan]

I loved how she gave commentary on how we shouldn't listen to advice from celebrities, and we should listen to those who are educated in that area. Also how people like this are the ones who are the ones who will either bring about change that benefits the people, or benefits big business, Pharma etc.

She didn't lie.

[@angelicavieyra2011]

I'm so happy she saw an Elle Woods moment and took it.

[@vliciouss]

And now she’s writing Legally blonde !

[@nehatheturtle543]

This speech made me forget that I'm not a Harvard law graduate :(

[@harrypotteravenclaw]

polandbananas20 lol imagine finding you here

[@BiancaMcCloud]

harrypotteravenclaw I just said the same thing. I was like, “Christine?”

[@eunkyochoi2238]

"You are all nerds. All of you." Haha. Love her speech.

[@philmarlin6204]

She seems smart, she should be an actor.

[@akanshashankar8589]

I know right!!

[@Name-bu8hj]

Omg yes!!!

[@Cbessette]

She is. She played in the office 🙄🙃

Amy trust me anyone who watches this is😂

[@iMusikkForeva]

Mindy Kaling is so down to earth. I really admire her personality, even after such success.

[@kimothemo]

Ryan used me as an object.

[@pragatisingh2884]

🤣🤣

[@taraz6786]

God Mindy is absolutely brilliant.

[@japieee]

"You will defend BP from birds". That killed me.

[@itsboyaknow]

japieee Dang I guess I missed that part

[@spaceinvad0r]

"law gets in the way of justice" this. is truth.

[@1WilliamM1]

Watching the reactions of the woman behind her is almost as entertaining as Mindy's speech.

[@orgasplosion]

+William Mason hahahahaha

[@EllenMoment25]

I love Mindy! Her speech was hilarious & touching.

[@zoozoozaazaa]

Whenever I hear "Harvard" it just reminds me of these: "suits, Mike Ross, Harvey Specter, suits"

[@n9539]

same lmfao

[@Maggi1494MP]

"itunes may own my ovaries for all i know" hahaha best part, loved her speech

[@Jaylieee]

Mindy is my spirit animal. I love you MIndy

[@hamood23344]

so you're saying she's an animal to you ?

[@lovebunnykaz]

Her life is so dramatic and I love it.

[@ILoveCindyLee]

After watching this speech, I can't look at the Harvard Law School logo and not see asparagus anymore.

[@yonghengang2344]

I died when the cameraman zoom out the screen when she made that asparagus joke 😂

[@fabianmcintyre5901]

I like Mindy too. She's beautiful, funny, and inspirational. Beside the fact that she is awesomeness-I want to be a lawyer. And Harvard Law school is a great law school; nonetheless, the out standing Law Professors, and the wonderful resources that are available aren't the revelation of my future. My faith and action, my abilities and determinations as well as hard work determines what kind of lawyer I will be as well as every future lawyer.

[@asmital7160]

How did it go!!

[@IndusBee]

All the best.. 🌟

[@lu_nope]

"...You are all NERDS!" Got me ded laughinggg 😂😂

[@1mikon]

She is funny, intelligent and cute.

Great speech

[@terryyoung7258]

I love your curves

[@The8Ronin]

Terry Young thanks i guess

[@riribebe5031]

Amin lmao

[@lawyersinconnecticut]

What a well delivered speech by Mindy Kaling. Harvard Law school should have her back next year to speak about lawsuits as she said she sues everybody anyway...Mindy graduated from Dartmouth College so she's no slouch in my opinion. Thanks Mindy

[@makeupshewore]

Mindy is awesome

[@kiwami2410]

I thought she was great. I know each person has their own sense of humor that they like, but I thought she did a good job. There were some moments that were so-so, but there were a lot of really good lines. It's hard to give a speech, even more so when asked to give one at commencement, so don't be too harsh on her. Keep up the good work, Mindy!

[@CarlyMFriesen]

A beautiful speech! (But I do believe that what she mentioned would be very possible in Canada, and many other countries in the world as well.)

[@juniordorsonne355]

Bbc hulkQ1QA

[@yehehe98]

Much more possible. In Ireland university is free for all, as is healthcare.

[@MeganTrombly]

Mindy is truly an inspiration. She's so down-to-earth, absolutely hilarious, and insanely intelligent. I aspire to be like her one day.

[@hellogoodbye4061]

Hopefully, eight years later, you are not like Kaling in any way, shape or form.

[@yogi30303]

Recommended to me 5 years later, lol. Great speech.

[@iago07]

She deserved more accolades, especially some Emmy love, for The Mindy Project. It was high quality for all 6 seasons. She’s very funny and smart and accessible.

[@ElliesWorld]

This is hysterical! Love Mindy :'D

[@jdd0815]

I love her so much. Such an inspiration 😍

[@CotyAJ]

I love this speech. I love Mindy so much. And she really is inspiring.

[@Nkswagboy]

Amazing is an understatement!

[@ilostsomethingonce]

She's so humble. She's so talented It's rediculous

[@ananyabali]

i have always been a straight A student and am always left in awe of this beautiful Female who just blends logic, intelligence and humour so effortlessly 😊😊

[@Dermatillomaniac]

Glad this is available on KZbin! Love Mindy...she's awesome!

[@harshitakaushal1863]

YES YOU GO MINDY KALING

[@LaLaitsLandry]

Lol this is the first graduation speech I've actually listened to fully throughout my entire life. 😂 I don't think any graduates really listen to speeches during the commencement. They spent their entire college years listening to too many lectures to actually pay attention during commencement day. #myThoughts #myOpinions

[@carrolwilliams7289]

It's been a great pleasure listening to you Mindy Kaling, you are plain brilliant.

[@julianelemes4571]

Fantastic Mindy!

[@willman85]

If it's any consolation to Dartmouth College, they did get a Harvard graduate in Conan O'Brien to give a speech. Thus equilibrium is restored.

That joke from the beginning, about her getting an honorary degree, I've heard it from Andy Samberg, also at Harvard.
