My Favorite Graduation Speech Ever

This kid from East Jessamine High School gives a hilarious graduation speech complete with Southland knocks and off-color jokes.

[@Nachtopus]

Those wet dream jokes were pretty ballsy.

[@orinpemulus1441]

+metalmusician6798 He could have meant peed the bed. That's for the audience to decide and makes them acceptable.

[@user-em9mw9ch3y]

You need balls to do that..... and that too

[@TheCL0WN96]

I feel sorry for the guy/girl that has to come up after him, knowing their speech definitely isn't going to top that.

[@daniellelee5766]

I was probably looking at the woman at the bottom corner more than him LOL

[@dustinsattarelle5783]

Danielle lee she was not impressed about the wet dream joke haha

[@austinfreeman128]

+dustin sattarelle 😂😂😂 yeah

[@kiki-db2ru]

+Danielle lee me too

[@ExtacyOfThinking]

+Danielle lee "The student teacher relationship is no longer a problem" sure crossed her mind once or twice..

[@sasquach2488]

me too she looks so confused

[@fuckametrogronkcunt2917]

People say school was the easiest part of your life. Bullshit.

[@Sugarsweet494]

Especially high school

[@Hiphopopotamus123]

Hahahah I bet you're 12

[@fuckametrogronkcunt2917]

Implantedclub No im 6 and i cant play with blocks

[@Hiphopopotamus123]

Hahahahaha fair play to you sir

[@JimmyT132]

IDK Dj, It sure was for me.

[@LGR1101]

That teacher sitting on stage went through an emotional journey with this speech.

[@2ndnature802]

This guy has perfect delivery.

[@huiosjr]

Natural. Not perfect. With work though....

[@Dabket3araB]

His speech was so good that it caused a financial recession few weeks later.

[@ayaanfarooqi5599]

Dabket3araB 😂😂

[@busterblader200]

Has anyone else paid attention to the girl on the bottom right?

[@ethanplatas]

haha yes

[@mikedumais]

How in the world could you ignore her? :)

[@youssifkhald1138]

م

[@yumandsuggs6942]

2:39 how her facial expression changes when she realises what he's saying LOL

[@jaydenthompsonauthor]

"These should not be the best 12 years of your life. That is a pain that I do not wish upon any of my enemies. If CATS testing and portfolios are the best years of your life, then you have done something wrong." ~Best quote about school ever

[@konyvnyelv.]

In work you'll do even worse!

[@dohoangquan35]

"No, not that dream, don't worry". HAHAHAHAAAA

[@cassidylouwerens7061]

Why the hell are people commenting asking rude questions like "What fast food restaurant does he work at now?" That kid was the Valedictorian and worked his ass off to get his moment on that stage. If there's any high school student you shouldn't say that to, It'd be him. Some of y'all are basing your judgement on his intelligence only on how he looks. He has obviously proven himself to be a very smart, hard-working young man. Who are you to take that away from him because you don't like his hair? Stupid

[@shane.stryker]

No but he is a validictorian at east freaking jessamine.... You don't live in Kentucky and I do and I know that east is on the bottom of the list for education....

[@bisacool7339]

SibSixGaming so your basing your conclusion about the school's capabilities in judging their student?? SHAME!

[@hamatoyoshi8711]

he would make a great actor at a comedy sitcom

[@addicTix]

Well, he's an actor. It's Diego Boneta. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diego_Boneta

[@zachwolfe6071]

addicTix Lol what? That kid is from Jessamine County, Kentucky. It's most likely his name is not Diego.

[@alexpurnell2934]

Zach Wolfe That's definitely him bro

[@yunianiceto9805]

Hamato Yoshi diego boneta, he's an actor now :)

[@rankedskywars]

@@addicTix bro what ur telling me he released an album in portuguese his sophomore year? ok

[@DavidSSabb]

This man managed to fit every joke I've ever heard in any graduation speech into one, and then some.

[@RamtinErKul]

?how the fuck did i end up here

[@laurenobrien2812]

Kanan Jackson I'm asking myself the same thing

[@jfarrell85]

I've fallen down the KZbin wormhole too!! HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!

[@aimeecakes9043]

so that is where I am.. huh

[@randomgirlonyoutube5852]

Kanan Jackson same

[@louisiananlord17]

"If CATS testing and portfolios are the best things about your lives, your lives are miserable." Truer words have never been spoken. :p

[@konyvnyelv.]

They're the best thing of my life and I am proud of it

[@NickLockard1]

What a fucking legend

[@7eis]

not sure why I watched this to the end.

[@isaiahcampbell3992]

Class of 2017 right here!

[@hayliegillilan6155]

Me too!!!!

[@gabrielclayton1653]

Same

[@jaylovestesla1099]

Me too!

[@bradleyporter5454]

2019 :(

[@MrKidcuttie]

Same here

[@XxmizlatinaxX]

'' don't cry because its over , smile because it happened '' true :'')

[@ryan9570]

this guy would make a great toastmaster at any public or corporate event!

[@PeterGregg]

Wow, finally a really great speech! I see so many that say "best graduation speech ever" and they are nice, but this one really lets a boy shine that would not only make his parents proud, but the classmates that actually know him, or don't know him, all want to be friends with this guy. He is grade A stock, never heard of him, will never meet him, but I already love him and would want him as a friend. Thumbs up, whoever you are. Your heart is big enough to take in a whole school. I hope you soar in life, and don't forget to love God that made you so damn cool 👍👍👍

[@JovenesUnidosenCrist]

Did "Kick Ass" finally graduate high school?

[@OpticCookies01]

Lol

[@ieLindy]

This guy speaks from the heart. Probably one of the reasons this is such a good speech.

[@LTMCMedia]

For the record, I am going to college, sorry if you lost that bet. LMAO

[@alandolawson1924]

I was in the 2nd grade at that point in time, transitioning to the 3rd. Damn, time flies!

[@TheKreagster]

Thanks John for such a memorable graduation! Class of '08!

[@A1a8l5h9a8d]

I wish I could go back then in time and relive all these years again having my present conciousness

[@ruheejuv121]

[@mongoosekhan3079]

Tomorrow is my chemistry exam and I am watching graduation videos LOL

[@Just_HereLOL]

[@Just_HereLOL]

[@dairysmoreta6108]

Same here, I just need some motivation! Preparation for college ughhh!

[@nicciveroni5730]

i got a history test tom

[@Matthew-qh9ds]

He sounds and looks like Josh from drake and josh

[@sydmc2525]

That was a great speech...humorous, but serious at the same time. Great job!!

[@barbarahawk6476]

That was a great speech, young Sir. Good Luck In all you accomplish in your lifetime.

[@woodencan]

Don't let your dreams be dreams. Just do It

[@lila151]

I was watching a hopeless video on how to get you cat to like you and I ended up here. I'm not complaining...

[@rebekkahparsons7592]

As I am getting ready to graduate tonight, I am watching these videos. This one makes me so excited to graduate. Here's to the class of 2013.

[@archiecook55]

I was laughing and clapping along with the audience here behind my computer, love this speech. :)

[@jacksondenton6916]

Well thanks sidewalks for keeping me off the streets

[@mandyd6141]

I have no idea how I got here haha but this was great :)

[@Chronas9.9]

i love this guy and this year

[@idoforensics]

Hahaha! I was just browsing speeches because I have to give one tonight. I didn't know I would someone end up watching Mr. Maloney's speech! I didn't know he spoke but job well done.

[@uscman3]

This dude rocks

[@frankbriggs9068]

This kid is awesome, honest, funny and true.

[@bboi9421]

The woman in the background, when he said he won't have to change is sheets, face is priceless!

[@SuperKpill]

definitely better than most graduation speeches I've heard... especially high school graduation speeches

[@evanheath7571]

He should be a stand up comedian!!!

[@pengwyn.e]

He totally should!!

[@makeitmodded]

Just realized this is Highschool.. Highschool isn't a milestone, its the beginning of your grave =P

[@makeitmodded]

***** Na... Just 4:00 in the morning. You know how it is.

[@whoogoesthere]

This cracked me up. Good speech!

[@houseofpain4]

this is priceless.. i love it! good job.

[@GabrielMartinez-ec1il]

the teacher's face at 2:35 is hilarious!

[@haydenjessup]

congratulations, you have completed the easiest part of your life.

[@Venom312]

Bre Richardson Sorry to hear about your parents and congrats on the GPA, but the statement is still true. Aside from extenuating circumstances, high school as it is, is simply a matter of attending and 'getting through' it. You have to actively work at not succeeding, whereas everything else requires work to succeed.

[@haydenjessup]

Wasn't that hard, wait until you hit University. :) biggest wake up call.

[@brerichardson1866]

What? You just hit your wake up call at university? I attend NYU for Biochemistry and to be honest. It's tough. But it definitely wasnt high school. So much drama in highschool. so much wanting to quit. Where here there is no point in giving up. all my classes are quite nicely scheduled and I can do my homework easier than high school. Seems like you had to do some growing up to realize your wake up call later. You're pretty ignorant though. To make a such a simple statement on a subject that dwarves and ultimately decides peoples lives. So many kids drop out of highschool and have to get a GED. yeah people drop college but college is something you decide. Highschool you truly have to do, otherwise your life if going to be even worse.

[@haydenjessup]

I was educated in Australia, and I live in Australia. now, what you study than rather when you went to school is totally irrelevant and different ball game. for me, school was fun and not so challenging, and i had good friends that i have left with, and ill be honest, I commented on this video with my opinion and nothing else, i wasn't being ignorant i was stating the truth. you on the other hand are the ignorant one, you must of found school challenging and a very anti social but nothing in this world comes free and nothing is thrown our way. you might learn that some day :). id love to play keyboard warriors with you, but you're not worth my time.

[@SSDecontrol94]

Hayden Jessup Cool story, bro.

[@beatlesfreak89]

Why couldn't the graduation speech I had to sit through be as awesome as this one?

[@Dollfacesammy]

aww he is great. I remember that it was great. I miss highschool.

[@lordtomosdecree]

It must be hard for this guy to put on a hair net when working at mcDonalds

[@SiderFace]

Dude. This is a speech typically given by the valedictorian. So, your joke makes no sense. Its really just random. You could make the McDonald's joke at any time, and target any person. To make it specifically here means very little, and doesn't hit the mark.

[@lordtomosdecree]

SiderFace I felt i needed to express my opinion about hair net and him working at mcdonalds :)

[@kakairuislove]

Are you just going around to graduation speeches commenting about them working at McDonalds because I swear this is the 3rd time i've scene you say the exact same thing. Were you a promising valid Victorian? Did you completely fail? Because I have a feeling you're just attacking these people out of self hatre.

[@lordtomosdecree]

Timex Lordx I passed English, because you know, I can use the word "seen" not "scene" BURN

[@kakairuislove]

lordtomosdecree Burn? Are we three? Sure my spelling is a sin and my grammar is actually a crime against humanity but I am very successful in life because I play on my strengths. I can take a computer apart and put it back together in about 5 minutes and do things with crime scene evidence that would make your head explode. But I suspect you are someone who never learned to play their strengths because you seem like a miserable person. Why do you feel it necessary to find videos of very smart, motivated people cheering on the future and comment that they are working at McDonalds? My guess is that you actually work at McDonalds but you were told your whole life that you were special. Did one of the people who you used to bully or someone you seen as below you come in and order some fries? Why so bitter?

[@veronicafayne6884]

My cousin graduated from east jessamine high school in 2009

[@eniyaleigh2334]

Yavicpe that is so wrong.

[@SuperJChiu]

Fucked up.

[@blakedavis7870]

No he wasn’t

[@masrurtehzib556]

Awesome. Best speech ever.

[@MikeJustDidit]

[@D3m0nDoG]

6:07 that woman was like ... true story :(

[@firebluewood4064]

The most truest speech ever

[@cintra1454]

The most of the bad worstest grammar..... Thats what ur comment looked like to me

[@bloocrest3577]

White Shadow ...Dude that comment does not have a grammatical error in it. Get out of the internet if you don't even know whats wrong and whats right. Also check your spelling, i don't think "ur" is spelled that way.

[@verdejazz]

Wow it was amazing, this guy has a gift, I wish I could make such a speech, I have mine next week and I haven't even written it...

[@LittleMissTwizzler]

I gotta hand it to this kid: hilarious yet meaningful top notch speech

[@jeffreygray4670]

Where is this guy now?

[@joychowdhury2440]

This guy is already a millionaire, doing stand-up comedy and a storyteller.

[@beatriceghattas4801]

This IS the best graduation speech ever!

[@VancouverEdge]

So glad to be from this school.

[@hatemkhrouf8955]

His name is Diego Boneta , he is now an actor/singer

No he isnt Diego. Diego Boneta is from Mexico, went to school there and won a Tv show for child actors, then made a kids oriented telenovela.

[@aaronboyle8424]

Why are there so many jerks on the internet? If calling him lame then why are you browsing around for 'inspirational graduation speeches' and not just watching cat videos? I personally thought he was funny, and if it isn't you kind of entertainment then keep it to yourself.

[@kimberlyzuluaga]

Yes.

[@TheScottybomber]

Almondstash He's an actor :) When he was in college he had hair incredibly similar to this mans, so in a thumbnail, it's easy to mistake the two :)
