Funny best man speeches are a staple of any great wedding and if you have been given the task by the groom then you are under pressure to deliver. Deliver a speech that is too dry and serious and you will disappoint a lot of people, but if you try and be funny and fail badly then you will be left looking pretty foolish.

It is a fine balancing act and even worse can be if you offend the happy couple or their families. A typical wedding will have people of different ages and backgrounds so you need to cater for everyone. This is a job that not even a stand up comedian would relish.

But on the upside, if you get it right then you will get the praise of the entire room and will make a lot of people happy. The best man can be the high point of a wedding so you need to make sure you have a flawless speech that has the right level of funny moments and touching moments.

If you do not know where to start you should think about any funny anecdotes from your past. If you have known the groom for a long time it is always good to have a story from a while ago. Be sure you do not offend anybody though or reveal anything that will get him in trouble.

Also, the most enjoyable funny best man speeches often end on a touching moment that shows how much the couple are in love. If you can capture this briefly then you will blow away the crowd.
