Yep, Thriller always works

See, all you need to get your reception crowd up to dance is Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” and a best man who’s more than happy to attempt to turn bridesmaids into zombies.

The Best Man: A Study In Opposites

So, something I’ve learned during the short time that Groomify’s been around is that there are most certainly two types of “best man” bits of content I find on the Web - stuff with really good best men that give great speeches and such, and stuff where the best man is a) groping the bride b) throwing up somewhere during a ceremony c) nowhere to be found or d) not really being the “best” at anything. Here, we present you with one of the former (read: great speeches) options, and one of the “c” variety, for your learning pleasure. Note: the latter is probably NSFW (that’s “not safe for work” for those of you who aren’t familiar), so if your workplace isn’t down with profanity, don’t let it fly.

First, we present you with the positive. It’s pretty witty and fun.

While I wouldn’t say for sure that it’s the “best” best man speech ever, it’s pretty darn good.

On the other hand, we have this particular situation. It should be noted that it was published by the groom, at least according to YouTube.

That’s just not good. Now, have we learned anything? I feel like I should be writing a “See Dick Run” thing here, but I’m not going there.

“Guy Love” at an April wedding

Check out the following rendition of “Guy Love” which some of you might know from NBC’s “Scrubs,” as sung by Trey and his best man, Mikey at a recent wedding.

This isn’t happening at my wedding.

You, too, will threaten to use this speech, won’t you?

Over at Heck Of A Guy, there’s one heck of a post about how to handle the ever important speech from the Best Man. Taken out of the equation should be anyone listening to Hugh Grant characters and the blatant use of what other people consider “funny” based on what you might find searching the Internet.

Obviously we’re still early on in Groomify’s life, but we’re already working to make a point of pointing to such things that other people have found funny but might not actually be. All that said, I highly recommend following a whole lot of the advice over there should you be in the position of having to give a speech at a good friend or relative’s wedding.
