Best man speeches are a perfect example of the phrase “You really had to have been there.” So much of speech’s success depends on the atmosphere in the room, the mood of the crowd, and other factors that can’t be conveyed in a video or audio recording.

On the other hand, if you’re preparing a best man toast, watching videos of other speeches can be useful. You can learn a bit about pacing, see which pitfalls to avoid, even steal a joke or two (we won’t say anything).

With that in mind, we’ve prepared this rundown of some of the best Best Man speeches we could find on YouTube. Whether you plan to savagely roast the groom, or smother the couple with sentimental good vibes, we’ve got you covered.
