Most awkward best man speech I've ever heard was at a wedding in South Dakota. The groom's extended family was Lebonese and very, very conservative. Many of them had flown over for the wedding.

The best man phrased his speech as advice to the bride, like "I've taken care of him to this point, now it's your job, here's how you do it." Which is a novel idea, except he aired allll the dirty laundry like:

Sometimes Alex will eat too many 'shrooms and you'll have to take him to the ER to get his stomach pumped. Sometimes Alex will smoke too much weed and you'll have to get him to put pants on before going out in the snow.

This went on and on, to the point where the groom was pulling on the best man's arm to sit down and shut up.

My brother got married this past winter, and instead of a speech, my siblings and I surprised him with a serenade of "My Little Buttercup" from the 3 Amigos. It was very well received.

When writing that speech, you wonder if he ever stopped and asked himself if that was a good idea. Apparently not.

I was in a wedding party a couple months ago and witnessed the worst best man speech ever. It went on and on and on and went too far past razzing the groom. Didn't really mention the bride either. Just total lack of awareness.
