The best comedians would be great to give funny best man toasts, but just because you aren't always cracking people up doesn't mean your own best man speech can't be funny. In fact, there are always ways to make people laugh.
At a wedding, you have a captive audience that wants to laugh. All you need to do is give them something to laugh about and that's pretty easy. You can borrow from other funny best man toasts if you like, by looking online for the best ones that are shown on video sites like YouTube. Or you might prefer to come up with your very own jokes.
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Try talking about how you met the bride or the groom. If you've known them for a while, you can tell a funny story from the past. It's best not to go with something super embarrassing, but it can be fun to get a little blush out of your best friend.
Joke about yourself. Say something like "What can you say about an amazing guy who has outdone himself in his career, been the best friend when everything went wrong . . . etc." then say, "Well, enough about me, let's talk about the groom!"
Find some quotes on marriage and use them. There are some very good ones out there and a quick search on Google will turn up great quotes. You could also use quotes from a movie, if appropriate. There are a number of great movies that joke about marriage, so use them to your advantage.
There are a number of ways to come up with funny best man toasts, even if you aren't normally that witty. Plan ahead, write your main points down in case you forget or get too nervous and then go for it. People will love you!
