This is Will Ferrell's commencement speech at Harvard. Pretty funny.
"I had the chance to play or impersonate some very interesting people, none more interesting than our current President, Mr. George W. Bush. Now in some cases, you actually have contact with some of the people you play. As a byproduct of this former situation, the President and myself have become quite good friends. In fact, I might even call him a father figure of sorts, granted a dim-witted father figure who likes to take a lot of naps and start wars, but a father figure nonetheless. "
"Apparently, the Berlin Wall went back up because we now live in Russia." Good stuff. I have no idea who spoke at my graduation. Joe Zalis and I cracked jokes through the whole thing. But I know the person wasn't funny.

I was also the only person in the entire auditorium with jeans on. They said to "dress comfortably"... at least I didn't show up in sweatpants.
