Wedding speeches are great occasions for making your audience laugh. Choose a funny topic such as "The Top 10 Lies Men Tell on Dates," "The Best and Worst Things About Married Life" or "What You Can Expect From your New Mother-in-Law." You might come up with a topic based on the personal experiences of the new couple, such as "Why We Thought (insert name) Would Never Marry" or "The Top 10 Things About (insert name) That I'll Bet You Didn't Know."
Depending on the tone of your workplace, a humorous speech can go over very well. If you feel it is appropriate, take some good-taste jabs at your boss with topics such as "The Worst Things About Working for (insert name)" or "Why Our Boss Will Never Win Boss-of-the-Year." Other funny topics for the workplace include "The Smelliest Things People Have Brought in for Lunch," "The Top 10 Annoying Habits of People at Work" and "Reasons We Know this Company Will Never be Number One."
People are often asked to make speeches at occasions for a friend, such as birthday parties, retirement parties, anniversary parties or a holiday party. Roast your friend without embarrassing him with such topics as "Things that (insert name) Does that Drives his Friends Crazy," "Why I Would Never Be Friends with (insert name) if Given the Choice," or "A Funny Story about (insert name) that He Doesn't Want you to Know."
If you are asked to give a speech in front of your class or your school, make it funny by choosing a topic such as "A Funny Thing My Pet Did," "My Most Embarrassing Moment" or "The Worst Jokes Ever." You can also make a funny speech about school and teachers, but be sure to make it in good fun and not hurt anyone's feelings. Good topics include "Why are Teachers So Weird?," "The Worst Rules at This School" and "Why Homework Doesn't Work."
