A lot of bad jokes. A handful of geeky references. And maybe a few words of "advice" to the graduating class of 2012 at UC San Diego's Sixth College.
Special Thanks:
Dan Donoghue - Sixth College Provost
Marciano Perez, Jr. - Sixth College Dean
Marye Anne Fox - UCSD Chancellor

Who came from Phil's speech
🙋
me!
✋
I came from Phils
I liked Wes when I was watching it but now I think Phils was much better
me
You cant spell Awesome without Wes.
Dakota Tobias OMG! This sentence just got such a new meaning with Tailor Swift’s song ‘Me!’ 😂
Haha good one
Wes pulls off awkwardness so well!!
I thought so too
"The world is changing and we need to change with it."
-Wesley Chan, 2012
I love that guy to the left, the way he responds to every joke, the way he obviously took multiple pictures of the moment. He understands.
i thought the exact same thing!
He is the president of the alumni association!
Thank you everyone! Still so honored to have experienced this!
I watched this when I entered college and I watch Phil's when I graduate!
really?? So cool! congratulations on graduating!
4 years. That's tight lol
As I am watching this video, my mom walks in handing me my acceptance letter to UC San Diego. It also happens that I got into sixth college. Am I dreaming?
How’s college goin for ya?
How's USSC 😄
we got phil we got wes we need ted to come back and do it
lol Ted's would be so funny
ya I really want Ted's speech
"I will encourage you not to just make a living, but to live to make something." -Wesley Chan
"How do you say Wongfu in sign language?"
**flashes back to Ted sucker punching a guy and running away saying "Wongfu 4 lyfe! Wongfu 4 lyfe!!!!"**
That sign Ted made...that's what I would use to say Wongfu in sign language
lol
If speeches started being like yours, I wouldn't mind listening to them at all
That awkward moment when Param tries to use correct grammar and says "mine" instead of "mind".
Grammar? Only in speeches :D
That one person who is laughing so I can't hear anything
#shutup
Game Guru Don't hate
OMG the college he graduated from is the EXACT same college my brother goes to. exact same college and division
I can see why Wes' advice to Phil was to move the tassel out of the way haha XD
Just found out Phil gave a speech to his own college this year! Had to come back to watch Wes' commencement speech to prep me for the upcoming video ;)
Saaaaame ahaha
Think I've fallen in love with Wes again. Don't know why I ever fell out of love with him before.. Loving his corny moments & I kept looking at the professor behind him to make sure he was laughing or nodding to make sure he's acknowledging Wes' speech.. Dont know why though >.>
rewatching it after phil's speech, now await for ted's!
Part of your speech was used today in the commencement of the 2014 UnOlympics! All of you were also mentioned in the Sixth College orientation. GO UCSD! ^_^
phil hahah "I'm just a roommate!!"
Starting my 5th year of college at UCSD in about two weeks. Thanks for all of you for coming to UCSD a couple months back before finals week, it was just as encouraging as this graduation speech. Y'all are honestly awesome for always coming back to your alma mater and giving back to the community!
this never gets old every time i watch it
this made me cry, hahaha. proud of where you guys are now
i can't stop looking at the professor behind him on the left to see if he's laughing or reacting to his speech
Aww this almost made me cry Wes. It's awesome and important to hear every once in awhile that everyone starts out in life with struggles but if u just stay true to yourself and what u want your life path to be that anything is possible. And for me currently being a college student, it means a lot. You have given me a little bit more hope for my future. I send my love to all three of you guys, keep up the the amazingly creative work. Thank you.
I'm only just watching this NOW, and this truly made me tear. I'm graduating in a few months time, and am really stressed about the future and what I'm going to do, so this really is a lot of encouragement and help. Thank you Wes :)
Who else came here after watching wongfu's live lunch break?
Philip's laugh 😂
Congrats on a great speech Wes! Such a great speaker, and so humble! what a great opportunity to inspire, and yet another experience to add to the list of amazing unplanned moments. Congrats, inspiring even for us not-so-recent grads as well, still learning in the school of life.
Incredible commencement speech, well-said Wesley.
That's what I do when I have a bottle of water in my hand too! I can't help but keep drinking out of it even if I'm not thirsty!
Wow this is way more motivational than I thought it'd be. Wah thanks for the speech. I've recently graduated and I'm 20 and this speech of yours has reaffirmed my decision to work and the outlook that I should take when I'm working. Thank you so much Wes. You did great! 👍🏼 I might just be doing a written transcript of it HAHA to remind me of the good wise words youve said ;)
this motivates me a lot. i watch it whenever i feel like giving up while trying to reach my goal thank you wes
This honestly gave me so much hope and inspiration for when I attend this school in the fall. Definitely a prouder Triton after this one. You guys are amazing :)
Wes your so funny, thoughtful and smart 😍😍😍
dude, you lost me at "Ariel's dad" X'D
hear, hear 😁😁
I went online to look for speeches to listen and learn from, and Wes, it wasn't just how to speak publicly, or was it how to use bad jokes, but it was how you fulfilled your dream, and how you know it's possible for us to fulfill ours
much thanks wes~
This was so touching and i almost cried. I love wong fu productions and wes is lucky to be where he is now
I like how the man in the blue shirt's expression changed from smiling into a trying-hard-not-to-cry one at 14:37
WES is sooo cute
Lol
X
Awesome speech!
i'd love to watch/ hear all the Wes speech!
I almost tear up, well actually I did. Your speech is so entertaining and yet inspirational. Thanks so much!
omg Wes is so funny
i'm surprised he made so many jokes, awkwardly
way more than Phil did
Wes you are just as awesome in your passion,really shows how you can deliver and relate to the newly grads.Great Speech!
Amazing speech Wes. Loved it! I was smiling through the entire video! Just as you had wished the class of 2012, I also wish you and Wong fu great success in everything you guys pursue in the future! :)
Didn't think it was possible to love you even more. Such wise words. \/\/ongfu for Life!
"Anxiety, anxiousness.." Ha wes you silly billy
I LOVE Wesley Chan of Wong Fu Productions's UCSD Commencement speech because it's really about what we do in the real world, adapt, trail and error, and add value for the world. Good job Wes on the speech!!
I´m just finishing the school this year and I´m not lying. This gave me a lot of advices and encourage...Thank you Wes :)
Haha can I hear Phil laughing behind the camera? cute :)
aw wish phil had done annotations. ;)
that was the most inspiring, emotional, and funny speech i have ever heard!
hope you guys keep doing what you do best!
i am so touched i love wong fu so much and wes is so lucky to be where he is now!!!!!!
Has Ted given a commencement speech?
Nope! Hopefully USCD asks him to make one in the future :)
+StephaniePhan no offense but it UCSD not USCD
Holly Tran oops, sorry, didn't see my typo
He's so awkward I love it!
I feel so proud! Like I just watched a big brother make a speech or something! I love you Wes!
im graduating this year too. ( actually this week) so watching this feels like Wes was giving the speech directly to me! yay for the class of 2012!!!

"You should all be Ironmen and women." Wesley Chan 2012

this just made me love wes even more. great speech!
i literally listened to a whole speech on the history of wong fu...=DD
the best speech i ever heard in my life! you go wes!
"what's your plan," I hate the question so much!!!!
good speech Wes! jokes were hilarious
This was so motivational! I really needed this video right now. Thank you :)
It is amazing at how hard we think life is at present, only to grow older and realize how much we didn’t know.
i keep hearing that one girl's laugh. damn she's fan!
Wally Haha, I think it's Christine!
After one year I found you!!
who's the guy that introduced Wes? I got an awesome quote from him " nothing worth doing is ever easy "
Tiny Babbles "Anything worth doing in life is worth overdoing, moderation is for cowards"
aWESome speech! been sharing this to my students and co-teachers.
You are great! Love Wangfu Productions!
wes is so awkward but cute
phil catch your breathe there lol
...as I eat hot Cheetos lol. great job Wes!!!
Wow this just makes Wes all the better
One of the best and entertaining speech I've ever heard!!! Good job Wes!!!
The guy on the left looks like an older version of Ned from the Try guys (BuzzFeed).
Wes... You're awesome. :) Your jokes too :D
Wes is amazing! Best commencement speech I've yet hear!
awesome speech and congrats on the opportunity!
dat ironman joke tho. loved it xD
Which was better: Wes' or Phil's speech?
phil's is less awkward but theyre both great
Can't compare. Each has his own style...and BOTH ARE GREAT👍👊♡♡
Phil's had more hard hitting points imo. It was about what students should aim for not only in academics, but life in general. Wes's speech was more vague, funny, and lighthearted.
I like Phil's.
Wesss
Hahaha! I love your speech, it constantly made me laugh, yet had so much meaning. WongFu for life! :)
very inspiring. love yall wong fu productions!
lol wes's comments
The jokes, lmao. That was pretty badd hahaha but you, Wes, are frigin awesome!
i wasn't planing to watch the whole thing, but once i started i couldn't stop.
I'm reciting your speech for my Public Speaking class. We're reciting speaking that we find inspiring. Thank you so much for being you.
oww Wes, I knew you'd joke around haha
How long was the actually speech?
I really needed that. 'Encourage you not to just make a living but to live to make something'
Thanks wes!
Love this speech so much.
This is so cringe worthy. omg. xDDDDD
Watching this after my HS graduation still had a great impact. Loved the jokes! LOL
what an amazing speech. so grateful you guys shared it with us :')
This was so inspiring, I showed my whole family this speech
