Comedic actor and USC alumnus, Will Ferrell, delivered the 134th commencement address at the University of Southern California on May 12, 2017. #USCgrad
There was nothing better than getting this guy after a hard week of finals and a tough four years of college... it was a good graduation treat. You can get motivational speeches any time on youtube, but I'm so so glad I was there in person to be entertained and congratulated by this icon!!
nfinitiduck congratulations on your accomplishments!!
thanks man i appreciate it!
that is so sweet! well done on everything!! 😊
I double majored in political science and business.
nfinitiduck aye man that's what my major will be. any advice ? is business a good pairing ?
Was anybody else staring at how well the mic was staying perfectly hidden inbetween his shirt?
I was too mesmerized by his octoganal beret to notice that...
I am now

I'm already Doomfist 🎶
As a USC grad, I am happy that the school chose one of the funniest guys around for this occasion. He is awesome. Inspiring story.
1) He's funny.
2) He gave a damn good speech.
Its the fucking Catalina wine mixer but I gotta get me some boats and hoes

Our daughter graduated this year from USC, so we saw this wonderful commencement address. A great thanks to Will Ferrell, and to USC. Thank you for all that you are doing!
*Dr. Ferrell

Only a guy like Will Ferrell can make a 25 min commencement speech so entertaining.
One of the best commencement speeches I have ever heard. Will Ferrell is an amazing human being.
the best is ua-cam.com/video/pxBQLFLei70/v-deo.html///
He has the voice of an angel.
A mix between Fergie and Jesus.
He's been called the songbird of his generation.
its so beautiful. i cant even look at him right now :-(....
SithScorp Is that a step brothers reference?
for a second there..he actually took on the form of a unicorn for a second
The voice of an angel! A mix between Jesus and Fergie...
Matt Turner This is going to sound weird but...im pretty sure he I saw him take the shape of a unicorn
крест Лапотников it's a quote from step brothers numb skull
Matt Turner w
the songbird of a generation
Matt Turner 😂
Genius use of comedy and humor. He is a master of comedy and is able to share life changing moments. What a great celebrity commencement speech. Love the honorary doctorate and how he would use it to his advantage.
I love the part where he talks about his wife and kids being his true success
I loved this speech from former professional baseball player and drummer for RHCP, Will Ferrell
"Enjoy the process of your search w/o succumbing to the pressure of the result."
I love how people hate on a hilarious guy just because people messed up in school and are jealous
Yeah, but can they perform minimal invasion surgery from a windowless van? I think not!
10:35 Fascinating story! Love Will!
17:10 "What if I never tried at all?!"
22:50 "Enjoy the process of your search without succumbing to the pressure of the result. Trust your gut. Keep throwing darts at the dartboard. Don't listen to the critics and you will figure it out."
this man is a genius in his own way. props to you Will
So inspirational, I laughed my ass off! Congrats, DR. Farrell!
No worries! Dr. Ferrell can reattach that in his "surgical center".
Dr Chad Smith
3:15 a faint cowbell can be heard, I respect that person
Thank you, Will Ferrell. This 52-year-old recent Masters grad has heard your message and will continue to throw the darts until I get through the fear and complete my Juris degree... great voice by the way!
Great job, Will Ferrell!!!✌🏻
Julianne Meisen fart
Dr. Farrell.
I've never heard such a long sleeve that never once lost extreme humor. LOVE IT!!!!!!! SO LONG!!! WOW!!!
Stunningly brilliant, humble and hilarious.
Loved the speech & this meaningful quote:
"Enjoy the process of your search without succumbing to the pressure of the results."
This is a wonderful commencement address that everyone can enjoy.
Will Ferrell is wonderful !!!
Imagine him as a Dad and Husband. Hilarious! Just naturally witty!
Oh shut up you stupid bitch
There will never be another Will Ferrell. Protect this man at all costs
"You will never not be afraid." ❤
OMG!!!! My FAVORITE commencement speech EVER! What a gift Will Ferrell is to all of us! I haven't laughed this hard at a speech in a LONG time! LOVE him so much!!!
castroy64 You seem upset. Misery needs company.
castroy64 LOL I knew you were a trump turd! Hey, you tired of winning yet? Did you graduate from Trump University? How is that healthcare plan going for you? 🤣 I love it. I got some tears for you here, bud! Laughing away!!
castroy64 I never said anything about Hilary. You and Trump seem to be still stuck on that one. I love how your Carrot Cake Commander has nothing better to do than tweet about all people he dislikes. He can't run a successful business let alone this country. I don't mind him wasting his weekends golfing instead of actually trying to pass bills.
Check out Conan O'Brien's speech from a few years ago too, it's excellent.
disco you fucker. I tried to wipe the hair off my screen!
Dr. Ferrell, are you able to deliver babies? My wife is due in five months! haha. This speech was amazing!
Wow, commented a little too soon.. I guess he can! hahah
This is more relevant after the nasty editorial about Dr. Jill Biden.
Here is Will.

He's a comedic genius. Well he's always made me laugh anyway. I love the way he's never afraid to completely "commit" to his roles...
Agreed. Interestingly enough, one of my favorite of his roles is one of his serious ones when he did Stranger Than Fiction. Really creative movie
awesome and inspirational!!!! What a honor for him to return to his alma mater to give such a personal account of his journey after college!!! these students will always remember this moment!!!
What an utterly fantastic public speaker and amazing human being he is!
That was awesome! Love you Will Ferrell!
What ever you feel about him, He IS ...SUCCESSFUL! I bet someone in that graduating class was inspired and no one in that class will forget! Let this MASTER ENTERTAINER do what he does best in the City of Dreams!
If our commencement speech in high school was this entertaining, I may have remembered it!!! Love you did this for the Class of 2017!!
I want a movie with him parenting his kids. I feel like that would be hilarious.
How prescient of you. Its called Daddy's Home. Or were you being ironic?
Don't call me Dad, call me Dr. Ferrell. Priceless.
By far the greatest commencement speech ever.
My best friend was living at the Delta Tau Delta House when Will was there and when I would stop by in my patrol car (I was a Deputy for LA County) Will would always come out say hilarious stuff like “if i had drugs in my room you would have to have a warrant to search for them right?”. I went to a volleyball event at the fraternity and everyone was looking up at one of the balconies and Will was stark naked cheering on one of the teams. Long before he was famous my friend Rick was telling me stories about the hilarious stuff this guy would pull off. Years later I ran into him at Paramount Pictures where I was a threat assessment investigator, and he remembered me and we spoke at length. Truly a kind man and a rare talent.
Will Farrell is so brilliant! Loved his commencement speech!
Will you did an awesome speech and showed us you never gave up, kept at it until you made it, and then some. Hope all the grads can be as motivated and do great things in their lives.
Ok bot
@@westerling8436wat how dat a bot
Will was laying it down! He was getting to what matters more than any amount of knowledge or skill in any field of human endeavor. Emotional intelligence- empathy and compassion for other people! 85% of any gig is people skills! To all current students and USC alumni be the best version of you that you can and enjoy the journey! I salute you all!
Beautiful speech included humor and inspiration two amazing virtues
Honestly, he sings better than most people!
You're the man will ferrel! Thank you
the best graduation present ever 😂😂😂
Whenever I'm about to give up or feel doubt, i watch this and im back on track. All the way from South Africa.
He is my personal hero. I absolutely love this man.
I think the people complaining about the graduation are people who do not want to put the time and effort into getting something like what all these students got.
You might think Will Ferrell as a speaker was bad, but who cares about your opinion. You can clearly see all of these successful students being very very happy and full of joy.
The only sickening thing here are not the students, nor is Will Ferrell. It is you.
omg for 30y I couldn't "connect" with this song but it took Will Farrell - of all people Will Farrell - at an SC commencement to finally hit me! It takes a context, I suppose, and works even 3 decades later. I now truly appreciate the depth, the strength and gravity of this immensely beautiful, immensely powerful love song.
To this day, there still hasn’t been a better speech than Will’s. I wish it was longer, I can’t stop laughing and it’s the 11th time I have watched this lol
Amazingly perfect send-off message!
I laughed and I cried. So beautifully entertaining and genuine.
Fake
As a comedian, you are always funny to everyone. As an inspirational leader you inspire. You rock Will Ferrell.😉
Brilliant speech...thanks Dr Will....
Will Ferrell's an effing LEGEND!
Dr. Ferrell you mean.
Congrats to all the grads and alumni great job, God Bless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will was so funny!
This speech was funny, meaningful and motivational! Wonderful speech Dr. Ferrell!
what else to say?
This Dr.anchorman is simply a legend.
The only Doctor who never fails to make me laugh when he cracks jokes
Will is one of my favorite actor. This is how you have commencement. You go Will. I am waiting for your next movie
weirdly awesome.....
The two words that should be engraved his headstone :)
One of the best commencement speeches I've heard through the years! Well done Will Ferrell!
Dude, he must be the best dad.
Dr. Farrell 😉 did his wife & handsome princes for sons very proud, & of course, making them laugh their asses off! 😆
I stumbled across this video by accident. Not paying attention to the auto select feature and then hearing the university president announce Dr. Will Ferrell led to me make the decision "I can always click away to something else if I don't like it". But the artful way he wove comedy, hard-earned wisdom gained from some of his hard luck moments, and encouraging remarks gave me an appreciation for Will Ferrell the person that I never had for his Saturday Night Live persona. You never know who, what, when or where you'll find that special "something" or "someone" that will help you along the way to the next big step in your journey. For some of us, this video could fulfill that wonderful purpose.
This is one of the few times you get a chance to see a few snippets of Will Ferrell totally out of his normal character. The real Will Ferrell.
A million times better than when Bill Nye spoke at my commencement. this speech had encouraging and wise words for all disciplines. thank you will ferrell
RESPECT, dude has a gift and is grateful to embrace it.
Instant like. Wonderful speech and inspiring speaker. Very unfortunate to see many students lacking excitement and paying constant attention to their phones instead of enjoying this unique moment.
Right on! I laughed so many times. Will, we adore you! I loved this speech, I have see so many commencement speeches always too much about serious bs. This was seriously funny! Great singing! Loved it.
So lucky that one of my favorite comedian came to my commencement address
I'm just graduating from college and I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with my life and I'm also moving back with my parents so it is good to hear that a legend like Will Ferrell was clueless as well and moved back in with his mother.
That guy has so much heart. Love.
I was initially skeptical, but am pleasantly surprised by his speech. I give him much credit for speaking with sincerity and giving good advice about the journey to and the meaning of "success'. Not what I'd imagined he'd say...but I wholeheartedly relate to and agree with his address. Keep throwing darts, Mr Ferrell.....I mean, DOCTOR Ferrell ! ...wink....
USC grads. Especially the class of 2017. Will Ferrell is right. It is also a general principle that applies to all young people finding their way. Take his advice. Fight on. Life is a journey. Others have said this before. But I feel it needs to keep being repeated. Especially when you get in those "down days" and nothing seems to work. I was class of '92 Cal Poly SLO. Years of down days. Now the wind has picked up. The sails are full and I am heading to wherever I am heading.
that was awesome... what a great comedian and beautifully human too!
three years ago I was sitting in the audience, how time flies
I wish Will Ferrell did my school's commencement speech
We should all be as lucky to have such a great commencement speaker! Most people never remember their speaker but I can guarantee there kids will never forget! Great job will!!!
Great job Will! Love your work
His kids are growing up with a legend for a dad. Imagine your friends quoting movies your dad starred in. Crazy.
This mans just dropped the hottest commencement speech of the century
What a legend
So worth watching it to the end!!
Congratulations graduates and Dr. Will Ferrell!
After watching Conan O'Brian's Dartmouth commencement speech, and then this, I realize how clever and brilliant Conan's speech was. Conan's speech is at a few notches above Will Ferrell's.
He's freaking hilarious. Never gets old!
thanks for the speech
Loved it !! Thanks for the post
Congratulations Dr. Ferrell 👏🎓
Make me proud baby 😘💜
Y'all pay $48k a year for four years just to receive a piece of paper?
Terry Crews yeah except that piece of paper will get you somewhere
I want you to google this: On average, how much money will someone with a college degree make?
After you see those results, compare them to the average salary of someone who simply has a high school diploma.
Matthew Williams The BLS states that the average weekly income for those holding a high school diploma or equivalent was $638 in 2011. In 2009, this education group earned a median annual salary of $30,000, according to the National Center for Education Statistics
2016 graduates are projected to have an average salary of $50,556.
Terry Crews you dumb fuck the achievements you earn during that time span is what you "get".
Terry Crews the piece of paper is just a tangible item to symbolize the completion of the course. What you're getting is proof of your education.
Success is truly giving more of yourself... Well done.
he a legend in so many ways
long live Will Ferrel
Pure class! Congraduates!
Wow. Totally nailed the high note!
Omg.... loved every minute Dr Ferrell
He killed it 😂👍
For gods sake. Who wants a boring speech at his graduation, when u can have a true motivating, inspiring and funny one 🤷♂️
...life is serious at many points but one should be grateful for the good moments and enjoy them.
USC!! Way to go! Amazing selection for a speaker.
What a funny, intelligent and inspiring speech. Plus, I never knew he could sing so well.
wow...that would be an amazing day!congrats to all!!!
