Worst Celebrity Speeches Of All Time


Use this thread to post what you regard as the worst celebrity speech of all time:

Mike Love when the Beach Boys were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (1988): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZSAQX2uuUY

The final bit at https://youtu.be/oZSAQX2uuUY?t=522 is the best part.

I remember seeing this. Mike Love, not war.

There was one that cracked me up. It cracked me up because as I remember it, the celebrity involved wasn't making any sense. Jodie Foster gave a speech where she kind of admitted she was a lesbian. At the same time, she was trying to be coy about it. The problem is she wasn't making any sense, hahahahaa. I remember watching her and thinking "Jodie, what in the f(*&^k are you talking about?" Hahahahahaahah

And also, so I don't get lynched here - the fact that Jodie Foster is a lesbian, this is all fine and dandy with me. What I'm laughing about is her speech, not the fact that she is gay.

Don't worry. I get what you're saying. A lot of people can be quite vague when making speeches, which can often be fairly amusing, and although society is sadly quite homophobic, I doubt anyone in the room would have judged Foster, even back in the day when she came out, if she'd just simply said "I'm gay!"

Hey, I'm having a good time here - I checked on You Tube and I found her speech:

Hahahahahahahaha

She's all over the place, not making any sense,hahahahahaha

But yeah, its got nothing to do with her sexuality. And you're right, she'd probably have been better off simply saying "I'm gay". ANd incidentally, everyone already knew, hahahahaahahah

OMG Im hysterical here!

Pretty much any award acceptance speech that veers into politics or controversial subjects.

Agree. That's why Ricky Gervais's Golden Globes host monologues are so awesome. I love seeing him skewer the legends in their own minds!

HarveyManFredSin, would you mind if I started a best celebrity speeches of all time thread? I have a contender or two.

reply

Not at all! Why would I? 🙂

But I really wish some of you would post some bad celebrity speeches to add to the one in my OP (assuming you can think of any).

reply

Thanks! I'm adding one of the worst in my opinion to your thread.

Melissa Leo's Oscar acceptance speech for The Fighter. Start at 4:50 and make sure you watch till the end when she uses Kirk Douglas's walking cane!

Not a speech. A Burt Lancaster press conference
