Is This The Best 'Best Man' Speech Of All Time? 'We Are Brothers'

"We Are Brothers" (a best man's speech) - A Hundred Merry Tales by A Hundred Merry Tales on YouTube

Whether they're overly heartfelt tributes sprinkled liberally with "I love you man," wretched, drunken sniveling, or a tour down the lane of memories best left forgotten -- a great best man speech can make a wedding truly memorable.

Like this one.

Trying to send off their brother, a pair of men who appear to be British created this over-the-top 1980s style video tribute as their best man speech. Jaws must have dropped at the reception.

"At his wedding we pleaded for our brother not to leave us, in the only way we knew how to say it; through the the medium of 80s music and video. We thought we'd done OK, but he left us anyway," the video description says.

The silver bodysuit and 1980s makeup are inspired, but the overwrought lyrics set the scene, with lines like "Don't leave us, you are our Jesus. But you look like mother. Don't want to lose you to another."
