Tom Hanks' HILARIOUS Harvard Speech Leaves Audience in Splits: “I Make a Good Living...” | REPLUG
Video Overview & Insights
Tom Hanks had Harvard graduates laughing out loud during his 2023 commencement address with a brutally funny self-roast. The Oscar-winning actor joked that he had never attended Harvard, never taken a class, and never even stepped inside the library, yet makes a great living playing people who did. Reflecting on his own unconventional educational journey through community college, California State University, and the “School of Hard Knocks,” Hanks delivered a heartfelt and humorous message about life, learning, and success. His candid remarks struck a chord with graduates and quickly became one of the ceremony’s most memorable moments.
Goodness, was this ever a forward-looking speech! Tom Hanks is a treasure.

Isn't Tom Hanks' exit strategy that Greek citizenship he picked up a few years back?

Brilliant. All about being human. There were hints of Jack Kennedy in the lightness and humour and value owed to core values. Please don't pounce on me if you disagree, this was a speech about agreement and unity and the values of the United States as they should be and not as Hanks feared might be.
This will always be a prospectus for a better time free from intolerance, greed and indifference.

Beautiful speech. Not hilarious, though, YouTube. By the way he speaks of Americans, Hanks knows that we are all One.

When he started to reference a strange being from another planet, why did I first think of Mork and then Alf before he said Superman 😂

What a shame the system is broken. If you’re honourable it works otherwise it’s exploited. Why did the founding fathers not put in more guardrails against exploitation? Certainly a brilliant speech. So much to be fixed. Make voting compulsory and unable to be manipulated. Limit the power of the executive etc.

Eloquent and verbose as always. The man got where he is, because of how smart he is. Great speech, inspiring to those who sat there, I trust.

I know he’s aging but you can hear it in his voice. Sometimes when he slows down and drops in tone, it almost sounds like Neil deGrasse Tyson was talking to you.

Terrific speech. I thoroughly enjoyed it however I think the "American Way" has been destroyed like Supermans planet.
@LorettaHewittHe is so brilliant, so down to earth, so "super"! Great speech.
@gloriawahlstrom1009If I could frame this video, I would so I could share it with my current and future family.
It is hilarious yet serious, preachy yet interesting and thought provoking.
Brilliant Speech
@alangreenwood292An exceptional speech from an exceptional man. Appropriate for today's times. 🤩👋👋👏👏
@bonniefaltz9505Tom Hanks thank you for a brilliant and encouraging speech and life
@dorothygeyer7704not bad for a graduate from a community college
@thomasthuene3173This brings a release of tears. Thank you . We must carry on…
@judyclark6528Truth be Told
@bruceflanders6918I like Tom Hanks...but really hearing americans extolling 'the american way' as if the US is some kind of of exemplar is just hilarious.
@davidlawrence2778😂a lovely human and a great speech 😂❤❤❤
@ElizabethDay-o1xI hope Larry Summers is listening
@calbsticky4424This YouTube channel emphasized “HILARIOUS” in the title and “AUDIENCE CAN’T STOP LAUGHING” in the thumbnail as obvious clickbait. It wasn’t hilarious, it was a serious speech with a couple mildly humorous moments. I’m glad I watched, it was an excellent speech, but the clickbait was unnecessary and annoying.
@calisongbirdTom, if you wrote this yourself, I underestimated you. If you employed someone to write it, give them a bonus. Brilliant stuff.
@LewisWray-h2oSome of us can repair screen doors 😅
@SphunyLangley-q5sHuh...who was he referring to?
@Dozer04r18:50 - That would be me.
@GrantSRAbsolutely love and respect him. You can be a multimillionnaire and still show decency. ❤
@TheAnetmusikTom Hanks! Wow I love this man. I could spend 1000 years trying to write a better speech and fail. And I actually graduated
@djschultz1970He is absolutely wonderful! I loved hearing him! ❤
@cromcoffee3229I have listened to people who don't believe in the truth and those who do.
The difference between someone who believes in this country and someone who doesn't. I have been inspired by those who do and disheartened by those who don't. I prefer the dos over the don'ts any day.
The man, the legend...takes down the self-appointed legend without mentioning a single name.....for that, thank you!
@CyberENABguyExcellent
@amrushing3539The headline writer for this presentation got it wrong. This is not "hilarious". This speech was outright Awesome. Long yes, full of wisdom ,yes. I can hope that it was understood by this graduating class.
@AliceOldham-d6uIndeed Excellent, Mr. Hanks.
@teresawernecke6820Hilarious? Not. But wise.
@janetdavidson4619One of our best Americans. Magnificent, Mr. Hanks! ❤
@diane9247LOVE THIS MAN
@LawannaRoberts-x8wI wanted to leave the United States because the current president of the United States is actively destroying our country. Over the past year I have decided to stay and fight against what is happening in our country. I can not abandon the promise of this country when it's in such jeopardy. I can not be a coward and run away when so many before me did not. As a citizen, I am part of the promise. I have been blessed being born and raised in the United States of America and proud. I want to be proud again and hopeful for future generations. We are supposed to leave it better for the next generation and they will do the same for the generations after them. This is the promise and no matter how difficult it will be, I want to keep the promise alive.
@maryiced3931Hey Tom….watch out for those flying pigs😂😂😂😂😂
@prpleheartsBrilliant.
@baw6776Thank you.
@puntpresto9505Biologily seen: there is only ONE human race. It‘s a US thing to ask about race. Here in Germany there is no such division.
