Jon Stewart Commencement Address

Jon Stewart's Commencement Address is not one like most. The most shocking thing to me was that in this speech over and over again, Jon insults the school. He started off my insulting the choir by saying that the song reminds him of nothing. It seemed as if Jon knew that he was set up to fail in the sense that he made it a point to tell the parents he was "serious." He is basically sitting there thanking the school for giving him the degree when in fact he did nothing. Although he realizes that he did nothing he does a good job of making a point to show that he knows that the scholars in front of him went through a lot and paid a lot to be in the seat they are in. I do like the way he went about this but at the same time. I don't think that I would want to hear this address at my commencement ceremony. I did enjoy a couple of laughs, Stewart uses humor to get to his audience. One thing that caught my eyes was that he joked about six graduates trying to figure out how to make a bong out of their caps. All and all Stewart does show community by showing that he did belong to the school, although his speech was a little vulgar and immature at points you can feel the connection he feels with the school.
