James Franco's Rejected UCLA Commencement Speech
Filed under: James Franco
We mentioned last month about how James Franco flaked on his alma matter, canceling his commencement speech at the last minute.
Now, he's trying to get some chuckles out of the "drama" with a new Funny or Die Video (posted above).
It's kinda funny, but, we think, mostly NOT!
What do U think????

your very ugly perez, seriously ugly…:)
It's not funny whatsoever. I couldn't even get through half of it. And he seemed high.
i like him a lot. like 'a lot' a lot.
i chuckled once or twice….
Ehhhhhh, not so much.
fucking awesome
I just think I want to blow him.
ehhhh not funny, unfortunately.
yea..not funny at all
yeah it wasnt like hahahahah omg i think i might di from laughter but it was cute and honestly if it wasnt him i probably wouldnt have thought it was goof but he is so fucking hot that it doesnt matter lol
funny
well, my computer won't load the apparently lame video but i want ot see.. AH HA! You Tube has just called me! anywho I luv James Franco so even if its a lameo video :l I*D*C! Ha
I love James Franco he is an excellent actor and he is sexy as hell ,but he is a douchebag.
meh
.
A little bit funny, but he sure looks good
He is HILARIOUS!!
people take things WAY to seriously!
I want to do terrible things to him. He's a babe.
He's a HOT flake…www.hotmenonly.net
hott.
(:
I thought it was funny, but don't think any UCLA students will think it was funny…but I bet he doesn't care…he'll just continue to make millions in showbiz and more than half the graduating UCLA class of 09' won't have any jobs!!
He is such a piece of shit. By all means, Blanco, try to make yourself look good by making a half ass "comedy sketch" about a situation in which you have proved yourself to be the largest waste of space, worthless, stupid actor in Hollywood. Go write some more short stories about your gay, butt-fuck drug escapades. Hack.
That shiet was funny! I luv ya Perez, but wuit hatin'…lol.
james franco is too hot not too enjoy any work of his
Lol i love james franco
uhm i thought it was fuckin hilarious perez.
Re: redrory – agreed.
Wow. Have none of you ever seen Freaks & Geeks??? He is totally in character with daniel desario! This is brilliant! Freaks & geeks was the best tv show ever made.
I love James Franco.
I don't care if you think he's funny or not.
You're so hateful….
I thought it was kinda funny
The way he presented it held it together
hahah ah man - you guys are all prudes - he's hillarious…. high or not (more than likely high LoL)
james franco is hilarious.. those of you being so critical are just looking to judge. he is such a good actor b/c he is great in both comedies and dramas
I don't have to even watch this piece to know this guy is a dick. Being invited to give a commencement speech is an honor - canceling at the last minute is unprofessional and unkind. Making light of it is unforgivable. Funny or die? Well, it's not funny so…
GOD he is beautiful. and adorable and funny. fuck off perez.
This shit is funny. And for those who say it's not, you probably lack a sense of good comedy. This video was made by "The Harvard Lampoon." I'm pretty sure a bunch of Harvard comedians have a much better sense of humor than some internet nobodies commenting on a celeb gossip site.
the ucla graduating class might not think it's funny but i think it is hilarious.
go out and make babies. ha, what great advice!
hahah, hes so hott.
and yep, he was prob high.
not funny…at all
I thought it was funny. I love James Franco! He's the BEST!!!
I love James Franco and I think that Perez is hating on Funny or Die because they have that hilarious Breckin Meyer imitation of him. That was hysterical!
Not funny Franco.
Insulted.
Palo Alto/Bruin Alum
Just as smart as you.
He's hot! All i gotta say!
i thought it was pretty funny
Four words: I love James Franco.
I love his sense of humor. His other stuff on Funnyordie.com is really funny too.
i'm going to go out and make babies …
I don't care if he's funny or not, just look at him.
I REALY DONT KNOW OR CARE WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT I WAS TO DISTACTED BY HIS SEXYNESS
The UCLA graduating class didnt want him there in the first place. They made a petition against him you idiot. He BACKED OUT BECAUSE HE FUCKING KNEW HE WASNT REALLY WANTED. He was literally asked to step back. YOU FUCKING IDIOT.And Perez, YOU ASSHOLE..You KNOW it. But you continue to trash him. You continue to trash everybody. You can't sink much lower Perez. Are you willing to hit rock bottom??
P.S. Loved the video.
he is the perfect man, smart, talented, funny, and of course completely gorgeous !!
shut up perez! Your just angry because you attempted to poke fun at him and he just obviously laughs it off. He's hot, your not! Shut up.
i thought it was cute, funny but not hilarious. it's nice he doesn't take himself seriously
Expected to hate it, but I started giggling!
I kinda like it!!!
FUNNY —————————-NOT AT ALL ! WHO IS HE ?
it´s a major meh
but i still think that he is so dreamy and cute
he is really cute
OMG !! What a fucking tool . that so was not funny humm maybe he'll just die
TOO FUNNY!!
how do ppl NOT get this? woww.
TOO FUNNY!!
how do people NOT get that? woww.
Re: ColaStain – you get it's a joke right?
amazzinn
Had a few chuckle worthy points but it was dragged out to long and got tiresome
the only funny take was when he held his arms in the air for his fucking applause
other than that it was lame
he is a hawt pothead
HYSTERICAL!!
(Had to pause at Creative Writing major dropping the minor in Robotics–wine spurting out of my nose.)
So I guess I'm a James Franco fan now.
too funny. love it. i had no idea, that he is that brilliant. toll!!!!!
This was funny for about a minute and a half…After that he is just trying too hard
It's a real honor to be hear today to talk to you about cum… lol
he is sugar perez.what are you talking about???
Ehhh that was not funny, sorry James you're hot and all but this was just bleh. Why make fun of the fact that you're a douchebag that didn't show up to give a speech?
I'm expecting some sh*tiness from this video that I havn't seen yet…………..I will watch it.
I smiled like once at some joke…………….But it wasnt funny it was more douchey than funny.
Re: katsa – You are fat
If you are unable to read between the lines I guess this is not funny to you.
The guy is telling you something..but per usual it goes over your heads.
Fuck the speech..that's why PhD's are paying for..it's reaaly funnny..He's a GREAT EXCELLENT AMAZING ACRTOR….love him….
If u don't think it's funny, maybe never u went 2 college Dumb ass.
I'm a PhD and its AWSOME..let other do waht they have 2 do..not James…
could he be any hotter??
seriously.
its funny, not like hilariious i cant stop laughing funny, but it was still decent.
Comes off rude, self centered. Why would someone cancel at the last minute with people counting on them and looking forward to hearing them speak? Apologize James, offer to visit the campus and sign autographs.
I fuckin love him…vid is the shizzzzz!!!!
hahah this is where i must disagree with you perezy but hes just so attractive that i enjoyed it anyways!
Re: Trophy Wife – You're so fucking STUPID, "Trophy Wife". Let me list all the reasons why:
1) The whole point of the video was to come across as rude and self-centered. Ever hear of sarcasm? He was poking fun at how he was portrayed in the media for backing out last minute. Get it?
2) Why would a trip to campus to sign autographs be a treat for the students? He fucking went there! They saw him all the time!
3) You call yourself "Trophy Wife". Not really something to be proud of. Being called a "trophy wife" is actually an insult for both you and your husband. But we already established that you're too stupid to get stuff. I hope you didn't breed.
P.S. Perez, this video is hilarious. You're stupid too.
i love him!!!!! marry me!!!!!!!!!1
I thought it was funny. Though I agree that he did seem high, which was probably part of the point.
Okay so this had potential to be funny, but it just wasn't!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it wasn't slapstick funny, but it was definitely very entertaining (maybe only to someone with the attention span of an actual adult I guess).
Who?????????????????????????
Boooooo. I was waiting to laugh and nothing!
I love him!
fyi he didn't "flake" the production schedule of the movie he was working on got moved up and he actually got into a fight with the studio people about it. they basically said cancel everything and do the movie or we'll ruin your career.
It was funny Perez! I love this guy.
That was funny as hell, actually. The self-mockery was classic.
Re: Trophy Wife – You IDIOT! The students were NOT looking forward to him being there. They petitioned against him. He backed out because they WANTED him to! Shut the FUCK UP next time O.K.?
boringgg….
pretty funny… and he is really good looking.
It was just too long
James Franco is so sexy and so funny I love this video so much he is hilarious and he makes me laugh anyone who doesn't like it has no humor lol funny or die .com is great thanks for sharing
