Steve Carell Tells Princeton Grads That They 'Should Have To Suffer'

| Filed under: Silly!Steve CarellTwitterFacebook

Princeton University's graduation ceremony may have been plagued by rain, but at least they got to listen to this HIGHlarious speech from Steve Carell!

The Seeking a Friend for the End of the World star told an audience covered in orange and white ponchos that modern technology has made us all lose the ability to connect as human beings.

More importantly, the Facebook and Twitter generation no longer has to suffer the humiliation of being rejected in person, as he explained:

"When I was in college, I would not text a girl to ask her out on a date. I would ask her in person, one human to another. When she said no, which she always did, I would suffer the humiliation and self-loathing a young man or woman needs for growth."

LOL!

We're loving all of these celebrity graduation speeches this year and this might be the best one yet, so check it out for yourself (above)!

    To show them how much he really wanted them to suffer, he gave everyone there a copy of Evan Almighty.

    Why do Ivy league colleges use celebrities, people who don't contribute anything to society allow them to speak to a bunch of kids that will go onto be doctors/scientists,etc,etc..People in which that actually DO contribute things to society. Maybe one day, mindless morons will stop treating celebrities like their tears cure cancer..but I doubt it.
