Here is an example of a punch line which somebody used in his best man speech –

“… I am happy that Eric and Julia are getting married. Eric is happy to get Julia as his wife and Julia is happy to get Eric happy to get Eric as her husband. And Julia’s parents are happy to get their bathroom back. I mean that’s what they told me a while ago.”

Julia’s parents are happy to get their parents back – this is the punch line.

Neither say filthy jokes that may ruin the spirit of the occassion. But if that happens blame it on the groom. He chose the wrong person who is everything but the best man.

But here is the most cliché best man joke of all time – “If I am the best man here then why the heck is she (the bride) with John (the groom) and not with me?”

Here is another which is, well, a lot better than the two above – [ask the bride to put her hand on the table, and then ask the groom to put his hand on hers.]  Now say: “That is the last time you will have the upper hand.”
