Humorous speeches for competition pdf

16 MAR I recently delivered a very funny yet inspirational speech titled “A Bit Short” at our Club’s International Speech Contest about falling short of our goals at the last minute and the importance of “going all the way” in order to achieve success. This is an extract from my Toastmasters Humorous Speech Sample. Bit Short Puneet Wadhwa Many
years back, I had a huge crush on a girl from my school. She was smart. I was dumb. She was tall. I was short. She was beautiful – I was not. But since opposites attract, at least I thought we were a match made in heaven. Every time I saw her I could hear music play in the background. Every time she smiled at me, my heart stopped beating. Every
time she spoke something, I could hear nothing else. I was truly madly deeply in love. But there was only one problem – I didn’t have the guts to tell her that. After two years of being constantly taunted and jeered at by my friends, I gathered some courage to meet her on Valentine’s Day. I kneeled down with a rose, looked into her eyes and said – “will
you be friends with me?” She said, “Puneet even though I loved you too, but I hate you for taking so long… I just got engaged two days ago.” OUCH! I fell a bit short. Contest Chair, fellow Toastmasters, and guests have you ever fallen short? Speaking of falling short, a few months ago, I was visiting a doctor’s clinic near my house with my wife. As I
parked the car outside the doctor’s clinic and stepped outside I saw a little stray dog come towards me. There was something weird though – that dog looked like an astronaut from outer space. When I saw closely, the dog’s head was trapped in a big plastic jar and he was constantly bumping himself against something or another. I was running very
late for the appointment and since the doctor was about to leave, I went inside. After thirty or so minutes, I came out of the clinic to find that dog still sitting there. I asked a security guard who was standing nearby, about what had happened. He mentioned that some naughty kids had enticed him to eat something in the jar and after he got trapped –
they left him there after their share of laughs was over. The dog had been like that for two days and he was fatigued, dehydrated and almost out of breath. I decided I was going to help him. I went closer to him and tried to pull the jar out. The dog cooperated initially but when I pulled too hard, the jar got stuck in his neck even tighter. I had
inadvertently completely blocked the minor source of oxygen from which he was breathing. The dog started gasping for breath and his eyes started turning red. I ran to my car to find a sharp object but I only found a plastic fork. I tried to make a hole in the plastic jar but the fork broke. I was desperately racing against time. But, after applying a lot of
pressure on the hard jar using the handle of the broken fork, I was able to make a small hole. The dog started breathing again and ran away. I was so relieved that *I* was not going to be the man who killed the dog. But then, I as I sat in my car, I recollected the numerous incidents in my life when I had given up at the last minute. Even though I had
punctured the jar, I probably gave the dog just one more day to live before he would die of dehydration and hunger. I ran behind that dog who was hiding under a car, pulled him out and pinned him down with help from my wife. I asked one of the people watching the show by now to bring some cooking oil and a pair of scissors. I thought I would first
try to lubricate his neck and try to wriggle his head out. But this creative trick also failed since the jar was too tight. I somehow delicately squeezed in one blade of the scissor under the rim of the jar and pressed hard. But the rim didn’t break. I and my wife pressed the scissor handles with all our might but the scissor slipped narrowly missing his ear.
But the jar still didn’t break open. I was running out of options when finally I saw some sand on the roadside. I still don’t know how the bulb lit up in my head, but I sprinkled some sand on the scissor blades and pressed as hard as I could – one more time. Suddenly, I heard a loud sound… “cuttack…” and the rim of the plastic jar broke open. The dog
broke free and ran away like a bullet from a gun. That day since I decided that I was *not* going to fall short, I ended up saving a life. Ladies and Gentlemen, Thomas Edison failed more than 1000 times before he invented the light bulb. Had he stopped at the 1000th attempt, you and I would still be sitting in dark. Henry Ford failed and went broke
five times before he invented the first affordable car. Had he stopped at the 4th attempt, we would all be riding horses. Elon Musk failed three times before launching the massively successful Falcon rocket. Because of his persistent efforts, we may one day commute to and fro from Mars. So, friends – when you try – try all the way – and if you feel like
giving up next time, I urge you to walk one extra mile, work one extra day, stretch one extra hour and you will be amazed at what happens when you don’t fall short.

#toastmasters #speaktosucceed Though she had never competed in a speech contest before entering a series of Toastmasters contests that began in February, Coeur d’Alene’s Sherry Groeschl won the recent Toastmasters District 9 Humorous Speech Contest. Groeschl bested local participants who survived a four-month process of elimination
through club, area, and division speech competitions. The five- to seven-minute speeches were judged on content, organization, gestures and style. Groeschl, a member of Talk of the Town Toastmasters Club in Coeur d’Alene, won with her speech, “Nutty,” about Groeschl’s friendship with a squirrel in her backyard. “He developed a bad attitude,”
Groeschl relates, “and I was trying to teach him a lesson by moving the feeder. Eventually I was using non-stick spray and watching him slide down the shepherd’s hook in hilarious defeat.” Groeschl’s journey to this point began when she was suddenly widowed with two pre-teens to raise. Facing a mountain of medical bills after her husband’s
passing, Groeschl found her family was embraced by the Coeur d'Alene community, which offered support and encouragement. “Walking through that time in my life was the hardest thing I have ever experienced,” she said. “My relationship with God and being surrounded by good people got me through.” Her desire to pay forward the support she
received led her to public speaking. “My desire is to encourage people no matter what struggle they may be experiencing,” she said. “My desire is to use writing and speaking to accomplish that.” That ambition led her to join Talk of the Town Toastmasters, where she has been a member for just a little more than two years. “I wanted to polish my
speaking skills,” she said, “so that I may tell my story and encourage everyone to trust God through life's trials.” She notes that competition is a challenging way to practice all the speaking skills she’s been working on. Groeschl, a senior buyer for the Idaho Department of Lands, credits Talk of the Town with helping her hone her speech. “Meeting
with my Talk of the Town family is the highlight of my week," she said. Talk of the Town Toastmasters regularly meets Thursdays at 7 a.m. Because of the pandemic, the club is meeting online until further notice. Those interested in attending can call 208-635-5990.

the author.Note: In November, after working my way from being about as hilarious as a bundle of spinach to making it to the finals of Toastmasters humorous speech contest, I shared what I learned about how to write a funny speech. This is the second part of the series. Here’s what Toastmasters International says about speech contests: Speech
contests are a Toastmasters tradition. Each year, thousands of Toastmasters compete in the Humorous, Evaluation, Tall Tales, Table Topics and International speech contests. Competition begins with club contests, and winners continue competing through the Area, Division and District levels. Winners of the District level International Speech Contest
proceed to the region quarterfinal level. Following region quarterfinals, winners advance to the semifinals for a chance to take part in the World Championship of Public Speaking®.

Elizabeth Gray, District Chief Judge We have come to the end of the fall Humorous Speech Contests. Due to a change in Toastmasters International rules, we will no longer have a district-level fall speech contest. Spring contest season will return to two contests with competition through District level. Spring 2019 we will have Table Topics and
International contest.

John Crandall did, “Texas, Why Are You Trying to Kill Us?!?” Div G-Trish Henderson, Shining Stars Club Div F-Walter Gaman, Southlake Club Through the rain, Trish Henderson told us “The Secret to a Happy Marriage,” and Walter Gaman reminded us what “The Toastmaster Family” is all about (studying SAT words!).
