Jimmy Fallon, The Rock Deliver Hilariously Bad Commencement Speech

May 2024 · 2 minute read

Well, somebody’s got to graduate at the bottom of the class, and at Oneonta High School, that’s Bobby Ristick and Logan Duffy, aka Jimmy Fallon and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Just in time for graduation season, Fallon and the Furious 7 star delivered a hilariously bad commencement speech for their “graduating class” in 1989 sharing just what they learned in their eight years in high school.

“First off, focus on the future,” Fallon’s long-haired Ristick advised his classmates. “Don’t get caught up in fads that won’t last, like ‘computers.’ You really think a dumb box of wires is going to be around in 10 years?”

“A lot of us will never see each other again. What, do you think that one day we’re all going to keep in touch using some magical book with a bunch of faces in it? What would you even call that?” Ristick wondered.

Thank You!

Little did he know, Ristick’s BFF would later be inspired by that magical book to create his own social network, called — wait for it — Myspace.

Ristick, on the other hand, wasn’t as lucky after receiving his diploma. After all, his biggest post-collegiate claim to fame was losing his virginity on Halloween — dressed as Ronald McDonald.
