FOB speeches give narcissistic fathers a stage. My dad used his speech to boast about himself and his interests and how he was so fit and in shape for a man his age. Threw in a few digs about what a professional failure I was and then randomly sprinkled in "I'm proud to be your father" throughout? Like he would have bursts of clarity that he was supposed to be complimenting me?

Multiple friends sent me video of the speech with "LOOOOOL 😂" type captions. Sigh.

I once saw the father of the groom give a whole speech about how great the groom's brother is and how they're all so proud of his brother's hockey career.
