I bet Tommy Wilson is cleaning urinals somewhere and watching this on his lunch break
Or maybe he is rich and having a good life. Life ain't fair and people don't necessarily get what they deserve
And probably eating a shitty 1 dollar pizza
right 😂
@@manuelrodriguez7445 well we all know Karma
There is nothing like karma. You do good karma they return back to you it's non-sense if you see the news (Mostly Indian News for those which India is currently famous for)you will get it what I want to say.
As an Indian guy, that hit me right in the feels. They can laugh at him all they want, but he's the one really laughing. Hassan, you are a gem
Yass!!!!!
@@sowsamsum no one is laughing at him.
@varun menon, isn’t it said: “He who laughs last laughs best.”
Not laughing at him the person...laughing at the comedian
This speech by Hasan minhaj beats Matthew Mcconaughey's Oscar winning speech on his Movie Dallas Buyers club 2014, which was my fav before this video of hasan... TAKE A BOW...... im inspired
One of the most underrated graduation speeches. Respect
Graduation speeches are the speeches that the students give. This was more like a guest speech

*#Why** is this not crazy viral video#*
Yeah
"I wasn't the funniest, I wasn't the smartest, I'm not the tallest, I'm not the best looking, All those things I'm not, But I never stop Fighting through the pick"-- This line gives me goosebumps..... Your heart is pure hassan. Love you man....
నిఖిల్ మన్నవ yeah, but not tall enough to guarantee him a spot on the basketball team lol it's tall but not tall tall
Uhmm he is all those things btw lol
@@Humza5000 definitely tall enough for high school ball lol
"I AM HERE FOR THE 99 PERCENT."
I'm here for the comments, 5 years later
@@vaidehiarts gotcha
@@vaidehiarts Same
Im in tears. He’s an amazing storyteller. He’s beautiful, genuine and funny. #1 fan right here! 🙋🏾♀️
Actually, I am!
Same!!
Me too
I KNOW RIGHT
Damn, I don't know why, but his words hit me right in feels and teared me up. It's not been long, but this is probably the best time I could have found this video of his because what he said couldn't have been anymore true than it already is.
ive been kinda stalking hasan minhaj online for the last 2 days incessantly watching every single videos that includes him
I started from morning today and its midnight now
Same here.
Same
Me too!
From all of videos that guy hair is lit
Hasan Minhaj: "You can't fall off the floor." I will remember that.
Pain is evident when he speaks of high school..
Just like the saying goes "Don't make fun of the indian kid, he'll probably end up being your boss."
I believe it's don't make fun of the Asian kid..
@@slomofome14 indians are asians too 😅
Hasan has to be one of the greatest storytellers. Really excited to see what he treats us with next.
That guy having shoes wet with pee in hands, crying and desperately waiting to get a chance of proving Himself; is now on the list of TIME's 100 most influential person 2019. This is Hasan Minhaj for you. Tons of love and lots of respect from a tiny little country of Asia, Bangladesh. This is 24/11/2019. Gonna take 2 oaths today- i)will do hardwork no matter what happens ii)will meet you personally within 5 years from today Let's see if I can make this. Wish me luck. ❤
Wish you all the best bro...✌️👍✨✨👏🏽 Never Ever give up....You are meant for far better than this..... Go go go....
good luck u better update
I'm in too bruh, BTW, how u doin??
May u achieve a lot success brother.😃
We’re counting on you bro
Hasan you are a beautiful man inside and out. That was wonderful and inspiring.
@@akshatagarwal1631 what's the relevance of this question?
I absolutely love this. I can't believe I'm just watching this after 5 years
Me to..... Some time yt shity algorithms suggest some good video 📷
I think it was archived and he brought it back
I cried in last 2 minutes, world does not care about your dreams that is true, never stop fighting through the pick
I've never seen anyone who narrates an experience or a story so grippingly and genuinely like Hasan does. He makes one feel like they're part of the story by being so captivating. Those words at the end of the speech hit hard and made me so hopeful because I'm kind of going through a failure right now. This is definitely my favourite graduation speech ever. I'm so glad that I started watching his content, I've almost watched all his existing videos and now I feel like he's one of my close friends. Patriot Act is my favourite show and I can definitely say that I'm a huge and a proud fan of Hasan. I hope one day I'll get to say this to him in person. "If you give yourself an opportunity to try, and survive failure, you'll eventually find what you were meant to do." I'm never going to forget this quote, thank you so much Hasan. You're the best comedian and a wonderful human being, I appreciate your existence. You deserve all the happiness and success in the world ❤️
Hey Namrata How are you keeping, Where are you from??
Currently, being a high school senior, this got to me so deeply. His words cut straight through me, and frankly, they were too inspirational. It made me emotional, and in the end, unlike other stories, I love the fact that he ends his sad flashback story, with the next day was the normal routine. He makes a very valid point, things like that are going to hurt us, but the next day everything will feel normal. It really will. We just have to learn how to move on whether we want to or not.
Yea I cried and nope I ain't gonna stop despite my failures. This guy is so bloody motivational.
WOOW he wake me up S M
That's the secret, You got to keep trying. Sadly 99% of us don't have the perseverance and determination to keep on trying. Inspiring words 👏👏👏👏
Even the best youtube videos are expected to have a few dislikes from certain low life scumbags! As I'm writing this comment (6:06PM Bangladesh time, 11 March, 2016), with around 17k views and not one single dislike. I don't think I need to say how beautiful this speech was!!
well now it has 3 dislikes
A year later, and only nine dislikes. That says a lot.
Only 18 dislikes now.. Amazing
damn, still 18...
23 dislikes
I always thought Hassan would have had an absolutely amazing childhood looking at how funny and happy he is. But after listening to his struggles and how he allowed himself to rise above the adversities, I respect you so much more..
this is such a well-written speech that ties in every aspect of what he said into the end i'm not crying, you're crying
Hassan your my inspiration . I'll be the next big comedian named Hassan haha
Not so fast
H. Pirzada why are u putting him down?
@@parjotsohal7053 My name is Also Hassaan so i was like not so fast
You go man!
Well good luck with that
I am from india & i am weak in english,,,but always feel good & happy to see you...... hat's off man.... You are my real hero and inspiration.....
He is actually born in US
Never stop improving your English my man,you are great already
“The World Does Not Care About Your Dreams. They Do Not”- Harsh Truth
This is the commencement speech I should've watched when I graduated from HS last year.
Every story this guy tells in brilliant, stand up special was brilliant, correspondents dinners were brilliant. This dude is writing the new chapter in the book of what in means to be a comedian in this era. That shit he said to congress about Orlando, profound. Telling high schoolers the truth for once, amazing.
I watched everything except congress about Orlando, can you share it here with us? Thanks!
Jenni Raisovna kzhead.info/sun/gbmynbWDkaOGaa8/bejne.html it’s from his lesser known correspondents dinner speech for the RTCA. The end is a scathing breakdown of how gun lobbying effects the lack of regulation that we are seeing these days in the wake of all the shootings.
I was really looking forward to reading the comments...
Wow. Reading this, i was too. And damn
500,000 people lived here... now it's a ghost town
Lol
Hello everyone! Hassan's back babyyy!!
Ayyy, yes ma'am
The shoe trophy raise threw me off the edge. Man you are rare when you can laugh things off, add humour to life, build everything upon honesty and make others feel all that.
This guy is a great storyteller. Glad to see him so successful now.
I'm from Sac town and when I saw Hasan wearing that Kings jacket, I put two and two together and realized Davis Senior High is Davis, CA! Like 15 minutes west of Sac! Wow what a small world!
Nov 2nd, 2019 and I'm happy I watched this. Qur'an 94:5 " For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease."
Hasan Minhaj thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your life experiences with us
LOVE this. he speaks straight from the heart.
I found out about Hassan 3 weeks ago....ever since than I was so mesmarized by how he expresses his thoughts and keeps his audience intune and attracted to his speeches and talks. Much respect for this man. much respect.
This video made my day. Never give up.
Why was everyone recommend this 5 years later
Hasan just posted new video on this channel after being away for a long while. I think this used to be patriot act channel, but he rebranded
Damn, not me crying at the club
BEST commencement speech EVER!!!
thank you for inspiring Hasan....I am the 99%
I been watching this for the three years on repeat and i get chills every time. Just so inspiring
I m totally motivated to see this video ! I think he is the well wisher for every hard working people !
Hits hard when he laugh to hide the pain.... It's 5 in mrng watching this totally depressed that one day my dreams n hard work will make difference.... I m crying.. But your words are genuine n makes me cry n smile at same time... Allah bless you always n I know I will meet u one day 😌 lots of love your story inspires many
This commencement speech gave me the courage to start creating my own content and putting em out there. Thanks Hasan for doing what you do and inspiring the rest of us. All the best on creating new content on this channel!
He tells his stories like a genius 🙌🏼 Love him! ❤️
But at the end it does work out. Patriot Act Hasan, The Patriot Act.
Probably the best high school graduation speech I have heard
Wow, a speech that doesn't talk about some magical perfect success that "everyone" can achieve? Holy damn, that's an anomaly. It is so easy to be super rich and talk about how you can achieve that, which is bs obviously. Instead, it is about endurance and finding what you are meant to do. Hasan is the best.
Amazing and talented since then! Awesome vid Hasan :)
Thank you Hassan Today I was about to almost give up but thank god I found this video while going through my feed Thank you so much for making me see the true me I know you don't know what I'm on about but when I get to where I'm going and get what I want I will comment on this same video Thank you so much 💕
Nasteho Mukhtar,hope you made it. Or at least hope you're closer to getting what you are about. If you haven't, keep fighting.
Don't ever give up.
Nasteho Mukhtar , two years later...I hope you are still moving towards where you want to be. ✌🏼
Nasteho Mukhtar 3 Years later , I hope you're already there or about to make it ✨
Nasteho Mukhtar... Stay strong dear... Hope you passedthe hard times already if not don't give up believe there is a light in the end of tunnel.. All hearts is with you & many are rooting for you... I have been there... Thanks GOD i passed a hard times
i remember finding this video last year and how inspiring it was to me. happy to see hasan is back
I don't know how to express my feeling watching this video but every time I watch Hasan showing those penny's to all those people, it gives me motivation and taught me the way of living.....
Mind blown.. Real inspiration right there..
Hassan, you're awesome. God bless you brother! Greetings from Kuwait!
This made me cry, man! More power to you and and everyone who was/is being bullied
Thank you for sticking through it for those 10 years, and ending up here! I really needed that, I'm gonna aim at that side door now :D .
People need to see this. This is just so good, and so freakin motivating. I love you man.
watching this and crying, cause I'm trying and surviving and trying again keep going and its gonna be worth it
I’ve seen all your videos.. this just moved me ❤️
Hassan you are awesome....a brave young boy
Wow, so proud of you. So inspired! Congratulations!
he is so genuine relatable and inspiring. this gives me hope and makes me smile at the worst times
Wow! I loved this speech. Taught us so much.. We only have a number of days, make them count. God bless y'all. Kash, Manchester, UK
Love your work, thank you for sharing this. Been following your career for awhile and I think your dope Hassan, God bless you man!
I got into this labyrinth through a brisk viewing of his Saudi video, followed by his dig on Indian elections and white house dinner. I went on to see so many videos, admiring this Indian-American dude who has a great sense of humour and a great sense of humanity. My opinions changed frequently about him, and he went from a wannabe mocker to an excellent orator and comedian for me, but today I really respect him after these 10 minutes. I respect Hasan Minhaj, and I understand the fearlessness of him now when I know the origin story. Also, the like-dislike ratio is dope on this video, I mean these 91 guys are surely Tommy Wilson and his friends.
Hasan is awesome
His speech is so moving. His words comes from the strong and passionate heart and always touches mine. Just fabulous.
This made me cry so much. Watching your journey to where you are today is amazing and so deserved! Your such an inspiration for me and so many other brown kids..thank you for doing everything you do
if you want awesome check out his talk at the RTCA dinner(C Span)
You literally made me cry. Thank you for sharing the inspiration.
Wow. This is the second time an amazing person I’ve noticed who’s really good at what they do and is acknowledged on the world platform say that they never gave up. To never give up.
Wow. My respect for you just increased a lot. Love from Bangladesh. 🇧🇩
Thanks for doing it man, keep going, believe it or not, you are an inspiration for many of us out here
This was truly beautiful. So inspiring. I had tears In my eyes by the end of it.
Wow! Hassan, as always, you are amazing!
And this made me love Hasan Minhaj even more. This is what i needed atm. You're an inspiration Hasan
wow just wow, this proves there is universal good in us 💝
Thank you for these words. I feel very inspired by them.
The last two minutes motivated me more than 100% of motivational videos on the internet.
Your stories are always so deep and meaningful although you tell them in a fun way! I just love the way you talk. Best wishes!
Never had tears listening to speeches, until I watched this. Much needed for a broken heart like me
The daily show keeps me grounded in political chaos, love you so much man!
