Lewis Black’s welcome to the world of idiots

I was worried that we'd get through the entire graduation season without a halfway-decent commencement speech that could hold our attention for longer than 15 seconds.

But then Lewis Black gave his first-ever commencement speech to the grads of University of California– San Diego’s Thurgood Marhsall College.

"I want you to know that you are now entering a world that's filled to the brim with idiots," he said. "There are so many that you may start to believe you're crazy. You are not. They are idiots."

It got even better
