In this topic, we find the worst mid-concert Eddie speech

At 26:30

I submit this rambling 5-minute speech about the word 'fuck' segueing into a spiel about voting, while Stone Gossard looks on very unimpressed.

Here's a timestamped version (let me know if there's a way to embed a timestamp'd video): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vs6dlpkXxCg#t=26m30s

[mikejasond]

I think this one is one of the best (worst) because he clearly thinks he’s being both funny and poignant while in actuality being neither

[Anders]

Stone’s look was funny.

[Leatherhead]

You're one of those people that yell "shut up and play!" while the person on stage talks aren't you?

[E.H. Ruddock]

oh come on, please don't turn this place into the Pit.

HOF speech is the keynote worst speech of all speeches from Ed

but it’s not mid-concert so cannot win this thread’s contest

[Jorge]

Honestly the mosquito bites moment wasn't just douchey but also pretty embarrassing

Only when it’s Eddie

[mikejasond]

oh come on, please don't turn this place into the Pit.

The pit would be voting on the most inspiring speech though. I want the cringiest ones

Also featured a great unimpressed Stone Gossard face.

he almost undid a decade’s worth of feminist street cred bestowed upon him by gloria steinem

What I'd give for a transcript of Stone Gossard's internal monologue at such times.

[Leatherhead]

This thread is in bad taste, especially with so many people on the forum lately.

[mikejasond]

I thought this board was primarily for making fun of Pearl Jam.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Yeah just talk about this in the post random PJ thoughts thread or something.

You thought wrong

[mikejasond]

This is not a random thought this is a chance to collect cringey Eddie Vedder speeches

[Jorge]

Come on you're on to something, MJD... you're on to something

[Leatherhead]

This is just mean spirited bullying. Nothing clever, funny, or even amusing.
