It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Charlie Day's hilarious commencement address proves graduation speeches aren't useless

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's Charlie Day returned to his alma matter, Merrimack College, over the weekend to inform graduates that their degrees "will basically do nothing" for them. In a graduation year when student protests nixed a slew of commencement addresses, Day served up an irreverent, poignant, punchline-packed speech that showed why such addresses, though often irrelevant, don't have to be so. --Jon Terbush
