This is the unedited clip from "Dirtbags" (the 2009 re-make) in which Bill Zebub delivers a persuasive speech for his "public speaking" class. TRIVIA: Bill Zebub really did make this speech in real life for his public speaking class, for which he received an "A." His classmates broke out in hysterical laughter, which made Bill Zebub feel like an entertainer, but after class he discovered that what the main reason why students were laughing so hard was because they thought that Bill had lost his mind and that he was intentionally trying to flunk. Prior to that speech all of his presentations had been serious, but Bill decided that a "persuasive speech" wasn't graded on whether the argument swayed the audience - the grading was done on research and on presentation - and he justly received the top grade.
