Andy Samberg Announces Death of Liberal Arts, Coolness of Science Majors at Harvard Class Day

Every time Har­vard Class Day rolls around, you can expect a few good laughs from a come­di­an. In years past, Sacha Baron Cohen (a Cam­bridge grad), appear­ing as Ali G, offered some words of non­sen­si­cal wis­dom to Har­vard grads. Amy Poehler and Will Fer­rell have done the same. This year brings Andy Sam­berg, a Sat­ur­day Night Live cast mem­ber and co-star in var­i­ous com­ic films. The high­lights?

• 4:29 mark: Announces that His­to­ry, Lit­er­a­ture, any­thing relat­ed to Art, and any­thing that ends with “Stud­ies,” are offi­cial­ly use­less.
• 5:12 mark: Declares that Math and Sci­ence majors are cool .… final­ly.
• 9:13 mark: Reads poem by WB Yeats in his own, nov­el way.
• 10:20 mark: Impres­sions begin.
• 14:07: Awk­ward­ly comes on to all the moth­ers in the crowd.
• 15:04: Awk­ward­ly comes on to all the fathers in the crowd.
