After dinner speakers need to balance a light-hearted tone with a serious topic. Typically, these speeches are expected to be light and somewhat humorous, but at the same time, they are expected to make a serious, inspirational, or emotionally moving point related to the event. After dinner speakers are generally expected to speak briefly, since after all, who wants to listen to a long speech after eating a big meal?
Example:
"Well, who of the guests knows these poisonous flowers which decorate our glass of wine?"
