Rudolph brought down the Superdome during Tulane University's graduation on May 16 in New Orleans, La. The comedian ended her speech with the musical performance parodying various pop star singing styles, bringing aloofness, husky breathiness, extreme vibrato and Beyonce's viral-worthy facial contortions made during this year's Superbowl halftime show.

Anyone who has had to sit through an incredibly lengthy commencement will appreciate Rudolph breathing new life into an otherwise very dull affair.
