Ben Affleck received an honorary doctorate from Brown University during the school’s commencement ceremony over the weekend and boy is his GRIN tired! Hahahahah. Ahaha. Very good. But really he did receive an honorary doctorate, and in response to students chanting “speech” (and, I have to imagine, after tearing up the piece of paper on which he had written “ArGO CLASS OF 2013!”) he said, “This is a spectacular honor for me. Among things today, in terms of higher education, I pass Matt Damon.” Hahah. WE GET IT, YOU’RE FRIENDS! Two forever buddies. Ben Affleck deserves his honorary degree, though, if only for this photo of him holding his honorary degree and grinning straight into the camera, which I am loving so much right now. Dr. Affleck and his happy face. Are you loving it, too? Enough to caption it? I HOPE SO!

Winner will receive special placement in this week’s Monsters’ Ball and an honorary doctorate from Videogum University.* (Photo via Celebitchy, full-size grin after the jump.)

*Not a thing.
