If this were to happen in my school, the teachers wouldn't even have to step in because the guys would be laughed off the stage. Fortunately, this is a work of fiction and the mob mentality caused the audience to sheep onto the interests of the residents of Sakurasou.
The speech itself is mostly reflective of the general mood of the ceremony, which is basically a formal farewell between the third years and the other students. It is pretty cheesy when you look at it casually, but from the perspective of a student in that ceremony it certainly doesn't. Of course, if the school has a really cynical student body then this probably wouldn't have been effective, but as you said, fortunately in works of fiction people tend not to be that cynical
