I've done a fine one as well in the past, (and deserved the "helpful" suggestions on comm use

Where it approached a low level "Toolish" level was the added,... "I am Captain "Marlboro", and along with the First Officer, you are in the capable hands of two pilots with a combined 26 years of experience as US Navy pilots"
Of course he didn't mention his FO's name during his PA.
Even bigger "Tools" were the endless idiots jumping in with "GUAAARRRRD" in the middle of the PA when there is zero chance of him hearing it and no doubt blocking more self flagellating parts of an entertaining guard PA.
LOL... If only they would all shut up so the rest of us can appreciate the hilarity of the PA.
No lie, I once heard a captain on guard give his PA and add in, "And both of us are graduates of the United States Air Force Academy, so you know you're in good hands." HAHAHAHA.
