Trevor Noah: Where Was I

[The Deadman]

Trevor Noahs material is nothing but anti Trump and if youre begging me to watch it, it probably sucks. Pass.

You're both thinking of his work on "The Daily Show." Which, you know.

Had a whole team of writers. It wasn't just him.

This is just him. Just his stories. Just his thoughts.

And he doesn't mention any President. Not. Even. Once.

And if you're going to let your own bigotry (and abject lack of curiosity?) stop you from giving it a shot, that's fine.

But, I assure you: I'm not "begging" anyone.

It was just a wonderful hour of humor that left us with a lot to think & talk about.

I was excited, so I thought I'd share.

And, again: if it's not for you, that's cool.

I mean, it's your loss. But still. Totally cool .

No, I don't have Netflix and don't want it.

I've seen a bit of Trevor Noah many years ago. I didn't find him funny. And this is supposed to be Jon Stewart's successor? Meh.

[The Deadman]

Nah, it's not my loss, I have no interest in his garbage.

Hey look, there's that buzzword again.

Ignored.

Its not bigotry to not want to watch humor by someone you don't think is funny. All the jokes I have seen from him have either been on the Anti-Trump bandwagon (which is fair enough to joke about a sitting president) or hating people based on their race.

I wont watch it because I gave him a chance on Daily Show and he was *painfully* unfunny. I have seen several clips of him over the years and none of them were very funny either. You can blame it on writers all you want, but at the end of the day the jokes are his responsibility.

So yeah, quit the virtue shaming. Its very unbecoming.

Dude, you said, "Please," three times.

I might watch it, since I haven't seen him do anything other than The Daily Show, and judge for myself. I might watch Gervais' new one, too. Also, I think Chappelle's got another one going, too, right?

We watched this a couple weeks ago here. It was fine. He told some funny interweaving jokes, nothing that required a special or insightful mind to come up with.

Robertfiduciary, I've told you before that you've drawn lines against your 'enemies' but in fact no one here, myself included, ever cared that you are trans and gay. No one cares. Trevor Noah's mediocre comedy isn't going to fix your psychosis - what you really need is to see a psychologist to help you get over your "hero in the story" complex that you've woven to "fight the evil" all around you.

But for everyone else, the Trevor Noah special was fine. The content is hardly "eye opening" or leading the "awakening". For any normal person who wants to spend 45 minutes chuckling every ten minutes or so and watch it through dinner, it's fine. There is a cameo at the end that was unexpected and funny.

The new Chapelle special is solid. It's not a masterpiece but that's measured against his own output - he's always a step above everyone else. Lots of typical "mastercraft" talk and "the journey I've made talk" but it fits and gives credibility to his messaging. Absolutely better than the Trevor Noah material.

I can't stand that guy.

And he got hammered at the golden globes by Ricky Gervais' special
