Trevor Noah: Afraid of the Dark

These people are just some haters who can't appreciate Trevor Noah's jokes, don't get me wrong, it's not the best stand-up comedy routine ever , but it's still pretty enjoyable. Come on guys, stop being so critical and get a sense of humor. It's not like he's flippantly joking about the Holocaust or something, jeez.

Trevor Noah isn't the funniest comedian but he might be the most impressive one. Trevor is the only comedian I know that is politically correct, unoffensive, meanful, smart and STILL manages to be funny.

As an objective person, I normally scroll through the titles available that Netflix offers under a category then take my pick like taking a chance at a new ice cream flavor you haven't had before, say like wasabi as an example. Stand up comedians are good at observing normally hence they have the ability to mimic, imitate, make impressions and make fun . Comedy and the type of comedy another person appreciates is most likely not the same for me and not the same again for another person. The common denominator of all stand up comedians is the fun spirit. The material and writing varies but at the end of the day, they won't censor what they feel like saying, for me Trevor Noah is a sponge who absorbs things easily, be that accents, a portion of the culture, local customs or traditions and he turns it into an array of hilarious skits.

I really enjoyed the first part of this stand up special: hilarious jokes and nice reflections. But as minutes pass the show loses quality. It seems as if he had prepared a 40 minutes show and Netflix had told him to make it longer. He spends the last minutes with longer and less funny jokes. Just to put an example, he spends about five minutes with a boring joke in which he imitates Nelson Mandela and Barack Obama. All in all, it was an entertaining special. It just suprised me how it goes from super funny to quite boring.

Incredibly funny! Filled with great accents that never disappoint! Yes, I have heard some version of a few jokes before but his delivery and take on them makes all the difference. Had me in tears, laughing so hard a few times. Would recommend to anyone. This is what truly good comedy looks like! "Traveling is the cure for ignorance" is my favorite line and SO true!
