    It's boring

    Not much can be said about this. It has a low entertaining value. He told a couple of slow and boring stories but barely any jokes. The Trump bashing quota is also filled which is expected from every comedian nowadays. It was interesting that he spoke Xhosa.

    Not my favourite among his previous standups

    Just seen it on Netflix. I think it's fair to give it a 6/10. There's nothing bad about the show but there is nothing brilliant or profound about it. I just finished the show and already I'm forgetting about what I've watched or heard. There's simply nothing memorable. Compared to all of his previous standups, this one is the worse for me. Normally you can expect something great or original especially towards the end of any standups, but Trevoh just thew in and recycle some stuffs and ends his show that way.

    Not sure why Trevor choose to do this show. Should have waited for better materials before doing one. Overall felt very monotonous and underwhelming. I don't think I will ever re-watch this one. (I've re-watch his other standups countless times).

    Do you want a napkin?

    I laughed so much on certain subject. When he talked about his "camping" trip and the tacos!!! This was my first time ever watching anything of his and I have to say I loved it.

    Patricia needs her own sitcom

    Trevor is as wonderful as he always is. As a die hard south african fan who has watched every one of his stand ups, every daily show and all of his YouTube "between the scenes" posts, a couple of this shows sketches were not entirely new. But I will not fault it on that. They were still funny, albeit they were clearly adapted for a more American audience. I wish everyone had a mom like Patricia. She is hilarious. We need a Noah family sitcom ASAP.

    Why the negative reviews?

    Trevor Noah was comical. He had witty jokes and talked about current events. The jokes delivered and were on point. If you feel some type of way about racism, and live in a bubble maybe this is not for you. Stick with your flavorless potatoes.

    • Quotes

      Trevor Noah: You also have to learn the meanings of words that you already knew when you move to America. For instance, where I'm from there's a garment that men commonly wear under their shirts. It's white and it's sleeveless. Where I'm from, we refer to this as a "vest". Okay? I've now learned, in American, it is known as a "wife beater". -Yeah... I have so many questions.
