Turned it off halfway though ... boring.

level ii

I still have all the same to make it through ten minutes of whatever of his stand up up specials

level two

I hate to say it, only I agree. Super weird to starting time off a bit with a infinitesimal long serious talk. And then I struggle to stay engaged with his one-act subsequently that. Not to mention he tried to milk the New York bit to death at the start. Which would be hilarious, yous know, if I lived in New York. Obvious trying to get the crowd into it, but leading virtually straight into super serious was counter productive.

level ii

10 seconds in "I'm walking over here"

The line was "I'yard walking here" get it correct on your goddamn special for chrissakes. Next.

level 1

Of the 3 jokes in the trailer, the only 1 I haven't heard a version of is the Obama one.

level ii

Lookie here, Eddie Griffin had a bit near Obama'due south pimp swagger!

Leaving bated the fact he's a joke thief, anything that comes out of Trevor Noah's mouth is neither funny nor original.

level 1

I don't know if I'll watch it. I've never cared for him in the past, and his holier than thou attitude wore thin while he was on the Daily Prove

level two

Disclaimer, I'g a fan.

I empathise a lot of critiques of Noah, I have plenty myself, merely I've never understood the "holier than thou" critique. Intendance to elaborate?

level 1

I've always plant that I watch TN hoping that he is nigh to get funnier but it most never happens. When he first appeared on the scene he was fascinating equally a kind of blast from a different civilization and that kept him interesting for a while just then the Daily show seemed to exist a pair of shoes he could never promise to fill and the Xhosa stuff got quondam. TN is a comedian who's ok.. and, for the moment at to the lowest degree, not much more than. Mayhap he needs to play information technology less rubber?

level 2

He'south very likable then I go on circling back to see if he'south striking his step however, but comedy isn't measured in likability.

level i

this thread is atrocious. What's upward with all the hate of standups in the customs recently? Anyone with a modicum of success gets shredded.

Reminds me of liking bands in high schoolhouse - equally soon as they had a music video in rotation or signed to a major label, they "sold out" and were hated.

level 2

Seriously, its my first comment on this subreddit, and truly you guys don't like to enjoy one-act with a light spirit.

How do you guys fifty-fifty enjoy stand ups in the beginning place, if you have such a judgmental perspective towards it?

level 1

5 out if ten, not peachy but not bad.

level ane

I'm personally a big fan, and I know I'one thousand biased since I lived in South Africa for a while; his jokes are definitely a flake better when y'all have first person experience with the Africa references. I don't call up he'southward the funniest guy in stand upwardly, only he's and so expert with language and has such a unique perspective I remember he puts on a actually entertaining and insightful show.

level 1

Boy, that hacky charisma and cutesy emphasis really wins people over doesn't information technology?

At to the lowest degree he'southward consequent! This man has never fabricated me laugh once in his unabridged career. He's simply not funny. Definitely non on any comedian'due south tiptop list. Uninspiring, milquetoast mediocrity.

His popularity boggles the heed.

level 2

This just in: shit you don't similar can exist pop.

level ane

The pussy joke was also done by Betty white/Joan Rivers too I believe...
