Trevor Noah: I Wish You Would (2022)
Lacking wit. Must try harder.
So first up, I concede that TN has some charisma and great stage presence, but his content was just so shallow. He tried and failed to land several broad, factually incorrect, and over-simplified generalisations e.g Covid in Africa. You would think that as a S. African being truthful about this would be more important to TN than being funny. He was actually neither of these things.
Quick-win chuckle statements for liberals were cast regularly to maintain some momentum and distract from the lack of any real wit. Can i ask who enjoys the self-congratulatory tone of TN, and how terrifically cultured he is? The best comedians do not try to win the cultural exchange during a stand-up routine, and when someone like Ricky Gervais does, he rightly gets called out for it. Even the ever-polite Canadians were running on fumes at times. A great deal of time was spent delivering self-absorbed 'ten minute set-up' jokes, which ultimately lead to a 'funny accent' - choose from the Black German one, the Indian friend, the Indian Scottish waiter. All unfunny and mildly annoying jokes. Humour for the feeble-minded.
His T*ump stuff is a bit funny, but it's honestly because T*ump is doing the heavy-lifting, oh, and I just realised, it's just a 'funny accent' again. You want funny on T*ump? - See John Mulaney's 'horse in a hospital' skit, no accent needed. And by the way, who on earth is TN to tell anyone who they should vote for? Really, that is 101 stuff.
So, it was a load of nonsense. I would enjoy watching someone spiky and acidic pick this apart - Frankie Boyle perhaps.
