Why would you wanna bury your history? -Trevor Noah-
Where Was I is a comedy special from Trevor Noah discussing about his journey through many countries. It’s a show that makes me feel like in a history class.
In this show, Where Was I he tells a story about his performance life in many countries. He teaches his audience a history of Germany and France, Berlin and Paris. I just knew that German changed their national anthem from his bit about German history.
He also tells a beautiful sarcastic story about Christopher Columbus. My favorite bit.
Christopher Columbus is an example of how a person who made a mistake but can have a holiday named after him. This shows that white people can fail-up
That’s the bit, more or less. I can’t remember exactly the bit. I’m not Trevor Noah.
What make this special is the best special show to end the 2023 is that he delivers every history by comparing it with his funny analogy. So, that makes this show is one and only unbored History class.
The crazy comparison he does is that he can bring audiences to his theater of mind and we feel like “wow it’s quite true”. He makes comparison from his analogy of German changing national anthem but they didn’t change the bit with Star Wars after winning a war but they don’t change the anthem from their enemy :))
With France, he compare the statement of “customer is a king” in Detroit and in Paris. He says that: “customer is a king, no, we can do that in France. You know what France do to a king?” Again, it’s more or less like that. I’m not Trevor Noah. But my point is how he can remind us about history, France history. He makes us flashbacks to the France revolution era. He makes me remember Charles Dickens’ historical novel A Tale Of Two Cities that tells a story of France revolution.
For me, It’s like hearing audiobook of a historical fiction novel but contained extra comedy.
How Trevor delivers his jokes with his ability of impersonate, act-out, and his voice, ahh god his voice. Black people are blessed with a voice from heaven.
I watched the Where Was I after Ricky Gervais’ Armageddon. (I’ll write about that too). Where Ricky has a bit about racism. And Trevor also discuss about “top five of white people like” crazy, right?
Yesterday you were like “who is this guy” but now you’ll be like “best comedian eveerrr!”
That sentence comes right after he told the audience about the number from the “top five of white people like”. I wish I can spoil you what is that, but go watch yourself dammit it’s already on Netflix since December 19.
- added to five fav comics: Trevor Noah.
Maybe that’s all I can tell you about Where Was I hope you enjoy reading it and watch it.
Go watch it you lazy, Don’t burry your history!
