That anecdote of his little brother and the "Nestle"-comparison has got to be one of the funniest, purest, most innocent, heartwarming and both childlike and mature things i've ever heard.
That’s better than mine lol I be saying we brown folks we are not black we are brown there’s light brown, medium brown or dark brown but we are all brown lol but yea the chocolate anology is way better lol
@@kittenrifle0754 I am not fully knowledgeable of the situation going on your country, but you South Africans should be proud to have such fearless women/protestors. I find it inspirational.
Trevor's mother has won in life *PERIOD.* This shit she has survived. Being shot in the head and still living.. She is a rock and a force to be reckoned with!
Tyre, in India we used to hunt for the best possible scrap tyre to play with.. if someone had tyre with some thread left on them - then they were king!! :D
This video really increases my respect for Trevor as a person. That he has come so far, achieved so much and stayed so humble and generous towards so many people. The world needs more like him.
I can relate lol. We even built roads for our brick cars. Our one friend who usually had the best highways and byways in their yard became a civil engineer.
Those were the days, used to get a tongue lash from my granny because would even skip lunch, come home with dirt all over my clothes... Now I look at the experiences with a smile
Listening to Trevor talk of "wanting to buy food whenever I want." Boy that struck home, I grew up on a Reservation ( if your not from the U.S. it's a place where they put the native peoples "Indians" they called us) Food was an issue, I recall eating pancakes one day for all three meals. So growing up all I wanted was to eat when I want to eat. I know exactly how he feels cuz that was me.
@@Craigdaspike , Just curious when you say "Same" do you mean you are also Native? If so what Nation/Tribe...I am Seneca from WNY area of U.S. I know you could be from anywhere in the world. As I have spoke with Tribesmen from the Zulu in Zimbabwe.
@@miriamschiro1773 , Now sure about the strongest ( I do catch your meaning though), but I do have a great appreciation for meals still. And I eat very slow as it is still a big deal. Thanks for your kind words Miriam. Stay healthy :)
And everyone thinks African kids grow up impoverished,sick and being chased by lions.This is the side of Africa the media dont show.What beautiful memories
no, not everybody thinks so. i lived in East Africa, many things to love and many things not to like but that was my place to live and I am thinking to go back one day.
I have read " Born a Crime " and I can say for sure Trevor Noah is inspirational. He has gone through so much but his attitude towards life is amazing. Love from India ❤️
Ok. I'm a South Korean trying to improve my English watching American late night shows. And I'm so happy that I can enjoy Trevor now that I get his accent. I used to only watch Jimmy Kimmel because his jokes are not that difficult and he speaks clearly. And then I could watch Jimmy Fallon soon after because he's got lots of easy to follow formats on his show though he kind of murmurs quite a bit. Then soon after I was fine with Stephen Colbert & Seth Meyers along with Conan O'brien & John Oliver, at about the same time range, but consecutively. These four took me some time binge watching all the episodes! (Esp. LWT, they're so informative and funny, too!) Then now, Trevor Noah. I used to wish I could watch Trevor comfortably because so many people seem to enjoy him but I couldn't because I'm not a native at English. And here I am, I'm so happy! So I'm just throwing this here. Thanks for the great show Trevor!
Seeing Trevor's story about bricks brought back memories from my childhood. At age 8, growing up in a small village in northern Sweden, the coolest thing to do during school breaks was breaking and milling bricks to create powder and then mixing the powder with water to "paint" the stone wall beside the school. The bricks were mostly small pieces of roofing tiles, and the teachers understood the fun we had since they had done similar things when they were kids. This was in the late 1980's, before the era of video games and computers. Also, South Africa and Sweden may be half a world apart and an extremely different environments to grow up in. But the ability of children to play with whatever "toys" we could find is the same all over the world, and kids up here are still playing with bricks to this date.
That's awesome! I grew up in southern Sweden in the 2000s and being in Russia over summer because of my family there, I remember playing with bricks with my cousin... Our uncle was building a house on the lot we owned outside the city, and when they had bricks laying around we would play with them like cars. The most fun we had was when the workers brought in a huge pile of sand and we would just have so much fun with the sand, making tunnels and bridges and roads for our brick cars... Good times...
@Andreas Viklund as i was a at the age of 6-8 ( Im born in 2000) we played the same game here in Germany. There was this brickwall at our school with lots of little holes in its surface because of the generations of children before us. So we kept on the tradition to hit a brick ( that is laying on this brickwall ( brick is coming from this wall 2)) with a rock. After one or two break the rock was powder, which we put into the holes and filled up with water to paint the hole campus. Teachers didn’t like it when we played this game cause they thought we could get hit by particles which could harm us (happened all the time not gonna lie but it was fun)
It's amazing how we all live in different parts of the world yet we have weirdest things in common... I'm from South Africa and till today, kids play with their car toys in the houses but go play brick cars in the streets during the day😂
Swedish and Angolan here! Grew up in both countries. It seems like no matter what country you grow up in, children have one thing in common: they play with whatever they can get their hands on. We would play with bricks too! Lol
I LOVE you Trevor!!! (Not in a weird way... I'm old enough to be your grandmother). Love you..... you bring so much JOY and LAUGHTER in these stressful times. THANK YOU!!!
That person who laughed when he said his ambition as a child was to be able to buy as much food as he wanted obviously has never been poor. There are unimaginable amounts of people that are in that position every single day.

The Fufi and Panther story oh my Lord it gets me crying for real. Imagine what Panther would feel when Fufi’s not around anymore.

That’s real love right there❤️ Fufi, rest in peace sweetheart❤️
i grew up in Sudan poor , but not that poor like trevor, i'm really impressed that he joke about it!! this man really had a good heart and raised well!! sorry about the bad language ..
@@sawsanmohammed1513 i never had a loving mother but had a alcohilic farther.. never had lots of food never toys. but i worked my ass off for 40 years..raised 3 kids on my own..and i dont regret a moment..i am now retired and have enough...what more can i ask for
He is the kindest person I've ever seen....he keeps on making people laugh ...he loves making jokes not as a part of profession but because he loves it...he talk with people on his own....👍👍👍
Lol, I know hey. Being raised amongst mainly boys, and dad never bought toys (and we didn't even notice).... Bricks, mybulen, making balls with plastics, spintops etc... Those were the days
Lve the way he's humble and keeps it real, when he said his mother changed the channel bcz ppl in Africa are starving, and he says "" we are those kids in Africa 🤣👍🤭
I loved the story where he told his little brother to stop crying about his xbox when his mother was shot and a woman stepped in, thinking Trevor was telling his brother off for crying about his mom.

What I really admire about Trevor is that he openly talks about the times when he was poor in a very authentic way, he's not ashamed of it. I'm Arab and although there are many poor Arabs but there is this idea that being poor is shameful, and I know a lot of celebrities who avoid mentioning they come from poor families. But I think they really need to be more like Trevor, because what he's doing is uniting people by making them feel they can relate. This comment section made my heart warm seeing all of these people talking about their childhood, and the simple times.
It's really unfortunate that it's never really represented But I'm so happy for you Feeling represented can bring such joy, I hope you'll have this pure feeling of being understood and represented more often 💗
I have been raised to NEVER waste food, so when I watched a food fight in an American movie the first time, i was so confused 😂 like why are food fights even a thing? Why are you fighting with food?!? Lol I completely agree Trevor’s mom on that one.
Exactly! And I am not even from poor family and I have never ever seen in my life food fight, is that really happening in real life or just in american movies?
In all my life in America, I never saw a real-life food fight. This is Hollywood. Even if my siblings became mad enough at each other to throw anything, we never ever dared to waste food like this. It looked like crazy fun in movies, but we would never do this with our food.
I am from México, from a small town with very little natural resources and I can identify with this so very much. I grew up with no tv, sometimes we had radio, so we use lots of objects to play with.🥰
Trevor, your painful but beautiful life growing up in South Africa, is so inspiring. You are the strong, funny and sensitive guy today because of all those experiences. Wishing you much happiness in life.
I went into tears when you where talking about your mom telling you about being successful. I dont know why but I did cause my mom always tells me that I will be a successful person. Even though I'm 16 I still have my dream to be as successful as you trevor.
I grew up in a poor neighborhood, i could relate to so much about that brick car story that it almost made me nostalgic. Now reflecting back at my lifestyle, poverty just means lack of money and not necessarily lack of happiness as I still cherish those moments when we had almost nothing. Life is the Boss
How nice for you. Many people cannot say that "we were poor but we had love". Poverty is usually a lot more than lack of money. It does not "just mean a lack of money".
No, the kid did not solve racism. He's wise and telling the truth but a whole lot of people still believe they are superior to others because of their skin color. They still hate and want to put other people in "their place".
@@MTMF.london it’s just a simplification dude. I’m fully aware racism is not solved bc of a metaphor. 😂 You saying racism is not solved is not some big brain moment or anything. It’s just a joke
My dad grew up poor in Colombia so as a child if I was watching anything where there was playing with food- he would make me turn it off. As a child I could not watch Nickelodeon because there was a lot of food fighting! I thought it was the worst rule but now I understand.
Im middle class European and I hate all these movies with food fights. I always discipline my kids when they are playing with food or disrespect the food. There are so many people in the world who die of hunger and I want my kids to know the value of food.
Your voice, the voice of the intellectual immigrant, is important for all of us to hear. Thank you for striving to our country & continuing to share your truth.
Love this guy, makes me want to watch politics and come away with my own opinion. Much like reading the bible. The pastor may give a word but it's up to us to read it for ourselves. Unlike all the trump supporters, the supporters him just like a cult without calling him out on some of his crap. Nobodies perfect and they all make mistakes and some more than others but there still mistakes.
Trevor's grand pa cracking a joke in front of the policeman who came to clear the crowd, including him explains everything. Now you know why Trevor has such a great comic sense 😂
I LOVE Trevor’s stories from growing up in South Africa. I think it’s so important he shares them with Americans. We need to hear these first hand experiences that are so different from our own.
All Abored well, not all children grow up in similar circumstances. I can very much relate to playing with bricks and we didn’t eat out even once a month (food in the home was highly regulated, you ate what you received at a meal and did not have the freedom to snack without permission to eat the item, you didn’t say you didn’t like what was for dinner as it was all there was.) We played with objects we found outdoors and began working as soon as we could find work. We didn’t receive an allowance, as working in the home was expected as a part of the family: if you live there, you work to maintain the home (something I think is lost on many entitled kids.) However, some people have grown up so very spoiled in comparison to the rest of us. I consider myself fortunate to have grown up in a nation with mandatory education for children and the opportunity to attend university, even if I’m still paying off my second degree...despite catching a virus that rendered me disabled. I see these “influencers” who live lives of luxury while their parents work two jobs a piece to support the lifestyle and I am sickened.
Beloved memories 🤝 Except we made our cars with mud in my small northern namibian village. We would make miniature selves,animals,houses, people and re-enact all the stories we see and hear in the village...it was so much fun😍🤩#my definition of porvety is NOT the same as the western definition, I felt rich so I was rich!
Trevor is the one of the best storyteller! I just love how he let the world know about the happiest little things in his childhood which the world otherwise consider as 'poor'. Living in India i remember how my parents discribe their happy childhood memories in their very less developed villages and how they make the most of it.
To be fair, diapers are pretty expensive and not environmentally friendly, so Trevor's method was pretty good, plus the child wouldn't get rashes or chafing etc 👌😁
I'm from Kenya. Grew up there in the 80s. We made our own toys!!! It was great! It was better than toys made by adults!!! We made our own soccer balls! It was great. It affects me today in that I think outside the box. I miss those innocent times!
Trevor has that rare star quality where people who have never met him fall so in love with him.
Came to knw about him recently bt ilove him somethn amzing about him great guy

Lol, I know hey. Being raised amongst mainly boys, and dad never bought toys (and we didn't even notice).... Bricks, mybulen, making balls with plastics, spintops etc... Those were the days

When Trevor makes a baby/child voice it’s the cutest thing EVER!!!!!
Lve the way he's humble and keeps it real, when he said his mother changed the channel bcz ppl in Africa are starving, and he says "" we are those kids in Africa 🤣👍🤭
I still remember that video with Trevor's grandma and I wish he would do another one like that, she was honestly so hilarious and full of life.
I loved the story where he told his little brother to stop crying about his xbox when his mother was shot and a woman stepped in, thinking Trevor was telling his brother off for crying about his mom.
Anika Aggarwal !!! Ohhhh it was so emotional 😭!!
@Gwendolyn Williams 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I love your reaction to this David what ever his name is, comments. This one made my day 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yes
No :)
It's a deep story too
Nope
I did😢
"... people are like chocolates ... it's all Nestle" - oh, man ;)

@Beaten by Rock 😂 😂 😂 😂 You are forgive, maybe you don't understand the meaning behind the saying.
Seeing Trevor's story about bricks brought back memories from my childhood. At age 8, growing up in a small village in northern Sweden, the coolest thing to do during school breaks was breaking and milling bricks to create powder and then mixing the powder with water to "paint" the stone wall beside the school. The bricks were mostly small pieces of roofing tiles, and the teachers understood the fun we had since they had done similar things when they were kids. This was in the late 1980's, before the era of video games and computers. Also, South Africa and Sweden may be half a world apart and an extremely different environments to grow up in. But the ability of children to play with whatever "toys" we could find is the same all over the world, and kids up here are still playing with bricks to this date.
Proudly South African 🤟🏾💯🇿🇦
Yeboooo😁😆
that story about his grandfather and the policeman always gets me.
Can you explain me the joke please?
@@zaynshariff4331 the joke is that his sister was too unattractive to kiss
When I watch videos like this, I sometimes forget that there is a virus and the world has become a gloomy place
Thanks for reminding everyone.
@DAVID GOERTZ what 😂
@@jii. you're welcome:-) come everyday 😊
It will be over some day. Just hang on.
I do better: I COMPLETELY forget! :D
What I really admire about Trevor is that he openly talks about the times when he was poor in a very authentic way, he's not ashamed of it. I'm Arab and although there are many poor Arabs but there is this idea that being poor is shameful, and I know a lot of celebrities who avoid mentioning they come from poor families. But I think they really need to be more like Trevor, because what he's doing is uniting people by making them feel they can relate.
This comment section made my heart warm seeing all of these people talking about their childhood, and the simple times.
Isaac has the best description I've ever heard, "we are all Nestle"
Sums it up nicely
Sometimes we should see things as children again.

He is amazing a great story teller ,has the real fact of being an African man,he actually makes me proud being African race.
Trevor is just the sweetest person. That story with his grandpa the one with his brother, and his dog..!! Laughter and love❤️❤️

6:38 YES! Food fights are the most obscene thing in American films. It has always infuriated me! Mamma Trevor is right
Same! Also i never really got the point of what good fights are supposed to be
@@amirarsalanganji8304 and it is so disgusting 🤢
When you‘re half African and half Swiss and have two fully African half brothers and finally feel represented🥺😍
I am a Nigerian in Nigeria and playing with bricks, sticks, rubber band, tyres were my best toys growing up.
Trevor Noah one of the most brilliant genuine comedian I've ever come across, dude if one day I go to NYC I'll come to your show !
I love Trevor's kids voice it's just so adorable ☺
Playing with the imagination is way more healthy for a child's mind than elaborate modern toys.
I know it sounds "boomer" but I really believe that
Absolutely, i wish more parents understood this
I've seen kiddos play with pots and pans while their toys were in a pile on the floor.
IKR, I used to go out into the garden and dress twig dolls in leaves and flower petals.
I had the same xperience we made dolls out of banana stems with hair wish i had a 📷.
I think that's why among toys, Lego is the best. It lets you build your own world.
Trevor deserves all the success he has. Mad respect to this guy.
Me: the PERFECT man doesn't exist.
Noah: *exists*
I just love the stories that Trevor shares. He tells them in such a way and I can easily picture them in my mind.

The food story was the best. You're so humble. Your book is a favorite read in our home. Thank you for being you. Bravo to your family.
As an American who grew up in South Africa, Trevor’s stories always feel like coming home.
👀wait what😂
I'm so confused 😑😕
@@Black_Asiaa_Official They live in America now but grew up in South Africa so Trevor's stories remind them of home
This is hilarious if you're American and if you're South African it makes you cry. Love you, Trevor.
I have been raised to NEVER waste food, so when I watched a food fight in an American movie the first time, i was so confused 😂 like why are food fights even a thing? Why are you fighting with food?!? Lol I completely agree Trevor’s mom on that one.
Exactly! And I am not even from poor family and I have never ever seen in my life food fight, is that really happening in real life or just in american movies?
In all my life in America, I never saw a real-life food fight. This is Hollywood. Even if my siblings became mad enough at each other to throw anything, we never ever dared to waste food like this. It looked like crazy fun in movies, but we would never do this with our food.
I come from a wealthy family but my parents grew up poor so if I was ever caught doing that I'd probably be beaten then fed to the pigs 😑
i grew up in America and i never could stand to watch food fights. i still cant. Not only are they wasteful they are so messy.
Where you're from?
I could literally watch him talking about his past, all day. Amazing.
I am from México, from a small town with very little natural resources and I can identify with this so very much.
I grew up with no tv, sometimes we had radio, so we use lots of objects to play with.🥰
🙆🏾♂🤭
Trevor, your painful but beautiful life growing up in South Africa, is so inspiring. You are the strong, funny and sensitive guy today because of all those experiences. Wishing you much happiness in life.
This Trevor Noah guy is a mixture of wit, intelligence and brilliance.
Our skin can be black or white or mix but we are all human being.

I went into tears when you where talking about your mom telling you about being successful. I dont know why but I did cause my mom always tells me that I will be a successful person. Even though I'm 16 I still have my dream to be as successful as you trevor.
didn't realize i had watched the whole 18 mins until it was over, i never get tired of hearing trevor's stories
I grew up in a poor neighborhood, i could relate to so much about that brick car story that it almost made me nostalgic. Now reflecting back at my lifestyle, poverty just means lack of money and not necessarily lack of happiness as I still cherish those moments when we had almost nothing.
Life is the Boss
How nice for you. Many people cannot say that "we were poor but we had love". Poverty is usually a lot more than lack of money. It does not "just mean a lack of money".
Hahaha Trevor mixing English and Zulu/Xhosa is hilarious, shoutout from South Africa. 🤣🤣
Lol Heyyy I also played with bricks and pretended they were cars with my little brother 😂🙈 fun times in South Africa 🇿🇦
When he was talking about his little brother explaining race with chocolate, I was like damn man can't believe this kid just solved racism
No, the kid did not solve racism. He's wise and telling the truth but a whole lot of people still believe they are superior to others because of their skin color. They still hate and want to put other people in "their place".
@@MTMF.london it’s just a simplification dude. I’m fully aware racism is not solved bc of a metaphor. 😂 You saying racism is not solved is not some big brain moment or anything. It’s just a joke

@@janetmcarthur5257 who is they? What did you mean?
Oh, man. I can listen this Man forever.... Trevor keep talking!
There's a light in trevor's eyes. Everyone sees that except the haters
My dad grew up poor in Colombia so as a child if I was watching anything where there was playing with food- he would make me turn it off. As a child I could not watch Nickelodeon because there was a lot of food fighting! I thought it was the worst rule but now I understand.
I was born in Colombia but I was adopted to Norway 😂
hunger it's not a jok, it does kill people in the most hopeless way
Same. I still do that with my children, and we aren't even poor. It's just a good rule; don't encourage wastefulness.
Using food as a prop for entertainment is one thing I can never get behind. Food fight really makes me mad.
Im middle class European and I hate all these movies with food fights. I always discipline my kids when they are playing with food or disrespect the food. There are so many people in the world who die of hunger and I want my kids to know the value of food.
I'm still so glad that Jon found Trevor and installed him as his successor
Your voice, the voice of the intellectual immigrant, is important for all of us to hear.

Love this guy, makes me want to watch politics and come away with my own opinion. Much like reading the bible. The pastor may give a word but it's up to us to read it for ourselves. Unlike all the trump supporters, the supporters him just like a cult without calling him out on some of his crap. Nobodies perfect and they all make mistakes and some more than others but there still mistakes.
I honestly love Trevor Noah and his stories. He has led such an interesting life.
Trevor is such a great storyteller with such great stories to tell. He's a window into another culture.
Trevor's grand pa cracking a joke in front of the policeman who came to clear the crowd, including him explains everything. Now you know why Trevor has such a great comic sense 😂
I LOVE Trevor’s stories from growing up in South Africa. I think it’s so important he shares them with Americans. We need to hear these first hand experiences that are so different from our own.
All Abored well, not all children grow up in similar circumstances. I can very much relate to playing with bricks and we didn’t eat out even once a month (food in the home was highly regulated, you ate what you received at a meal and did not have the freedom to snack without permission to eat the item, you didn’t say you didn’t like what was for dinner as it was all there was.) We played with objects we found outdoors and began working as soon as we could find work. We didn’t receive an allowance, as working in the home was expected as a part of the family: if you live there, you work to maintain the home (something I think is lost on many entitled kids.)
However, some people have grown up so very spoiled in comparison to the rest of us. I consider myself fortunate to have grown up in a nation with mandatory education for children and the opportunity to attend university, even if I’m still paying off my second degree...despite catching a virus that rendered me disabled.
I see these “influencers” who live lives of luxury while their parents work two jobs a piece to support the lifestyle and I am sickened.
All Abored Oh, and on the note on influencers: look how Trevor grew up and where he is now.
Trevor you such down to earth men ,I love they way your tell your child hood story ,I really visualize myself there.

The bricks part got me so much because in Ghana “Africa🇬🇭 “ were I grew we did same thing 😀thanks for the memories Trevy😊
Beloved memories 🤝
Except we made our cars with mud in my small northern namibian village.
We would make miniature selves,animals,houses, people and re-enact all the stories we see and hear in the village...it was so much fun😍🤩#my definition of porvety is NOT the same as the western definition, I felt rich so I was rich!
In Jamaica, little boys make cars and trucks out of juice boxes.
@@natrlgrl we do that in South Africa too, But bricks were the best😂😂😂.... It all depends on the mood too
From Ghana as well
@@natrlgrl We also do this in Ghana :)
Trevor is the one of the best storyteller! I just love how he let the world know about the happiest little things in his childhood which the world otherwise consider as 'poor'. Living in India i remember how my parents discribe their happy childhood memories in their very less developed villages and how they make the most of it.
To be fair, diapers are pretty expensive and not environmentally friendly, so Trevor's method was pretty good, plus the child wouldn't get rashes or chafing etc 👌😁
