Trevor Noah: I Wish You Would (2022 TV Special)
3/10
I Wish You Wouldn't, Trevor
29 December 2022
Warning: Spoilers
It's the 2020s. The foreign accent impressions is getting really tired by now. So are the "west is trash and everything else are awesome" jokes. I'm East Asian and am taking no offence, it's just no longer funny when it's recycled 10000 times.

Then there are jokes based on alternative facts. His facts. Falsehoods like 'Africa handled Covid better than the West' (they didn't, cases and deaths are found to be highly underreported). It's as cringe-worthy as some right wing comedians basing their jokes on falsehoods and their redneck audiences cheering it.

Even his Donald Trump and Boris Johnson jokes are funnier during the Daily Show episodes. Overall, this special felt preachy, old and tired. No where close to the better comedians of his generation like Mark Normand, Joe List and Sam Morrill.
