Discussion Board Three: Blog Deep Dive: Trevor Noah’s Born a Crime
I really like Kill Tony because it’s raw, unpredictable, and just straight-up funny. The way Tony Hinchcliffe roasts people and how random comedians get a shot to perform makes it different from regular stand-up. It’s cool to see new talent, and the jokes can go anywhere. Comedy matters because the world is stressful, and people need to laugh. It’s one of the few things that lets everyone joke about real stuff without taking life too seriously.
Trevor Noah says the “genius of apartheid” was how the government divided people so they wouldn’t come together and fight back. Instead of just making white people more powerful, they made all the different groups turn on each other. The Xhosa tribe (his mom’s side) was more strategic and believed in planning, while the Zulu tribe was more about fighting head-on. Noah’s birth was a crime because his mom was Black and his dad was white, and during apartheid, that was illegal.
At first, it sounds crazy that his mom threw him out of a car, but later you find out she did it to save him. A guy was driving them somewhere dangerous, and she knew if they stayed in the car, they could be hurt or worse. Religion was really important to his mom—she always took him to different churches and believed in faith no matter what. Their relationship is funny but deep. She was strict but also really loved him and taught him how to think for himself.
Tacos are basically happiness in food form. You get soft or crunchy shells filled with meat, cheese, salsa, and whatever else you like. It’s the perfect mix of flavors in every bite. In the video, his reaction to trying a taco is hilarious because it shows how something small can feel life-changing. I get it—sometimes you try a new food, and it just hits differently. I relate to his story because he talks about experiencing new things and realizing how different life can be depending on where you grow up.
