Trevor Noah: Son of Patricia

Just seen it on Netflix. I think it's fair to give it a 6/10. There's nothing bad about the show but there is nothing brilliant or profound about it. I just finished the show and already I'm forgetting about what I've watched or heard. There's simply nothing memorable. Compared to all of his previous standups, this one is the worse for me. Normally you can expect something great or original especially towards the end of any standups, but Trevoh just thew in and recycle some stuffs and ends his show that way.

Not sure why Trevor choose to do this show. Should have waited for better materials before doing one. Overall felt very monotonous and underwhelming. I don't think I will ever re-watch this one. (I've re-watch his other standups countless times).

When I read the reviews on here I'm just glad I don't have the same sense of humor than the negative reviewers, as it is obvious for who they voted for. Okay I will admit that nowadays almost every comedian makes fun of Trump at one point, but then again it's very understandable as he's probably the dumbest president that ever existed and probably will be for centuries more. But I get it that if you voted for that orange racist nitwit that you're not going to be happy when comedians bash on him. You can check every stand-up comedy where there is a bit of Trump bashing and you will get the same negative reviews. That's something you just can't avoid when half of your audience consists out of dumb rednecks. Anyways just don't pay attention to those negative reviews as Trevor Noah has more humor in his little pinkie toe than the entire republican audience all together. I thought his jokes, mimics and accents were very funny and I'm glad I'm not the only one. The only minor point to me is that there were some jokes that I heard before from his previous shows, funny jokes for sure, but I think every new show should consist out of complete new material, especially for his fans that watch every show of him. If you liked Trevor Noah before this show you will still like him after watching Son Of Patricia.

Not much can be said about this. It has a low entertaining value. He told a couple of slow and boring stories but barely any jokes. The Trump bashing quota is also filled which is expected from every comedian nowadays. It was interesting that he spoke Xhosa.

Trevor is as wonderful as he always is. As a die hard south african fan who has watched every one of his stand ups, every daily show and all of his YouTube "between the scenes" posts, a couple of this shows sketches were not entirely new. But I will not fault it on that. They were still funny, albeit they were clearly adapted for a more American audience. I wish everyone had a mom like Patricia. She is hilarious. We need a Noah family sitcom ASAP.

As uncomfortable as it is that he uses the n-word in his stories, he does so with elegance and in a way that always has a meaning. Son of Patricia was great, although I would've loved more about Patricia to be honest.
