    trevor’s mom has won in life with this man.
  • @___LC___
    Trevor has that rare star quality where people who have never met him fall so in love with him.
  • @oziologyify
    I am a Nigerian in Nigeria and playing with bricks, sticks, rubber band, tyres were my best toys growing up.
  • @shine-uy5fq
    "You strike a woman, you strike a rock." That has got to be one of the most beautiful and powerful phrases I've heard in my life. That is fire
  • @NiRudraws
    “You can have a black chocolate, you can have a white chocolate, you can have a milk chocolate but it’s all nestle!” — All the same 🥺❤️
  • @megeez
    Trevor is one of those guys who would talk for hours , n you wouldn't even get bored.
  • @brianneb7691
    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.
  • @vohoaibac5126
    When you‘re half African and half Swiss and have two fully African half brothers and finally feel represented🥺😍
  • I am in South Africa now and kids are playing with bricks as I am typing this, they have toy cars but the brick are just different man
  • @shadowcat1606
    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.
  • When you realize that Panther ran away from the falling gate but Fufi didn't cause Fufi couldn't hear the gate falling.. that's heartbreaking. 😢
  • @erikaiam8864
    Am I the only one who cried when he told the story about Fufi?
  • @0T772
    "There are children starving in Africa" "WE are starving in Africa!!!" that hurt a little, I love Trevor's mom and I don't even know her!!!! Lol
  • 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.
  • @ryanhayley3393
    The story about his brother pooping in the garden had me in tears, I fucking love Trevor, what a legend.
  • @Reason1717
    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.
  • 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 ❤️
  • The broken brick was the convertible car and the long clay brick was the bus, damn, those were the day.
