I noticed that too! This is I'm sure neither here nor there, but can you imagine how cute his and his partner,s kids will be? Not to mention intelligent and funny!
"Just give me a moment, I've been through a lot.." Thats gold, made me laugh so hard.. I love that he could be totally hilarious and super charming at the same time
"If you _don't_ know what I'm talking about, God bless you. You have lived a wonderful life. If you _know_ what I'm talking about, God bless you. We-we've been through a lot." This is so relatable, _oh my goodness._
I think the best part of sitting behind that desk for Trevor is looking at all the smiling faces in the audience and knowing that he is responsible for harnessing all that joy through laughter.
My mother, depending on her mood would either whoop us or lecture us. I would always prefer the whooping instead of the lecture because it would go on for hour after, hour after. Man oh man my mother sure could could talk. 🥰 never thought i would say this but, now i wish i could just hear her. RIP mom miss u.
The stick thing; if you bring a small one, your sibling will be asked to go and bring a perfect one. And your sibling knows that if they dare bring something that is below 'standard' they join you!
My uncle was going to be punished and my grandpa told my dad to go and choose a stick with lot thorns of it. My dad took off most of them and my grandpa noticed it. At the end only my dad got beaten 😅
Anyone here remembers the 'Slipper'? And then when we came to the age where we could finally outrun our parents it upgraded into the 'Flying Slipper' and it hit with precise accuracy?
we play slippers throwing it to hit other slippers. so we had good practice. i dont know about heat seeking slippers, but boomerang slippers i know. hahahaha

Lmao. When my mother was really angry, she will hit us and we'll cry harder, but tbh? I'd rather that than having her mood at 20% My cousins, though, really wanted that my eldest cousin (the one responsible for them) could just hit them with her hand rather than hearing her scolding them down for hours. Literally. One time, when they accidentally used up their gas money, they had to prepare themselves mentally before going to my eldest cousin to ask for more. She sharply asked "You used it up?" And then, she sat them down (bear in mind they were already in college at that time) and snapped to scolding mode as the two college boys pursed their lips and listened to her ranting about saving up money and not to be wasteful. I'm just glad my mom was not one to talk so much. But she sure throw hurtful shades. I love her regardless.
A friend of mine said her parents did that, so one day she decided to roll a log home, the idea been her mother couldn’t pick it up to beat her. It worked. I was really impressed with how clever she was.
Some parents will use you to beat the log or tell you to carry it over your head. Believe me there are many ingenious ways to punish you with that log.
Of the many many different things my mother beat me with, the most memorable was like a multi tool type huge metal spatula with a blade edge. Yes my mother beat me with a object designed to cut things. And she didn't beat me like a child, no she didn't like bend me over and whip my ass, this woman went for the face. She forced my step dad to stop spanking my ass when I was like 11 when he missed when I was bent over my mother's lap and ripped open her leg with a belt it didn't just hurt her, it removed skin.
When I was in 5th grade my mom got me a pink shirt with a cowgirl on a horse logo and she didn't think anything of it. I went to school with it and had kids laughing and saying "ride em cowgirl" me being naive was feeling cool that kids would call me a cowgirl. A very sweet teacher made me stay after 3 period and she said If I could call my mom for her. I did she just nicely said to her that she needed to come over, that I wasn't in trouble but need to come over. My teacher explained to my mom that the shirt was inappropriate it had a text that said "save a horse, ride a cowboy" or something like. My mom was so red and ashamed but was so thankful a nice teacher told her the real meaning of the words to her in Spanish. I felt so ashamed as well that kids were really making fun of me and didn't actually like me. Since then my mom would ask me to translate all the clothes with words on them. Just a experience I can relate too
All those years, and I never thought of pre-breaking the switch. Trevor Noah, I did not know regret until this day. Thanks for that. #existentialcrisis
if the switch broke and the frustration was not released by my family member, a new switch was required. You NEVER wanted them to find the switch, that would be worse (is that a rose bush? think branches, perfect!)
Based on the comments . Every kid knows this experience. He's from Africa, some people on here are from different island nation's, you're from Asia, I'm from America. And literally all of us said the same thing. Many of us are raised with similar values and rules we just make different choices .
Cari exactly how it should be man. Too many people look at it as an only option and then feel bad for doing it. So then they turn into the kind that doesn’t do it at all.
Thanks Sooooooo much for the Idea. I tryed it and it worked like a charm. Told my daughter if she did not clean her room i was going to post the pics on social media.l have NEVER seen her room so clean
I hope you're joking... because she'll grow up doing the same thing to you. What you teach her, means she'll try to do the same. Best way is be the bigger person (literally) and let her know you're the boss (we won't go to funparks, we won't go on holidays, you won't get the new X, I will take your Y, you can't go to friend Z, etc...). Otherwise... Welcome to blackmailing 101
@@Movie2Documentary great minds think alike 👌🏾I'm "smarter than a 5th grader" I may not have kids... but I learned similar Manipulation tactics by babysitting other people's precious but bad ass kids 😅
Movie2Documentary That’s kind of a blackmail, too. Manipulation is undercover blackmail. And we’ve all been through it as kids, it’s how you start to understand and it’s way better than to belt or slap a child
Lugmillord He ain’t joking. That’s really how African parents do it. Mom used to make us get our own tree branch/sticks to whip our asses. If we get a skinny one, we were in even more trouble 😳! We hide under the bed, but the sticks were long enough, mom can still reach us. That shit hurts! Our neighbors use to try and come to our rescue, but they almost got a whipping too. They just run away 😂!
I laughted so hard when he said that, my mom did this as well and the trick was to choose branch or a stick that wasn't too small - because that would be even worse and I also learned that the bigger the branch the harder it is to manipulate it and it actually doesn't hurt as much. :D I am from Central Europe btw, so I think it's a common practice all over the World.
@@daethusto288 As someone from West Europe, I can tell you that if I heard that in school, I would've told the teacher and she would've alerted child services. It's not a common practice.
@@fahmizzzzzz yeah, I'm grateful everyday that I have great parents who were always loving and smart enough to, not use violence against me. Physically punishing children is child abuse.
@@alinac5512 When I see the way kids in the West treat their parents and the people around them with utter disrespect, I'm glad my parents disciplined me correctly.
@@hirvale yeah, my parents raised me right, they earned my respect and trust so that I would listen to them and I never would have respected them if they ever hit me, so sorry but no, it's bs that you need to abuse your kids to make them respect you, quite the opposite. I'm sorry if your parents ever abused you.
@@alinac5512 I never hated them for it the next day and looking back at it I don't hate them now. I always knew we loved each other and when I think of them, only the happy moments register. So no, I don't consider what I went through abuse. The only consequences it had was to make me a smarter and more caring person as a kid. But I won't deny there are parents who legit abuse their kids and traumatise them for life. I'm glad your parents somehow earned your respect as a kid, they must have been great parents for that.
I'm from South America mate 😂 I know exactly what you're talking about! Also when your mum sent you out to fetch a stick for a sibling to get beat with, you would never see me run out the door so fast in my life 😂😂
lol, that was daily life growing up as an Arab. If my dad wasn't home and I didn't need internet for school work, then internet was off. Also the computer was in the living room, so there is no hiding what you do.
I used to run away and my mom would chase after me and catches me easily. Mom was like "why are you wasting your time in running while you cant even run" Hahahahahahaa
Trevor grew up thousands of miles away but his parents are just like mine. I hated picking my own switch for punishment. For good luck, I left a leaf on it. It was psychological but I felt that one leaf protected me. Good times.
The leaf lmao I had an uncle that would pull us aside without our mom noticing and he'd say, "scream real loud like you're being shredded, that way they feel bad and stop or laugh at them that makes them stop quicker" well it worked out for us anyways lol
山 I'm not saying that is the case but this looks like the perfect place to try new jokes and then add em to his stand up, so yeah he probably has this bit in a stand up by now
I hated having to go get my own switch. I thought I was slick by grabbing a small one. I would have to go back and get another one and get beat twice as much. These kids just don't know how good they got it.
Ka'Shay Frazier my grandma would make us pick out each other's switches when we got in trouble and I remember my cousin came back with a tree branch for me but my grandma used it on him instead. 😂😏
what if................... "Mom!!! this shirt is of legs of a woman".........."what?, oh yeah, you correct, we going to throw it away" "No Mom, I got an idea, let me wear it, most of the time it will not show behind my jacket, but everyone will see it in PE as I have to take out the jacket, than we take picture of it and tell them online that it was a mistake and we get thousands of views!!!" "really?? let's do it and become famous"
I feel you bro in Saudi Arabia we actually brag about these memories and always try to be the kid who got wiped to perfection more than anyone else 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@fjellyo3261 yeah my parents only ever hit me in the head so the bruises wouldn't be seen since they were covered by my hair. they missed a couple of times and my skin broke from the impact? idk if that can happen but like i got hit so hard on the cheek that there was a couple of small bloody wounds but no sharp object had touched it.
I got whooped nearly every day. One day I told my mom just to whoop me just to get it out the way. Cause I knew at some point in the day, I was going to get it.
@@joannehodge2038 as a last child myself, I even got beaten by a hanger or straight-up getting punched in the face by my parents as a kid whenever I had done something wrong or rebelling against my parents HAHAHA while my elder brother was only beaten by a slap on the butt (which my parents made it really painful btw), which for me seems like a lenient punishment to me LOL Good ol' times....
momo mily Don't bring the resetting to zero counting man. My mom would warn me not touch my ass but you know you hands fail you and then she would start from zero as she orders me to count.
No, the "get the stick so I can whip you with it" is true As a young girl I also went through that and I also tested the stick, the same way... I am from South Africa.
If you hit your kids they'll grow up to like it. No son of mine Is going to be a masochist hes going to be the sadist. My daughter is going to be the one to be hit.
Omg! I totally learned that the thinner the stick the more it hurt! Wish i would've thought about testing it out first. Lol My mom is Korean & if anyone has watched the Korean dramas & thought they just put women throwing things when they got mad for comedic effect has no idea how true it really is. I'm very thankful my mom was a bad aim bc I usually pissed my mom off when she was in the kitchen so I've had pans, hot plates, & even a kitchen knife thrown at me! If it was within her reach or in her hand it got thrown at me.
Deev JJ yea my mom was cooking & i think i talked back or something & pissed her off so she threw what she had in her hand & it turned out it was the big kitchen knife! Luckily she was a horrible aim & I'll never forget the look on her face when she realized what she had thrown at me. She somehow didn't remember that she had a KNIFE in her hand. But of course she is a proud Korean mom so i never got an apology. My dad was not home most of the day bc he was at work & he was white so my mom basically wore the pants. My dad loved her so much he always gave in to her but when i told him things she did to punish me he never believed me bc she didn't hit me when he was home. Plus my mom worked for the police department so even if the cops got involved they would look the other way & tell me she's a parent & allowed to "spank" me. I went to school so many times having to tell the teachers i fell & got the bruises from my backyard jungle gym. To some extent though i think I'm better now bc of the abuse bc i learned how to be strong, have respect for elders, work hard at what i want, i only suffered a little bit of trauma- like it took me forever not to flinch when people went to give me a high five ( ba~dum~bum [that's supposed to be a joke drum beat lol]) but in all seriousness i grew up scared that I'd be like my mom so i didn't spank my kids & regret it sooooo much. Kids today have really little respect for their parents & other adults. Now that I'm trying to discipline my kids bc they've become spoiled entitled a-holes they just talk back & refuse to do anything i ask or tell them to do & basically act like what are you going to do. If i try to put the fear of mom into them & say I'm going to spank them or that I'm going to find my belt they just say I'll tell my teachers & you'll get in trouble! I wish i could spank them but noooo if you do that the parents get in trouble.
As a big sister, there was no greater justice in the world than watching my younger brother sent off to get a well-deserved switch. The theatrics were better than a Broadway show. Trevor's story of how he chose one is a perfect mirror of my brother's method. This brought back memories of his crying for dramatic effect, procrastinating at the tree as long as possible, and throwing hateful glances at the merciless sister who laughed at him the whole time.
Nah I'm Asian, we used those bamboo sticks that hold up the plant while they grow. There was no cheating it because they all made the whipping sound T^T
Hahahahaha. As a fellow Southern African, I can so relate with the getting your own stick (Shamu) for a beating. I was cronically in trouble as a kid that it got to a point I knew which type of sticks to avoid if I was told to fetch my own.
Yep the Italian punishment, except in my family you had to go get the wooden spoon. My brothers have had many long walks to the kitchen, and they got beat more for taking so long.
My parents were always saying don't make me get the spoon.... and then sending one of the sibling to get it for them. If you were the one getting the spoon you were happy. Lol
Bro, in Bengali there is literally a phrase " aaj tor pithe chela Kath bhangbo" that we heard a lot growing up which means today I will break a log on your back, thankfully I only heard them, never had to experience them. But a couple of my friends had. And the whippy sticks of school teachers is something all kids in India are familiar with. 🤣
Isn't it interesting to notice that Indian people who also are subjected to physical punishment don't resort to blaming everything on white people and have kids at 17 like kids of minority in the U.S because they are hurt and angry? I say character, it's stronger in India
Um brooms do great too. Just the swishing noise will make me switch off the TV and complete my homework. P.S. I am now 27 year old working a steady job🤣
