Trevor’s Favorite Toy - Between the Scenes | The Daily Show

This guy is such an insanely good storyteller, he doesn't get enough credit for it. Great comedian, great satirist, but hugely talented at just maintaining interest in relatively mundane stories. That's not easy.

This is one of the first Daily Shows comment section I haven’t seen a single insult. Kids and talking about childhood is really pure and unadulterated fun. What went wrong before adulthood? How do we become what we are? Full of envy, greed and lust? What happened in those formative years that we can’t be that pure form of humanity we all once were?

[@ali21891]

This was the sweetest thing I've ever heard of ♥️😍

[@AsandaMbali]

I laughed so hard, wow this takes me back. This was what life used to be like for us kids in the townships, in South Africa. But it felt normal because this was our reality, this was all we knew, well until you visited your aunt who lived in a nicer location (this was the case for me), her kids had actual toys (lol I was blown away, this was the stuff we only saw on TV and then went outside, picked up a brick and imagined it was the real thing). The first time I had a glimpse of knowing that I might be poor, was when I started attending a school that is far from where I lived, a ‘better school’ (I had to be at the bus stop at 5:30 am, by the way I was 12 years old at this point). My friends always had better lunch than I but never understood why this was the case. But even as a kid you started to acknowledge your place in society. High school was probably one of my worst experiences, where your friends had better clothes, had way more carrying money than you, and they were being dropped off and picked up by their moms or dads, while some of us had to use the train and then walk 30 mins from the train station to where we lived. But this wasn’t even the biggest challenge at the time, I just remember it because more than 12 years later I still remember what it felt like to be in that position. I always heard of poor people but never saw myself as one. I looked at my friends lives and then looked at mine and saw that I had way less than what they had. My friends (from the townships) and I had the bare minimum (some times even less). Even though we grew up in those conditions, it’s crazy how life has turned out for some of us.

[@TheAfricanleadership]

You are right. Its not easy for kids to acknowledge that

[@Marisa4412]

I'm talking about poor people in developing countries who have their basic needs met, but are not living in excess. People who have already have their biological needs, shelter, safety, love met, but at the bare minimum. They may only eat the bare essentials, live in house of straws, and walk everywhere they go, but I see these family living happily, parents and child. Is it true for all?

This is so true..am from Tanzania and we played with all sorts of things ,from bricks,sand,plastic paper bag football's,sticks,coca cola covers ...and it felt amazing being a part of a crew that had the same toys or aspired to have them...we would play games with wagers to take the other kids toy's

[@AppleCore360]

Parents... Take away the phones and tablets. Turn of the tv and computer. It's time to let them play with bricks I think my kids will hate me 😂

[@missybarbour6885]

My nieces and nephews all have iPads but also love building little towns out of sticks in the yard. Kids are still kids!

[@gibrana9214]

They should... brick their tablets

[@madoldbatwoman]

I was so proud of being involved in a project that encouraged taking kids out to the woods for whole days, one day a week. No tech allowed on site. Just to learn and play and cook in nature. Now there are Forest Schools and Mud Kitchens (and grubby kids) across the land! Why not let kids have the best of both worlds?

[@hagivdwaly1233]

When you said a brick, i couldnt help but remember my childhood days...those brick cars were life man

[@kmreedN205]

This brick analogy is awesome! 🤣

Nothing but love and admiration and well wishes for Trevor Noah 🤗

[@thisisbrakspudonttouchit4208]

My favorite toy growing up was a piece of string with stick on one end with a rag attached to it. It made a loud whistle when you got spinning real fast. Then when that got old we would take a corn cob an stick feathers on one end to make a whirlybird.

i love him most when he talks of his childhood. an amazing storyteller ♡

[@ginduf]

in the early 60s my dad used to bring home linoleum tile samples that were like large strong cards and i used to build buildings out of them. good times!

[@Taylor_T_Mosh]

I'm from Botswana in the southern Africa i feel credited & well represented by Trevor!!! well done champ!!!!

[@DONTCALLMETHAT]

This is so awesome because around 5 years old, my brother and I played under our house (on Saturday mornings) with bricks, we too pushed them around like they were cars. Man this takes me back😂😂😂😂😂

[@colinharter4094]

That was amazing from start to finish. This is probably my favorite "between the scenes" so far.

[@leowu6110]

Man, Trevor so is real haha so fcking funny

[@chrisninamartinez3851]

I just love how honest this is!

[@nguyenucviet2961]

I find this very relevant to me or any other kids come from a third world country. Mine is a pair of chopstick. Man! These old days was poor AF but still so much fun. Thanks Trevor!

[@prosperngwenya4989]

I love the fact that he includes isizulu when he's telling the story

[@patpat6636]

Love this segment! The kids in my street in Mexico used to do the same, I loved to see them play and I wanted to play but Daddy never let me, he’ll say”cars and dirt are for boys” and he’ll make me play with dolls and a little party tea set.

Beautiful story, I can relate. Africa is so real

[@rainydaylady6596]

Best toy is a cardboard box you can sit in. Car, plane, whatever you wanted it to be.

[@makteko]

Yeah, but it was very rare to find a good sizable cardboard to play with in South Africa back then because most of the cardboard where used as part of the house (Shacks) to keep the house warm. So normally bricks and stone where always readily available.

[@rainydaylady6596]

@@makteko I was speaking from my own experience, but I see what you mean. There are probably examples everywhere of kids finding something to use to make their own toys with and using their imaginations.

[@makteko]

+Darcy Kahler yes I agree. Good childhood memories...

[@reacarasco]

Oh Trevor. That wit and humor 😊

[@edwardreyes2419]

I'm from the northeast in the United States, and I don't know if kids growing up in the 90s played Pencil break. It's a very similar game to Trevor's brick game. Basically you would take your pencil and try to snap your opponent's pencil in half. Your opponent would hold theirs horizontally by holding it at each end, and then you as the 'attacker' would try to chop it by putting a little torque on the eraser end of the pencil it by pulling it back with your finger, while still holding the tip end, and then letting go of the eraser end to have it come crashing down. The trick was to get the metal part (the eraser part) of the pencil to strike. You would take turns going back and forth until someone's pencil broke. As a person attacking, you had to make sure you didn't pull your pencil back so far that you accidentally snapped yours, but not weak enough so that you did no damage to your opponent. There were certain rules on how long your pencil had to be. Shorter pencils weren't allowed because, the shorter the pencil the harder they were to break. The worst pencils were Dixon Ticonderoga pencils because they were made of compressed wood and super soft. The best ones were ones that were rounded, had a little bit of polish or shellac to them. Those were beasts. Guys would walk around with their favorite pencil in their pocket, and teachers didn't understand why we weren't using them to write, not realizing that we had this game.

[@tonyolo4591]

I do remember that game. we called it........"pencils".

[@Geion]

Ticonderogas made the best "pencil fight" pencils. Won many a pencil fights with a trusty Ticonderoga, and still managed to make it home with it to do homework.

[@beccaisanerd671]

Soo many splinters from that game! It was banned in my middle school at some point between teachers having boxes of pencils missing and injuries...not to mention betting of lunch money😂

[@nrsimmons178]

Omg, I remember that game! We just called it 'pencil break.' If you got in a good hit, your pencil had a fluid wave to it before you cracked or broke your opponent's pencil. Thanks for the memory. Wow, I feel old, lol!

[@kandimegahan7844]

Learned about that when I was in MN for 8th grade (Born in Texas. Grew up in Tanzania, East Africa)
