History Series / TheDailyShowWithTrevorNoah

* ButtMonkey: Ronny frequently plays this role, like when Desi chops his hands off, getting slammed from all sides to test out a body camera, or when he's made to swallow 35 pieces of cinnamon gum as an experiment.

** He's also baffled at the fact that former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, who's being plagued by an child abuse scandal, was second in line behind Vice President Cheney for the presidency.

* RelaxOVision: In response to a clip of Donald Trump objectifying his then-infant daughter, Trevor plays series of clips of cute animals just to remind him of the good things in the world.

* TakeThat: Trevor Noah on ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' day says that they were right about Biff gaining a lot of power, comparing him to Donald Trump.

* {{Corpsing}}: Noah does this while interviewing Seth Rogen, who is beyond funny. He also tends to do this after delivering a joke, even if it's not as funny.

** Jordan Klepper and Desi Lydic, with Klepper in the "obnoxiously clueless white guy" role. They even team up together for a segment about [[http://www.cc.com/video-clips/1fylnh/the-daily-show-with-trevor-noah-white-people--the-most-coveted-demographic-of-the-2016-election white voters.]]

-->'''Desi''': Trump's claim is supposed to be comforting, but instead it comes off as really disturbing, so I give this a [[Series/{{Teletubbies}} Teletubby.]] ''[looks at the screen behind her]'' Why does it have a penis on its head?
-->'''Jessica''': ''[about one of Donald Trump's claims]'' This claim is grossly overexaggerated, so I'm going to give it a zoomed-in dick pic. I feel like it's a pretty solid rating.

-->'''Roy''': Black journalists constantly have to bite their tongue. They come close to the line, but God bless 'em, they never cross it. Because if they do, then they'll be labeled an "Angry Black Man". You can't be emotional about anything, especially if you're a black anchor. Look at Lester Holt. This brother had to sit right across from Trump and not react. He had a front row seat to the bullshit!

-->'''Ronny''': What if I told you that not voting for Hillary Clinton will result in a Donald Trump victory?\\
'''Bernie Sanders Supporter''': I would not believe what you were saying to me and reject it as not even the point for the question that should be being asked.\\
'''Ronny''': Then what question should be asked?\\
'''Supporter''': Um...''[long silence]''

-->'''Trevor''': '''''ARE YOU FUCKING SHITTING ME?''''' The whole country was wrestling with this ethical dilemma!

-->'''Trevor''': ''HOW THE FUCK DID WE GET HERE?''

-->"NOOO, Jackie Chan! We trusted you, Jackie! What kind of kung-fu is this?! You know, Jackie Chan - Jackie - my heart is broken."

* CuttingTheKnot: Jordan and Hasan's solution to the DNC's email leaks...[[spoiler: go around smashing everyone's cellphones and laptops.]]

-->'''Trevor''': ''[long pause]'' Well, uh, I guess I'm driving.

-->'''Jordan''': We Americans cling to these fleeting moments, not knowing if that Pumpkin Spice donut could be our last. I guess where you come from, you just don't know what scarcity is.\\
'''Trevor''': [[{{Beat}} ...]]Really?

-->'''Trevor''': We need to stand in solidarity with Muslim people who are being targeted by Donald Trump.\\
'''Jordan''': Solidarity. ''Yes''. [''applause'']\\
'''Trevor''': Actually, you know what we should do? We should stand as one. If they start registering Muslims, we all start registering as Muslims. [''cheers from studio audience. Jordan smiles and nods and applauds.'']\\
'''Jordan''': That is one idea! Let's keep spitballin'.\\
'''Trevor''': No, no, I think that's it. If you think about it, if all the citizens said, with the immigrants, "I am a Muslim", it would take the power away that any registry would have.\\
'''Jordan''': I was thinking...a button. [''smiles hopefully''] Like, a really nice button. Looks good on a peacoat, you could put it on, you could take it off if you're in mixed company and you don't want to push your agenda.\\
'''Trevor''': Jordan, no, no no. No no no no no. I'm sorry, it's not enough. This is an opportunity for meaningful action. ''Declare'' it here, loud and proud, Jordan, say it! "I am a Muslim!"\\
'''Jordan''': I am...thinking about posting it on Facebook! Who knows?

--->'''Trevor''': ''Are. You. Shitting. Me?''

--->'''Trevor''': What. The. Fuck. A man, who for six years, was just one pretzel and one faulty pacemaker removed from an Oval Office position, is an alleged child molester? I don't understand why this isn't everywhere. This is shocking.

-->'''Trevor''': ''Are. You. '''Shitting.''' Me? Eleven days before the election?!''

--->'''Trevor''': ''[looks around with a WTF look]'' This guy is ''real.''

-->'''Roy''': You could make an entire rap song with just Donald Trump quotes. All you need is a dope beat.

-->'''Desi''': It's hard to tell if these titties are real, but I can tell you that "Titties Like Detroit" is a hot fucking track, so go stream it on Tidal.

-->'''Trevor''': Oh man, Ronny, it sounds like nothing's good enough for you, man.\\
'''Ronny''': Yeah, I know. Now I know how my dad feels, am I right? ''(Forced laughter)''

-->'''Trevor''': You lied to the Vice President! The man in charge of...''[long pause]''...snacks? No, what is the Vice President in charge of, for real, though?

--->'''Jordan''': The pumpkin spice is blowing up ''now''. Syria's gonna be blowing up [[CrossesTheLineTwice all year 'round]].

* ShooTheDog: Trevor literally does this to Blue from ''Series/BluesClues'' after she unexpectedly turns up on his desk. He feels bad about it, though.

* YoungerAndHipper: Younger, half-black Trevor Noah replaces middle-aged, Jewish Jon Stewart. At the time of Noah's first show, he was five years younger than Stewart was at his premiere.

* BrokenPedestal: Trevor's reaction to Creator/JackieChan being named in the Panama Papers leak.

* TheSmurfettePrinciple: After Jessica Williams departed the show, Desi Lydic is the sole regular female correspondent, although Michelle Wolf and Eliza Cossio are recurring contributors.

** [''{{Beat}}'']..."Who ''is'' this man?" when a politician says something just plain baffling.

* HollywoodToneDeaf: Hasan Minhaj and Roy Wood Jr. sang a rendition of "One *censored*ing Moment" (a parody of "One Shining Moment") to congratulate [[spoiler:Trump supporters]] for winning the "[[UsefulNotes/{{NCAA}} Third]] [[WritingAroundTrademarks Month]] [[BlandNameProduct Mania]]" contest about who makes the audience the maddest. The results were... [[http://www.cc.com/video-clips/2qt4ym/the-daily-show-with-trevor-noah-third-month-mania---the-championship-matchup less than stellar]].

* WellDoneSonGuy: [[http://www.cc.com/video-clips/r4nj8f/the-daily-show-with-trevor-noah-virtual-reality--today-s-future-now Ronny Chieng's]] new virtual reality creation is a [[TheSims sim]] version of his dad saying he's SoProudOfYou.

The 2015 revamp of ''Series/TheDailyShow'' following Creator/JonStewart's departure, featuring UsefulNotes/{{South Africa}}n-born comedian Trevor Noah. In February 2015, Jon Stewart announced that he would retire, although the ''Daily Show'' will go on. In March 2015, Creator/ComedyCentral announced that Trevor Noah would succeed him as host. Jon's last episode as host aired August 6, 2015, and Trevor's first show as host aired September 28, 2015. At the age of 31, Noah is currently the youngest late-night talk show host on American television.

-->'''Trevor''': ''[as Obama]'' What I'm trying to say is I'm gonna get shitfaced. I spend at least four years wasted, and I think you all know why.
* DudeNotFunny: {{Invoked}} in a segment on Iowa's bill to let children carry pistols:
-->'''Trevor:''' Just to get this straight, some guy picked up the phone and called a lawmaker and said, "Hey, my kids need guns," and they were like, "Done!"
-->'''Audience:''' (laughter)
-->'''Trevor:''' And everyday in America there's parents calling lawmakers saying "Hey, my kids died because of guns," and lawmakers are
-->like, "Uhh, can you hold?”
-->'''Audience:''' (some uncomfortable laughs, mostly awkward silence)
-->'''Trevor:''' Yeah. Not as funny, is it?

* NaiveNewcomer: Trevor occasionally makes optimistic assumptions about current affairs, only for a following news clip to tell him that's not how politics work. This has faded as of 2017, where he has worn the JadeColoredGlasses more often.

** Likewise, the segment following the National Democratic Debate had all of the Daily Show's correspondents claiming that Hillary was most likely to win, a satire on how most of the media claimed that Hillary "won" the debate despite the polls showing Bernie surpassing her in popularity. The YouTube comments that ensued blasted Trevor for following suit with that media, instead of making fun of it.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: A variant; on Jon Stewart's farewell show, Kristen Schall was hoping to see Trevor Noah to hit on him. During her first appearance, however, she mainly claims that she has veteran rights over Trevor and it's "her" show.

* BriefAccentImitation: Noah is fond of pulling these, from Obama to Putin to Donald Trump and generic ones like "Mexican cartel member" or "African tribesman." When Roy Howard poses as a fortune teller, he has to tell Noah to not do the fortune teller accent.
