"Overbooking Business Class" - Trevor Noah - (Crazy Normal)

Feb 19, 2020
We've been traveling all over the country, it's been a lot of fun, you know, places like PE and Cape Town and east London, recently we went to Durban which was a bit of a hassle for us, it was very difficult because it was Raining a lot. And then, in addition to the flight delays that you have to deal with, there is also

overbooking

, which is a problem. I don't know if you know what

overbooking

is, but it's basically a legal process where it's a practice rather than airlines booking more. tickets than seats on the plane, so they book more, kind of like a taxi, but then they don't let you on when you arrive, so they just hope you don't say: please, please, please, please.

Ugh, it's here. You know, that's what they do and that's why we flew to Durban, and it was the most fun thing we've ever done: standing in line, everyone's fidgeting in line looking at their watches, and they call us forward, hey , they're like next, next please, next! So we go to the counter and there was one of those women with her glasses and her hair relaxed *typing* and she says, "Can I have an ID please?" and you're like an ID, everyone leaves it *writing* "Where are you flying?" and we say, Durban, please. She says, "Durban" *Writing* "Durban?" Yes. *Writing* "Are you flying now?" Not tomorrow.

She's there *frantically typing* I bet she wasn't even busy making our tickets anymore, she's just there clicking away, she's probably on Facebook or something updating her status.

I'm taking care of the situation to make sure the shareholders are happy and then we will present it to management and it will be a delivery of what we know. You know, you only hear about things like business, when you're in economics, it's just In a huge group of people, you usually hear conversations like, "I thought you put it in the bag! You said you put it in the bag! It was in the , I asked you to put it in, why isn't it in the bag?" Oh wow, we go through the airport and then we go through security, and I love security in South Africa, it's the calmest place.
The security that you will find anywhere in the world is like the security in South Africa, you know, we work with a system of honesty in this country, you know the security guard, he is there to enforce, but it is more of an honesty, look this. It's up to you this is the place of honesty, this is where we all admit our sins, come forward, do you have something to declare? it's that kind of place abroad when you go through customs it's the craziest thing you've ever had to take everything off you have to take off your shoes and you take off your belt you know you can't wear a jacket or a hoodie or a cap or anything you have to take off your rings, nothing, nothing not even coins in your pocket, even if you have a big filling then you're in trouble, you know, so you say, but it's my teeth and they say, you're going to have have to do something, you know, and then some people are like, "excuse me," ha ha ha ha, where, like in South Africa, sometimes I feel like these security guards don't really know what their equipment is, they're very calm about it because Go through airport security and get there and the guy will tell you "go to number 4, number 4" and you go through and you stay there and the guy will be waiting for you, he will give you that bucket and he will tell you "Hey, what's in the bag?" What are you talking about?
He says, "Laptop?" Yes. "Out, out, take it out, take out the laptop, out, please put it alone, put it there, yes. Any other laptop?" You're like, "Laptop out!" You're like okay, okay, what did you do? Okay, there's "okay" and my gun? "no, it's fine. Just the laptop" "Watching you" is so much fun when you go through the metal detectors that, I swear, they either don't work or these people really don't understand them at all, you go through the metal detectors and No it's just in airports, no matter where they are in this country, you go through a casino with a metal detector, a school, a government institution and you walk in there and it will make that sound, but then I don't know if they know what. that means because you walk by and it will be like *metal detector beeping* and you see how the security guards are smiling because they are getting ready, they are going to use the wand, they love the wand, you can see that they wait all day. "Yes, my time has come Excalibur, I'm calling you" it's like what the hell is going on? "Yeah, stay there, yeah" He pulls out his wand, those black ones, he just pulls it out *lightsaber sound* It's okay, it's not, sorry, it doesn't actually do that, it would be cool if He did *lightsaber sound* though Light Saber* although it would be strange, it would be strange, you know, a guy from the township having a Light Saber *Light Saber sound* wouldn't work at all, would it? no, it would be like if Darthvader was like "Bravida" *Lightsaber sound* "Ah, bravida ______" *Lightsaber sound* It would have been the worst Star Wars of all time if it was in South Africa, right?
Lightsaber Sound* as the tipping point, the moment that made the movie would never happen if it were in a township in South Africa because what kind of township would a child claim after so many years? The guy would be like *lightsaber sound* *Heavy breathing* "Luke" "Yeah, what is it?" "No, he looks there. He's your father." *Lightsaber sound* *Laughs* *Lightsaber sound* but it wasn't like that, I'm sorry. I'm digressing. the wand, the wand, the wand comes, I'm sorry, it comes out with the wand and they always do that, they go around and we don't know what it's supposed to do or not do, you know *Beep* *Beep* *Beep* " any weapon?" So what was that for?
Even if I have something, I won't tell you now, you have obviously been defeated. "Any weapons?" No. "Okay" and that's it. We like to work in a system of honesty in this country wherever you go. I would like to meet the genius who invented the book of honesty. Ah yes, the book of honesty, yes, the book of truth. No one can lie when writing in this book every time you visit someone in a house or office complex, we have the book of truth, complete the book before entering Name, oh yes, last name, phone number and address Reason of the visit.
Pvt. We'll just do that, we'll look at all the other Pvt, Pvt, Pvt, Pvt, Pvt Pvt. and I once asked the security guard, what's this for? Why am I completing this book? He says, "No, it's for security reasons." I told him I already imagined it, but what is it about? He says, "It's so that if you can do something bad in there, if you can maybe rob or kill someone, then we can find you." Oh, of course, because I wrote my real first and last name, the honest killer strikes again! It's just ridiculous. I thought, "Okay, I kill someone and what are you going to do?" He says, “Then you see, we can call you and tell you to come back.” "Yes", "at the same time."
