Trevor Noah’s awkward Google Pixel 11 launch roasted in viral parody
South Africa’s favourite export Trevor Noah finds himself in the crosshairs of tech YouTuber SamTime, who mercilessly roasted the comedian's casual look and lack of enthusiasm or anything insightful during the new Google Pixel 11 launch.
South African tech YouTuber SamTime has taken aim at Trevor Noah's subdued performance during the Google Pixel 11 launch event. In a satirical video, SamTime mocked the comedian's lack of enthusiasm and information while hosting the high-profile device reveal. Starting off, SamTime introduced Noah by stating, "Today we're so excited to waste your time by pretending we're on a talk show when we're really an ad for the all-new Pixel 11," as the pair sat down for the event.
The color selection of the phone proved to be a primary target of the parody. SamTime remarked, "A phone's color is a lot like the weather: it's what you talk about when there's nothing interesting to say," as Noah struggled to explain the new obsidian shade. Towards the end, Noah reportedly replied, "You know what I mean?" only for SamTime to respond, "No, I don't know what you mean."
The video also poked fun at the redesigned camera bump, with SamTime joking, "At least the Hunchback of Phonestadam has its advantages, as the new 120X telephoto lens can show you the bridge you need to use to get away from this conference." The parody ended with SamTime noting that even Trevor Noah was feeling the strain, saying, "even Trevor has his sleeping pants on."
The video concluded by highlighting the lack of change in the Pixel 11's features, stating, "The all-new Pixel 11 phones: so little has changed, Google got heckled live on stage."
