Overbooking Business Class - Trevor Noah - (Crazy Normal),Overbooking Business Class - Trevor Noah - (Crazy Normal),Overbooking Business Class - Trevor Noah - (Crazy Normal)
00:00We've been traveling all around the country now. It's been so much fun, you know, out in places like P.E. and Cape Town and East London and recently went to Durban, which was a bit of a slip for us.
00:10It was really hard because it was raining so much. And then on top of the flight delays that you have to contest with, there's also like overbooking, which is a problem, you know.
00:18I don't know if you know what overbooking is, but basically it's a legal process where it's a practice rather where airlines book more tickets than there are seats on the plane.
00:28So they book more, sort of like a taxi. But then they don't let you get on when you get there. So they just hope you don't pitch up.
00:37He's like, please, please. Ah, it's here. You know, that's what they do. And so we're flying down to Durban and it was the funniest thing ever.
00:48We're standing in the queue, everyone's all fidgety in the line, looking at their watches and they call us for it.
00:52They're like, next, next, please, next, next, next. So we go to the counter and there's one of those women there with her glasses and her relaxed hair.
00:58And then she's like, can I have your ID, please? And you're like, ID's, everyone puts them down.
01:03She's like, where are you flying? And we're like, Durban, please. She's like, Durban.
01:13Durban.
01:16Yes.
01:22Are you flying now?
01:23No, tomorrow, we just, it's a practice room.
01:35Are you flying?
01:37And we're like, yes, we need to fly now.
01:39Okay.
01:41And then she starts typing frantically.
01:43Which I never understand.
01:45Because when I book my tickets, all I need to do is click.
01:57I bet she wasn't even busy doing our tickets anymore.
01:59She's just like there.
02:00Click.
02:00She's probably on like Facebook or something.
02:02There.
02:02Updating her status.
02:03Yo, another one.
02:04Another one's here.
02:06I'm dead.
02:07Dead.
02:08Dead.
02:09Dead.
02:09Another one's here.
02:10Yo, dead.
02:11Dead.
02:11You overbooking.
02:13Dead.
02:13Oh, poke back.
02:14Dead.
02:14Dead.
02:15You dead.
02:16That's by overbooking.
02:17Yo.
02:26Because of their faux pas, the airline is as kind as to upgrade us on the next flight
02:32to business class.
02:32They say, are we sorry about what happened?
02:34Here you go, business class.
02:35I love business class, you know.
02:37You get to go to a special lounge where everyone's very businessy, yes.
02:41No, it is.
02:42It is.
02:42Because when you're in business class, you overhear conversations and they sound totally different,
02:47you know.
02:47You overhear people saying things like, yes, well, the mergers are coming along.
02:50I mean, if you look at the companies that are, you know, people walking around, well,
02:53I mean, if the numbers are right, then we'll definitely get that stock portfolio going.
02:56And, you know, people walking there, you know.
02:57No, I'm in the kids with this situation to make sure that all the shareholders are happy.
03:01And then we'll present to management.
03:02And it's going to be a, a key installment of what we're going.
03:05You know, you just, you hear like businessy kind of stuff.
03:08Whereas when you're in economy, it's just like a huge group of people.
03:10You generally overhear conversations like, I thought you put it in the bag.
03:13You said you put it in the bag.
03:14What?
03:15It was on the table.
03:15I asked you to put it in the bag.
03:16Why is it not in the bag?
03:26Oh, wow.
03:27And so we're going through the airport and then we go through security.
03:36And I love security in South Africa.
03:38It is the most chilled out security you will find anywhere in the world.
03:41It is.
03:42Like South African security is just like, you know, we work on an honesty system in this country.
03:46You know, the security guard, he's there to enforce, but it's more an honesty.
03:49It's like, look, this is, it's up to you.
03:51This is the honesty place.
03:52This is where we all, we all, we all admit to our sins.
03:54Come forward, come forward.
03:55Do you have anything to declare, you know, that type of place.
03:58Overseas, when you, when you come through customs, it's the craziest thing ever.
04:00You got to take off everything.
04:01You got to take off your shoes and you take off your belt and you, you know, you can't
04:05wear a jacket or a hoodie or a cap or anything.
04:07You got to take off your rings and nothing, nothing, not even coins in your pocket.
04:10Even if you've got like a big filling, then you're in trouble.
04:11Then they, you know, you know, be like, then you're like, but it's, but it's my teeth.
04:15And they're like, well, you're going to have to do something.
04:16You're going to, you know, and then like colored people are like, excuse me.
04:18Yeah.
04:25Oh, that's great.
04:32Whereas in South Africa, I sometimes feel like these security guards don't actually know
04:35what their equipment does.
04:36You know, they're very chilled out about it.
04:38Because you walk through at airport security and you get there and the guy will be like,
04:42number four, number four.
04:43And then you go through and you stand there and the guy will be waiting.
04:45He'll give you that bucket and he'll be like, what's in the bag?
04:48Like, what do you mean?
04:51And he's like, is there a laptop?
04:54Yes.
04:55Out.
04:56Out.
04:57Take it out.
04:58Laptop out.
04:59Out.
05:00Please, yeah, put it by itself.
05:01Yeah, put it there.
05:02Yeah.
05:03Any other laptop?
05:04You're like, no, no, no.
05:05Laptop out.
05:06Like, okay, okay, okay, okay.
05:09What did you do?
05:12Okay.
05:14Okay.
05:14And, and, and my gun?
05:16No, it's fine.
05:16It's fine.
05:16Just, just the laptop.
05:19Yeah.
05:21Watching you.
05:25It's so much fun.
05:28And you walk through the metal detectors, which I swear either don't work or these people really don't understand them at all.
05:34So you walk through metal detectors.
05:35And it's not just at airports.
05:36No matter where they are in this country, you walk through a metal detector, a casino, a school, government institution, you'll walk in there and then it'll just, it'll make that sound.
05:45But then I don't know if they know what that means.
05:47It's because you'll walk through and be like, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
05:53And you see how security guards smile because they get ready because they're going to use the wand.
05:56They love the wand.
05:58You see, they wait the whole day.
05:59Yes.
05:59My time has arrived.
06:03Excalibur.
06:04I call upon you.
06:07It's like, what the hell is going on?
06:09Yeah, just stand there.
06:10Yeah.
06:11Pulls out his wand.
06:12You know, his black one.
06:13Just pulls him out.
06:14Okay, it's not, I'm sorry.
06:21I'm just, it doesn't, it doesn't really do that.
06:24It would be cool if it did the.
06:27Although it would be weird.
06:28It would be weird.
06:30You know, for like some guy from the township to have a lightsaber.
06:32Wouldn't, wouldn't work at all though.
06:39It wouldn't.
06:40It wouldn't.
06:40It wouldn't be like Darth Vader.
06:42It would be like Braveda.
06:46Ah, Bravi.
06:48Eita.
06:51It would have been the worst Star Wars ever if it was in South Africa, wouldn't it?
06:57Like the critical point, the moment that made the movie would never happen if it wasn't
07:03a township in South Africa.
07:04Because which guy from the township would claim a child after that many years?
07:07That would be like.
07:12Yes, what is it?
07:16No, look there.
07:18It's your father.
07:25But it wasn't, it wasn't.
07:26Okay, sorry.
07:27I digress.
07:28The wand.
07:29The wand.
07:30The wand.
07:31Comes.
07:32Sorry.
07:33Comes out with the wand.
07:35And they always do that thing, you know.
07:36They go around.
07:37And we don't know what it's supposed to do or not, you know.
07:51Any weapons?
07:55What was that for?
07:57Even if I had something, I'm not going to tell you now.
08:00Obviously, you have been defeated.
08:03Any weapons?
08:04No.
08:05Oh, okay.
08:07And that's it.
08:09We're like working on the honesty system in this country.
08:12Everywhere you go.
08:13Like, I'd like to meet the genius who invented the honesty book.
08:15Ah, yes.
08:16The honesty book.
08:17Yes.
08:17The book of truth.
08:18No one can lie when they're writing this book.
08:20Whenever you visit someone at a townhouse or office complex, we have the book of truth.
08:24Fill in the book before you enter.
08:27Name.
08:27Ah, yes.
08:29Surname.
08:31Phone number and address.
08:32Reason for visit.
08:34PVT.
08:35We'll just do that.
08:36Look at everyone else.
08:37PVT, PVT, PVT, PVT.
08:39PVT.
08:39And once I asked the security guard, I was like, what's the point of this?
08:46Why am I filling in this book?
08:47He's like, no.
08:49It's for security reasons.
08:51I figured that much, but what is it about?
08:54It's like, so that if you can do anything bad inside there, if maybe you can steal or
08:59kill someone, then we can find you.
09:05Ah, of course.
09:06Because I wrote my real name and surname.
09:08The Honest Killer strikes again.
09:12It's just ridiculous.
09:15I was like, okay, and then I kill someone, and then what are you going to do?
09:17It's like, then you sit there, we can just phone you and tell you must come back.
