The Black Panther Oscars Easter egg joke that you have not noticed

Trevor Noah loves to hide from Black Panther. The host of the Daily Show had a secret cameo in the film as Wakandan's AI voice (in the same way that Gary Sinise, Miley Cyrus and Kenneth Branagh lent their voices to the franchise's computers) and he then gag at the Oscars.

Noah introduced Black Panther at the ceremony and, in a funny and caustic speech, he slipped into a joke that only speakers of Xhosa's African language would have understood.

Recalling with nostalgia for his childhood, Noah recounted that he would have grown up in Wakanda:

"Growing up a young boy in Wakanda, I saw King T & # 39; Challa flying over our village and he reminded me of an excellent Xhosa phrase" Abelungu abazi ubu ndiyaxoka ", which means:" In such moments, we are stronger when we fight together only when we try to fight apart. "

Although this is an actor, you would have no reason to doubt what he was saying. It certainly looks like something that Challa would say. Only, according to Woke Sloth, the phrase CURRENTLY translates as "Whites do not know I'm lying."

It's a hell of commitment for comic benefit and the perfect sign of Noah's genius.

This is also a reference to the fact that Marvel chose to adopt a version of Xhosa to add authenticity to Black Panther after Ryan Coogler's visit to South Africa and the entrance in contact with several Xhosa speakers. And now, as a charming little sign, Noah gave a joke to Xhosa speakers around the world. Which guy.
