Roger Federer and Trevor Noah playing together in this commercial is a match made in heaven. Federer's got the finesse and precision of a Swiss watch, and Noah's got the comedic timing of a Swiss cheese 😂
I was sipping my tea when I read your post and you can imagine when I did!!! Hysterical at the end.
😂
Amazing?
😂
Funny to see a great tennis pro is funnier than an alleged pro comedian. Noah is just about nauseating.
"We're shooting a commercial with Roger Federer and Trevor Noah!"
"Yeah, but the train has a schedule!"
- nothing more Swiss than this!
Roger describing my childhood so well makes me realize how blessed I've been.
Incredible that these two actually have the same origins being half Swiss and half South African 🇨🇭🇿🇦 🙂
I absolutely love Rodger! He is such a dear, caring man and is so kind to everyone. I've watched him as he played tennis and even when he lost he was so gracious to the winner. I think he would make such a fabulous tour guide! He certainly inspires me to want to go to Switzerland and check out all the beautiful things there. I wish you and your family all the best Rodger, you are an inspiration to us all! ❤
I’ve been to Switzerland recently to visit my family. I am from South Africa🇿🇦 I can truly say I am in love with Switzerland, always was, and planning a return trip again this year. Viva Switzerland🇨🇭
Youre always welcome💗
Swiss people totally love SA ,in reverse 🇿🇦💗
@Dave W good kestion
@Dave W He is related to Rusty 😂
Hop Swiss! would be more accurate, as opposed to "viva"" which is too mmh, revolutionary to our taste!
@@sandrineroesch8706 it is such violent, the African version of Jamaica I guess!
So nice to see Roger and Noah enjoying each others"s company. Roger, as usual being thoughtful.
They cut Trevor off when he said Rösti is his favorite dessert 😂
I live in Zurich and was born in Zermatt, and I LOVE this country! Total freedom, security, highest standard of living on the planet... I love traveling, but I always want to come back home.
Trevor and Roger, you made a very cool thing!
Switzerland looks like an absolute dream!
total freedom for elders minors. NOT. search Psychex. read Basel historian Thomas Huonker PhD. a criminal state hides behind the leery magic landscape
Federer is Swiss with a South African mother and Noah is a South African with a Swiss father.
Watching this interview with a stupid grid on my face. Two of my favorites retired from their thing, just having a laugh together. Love it. Now I want to visit Switzerland.
Grin* you mean?
@@s.z.x.01 Avaleen is correct though because a grid on a face is stupid, isn't it?🤷🏾
Is there anything more infectious than Roger’s laugh? 😂
the collab that was always meant to be but we didn't expect.
I had the pleasure living in Switzerland during my study time. If you haven’t been there yet - visit it, it’s unbelievable beautiful !
Switzerland!! Underrated. Bern, Lucern, Zurich, name it!!! I go back once every year. Beautiful people!!!!
Hi.. what would you say your experience traveling there as a POC? Always interested in hearing how they treat us in countries where there aren’t many.
Hi, I didn't travel there as a person of colour 😮🙀. What is this obsession with colour, or how does a particular group perceive you? I have been travelling around the world for well over a decade, and I have never once travelled as POC, so in that regard, I don't know. However, my experience travelling as a person, especially to Switzerland, has been nothing but a joy 😁. Beautiful people, food, culture, name it.
@@babatundekalejaiye7046 Oh Lord. Ok buddy 😂 Just say you haven’t had any negative experiences instead of being condescending & acting like race isn’t a factor when you go to certain places. I see you’re one of “those”.
@@creamycazz1 At least you now know not to travel as a POC but as a human being.
Both Roger and Trevor have such calming voices! Loved this video!
Does this mean we can potentially see a new tv series of Trevor globetrotting around the world, hanging out with all kinds of people famous, infamous and inbetween - which we all know he can easily pull off?? If so - Where do I sign up?
Wow! Beautiful breathtaking pictures of the mountains and landscape. Glad you are enjoying yourself, Trevor. Roger shows so much pride in the country. He’s beaming.😁
Absolutely brilliant and thoughtful!!! Roger and Noah together bring such a friendly and funny feeling, I could not stop laughing while.being amazed with the views. We love Roger and Noah and Switzerland! Amazing job!
What great ambassadors they both are!
Wow... The Pride of Switzerland! Amazing landscape. Looks heavenly 🙌😎
I am watching this because of Trevor Noah. Miss seeing him ❤❤❤❤
Trevor learned how to play tennis with Federer 😮. Not shabby my friend, not shabby at all! 😅
You guys make me want to visit Switzerland!
I wanted to go there my whole life.
Roger has already done more than enough to make Switzerland proud, and here he is, well exceeding any bar previously set. True legend and myth!
I usually skip ads but I have watched this ad countless times! Hilarious! Beautiful landscape. We love trains and mountains. Looking forward to our Swiss visit. We will make sure to carry our wallets!
What a beautiful country.
It's cool they both have roots to the same two countries:
South Africa and Switzerland.
😮I had no idea Federer had ties to South Africa
Her mother Lynette was born in Germiston, South Africa
@@sp8106 Her? In my head I see Roger disguised as Rogeslana Fjedorov to become WTA GOAT as well
@@sp8106 His mother - Roger's, or Roger's grandma?
Lovely seeing the rapport of these 2 popular people together....Roger's mother is South African...oh ja, both of their mothers...😂 as I am, living in Pretoria. 🇿🇦🇿🇦Lovely experiences when we did a Rhine Tour from Ansterdam to Basel, Switzerland, and spent another 10 days, living up on the mountain slope overlooking the lakes at Interlaken...Zermatt, us all in a bus on a low-bed train entering Zermatt...fascinating. a part of God's beautiful creation. Thank you Roger & Trevor for your easy-going friendliness together 👏🤝🙏
Watched, SO SO NICE. WACHED the video, Missing the train with Federer and Noah.
So cute. The shared Swiss heritage and they seem to get along great.
I quit my job during the pandemic and moved to Switzerland to finish my doctorate. I'm seriously considering staying here. They're not joking about the importance of the trains. The public transit - it's truly transformative in how I live day to day and for leisure time. (And yes, the punctuality of the transit is just unbeatable. I appreciate that I won't miss my connection even if the GOAT Herr Federer is on the train. :D)
It delights me to see the Federer Express tram in Basel now and then.
La Suisse a vraiment gagné avec ces deux monstres sacré!! Je dirai même le.gros lot. Ils sont magnifiques les deux.
If Trevor and Roger organize a Switzerland tour from the USA, I want my daughter and I to be one of the first participants.
Went there a few weeks ago for a weekend stay in Basel. I've been raving about it ever since. Everyone should visit Switzerland!
To learn tennis from Roger Federer, and to have him as a tour guide. Who could ask for anything more?
I love Switzerland 🇨🇭 and visited this country along with 21 other European countries in one shot.. love 💕 Swiss from Buffalo New York USA 🇺🇸
The last time I skied in Zermatt was in 1975 with my younger brother. Some day I hope to return with him to relive the experience. Although, we were young then, and now...not so much. Zermatt was such a special place then, I imagine has changed a bit; but, still amazing. The last time I was in Switzerland was about a decade ago, and Zurich was still amazing.
Visit Gastad region, so many great downhill and cross country trails.
Trevaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! We miss you! 😭
I know you were trying to promote the landscapes, but, with such handsome men in the foreground, I missed the mountains, the snow and the trains.
Thanks. Great to see Roger again after very very emotional farewell. Greetings all the way from Georgia, Tbilisi and God bless
Do you like Kvara
@@garrettreviews7825 Impossible not to like him and what he did for Georgian football on one hand, and on the other hand how he adapted in the same club that your profile picture shows
So cool to see these two together 😊
We wait for you in Ticino❤ amazing adv. Love Roger, Trevor. A perfect match!!! 👏👏👏
Nice to hear Noah’s voice!
Federer is such a pleasure to listen to as well! Switzerland did well raising him.
So different from the monosyllabic Beckham.
This ad with Trevor is the only one I have watched on YT. From the beginning it was engaging and amusing.
Would love to go there someday. Missing you always Roger.
Bring your biggest wallet!
Lol, I love that his dream is to ski down the Matterhorn :) and Roger is like, dude, that is not going to happen, which was immediately my thought too.... Might ski with a view of the Matterhorn on the slopes of Zermatt though.
I’m moving to the Canton of Vaud in a few days’ time. Can’t wait! 🇨🇭😄
Two of my favourite people in the world
That is FANNNNYYYYYYYYY!! Skiing down the Top of the Tobleron Mountain pick.
Switzerland is the best Switzerland 🇨🇭 ❤
How handsome is Federer? I don’t see it said enough. On top of being a true gentleman, classy and imo the 🐐…dude is very handsome.
I miss Trevor! His show was so good. These are great ads, glad they're doing them together. (from Sandi)
Love Switzerland, my family lives there! We visited four years ago, we love it there!
Been 15 years. I can’t wait to go back!
Roger was your tour guide !!! Trevor ur so lucky man
I did those train journey many times! It is amazing!
Love Switzerland 🇨🇭 ❤
Love both of these men❤
I discovered hiking for myself when I was first time in Switzerland. I was supposed to be a small walk before dinner, but I couldn't stop myself getting higher and higher, because the clouds always looked so near. At some point I realized that without, water, sunscreen and dinner in an hour, I have to go back.
The decent is always harder than going up. But I catched the hiking bug at Switzerland and it made me so happy. Plus the food.
roger federer the goat the maestro❤❤
They are both Swiss and South African. If I am not mistaken, Rogers mom is South African.
Federer is the best! Noah is the best! What a pair!
Delightful ...had some special times with my son...Love you Alex
This was adorable haha
Two unique icons. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great job guys
TREVAARRR! Your dad would be so proud!
Miss you Roger!
TREVOR LOOK SO HAPPY 😊GOOD TO SEE HIM WITH HIS FRIEND ROGER ❤
I actually enjoyed the view's and overall conversation . . . - Great individuals in their respective fields
A must go restaurant in Zurich is Kronenhalle. Great art
Always a good idea to visit Switzerland. Even if our South African currency is useless against the Swiss Franc we just make the most of the beautiful scenery. The Swiss Travel Ticket was fantastic value and the transport super effective.
Huge fan. If you need ski assistance your welcome anytime😉
It is good seeing Trevor Noah.
These gents ❤
love these two !!😄
Love u Roger.. miss you
very professional advertisement for Switzerland by Roger Federer :) nice video :)
Ok. Thanks for the advert FT
We have had some bad experiences there as South Africans😅
1. It was a bit stoic and clinical;
2. There is a bit of a lack of activity venues and attractions like other EU destination;
3. We were harassed by border authorities whilst transiting through Zurich over a minor Schengen technicality and were badly treated;
4. It is expensive as one would expect;
5. It is a bit more conservative than other EU countries.
However I am just listing some experiences, I am sure given another chance I would make better experiences there that would rectify these bad ones I have had!
You‘re not incorrect. The SRF recently has been focused on the lack of openness, conservative ways, and racial profiling that happens in Switzerland. It’s a tough subject for the Swiss to speak about, as it can bring upon shame, embarrassment, etc., and they don’t want that kind of attention...but continuing to try and pretend and hide what does happen to many foreigners, and those with color won’t work. It’s a work in progress.
Thank you for sharing! I often want to know the downsides too when visiting a new country & not just the positives.
France Italy Spain all sure to appeal to you better.
One of the first experience I had in Switzerland was that my family and myself were waiting on the bench for the tram. We had no idea we were waiting on the wrong side as there was no bench on the other side of the small grassy track. The tram arrived and there was no door on our side so we immediately ran to the other side and the tram guy closed the door and left without us.
Would love to
Roger was ambassador for Credit Suisse
Trevor is effortlessly funny
Imagine having Federer as your tour guide in Switzerland
just fabulous 🙃
"Rösti - easily my favourite desert". Ahm, ok Trevor, we will let that one slip... Wait with Lindt chocolate on top?
He's half swiss but clearly doesn't know anything about switzerland haha
I didn't quite catch that. Just to hear him say Rösti was enough to make me chuckle. I have two biracial daughters and they use some of my childhood expressions without knowing what exactly they are referring to. They put confi on their Schnitteli and say merci viumau and schlaf guet as a matter of course. Being half Swiss entitles them to a Bettmuempfeli of Schoggi every time!!!
Easily 2 of my most favourite people in the world
演技まで出来るなんて本当にパーフェクトな人ですねフェデラー
Two gentle man ❤❤
Roger 😎
miss you rosheeeerr
I love this❤
Switzerland 🇨🇭🇩🇿
Omg. Dream team. 🎉
Both have Swiss and South African roots, perfect pairing for this purpose.
Trevor Noah, my favorite parachute-skier 😂 take care !!
Interesting! Love these two adventurous guys💙I would love to see another tennis match with you all...and maybe Bill Gates😊😍😉
It rarely happens that I watch commercials on yt until the end, especially not one that lasts over 3 minutes.
I watched this clip until the end.
Ticino is the most beautiful part of Switzerland Roger should go discover ot finally
@@weightaminute7568 lucky you if I could id go there all the time
@@maximesteinebrunner9941 yes it’s a nice region, i love Graubünden too, there are a lot of great spots around the country.
@weight a minute I live in Ticino and will be travelling north to Basel Land next week.
