Daily Show host Trevor Noah offers up quite possibly the worst reason to do away with gender reveal parties [video]

Gender reveal parties are basically just an excuse for an expectant mother to get more attention, and possibly more gifts. Sorry, but it’s true.

And aside from being largely pointless, these parties can be actively destructive. The El Dorado fire in California is just the latest disaster resulting from a gender reveal party gone wrong.

That said, though, “Daily Show” host Trevor Noah’s argument against gender reveal parties is straight-up terrible:

Noah’s known for being unfunny despite making a living as a comedian, and we’d say that reputation is pretty spot-on.

NOAH: "And aside from all the damage it can cause, celebrating a baby’s genitalia is starting to feel very outdated. Like. given everything we’re learning about gender, gender reveal parties should only happen when the child is old enough to know their actual gender"

This is what happens when woke comedians try to be serious for a minute. It just doesn’t work.

I'm calling a 100% prophecy prediction on this one from @TheBabylonBee https://t.co/3QmKNrRYko

Honestly, the Babylon Bee did it better. Much better.

Anyone realizing how dumb this person really is and that he’s not funny? This might help. https://t.co/Ydbj0SX7Oa

Trevor will have to significantly improve to be considered a lousy comedian.
