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 😂

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!
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! ❤
Roger describing my childhood so well makes me realize how blessed I've been.
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🇨🇭

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.

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.😁
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!
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!
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?
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!
the collab that was always meant to be but we didn't expect.
I am watching this because of Trevor Noah. Miss seeing him ❤❤❤
Watched, SO SO NICE. WACHED the video, Missing the train with Federer and Noah.
Wow... The Pride of Switzerland! Amazing landscape. Looks heavenly 🙌😎
Federer is Swiss with a South African mother and Noah is a South African with a Swiss father.
What a beautiful country.
So cute. The shared Swiss heritage and they seem to get along great.
We wait for you in Ticino❤ amazing adv. Love Roger, Trevor. A perfect match!!! 👏👏👏
Went there a few weeks ago for a weekend stay in Basel. I've been raving about it ever since. Everyone should visit Switzerland!
I love Switzerland 🇨🇭 and visited this country along with 21 other European countries in one shot.. love 💕 Swiss from Buffalo New York USA 🇺🇸

Thank you Roger & Trevor for your easy-going friendliness together 👏🤝🙏

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.
I miss Trevor! His show was so good. These are great ads, glad they're doing them together. (from Sandi)
Love Switzerland 🇨🇭 ❤
I did those train journey many times! It is amazing!
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.

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.

To learn tennis from Roger Federer, and to have him as a tour guide. Who could ask for anything more?
I’m moving to the Canton of Vaud in a few days’ time. Can’t wait! 🇨🇭😄
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.
That is FANNNNYYYYYYYYY!! Skiing down the Top of the Tobleron Mountain pick.
Two of my favourite people in the world
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 actually enjoyed the view's and overall conversation . . . - Great individuals in their respective fields
Miss you Roger!
Two unique icons. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

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.
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.
They are both Swiss and South African. If I am not mistaken, Rogers mom is South African.
These gents ❤
A must go restaurant in Zurich is Kronenhalle. Great art
love these two !!😄
TREVAARRR! Your dad would be so proud!
This was adorable haha
Been 15 years. I can’t wait to go back!
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.
Two gentle man ❤❤
Huge fan. If you need ski assistance your welcome anytime😉
just fabulous 🙃
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.
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.

I didn't quite catch that. Just to hear him say Rösti was enough to make me chuckle.

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!!!
