If you were to pick the funny man that entertains you most, would it be Skhumba Hlophe or Trevor Noah? 

This is something that has kept tweeps busy for most of Wednesday afternoon with responses varying from "why does this comparison even exist" to "Definitely Trevor. Or Skhumba". 

Just to weigh in a bit on this conversation: Both Skhumba and Trevor are successful in their respective careers, with both having sold out shows, a major presence on broadcast media and a strong fan base. 

While they are apples and pears to compare the two, tweeps have led themselves down a slippery slope by comparing the two acts. And, the cherry on top is that we're all just a little uncertain where the story began. 

See what they had to say: 

You guys just like comparing things that can co-exist. I eat nandos and chicken licken, I laugh at both skhumba and trevor jokes, I jam to aka, cassper and prince kaybee tracks and I shop at Woolworths and shoprite...

Skhumba is not even close to being funny and most people tolerate him because when saying a joke he laughs while telling it pic.twitter.com/AkPKE1eOO1

Trevor is you research kind of guy funny

Skhumba is the kind of guy that portrays the township funny

Mashabela will swear and offend people funny

Peter Mashata musical conversation funny

All I'm trying to say is everyone is funny in their own way.

The fact that Skhumba is being compared to Trevor says a lot about him and the brand he has made for himself pic.twitter.com/cO348QaPXV

Skhumba and Trevor Noah are both funny. If you are familiar with the life ekasi , our daily struggles then you will easily understand skhumba and realize how funny he is. If you are familiar with global issues especially American politics thatโ€™s when you see how funny Trevor is
