"...and it did all the things we designed it to do" is still the most haunting line in this song to me. I'm a teacher, and I deal with these kids, whose mental development has been derailed by smartphones and social media, designed to addict.
We've found a legal drug, that gives us a dopamine hit at will, and it's legal for everyone to have all the time.
The more disturbing thing for me is the acceptance of a harmful and dysfunctional paradigm with a profit motive.
The capacity for some level of addiction is inevitable to the technology, imo, but we've gone from an internet doing new things and trying to deliver good service to one with none of these incentives. Social media no longer tries to connect, it tries to divide in order to make a profit. I don't mean that in some grand conspiracy sense, but from the ground up. Facebook doesn't show your posts to everyone who has told facebook they want to see them, unless you pay them. Their feed is not what it purports to be, but a deliberately organized sequence of content meant to maximize retention and ad views even at the detriment of the basic functionality of such a feature. YT has shifted from a subscription-driven model to one where most people don't even seem to understand what a subscription model is anymore, and operate entirely on recommendations. I remember about ten years ago when online education got it's (imo) big debut. Mass education, real opportunities for learning with some reasonable level of feedback, high standards of quality, accessibility... now all that stuff is behind paywalls. Online video allegedly was ending cable, but now we have cable online, with premium streaming services, all with their own monopolized content. Every game these days seems to have some scam tactic to rip off the consumer, even, though that was a bit of an obvious early one.
The internet has degraded in utility and accessibility immensely over the last 10-15 years.
@@seigeengine the internet is just rage culture at this point
when i think of that line, i just infer that anything you find, originated from the mind of someone
Good all drugs should be legal anyway.
no, it's gambling. it might be nice, but it might hurt.
"Has he done any acting?" - Yes, lots. He has acted in recent movies (Promising Young Woman), wrote and directed "8th Grade" (explores anxiety and impact of social media on adolescents), as well as created and acted in a sitcom for MTV, "Zach Stone is gonna be famous" (2013). In fact he started a theatre kid, which I think best explains the dramatic flair and wide range of genres in his comedy and musical creativity.
@@skyt3265 and a cameo in Watsky's music video "Whoa Whoa Whoa"
He has a small part in The Big Sick.
and in Hall Pass he is the bartender
And an episode of Parks & Rec
And a cameo in Funny People, the Adam Sandler movie.
This is form of musical comedy which is more common in Europe and at least here in the Netherlands. A combination of music, comedy and ideas that make you consider things. Bo mentions that the Dutch performer Hans Teeuwen is one of his inspirations. I really like this sort of performances. He has a whole bunch of them, so enjoy them!
dat dan weer wel
Nederlands cabaret is kanker nep
Oh indeed, i didn't think about that yet!
Yea, this is a lot like Dutch Cabaret.
This kind of comedy in general is fairly common in northern europe. Particularily Netherlands, and the Scandinavian countries. Then again, Scandinavian people tend to have humor that is sarcastic and as black a black hole :D
Basically this song was essentially the devil trying to sell you on the Internet. Even worse, its a song of him gloating that hes already won. Children grew up with the internet, and its consumed us. We have the world in our phone in our hand, and with so much to see we are all nonstop using the internet. The laugh at the end is because theres nothing we can do about it, as we are all already obsessed.
"Apathy is a tragedy and boredom is a crime."
The internet is exactly this. You never are truely bored, but you see so much that it all eventually loses its interest or value.
Not the devil. Corporations. Privatization of the internet. It first ot was just people doing thing. Not it's all corporations designing these apps and web site to get u engaged all the time. They dont care if your happy sad watching puppies or murders. As long as your engaging and giving all your info about everything about u while your at it. The internet was designed to do anything. After it was carved out by these private companies and corp. They gave it design and a purpose. U get u hooked.
@@mattstyles2498 In a quote its literally said it meant the devil. Its a deal with the devil. A crooked deal.
@@zephloe can't find the quote. stop trying to tie personal religions that can't be proven or disproven to things that don't have any regards to it. the internet is not the devil, it's everything human. if you hate it, then understand you hate humanity. if you hate the devil, understand your God made him for a specific purpose, so hate him too.
@@foxgeist3129 you don’t seem to understand religion.
@@foxgeist3129 ur in the anti-religion faze, natural faze in any self-aware person who's lost because of their corrupt childhood.
that reminiscent section of the song is really good, because it starts off sounding comforting and warm and homey, and some of the things he says during it start to sound creepy, but it's still got this *tone* to it that's warm... And then he snaps the rug out from under you with that stone-cold armor-piercing sentence, "It was always the plan to put the world in your hands," and that *laugh.* It was always leading to this.
The Harry Potter line is literally talking about rule 34 of the internet.
It’s about Tumblr
@@azurastar6245 Do... do you think Tumblr is the only place to find naughty HP fanart?
What is that? Never heard of any rules of the internet
@@jasonknotts5001 Look up, specifically, what are the rules of the internet. TV Tropes lists them.
@@jasonknotts5001 Rule 34 is "If it exists, there's porn of it."
The cinematography is SO effective in this one! The claustrophobic zooms paired with the increased tempo, the "whiplash" on the Obama line after he rattles off a series of things, both good and bad, that can be found on the internet all jumbled together. The way the light show implies that the internet is a whole universe of its own, and then he turns the lights off and slows the tempo down when he talks about the slower, simpler times when the internet was just forming. The creepy circus villain vibes. He's just genius!
The best (and worst) part is... we never actually intended it to become _this._ But every generation that hit the Internet reshaped it in its own image... and _here we are._
this song always scares the SHIT out of me, especially the “sentimental” part, the villain laugh part, and the fast part after that…. like DAMN that section always has my heart racing
"...this guy could play the Joker..." OMG you hit the nail on the head!!!
Bo looks like the incognito mode man
“Can’t Handle This (Kanye rant)” and “Art is Dead” are both phenomenal songs. Bo is a genius. 👍
Art is Dead is such a good song
my personal fave is the world is on fire
He wrote, performed, edited, and completed an entire comedy special on his own in one room just after the global panorama hit. Yesterday, he released an hour of content that didn't make it into the special.
global panorama lol
hey man, great pause logistics this time.
this song in particular is super interesting for me to watch reactors discover. especially the slow part in the middle when, yes he talks about the old days of the internet, but he focuses in on “you” or us. the whole “unstoppable, watchable you” seems to me to point towards us as content creators. not only youtubers, but also all of us who use instagram/social media to create content and turn our “inside’s out.” like showing who we are to the world. like being a reactor or a twitch streamer is kind of inviting everyone in, to you, as a person, as content.
of course we are too old to have been given an ipad at 2 years old. but the internet still sways anyone who has bought in.
there’s a lot in the rest of the special about digital reality versus physical.
bo is the character. representing the internet. and the songs music gives you a bit of an uneasy feeling. alluding to the internet giving us an uneasy feeling. but doesn’t necessarily label it bad.
idk, bo has this speech in make happy, right before his kanye rant that is always skipped, where he talks about relating to crowds with performance anxiety. where everyone performs everyday to each other all the time on social media. and then goes on to say maybe we should try to live our lives without an audience.
i personally can’t. i’m addicted to social media and the internet, but always interesting to see reactors for this one
Thanks! Yeah, this song goes deep I'm sure if I listen to 10 more times I may have a different perspective.
You are right petition for him to play The Joker
He is a great actor- he is amazing in ‘Promising Young Woman’. He also directed a fantastic movie, ‘8th Grade’.
"Words, words, words" and "I'm Bo Yo" are crazy! So many bars and comedy at the same time 🔥🔥🔥
Love it man! Please keep up the Bo reactions. Honestly anything and everything by him is great
the Harry Potter line is just because to basically every tv-show or movie/movie series there are fanarts. Just drawings people make about the series and there is basically always 18+ art.
The way he talks about the old internet and the past, then laughs. Laughing because those days are over and we won’t and can’t go back now, sent chills down my spine.
This is Bo's best work imo
This is my first of your videos, and you seem like a pretty chill dude. I'm sure you got all kinds of comments trying to bring attention to other interpretations of the song that the one you described, so I'll refrain from adding to the cacophony. But I do think you should check out The Fine Print
By: The Stupendium.
It's based on a video game called the Outer Worlds, the story of which is a bit too long for me to get into here. But it's pretty much a Corporate Dystopia.
For just starting out ur doing amazing!! Love the channel :)
I like the closing portion with the cacophany in the background
I think you’re a little wrong on the “he’s taking jabs at the people who post all of the time” after he says the line “tell us every thought you think”. He’s portraying the Internet as a sort of omniscient villain. The whole story builds as this “welcome in, come and stay a while we have everything you need”. The people who tell the Internet every thought they have are doing EXACTLY what the villain wants them to do. It’s exactly what it was designed for. I believe Bo is trying to garner empathy for the people trapped by this villain, including himself.
The music sounds like something you would relate with a carnival lol 😆
Well, what is the Internet, if not the world’s biggest, craziest, most absurd and self-contradicting carnival?
I remember chat rooms, I used to love the internet now I hate the internet but through years of loving it in the 90s it's hard to let go. Still trying to give it up.
He's a comedian. This is just one song of his Netflix special. The special was all about being in lockdown. When you get a chance you should watch it to really get everything he's trying to convey. The songs by themselves are all really good. There's just a bit more context when you see them in the order he performed them.
More Bo burnham! Thank you for the reactions!
It’s not a coincidence the villain laugh happens right before he goes back into talking as the internet
He's talking as the Internet throughout the entire breakdown.
Hell yeah! Keep digging!
The Harry potter bit was just rule 34 dude
Incredible !!! What an incredibly imaginative brilliant mind he has !!!!
The man is a damn musical genius, period. I am in awe of him and definitely not alone. So glad you are reacting to it. If you haven't seen his Netflix special "Inside" and you are able to, I really encourage you to because it is brilliance from beginning to end. I have seen it an obscene amount of times and I don't think I'm alone. Thanks for the video.
First time I've listened to Bo. Thanks for the introduction!
I hope you went down the rabbit hole. If you didn't, I'd still recommend it.
This guy can't play the joker... he is the joker!
lol he did a tv show called zack stone is gonna be famous but it was when he was still a teen.
I think checking out tim minchin might be cool for you ;)
Basically this song is saying how the internet is an over stimulating experience that gives us anything and everything all the time instantly at the push of a button. The internet also breeds narcissism, destorys privacy, feeds impulses and disconnects us from the real world.
The way the song is constructed it speeds up and gets more fast paced and chaotic as it goes along similar to how the internet has grown and expanded as well as how you can go on looking for certain things and next thing you know you in a completely different place looking at something totally unrelated. Bo filmed this entire special during quarantine by himself in his room if you watch the complete special it's very interesting to see how it's put together and how good he is
you draw me in polo. great everything. subed
"people raised with hate", and apt way to describe a lot of Americans.
That part where the internet knew it would be ready for insatiable little ones programed to do exactly what if does. Despite some good, it unfortunately consumes us & take a toll on our mental health. Like we are addicts & now families are all addicted. Scary being pregnant. Want my child to know how to be present & in the moment. And I don't have social media with exception for youtube. Got off Tiktok because it was an ultra rush of good information & yet crushing moments. I would waste a whole night chasing the dopamine of it. Now still feel like I'm weaning off. And genz may think we're over exaggerating but we remember a time before, when you could just enjoy Disneyland or a child's birthday party without needing your glowy device to give you anything and everything all of the time. It's scary to see the addiction it holds on all of us. In the song I love the speed up of the beginning like getting wrapped up in the madness. Information overload. The slow down where he's explained how it's locked in to even our 2 two year olds & how doomed is our future is the moment where it all hits.
The part that bends my mind, is him operating the lighting (all audio/video) as he performs.
And YES check out Harry Potter. Lol
As someone born in the 70s, I can tell you there was a point where computers only did what people told them to do, and now people only do what computers tell them to do.
Bo spent 5 years inside. You need to listen to his early stage stuff, his last stage show was the one where he parodies Kanye West. Then he plunged into depression, he was ready to face the world again when covid hit. INSIDE is his response.
Please do some of his early stuff like I'm Bo Yo, Words, words, words, Rant (not Kanye), and then the non-live version of Repeat Stuff.
gotta just watch Inside in it's entirety!
The type of music you were trying to think of is “big band” “bohemian” or “swing”
Love your channel...Bo is at next level after genius
HAPPY NEW YEARS 2023
That Spike Jonze beat, though.
What exactly is that intro/outro? I was really vibing to it.
This song always gives me carnival ride music vibes
Bo Burham isn't allowed to play the Joker. He'd be too powerful. Unstoppable by the virtue of being so likeable and real about his motives, yet so hammy and over the top.
5:08 - in this case he is not an architect, his a promoter.
Love
That last part feels a bit overwhelming to me, but honestly it fits the internet well, because the internet can be very overwhelming
Btw when he said "waiting for you" I don't think he literally meant people, I feel like he was talking about how the internet grew into this crazy concept that is now our life... "It was always the plan, to put the world in your hand" kinda seems to suggest this theory. But idk
I'd live to hear your thoughts/reaction to Rittz!! Specifically 'Dork Rap' if you haven't heard it before. Rittz is a rapper from PA originally, he talks a lot about his real life struggles, dealing with his grandfather passing, family members and friends they he's had to watch go through cancer, etc. So done of his stuff is pretty heavy, but always uplifting. 'Dork Rap' is one of my favorites because it's basically him just clowning on the industry/corny dorky rappers, but all in a hilarious way. Another good one from Rittz is 'Spiraling Out of Control'
Absolutely more Bo Burnham called look who’s inside again 😂
"no comment" said more than anything else you could have said
just wanted to say that he is in the movie promsing young woman
This song is chilling because you realize that an entire generation of children are going to grow up with the Internet as their main source of communication, information, guidance, entertainment, and morality. Their very minds are being shaped and sculpted by sinister hands that do not have their interest at heart.
You're blowing off your kids and letting them spend all day on the Internet just to have a break from them.. well where do you think they are getting all of their mental development, morality, addictions, habits, and the foundation of their impressionable personalities from? It's all being handled by the Internet now. Not teachers... parents... churches..or even books... it's literally all the Internet now. It's living rent free in all of our heads now and these kids are not really even human anymore. At no point in history were humans ever raised like this... it's all new... and like I said.. the people that built it, only had one thing in mind the whole time. Get you addicted as hard as possible, distract you continuously, control your mind, record all your information, take all your money, and keep you coming back for more for life. These are the people shaping the whole generation's minds. Think about that.
People thought raising your kids on TV was bad... but at least TV had structure, and censorship, and had to be at least a little responsible and reasonable with programming. The Internet has no such restrictions or responsibilities.
It answers to no one. It doesn't care if it warps your mind or scrambles your brain. That was always the plan from the start.
I'd recommend "How The World Works" for your next Bo Burnham reaction.
Seconded!
All I envision is Beetlejuice. Found you through Bo's "Inside" song feed.
It's poking fun at and pointing at just how twisted the internet has become. The amount of information is so vast that it's overwhelming and is breaking people mentally. But that's the point it was designed to break people.
Yes, he's an actor :)
Just an analysis:
I can't help but feel that the fastening of words (to fit his tempo at that time) when he mentions the Harry Potter character drawings is speaking to the randomality of the internet. AKA, how weird and specific it can be. The fact that you can find "anything:. In this instance however, he just chose to use Harry Potter as an example.
Rule 34. Don’t google it just like you wouldn’t google blue waffle
“I have watched Bo Burnham’s ‘Can’t Handle This’ Kanye rant 10,000 times…” You and me, both, and a lot of other people, too! I love Bo Burnham’s excellent sense of storytelling, his understanding of lighting design, color, editing, and of course, his songwriting, musicianship, singing, and arrangements of his songs. There’s no such thing as too many reaction videos to Bo Burnham. It’s endlessly fascinating to see how other people react to this guy - what are the things that you caught, what stood out, how it made you feel, did it make you think… Great job, and keep the Bo reaction videos coming… 😂🎉😅
Bo is brilliant !!!!!!!!!!
Check out tim minchin "Racisim" he was one of The people who influenced Bo
i have to know..... what do you say at 8 min 10 sec cause i cant figure it out
Bo Burnham would make a great joker. I'd watch it.
POLO PLEASE JUMP ON HIS LATEST THE CHICKEN. IT'S GENIUS!
Do Bo Burnhams ”Sad” it’s his greatest creation
Literally, not rule 34 or whatever that kid said for Harry Potter. It’s about Tumblr.
Incredible lyrics. Playing Satan laughing at us all.
He has a point. People act like you're just lazy if you're ever bored these days. Boredom is important. If no one is ever bored, then culture grows stagnant.
Bo is a legend. And absolutely check out Harry Potter.
Coast contra 😉
For the algorithm
if you check out harry potter I recommend reading the books first. (that way you can create your own images of the settings and characters in your head and aren't stuck with whatever the movies decided to make it look like)
Also there's just way more in the books then in the movies.
Hey can you react to {Phineas and Ferb songs "Summer belongs to you!", "Hey Ferb", and "Rollercoaster"?
I'm, Bo Yo! The OG Bo song, please react!
CHECK OUT "SAD" Video
The artist is dead ..... I think that's the name of his one video ...everything he does fantastic !!!
Yeah... feet are made for walking.
lol.....I normally don't mind your pauses, because you do them well paced and whatnot.
But literally thru this entire thing I kept yelling at my screen.... "for the love of god....just LISTEN to it. do you have to comment on literally every single line??? you're missing the flow of it entirely."
ok........I'm ok. rant over. :P Still love this channel....just....gah. Couldn't handle this one. Just. Far. Too. Much. Pausing.
Anyone else thinks this guys mustache look drawn on?
It’s more of a circus sound to me 🤡
Yeah, i have Bo’s character Int Ern Et or “Eeee” as he often puts it as the “god” (devil? Extraplanar entity? Fallen angel? Mad mage who has seen too much? … its really up in the air still…) of entertainment now in most of my D&D and similar rpg worlds, the players always look forward to and fear at the same time any instance of calliope music beginning to play or the cackle beginning to echo around them.
www=666 in Hebrew
Woo hoo! I’m first :)
i just dont know how is he not vibing like......
ATLEAST move your head bro
Oh the Harry potter joke has nothing to do with the series, is just a joke to the fanartist and rule 34 community of the internet
You never watch Harry Potter
i dont belive this is ur first time seeing :P
Lor
I watch reaction videos every day. I get pausing, but the frequency on this video almost feels like a troll. For me, it makes it less watchable.
Much love, and good luck with your channel.
