Brad: "This is gonna be it, isn't it? This is going to be the part where he hits you right in the heart."
Bo: "bloololooloolooloop!"
Brad: "if he sticks true to what he normally does, he's gonna shift into more serious matters here"
Bo: "I'd blow my dad before I'd eat a burrito with a fork"
@@max_mittler truly the most serious and true line ever said by bo burnham. No contest undoubtedly.
I literally laughed so hard unexpectedly when Bo says...." I'd _____ my dad first before eating a burrito with a fork.". That I choked on soda that came out my nose all fizzy and painful it was truly memorable.
he does a vwry good turkey impression
Definition of Bo lol
The "i hope you're happy" at the end has a double meaning. He's saying he hopes his fans are happy because he genuinely cares about them, but he's also saying it as look what you've done to me, i hope you're happy.
He's a genius
In a podcast a bit later he actually said that the line "I hope you're happy" was supposed to sound way more ironic, but it just came out like that accidentally
Do you know what podcast that is?
@@riceconsumer823 the one i got my info from was the h3h3 podcast
The look on his face when he gives that line is always the part that kills me the most because you can just see how much he is struggling in that moment. I remember being genuinely relieved to hear he was taking a break after seeing that special, like this song made me scared for him if he kept going
@@TheB0sss I think I've heard that on different nights the line would be more genuine or more ironic, and most of the time it was meant to be spiteful, but the night they recorded for the netflix special it was him genuinely hoping he had made people happy with what he did.
Granted, I got my info from another youtube comment somewhere, so take it with a grain of salt.
I've fallen down a rabbit hole lately of watching people discover Bo Burnham. This was by far the best reaction I've seen. You were so into it and and seemed to be genuinely enjoying the experience. Keep up the good work, bud!
Glad I'm not alone in this rabbit hole.
There's three of us, now.

Just his facial expression at the end when he drops the mic just hurts my heart, and then he goes on his 5 year-long break.
Agreed. Felt so bad for him when he dropped the mic. I am glad he found help to deal with this. It could have ended so bad…
The sarcastic "I hope you're happy" lands SO FUCKING HARD
There is dropping the mic, and then there is Bo letting go of it in disgust.
“I hope that you’re happy, cause he’s sure not” bo burnham’s right brain
@callmecatalyst it’s his right brain that says the line
@callmecatalyst The whole line is “Half of his problems were supposed to be mine, but you wanted everything. I hope that you’re happy, cause he’s sure not” spoken by Bo’s right brain character during the song “Left Brain/Right Brain”
@callmecatalyst nope that line was by right brain as well
He's said in interviews he had a panic attack during this performance, and went and cried for an hour right after he left the stage
And ppl who were there seem to have confirmed it. Because he was late to the signing after the show due to the panic attack and recovery.
No wonder why he quit for 5 years. I mean, i love his self deprecating humor but,,, like,,, which one of us is gonna book him the therapy session?
I never knew that. I’ve seen videos where his panic attacks are much more obvious. I could never hide it so well as he does. That shows how many times he’s had them. I’m glad he took a break.
I can see why it'd be _this_ song too. It's so real, so direct, the humor on it challenges the formula so much and it has such a strong critique to his audience, dude probably was thinking "this is the day I'm booed out of the stage, it'll finally happen" the whole damn time =/
woah was it this performance? because when i watched it earlier i thought about that like just the way it ends and the way he walks off stage felt so emotional and real it would make so much sense for that to happen
that is honestly very very sad
Knowing that he broke down crying back stage after this, then literally took a 5 year break so he didn’t self destruct breaks my heart. I’m so glad he’s doing better.
it's so much clearer when he goes back into the chorus after the beautiful lights-down-low bridge, it's suddenly clear that the burrito spiel is a "i've got too much on my plate" kinda thing- absolutely love how he sets it up as light and funny and then gives you another perspective
*only bo can get me blubbing over a fucking burrito metaphor*
Nope. The Pringles can and burrito bits were just silly bullshit he came up with to be funny. No metaphor, so sayeth bo himself.
@@ghoulishgam3r508 ya i think its just to show the difference between his real problems and the parts that are kinda just for the comedy
The only other person I have heard so such an amazing job with lyrics is Brendan Urie
I watched "inside" and became obsessed with how he thinks, so I watched this special after and it had me in tears feeling very reminiscent of "All eyes on me." I understood it so much more. And the fact that all of his "part of me hates you, part of me fears you" are all in the same deep voice he uses for "All eyes on me" fucking rocks me to my core. Damn.
Meanwhile, for someone like me who experienced the opposite (was a general fan of his shows and followed him on Vine and watched him dissapear) seeing Inside suddenly pop up... hurt. It just hurt to see. Because in the end he looked so, so different that what I remembered five years prior and he still had all that desperate, intricately picked apart and brutally presented _pain_ from back then. And it hurt because I still empathised with it, perhaps even more strongly than I did before. Like ffs he's only five years older than me.
The burrito was a comedically blanketed metaphor for fame.
"You're the experts. You should have told me not to pile on so much stuff. I wouldn't have gotten/done half the things I did if I knew it wouldn't fit into my comfort zone and spill to the point that I can't handle it."
Apparently it's not an actually meant as one, bo said that he just thought it was funny
Unfortunately I don't know where the source for that is
Honestly, you're one of my favourite reactors to Bo's work.. You just.. get it. The muting of the swear words was a bit jarring mind - then again, I don't know you well enough to know your audience so I'm sure that's a conscious decision on your end and can accept that. Top work though, keep them coming. I'd love to watch you, watch the entire special though so you can go through the emotional rollercoaster like we all did!
Thanks for being cool about it, Joseph. I know I have a lot of kids that watch so I try to censor as much as I can for that reason. Some think it’s pointless but it gives me some peace of mind to know that I’m helping kids keep a little innocence as long as they can 😂 thanks for watching!
@@BradSteele No mate, it's not for us as your audience to dictate what measures you have in place. For me, it's great that you are aware enough to want to protect your younger audience. Honestly, I watch your videos and feel like I could talk to you for hours about things - I've never connected with a content creator on this platform before! Please keep up the great work!
@@BradSteele I know your intentions are good here, but I feel like the muting at 8:40 makes it sound much worse than it actually is 😅
@@Umbra451 well we've all seen the video already. i'm pretty sure he actually hears it on his end
@@Umbra451 yeah, the censoring of that line makes it sound so much worse than it is, which is why it's hilarious to me.
One of the most haunting performances I’ve ever seen; and I was at this show. I legitimately was numb for a week after it. No words can describe how crushed and in awe I was.
Wow. That must've been so powerful watching live. I was in the comfort of my living room and was stunned, so I can only imagine having to leave the theater and go about the rest of your night like everything is normal.
I was also there and remember turning to my wife and asking if he just quit comedy.
This has probably already been said. I’m too lazy to look at the comments. But this performance was in 2015... this is the last tour before he quit performing live because of his anxiety, like he says in all eyes on me. What’s really cool is that this is the last song of the live performance, but in the actual special there is also an outro that he recorded with just him and a keyboard in the exact same room that he made “Inside” in, and the song is about mental issues and happiness, so it thematically leads into Inside as well as visually by being recorded in the same room. Even how the song is basically him confessing about his anxiety and about how he can’t handle the attention and performance right now, so he’s foreshadowing his break from comedy.
I’m sure that wasn’t I’m his intention when he made it cause he had no idea he would eventually make inside back then, but it just links up so perfectly.
This is the last song of the tour as well.
Do you know if anyone has a recording of that outro? I'd love to watch it.
@@piyo744 if you have Netflix it’s at the very end of his Make Happy special. It’s called Are You Happy? It starts right after he walks off stage.
@@crycrywolf Ohhhh, right. That's what I assumed.
yeah i'm gonna go ahead and assert that inside likely wasn't an idea in his mind right after "make happy", and that room is a guest house he has on his property. BUT, it just so happens to tie perfectly into "inside" just as you said. Also, at the very end of "inside", he leaves the same way as in "make happy", but this time he tries to claw his way back inside, showing even further his mental decline
the “listing off trivial things” could actually be seen as a huge metaphor for him not being prepared to be this famous. no one warned him that it would be like this. everything keeps adding on and he can’t handle it, and so his burrito spills.
the lighting is also a huge part of this. in the beginning, it starts off with lights on bo himself. this could represent the product “bo burnham”, because it’s all a brand. they’re presenting a product. when the lights fade and it’s only a light on his face, it’s more personal because you’re right on his face, and so he gets more deep and personal lyrically too. after that, the lighting goes behind him and so there’s no lighting on him anymore, because they’re presenting the brand “bo burnham” again. “so i should probably just shut up and do my job so here i go” is him going back into that brand representation and away from that personal view.
the lighting bo uses in his shows is also amazing, and this is my all time favorite.
I thought the same thing about the burrito spiel. Unfortunately he said in an interview that it wasn’t meant to be symbolic :( but it was so perfect
@@ZePopTart I saw that interview too. It was a theatrical pringles and burrito but people like to exaggerate too much about it.
@@ZePopTart well that's the beauty of his songs everyone can interpret it differently depending on what they're going through. I personally still think this metaphor is what I interpret it as.
Bo confirmed that this wasnt his intention, but its still a great metaphor
there's one more song to that special that happens after he walks off stage, and you would swear from it that he knew exactly what special he would be making 5 years later
when I watched Make Happy again after watching Inside it really blew my mind that they fit together so perfectly but are so far apart and Inside was obviously filmed due to the pandemic so it isn’t like he planned it all that time ago. It worked perfectly
@@bethanypurves8005 it's like emergent genius. it looks so perfectly arranged but couldn't possibly have been. he couldn't have intended the ending of "make happy" to lead into anything, but he clearly saw the opportunity he'd inadvertently given himself and ran with it. it's true genius, and if you watch the specials one after the other, they feel like one continual work
I often suspect Bo is a time traveler that came back and decided to craft the perfectly timed career.
“We think we know you” is also a great bo performance!
I don't think he will react to it though. The word "fag" is used SO MANY TIMES, it would be a lot of censoring, to the point it would ruin the song
@@heidia.8198 which is a shame, because the song is about empowering yourself and using that negativity as fuel for your creativity.
@@SnakeBite27 absolutely! It's amazing how he turned all that negative "noise" into everything he does!
@@heidia.8198 Oh yeah I never thought about that! perhaps he can watch it in his own time, it is one of the most powerful performances I've ever seen!
I rewatched Make Happy earlier today and realized that there are quite a few hecklers in this show, I reckon it doesn't help his situation
yeah i saw this show in new orleans, and there was a heckler there too. it’s insane to me how you wouldn’t be able to tell he was struggling up there. makes me sad thinking back about it :(
That makes me so angry. I’m older and I’ve always looked at Bo in a motherly way where I just want to protect him and feed him snacks.
Hecklers should be for a select few stand up comedians who like to go after a crowd (Jimmy Carr, Chad Daniels, etc), and even then don't be a jerk about it. Bo Burnham isn't doing stand up comedy. He's *performing* . Everything is carefully planned, and timed to the nanosecond. So even setting aside the effect that might have had on him, it is so goddamn disrespectful to heckle what he does that it makes me want to puke. It would be like heckling the Carol Burnett Show, or a Broadway play.
Can you imagine paying money for a ticket to go see someone else perform, and having such an outsized ego to think "this show would be better if I was the star"??
Sorry for the rant, but hearing about people heckling him fired me up.
It seems like people love to come out and heckle him and I just don't understand it at all. He's such a great performer, like, how can you interrupt him like that?
@@heidia.8198 It's an unfortunate loop a few comedians find themselves in. During the What tour there were a lot of "Bo Burnham Owns Hecklers" compilations coming out. He was really really good at dealing with hecklers in a way that kept the show funny and made him look good. Which people loved seeing. Which encouraged more people to heckle him to get more.
the "put your hands up" thing in this song i'm pretty sure is exactly what he was referencing in all eyes on me. this was the last show he ever did live and had a breakdown during and afterwards.
To make this song more heartbreaking, he later said that he was having a panic attack during this song.
I’ve always wondered if that was what the screaming was for if it was part of the song
@@drewziesmer1178 the screaming is part of the act, but they definitely sound different than the tour date I attended. They sounded a little more.. idk controlled when I saw it
Any link to where he says?
@@Sam_371 the last (3rd) scream is way too real...
That actually makes a lot of sense if true. The energy of the song feels like a panic attack being disguised for the sake of entertainment, like when you panic at a party but desperately try to hide it so you don’t ruin the mood for everyone else. A lot of his work is actually quite revealing to who he is and where his mental state is. It’s vulnerable and you can even hear his voice shake during the second half of the song. Bo is one of those performers you know is being real and genuine for his audience and I respect him for that.
Watch this entire special, the 10 minutes before he did this song is some of the most raw emotional content you'll ever see.. Also, (maybe not for your youtube page) but watch "We think we know you".. all epic
I remember watching this for the first time and feeling very uncomfortable with the crowd cheering at the end. It felt like such a final moment for me, and really it was, and I was in tears but they were just...happy
You should listen to “Are you Happy” It plays right after this song and every time I listen to it I connect with it but also can’t help but feel sad for Bo. It’s probably one of my favorite songs by him
Should take a look at the outro song right after this in Make Happy. "Are you happy?" Just Bo, alone in the same room from Inside. Singing a song.
The screams towards the end of the song give me chills every single time I hear this song.
Love your reactions, please do "art is dead" next, it's probably my favorite one of him and it's just amazing considering he was 19-20yrs old when writing this masterpiece.
Hey dude, try "We think we know you" by Bo. From the "what" show
I mean What was great add to that from Gods perspective and Left brain right brain to that list of must watch but you are right I think that was the 1st skit he did that sort of hinted to his hardship and what was to come.
Idk if he could really react to "We think we know you" on this channel because of the censoring. It's not a big deal in most songs, but for that one a huuuge chunk of the song would have to be censored which would kinda suck to listen to and, I think, detract from the point of the song which is Bo taking the shit people spew at him and turning it into/drowning it out with his music. He should definitely listen to it on his own though!
And he hasn't performed live since. This performance breaks my heart every time. Thank you for an amazing reaction. 💜
As someone else said in a different reaction to this same song said, "I love to live vicariously through the people discovering Bo's work after inside and watching them suffer the backlash and slowly understand hi's situation when they react to song's like the Kanye Rant followed up by All eyes on me and such". (Im paraphrasing a bit but the feeling is the same)
Bo: "I cant fit my hand inside of a pringle can"
Brad: " *ugh* "
Hahahaha this was such a genuine reaction!
“I hope you’re happy” is my fav part for many reasons
I hope you’re happy with this show Or
I hope you’re happy, look what y’all did to me or
I hope you’re happy with life
It’s so deep
Especially when you hear that line and go immediately into the final song "Are You Happy?" which is along the similar vein of "I hope you are happy, but if you are, can you show me how, because I'm not"
I love the humour with more trivial issues and comparing it to a more relatable Kanye rant. And then how he switches gears, we all get emotional whiplash and then reveals that he was making it funny so that he could get that deep at the end.
He also said in interview that the watchers at home understood what he was saying more than the crowd live.
He also said the "I hope you're happy" was meant to be a double meaning, and in some shows it was much more like "I hope you're f*cking happy" lol
Bo has my vote as the best millennial artist to date, he has elevated the stand-up comedy genre beyond what anyone else in the industry is capable of.
His musical talent is what sets him apart - the way he can seamlessly weave dark humor, satire, and existential dread into his comedy is nothing less than genius.
Great reaction. Watched the kanye rant and his special over 50 times and it still gives me chills when he says “attempts to give you what he cannot give himself.”
I know he has autotune on, but the first "I don't think that I can handle this right now" felt so raw. It was truly chilling. You could tell he meant it.
Before anyone claims that Bo intended the pringles and burrito rant to be metaphors for something deeper, they're not. Bo himself said it's not.
Thank you, exactly!
Can you give the link where he said it please?
I mean, on inside during that reaction part he also said that him saying his stuff is just a silly song is also a defense mechanism, he fears that that criticism will be used against him so he does it himself, so idk
@@KuroNeko22949 ua-cam.com/video/eOABIabgRCg/v-deo.html
@@KuroNeko22949 its that interview i dont have the timestamp
I read somewhere someone pointed out Pringle's "CAN't HANDle This Right Now".
The panic attacks are visible and you can hear it when he yells at 12:54 that wasn't part of the song where he kept yelling. He spoke about that was where the panic attack was peaking and he was trying to just finish the song so he could leave. He quit performing right after this song for those 5 years.
Thanks for actually understanding what he was doing and the depth. So many reactors obviously haven't had to deal with real depression and just laugh over it all not understanding exactly what he was saying and what was going on. I tear up every time knowing exactly how he feels.
"They wanna make other people laugh because they don't want other people to feel like they do." When you said that Robin Williams came to my mind and I immediately started crying. You're so right about that.
Heyyyy bro congrats on 100k been listening to Just be Bored love your vids keep it up!
I love seeing your reviews of Bo…it seems like you’re one of the only youtubers who gets Bo like we do. Keep doing your thing brother!
I love Burnham’s poignant work more when I watch people reacting to it. It’s so refreshing to see and hear new takes on his work. And I’ve got to say, out of all the Burnham reactions I’ve seen, you get it the most. I guess as you’re an artist/songwriter yourselves you can understand it from a place others can’t. And also as Burnham usually talks about the way he feels about the internet and the ‘audience’ you can relate better as a content creator. Please keep these reactions coming, they’re great! I’d recommend ‘From Gods perspective’, it’s funny, creative and as always it has a great message!
Oh, man. That ending wasn't done. That was like the UA-cam pre-release teaser video. The actual ending to the special hits SO MUCH fucking HARDER. There is more after he drops the mic down
on a scale of 1-0 are you happy....even typing it gets the tears flowing.
This song isn't about pringles and chicken burritos, the whole song is a metaphor for fame and mental health
I mean the end it is, but the burrito and Pringle skit is literally a joke, you can hear more about it in Bo's interviews, he even mocks people saying stuff like, "oh the burrito means his heart and the ingredients are the feelings that he can't stuff in" etc.
@@juliendelzett9926 hahahah yeah ive heard those interviews its funny to me how people can look so much into a literal joke
@@danielmontoya2494 Considering the theme, I don't really blame them for reading into it. "I can't handle it right now" - "burrito can't contain everything" - "can't reach into the pringles can". I mean they could easily be metaphors, since they all deal with not being able to do/have/reach something.
@@xsalience4487 yeah, but it kind of makes you think, what’s more important to the fans? The way the artist intended it, or the way it can be interpreted? It’s still interesting to think that his funny, trivial problems are so similar in a way to his serious, mental problems.
This song made me cry when I first heard it. A lot of his songs have and I laugh as I cry and I'm a mess by the end and then he kinda puts me back together and oh my God he's freaking brilliant...
Even though this is the last song of the live show, there is a song that follows this during the special that leads almost directly into Inside (the last scene of which was used for the teaser trailer for Inside), called "Are You Happy?"
If you have a moment, you definitely should react to that. It's short, but it hits you like Inside all at once.
i agree, i think are you happy should be a required veiwing after this. it’s the cherry on top of a delightful mental collapse 🤍🥰
@@KateSylvesterMusic Couldn't have put it better if I'd tried. You're absolutely right. It is a moral imperative if you want to truly shatter yourself.
You honestly are one of the best people to watch for reaction videos. Thank you for being so authentic.
The burrito is a metaphor for all the ‘stuff’ in his life, and while he wants all these ‘ingredients,’ he can’t have it all, they won’t fit, and so it spills out and is a ‘messy burrito’; just like with the pringles, he can’t just grab the chips, they are out of his control and come spilling out
I think he is also saying how he thought he could handle it all but now he regrets it. He wouldn’t have wanted half of it if he knew he couldn’t handle it. He is the messy burrito that he thinks no one wants.
He said in an interview that this wasn’t the case. He found it funny that people think he puts so much thoughts in his jokes while some of them are just jokes. So the burrito thing was just there for comedic relief so he could give room for the more serious topic in the bridge.
Congrats on the 100k!
On top of Bo’s new special being as fantastic as his previous work, I’m super pumped I found a great new reaction channel to follow as well! Been “binging” your videos the last couple days lol
Just subscribed earlier today - glad to have found your channel thanks to these awesome songs! Plus, what an incredible voice you have! 🎶
LOVED this reaction vid. I’ve shared this video with friends and fam but felt like they didn’t fully understand or relate to it like you did which i 100% agree with. Love your perspective on this and your song sounds like a hit👍✌️ and subbed🤘
A beautiful reaction. Genuinely. You should continue down his work it’s honestly a rabbit hole. I’d recommend sooner or later watching make happy and inside in full. The specials have interludes and intros and such that explain the specials effect on Bo’s mind and I think you’d definitely appreciate it.
I recommended this Video via Live stream and i think on two other reaction on yours and you finally did it.I loved every bit of it! I have to say you are the best when it comes to Bo Burnhams work since you really get him and the deeper meaning behind his Songs!
You got some awesome breakdowns/reactions on your channel.
Keep it up!
So close to 100,000 subs! Keep going! Your awesome!
I feel like he's saying "I hope you're happy about what you did to me..."
Great video, absolutely awesome reaction and breakdown of your interpretation of his performance. Glad I came across this tonight!
154k now my G! congrats man. Your songs are awsome too! thank you :)
Dude, this song is really deep. He’s having a panic attack, and he’s describing it and talking to himself and talking to his fans. “I don’t think that I can handle this right now” talking to them “but they don’t even know that half of it right..” to himself. Also, the whole Pringle can thing, a huge huge metaphor. Saying he bottled all his problems and sadness and anxiety and what not inside, and eventually, sometimes it spills and he has an anxiety/panic attack and he cries, or gets angry, or gets sad, it’s really really sad. Same with the burrito, all the “ingredients” (his problems) spilling out. Also, if you didn’t notice this then like dude, it’s kinda obvious; The screams at the end had so so much emotion in them, but that’s not what I’m trying to say if you didn’t notice this you’re dumb, but also, if you didn’t notice that, then bruh :/ I’m talking about how his eyes look very watery at the end, like he’s about to cry, in which he does, he weeps for like an hour after the show. Also, the “I hope you’re happy” at the end of the show, pretty much has two meanings. 1: ya know just the basic “I hope you’re happy” he means it, hopes that he made them happy. 2. “I hope you’re happy” like, I hope you’re happy, but look what you did to me... and look how much you care. They literally started cheering after he said that his problem is them, and pretty much saying, hey, I can’t handle this, I’m really anxious and stressed and scared and unhappy, and all you guys do is laugh. (What I mean by they cheered after he said that, is that they cheered as soon as he went back to the burrito thing. They didn’t care about what he said and what he was going through, I don’t remember the exact line but it’s something like, “you can make them laugh, if you make it funny make it rhyme... and if they don’t understand it, then you run it one more time.” It’s really really sad. -Some depressed 11 yr old lamo
If you listen again to the last few lines, he went from earlier saying "I don't think that I can handle this right now" to "I'll handle THIS, handle this RIGHT, handle this right NOW"....and then abruptly leaves after the hope you're happy statement.
If you haven't watched it, look up his discussion on Green Room 2.01 with Paul Provenza.
One of the best reactors out there, love how into the videos and message you get, don’t just simply nod your head etc. Keep it up bro! X
When it hit you, it hits everyone, i cry every damn time 😔 Bo is a genius!
Art is dead, From God's perspective, Left brain Right brain and especially We think we know you should be on your watch list next, or maybe even full specials😊 love your reactions!
For those of you who didn’t get the pringles, daughter and burrito reference…the Pringles can represents happiness and not being able to reach it and when trying to cheat and turn it over just makes a mess of things and how others think they can but he knows they can’t ( him reaching up asking pringles was him asking god), having a daughter represents having a child that he can live vicariously through to reach that happiness, burrito represents him/his sanity and the choices he has made in life in his career…that’s why he says he wouldnt of got half the stuff if he knew how his life would become a mess. everything he says has a double meaning!
What about the gym
@@hydrel5318 the gym part is probably his belief of what people think of him as this weird kid in class who is just a class clown but too afraid to admit that the only way is to ignore them but the thing is he was in his 20s when he made this. every teen/young adult is super conscious about what people think of him and is ashamed of what he might be for people.
Not really, no, it's just a joke, you can hear him talking about that skit on many interviews, just jokes
@@juliendelzett9926 true they are jokes but he doesn’t really mean that….if you go throughout his entire career and his jokes you’ll see almost everything he says has another meaning. He wants his comedy to be subjective so even though it’s a joke he’s relating it to the entirety of his message and how it relates to him.
@@thespotinthelight5367 I completely agree on this! And we love him because of that, it's just that in this particular finale he laughed many times about how people wanted to squeeze a deeper meaning about how you can't reach Pringles and stuffed burritos 🌯
Hey man, I found you because I'm obsessed with Bo, but I just wanted to say I love your takes on his songs. Sub well earned
super stocked cause i ask you 3 days ago to do a reaction to this video ansd here we go. Thx man, really enjoying your reactions, keep going !
I love how he baits you twice and then hits you hard with what is going on inside his head with an emotional gut punch .....
Also, this song and the autotuned lyrics gave me chills MULTIPLE times because it just sounds so good.
Also a lot of people believe the burrito is a reference to him becoming famous as a kid. He is the tortilla and all these things have been pushed at him for him to do and now he is ripping because he is just so overwhelmed. Also the screams at the end are so visceral and seem so real ... Like he is pouring his heart out and is just done... Which makes sense because after doing some touring of "Make Happy", he went on the 5 year hiatus.
I would really love to go and see Bo in concert, but there is no way I could sit in the front row and let him see me melt into wracking sobs. I know there are A LOT of people who may not understand why, but once you connect to the underlying message in his lyrics...the veil is gone, and you are raw. I am an empath, and seeing him this broken makes my soul cry out...and it doesn't help that he really resembles my 14 yr old son (who also struggles with anxiety and depression).
This is honestly the best and truest reaction to this song that I've seen. I feel like it's such a silly song that is easy to overlook his emotional it is. Keep it up!! You are giving me quality Bo Burnham content that is much needed!!! Thanks
God. Okay so I subscribed after recognizing you were a fellow songwriter... but watching you react to this....and feeling all the things. It just means so much to know that other people feel this as deeply as I did back when I watched this for the first time...way before Inside came out... just knowing that this is getting recognition now means so much to me.
The jaw drop at 10:45 is the perfect reaction lmao
I love that you found bo burnham, I'm pretty sure I was here when you were at like 3k subs. Love the growth!
The beat at the end always reminds me of a pounding heart. I deal with anxiety- that sound has been in my ears one too many times.
Congratulations on 100K subs.
Oh man seeing you get into it at the end was so good. That’s how I feel every time haha
If you do "Art is Dead", please watch the Green Room performance. It's even more powerful with comedians in the audience.

Yes! When he modified the lyrics from, “I wanted my name in lights” to “We wanted our names in lights” 👏🏻👏🏻 So powerful
1st time seein' your videos, and immediate sub 💕
Having seen this special more times than I can count, every time you said that you think he's going to shift into really emotional and serious things, all I could do was grin and think to myself "oh, he has *no* idea"
blelelelelup
I honestly clicked on this cuz I’m a big Bo fan and enjoy watching people’s first reaction to his work, but I legit loved this video. Can’t wait to watch more.
Amazing reaction made me feel like it was my first time listening again and brought on the same emotions.
Your reaction video is Great way of gettin that same endorphin hit I got originally.
👍👍
You rock sir. I really enjoyed your reviews.
This song gets me everytime!!! I'm a songwriter/coverartist, I started writing when on a deep time in my life!! After a year or 2 of playing guitar and singing, when I started performing, I started feeling the same way ... I just want to please my fans over me ... so I really get hit in the heart by this song everytime!!
been trying to forget the skinny kid line for 5 years.. fml bro
may be a year late to this video, but that last little bit almost makes me cry every time i hear this song. you can almost feel the emotion in the "i hope you're happy"
I remember going to one of his last shows. So grateful to have seen it in person but you could tell something went way deeper at the end.
I ran into this video accidentally and I wanna say that watching you’re video is so like warm. You look like a really good and kind guy 🙌🏻
Your Bo reactions are the best. I follow a lot of them. Says a lot vaput the kind of human you are. Thank you!
Let’s get to 100k!!! Love your content
pringles = happiness. chipotle = fame/success. Bo's a mastery of metaphor.
Rewatching this, the part where you talk about “give you something I can’t give myself” you’re so insightful bro, not many people allow those feelings in, respect and love. I would totally be your friend
He followed this with a song Are You Happy. Amazing. Worth a listen
not a lot of people know this but every verse had an a lot deeper meaning than people first think. i forget what the Pringle one was about but i know that the burrito was about putting so much on yourself that you basically just start freaking out and not being able to “handle this” bo is an absolute genius
The "song from the perspective of a god" must be next, dude. I think that's the most clever lyrics Bo ever came up with. And his average is already miles above anyone else, lol.
All Eyes on Me is definitely a sequel of sorts to this song. Great reaction, and you have a beautiful singing voice!
Somebody who finally understands and gets what Bo is really trying to get across, great reaction man, new sub from me ❤️ keep it up, road to 100k ❤️
something i realized is that all of the things he said correlated with the word “fit”. his hand not fitting in pringle cans, the fit of his body, the ingredients in the burrito not fitting. someone make a deep analysis on that pls
I LOVE that you caught that "hands up" All Eyes on Me cross over!!! king
This is great, thank you!
Do you have a cover of all eyes on me anywhere I could listen too? I absolutely loved the little part of it you sang in this video and would definitely listen to your cover of the song
Subscribing after this one. Quite a genuine fellow. Obvious that you feel it just as much and effected you the same as it did me.
You got a great voice as well. Take care hombre.
I love the dual meaning of that "Thank you, I hope you're happy". He says it with the perfect mix of "i hope you're happy, I really hope you've enjoyed yourself tonight" and "Fuck you, I hope you're happy".
*pauses* This is when its gonna hit you really hard, (me knowing he’s about to just go “bluhledalouuu” 😂)
