    "...And I can't grow a beard. That was not Ironic, that was just sad."
    Oh Bo, If you could see yourself now

    What's crazy about this song is that it's about irony, being when the exact opposite of what you expect to happen happens, so he spells "Ironic" forward, backward, then forward, emphasizing the theme of opposites.

      @bekorita 7 років тому +44

      RockerZoom hi if you're wondering, PETA stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, it's an organisation that cares about animals and is openly against veal (a meat from baby cows). However the word PETA sounds like the American pronunciation of "pitta" a type of flat bread. It's funny because in the context of eating, "pitta bread" makes sense, but in the context of this song "PETA bread" is an ironic reference to the organisation.

    • @TylerCKelley
      @TylerCKelley 11 років тому +25

      no. Do you think that this show is glorifying or promoting teen pregnancy? Or is it spreading awareness to the struggles faced by individuals who make the decision? I go with the latter and think that the show's aim was to lower teen pregnancy. Therefore, not ironic at all. It was successful.

      I don't think that's the case. Actually the US government did away with two abstinence-only education, Adolescent Family Life and Community Based Abstinence Education, while also funding two evidence based education programs, Personal Responsibility Education Program and Teen Pregnancy Prevention initiative in 2010. Which also happens to be the same time teen mom started airing December 8, 2009. I think that we just started teaching correctly and teen mom airing for the first time led people to make a quick assumption because they didn't have the whole picture.

    One of my favourite way to describe irony is Pavlov’s dog.
    Every time a bell is rung, the dogs mouth starts to drool because it expects a treat, and will run to where it gets fed, that’s simple stuff. BUT, now every time Pavlov hears a bell ring, he will expect to have to give a dog a treat, or for a dog to run up to him.
    I don’t know why it’s my favourite because it’s difficult to explain to people in real life, but the idea of your theory happening not only to the subjects but to you as-well is funny.

    The thing I like about Bo's songs is that in his songs he says stuff that other people could never say in a song, fearing that they may be cancelled for it, and that combined with his amazing singing, song writing, and piano skills, it just makes these hilarious yet somewhat serious songs, talking about serious issues while also turning those issues into a comedy song is something Bo is amazing at, and even his older songs like this one are still really good, and I'm gonna be honest, whenever I hear an old song made by a popular UA-camr I usually don't like it, but somehow Bo Burnham has amazing old songs like this, and many others. I know nothing is perfect, but Bo is 100% an exception.
