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.
Listen to his other songs, particularly "Words, Words, Words" and "Repeat Stuff". Also, watch his special "what." on youtube and "Make Happy" on Netflix
wasn't it had a beard? spoilers i guess if you haven't watched inside but at the end he comes in with his hair cut and his beard off, unless that was preplanned at the start
@@nienel he didn’t shave it that was the first time he sang it at the beginning of the pandemic, you can tell because there have been tons of photos of him since Inside and the outtakes and he still has the beard, he still had it at the emmys at least from what I’ve seen
the biggest misuse of irony comes from people mistaking coincidental for irony. Rain on a wedding day is not ironic, but unexpected rain on a weather forecasters wedding day would be.
Ever notice how he put something sad in the ironic song and put something ironic in the sad song? In the sad song he said “homeless man named rich” In this one he said “I can’t grow a beard”
@@Aux-BlueBerry What do you mean they didn’t believe you? If you just showed them the line from Sad and the line from Ironic, why wouldn’t they believe you…

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.
+Ninjabob21 the zodiac has specific symbols to supposably tell you what's gonna happen in the future, and cancer has the symbol of a giant crab so there's that on explained. The Peta joke is about a corporation named Peta that protects animals.
No, not at all. If he's racing cars all the time that would actually be an obvious way for him to die and therefore it would be about the least ironic way he could have died.
jhalls17 He races cars in movies and survives, but he's riding passenger in an actual car and dies. It's ironic ("incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result")
"and i can't grow a beard, that one's not ironic, that one's just sad" MEANWHILE IN SAD "i saw a medic accidentally kill his patient, that one's not sad, that one's just ironic"
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.
That's it! Laughter is the key to everything! It's the solution to all the sadness in the world! The world's not sad! The world's funny! I'm a sociopaaath!
I love how sad and ironic are polar opposites of each other Sad talks about ironic things and is sad about it Ironic talks about sad things and finds them funny
and the ones that misread other peoples comments, even though "funny comment thread but aren't furry" doesn't make that much sense and the ones who make too long of a comment ruining the joke
I memorized this entire song after one listen but no matter how hard I tried, for about six months, I couldn’t sing the I-R-O-N-I-C-I-N-O-R-I-R-O-N-I-C to save my life. Now I can sing the entire thing from memory.

I used to watch Friends over and over as a teenager and by the the time I left school I had no actual friends. Isn't that ironic? (and a little bit sad...)
The first grandma joke was funny to me, because the german word for "cancer" means "krebs, and the german word for Crab, also means "Krebs". So she had cancer and got killed by a giant cancer
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.
If there any AH fans here doesn't this laugh sound like Ray's? 2:55 He's also the first one to laugh and Ray comes up with jokes pretty quickly. Maybe I just like AH too much and I'm just hearing things but idk
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.
I feel rather slow. After hearing this song so many times, I only just understood the "got my girlfriend pregnant on my sterile uncles *pull-out* couch". Damnitall, how did I miss the pulling out bit?
-A crab is the sign of Cancer in the Zodiac. -Taking a dog to the vet and killing a cat on the way should be self explanatory. -Child Labor Factories where they build stuff, taking the kid to BUILD A BEAR. Where he builds something. -The Clown one I don't get either, but it makes me laugh. -Al Gore talks about Global Warming and how it's detrimental to the Polar Bear. -Pita is a kind of bread, PETA is an animal rights group. It's a play on words. -Suffocation on a game piece from Operation should be self explanatory. -Bob Barker used to say "Have your pets spayed or neutered" at the end of every episode of The Price is Right. -Alzheimer's is a short term memory loss disorder.
When you mention this song in ELA and the only line you could think of to give the class an idea of what the songs about was “A little kid died from suffocation when he choked on a game piece from Operation.” ...
"...And I can't grow a beard. That was not Ironic, that was just sad."
Oh Bo, If you could see yourself now

He probably planned it
if you listen carefully at 2:59 you can hear someone say "That's stupid."
Ally Sparks you can!!!
He didn’t sound like he was angry though is was more of a chuckle
Ally Sparks he sound stupid 😂😂
pretty sure he was saying "thats too good"

He planned for it to be ironic...
Slow burn... ham.

Yeah this is true it took a pandemic though

That one's not ironic, that one's just sad
Bob Barker got all of my pets pregnant
My grandfather had Alzheimer's
And one day we were
fafafagat its a lyric video...
Tom Riddle yes but this is the corrected lyrics well at least without some of the misspellings and all
Tom Riddle
Sometimes I like looking down at the comments.
Tom Riddle I THOUGHT HARRY KILLED YOU
fafafagat oh wow
The guy who laughs saying "that's stupid" after Bo finishes with the Alzheimer's line lives in my head rent free
I used to watch Friends over and over as a teenager and by the the time I left school I had no actual friends. Isn't that ironic? (and a little bit sad...)
The biggest irony is that iconic beard he's sporting now
Hi. I have Alzheimers.
I think Bo Burnham is
Good thing you remembered to hit the post button.
hoppyman11 ha!
g man
I think your opinion is very
You guys are so
The first grandma joke was funny to me, because the german word for "cancer" means "krebs, and the german word for Crab, also means "Krebs". So she had cancer and got killed by a giant cancer
Yeah. Or, because Cancer is a giant crab. That works too.
Ohhhhh, that's clever!
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.
If there any AH fans here doesn't this laugh sound like Ray's? 2:55
He's also the first one to laugh and Ray comes up with jokes pretty quickly. Maybe I just like AH too much and I'm just hearing things but idk
+CtrlAltDel i think you're just hearing things bro
mexrell Yeah probably
+CtrlAltDel I see where you're coming from.
no I agree with you
It's probably not Ray, but interesting thought. Go Achievement Hunter and go Bo Burnham!
His new special "inside" proofs that he can definitely grow a beard
I Needed this. Thank you.
Bo in 2012: I can't grow a beard... It's not ironic, it's just sad
Bo in 2021: *has a beard*
Me: now isn't that ironic 🎶
I-R-O-N-I-C-I-N-O-R-I-R-O-N-I-C!!!!!!!
i like how after he says "isn't that ironic" for the first time, he makes a little sound that i can't quite make out, i love it.
"... And I can't grow a beard"
Me: "Well, isn't that ironic"
ts funny how ironic the "and I can grow a beard" line is
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.
02:29 well upon seeing the teaser for his new special that line didn’t age well
That beard part aged well...
isn't that ironic?
"And I can't grow a beard. That's not ironic. That one's just sad."
beautiful....just beautiful.
I can just see Dave and Dirk singing this
2ame
No one has done a tribute to them with this song and it makes me sad
Fuck you
Keep the clowns the away....please......don't....
I love that rare and magic moment when i discover "new" Bo's songs
I feel rather slow.
After hearing this song so many times, I only just understood the "got my girlfriend pregnant on my sterile uncles *pull-out* couch".
Damnitall, how did I miss the pulling out bit?
-A crab is the sign of Cancer in the Zodiac.
-Taking a dog to the vet and killing a cat on the way should be self explanatory.
-Child Labor Factories where they build stuff, taking the kid to BUILD A BEAR. Where he builds something.
-The Clown one I don't get either, but it makes me laugh.
-Al Gore talks about Global Warming and how it's detrimental to the Polar Bear.
-Pita is a kind of bread, PETA is an animal rights group. It's a play on words.
-Suffocation on a game piece from Operation should be self explanatory.
-Bob Barker used to say "Have your pets spayed or neutered" at the end of every episode of The Price is Right.
-Alzheimer's is a short term memory loss disorder.
I know, it's just the pullout one I missed. The other ones are pretty obvious though
Same
2:28 "And I can't grow a beard..."
*Welcome To The Internet starts playing in the distance.*
I like how it took a second for the crowd to realize the cancer giant crab joke
The funniest thing about that last part is Bo has a perfect memory.
So it seems like he *could* grow a beard.
When you mention this song in ELA and the only line you could think of to give the class an idea of what the songs about was “A little kid died from suffocation when he choked on a game piece from Operation.” ...
He has a beard now!!!
that’s ironic

Rouge Narwhal
