My take on a music video for the song "1985" From INSIDE OUTTAKES (Album), The outtakes from the Bo Burnham special INSIDE on Netflix. Full credit goes to him. • 1985
My dad actually came up to me and was like -- yeah shit I was well off. I could just work a mediocre job, get a car, get a house and STILL have money for going out and doing crazy things. I had a very carefree early adulthood then. And none of my uncles/aunts were highly educated, just decent and crafty people. That was enough then!
And it was the same in the 50's, only instead of just having spare money for yourself, it could keep a household of 5 entertained. Inflation is fucking crazy. It's not enough if you're a boss now to make twice as much as the employees below you, and the 80's was the shifting point.
my grandfather just straight up gave my dad a house when he got married lol not a huge house -but a house... having zero rent is a crazy leg up when you are starting off..
I’m sure you’ve heard this from everyone, but you have definitely captured the energy I feel when I listen to this song. I really enjoyed dancing along for the last chorus. I hope Bo sees this, I think he would love it
It actually took me a full watch through to realize that was you acting, I was mad impressed that you were able to lip-sync 80's footage so well. I suppose this means you achieved your goal with this :D
this is literally gold, the pure 80's white dad essence of this video is overwhelmingly perfect. i dont think anyone could have done it better than this if they weren't bo himself.
This is amazing! Everything I could've wanted out of an 80s parody music video. I've been listening to 1985 on repeat for days, I think you really did the song justice!

This video reminds me a lot of Michael Jackson's clips, it's simply amazing how this is so similar to something from the 80's, my sincere congratulations
Not only is this an amazing video in every possible way but lets all just take a moment and appreciate this dude further doing a quick scroll shows that they have commented on quite a lot of peoples comments thats some dedication
I haven't been bothered to comment yet, but I can confidently say that I was here since the first thousand views and have watched this way too many times. Absolutely loved it, you 100% get a sub
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm not specifically going to keep making content exactly like this but once I'm through some other more personal projects you will definitely see more from me!
This deserves AT LEAST 400k views????? Jesus fuck this is so *good* . Like, can I just say that I damn well appreciate all the time and work you put into this. Because it's _actually perfect_ . God this is a blessing to my eyes holyshit
You know, it's obviously meant to have a VHS feel to it, but I originally was gonna go for a modern and crisp look for the video... That is until I realized how shit my green screening was with no lighting set up and 2 feet between me and the screen... And then I discovered that 1 VHS effect later all those horrid artifacts blended right in to the random noise! None the less, thank you for your kind words :)
I really like that someone made an official video for this song. When I looked it up on the official Bo Burnham channel I was surprised to find that he hadn't. Honestly, it seems to me that your video could imitate a hypothetical official video of the song very well. Overall, very good work, very good video and obviously a very good song. Greetings from Argentina!
Thank you for the kind words! I really appreciate the love i've gotten through this video, and I hope it brought some joy to your day, as your comment managed to do for me!
Enough! I love the song, it's just that it's so catchy that even though time goes by it keeps ringing in my mind, and not to mention the video, there's so much left that both make a perfect combination.
I'd somehow forgotten about the dancing that foreshadowed Nordictracking. Well done. Also, I feel like I hung out with your dad smoking before second bell in high school.
@@panathentic Yup, have watched the rest of your videos and they are just as great. Especially "Look Who's Inside Again (Extended Version)" because of the on point visuals. Looking forward to your future content, you've got yourself another fan.
I'm glad this popped up in my recommendations!! Bo may believe that art is dead, but this is art being inspired by art! This was the most 80s energy white guy video! Great work!
Banger video man, saw the behind the scenes too, and you’re right, we’ll pretty much watch anything, this is UA-cam after all. Given that early UA-cam was literally people throwing rocks off cliffs into large holes and got tens of millions of views.. yeah. I also saw that you’ve “loved” every single comment on this video to date, good job with that. :)
This is for sure one of my favorite things ever, it's going in my comfort playlist asap ♡♡♡ Anyways, side note, instead of saying what literally everyone else already has that I completely agree with, I'll just shorten it to this; I cannot WAIT to see what you make next! The few other videos on your channel are wonderful too, so I'm really looking forward to where you go next! Awesome stuff ^^
Thank you, for putting thought into this comment. It means more then then most of them. I'm glad you're enjoying my work! I have another channel, that's supposed to be my "Main" But after this I'm not sure. We'll see which one has more subscribers in a week I guess! ua-cam.com/users/SuperOrangeMan23
@@panathentic oh that's so cool! I'll be following both of them closely for sure, no matter what you decide to do with 'em :)) Keep being awesome! You're literally so cool 🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐
Thank you for supporting me with your time! I'm glad this has brought you so much joy! Don't forget to give Bo the minutes he deserves on his original music video too.
Me and my 4 year old daughter dance to this music video daily. She loves it. Thanks again for a great video!
Well then I'm sure you're bringing your daughter up right! Continue to enjoy! I hope you dance together for a long long time 😀!

My UA-cam immediately crashed the second that the song ended, and frankly, I think it enhanced my experience
The 80's isn't for the faint of RAM...

DANCE PARTY!!!
This needs more views
The world needs to see this.
Bo Burnham needs to see this.
I need to see it again.
Thank you for making this.
Neat trick! If you pull it up on your PC AND your phone, you can have twice the cheesy dad dancing!
@@panathentic this is literally my favourite song!

As someone who was born to a cool dad in 1985, I approve of this song.

this was so accurate, like i feel like im watching an ad from 1985- except unreasonably funny.
Thank you so much!

We love match cuts here!
I love this- bo Burnham vibes achieved!!!
If you ever got the chance to meet him, You'd know why I want to be him!
I realized it so late that it isn't actually from 80's. Amazing!
Song by Bo Burnham :)

The overwhelming swagger contained in this video…
Bucket loads
This is perfect, the editing and style is so good, I was shocked to see it only 500 views, needs thousands
Share it around! I'm glad you liked it!
Got a bit more since x)
this is genuinely one of the most creative unofficial music videos I've seen on this website, great job !!

[Lyrics]
He's a really cool guy
He's got a cool shirt
He's got cool shoes
Did I mention the shirt?
If you ever got the chance to meet him
You'd know why I want to be him
He walks into a room and everyone respects him (everyone respects him)
He reads the news and doesn't let that shit affect him (doesn't let that shit affect him)
He's really happy, he's thrilled to be alive
His name is any white guy in 1985
White guy, 1985 (1985)
White guy, 1985 (1985)
White guy, 1985 (1985)
White guy, 1985 (1985)
He's got a job and a family, how does he do it?
Balances work with his wife's underwhelming cooking
He's got all the answers that I wanna know
How can I be what I am but 40 years ago, gee-whiz
He got in any bar
So, I am the thing he is
But he isn't when I walk
I guess it's true that some people really got to fight to survive
And some people are white guys in 1985
White guy, 1985 (1985)
White guy, 1985 (1985)
White guy, 1985 (1985)
White guy, 1985 (1985)
Wait
It wasn't easy being any white guy in 1985
Some white guys were living through the AIDS crisis
Some white guys were Italian
And I'm not saying it's hard being a white guy now
I've misspoke
I don't mean to lump a group of people in a hive
I think I just meant my dad in 1985
My dad, 1985 (My dad)
My father, 1985 (Papa)
My dad, 1985
Scott Burnham, 1985 (Scott)
I wanna be my dad Scott)
I wanna be my dad in the 80s (Scott)
My oblivious white dad in the mid-80s (Scott)
My dad was an oblivious white guy (General contractor)
My father was happier than I am
If I could be anybody dead or alive
I would want to be my dad in 1985
That's that!
This looks official, nice job man👍👍👍
has an addictive vibe
