    I once saw Bo perform in NJ.
    He just said "Turnpikes" and then threw the book on the ground. Didnt even say they were weird. Just acknowledged they existed.

    Not even the jokes themselves, but hearing him approach the punchline with the same cadence and attitude really reminds me of what he insists in almost all of his work, that he is staging a rehearsed performance and even the parts designed to feel "natural" were created with intent.

    10:15 I love how well this particular variant can be executed in interactive media like video games, just because of how many more small details you can fit into that space and how well you can hint at the reality of the situation throughout the story. It can be as subtle as making all books present after the death dream begins be about death in some way to as obvious as all text being replaced with an endlessly repeating "YOU ARE DEAD YOU ARE DEAD YOU ARE DEAD".

    As someone with major anxiety, I know this is hard to do, when preforming or working you have a script in your head. Most comedy shows have scripts,but with anxiety like just talking is an ordeal, and if you break off the script you get really anxious and scared. I've had break down before. This is very cool of him to dk
