Bo was sobbing and shaking back stage after this. He was having severe panic attacks on stage during this tour, and it ended here with this performance. He really said "I hope you're happy" and left performance for 5 years. It moves me to a profound degree, the art Bo makes with his pain.

Gives me goosebumps every time.. even after 50+ watches. I can relate sooooo much. First time and one of the last times I ever went on stage. Only for a couple hundred people .. I immediately puked before... The lead up to the anxiety attacks is almost worse. Not knowing how intense it'll be... Ughhh...
One of my favorite thing about Bo Burnham's live performances is his command of light. up until 1:58 all the house lights are on, and he's addressing everyone, then it's a spotlight on him, and you can't see the crowd 3:19 , addressing the crowd again, bathes them in light, then back to his spotlight 6:52 , all the spotlights focus on his head , and those get hot. The pressure is too much, people always focusing on you 7:53 , pitch black, back to a single light , internal narration 10:09 "just shut up and do my job" the light is on his back, and his face is in the dark. They don't care about me as a person, they just want the product 10:31 party/rave lights "you can tell them anything just make it funny" again, they don't care about who i am, but they came to be happy, so I'm going to do that for them. Just a phenomenal stage performer and lyricist.
7:53 I get that as well but I prefer to see this as bo letting Robert out (Robert is his real name and bo is his stage name for people who don't know) and when he says I should just shut up and do my job you just see his shadow because bo is back to finish
"If they still don't understand you, then you run it one more time." this is the kind of line you say when you're about to go back into the Chorus of a song.... which before this point appeared to be the bit about the burrito except what he actually sings is "I don't think that I can handle this right now."
I think the Pringles & Burrito rants are symbolizing his life. Pringles = Knows what he wants out of life but can’t have (or grasp) it. Burrito = His life as a celebrity in the spotlight. Maybe he would’ve done things differently had he known what it REALLY took to be a celebrity. Even his comedy is a symbolism of his life. I urge you to go back and watch his first 2 Netflix specials armed with knowing about his mental health. He’s a musical & sarcastic genius with his comedy. Using both of these funny rants (handling Pringles & Burritos) to share his message about handling fame. Glad he had the strength to share ALL of this with the world and bring a spotlight to mental health with his powerful “Inside” special. God Bless
I’ve heard the Pringle’s can thing could also be symbolic of only wanting a little bit (reaching in for one or two) but getting too much at once (the crumbs spilling on his face)
Hes done interviews before and have been asked about this part. He has straight up said it has nothing to do with any of that and that he just thought itd be funny and that he doesnt even get burritos at Chipotle he gets the bowls lmfao
I saw Pringles can as to small and him mentioning needing a daughter as an extension of self, she may be able do things he cannot and access places maybe he couldn’t. The Burrito I interpreted as the excess of Kanye’s life and a kind of uncontrollable aspect of celebrity. It also reminded me of when people are psychotic or manic and they fixate and complain about something tangible and banal in their immediate environment and what is behind is something more profoundly uncommunicable that they are not able to put into words. Watching Inside made me cry.
After the confession in the song I realized the "I wouldn't have gotten the lettuce if I knew it wouldn't fit" was symbolism for him realizing he put too much on his plate and he couldn't deal with the stress of it all.
Lol I'm loving seeing people on YT react to Bo for the first time. I first heard of him way back in 2007 when my older brother showed me one of his first UA-cam videos. Been on the bandwagon ever since; he's one of my favorites.
I saw his comedy central special. He got better and better each project. Also... You Made it Weird with Pete Holmes... Bo Burnham has been on like 3 times. Amazing podcasts that helped me though a tuff time in my life
Watching this is surreal for me having had severe panic attacks. He's killing a performance with all the tingly numbness in his body and thoughts racing like crazy dumbfounds me
I am one of those people you describe that has known about Bo for about 10 years or so. Seeing him blowing up right now and watching these reaction videos is truly special. I can enjoy it all over again, as if is the first time.
I'm in the same boat. It's been amazing to watch the non Bo crowd really latch on to him and it's largely been the groups outside of Bo's normal demographics watching him. I still want to see a reaction video to Klan Kookout from Big Holla. I'm not sure it would go well, but it would be interesting.
So happy to see you appreciate what an intelligent, multi skilled, good person Bo Burnham is. His specials helped me through so many tough times. Honestly it makes me feel like I'm not alone.
As a fan of reaction videos, may I humbly give you a lil constructive criticism; After you pause a the vid and give your opinion, don't play where you paused, rewind it a bit and play, so you wont miss anything. It makes a significant difference, especialy if an artist is very nuanced such as Bo is. TY. love your reactions brotha! keep going
It hits me so hard everytime since I learned that he was having a panic attack during this song and "I hope you're happy" was the last thing he told the world before his mental health hiatus
I’ve always felt that the burrito was a metaphor for the life he’s living saying “If I knew what I was getting into and all the shit that comes with this gig I probably wouldn’t have done it”
I've been a fan of Bo's since his very first songs in his bedroom on YT and honestly it's been such a wild jouney watching what he's evolved into as an artist. I feel so bad for him knowing how much he struggles, but I'm also glad that he's been able to express himself and create such amazing art.
can i just say you’re one FEW reactors who connected everything. bo is so incredibly talented and so intelligent and you picked up on the very subtle things bo was trying to explain
I think the reason that this Song/skit/bit is popular is because it feels like a bit laced with this man’s soul. It feels so genuine. Like, he made it funny but also spoke out loud his deepest fears/thoughts in the same comedy routine…. Also made it into a song I’ve listened to countless times. Genius.
And laugh as he attempts to give you what he cannot give himself..... Gives me goosebumps every time.. even after 50+ watches. I can relate sooooo much. First time and one of the last times I ever went on stage. Only for a couple hundred people .. I immediately puked before... The lead up to the anxiety attacks is almost worse. Not knowing how intense it'll be... Ughhh...
I have small panic attacks at random points throughout my days. I have to go to my office and decompress when I'm at work. Shortness of breath. Fight or flight instincts acting in every way possible. The way he is able to perform in the middle of one is impressive.
I discovered no burnham in 08 on his first special (Comedy Central half hour) he just graduated highschool. Watching you experience one of my biggest idols for the first time makes me feel just as good aswhen I heard him as a middle schooler
A multi-part reaction to the entirety of Make Happy would be awesome. Or any of his specials. Mostly because some of the most entertaining parts come from segues between songs that you dont get to see in the uploaded videos!
The first time I saw this, I got to the end of the video, and just needed a break. The whole world just needed to shut the hell up so I could process. The man's incredible.
If you wanna go through a bo burnham experience, I'd say start with his songs 'I'm bo yo' 'Bo fo sho' 'New Math' 'Rehab Center for fictional characters' ' Klan cookout' (yes, that is the name of the song.....) 'My Better Half' 'the perfect woman' ' my whole family' then go one his 'Words Words Words' special, then the 'What' special, then 'Make Happy' and finally 'Inside' Everything before Words Words Words was filmed in his bedroom when he was a teenager, before he went big
Bro you're so fucking fun to watch. Thank you for being so genuine and smat and funny and just chill. HARD subscribe and I'm bout to do a deep dive on your other videos. Mad props.
He did all of this WHILE having a panic attack. People that went to that show say they had to wait about an hour to meet him back stage cause he had to use oxygen to help him calm down. Hes said before in the past that while hes having panic attacks on stage that he just get tunnel vision and his whole body feels numb and he just kinda goes with the motion of it all. The fact that he's STILL able to do shows WHILE having severe panic attacks blows my mind!
I’ve seen this special and this performance, his “what.” special and his “Inside” Netflix special, several times each, and he has already staked his claim as one of the all time greatest comedians. The comedy itself is really funny, but his direction, music, production, etc. coupled with his ability to have multiple layers of introspection and self-awareness throughout all of it is second to none.
First off, New to the channel, loved this reaction so much Second, someone pointed out to me that the Pringles can is a metaphor for his own happiness. He struggles with depression and anxiety, and can't get a consistent supply of being happy, like the inability to fit his hand in a Pringles can/he gets overloaded with seemingly surprising amounts of praise and recognition like the crumbs spilling on his face. Also with the part of having a daughter to help him reach his "happiness" because that's a societal norm to make people happy. Third, the burrito part is an analogy for having his life together, where he grew up as a viral youtuber, life escalating very quickly, no-one was around to could help him understand how to keep everything together, and everything is "spilling" creating anxiety Every time I see his Kanye rant, that's all I can think about now... And the yelling at the end... this was the last song of the last show of his tour right before his 5 yr break. You can tell he loves his fans but is so ready to be done with all this for mental health reasons with the way he says "thank you, good night, I hope your happy" anyway, just my thoughts, thanks for letting me say my Shit lol
This part of Make Happy always makes me super emotional, and seeing your reaction to it made me so happy and excited for you! I love your enthusiasm and I'm so glad you love his content.
I still hold my breath during the end of this performance. I feel his pain so deeply every time I watch this. Yes, he is fantastically talented but he shares such intense pain.
Dude is a MASTER at misdirection. He always has a sort of pattern or theme within his schemes that seemingly reinforces itself enough that it makes you think you know exactly where he's going and bam, expectations subverted. fucking bait and switch.
I just found out about Bo Burnham myself and also your channel. Great reaction to Bo Burnham..I found out about when another reactor i like happened to be doing a first time reaction to "Repeat Stuff" so that was my introduction to Bo Burnham that was about 4 to 6 weeks ago
The thing is there's so much symbolism in this starting from the Chipotle bit. Like imagine going through life and piling things on until it over flows without anyone warning you before hand. I always like that idea.
Ive always seen the Pringles can as his happiness that he is always reaching for but cant get himself. And he wants a daughter, because then she can reach into his can of happiness and bring it to him since he can't get the happiness himself.
The end when he says “Thank you, Good night. I hope you’re happy.” He’s not actually hoping they’re genuinely happy in life. He’s basically saying ‘Thanks for proving me right. I hope you’re happy with yourselves. You’re killing me.’
To me it seems more like it references the statement that his comedy is an attempts to give the audience what he can't give himself. By saying "I hope you're happy" he's hoping that we're happy, because he wasn't.
The "Goodnight, I hope you're happy" was in fact intended to be a "fuck you" to the audience, but at the final performance he was told to soften it, dial it back. Thus, the end result of the Netflix special MAKE HAPPY
You should do a review or a reflection video of the specials after your watch em. Also his other special called “What” is on UA-cam. He bought it from Comedy Central and uploaded the entire thing so people could see it for free. His very first special is harder to find though
You should totally react to the whole Inside special if you can. Not only because I'd love to watch it, but also because not many people are doing it so far (for some reason), and tons of people are really looking for the whole special reaction. ;)
Yes watch them in entirety. He’s extremely calculated. Also idk if people just aren’t mentioning it. He’s not just ranting on random burrito struggles. He’s pointing out that some of these issues are self inflicted. And we blame instead of being self aware. Brilliant
That’s a great observation I haven’t seen another reactor say yet. Thematically this song and all eyes on me are very similar. All eyes on me is almost like the evolution or sequel of can’t handle this
there are 2 great comedy based singers who touch on real issues that we all need to praise as gods for showing us the truth about the world in a fun way: -Little Dicky -Bo Burnham They are the singers we need, but not the ones we deserve.
I've been a fan of Bo since seeing him premiere doing stand up on Comedy Central when he was 17. He's always been this level of genius and funny and talent.
New to your channel and love that you are becoming a fan of Bo. I first saw him at the Edinburgh fringe in 2010 and I've been hooked by his genius ever since.🤣 Total legend ❤️
Worst and best part or this one, is that it's the end of his show. And when he talked about how this went down, he walked backstage and had a massive panic attack after this. fking brutal.
The end of this song marks the beginning of Bo's 5 year hiatus offstage that sets up his special Inside. I love Bo, and I think it's hard to find a more authentic comic in the world. This man is an artist, and his art reflects where his is personally SO WELL.
This was his last performance before all eyes on me... he knew he needed to back away to better himself mentally. You said he is intelligent... you are correct.
The first time I watched Make Happy, I was on mushrooms. I felt so deeply and hard for what he was saying and what I thought he was going through that I literally cried. The next time I watched it, I was 100% sober... I felt the same. Very similar response to "Inside". Burnham is a genius and with that, you know there's pain.
Its even more deep and sad to think about how this was his very last thing he did on stage, while having a panic attack. Before not doing anything for 5 years. Then coming back with Inside. This performance was his last one before 2020 when he did that entire special alone in his house.
Where you said “not many comedy makes you laugh because you need the intelligence behind it” I so feel you, I don’t find a lot of modern day comedians funny. Bo Burnham was always my favorite comedian because even though he plays funny and sings silly songs he is most likely the smartest guy in the room. Half his stuff blows over peoples heads. He does so many words plays and so many skits that unless your intelligent you really won’t understand any of it!

"I need intelligent comedy to make me laugh"
Bo Burnham: "blelele"
Lmao
Talk about the wrong timing!
That's what confuses me about my sense of humor, like it's either gotta be Bo Burnham level or a piece of bread falling over, nothing in between.
I didn’t know how to spell that. Thanks haha.
exactly !
His yelling during the finale are even more distressing when you realise he was having severe panic attacks during this time
yuuuuuppppp - I think it goes even deeper than that right? The screams sound real, they sound genuine - but they also fit so well aurally, they are obvious *part of the script*

I thought “sexting” was a better sounding song off inside
I still hold my breath during the end of this performance. I feel his pain so deeply every time I watch this. Yes, he is fantastically talented but he shares such intense pain.
Dude is a MASTER at misdirection. He always has a sort of pattern or theme within his schemes that seemingly reinforces itself enough that it makes you think you know exactly where he's going and bam, expectations subverted. fucking bait and switch.
I just found out about Bo Burnham myself and also your channel. Great reaction to Bo Burnham..I found out about when another reactor i like happened to be doing a first time reaction to "Repeat Stuff" so that was my introduction to Bo Burnham that was about 4 to 6 weeks ago
The thing is there's so much symbolism in this starting from the Chipotle bit. Like imagine going through life and piling things on until it over flows without anyone warning you before hand. I always like that idea.
Ive always seen the Pringles can as his happiness that he is always reaching for but cant get himself. And he wants a daughter, because then she can reach into his can of happiness and bring it to him since he can't get the happiness himself.
Words words words or Oh No. Or "are you happy" which follows this song after the special
You should watch ‘Art is Dead’ :). It’s amazingly written and he was only 19 while it was being performed.
The end when he says “Thank you, Good night. I hope you’re happy.”
He’s not actually hoping they’re genuinely happy in life. He’s basically saying ‘Thanks for proving me right. I hope you’re happy with yourselves. You’re killing me.’
I think it's a bit of both
Ok but I think "I hope you're happeh" is alluding to the "Thanks alot Rachel, you idiot" meme.
*"I hope you're happeh, because I've told Mum."*
To me it seems more like it references the statement that his comedy is an attempts to give the audience what he can't give himself. By saying "I hope you're happy" he's hoping that we're happy, because he wasn't.
It's a bit of both but I'm glad someone other than me finally gets it, cuz most people are too stupid to understand what he really means
To watch the specials in order: Words Words Words (no longer on Netflix but you can buy on UA-cam), What., Make Happy, then Inside.
Seriously though, it's unreal how much catharsis the end of this song still makes me feel
I love that you appreciated his depth and that this was the before his break for healing.
The stuff that won't fit in the burrito is a metaphor for him taking on more than he could handle in his life
The "Goodnight, I hope you're happy" was in fact intended to be a "fuck you" to the audience, but at the final performance he was told to soften it, dial it back. Thus, the end result of the Netflix special MAKE HAPPY
You should do a review or a reflection video of the specials after your watch em. Also his other special called “What” is on UA-cam. He bought it from Comedy Central and uploaded the entire thing so people could see it for free. His very first special is harder to find though
this reaction was amazing 🤣💗 thank you!
He gave everyone a warning about his anxiety problems in this song
"How the World Works" from Inside is pretty good. Not sure if the video is up yet, but the audio is.
You should totally react to the whole Inside special if you can. Not only because I'd love to watch it, but also because not many people are doing it so far (for some reason), and tons of people are really looking for the whole special reaction. ;)
"Ladies, ya nasty." I'm dead. Lol.
Yes watch them in entirety. He’s extremely calculated. Also idk if people just aren’t mentioning it. He’s not just ranting on random burrito struggles. He’s pointing out that some of these issues are self inflicted. And we blame instead of being self aware. Brilliant
After this is best choice "are you happy"
In chronological order. What, Make Happy, Inside
Parts of the specials that don't get uploaded... Lol like in Make Happy when Bo tricks the crowd into saying the n-word? 😂😂 Fn hilarious!
Yeah dude is dope. Might check out the specials
That’s a great observation I haven’t seen another reactor say yet. Thematically this song and all eyes on me are very similar. All eyes on me is almost like the evolution or sequel of can’t handle this
First CD I ever bought was Bo’s first album. Been in love with him for years!
there are 2 great comedy based singers who touch on real issues that we all need to praise as gods for showing us the truth about the world in a fun way:
-Little Dicky
-Bo Burnham
They are the singers we need, but not the ones we deserve.
Do so many more bo, loving this journey
Can't forget about Bo Burnham's special called "What." I believe it's also on Netflix.
I've been a fan of Bo since seeing him premiere doing stand up on Comedy Central when he was 17. He's always been this level of genius and funny and talent.
Does anyone feel like the Pringles and the burrito thing is about “fitting in”? Or am I just over analyzing
New to your channel and love that you are becoming a fan of Bo. I first saw him at the Edinburgh fringe in 2010 and I've been hooked by his genius ever since.🤣 Total legend ❤️
other specials include "What" and "Words Words Words". also, some of the early youtube stuff that got him started include "New Math" and "I'm Bo Yo"
Worst and best part or this one, is that it's the end of his show. And when he talked about how this went down, he walked backstage and had a massive panic attack after this. fking brutal.
Bro, loving your energy 🤩
I get the line that everyone references the most but honestly.. that mic drop is what gets me every time. 😞
The part to the audience is soul wrenching
Bo had a breakdown after this show. Cried for 2 hours. And stopped performing for 5 years. Panic attacks. The last scream was his panic.
"laugh as he attempts to give you what he cannot give himself" You missed what is by far the most impactful line of the whole song
The end of this song marks the beginning of Bo's 5 year hiatus offstage that sets up his special Inside. I love Bo, and I think it's hard to find a more authentic comic in the world. This man is an artist, and his art reflects where his is personally SO WELL.
you gotta do How The World Works, the way he delivers the message is mind blowing!!
Both Kanye and Bo are geniuses. Incredible performance.
This whole thing is brilliant. Brutal but brilliant.
I wouldn't have got the lettuce if I knew it wouldn't fit.
Understand that this was his last song before secluding himself for five years due to extreme depression.
Love your honesty
Why did I go from laughing to being sad 😅
Fun fact. If Pringles were to make The boxes of their legendary stacked chips wider, the stacked chips would likely no longer remain stacked.
The first special was words words words which is also a song with some bars
You're the first person I've seen make the all eyes on me and can't handle this correlation.
His "absurd" problems are about not fitting in then his actual problem is fitting in. Dayum.
This was his last performance before all eyes on me... he knew he needed to back away to better himself mentally. You said he is intelligent... you are correct.
The first time I watched Make Happy, I was on mushrooms. I felt so deeply and hard for what he was saying and what I thought he was going through that I literally cried.
The next time I watched it, I was 100% sober... I felt the same.
Very similar response to "Inside".
Burnham is a genius and with that, you know there's pain.
Please do That Funny Feeling from the special Inside.
Its even more deep and sad to think about how this was his very last thing he did on stage, while having a panic attack. Before not doing anything for 5 years. Then coming back with Inside. This performance was his last one before 2020 when he did that entire special alone in his house.
Amazing reaction Bo is so talented so much more to his music so much depth thanks so much love an God bless x
About 10:35. It might sound as clever vocalisation, but Bo has said he actually had a real panic attack, on stage.
Where you said “not many comedy makes you laugh because you need the intelligence behind it” I so feel you, I don’t find a lot of modern day comedians funny. Bo Burnham was always my favorite comedian because even though he plays funny and sings silly songs he is most likely the smartest guy in the room. Half his stuff blows over peoples heads. He does so many words plays and so many skits that unless your intelligent you really won’t understand any of it!
