Yeah, guys. I know. Bo Burnham made a skit poking fun at reaction videos. I saw it and it was funny. Not sure why that makes people feel like they have to dislike reaction videos to this song lol. But to each their own! I never expected this reaction to get this many views. To the people who support me, thank you! And to the people hating on me for actually doing something with my life, sorry you feel that way. 🤣
And dude, honestly, as someone who has grown with Bo from being there in the beginning as a UA-camr through all of his specials, interviews, movies, and no this work of art, I don’t think Bo is having a go at reactions videos AT ALL. I think it’s cleverly framed that way, but going off of his interviews about his feelings on his material from earlier work, I think this bit is more of a commentary of how the older he gets and the more he sees his other work, that at the time was more “socially acceptable”, he’s much more critical of the implied/inferred tones of the social issues and the verbiage he used at the time to describe them. Some of his most renowned work he now calls indefensible and gross. There’s been interviews where they introduce him and play a clip of old material and he removes his headphones because he can’t stand to even hear himself talk in that manner anymore. Stylising the bit as a “reaction video” was clever in that he knew people would glam on to the concept because of the popularity. That’s the surface. The substance come when you understand he’s simulating every time he sees himself and previous content that at one point started as him appreciating, then being less attached but proud that he made something people enjoy so he’ll still indulge in interacting, to growing irritated that stuff he now deems unacceptable is some of his most popular, to downright throwing headphones off and putting his foot down that he was wrong for things he did and said in a lot of his more immature work and he will not indulge in even watching it anymore. I apologise for such a long winded response. I thought your reaction was poignant, intellectually conveyed, and you understood largely why the dichotomy of the towns and lyrics were meant to be for the story arc of the song. Excellent job, my friend. A new subscriber for sure. Cheers, mate!
Can you please react to the reaction skit so we can see you reacting to Bo reacting to himself reacting to his reaction of his song? The internet obviously needs more reactions of reactions of reactions of reactions of reactions of reactions of reactions of reactions of reactions.
the people doing that completely missed the point of his reaction sketch- it’s nothing against reactions, it’s to show his thought process as he picks himself apart and hates who he was two seconds ago. you’re a lot of fun to watch and i’m sorry some dense mfers are disliking this vid for no reason
"That was deep" Bo is deep. His struggle with anxiety and I'm sure depression is so evident in his work and it inspires me to keep fighting myself. The world needs more Bo!
Welcome to Bo's signature style of comedy. He does this very often, starts off with the relatable haha funnies and then backhands you with cold, hard reality in the second half. Every time you think you see it coming, he somehow still surprises you. Definitely watch Inside, but I HIGHLY recommend watching his other specials, especially What. and Make Happy, first. It will not only give you much of his absolute best comedy ever, but also alot of understanding for the way Bo works and his personal struggles with anxiety and depression, which play a big role in his work. Inside is comparatively light on comedy, but it takes all the existentialism, introspection and depth of the first two and runs with them. Inside is already fantastic on its own, but if you watch the rest first, you'll see how it's quite possibly his magnum opus and the ending especially will hit 10x harder.
I decided to test the “ anything that brain of yours can think of can be found” and I’m disappointed I searched banana squirrels doing karate but couldn’t find anything but normal squirrels doing karate.
“Unstoppable, WATCHABLE you. “ that line is for all y’all ( himself included) who got their start by people watching you on the internet, vine, UA-cam, Instagram, tick tock. Makes you think 🤔 Great reaction though. I love watching people react specifically to his videos because no two reactions are exactly the same and it’s awesome
INSIDE is fantastic (and has some hysterical bits) but I'd check out his other specials first for the "witty songs and funny jokes" experience. Inside gets pretty heavy.
@@KurtisB Damn straight I've perused about a dozen reactions to this, and no one else understood the idea that it was pushed like a street drug...and then the tone becomes more sinister at the end once you realise your dealer has you hooked and he's just laughing at you. "It was always the plan, to put the world in your hand. Hahahahaha!" Somewhat ironically, it seems the younger (Gen-Z) UA-camrs doing reaction videos don't see it at all.
Bo’s critique is more about how smartphones were designed to keep us constantly engaged, the brain gets dopamine hits from using social media, getting “likes” and comments, etc. So it literally was designed to keep people engaged for as long as possible; hence how we’ve become a society of people who can’t cross a fuckin street while walking without typing on their phones.
@@mistym0rning Exactly, the Internet's not evil in its own right, it's just a tool. BUT it was designed, or rather, morphed into possibly the most addicting thing ever created by humans. It's simultaneously a blessing and a curse. Blessing because thanks to it, almost every person in the world can have almost all of the knowledge and information they'd ever want or need right at their fingertips, which has helped society connect and prosper at a pace that was impossible before - and a curse because of that very same thing. Our brains are amazing, but they simply didn't evolve to properly handle this amount of information and conflicting stimuli from all sides, 24/7. It's overloading us, making us depressed, and has probably fucked our collective attention span for all time. For someone with ADHD like me, it's probably the most dangerous thing in existance.
That’s the point tho, that it’s evil because it’s just pure, neutral chaos. I don’t want this to come off as like “judging” since we are both sitting here watching this reaction video, but here we are. Watching this random Internet dude watch a random Internet video because once we see the random Internet video we have to validate that is wasn’t a pointless waste of our time by making sure other random Internet people enjoyed the random Internet video, like him and you and me. You could use the Internet to cultivate a consumer base for your new business. I could use it to learn a new language. Yet regardless of the path we take, it only leads downward, into pits and rabbit holes that fuck with our brain chemistry and we lose ourselves in the process. And even though I’m saying all of this, I know that I’m just going to be back on here, filling my brain with all the good and evil crap that the Internet provides.
Yes, but the problem is the people that control internet, they choose which videos to go viral, they choose which sites to go viral, they always choose what they want to hypnotize you with, and when you start showing people since 2 y old what you want, there you have your army of what you want them to be.
I took that sinister, contemptuous laugh near the end as the internet loling at the sheer, colossal disappointment we mostly turned into. The internet gave us access to everything, near literally "the world" at the palm of our hands. And? We mostly used it just to fap around and do the same inane, petty, dumb, and cruel things we've always done--just in a smarter way. So the internet laughs. And gives up any lofty hopes for humanity--it knows better now--and goes back to doing what it does best: giving people what they want. For good or ill.
I see it more like a back alley dealer. It starts off with "Welcome, pull up a chair. Just try this - you'll like it, there's something for everyone here" - then turns into "It was always the plan, to put the world in your hand. Hahahahaha!", laughing at the junkies he's supplying...now that we're all addicted.
for me the final part sounds more like a "deal with the devil" with that laugh at the end could i interest you in everything all of the time? - a little bit of everything all of the time a deal with the devil that sounds too good to be true and definitly has a downside to it
IDK, it struck me less as directed malice and more "abandon all hope, ye you enter here" combined with the raw insanity that is the unrestricted gestalt of human information. We opened Pandora's box. Now we have to live with the consequences.
The way I see it, this is the natural outcome to giving humans "the world in their hands." Knowledge may grow and spread, but human nature remains the same. The internet exacerbates and incentivizes the baser aspects of the human condition. Think deadly sins like envy, gluttony, lust, etc. That's why every time I hear this song, I imagine it's from the devil's perspective, in that it has nothing the say about the morality of content on the internet, only the demand for it. Long way around to say that the negative consequences, in the context of the song, were intentional.
The Internet isn't truly evil it is what we do on it that makes it into that image it's like a double-edged sword you have to treat it with respect and know that it will come back at you as well as going forward like a tool and like all tools you got to know when to pick it up and know when to put it down responsibly👍
The internet isn't evil. That's like saying "the universe is evil" or "the ocean is evil." The internet is just a space for things to be, and people to traverse. It's the people around it, and on it that control whether or not they use that space well or not.
@@zpearson59 You just said what I said. It doesn't matter how the internet was made. Ofc people can use it for evil. That's why I said "It's the people around it, and on it that control whether or not they use that space well or not."
"Inside" is a masterpiece. Watching Bo slowly unravel, alone in his apartment over a year, during the pandemic, while making his special hit hard and was so relatable. My favorite song/performance from "Inside" is "All Eyes On Me", which he goes right into after breaking down. He just released that video from the special less than 24 hours ago and it already has over 707,000 views.
YES SAME. I've listened to All Eyes on Me like 60 times in the last few days. It's such an earworm for one, but it has so much FEELING to it. Like it crawls into your skin as if its coming home where it belongs
THANK YOU! Finally, instead of saying "omg that laugh was great/crazy" you called out that it symbolized that the internet's plan worked flawlessly and rules everything
Bo Burnham is a genius! You HAVE to watch the whole special in full. And for a little more context, if you haven't yet, definitely check out his previous "Make Happy" special too. At least the ending "Can't Handle This". I can't believe he did this whole production himself. It's just amazing. I hope to see you react to more of his stuff.
My imagination still beats the internet, i tried to find cookies made on jupiter and found nothing T_T Love this Bo Burnham Performance though, thanks for the reaction
Also, not many people notice the genius of the lighting in this song. Starts with stars representing the ever expanding vastness of the internet. It then goes into talking about the the internet when it was just blogs and chatrooms with no stars since it was nothing like it is today. It talks about the 2 year old before they got hold of the ipad with the blue/purple/green/red light representing him. *He (internet personified) maniacally laughs* because he knows the kid is now part of the internet world ... Then he finished the song with the stars and the kid's colors mixed together because we all get introduced to the internet and it's part of our lives forever.
"Your time is now" People aren't looking forward, only focused on the most immediate events in front of you. "Your insides out" Imagine the government inventing a beam that reads your thoughts, or an internet that gets you to spill them all out to them anyway .
Bur-num is the pronunciation. "Inside" is 1.5 hour long special on Netflix. Netflix also has his last 2 specials, "what." and "Make Happy." I think his first special Words, Words, Words is on UA-cam. This guy is talented
YES you need to watch the whole special in the context of the song. It’s so deep because the majority of us have gone solely online for the most part in the past year
It’s tragically true. Our whole generation is so fucked up in the heads at such a young age. I mean in middle school is when I started seeing gore videos like every week, but jeez these kids are seeing this stuff at 7. Not even an exaggeration, kids at 7 are probably seeing people get beheaded and people blowing their brains out. I mean that stuff gets posted onto tik tok all the time, it just takes a bit for it to get censored out. It’s so, so depressing that the kids of our generation will grow up scared, alone, frustrated, and confused as to why they feel so miserable and why they are developing withdrawals from these devices in the first place. Hell, they can’t even grasp the concept of withdrawals.... i genuinely never stop thinking about this as I just graduated as a senior from highschool. No to mention that we got brought into this world on the brink of a global economic crisis- but that’s a conversation for another time
Yep, I was introduced to the internet at like 6-7ish years old in 2008/9 and I saw lots of fucked up stuff. I can’t imagine how much more horrible things kids nowadays witness online.
I haven't rewatched the special that this is from, "Inside", since I first watched it because the themes of anxiety, mental health, the effect the pandemic had on those things, isolation etc. It hits pretty close to home. But I like these reaction videos because I remember being blown away by this song, among others, and I can vicariously enjoy it for the first time again.
Bo Burnham got his fame from the internet (Original UA-cam Era) and he talks about his experience with fame, comedy, and he even discusses the internet in his movie Eight Grade; it’s worth checking out.
Holy shit. You accidentally made the best analogy between children and the internet when comparing it to cigarettes. I'm not sure you even realized it, but it is genius and spot on.
I read a quote some where recently that we should stop blaming the internet and social media for our problems. Think of the 2 mediums as mirrors. You can't get mad at the mirror for what you see. Change yourself, so when you look at the mirror again you enjoy what you see.
Saw this song a lot of times and a lot of reactions but this time it hit me: it could be a reference to Pinocchio and the circus that lured him in. Keep up the good work!
This song to me is about how the internet is both the hero and villain of the story its can show so much info and teach you but can also fuck your day up and make you mad. Its why I’m glad i didnt get a phone for a while until i was twelve cause im not that addicted if im with a friend i talk to them i dont care about likes and shit unlike a lot of people who sadly have become addicts which is kinda what companies made the internet become
Just found you today, first video I've watched of you. Request please make a playlist for all the videos you've done, makes it easier to find what I'm looking for so I don't request a song you've already done. Pretty please 🤣😁🤣
@ 2:33 This is by far one of the greatest reactions of this video. My only (and very small) complaint is that you "missed a spot" where he says "just nod or shake your head and we'll do the rest" Bo is basically speaking for the algorithms Nobody focuses on this part, and your reaction is very good regardless 👍
Thanks! I definitely caught that part. You can see me look at the camera with a bit of a "wow" face lol. But I had already paused the video just a few seconds before that and it would have been an extremely long video if I kept doing that. 🤣
The fact that most people don't realize that the internet is and has always been manipulated and made by the elites shows how right bo is, we've become mindless and addicted to this thing, we don't need it but we want it we don't want to be bored, we want to know everything without actually having to learn about it
there is a book that ray bradbury wrote called "something wicked this way comes" pretty sure he is referencing, an evil carnival that people can't help but go to
It used to be said, in the before time, that boredom was the devils playground. Now everyone, whenever they’re bored, has their brain warped by the devil, I mean the internet.
The internet isn't evil. It's indifferent. We can try and filter it but it's all laid bare for any potential consumer. The internet doesn't care if you see, like Bo says, women's feet or a 9 yr old who died. It only cares that you engaged for a few seconds more.
@@zpearson59 well... imo theres no such thing as good or evil. Thats a human construction. My perception of good and evil could be vastly different to yours. Thats why real villain movies are sometimes interesting, because we see their version of what is defined as 'good' and 'evil'. The internet does not seek us to harm us. It is a vessel driven by humans for humans of humans. Thats all i meant, really.
"they're doing it with the internet" Doing? Dude... they DID it. Twenty years ago. It's done. YOU were the baby that got hooked. You're hooked, we're ALL hooked. They won.
I’m honestly amazed how he managed to summarize all the good and bad things about the internet. Why the internet exists and why it’s so addicting. A nefarious plan by a greedy son of a gun.
and the thing that sucks is theres nothing a parent can do to prevent internet addiction other than becoming amish you go to schools and a 5 year old will have a phone and your kids will ask you for one and if not the schools are using the internet for school
i have gone looking for things and havent yet found, tho i expect as all been techy shenanigans. as someone that been online since before schools had computers, my old house had 6 phone lines as we all needed our own. miss my 1st laptop and its overclocked 8meg ram(not kidding)
The little kids gotta have the internet cause their addicted I need the internet because I don’t wanna go back to the time before the internet We are not the same
LOL yeah, It's a song that reaches into the depths of the soul to pull out what the internet, and by extension all of humanity is about...It always reminds me of Nietzsche's quote, "When you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares into you." When you "Dive" the internet, you see the true depths of humanity...to echo another great mind, Oscar Wilde, "Man is least himself when he speaks in his own person, give him a mask and he'll tell you the truth."
Yo Kurtis my brother from another mother !! Hope you re good.. Man pleas react to "Machine head: Desire to fire". This will kick your ass up😄 I love your reactions. Much love from Tahiti french polynesia.
And now you listen to Disturbeds cover od "Sound of Silence" and you have a complete package... But make sure to listen to the live show at Conan. Even if David Dreiman had the flue whit high fever that day
Could you react to "Voices" by Derivakat? It is a song representing Technoblade's chat on the DreamSMP server, his character on the series is also an anarchist, for a bit of context. And on the server, his chat is represented as voices in his head telling him things.
Love how there is two types of reactions to this song and this is how I choose them: If the person on the thumbnail looks done or terrified then they got the message😂😅

It talks about the 2 year old before they got hold of the ipad with the blue/purple/green/red light representing him. *He (internet personified) maniacally laughs* because he knows the kid is now part of the internet world ... Then he finished the song with the stars and the kid's colors mixed together because we all get introduced to the internet and it's part of our lives forever.
"Your time is now" People aren't looking forward, only focused on the most immediate events in front of you. "Your insides out" Imagine the government inventing a beam that reads your thoughts, or an internet that gets you to spill them all out to them anyway .
"Your Inside's out" can also mean they share every single details of their lives, and no sense of self is left.
Bur-num is the pronunciation. "Inside" is 1.5 hour long special on Netflix. Netflix also has his last 2 specials, "what." and "Make Happy." I think his first special Words, Words, Words is on UA-cam. This guy is talented
I'm so glad to see him making new content again after his long hiatus. Open wide!
You talking about Bo Burnham or me? 🤣
@@KurtisB him lol, he took an around 5 year hiatus
I'm also glad that he did take this brake from the internet to rest. He deserved it.
Daddy made us some content ❤
YES you need to watch the whole special in the context of the song. It’s so deep because the majority of us have gone solely online for the most part in the past year
It’s tragically true. Our whole generation is so fucked up in the heads at such a young age. I mean in middle school is when I started seeing gore videos like every week, but jeez these kids are seeing this stuff at 7. Not even an exaggeration, kids at 7 are probably seeing people get beheaded and people blowing their brains out. I mean that stuff gets posted onto tik tok all the time, it just takes a bit for it to get censored out. It’s so, so depressing that the kids of our generation will grow up scared, alone, frustrated, and confused as to why they feel so miserable and why they are developing withdrawals from these devices in the first place. Hell, they can’t even grasp the concept of withdrawals.... i genuinely never stop thinking about this as I just graduated as a senior from highschool. No to mention that we got brought into this world on the brink of a global economic crisis- but that’s a conversation for another time
Yep, I was introduced to the internet at like 6-7ish years old in 2008/9 and I saw lots of fucked up stuff. I can’t imagine how much more horrible things kids nowadays witness online.
I don't know man, I actually think it's alot harder to see the REAL fu©/ked up sh|t these days, than it was back in the day like around 2006 to 2009, but even going back to like 2000 until 09 as well, but I feel like 2006 (when EVERYONE started having broadband because it was finally super cheap and no one had dial up or DSL anymore) was the year it started getting gnarly with live like, ebaums, and the other one off sites like lemon party, goatse, 2G1C, etc. I happen to be a child of the very early days of the internet and had it right as 56K dial up was readily available for the general public. I'm talking EarthLink dial up and playing Age of Empires on MSN Gaming Zone days. Even before AIM and Xanga, lol. There was no "pr0n video", at least not watchable with 56K. You got to pick from a selection of photos, and most of those sites wanted you to PAY!! But anyways, back to the level of easy access gore on the web..... I mean, honestly, when's the last time you randomly clicked a link or knew exactly where to find a video of a Russian hostage getting a Bowie knife stuck into his throat behind his larynx and sawed outward? You just don't see that sh|t anymore so easily. I know it's out there, and that there are even worse things these days, but I feel like the difference today is, is that that type of content isn't so readily accessible like it used to be. Now you gotta know how to search the deep/dark web and all that. Sh|t, it was a much more dangerous place back then when it came to downloading NON gore content. Using KaZaa or Likewise was almost a guaranteed death sentence for your computer if you weren't careful or paying attention to file extensions, which I luckily knew about. But for the other millions of people who didn't know that jennajameson-deepthroats-peternorth.mpeg.exe WASN'T a pr0n video file, they infected the crap outta their computers, lol. We had Rotten(dot)com even as far back as 1999 till nearly 2000s. So, I just think, while the overall type of content is probably more vile than before, it was the accessibility we had back before 2010 that made the internet a way crazier place.
I haven't rewatched the special that this is from, "Inside", since I first watched it because the themes of anxiety, mental health, the effect the pandemic had on those things, isolation etc. It hits pretty close to home. But I like these reaction videos because I remember being blown away by this song, among others, and I can vicariously enjoy it for the first time again.
Bo Burnham got his fame from the internet (Original UA-cam Era) and he talks about his experience with fame, comedy, and he even discusses the internet in his movie Eight Grade; it’s worth checking out.
Inside is amazing. The most honest special that I have ever watched.
this is like a super villain explaining his master plan, but you can't do anything about it because he's already won.
Holy shit. You accidentally made the best analogy between children and the internet when comparing it to cigarettes. I'm not sure you even realized it, but it is genius and spot on.
I read a quote some where recently that we should stop blaming the internet and social media for our problems. Think of the 2 mediums as mirrors. You can't get mad at the mirror for what you see. Change yourself, so when you look at the mirror again you enjoy what you see.
I love to see the bo burnham content my boy Travis sent me
The whole album is now on spotify
It's perfect because Bo shit on reaction channels later on in the special
This is one of my favorite reactions to this song.
HE REALLY HIT BO WITHA "Damn that's crazy" THE FUCK MAN.
Saw this song a lot of times and a lot of reactions but this time it hit me: it could be a reference to Pinocchio and the circus that lured him in.
Keep up the good work!
He said “they got the kids “so I subscribed
"The internet is evil" - guy on the internet
This video is so high quality, it would have blown up whether Bo had an existing fanbase or not
This song to me is about how the internet is both the hero and villain of the story its can show so much info and teach you but can also fuck your day up and make you mad. Its why I’m glad i didnt get a phone for a while until i was twelve cause im not that addicted if im with a friend i talk to them i dont care about likes and shit unlike a lot of people who sadly have become addicts which is kinda what companies made the internet become
"I danced like a beautiful fool, one time, some time"
Just found you today, first video I've watched of you. Request please make a playlist for all the videos you've done, makes it easier to find what I'm looking for so I don't request a song you've already done. Pretty please 🤣😁🤣
@ 2:33 This is by far one of the greatest reactions of this video.
My only (and very small) complaint is that you "missed a spot" where he says "just nod or shake your head and we'll do the rest" Bo is basically speaking for the algorithms
Nobody focuses on this part, and your reaction is very good regardless 👍
Thanks! I definitely caught that part. You can see me look at the camera with a bit of a "wow" face lol. But I had already paused the video just a few seconds before that and it would have been an extremely long video if I kept doing that. 🤣
A carnival barker calling people in.
There is a sucker born every minute.
That is the vibe of this song. Imo
Inside is a work of art. It reminds me of Hunter S Thompson’s work more-so than any comedian.
Definitely! Brilliant work.
Man I remember Live Leak... Those days were insane. Seeing things we shouldn't be seeing but hey they made memes off those videos.
The fact that most people don't realize that the internet is and has always been manipulated and made by the elites shows how right bo is, we've become mindless and addicted to this thing, we don't need it but we want it we don't want to be bored, we want to know everything without actually having to learn about it
Liked and subscribed. Loved the reaction, and am a big fan of Bo.
there is a book that ray bradbury wrote called "something wicked this way comes" pretty sure he is referencing, an evil carnival that people can't help but go to
The end bit sounds like inside’s one part him lying down on the floor lol
Please do more bo he hilarious his old stuff is really good
It used to be said, in the before time, that boredom was the devils playground. Now everyone, whenever they’re bored, has their brain warped by the devil, I mean the internet.
I reminds me of Pure Imagination but twisted
The internet isn't evil. It's indifferent. We can try and filter it but it's all laid bare for any potential consumer. The internet doesn't care if you see, like Bo says, women's feet or a 9 yr old who died. It only cares that you engaged for a few seconds more.
Idk. I say yes and no. are people evil? Yes and no. The internet cant exist and thrive without people. With all of their views and opinions.. idk
@@zpearson59 well... imo theres no such thing as good or evil. Thats a human construction. My perception of good and evil could be vastly different to yours. Thats why real villain movies are sometimes interesting, because we see their version of what is defined as 'good' and 'evil'. The internet does not seek us to harm us. It is a vessel driven by humans for humans of humans. Thats all i meant, really.
"they're doing it with the internet"
Doing? Dude... they DID it. Twenty years ago. It's done. YOU were the baby that got hooked. You're hooked, we're ALL hooked. They won.
I’m honestly amazed how he managed to summarize all the good and bad things about the internet. Why the internet exists and why it’s so addicting.
A nefarious plan by a greedy son of a gun.
If you paused it at the start and then restarted it you could see him staring at you XD LOL
Exited quick b boy da intro be 2+1-1 word!
Leave a 👍🏻, take a 🍪.
Yay I get kookie
and the thing that sucks is theres nothing a parent can do to prevent internet addiction other than becoming amish you go to schools and a 5 year old will have a phone and your kids will ask you for one and if not the schools are using the internet for school
Dude you deserve more subs keep up the good work. 👍
Great reaction man
Oh, my sweet summer child.
Might be his last reaction. Wait until he watches the while thing on Netflix. I think a lot of people will try to quit the internet because of this.
i have gone looking for things and havent yet found, tho i expect as all been techy shenanigans. as someone that been online since before schools had computers, my old house had 6 phone lines as we all needed our own. miss my 1st laptop and its overclocked 8meg ram(not kidding)
There's a moment where he says "How about next time I watch you?" Literally meaning seeing reaction videos like this....
Kurtis gets it!
Favourite reaction 👌 vicariously reliving the discovery of this song through you was grand 😂🙈
Insanely insane is called bonkers for sure lol, check out inside and his other specials they’re ridiculous. Good vid 👍
I relate to this song so much mainly by the Internet literally raised me better than my mom did
Bc*
That smirk he does at 4:05 as he turns his head. He knows he did something and he’s happy about it 😂
Your reaction is priceless
Finally some reactor that gets it!
You HAVE to watch the whole thing musically blew my mind but he gets DEEP
ddduuuudddeee go watch the inside, shit will make you question everything
Good vibes though all out man ❤️
That's a dope ass shirt my g
*Mickey and Minnie mouse in the background*
The little kids gotta have the internet cause their addicted
I need the internet because I don’t wanna go back to the time before the internet
We are not the same
I believe the music type is electro swing
But who could say no to anything & everything all of the time? Not me. And here I am.
I like to think “Welcome to the internet” is all the song types
LOL yeah, It's a song that reaches into the depths of the soul to pull out what the internet, and by extension all of humanity is about...It always reminds me of Nietzsche's quote, "When you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares into you." When you "Dive" the internet, you see the true depths of humanity...to echo another great mind, Oscar Wilde, "Man is least himself when he speaks in his own person, give him a mask and he'll tell you the truth."
Yo Kurtis my brother from another mother !! Hope you re good..
Man pleas react to "Machine head: Desire to fire". This will kick your ass up😄 I love your reactions.
Much love from Tahiti french polynesia.
5 minute song made into an eleven minute video. Wow
Tell me Bo is wrong. Or rather, tell me he represented the internet wrong.
I literally can't... I looked up 6 tittied cat clowns from outer space...
And now you listen to Disturbeds cover od "Sound of Silence" and you have a complete package... But make sure to listen to the live show at Conan. Even if David Dreiman had the flue whit high fever that day
You should do art is dead by him
Early team
It's amazing but yeah it went from zero to what the fuck REAL fast.
Could you react to "Voices" by Derivakat? It is a song representing Technoblade's chat on the DreamSMP server, his character on the series is also an anarchist, for a bit of context. And on the server, his chat is represented as voices in his head telling him things.
you gotta watch the special man
you are a bright fella
Love how there is two types of reactions to this song and this is how I choose them: If the person on the thumbnail looks done or terrified then they got the message😂😅
Smashed it
