I do NOT own any of the music in this video!!!
This was a his last performance before quitting for 5 years to work on himself and anxiety. When he finally was better and wanted to perform again, Covid hit. He then recorded an album called "Inside" referring to the lock down while in quarantine. Please check it out. Absolutely amazing. Thank you for this reaction video.
I'd really suggest a couple songs from prior shows. Viewed in order they show his growth over the years and adds context that enhances Inside's impact
The performance from Make Happy, the one shown here, isn't his last performance before quitting - people created this myth to try and romanticise Make Happy. Which is a something that Bo himself probably hates, given that he tries to be realistic and grounded about mental health. But Make Happy was recorded in December 2015, but he was still touring well into 2016.
@@CynicaykePeople have a hard time understanding the meta nature of Bo's work. He's writing about genuine feelings, insights, and experiences but it gets taken too literally. Especially Inside where people act as if it was a live camera and they are witnessing him in the moment.
He's been through a lot.
And overcame a lot.
He deserves to be happy.
A hug would help some
but it's more than just a hug he thinks about everything society in every way.
It's a gift and a curse to be a genius.
Side note
He also has problems with having panic attacks and other issues and he overcame so many things during these episodes that happened frequently.
Lol he put out like a book, directed a movie and acted in multiple others. It wasnt as dire as people make it sound.
4:54 He has said in interviews that his shows are planned down to the breath. This is song has a little more wiggle room I think because he is doing his own mixing in real time, sometimes utilizing foot pedals, but a track like We Think We Know You, or his standup segways, are crazy in the timing
Oh, it had a wiggle room all right. The third AAAAH!
Everyone in the production team freaked out, as that was the only unplanned part.
And that was a panic attack on stage.
@@kucsidavee This is an urban legend. Bo addressed this in an interview at one point. It’s a popular one because one of the first things people learn about Bo is how incredibly precise his performances are. Although due to the timing (I think this was the fifth show from the end of this tour), and his comments about having panic attacks after basically every show by the end of the tour, it’s probably reasonable to assume he had one shortly afterward.
Bo is a genius and his ability to lull you into a false sense of security before flipping everything upside down is masterful. Please do more!
The word “genius” is so incredibly watered down anymore from people using it so casually I feel like it doesn’t carry the gravitas it should. Because Bo is legitimately a genius. Arguably one of the most brilliant in entertainment today.
Bo's story is tragic and beautiful. He was quite literally one of the first UA-cam stars, and that weight eventually resulted in this performance.
If you decide to get into Bo Burnham, PLEASE start from the beginning and work forward! It's incredible watching him grow from a kid who will say anything to illicit a response to someone who invokes deep emotions while making you laugh at the same time.
His story is most young people's story at a more localized scale. Social media changed the human condition.
He's been through a lot.
And overcame a lot.
He deserves to be happy.
A hug would help some
but it's more than just a hug he thinks about everything society in every way.
It's a gift and a curse to be a genius.
Side note
Bo is bo you either like him or you don't he is very genuine very kind person also a genius.
He also has problems with having panic attacks and other issues and he overcame so many things during these episodes that happened frequently.
As someone with not the best mental health, this song always gets me right in the feels
Must have watched literally hundreds of reactions to this song over 3 days - and even though I know the lyrics by heart now, and I know everything that is coming. "Come and watch the skinny kid with the steadily declining mental health, and laugh as he attempts to give you what he cannot give himself" - causes a lump in my throat, every single time without fail. Also a mental health sufferer here. Severe anxiety and panic disorder.
I can't watch this performance without shedding a few tears. It's very relatable.
Always in tears as soon as I the Can't handle this right now bit starts after he talks about Wanting to please the crowd, but also fear them.
I kinda have the same thing in my general life.
Welcome to the rabbit hole that is Bo Burnham, this show was the last before a 5 year hiatus due to suffering panic attacks on stage. He is brilliantly talented and his recent project after the 5 year break is titled "Inside". ANY of the songs from that, or from Bo in general would be good to also react to. Then move on to "Tim Minchin"... you will see the influence he had on Bo.
Best of luck with your channel, I hope the algorithm is kind to you 💜🇦🇺
This whole song was part of a panic attack he was having on stage.
He should've won a grammy on this album. He is the pioneer and still the only comic doing this type of comedy.
Goosebumps every time.
He stooped performing for 5 years due to panic attacks he was suffering from serious anxiety issues. INSIDE is his coming back but then January 2020 happened. INSIDE IS AMAZING
The way I cry everytime I hear the end of this one even before I learned that he had panic attacks, it really resonate with me
The feeling of putting a mask to please everyone yet still feeling like crumbling down from the pressure of not being me, it breaks people
I'm messed up for like 40 minutes after this, every time I watch it.
As someone else pointed out this was his last show for years because of anxiety and panic attacks, the screaming at the end was not intentional that was him having a panic attack he was doing it to get through the rest of the song. the last like 2 minutes of the song is super sad and introspective on his part makes ya wanna give him a big hug.
I was about to say the same thing
After knowing that he was having an attack at that point made that part of the song hit even harder
If it makes you feel better, he wasn't having a panic attach during this version of Can't Handle This. This is from the second night of recording, where he was fine. It was night one, most of which didn't make into the Netflix special, that he was struggling with. He talks about it here: ua-cam.com/video/eOABIabgRCg/v-deo.html
Fans trying to romanticise Make Happy by spreading the lie that his panic attack made into the final cut is really gross, and is the exact opposite of the message he was trying to convey here.
No. He’s said he wasn’t having a panic attack in this performance. He don’t make noises unless it’s been planned. It was 10000 percent planned. Watched him do it 3 different shows. Did it every time
Something the people here didn't mention is that this wasn't his last performance. Yes, make happy was his last tour but this wasn't the last performance in the tour.
Its a song about the pressure he that faces when he performs and all the stress that comes with it,he stopped performing all together for 5 years because he was having panic attacks on stage
Also in this performance he had a panic attack
At the and he was supposed to repeat the chorus but he was screaming instead because he couldnt handle his panic attack any longer
Please do more Bo. He has so many styles of songs.
DO more and only BO lol he is the best comedian ever
Bo is special. This whole special is an amazing starting point, and Inside is a great follow up to see him vulnerable. His early stuff is more pun and word heavy, and can be juvenile, but its great to see how far hes come from being a 16 year old youtube star making videos in his room.
Bo is a GENIUS! You most definitely should do more reactions to his stuff
I agree!
Bo actually had a mental breakdown at the end of this performance. The third scream at the end was not part of the set and very real. He took a good break afterwards
So, fun fact: Stand Up comedy isn't nearly as loose as a lot of people realize. The specific words you say can massively change the impact of the joke, and so does the timing. So, while it may not be composed exactly like a song, they do memorize it in a similar way, down to the meter of their speech. For some jokes, comedians will practice saying it exactly the same way, at the same speed, with the same inflection, hundreds of times to make sure that every time they tell the joke it lands the same way. Now, not all comics, or even all jokes from the same comic, require the words to be said with laser precision, but quite a few do. George Carlin used to practice his tougher bits literally right before he would go on stage to make sure the muscle memory in his mouth was ready.
I think the burrito bit is a metaphor for the pressures and problems that came with his fame. He got famous at such a young age, and none of the adults in his life prepared him for the crazy amount of stress that comes with being a live performer on the road for months at a time. He thought that all the perks of being rich and famous would be like delicious burrito ingredients that he would enjoy, but before he knew it, the burrito was too full and it ruined his mental health. "I wouldn't have got the lettuce if I knew it wouldn't fit." "I wouldn't have got the cheese if I knew it wouldn't fit." "And I don't think that I can handle this right now."
He wants you to fill in the blanks like this.. even though I’m 95% positive he didn’t think what you said. Lol
Interesting story about this performance. Bo Burnhams performances are rehearsed exhaustively, ever beat, every word, every breathe is planned weeks or months in advance, every performance of a partifular song or bit is pretty much exactly the same as it has been planned out and rehearsed to perfection. In this performance his crew backstage started freaking out because the third scream he does in the very last part of the song was not planned and had never been added in before. This was Bo's last performance for 5 years before going on hiatus.
You could think of this as him making a mistake but going by the context of the song and stuff I think it was more that he did it on purpose to really show that he couldnt handle this right now.
This one always makes me cry. I saw this tour. I got tickets and knew he had said it was going to be the last time he performed and that just showed a little bit as to why back in 2015. I'd watch his specials here and there and was so excited when he announced he was making a new special on Netflix. It's just sad that when he was finally ready to get back on stage, he couldn't because the pandemic hit at the same time. But he also didn't let it stop him from giving us a performance either.
Bo's comedy routines are intricately planned out. The lighting, everything he says, everything he does, they're all planned out before-hand. Maybe there are some very small changes, but it's very much a mix of theatre and comedy
The most brilliant people are the most in need! Much love Bo 💕
Awesome first reaction! Thank you for pausing while giving your feedback or waiting for a lull. So many reactors forget to do that and it’s so difficult to hear what they’re saying. Keep it up!
One thing you will learn about Bo..... he does not wing ANYTHING, he overplans and overprepares and overrehearses everything, and the result is just wonderful.
Those screams at the end was most likely him trying to let out and fight his panic attack as the show comes to its end. You can feel them.
If by "just a little bit overwhelmed", you mean, about to walk off stage, break down, then walk away from performing, for five years. You should check out "All Eyes on Me", next, for the follow up.
I haven't seen this in a while, but now knowing his history and his break after this I started to cry.
He left the comedy world entirely after this special in 2016 and didn't resurface until he released Inside at the start of the pandemic
What i like to say to Pringles: "Why a can?"
Honestly 😂
Watching your faces during his deeper lines made me wanna cry. I felt the exact same way when I first saw this video. Liked and subscribed. You're a gem.
Thank you!!
Ive watched this piece thousands of times and hundreds of reactions and i think this is one of the most genius pieces of comedy/music ever made.
Props to Ellie Rose for the recommendation. Bo Burnham reactions are how I found her, and how I found you. She didn't lead you astray. If you choose to keep heading down the Bo rabbit hole, I'll be along for the ride. Go deep! You won't be sorry.
Bo Burnham and NF are two of my personal heroes and I think both are geniuses , loved your NF Reactions
I definitely agree, thank you!
At the end of that performance, he very much needed a hug.
Every single second of Bo's show is planned. He is a master showman. He calls himself a performer before anything else.
If you're impressed by his memory now, you should check out We Think We Know You.
I've been in a bit of a rabbit hole on youtube watching reaction videos to this track for a week or so, and you nailed it. You did a better reaction video than people with 1M subscribers. Keep on because you did great.
Thank you so much! I’ve got a new video coming out tomorrow at 6pm :)
Very VERY fun and genuine reaction! Loved it. Also liked that you didn't stop every five seconds and let it build the way it was supposed to build!
Can definitely recommend watching more stuff from Bo.
I think you probably get the gist of it already with all the comments about him :D
Glad you enjoyed!
A different artist you should check out is Ren. He’s currently going viral with his song Hi Ren. He’s British, and has an incredible story. The song Hi Ren is mind blowing. And completely unexpected.
He just released 'Sick boi" which is the single of his upcoming album. Hi-Ren blew up at the right time, such an amazing artist.
If you want to see how carefully he has scripted and memorized things, watch "We Think We Know You." Starts slow but is amazing.
Your side looks to the camera are hilarious
😂😂😭
This was an excellent reaction video! You hit all the important bits:
1. You chose a really good video to react to.
2. It was very well edited. Audio was mixed well, and the Bo video was clear and not distorted, but also not in your way.
3. You didn't talk over Bo's dialogue too much.
4. And the big one... you didn't pause the video every 5 seconds. Pauses were infrequent and short, just the way they should be.
I wish every react video on UA-cam was like this. Thanks for the content! Would love to see you react to more of Bo's stuff.
For the first reaction, this is actually pretty good and yea Bo Burnham is my fav artist. I would suggest reacting to "Straight White Men" next
As a fan of his work, I can say that this song is arguably the best one in his career, but it probably feels anticlimactic without listening to his other stuff. I'd recommend something like 'Lower your expectations', which is funny and meaningful in a vacuum.
Btw this was 2015, he's doing better now!
I'm also a fan and I remember this being the second Bo performance I ever saw. I did not know the context, nothing, and STILL this blew my mind. The intensity, honesty & realness comes right through the screen, that's something that a person cannot fake, and other people usually sense that. I didn't know who he was or what he was going through, but I started to cry and felt a bit panicked, because I worried about him & wanted to know what happened. And that sent me down the rabbit hole of his work. I love to watch people react to this without the backstory.
This one and "Art is Dead" are my favorites of his. "From God's Perspective" is probably third for me
Pro-tip to any UA-camr: Want me to click on your video, react to Bo Burnham lmao. Great video, excited to see more!
The burrito is an analogy about being an artist the money, the fame it started seeping out of him everywhere
💃”I’m here” 💃
There is so much more of his stuff you should check out. I don't say it lightly, but I really do think this guy is a genius. He's staggeringly creative, whip smart and original.
Honestly, watching this gave me the same chills I get just watching the video myself. It was your facial expressions and your comments that really resonated with me! I made a lot of the same faces the first time I watched it, too. I still do sometimes. The concern in your brow :( Yeah, knowing he was suffering major anxiety/panic attacks at the time of this recording too really changes things. I'd love to see more reactions, especially to Bo's stuff!
UA-cam algorithm will never stop recommending these Bo Burnham reactions. And I will continue to watch every one of them. #ImTheProblemItsMe
I normally don’t comment on videos where they ask for recommendations, but this is an exception; if you want a good song for reactions, I’d love to hear your thoughts on “All Eyes on Me”by Bo Burnham. It is a direct sequel to this song and he even references this song in it.
Honestly ANY Bo Burnham would be good, but try to remember that he’s a very introspective comedian so his songs will be funny on the surface, but you can really get some deep meaning if you look a little.
But great reaction on this! A lot of people don’t really catch that this song was a cry for help, either. After this song he didn’t perform for 5 years.
I’m a rapper and Bo inspires me to make my own music.
I really enjoyed your reaction! Id love to see you in more! You seem really empathetic and theres tons of music that reaction fans will recommend to pull on your heartstrings. We love seeing reaction people discover deep artistic things and have genuine and profound reactions because in a way we get to re-visit how we felt the first time hearing these masterpieces again! Music reactions are exclusively for people who can really "feel" music. You seem kind and genuine and that makes for a wonderful (and popular) music reaction channel! Hope youll consider trying alot more :)
Would love to see more Bo Burnham reactions, he's such a genius and all his stuff is worth listening to/watching.
Bo Burnham usually does not wing it in these performances, they are well rehearsed as far as i know.
He rehearses like crazy. He’s known for having everything planned even interruptions that seem random are planned
The Pringles and burrito bits are metaphors
fun facts, this was bo burnhams last show before a 5 year break that just ended with the release of his song "welcome to the internet" and unrelated ti that, bo burnham is 6 foot 5
An ex of mine died a year after this came out of a heroin overdose but One of my happiest memories of her was us watching this. Watching it's usually good for a Cry then existential reconstruction
"... He doesn't seem okay. I think he might need a hug. " -- Aaaaaaaand SUBSCRIBED.
Would love to see more Bo Burnham! There is so much to react to. If you react to his songs from the Inside special, then I would recommend watching the whole thing and uploading it in portions, because the in between scenes are so important to get the real feel for all the songs!
Realising that the whole Burrito thing is an analogy for his life really makes it so crazy listening now. "Wouldn'ta got the ... if I knew it wouldn't fit"
Definitely check out All Eyes On Me. It’s essentially a followup on this song from five years later. During the pandemic.
React to more bo burnham! He really is a genius. He made a special in 2021 all just from his room called “inside”
If you watch his first show, called ''What'', he does a whole bit about how EVERY detail of his shows is planned. Besides his talent he is the consummate professional, and that is something that he mentions here... the ''deep part'' you comment on is even deeper than you think-- how much he cares about his messages and his performance really goes above.
Watching his full shows is well worth the time.
yes please more, have fun on your bo burnham journey, happy to join you
never seen you on UA-cam before this reaction but Bo Burnham is gold keep reacting to him and your channel will blow up.. but you need to take the Bo journey from the beginning to now.
Very good first reaction, I must say! I like to watch a lot of reaction videos (Ellie Rose too), and you did very well: didn't pause too much, genuine reactions, pleasant voice & lighting. You could analyze a bit more at the end, especially after intense & meaningful performances like this. Most people react like you, they want to hug him after watching this. You're right - at that time he really was NOT okay, and definitely needed a hug (and a break).
Bo is a very good artist to start with, he has tons of good content. Just go with the suggestions; you can just pick the most popular ones or go in order from older content to newest, doesn't matter. They're all good, and people like to watch reactions to Bo. I know I would.
He definitely timed all of the dialogue and singing, it's a really difficult thing to do for such a long song live! He's a pro
Subscribing solely for more Bo Burnham reactions. I second the person who suggested white woman's instagram by Bo
Agreed and same
I watched Ellie's reactions a little while ago. Excited to watch you experience Bo!
Bo is in my top 3 comedians, this was a great reaction video definitely do more! I plan on starting some myself!
So if you haven't yet you should check out Bo Burnham's "Inside Out" to understand the full story. This was just the beginning but his story is one of the most thoughtful and present in this day and age for summing up what millions of people feel. Specifically Artists but also just people with mental health issues.
Great reaction girl ✌️💖
Thank you🥰
Bo doesn't wing it. He is meticulous and plans out every step of his act, practicing until it's as consistent as possible. Part of the thing that drives his anxiety, IMO.
Subscribed to see more Bo reactions. And other reactions.
He is quite the performance artist.
Best of luck growing your channel.
Thank you!! ☺️
Please do so much more reactions to Bo Burnham, his work is amazing
If you enjoyed it, his other shows are on Netflix too as well as his most recent, Inside. I would highly suggest watching all of Make Happy though and not just the last song 😅
Liked and Subscribed for more Bo reactions!!! Always awesome seeing someone watch Bo for the first time. The dude’s got a back catalogue that’s just pure gold.
A little background, this song was the closer for his 3rd special and he took 5 years off from doing comedy (for reasons) right after this performance. I’d love to see you react to any Bo Burnham song but since you watched this song in particular, you’ve gotta do ‘All Eyes on Me’ as well. It’s a kind of thematic sibling to this song.

This got in my recommendations, so pre-excited to see someone hearing this for the first time. Bo is incredible.
I believe he said somewhere that he was actively having a panic attack during the last third of this song at the show that got recorded.
the whole special is available free on his channel
Lovely first try at a reaction video! Bo is a damn genius and an incredibly unique comedian. I highly recommend checking out his other stuff.
People do not get it. That mic drop at the end was actually final. He had a panic attack right there, live on stage. Since that mic hit the floor, he has not spoken a word to a live audience.
Ohh mann!! Bo Burnham rabbit hole!! Must react to his Inside special on Netflix!!!
More Bo, all his stuff is meaningful. It’s stuff you need to try to understand what he really means. Keep it up!
Notice how literally everything he talked about in this song is about not fitting in.
His hand not fitting in the pringles can. Him not fitting in at the gym. The contents of the burrito not fitting inside the confines of the tortia.
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
all of his perfomances are rehearsed to the second, so yea he doesnt wing it or does improv he knows what he has to say and when to the second.
Love it! Would love to see you do anything by Bo.
Well done. I love watching people react to this video. You did well with the meaning of it.
Lol, he's a musical genius, and comedian, he started on UA-cam...
I hope you watch more of bo he is a genius and is so personal with his comedy
Wait, hold the damn phone for a second; we're clear that most professional comedians script out their stand-up routines, right? They're not just up there improvising their way through the material, it is written out and timed for jokes to land at intervals depending on the total length of their set. The order their bits are in is all established long before they go on tour or record a special. They might set aside time to do crowd work, and in those sections they might riff for a bit, but the majority of it is written and rehearsed.
The two distinct sections of this song are what make it gold. The first half which was mocking Kanye for whining about meaningless bullshit, and then actually being genuine with the audience and talking about the very real shit he was going through at the time. He is incredibly good at what he does, and virtually every moment of his shows are meticulously timed out.
Earlier in this special he does a finger gun while saying the show is planned down to the gesture and a little sound effect goes off.
You should definitly watch his song "all eyes on me" wich is a direct response to thus song, but 5 years later
He later stated he was literally having a panic attack in the middle of performing this song.
This hits the soul
Wait until she watches his Netflix special. Inside. I think his earlier hits were the careless free happy ones. He’s more refined now
That was pretty impressive being your first reaction LOL. It's funny cuz I'm subscribed to Ellie Rose as well. Loved watching her Bo Burnham reactions. I subscribed. And maybe more than happy to continue watching Bo Burnham reactions. Have you ever checked out ERB before? Epic Rap Battles of History they are hilarious. And if you know the characters they can be very entertaining to watch.
Luke Skywalker versus Harry Potter is a really good one if you're familiar with them. Good luck !
Instant sub!! I’d love to see you do more Bo Burnham!!
