![Bo Burnham - Can't Handle This (Kanye Rant) - MAKE HAPPY Netflix [HD]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/rYy0o-J0x20/mqdefault.jpg)
How are you feeling?
Reaction starts at 0:45
Do you like the show? I’m asking but don’t answer because I don’t wanna know
@@mounthope2567 Are you finding it boring? To fast too slow???
@@vijzon I'm asking but don't answer. Cause I dont want to know.
I regret to inform you that I’m finding you increasingly cuter as this goes on.
That funny feeling... Ya know, persistent impending doom and whatnot.
Oh, you wouldn't believe the number of people I've seen relate to the "I thought that it'd be over now, but I got a while to go" line in relation to their life - because they were suicidal when younger and never thought they'd live to see age 25 or 30, and now they find themselves at that age with no idea how to do this Life thing. I doubt that is what Bo meant or how he himself felt, but I love that his lyrics can be meaningful in so many different ways.
And of course, like the entire special, all of it intersects with COVID.
"Look who's inside again
Went out to look for a reason to hide again"
"It's almost over, it's just begun"
"Hey, what can you say?
We were overdue
But it'll be over soon
You wait"
@@AllTheArtsy And I love how it can all be interpreted in so many valid ways, because I can see all of those lines you quotes being above covid, but for my own self I interpreted them very differently.
@@godzillaeyes and im not even really saying those lines i quoted above are *about* covid (or any 1 thing in particular). im saying that bo is saying a lot of things that can mean many different things all at once, but this being a special made in and about covid, that theme does permeate it. but so does mental health, depression, climate change, celebrity and internet culture, and all those things combined
@@AllTheArtsy 100% in agreement
Literally exactly how I feel about that line. And the line before of “is there anyone out there or am I all alone? It wouldn’t make a difference still I don’t wanna know.” It hits me in my feels deep, it’s like the feeling of wanting to have people there but then the second someone’s there to be with you and give you a shoulder to cry on you don’t even care anyway. Idk super apathetic feel to that line.
I can't explain it but when Bo asks "are you finding it boring?" And you shake your head it's really wholesome
I know it's part of the streamer bit, but I just love the "game" is an SSRI production (SSRI, a type of antidepressant) lol
Also, most people do love the special. Those who don’t, are upset that he’s actively trying not to offend others, and they were hoping for jokes that punch down.
I also saw a few people criticize the special because they think he’s being inauthentic. Because of his last stand up where he said, when he’s on stage, he’s not being honest for a even a second, and it’s all a lie. So they assume his moments of mental deterioration, documented between each song, is all fake. They also seem to like to bring up the fact that he’s a privileged man with a lot of money, and a girlfriend, as though he has no excuse to be depressed, which just ends up really aggravating me. People can still have a loving family, money, and fame, and be depressed or anxious.
That's interesting. I just assumed that at least a portion of the anxiety and depression shown in Inside was embellished or even just an act. Why does it have to be 100% real for it to be good? Besides, as you said, being rich or successful doesn't make a person happy or incapable of depression.
@@Mekias Dude! Your life has to be sad and pathetic to try to make an argument out of what she just said.
You’re inauthenticity is on full display and you look like an ass.
She makes a lot of good points. If you concentrate on what you like instead of tearing others down because of what they do, you might be a little better off than you are.
You tell the world what a sad little thing you are by not telling it about what makes your opinion worth reading.
Tell us what makes you…well, you!
Unless you live under a bridge. We are all going to assume that from the previous comment.
@@Amanda-mb5sp I'm not sure what I said that caused your response. I was commenting on the people who Grace mentioned were critical of the special because they thought Bo was being inauthentic. It just seemed a weird thing to criticize since Inside is a piece of art and doesn't have to be 100% real to be good or important.
really? i think the special if very offending to people who deserve to be offended by it. i never felt like he was trying to avoid offending some people. the special is very leftist and anti-capitalist.
but yeah its amazing but part of why i love it is because it felt like he was punching up and wasnt scared that this was gonna offend certain groups of people.
@@Mekias I did see that a lot of people were convinced it was all an act. I think even if it was, which i don’t think it was, it still came from a very real place originally. I do think that Bo is a decent actor, but there are some things in Inside, like the look in his eyes that progressively gets even more tragic as the special goes on, the very real moment where he almost broke the camera, the frustration, and then the most bleak moment of all where he said he wasn’t well- he’s a good actor, but he’s not /that/ good.
Also, there are many interviews he’s done between his last special, and this one, where he’s really become fascinated with authenticity and vulnerability, which is evident in his movie Eighth Grade. I think the moments between songs were his way of trying to give us something real, rather than something staged. Even if it’s not real, to me, in the end, it doesn’t matter though.
Yes!! The streamer part is fun. You can tell he’s been watching twitch streamers during the last year
Definitely react to the streamer part haha!
100% third this
Ooh I just noticed that the spotlight is pointed at Bo from the background (in the shot) which really changes the feeling. It’s like we’re not in the audience…
Oh yeah, good catch…
Yeah, this is absolutely about how Bo is asking for criticism but doesn't actually want to know the answer to his questions, or even how his viewers are experiencing his special. The intense anxiety he feels towards receiving any criticism. Because if you put yourself out there, creating something as personal as a special like this, anyone criticizing it likely feels like a personal attack. And humans, being human, tend to disregard praise and focus only on negativity. You can see this play out in real time on Twitter regularly where someone will post something that has thousands of positive responses, but claim the website is a trash fire over a relatively small number of negative tweets. Bo asked, but he doesn't really want to know.
And you are doing really great. Most reactors aren't particularly insightful. The concept of watching something and then immediately articulating your visceral thoughts as it is happening isn't particularly good for critical analysis. But you are a pretty deep thinker, and a pretty sensitive guy. Which makes your videos well worth watching, as you genuinely try to grapple with the material not as content, but as art. It is why I watch every video and frequently comment (and like and subscribe).
Also you should totally react to the twitch stream.
Loving these Bo Burnham reactions. I’ve watched an unhealthy amount of them from various channels, and your analysis has been the best so far. You’re also one of the only ones to really notice some of the visual themes and lighting, which is a whole other layer. Keep it up!
Means a lot 😌
Of course! It's so understandable that you feel anxious about comments. You're a human being, you have emotions, most people forget so much about that because we as an audience just watch a minimal fraction of who you are, but some people tend to assume who you are. Idk, man, parasocial relationships are so scary and I wish you always the best so you don't find nasty people here hahaha
Bezo 1 has been my ringtone since the day after Inside came out.
Also as someone with depression this one hit hard, "
Is there anyone out there? Or am I all alone?
It wouldn't make a difference, still, I don't wanna know
I thought it'd be over by now but I got a while to go
I'd give away the ending but you don't wanna kn-"
With regards to that hat, I'd guess it's a callback to inside, "Sorry that I look like a mess, I booked a haircut but it got rescheduled"
i definitely prefer Bezos II over Bezos I
@@saphcal the keyboard solo is what puts 1 over 2 for me.
@@ISavant ah i see i usually care more about vocals in a song with lyrics than the underlying music work.
@@saphcal Well then Bezos 1 wins again because how do you top lyrics like "Zuckerbergs and gates and buffet amateurs can fuckin' suck it fuck their wives, drink their blood, COME ON JEFF GET 'EM"
@@ISavant i just like the way he sounds singing the (very few) lyrics in Bezos 2. I think it having less lyrics actually makes me like it more.
As someone who is extremely sensitive to criticism, I found the lyrics really relatable.
Same
The other facet with this song, and with Bo, specifically, is that he's used to being a live-performer. All of his content, prior to this (once he was at the point where he was leaving the house and doing long-form content... "Words, Words, Words", "What?", "Make Happy") could be audience-tested and shopped in clubs, or with peers, or even just live feedback in situ. It's a very fish-out-of-water feeling to take a standup comedian and put them in a movie... or take an improv comedian and make them do standup... or take a live musician and put them in a studio.
Even somebody who has learned to do both of those tasks is still going to hit some cognitive dissonance when they're asked to do something they're used to doing in one format, but do it in the other format, instead (like taking sterile, calculated, perfect music performances needed for engineering, and then adding body and life to them in concert without the benefit of backing tracks and the like).
In this case, he's building out an entire film's worth of content, where he can't shop it with peers or test-audiences; not in any meaningfully dynamic way, until it releases a year later (production also being a part of the "thought I'd be done by now... but I've got a while to go" angle). He knows how to make a song; he knows how to make a stand-up bit; he knows how to make a movie... but now his stand-up stuff needs to fit the film format under very, very closed-set conditions.
PS: whether you do it inline, or come back to it later, definitely react to that short Let's Play that basically leads into the next tune.
This strikes a chord with me as a content creator (on a different channel) the fact that we wonder how people react to our content and yet at the same time we don't wanna know even though we are always wondering because we are afraid of what the feedback will be its an assbackwards kinda situation
the streamer part is one of the longer non-song parts of the special. worth doing a react, i think
First time commenting but I’ve watched all your Bo reactions, great stuff man. Even if you see negative comments (unavoidable), remember there’s a lot of us bobbing to your content without commenting :)
You’re so right and thank you for reminding me. Appreciate that.
I haven't heard this since I first watched it on Netflix more than a year or two ago, I didn't think it would hit me this hard but I immediately started crying when he asked, "Is there anyone out there?"
I’ve been loving these videos! I’ve seen a lot of reactions to the Inside special, but yours may be my favorite because you actually take the time to really think about what it might mean, instead of looking at the surface or just regurgitating what others have said. Really well done!
I just found your channel and have been going through and watching every video. They’re all incredibly high quality (especially for a smaller channel) and I’m really enjoying your insights. It’s so nice to see a reaction channel actually commenting and reacting to the videos, not just watching it. So keen to see what you do/where you go in the future!
I was waiting for this. Can’t believe how early I am haha
dude i love your work
you're definitely one of the best (if not the best) "reactors" I've ever seen, it's really cool to see your reactions and thoughts about the songs and most of them are accurate
I have looked forward to your updates the past few days, your reactions and insights have been the best so far, keep up the good work man
I feel like ive watched every reaction video to Bo’s special and I gotta say yours is one of the best videos. You really pick up details fast unlike many reaction channels who just WOOSH, stuff goes over their heads contextually. The only part i would say you are missing is theres musical references ive seen music channels pick up like his chord progressions and sounds he layers. But awesome videos dude.
dude
it's so good to see your vids
you're a such a calm guy, I'm really passionate with this
keep up with the videos!!
Dude I have watched you grow from the first video and in my opinion you grew fast because your insights are accurate and you aren't afraid to make yourself vulnerable to get that thoughtful reaction. I hope the trolls don't make you jaded and keep doing you. I will watch no matter where your content goes as long as you stay true to you.
Commenting to give you a little bit of anxiety when you get the notification.
Lol I'm just playing. Love you reactions, man. Keep it up
Low key scared me 😂
heck yeah react to the streamer bit! have you been watching the in-between parts of the songs off-camera?
I’ve been watching the parts in between after I react to the song, yeah.
@@ChrisReactsToThings did you watch the streamer bit off camera or did you record it?
I haven’t watched it yet in case you all wanted me to react.
This sounded like "Have you been doing your homework?". 😃 I totally agree he should be watching the skits in between the songs to not lose the context but that sounded funny. 😁 Good to know Chris has been a good boy! 😝
@@ChrisReactsToThings React to it!! :D
Real question: how can he write sooooooo many amazing songs? He could quit comedy and legit write pop songs for millions of dollars
Really excited to see your reactions to the couple next songs! I feel like my favorite songs are still just coming up even though all the ones before have been great too!
Also, I really appreciate that you have thoughtful analysis and a calm, measured tone. They're really easy to watch.
Great take on this piece! Having fun watching you join the fandom.
And here I am thinking, "how could I ever attempt to do reaction videos...I can't do it as good as Chris". You are doing a great job and I truly hope your channel continues to grow. I have been enjoying these videos a lot. Thank you!!!
I think you're great! I honestly look forward to your uploads (no pressure though!). You're very calming, and by that, I do not mean boring at all. You just have a very soothing demeanor and have a really clear, kind and genuine way of conveying your thoughts. I really appreciate your knowledgeable take on things while having no hesitancy in being open to other's ideas. I'm truly happy to be one of your newer subscribers!
the first time i watched this with my boyfriend and bo sang “are you on your phone” i look over to my bf AND HE WAS. HOW FOUL IS THAT 😭
5:27 that might be why Bo keeps the comment sections off on his youtube
Don't be anxious about your comments, your reactions are amazing! Keep up the good work, Bro! 👍
I know it was short but thank you for waiting to talk till the end. Constant pausing stifles the momentum and people tend to miss shit. Subscribed!
Stuck singing this for 2 hours 😭 I absolutely love this 🖤
"I thought it'd be over by now, but I've got a while to go, I'd give away the ending but you don't wanna know"
This was a good articulate reaction,, a lot of what you just said makes perfect sense, good job and thanks for your commentary and thoughts' , perspective. my only thought when it comes to lines or phrases that can be taken in multiple ways in my eyes is always a sign of genius.
It reminds me of a time when back in the Day when Saturday Night Live used to be good, Ed Asner did a skit where he was a manager of a nuclear power plant, the skit was about him as the manager getting ready to go on vacation but before leaving the office in a meeting with the staff, he said... " Remember, you can't fill the reactors too full of water and with that he left.
The next day when the staff was talking about his comment, it became clear they did not know what he meant and it became an uncertainty of what the boss meant, did he mean, it don't mater how much water you put in the reactor or if you put to much water in the reactor that it could be Deleterious? after a short debate, the staff made the decision and in the next scene, the entire power plant blew up. whoops...
So, I think the point to open ended questions like this are designed to make people think... anyway. hey, I don't know the answers, only the questions.
But I really enjoy your reactions, I see your wheels spinning thinking deeply as is the point, I think LOL
Hey man, I know this is a bit late but I just stumbled upon your channel the other day. I know it may not mean much but I hope you don't still feel too apprehensive about your content. I've been loving watching all of your Bo videos so far, you're doing a great job. Watching this through your perspective is great. You even show your emotions at the parts that made me tear up too. I'm looking forward to finishing your Bo stuff and checking out your other videos.
Man, now I feel guilty that I've been commenting as I go! Hope it hasn't been too much of an anxiety spike, and I hope you don't feel too obliged to keep up the frantic daily pace UA-cam demands if things get too overwhelming and you need to take a step back.
You're sooooo right about all the short bops. I want extended versions of everything.
One thing I really like (or, maybe appreciate would be a better word) was that I think there's a really clever element of manipulation here - the do I have your attention/am I on in the background lines are gonna hit a lot of people because it's directly after that window washing intermission, giving them a big opportunity to get distracted... or maybe I'm just projecting because yeah first time I watched I was absolutely on my phone during this song!
I like this because you are actually watching the full movie so it’s not all random. Good job with that one
Loved the reaction! And I can understand a lot of your worries regarding how your audience perceives you. If it ever does get to be too much, definitely take a break or leave entirely. Your videos are awesome, but it wouldn't be enjoyable if it was coming at the expense of your mental health. BUT! Until then, I'll keep enjoying your reactions! 10/10. (To be clear because tone is hard to perceive over text, this is meant to be 100% supportive of your endeavors LOL).
one of the best songs of the special
You should react to the full special 😁😊
YES PLEEEASE!!!! The twitch streaming bit is *great* fodder! Also, I don’t want this to end! You have fast become my favorite reactor. The people who are unkind on here are not able to humanize others, so please try not to take it personally!
A skill i think is important for anyone with a public face to have is the ability to recognize and ignore trolls, or know how to properly shut them down. And it IS a skill, make sure to keep an eye for things to spot that might be in purely malicious, and reapeat to yourself that you should not listen to them, they mean harm, and knowing how to spot it is they way to deal with it i think.
I'm also of the belief that you should do that with blind positivity too, lest ones ego inflate
6:45 There is definitely a HUGE difference between a "You suck!", and a "You might try doing it this way _______" for sure! The Internet seems to have had an interesting effect on some individuals, and by "interesting" I mean its an empathy-killing troll serum.
excellent analysis.
That was the best song in the movie, I wish it was longer
I hear this and attribute this to my life. How’s everyone feeling, do you like the show? My life is the show. Am I boring? You think I’m living too fast or too slow?
Am I just background for you while you are on your phone? Is anyone else out there or am I just on my own. And so on and so on. I don’t know if he wrote it to vine like this for me, but it really brings to light my self criticism and not wanting to know, but it still sucking in the end most times.
I definitely think you should react to the streamer bit
I heard you say you read every comment, so I figured I'd say - hey, I love your channel! Whenever a new one pops up I always watch. That's all - partly it's Bo Burnham, but theres plenty response channels covering it, and I only watch 2 or 3 of the channels doing it, and you're at the top! If you're bored sometime, I did a reaction to 3 reaction videos to WTTI. Peace
The streamer bit is hilarious, a reaction to that would be great 😂
I have actually heard some criticisms of Inside. The good one is from F.D Signifier about "White Liberal Performative Art," which is actually more analysis than criticism. But I've also heard bad criticisms from competitive online leftists falling over themselves to find some purity test to cancel him over. So, in addition to worrying about whether people were going to enjoy his art or laugh at his jokes, he might have been worried about a Twitter mob.
the worst 'criticism' i've seen of him was a reactor who saw "white womman's instagram', thought it was all about making fun of stupid bitches on instagram, talked over the final verse that gives the entire song context, and then had all the comments roast him for being an idiot.
I did see one person recently say they watched the special for the first time and ended up not liking it and called it a flop. They weren't being super harsh but it did surprise me. I have seen other people dislike it but usually those are people who either just don't like Bo or prefer his old stuff
A flop with 6 emmy nominations 🤷♀️
It's kind of funny how anxious Burnham is about his work and what people will think about, when the reaction to the special is overwhelmingly positive.
We want you to watch ALL the bits!! 💕💕✨
He says he's doing it; we just don't get to watch…😆
@@pixelised lol 😂
The next three songs are pretty short too, but after that there comes a 5 minute song. ^^
Underrated track from the special.
After this, I really want him to watch In and Of Itself. I highly recommend to anyone else still stuck on Inside.
I would love a reaction to the streamer bit. :)
I agree that this one (and Bezos 1) are totally fucking bops. This one and Bezos 1 are def up there in my top five of Bo, and honestly all my top 5 are probably from this special.
I think that it is from the perspective of him as a producer/director, but also from the point of view of a comedian. He mentions it in Comedy and in Look Who's Inside Again (and in a later song, Goodbye but I won't spoil it by giving you the line) that like "should I be making jokes" and "trying to be funny while stuck in a room." Like when he was a UA-cam star the moment he posted a video he could get feed back, and when he was doing live shows he had instant feedback, but now doing a special where there's no one but him in the room he has no idea if his jokes are funny, if anything that he's saying is sticking. And that's gotta be terrifying for a comedian and for Bo in general, he wants to make other people happy, he wants to do all this for other people (as he's mentioned in previous specials) and to not know if he's done that is making him anxious. But at the same time, he doesn't want to know. Because as long as he isn't told what people think about it, he doesn't have to know if people didn't like it. It's a Schrodinger's cat situation. The audience neither likes nor hates the special so long as he doesn't open the box (doesn't hear the criticism).
I really felt for him in this song, like a bunch of the others you really feel for him, but this one I felt like I understood what he felt the most.
(Side note: watched this special with my girlfriend, and right as this song was starting she pulled out her phone so she could respond to a text message and when he got to the line where he asked "are you on your phone?" I looked over at her and had to laugh. She was like "I feel so attacked right now!")
Oh, no! I really wanted to see Twitch Bo!
Aw man I love your reactions. I'm looking forward to when you do the livestream. I'm excited for you to see the rest of the special. I think I've watched it 30 times by now. It had to have been so weird for him to spend a whole year on something with no idea how it would be received and no feedback in the moment. I wonder if he ran any of the songs or bits by his girlfriend for her opinion. I think most of the people who don't like it either don't "get" Millennial humor and experience, or felt like it was too "woke", or were old fans from back in the day who only like his edgyboi material.
the streamer bit isn't too long, you should react to it! enjoying your content :)
Hey, I just checked out your channel and when I realized you have only been making videos a month, I lost my mind. How have you grown so fast? You average like 8 thousand views a video, that's unbelievable for someone on UA-cam a month. What would you attribute your quick growth to besides your obviously good setup? I really am flabbergasted.
heeeeeeey, we already like you so much.
its ok, you can do wrong sometimes.
(and other times, remember, its just you thinking that there is something being wrong, just like bo)
[(thanks bo for make me find this channel)]
did you ever go live? looked out for you but didnt see you. have the bell notifs on
He replied to a different comment that UA-cam was making him wait 24 hours to do a Live so he had to cancel, but he might do one soon.
@@godzillaeyes oh okay, ty
For a moment I hoped you included the streamer bit
Pretty sure w/ the SM themes & media used, it's his take on what performers must feel about their contents' comment section…
I hope you do react to the Let's Play, it's kinda genius. Easily as worth a react as the songs and I haven't seen anyone else react to it.
You should watch the special in full and give a review after all this.
It seems the semitransparency did work! 😊
Were you a steamer?… 😉
I'm surprised you get any negative feedback at all: people who watch these reactions like Inside (and Bo's work in general) and you're among the best reactors to this content.
Was yesterday's live called off (on short notice)? 🤨
Haha funnily enough I just got a comment on my first video saying they tried numerous times to like me but can’t. It happens - can’t please everyone.
Had to call the stream off yesterday because UA-cam makes you wait 24 hours before you do your first one to verify and I wasn’t aware of that. Maybe tonight!
@@ChrisReactsToThings That's super weird! What's not to like about you? 😦 But don't worry as I'm sure you please enormously to many more people… 😄
UA-cam being difficult… 🙄😁
Creative people experience anxiety about their work all the time. I’m an anxious person. When I upload videos on my channel, there’s always a small bit of me saying that I’m not good enough, so why even do it? I am quite anxious when I record a video. Every single time. I still can’t even show my face yet. Lol
YES react to the streamer bit too
I've seen a few negative comments about, mostly from people you instinctively know won't like it in the first place. I think the worst thing that happened when he released Inside was some new viewers went down the Bo rabbit hole of his old songs/stand ups/videos and demanded he be cancelled because of those. That's I think why some of his videos in his channel now have comments disabled. I think Klan Kookout was even removed. I'm like, have you even seen Problematic?
He’s posted all of the songs from Inside on his official UA-cam channel…
Comment section turned off, of course.
Please come back!!
Definatly react to the streamer bit
You skipped the part where he said that he didn’t want to kill himself
Just blur the videos, don’t worry about it. We usually watch reaction videos of things we’ve watched before so we don’t need to see the video super detailed, just need to understand where you’re watching.
I'm going to comment here. So you get anxious 😈😈😈
I havent finished watching but I’m so hoping you will react to twitch stream skit.my fingers are crossed
Yes please react to the streamer bit it’s funny
I think the songs get in your feelings so deep because he might not be using autotune?
Ni idea de como llegue a tus videos, pero me encantan uwu
Please react to the streamer bit
U can section ur video uploads instead of commenting when the reaction starts...
Could try doing both! Think a lot of people wouldn’t expand the description over seeing pinned comment.
please don't make your commentary so long , it's twice long the original song
If there is stuff to unpack, and unpacking that stuff takes longer than the time to provide symbology/allegory, then why not?
I get that literary and cinematic analysis might not be your thing, but that's ok; there are a lot of people out there whom you can watch be mind-blown, and then do their “I liked it”, their outro schpiel, and in and out with less than 10 seconds added to the runtime of the video. And that's cool. But also cool is people who want to deconstruct it, to find themes and messages and easter eggs and callbacks; and doing that takes time. Especially if you are inventing your opinion and constructing your analysis on the fly, which I (and apparently, several others) think is great content.
Why demand that everybody be the same?
And why make “the same” be:
“Today I am going to watch... ...I really liked it. Like and subscribe”?
@@theory-in-motion you're absolutely right , I just think of a reaction video that's simply a guy " reacts " to a video comments once in a while during it , but the analysis goes under the " commentary " , and I came here to see the reaction as the title says , so i think and this is just me that he could " react " to the full video at first , then he do the analysis , even if he's gonna explain the video frame by frame , and that way the people who came to see the reaction would be pleased and the people who came to see the commentary would be pleased too
