    Bo took a five year break from performing after he did this special. You can kinda see why. In 2020, he was preparing to return to the stage when covid locked everything down. So he wrote, performed and produced the special "Inside" by himself in one room of his house. He talks about it in "All Eyes On Me", which would be good to do next. Then "How The World Works". But at some point you need to watch the whole "Inside" special start to finish because it's totally unique and very very Bo. It's the most Bo Burnham thing that Bo Burnham has ever Bo Burnhamed.

      I like watching reactions to parts of Inside. But at the same time, I think the people doing the reactions are severely robbing themselves by not sitting down, alone, and watching it from beginning to end, to experience it in its entirety. Bo Burnham is legitimately a genius, and I do not say that lightly. There are probably only a handful of true geniuses in the public eye, and he is one of the best. A lot of the things Bo says in 'Inside' I think people don't look at too closely, but when you do, you'll discover they're not just jokes but extremely meaningful observations that you can think about for months or years.

    So, one thing about Bo is he plans his shows down to every second. His crew knows literally everything that is supposed to happen in the show. The 3rd scream in this song was not planned and that told his crew that he was in the middle of a panic attack while on stage. It’s real and raw and shows just how bad everything was for him at this point in his life.

    The “can’t handle this” refers to him having live panic attacks on stage during this tour. He’s even noted that in this performance he was mid panic attack. So the song is literally “I can’t handle this exact moment right now.” Then on top of that there’s layers of judgement and deconstruction of performance (a popular theme of Bo’s), self deprecation about his importance, and the struggle of being happy. It’s a great song

    Thought provoking bo songs. “We think we know you” is awesome! Also “are you happy” and “left brain/right brain” also “art is dead” and of course “all eyes on me”

    The “cannot give himself” line hits me, but the “I know I’m not a doctor. I’m a pussy. I put on a silly show. I should probably just shut up and do my job, so here I go” hits me harder.
    We continuously tell artists, athletes, celebrities of all sorts to just “shut up and do your job” when it comes to their mental health, world views, etc etc. it’s ridiculous honestly. This was a few years before, but it reminds me of that Fox News woman who told Lebron and KD to “shut up and dribble” when they were outspoken on police brutality in 2018.
    Bo takes us then right back into the bit. Into the hook about the ingredients because “you can tell them anything if you just make it funny make it rhyme”. He’s begging us to understand he isn’t joking. He’s begging us for empathy.
    Then, in the midst of a live panic attack, he drops the mic and wishes his audience “goodnight I hope you’re happy”. Happy with the show, happy and had a good night out that you deserve. Happy that you drove me to constant anxiety. Happy that I can’t live with or without any of you because I decided to post a UA-cam video for my brother when I was 16, and now this is my entire life. Then he exits, and doesn’t return for 5 years.
    Bo’s story is chilling, honest, and important.

    There's context missing in a speech he makes before this song during the special. He lifts the lights up and talks directly to the audience. He speaks about performing, and how his generation (1990) has grown up as a generation of performers due to social media, and our desire to "perform" to everyone, all of the time. He caps it off with "I know very little about anything, but what I do know is if you can live your life without an audience you should do it."

    One thing that's stood out to me is Bo saying "I hope your happy." It sounds like he genuinely hopes that everyone enjoyed the show, but there's a small part of him saying it sarcastically as "Look at what I've become, how I've declined. You've helped contribute," if only a little. But that's just my interpretation.

    A lot of fans had the theory that he used the overstuffed burrito as a metaphor for his struggle with fame and audience: "I wouldn't have asked for all of this if only I knew..." Bo has since denied this, that it was just intended as something humorous to focus on before he got real. But I still really like this interpretation, and I think it's a great way to illustrate what many suddenly-famous people feel.

    The Song "Are You Happy" is the actual last song that this special ends on, and I first heard it when I was at my personal lowest of depression and was one thing that helped jolt me into getting help and beginning to overcome it.

    He has another rant called about Burnham-RANT . It’s great and is more of a rap. I think you guys would like it. Bo Burnham can actually rap and has a really really good pen. He got famous from all the views he got with his UA-cam when he was like 15 or 16.

    The Kanye Rant (from the 2015 live show, "Make Happy." It's an excellent prequel to the Netflix special, "Inside" which Bo wrote, directed, filmed, and produced all by himself while in quarantine at the beginning of Covid. Watch Inside from front to back in order for the full effect, but if you want a logical next review, and you want to fast forward to the logical sequel, view "All Eyes On Me." You won't be disappointed.

    19.00 minutes in "a true empath." He feels everything so deeply and it gets hard to handle, but at the same time, he also wants to have fun with life and not feel things so deeply. (I relate a lot)

    I think the last line of “I hope you are happy” can be read in two ways: both his actual desire that people be happy but also in a sarcastic way. Like “I hope you’re happy that you’ve put me in this situation” but both ways hit hard

    I've been a fan of Bo Burnham since he made funny songs for UA-cam back in HS, he and I are the same age so it's been awhile. I've watched a lot of reaction channels react to his stuff, I really enjoy watching people get introduced to his work, it reminds me of how I grew to love his stuff. But you guys are among my favorites right now because most hiphop channels go over his funny raps where you guys delve into his deeper works, and you actually seem to care and appreciate his vulnerability. Ya'll don't call him corny or cringy, ya'll hear what he's saying and I appreciate that. If you haven't yet, check out the song Art is Dead, super deep and runs along the vein of his emotional stuff.

    oh this one. this one, plus "are you happy", makes me so emotional to this day, especially now after he came back. i became a fan a few months after he retired from stands up and it absolutely broke my heart to get to this one song knowing that this was his actual goodbye to the stage. and now he's back! it still feels unreal, it was so final that he was never coming back at the time. so now this one hits even harder than it already did. it is, to this day, one of his most emotional songs to me. and you two really Got it which is so cool

  • @bakuhakudraws5603
    @bakuhakudraws5603 Рік тому +1

    That line at the end where he says 'thank you good night, I hope you're happy', he's talked about in interviews that it's half-and-half: it was both a genuine sentiment of "I hope you guys enjoyed this show" while also being an insult, like "Look at what you've done to me, I hope you're happy with yourselves", and while he did this tour, he would mean it in a different way each night.

  • @gwynbliedd
    @gwynbliedd Рік тому

    The burrito is a metaphor for his life as a famous person. He wouldn’t have gotten half of “this” if he knew how it would truly be. He needs his fans, but he hates his need for fans, he needs the attention, but he’s afraid to disappoint the fans. He repeats, “I don’t think I can handle this right now”, basically saying the stress of this dichotomy with his fans/fame has outgrown his personal tolerance for attention. You guys were spot on, he’s an introvert who has to put on a funny man persona. That persona is slowing tearing his mental health down to a level of sadness he can’t cope with anymore.

    The whole burito thing is a metaphor of life... so when he says "I don't think that I can handle this" it's a literal and very poetically beautiful way of saying "I can't cope".

  • @drakonik2782
    @drakonik2782 2 роки тому +1

    I love your insight and banter! Definitely up there amongst my favorite Bo Burnham reactions!
    As I'm sure you've noticed by now, Bo has an incredible way of layering his comedy and music with real, thought-provoking lines and messages. You've barely scratched the surface of it all, and I hope you keep going!
    I think why Bo Burnham fans find reaction videos is because we can't re-experience watching Bo for the first time - laughing but also unraveling and realizing what all his shit means - so we live vicariously through you, hoping to see those "Aha!" moments we've had over the years.
    You can watch random clips here and there, but if you REALLY want to understand the underlying message of his latest works, you should consider going through his specials in order. Maybe watch two or three clips from a special, watch the whole thing on your own time, record a post-viewing reaction so we can see what you got out of the entire special, and do the same for the next special(s).
    Cheers guys, welcome to the fan club!

He's incrediblly talented. but i wanted to mention your comments about him being secure. this was actually his last show for a while because he was having panic attacks on stage and really suffering mentally. i may be commenting early but this is kind of his swan song for a while. Excited to watch more of y'all content. All love 🙌

    This is so nuts because everything is a metaphor. He talks about the Pringle can with that being his career. How he tried to take it one step at a time but everything just hit him all at once, “Spilling all over his face” and then he references chipotle, and how he kept piling things on not realizing when it was too much and everything spilled out, meaning his mental health declined. Shit is nuts

  • @megstorts2684

    I’ve been looking for a reaction to this where someone will actually listen to what he’s saying in the breakdown of this song. He “disappeared” for 5 years after this special & after watching this and his new special Inside, you can see what happened and what he’s dealt with all this time - he was transparent then and still is now, it just takes an open mind to listen and hear what he’s really saying. Thanks for this vid, I’m enjoying all these reactions. :) Take the time to watch Inside, it’s worth it!
