    SONG STARTS AT 4:45
    This is from Bo's Make Happy Tour on December 3, 2015 in Baltimore, Maryland. It includes two hecklers one of whom Bo ended up ejecting from the show, and the entirety of Can't Handle This and his monologue before it. The heckler he ejected had been shouting out and being obnoxious throughout the entirety of the show so it was totally warranted! I hope you enjoy, the show was amazing and Bo was fantastic as usual!

      That's why some people do it. A lot of hecklers yell out the punchlines before the comedian gets to them, or if the joke mentions something like cancer they will yell out 'my sister died of cancer' to make the audience feel awkward about laughing at anymore jokes. Basically hecklers are cunts.

    Why would someone heckle minutes before the most important part of the show? His comedy shows end on an oddly metaphorical and introspective piece that is funny as well as expressing his anxieties and his unhappiness and it gives his silly comedy show a very deep and personal meaning, and to interupt that momentum is disrespectful, rude, and inconsiderate to those watching and Bo. Heckling is part of a live show, and in some instances can make a show even better, but damn thats just cruel.

    I watched an interview with him about this show. I was also really concerned about the parts about his mental health and not being happy but he said someone to the effect of "When I make jokes everyone laughs and no one things I'm racist or misogynistic but when I make jokes about being sad or depressed everyone says 'that's him, the real him' but I'm playing a character, it's a performance, it's theater. There is obviously truth to that with performance, but, like the funny parts, it's exaggerated for the show." Just in case anyone was worried, outside of performing he seems very well. I think it's genius how he performs.

I saw someone comment under the What special that “it’s like there was 12 people on stage” and now I feel silly that I never understood how much he exaggerated the depression/anxiety for his shows. I mean, yes his anxiety is a huge issue and is the reason why he hasn’t made anymore standup, but I’m glad it’s not as heavy as he makes it feel when he plays live.

    damn it had some really dark undertones at the end there... coming from a skinny, shy, introverted white kid who always hid behind comedy like Bo...
    "Watch as the skinny kid with a declining mental health, attempt to give you what he cant give himself"
    "you dont even know the half of it" and his very last words sounded like he was holding back tears....
    i swear i havent cried in like 8 years and this made me teary eyed

      this kid knows how to fucking talk about real shit and make you laugh and if you don't listen carefully enough or if you don't pay attention, you don't even realise that this is a sad individual talking about himself and also speaking to other sad individuals, all whilst trying to make people see the reality behind the comedy. He's a genius. His composing and lyricist abilities are amazing and he's both witty and honest. I've always loved watching him because of the stuff he's actually talking about. I don't know any other comedian who can make me rethink life, get emotional, and laugh until I can't breathe all at the same time. He has that perfect blend of saying some seriously depressing shit and then doing the comedic equivalent of "lol" at the end of it so people don't get too worried.

      MrTopGunnar Sorry, but what exactly is Bo referring to when he states that he "attempts to give you what he can't give himself"? What is he attempting to give us? Does he mean a good time? I sound stupid probably, but I'm tired right now and not thinking straight.

    8:50 is really real. He's not making jokes, it seems like he actually feels that way. He's just expressing it in a comedic way. If you ever watch any interviews with Bo Burnham it seems he really does have a love/hate relationship with his career and the nature of it. I'm just glad that he is in tune with himself enough to realize that he wouldn't get gratification from just delivering shitty jokes that are guaranteed to get a laugh from a drunk audience; he actually wants to express himself while giving joy to other people in a down-to-earth way that people really relate to on a deeper level.

    • @brendans.8738
      @brendans.8738 8 років тому +21

      Bo actually just did an AMA on Reddit and said exactly this. He said this part is the most heartfelt performance he's ever given, because it reflects his actual feelings. He said that he is actually very anxious on stage and apparently prone to panic attacks, and the pressure of performance really takes a toll. By sharing it with his audience it helped just a little.

    • @phrozenover781
      @phrozenover781 8 років тому +1

      Remember though, he says that it's still a dramatified version of the truth. It's still his theatrical persona. Paraphrasing his words-"if i make jokes they understand that it's not true, but if i talk about more serious things they think it's all completely honest."

    I watch the finale to Can’t Handle This almost 3x a week now.
    I feel like Bo‘s message to us, his audience, had so many layers but the message I received through this song is that no one tells you everything that comes along with the dreams you set for yourself. When the cost of having what you want gets hidden, one day you end up getting what you asked for, but it’s nothing like you imagined.
    I don’t know who else out there knows tho feeling, but it hit me, and honestly knowing that others like Bo feel it makes me feel more okay feeling it too. I’m so grateful he made this.
    I know Bo feels alone, and I feel alone a lot, but I’m just glad I’m not the only one.

    Bo can go from Pringle's cans to the complexities of mental health and how it can affect a performer and reminds us that behind every joke, every act, there is a person just like us who has their own struggles and that despite having a platform of sorts they may not be able to express themselves in the ways that matter the most in regards to their own well-being.
    This introspective and insightful commentary laced with humor is precisely why I love Bo Burnham and his work. I think his line about giving the audience what he can't give himself is especially poignant. His comedic creativity and openness about the person he is and what he goes through is just beautiful to me.

    I have watched ALL of the Pringles can performances and I LOVE them so much. This one is very, very amazing and impressive.....however, I do not prefer it above the other performances at all. I think it is equally as great as the other performances in it's own way, but the others have been so wonderful that this one can not surpass any of the others. Plus it isn't better than the bo burnham performances of other songs. But it's equal because it's very impressive!!!! However, in this performance "Bo Burnham" is very, very confident, almost too confident and PERFECT.....in his other performances and other songs, he is still very confident, but there is a bit of a vulnerable quality that comes through. Some people might think that isn't a good thing, but I think that quality shows more of his personality and that gives the audience someone they can relate to.
    The camera is a bit wobbly here, but other than that, I think this is a very, very, very impressive view of bo burnham...a little more up close than the other pringles performances...very, very amazing work from the production crew and bo burnham!!!
    But if I were paying to see him perform, I would want to see the other performances and then this one too, but not this one and not the others.
    Sometimes little imperfections can be really attractive too. Example: I always watch Bo Burnham's hands when he plays keyboards...I love his hands..his fingers are long..some people might say that's an imperfection, but to me it is not; Chopin had very long fingers too and that's why he could reach more than an octave easily with his thumb and pinky..I love how Bo Burnham's hands look on the keyboard, with their long fingers...reminds me of Chopin or other really cool pianists :.)

I love all the other songs just as much, where you can see all of Bo burnham's facial expressions.
