- Man 2020-2021 Bo is just different. You still have that quick comical side but also a darker more serious side. And whoever says he can’t sing is tone deaf. Amazing artist

I saw someone on Twitter describe Bo Burnham as the band playing on the titanic as it’s sinking and I’ve never found a better comparison
damn that hits hard.....
holy crap.
Yup
It's also today's We Didn't Start the Fire, with the appropriate calmness of post Trump post covid resigned acceptance
@@explodingplant2 no it isn't, I hate this comparison and idiots keep repeating it. We Didn't Start the Fire was a classic boomer take of no responsibility this song is the opposite of that.
"20 000 years of this, 7 more to go." "The ocean at your door." "Quiet comprehending of the ending of it all." "What can I say, we were overdue." This is a requiem to a world we are killing and I fucking can't deal.
The realization that “but it’ll be over soon, just wait”, isn’t actually being said as a comfort, but as a warning of what is to come, and that it will all be ending sooner than you think.
“That unapparent summer air in early fall”
@@KatBambino... It is a comfort, his whole thing is that its already too late, and in many ways he's right. No matter what happens, words arent enough to fix what we’ve done. It is a comfort to know that the monotony and futility will end soon. No matter how much it hurts to admit it.
20 000 years of this, 7 more to go - refers to both the length of time civilisation has been around for, and also the interglacial period we're in should be just about up. That's right, when the climate deniers say we're actually heading for another ice age, technically there is truth to that - we *SHOULD* be. But what we're going through now is not how it works when heading into one
Love this song so much. Nothing else I've heard has quite captured the casual existential dread we're all living with right now. The world slides toward oblivion, and we're just vibing and trying not to go insane.
"the casual existential dread we're all living with" Bruh these are the words I was searching for to describe this song and how it feels to exist in the world these days.
You have summed up this song so succinctly .
Perfectly said. That’s what “that funny feeling” feels like to me but every person has a different interpretation
This comment needs to be an official addendum to the song now. They both perfectly sum up this post postmodern, post Pax Americana, post Malone world that we find ourselves existing in, but not really living in.
It definitely feels better when the casual existential dread is just referred to as “that funny feeling”
"The quiet comprehending of the ending of it all"
There's no going back from that realisation.
Googling derealisation, hating what you find.
I asked my therapist if there was a way to "unlearn" things before and she just said "No."
Thank you, this is a lullaby for the end of the world, and his voice is so freaking beautiful. Haunting.
Oh wow, that is such a great way to put it.
amazingly accurate description of this song, holy fuck
I'm never describing this song in any other way. Wow.
The special hurt me in ways I wasn't ready for, but this song broke me. It's the anthem for Millenial Nihilism while we're living through our 35th world-shattering event
it makes me so happy watching someone realize that "That Funny Feeling" is referring to existential dread
Everything between “full agoraphobic” to the line “hating what you find” describes a long-winded panic better than anything I’ve ever heard in my entire life
That funny feeling- just a daily grappling with so many things that were never supposed to be associated with each other. The resulting feeling that we are displaced in reality because reality is effectively becoming displaced. It can mess up the mind. And for sure it starts to feel like it's all ending- the world takes on an unreal, confused edge when you notice it, like how dreams feel upon waking.
At any rate, try the song "Comedy" from the same special. It's delightfully entertaining.
Delightfully entertaining, and yet serious too. That was one of the first songs of his I heard and the one that convinced me that I would like him, that he was a kindred spirit. 😊
You say the whole worlds ending, honey it already did
@@bertcompton that's from All Eyes On Me and is referring to having a severe panic attack/developing panic disorder
The line that always guts me in this one is “twenty thousand years of this, seven more to go” - in reference to the Metronome countdown clock in Times Square - it hit me like a sucker punch the first time I heard it. I absolutely love this song - the vibe I think he’s going for is “amateur indie musician at an open mic/bonfire,” hence the “sorry, I’m not very good, but I’m gonna play anyway” disclaimer at the start. The “ocean at your door” line is also in reference to climate change, I believe. We are all perusing the world’s information on our phones while the ocean quietly rises around us, could even go so far with the metaphor as to say the ocean is knocking at the door to try and grab our attention before it’s too late. Idk. Regardless. This song (this whole special, really) is a gut punch and a commiseration and a condemnation and catharsis all in one. Brilliant. Thanks for the react.
It's also a reference to the age of human civilisation in a general sense, and the interglacial period that allowed it to become established and flourish - which SHOULD be ending now and thus another ice age (which is ironic that climate deniers use the 'actually we're going into another ice age now' argument). Like not to start any stan wars but f*ck T.Swift being called the greatest living songwriter when we have this man here. I'm a pretty good wordsmith but I can't even dream of touching his level. Nobody can
“A gift shop at the gun range, a mass shooting at the mall” destroys me every time. 😢
I think the funny feeling is essentially existential dread. The song reads kind of like a rundown of all the random news lines of the day, and some it’s happy, some of it’s terrifying, but the main reaction is feeling insignificant and unable to do anything about any of it other than simply consume it and wait for the next thing to happen. Just that realization that everything is out of your control, and that’s either comforting or scary or both. Idk that’s just my hot take - it’s a great song! Very satirical Bob Dylan type vibe for me.
Also, another seemingly irrelevant idea I had about the “obeying all the traffic laws in grand theft auto 5” line is that I think he’s inferring that we’re headed towards this ‘metaverse’ era and I think gta 5 was kind of the first big semi-metaverse playground for people, and when he, somewhat casually, says obeying all the traffic laws, I think he means like eventually we’ll even be policed online because the metaverse will be where we live our lives. Even that will be a place we can be controlled when the point was supposed to be it’s a place where we can do whatever we want. Just like what happens to everything, I suppose. Idk maybe a reach but just an idea I had when I was lit re-listening to this lol.
I cant do anything but cry every time I hear this song, "that funny feeling" it's getting more present each day that passes.
Yea, I didn't watch this special until a couple months ago.
It is still super fucking relevant, and the scariest shit ever. As people fight over LGBTQ people STILL, and just straight up deny the reality of climate change. And don't even get me started on guns.
This shit is throwing me into a panic attack. But I love the song. Helps ground me a bit.
This is the song that I'll look back on in the future and think of when someone asks what "the pandemic years" were like.
“20000 years of this, 7 more to go” is just absolutely gutting.
My interpretation of this is hes basically listing off mundane activities that people fill their days with as distractions and in a way conscious ingnoring all of the horrible things that are happening in the world but theres "that funny feeling" that everyone knows something big is going to happen soon. Super somber, this one cuts deep.
1:17 I like how Cliff stands up for him like a true friend would.
The most soothing campfire song about the end of the world. The theme song of Existential Dread the Musical. And something new to notice every time. It took awhile before I realized the irony of HAND delivered by a drone, for example. And I love how, unlike most of the songs in the special that end abruptly, this one just slowly fades into black and silence..."The quiet comprehending of the ending of it all."
I love how all these reactions look exactly like the reaction Bo did for "Unpaid intern". That's gotta be the most meta thing ever done. LOVE IT
I thing this is his magnum opus, it hit that exact funny feeling that we the internet as a community feel with every interaction after 2020 to now.
Bo Burnham - Sad
It's off his "What" special and it cracks me up everytime (Hey Jamie says it's humorous at best but she's wrong) and I really think you'll enjoy it.
Extremely funny? Jeff lol. It’s humorous, at best. Lol
Bo Burnham's "Are You Happy," the last song from his special Make Happy gets me every time. Especially the last line.
The piano in that one is just so beautiful! Probably my favorite piano piece of his.
Its a song about all the things that aren't quite ironic but just give you a funny feeling.
I play guitar a little bit. And love seeing these chord progressions back and forth. He really is good.
Love this song & your reaction to it. You should do “How the World Works” next! It’s also from INSIDE.
YES
I think he already met Socko. Check his vids page.
@@RemedialRob he did “How the World Works” after this video.
@@diamondninja1027 yeah I was just letting you know it was done. Badly worded on my part.
So nice to hear his singing voice. This song resonates.
How does this not have a billion views yet?!
There’s a line in this song that says “total Agoraphobic” Agoraphobia is the fear of is a type of anxiety disorder in which you fear and avoid places or situations that might cause you to panic and make you feel trapped, helpless or embarrassed.
Which bo has stated before he has 😱😱😱
yes, it's what all eyes on me is about, very specifically about the first panic attacks he had on stage while filming Make Happy (hence the line 'look in my eye' instead of eyes - he means camera lens). You can see at the end of the Kanye Rant, the look of utter terror on his face at the end where he very quickly says 'goodnight i hope you're happy' and literally drops the mic and runs off stage. The final yell/scream in the song was not scripted and if you know how Bo operates you know that's NOT something he does, ever
He’s a master at creating such happy melodies and pairing them with dark, thought-provoking lyrics.
I will always click on one of your reactions and this one I clicked faster than most! I think the trick with this song is that the whole thing is serious. We're in an age where ALL of this information is thrown at us at once, and some may give us that funny feeling on its own; but when it is TRULY thrown at us all at once, such as in the format of this song, you can't help but feel the looming dread of it all. One second we see Logan Paul and the next we hear of a mass shooting. The age of Information has been our downfall, it seems; and nothing sums it up better than this song.
On a less grim note, Sexting and Facetime with my Mom are both funnier songs of his! Although, I haven't seen enough people react to Comedy (though I'm a bit biased cause it's my favorite)!
Hope you're doing well, friend :D
Same! Comedy is also my favorite and doesn't get enough love (IMO)
Bo is only a few months younger than me. This song and 30 both hit me so hard. When I couldn't put into words what i was feeling so i sent this song and 30 to my mom. He hits the existential dread right on the head.
The "funniest" songs from his Inside special are
Comedy
How the world works
Sexting
Facetime with my mom
The others are an existential crisis served in a witty way.
You and I have a completely different take on "How the world works". Probably the most depressing song Bo has ever done, in my opinion.
@@dameonkYou missed the air quotes there above funniest.
I see your point. It is very depressing, but if you watch it all by itself (like in a reaction channel) and you do not know the context to Bo's work and situation Socko will be "funny" as many other reaction channels reacted to it.
The whole of Inside was a existential crisis to me personally and Socko was a big part of it.
Honestly, you really should watch this movie he released. There are many great single tracks. But the whole movie is a concept that was one of the most fulfilling experiences I had from New art in a long time.
Which movie?
@@nikkinease554 INSIDE.
Great reaction. It’s so nice to see someone just get it without trying to make it about themselves by showing off how much they get it. You clearly genuinely get and like him and are not just giving your subscribers what they want.
This was one of my favorite songs he did in the 'Inside' special. Glad you enjoyed it!
This is prolly my favourite inside song, it's serious but funny parts to, but this really shows to me he would be a great singer (no comedic)
I actually got a tattoo that represents this song. It’s a bonfire with trees behind it that says “that funny feeling” under it. Planning to get a Tim Minchin tattoo to go near it
The best part of getting out of bed is the existential dread.
THANK YOU CLIFF FOR THIS!!!
I love how you defended his singing ❤
Everything he sings about in this song are literally things he has said, in various interviews over the years, that bug him bc, to him, they don't fit, and add to that funny feeling, as if these things are contributing to the end of civilization somehow.
7 years refers to the Climate Clock, which says that 7 years is the tipping point...but if you remember, in All Eyes On Me, he says to us(about the world ending) Honey, it already did, and I still wonder if he meant ending from Covid, or the Climate Clock countdown hurtling towards it's, and our civilization's, enevitable end.
Derealization is something he and many others have dealt with in this information-saturated life.
This song is where I had to stop watching the special and sob. I felt the existential dread in every word that was offset by the folksy pop sound of the song...perfect satire. It took me months before I could listen to this without crying over it's meaning...and still, I found the dark humor in it comforting, because, with this one song, he has woken up so many people. I hope yer Dad likes it, too.
You KNOW I want more Bo! (although I do check out other reactions, too...came for Bo, but stayed and subbed bc your reactions are genuine and intelligently expressed)
3.14 APPLE PI is the bravest and most humble rap, Bo says, and I think you would enjoy it, too.
Every line is an oxymoron in a sense.
Googling derealization is the line that hit me hardest. I suffer from anxiety, depression and panic attacks as well; had my first attack around 6/7. 32 now and it’s still a constant battle. Bo’s work has helped me through some rough times, we’re the same age and I found his stuff when he first started. Seeing him out here like that shows me I’m not alone in my struggle and helps me feel less crazy.
The feeling of staring at all this information on your phone and trying not to go insane
I'm glad you reacted to this, my friend. It sticks with you.
The book on getting better being hand delivered by a drone part after he mentioned agoraphobia kind of hit me hard when I first heard it, and tbh still does. I started having more agoraphobic tendencies in the years before the pandemic but still managed to get out for some things, and then when the pandemic hit and everyone needed to stay home it made hiding away the right thing to do and I clung to that. Because of other health conditions everything I got was either brought over by my bf or ordered online and delivered. The things that helped me get out before like needing to go shopping went away, and even my doctors appointments that may have helped me were via phone. That along with how heartbreaking it was to see so many others suffering and losing family just became too much and even once there was a vaccine and things started opening up going out still felt like too much. >.
Glad you did this one..truly an amazing song
My guy dropping everything today 😭 cliff we see you and appreciate you
At the beginning when he says he can't play or sing I think it kick-starts the whole theme of the song since he knows he can do both. A little added layer of genius.
when he takes it sort of serious he gives me a serious john denver vibe. love this tune.
Watching songs from his "Inside" special out of context and out of sequence like this really robs them of so much value and impact. Please, PLEASE, watch the special cover to cover instead. The content deserves it.
That quiet comprehending of the ending of it all…
Oo I'm early. Interestingly, Bo released this video back in the summer, and unlisted or removed it a few hours later. There's a few react channels that have reactions to it from then too!
This song is so strangely super comforting to me, it just never fails to sort of lull me into a calm
On top of that, I'm someone who struggles a Lot with Hard dissociation.
Struggle might not be the right word bcs the thing with it is that you can't really struggle against it bcs you don't even know you're doing it except during, for me, very rare and very brief moments of clarity. At my level it's completely subconscious and it affects everything, memories, thoughts, and emotions. I haven't had a clarity moment in so long now (2 years maybe) that I have no idea what my current state with it really is.
There's not really any help for it either (most I've tried to talk to don't even know what it is) And even if there was, do you want to? since dissociation is something that happens when something is too much for you to handle... so what would undoing it do to you?
Gift shop at the gun range, mass shooting at the mall is a juxtoposition or a flip flop. A gift shop is a small place to shop in a place you go shooting and the shooting at the mall is a lot of shooting at a place you go to shop.
I think the song his voice sounds best in is “All Eyes On Me.” That would be a good one for your dad to watch.
So many of the lines in this song are incredible. I noticed you passed over one of my favourite lines relatively quickly, as it seems funny on the surface.
"reading pornhub's terms of service" seems to refer to being so numb and done with the site itself that you just read the terms, since you have nothing interesting anymore.
"and going for a drive" sets up the expectation that bo is leaving the house, but we know he isnt. and its followed up in "and obeying all the traffic laws- in grand theft auto five"
It's not saying he left the house, its saying he craves normalcy so bad (but is so agoraphobic and unable to leave the home) that he mimics his real life in the game (as some people have pointed out, a very violent "do whatever you want" type of game). He just wants a normal life again- a time before covid and all this misery.
There were actually a few articles written about this, and about why games like animal crossing became so popular over the pandemic. People enjoy playing games about daily life and monotany- our recration becomes a replacement for our own lives.
Am i looking into this too much? maybe. Am I late? maybe. But i wanted to say it
Glad to see the Netflix is a Joke set come through - this song still hits.
I know this might be a little intense of a recommendation, and it's not really for the channel (unless you wanted it to be, I won't stop you :D) but I really think you'd appreciate CJ the Ex's video essay on this Bo Burnham special... it's intense... both cause they're intense and because it's over two hours long, worth it though, every minute is full of heart and soul.
Great vid as always ❤
"Ocean at your door" was a climate change reference
To all fans of this song: I really love how it has inspired a bunch of other songwriters to write additional verses, creating a sort of collective grief for our moment. Of the many such videos out there, I particularly recommend this one by Philip Labes -- ua-cam.com/video/6VagPcuwKjc/v-deo.html (and no, I'm not connected to him in any way other than supporting his patreon -- I just really love it).
I read this song as being Bo scrolling his feed and just reporting what he sees, and every once in a while getting that "funny" twinge of "oh, wait, something BIG is FUCKED UP. 😳" and then most people just drift back to scrolling.
This is a song about waking up to the world around us.
Literally watch his entire special "Inside"... the whole special is absolutely incredible!
Probably the lightest/ upbeat ones from inside are "white woman's Instagram", 'how the world works", and "problematic" but they all have dark bits in them
White Woman's Instagram makes me cry.
He obeys the traffic laws in gta5 because he's trying to have a sense of normalcy and ironically he can only get that in a game made to break all the laws
Love the Bo reactions. Hoping to see tool the pot very soon🌀 spiral out brother
lots of his older stuff had gut punches too. for example, "art is dead", "from god's perspective", "sad", "nerds"
I think he knows something we don't know and was trying to give us all a warning be good and make the most of every day stay safe
I didn't really get this song the first time I heard it within the context of Inside. However at this point I've watched it so many times I cant help but cry.
This was all like, way over your head.
Wait did I miss this one when it went up?! Wtf
this is the one that broke me.
Hey!! I love your content so much
That means a lot to me. I’m glad you’re enjoying my friend 🙏. I appreciate you.
Can never get enough of Bo Burnham! Would also love to see you react to league music, namely "enemy" by imagine dragon or "Rise" they're my personal favorites! Thanks cliff keep up the great work.
@6:40 to @7:40 you were speechless Cliff. The song hit you hard!
@cliffbeats bro I really appreciate the appreciation you show for everything you react to. It’s frustrating when people don’t get the message but they just say shit and don’t even try to actually understand the lyrics. Keep up the good work. Ps I know this comment is months late so there’s no way you’ll see it but on the off chance you do… just know you’re awesome
The most common sentiment I've seen here on what the setup as a whole is referencing is Elliot Smith, but I'm pretty sure it's meant to be The Simpsons, James Taylor singing about planes crashing down to earth while the astronauts are stuck on a shuttle that wont be able to re-enter without burning up because homer broke the door
this song reminds me of that start of The Sound of Silence. Quiet feeling of nothing really matters, things are too far gone
It's just like a social media feed, or watching tik tok. Just so much stuff, big and small, so many emotions. All while the earth is dying at the same time
Always love bo
Here to request Creator Made an Animal again, and thanks for putting these out for all of us
I love Bo so much..
This song fucked me up the first time I heard it and none of the subsequent listens have been any kinder. It's so phenomenal, I love it!
That funny feeling, meaning fear, self loathing, terror
Hey Cliff. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of his newer stuff that is light hearted and funny. He's VERY serious. I guess the "lightest" in his newest special would either be "Sexting" or "Facetime with my Mom." And "30" is a good look at getting older, since you mentioned that. Cheers, love your reacts!
I noticed a close connection to alot of people with anxiety and depression moving towards Nihilism in terms of views. I found myself as a buddhist becoming Nihilistic as well. I have the theory that we are more aware of how painful the world can be, which kinda shift us towards not believing nothing really matters at the end of the day.
I know this is over a year to late but I've watched most of your videos reacting to Bo and the thing you're really missing is the context. You really really have to watch his Netflix special "Inside" as a whole before you can really get these songs. They work pretty good as stand alone pieces but the thing as a whole is so much better than the sum of it's parts. The "funny" part of it is the overall scope of what he did. It's like one long art piece/comedy bit about mental health, covid, isolation, introspection etc. It starts fairly light and happy and gets darker as it goes on. He's spiraling into depression and sadness and madness the further in it gets and as the year passes with him stuck inside working on his special. It's fucking brilliant. The songs themselves don't do that justice without being in the proper order and context. Do yourself a favour and just watch it all. Would really love to hear your take on it after than.
You already know how I feel about "Inside", but just a random question... Do you watch wrestling, by chance? You mentioned you watched a lot of fighting.. anyway. I'm glad that wrestling is in the place that it is right now, with AEW and NJPW leading the way with storytelling and intense action. Anyway. Sorry for nerding out in the comments all the time!
Newer, super funny bo Burnham: problematic.
He's looking back at the problematic stuff he's done in the past and it's just a banger.
But the magic is that he's able to talk about something that should be funny like reading pornhubs terms of service, or obeying laws in GTA, but make them come across as anything but funny (at least in my mind). Even silly stuff like that that should be funny can cause that funny feeling of existential dread
I feel like That Funny Feeling is this generation's It's the End of the World as We Know It (and I feel fine)
Bro you gotta get on a Jon Bellion train, check out Adult Swim or New York Soul Pt. 2 for some insane bars and musicality
Think he was just putting out all the absurdity of it all (our dumb decisions), what some of us choose to do and putting in quite frankly how confused we truly are, and not quite knowing why this feeling.
Dad are you watching?. You feel that
You gotta do "All Eyes on Me" if you haven't yet
It was his first reaction to Bo Burnham
You're so handsome bro🥰😘😍❤️😋
5:01 pretty sure the "Reading Phub's ToS" was bc they also track your online activity, like facebook.
it's We Didn't Start the Fire depresso version
This one in pair with the fake Ted Talk skit (the one where he has like 3 voices going all at once) from his Outtakes work really well together (if you haven’t seen that one yet)!
While this one talking a bit on irony in a lot of ways, the existential dread of the post-modern age is a common theme between both this one and the fake Ted Talk section The ending of the Ted Talk one gives me major chills every time tho…
If someone ever asks you to describe existential dread in a song, just play them this.
thank you
I love this a lot every single line is in reference to derealization.
