Fun fact: George Carlin and Steve Martin started out as Street Performers, and both knew how to juggle, so Right Brain wasn't technically wrong.
That's the joke
@@applepioneer1831 it's like people don't understand comedy and satire. Just like the dude on the left didn't understand how the robot could say thw n word... that's the literal point, sheesh
I did not know that, thank you. xD That makes it way better. Here I thought it was a random, out of place little nonsense humour bit. I love both those gents' comedy, so I am glad to learn something new about them.
As a huge fan of both Bo and Carlin's work, thanks for sharing that, I had no idea.
Bo is the first person, in my opinion, since George Carlin to command words in the same way. To be an absolute wordsmith that creates thoughts and feelings in such a powerful way. I've never heard anyone else command the stage and words the way George Carlin did and Bo does.
I can’t wait till you watch “We Think We Know You”. One of Bo’s most creative performances.
If you’re looking to go way back, please check out “Words, Words, Words”. You’ll be blown away.
So agree!
100%
this this this!!!
we think we know you is what made me fall in love with bo's music
this for sure
Bro really said: "Nah, cancel that computer!" 😂😂
Do From God's Perspective! It has an amazing message and it's funny, and it's about religion so you'll have a lot to discuss
Bro i think that'll be right up our alley. People have been recommending it. Should be coming soon. Thanks for your interaction fam!!!
De
Idk if ur familiar with Rant (not the Kanye one), but it’s interesting to think about what changed in his approach to this subject in those few years between Rant and From Gods Perspective. Eff is also from the Rant era and has a couple related bars. He definitely softened in those few years lol
@@De.Dre.Universe Yes seconding react to Rant first, then God's Perspective
@@De.Dre.Universe I’d love to see both “rant.” And “from gods perspective”
You have to do “We Think We Know You.” It’s one of the best stage performances I’ve ever seen. Just knowing he was 20 when he did it, compared to what I was doing/thinking at 20 is just mind blowing.
Problematic from Inside addresses some of things he said and did as a younger person. It’s a great song and the video makes it amazing! Thanks for doing these. I like to hear your different points of view for each song.
I agree with another commenter that from the perspective of God would be an interesting one for you to do as well.
Yes!!!! He talks about a lot of his regrets in his earlier work!
Fun fact: Patient 24602 is a reference to Les Mis, in which Jean Valjean is Prisoner 24601. I never thought about it before, but yeah I guess you guys are sort of like the right brand and the left brain! Because one of you is always like, "I'm paying attention to the vibe." While the other is like, "I'm analyzing the lyrics." 😄 Thanks for another great reaction!
I love the layered star wars reference. (At least I hope it is a reference.) At the end.
Leia: I love you.
Han Solo: I know.
Then Bo raises the mic and resembles Luke Skywalker from the original star wars' poster.
One of my favorite lines from this is when Right Brain tells Left Brain, "Half of his problems were supposed to be mine!" Which I think is describing the problem of being too logical in his problem solving, too pragmatic and almost robotic like and cut off from emotion. I definitely felt that one hard. Y'all are dope man ✌🏽. Like people are saying, From God's Perspective should be on your list. Keep crushing it ✊🏽
“I know…” is from star wars when Leia told Han she loved him he said… “I know”
And thats whybi need to catch up on Star Wars 😅😬🙃😊
De
Also it's a very Left Brain response, because Left is about knowing, and Right is about feeling.
Another excellent reaction! The beginning references “patient 24602,” 1 digit above patient 24601 used in Les Mis. The ending “I love you… I know“ is from Star Wars. If you want to react to some of his high school days, I suggest “I’m Bo Yo”.
And i know is without emotion, which is left brain….earlier when you guys said left brain showed compassion….no, left brain was trying to corral right brain, left brain was solving the discord in a way he knew would work with right brain….this is how i work, i’m very pragmatic, which can look very left brain….but i get shit done.
"what colour is the robot"
That's honestly the perfect question for that point in the song, good job getting it in a blind reaction
Also the second time Bo managed to slip the N word into a special in a way that somehow didn't get him cancelled.
If you like this, you gotta watch "We Think We Know You." It is one of Bo's most creative performances.
A lot of his early stuff was edgy. He has since said it wasn’t funny, it was cringe actually (among others,)^ ,. He started so young. Also, and this is not a defense, but at that time, a lot of us were dumb teens screwing around on the net, which no one understood the consequences of yet, and to make it worse, this was right before all the gamer gate and anti sjw stuff, the internet was wild lol
*subject adjacent, he has talked a lot in interviews about the complexities of growing up on the internet, and that is also one of the primary themes of Inside
Problematic, from Inside, addresses this succinctly. Where he seeks atonement for some of the earlier work. A compilation of reflections between the right and left brain, in a sense. We're all governed by a battle between our right and left brains. :)
@@Samdark0 in typical Bo fashion, though, he's both sincere and poking fun at the propensity for public apology on social media too, I think. He's simultaneously embarrassed by his 'edgy' stuff but also thinks it's good for young people to be able to "fail out loud"
He hates himself… at times. Fuck dude you nailed it
I recommend “Art is Dead”! Love these videos so much, seeing people react to his stuff is especially cool because his stuff is so layered and wild!
"We think we know you" is absolutely genius. You should check that one out soon.
I have really enjoyed your reactions, because you both actually have something to say. You’re a great mix of differing views points and you’re both able to articulate your thoughts coherently. So many content creators have little that is substantial to say, so I really appreciate this.
I’m looking forward to the next video. There are so many amazing options everyone else has already suggested, so I don’t feel the need to add another at this point.
Matthew, your post means a lot! We're very thankful for subs and supporters like you. Looking forward to more content and interaction with you guys
Yup, this alone got them a subscription from me, and I don't do that usually.
Actual criticism. Love to see it.
Really loving your analysis! Y’all should watch “problematic “. It addresses his older content
And by “really loving “ I mean “binged all of”
Thanks for watching this one, glad you guys enjoyed it! He put this show together between ages 19 and 22, and honestly, it was something completely new in the world of standup comedy. This concept, and several other high-concept bits/songs/sketches, were incredibly ambitious -- he would have a couple hours each day before the show to wrangle together the lighting cues and setup at each new venue given what they already had in place. I can't imagine how stressful that would be, but when it worked, it had fantastic results and really created a theatrical experience for the audience.
I can tell you guys like the introspective ones! If you want to stick with younger Bo who was making a name for himself with these kinds of creative songs, please watch "We Think We Know You". That's one of my favorites!
I think the “I love you” “I know” line is a reference to Star Wars when Leia says it to Han. Also an inside joke between me and my husband because the first time he said “I love you” I was surprised and didn’t know what to say so I said “thank you.” 😂
Also, whoever did the lighting on this show deserves a raise!
So Bo has said one of his inspirations is Tim Minchin, who also performs comedy in musical form. I think you'd both be excellent to react to Tim's "Thank You God" which was performed with an orchestra. Chef's kiss!
Should check out "bo burnham best jokes and burns on the green room" from I think 2011. Its a lot of comedians sitting around talking and Bo was the youngest in the group, it gives a good insight of him outside of his normal routine.
"Saving the World thru Comedy" should be your next reaction video. I think it would be nice to get y'all's take on it.
Comedy is its name, use it
Another awesome breakdown! this was from his special WHAT, and yeah, the way he portrays the internal struggle of responsibility vs freedom is REAL. It’s also much deeper than what people realize.
My therapist uses this song sometimes to help articulate the neural drama of someone who is dealing with depression or anxiety. The whole left brain being one way and the right being the opposite isn’t really physically accurate. When he says “I am the adult, you are the child”, that’s what this is really about.
When you’re depressed, have trauma, anxiety or any of the other cognitive illnesses, your internal monologue splits. Feelings of crushing responsibility can and will override emotional needs for people with depression. Thats where the ‘adult vs child’ line comes from. He’s talking about ‘Transactional Analysis’ which is a form of therapy. It’s based on Freud’s work which is spotty at best (dude thought everything could be solved with enough cocaine) but the idea of different ego’s has held up to scrutiny over the years and been built upon. Getting someone with a mental illness to start up that dialogue with themselves can bridge the gap they’ve created in their own heads.
I love this song because it really is a therapy session on stage. Bo’s a genius.
Please do “From Gods Perspective” next!
I fully believe that Bo Burnham is the greatest comedian of our generation, he is so layered and hilarious and it makes you think. Absolutely incredible 10/10
Just found y'all tonight and I can't stop watching these videos. Tool, Burnham, I'm here for all of it. Yall's interaction was so hilarious in this one, funky vases and all. You guys are a great pair bringing varied perspective that never fails to interest. Keep it authentic.
Love y'all's actual insight and short discussions mixed in with the genuine reactions. Great stuff - liked and subbed
Just watched all your Bo reactions you’ve uploaded so far, subscribing without question. Like others have, the way you two analyze the videos and actually hear what his saying, it’s great and looking forward to more!
been watching & liking all your Bo reactions, but this one got my subscribe. y'all are maestros of reaction. bravo!
God you’re commentary in these bo videos are elite! Binge watching all your reactions as of the moment!
Yesss!!! Much love unbotheted! You'll probably really like our podcast then. shot4shotpodcast.com
Or on whatever platform you listen to podcast
De
Definitely subbing your podcast. Love your banter. So smart.
Been binging your reaction videos all night. Love seeing other people that truly understand Bo Burnham and the work that he does.
The thing I love most about Bo is that he isn’t a one trick pony, he discusses everything and anything.
love your reactions - please do more of bo!
Very few people have the right to be called a genius-Bo is one of them
>.>
"I love you." with a response of "I know." is also a famous moment from the Star Wars movies.
Words, Words, Words! Brilliant song, you guys would love it.
I've enjoyed going through your vids the past few days
You guys are amazing! Thanks for the reactions.
Oh my god from the first video I watched of y’all I thought “they need to react to left brain/right brain” and here it IS. You guys are hilarious and I’m so excited to subscribe!
I cannot wait for you two to do Eff, nerds, Hell of a ride. You’ve become some of my favorite Reactors to Bo.
Yes. I’ve been waiting for y’all to do this one :)
Would LOVE to see you react to We Think We Know You and Art is Dead You guys have quickly become of my favorite Bo reactors. Please keep it up. :)
Thank you guys for going on the Bo burnham journey! He’s one of my favorite comedians of all time
words words words is an old one that would be nice to see a reaction to. Love the channel guys!
Loving the detail you guys go into here. I got here after digging into some Bo reactions but I’m gonna check out your other things now. Some bo film stuff to check out I haven’t seen recommended - these are more feature length movies than bits!:
- he directed and edited Jerrod Carmichael’s new HBO comedy special, Rothaniel. I cannot recommend it enough. He also directed his last one, 8.
- eighth grade (he wrote and directed it)
- promising young woman (he starred in it, it’s kind of an intense film! Lots to unpack)
Oh also:
- hell of a ride
- Eff
- Words words words (there’s a crazy official video for it on his UA-cam)
- Rant
- art is dead
I love your reactions and wonder if you could do more Bo Burnham (I'm proudly a massive stan for him) and would love for you to do "Words, Words Words" to react to his INSANE flow. Pretty pleeeeease. Thanks guys! Love your channel and have started to listen to your podcast. :)
I would love to see y’all react to Are you Happy, it is criminally under reacted too. It comes right after Can’t Handle This in the recording of the special Make Happy, and in the same room that 5 years later he records Inside
yes yes this!
Such a beautiful song ❤
Enjoying your reactions! 🙏🏼
11:57 it could be that Bo is referencing a famous scene in one of the Star Wars movies between Han Solo and Princess Leia, where he’s about to be frozen in Carbonite and may never be revoked and so princess Leia says to hon I love you and he looks at her and instead of saying, I love you to respond back I know and I’m blanking on the man’s name but the guy who plays on him basically says that originally it was scripted for him to say I love you too back to Leah, but it was not in character. It wasn’t like something that Han Solo would naturally say so he wanted to replace the line with some thing that was in character for the character, but also conveyed the same meaning back
I seriously love you guys’ content. You’re both incredibly insightful, and you come from two different places in your thought which makes your reactions so fun to watch! I’m definitely here for more Bo content (and probably your podcast as well). From God’s Perspective, Pandering, Lower Your Expectations, That Funny Feeling, Comedy, and honestly everything from Inside would be really great reactions from you guys ❤️
I haven't seen anyone else say it but the "I love you" "I know" is from star wars between han and Leia in empire strikes back
Yeah we are still behind the times on those Star Wars movies...*sigh* De
@@De.Dre.Universe it's never too late! Still trying to get the wife to see them them lol
Been loving your Bo Burnham reactions.
Since you're kinda going backwards through his evolution... Please check out Words Words Words from when he was a kid UA-camr 😀
Thanks bro!
ua-cam.com/video/iuF6CpML3IQ/v-deo.html
Just so y'all know: the "I know" as an answer to "I love you" is what Han Solo said to Lea in Empire Strikes Back, and Bo is a big ol'nerd, so it could have been that maybe.
Another great reaction, looking forward to more
Ya'' got a real nice channel going! Hope to see it grow more and more! Podcast is a great listen too!
Thank you for checking out the podcast!!! Video podcast coming next month. Much love
-De
I neeeeeeed more Bo reacts
It is a star wars quote saying "I love you" and responding with "I know"
I feel so old now cause you guys didn't realize the "I know" line was a reference to star wars
Agree with many others - We Think We Know You is so good … gotta have it - you reacting to him is what made me find you … but I love y’all - I love the two different reactions and insights
Another one to put on this list: Bo Burnham Performs "Art is Dead" in the Green Room
Subscribed for more Bo! Love how deep you analyze and the honest comments. Keep them coming. Let's take the ride together. Do the country song or #sad... problematic should follow this video
I’m about Bo’s age. I remember when he first came up at 18 and came to my area. He was way ahead of his time. His comedy almost requires you to have some culture and reallllly understand sarcasm, irony, and actually get a chuckle from dark comedy (which I think are real issues we laugh about that we’re truly afraid of facing or talking about as a culture).
“Words, words, words” has some crazy bars. Goofy as hell, but they are some legit bars.
I second “Rant” and “From God’s Perspective.” Both are great dives into organized religion, and how people use god as a tool according to their own will, perhaps. “I’m Bo Yo” is absolutely silly but also has some good bars. Dude wrote it at like 17. “Art is Dead” is what got me early on him. He’s literally calling out himself and his profession. I think his overall awareness of everything is what blows my mind. Gotta add “We Think We Know You.” That one hurt me. At least kinda realizing what perspective people at his level of celebrity perhaps deal with regularly. And I think it represents his skill set and coping mechanisms perfectly.
Really hope you dive into Bo and find some meaning. He’ll make you think and feel some weird emotions lol. I think he throws a lot of realism at you that it’s almost too real to realize.
Cheers guys.
Definitely still watch the full Inside special. It's the most amazing thing ever created
Left brain saying "I know" is also a Star Wars reference quoting Han Solo.
"I love you"
"I know"
Star Wars Original Trilogy reference😎
There is still a lot of his content. Can't wait to see it with you. He mentioned George carlin amd steve martin, both funny and worth checking out as well.
I know you guys are getting lots of recommendations on what other performances to check out, but I think That Funny Feeling (from Inside) is better to get to sooner rather than later.
Also Phoebe Bridgers, one of the great young musical artists of our generation and a friend of Bo's, did a cover of the song and performed it live on tour and already released a studio version. The live version and studio version are surprisingly very different, and each different from Bo's. All three versions are great, I highly recommend anyone reading this to check them out.
Nice reaction!!! I just watched most of your other Bo Burnham reactions. I hope you guys continue to explore him, other artists, and him. Lol. This is one of my favorite songs by him. Some of my others are From God’s Perspective, Welcome to the Internet, Art Is Dead, We Think We Know You, and from some of his older-older stuff New Math, High School Party (girl), and Words, Words, Words…. And something fun! His START was “My Whole Family…” he only uploaded it to share it with his older brother who had just gone to college - his friend was like, “Why don’t you perform them for him?!”, but then it BLEW UP!!! I know I gave a lottt…. He’s been my favorite comedian for years! I love how intellectual he is, and how he just SAYS certain things, and I think the musical aspect is fantastic - ESPECIALLY for Bo!
Commenting for the algorithm. Keep it up yall. Youre awesome.
Team player. Preesh!!!
De
You two are fascinating to listen to. It really seems like what you guys say comes from a place of experience and not just being goofy people watching goofy videos
I love how open minded and real you guys are (aka “yea you’re married so you don’t have sex I get it 8:18” truth! But also applies to couples living together with one or more kids! Shout out to the person behind the camera hitting the pause button very humble we recognize!
Everyone is both. Hes talking about that balance that can go on in your on how to handle different things.
You're definitely the right brain because no matter how corny the lyrics are you're over there jamming to the vibe. Meanwhile Dre is focused on the lyrics and can't imagine playing any Bo in his car lol. Right brain goes "you know what, I bet if this dude started making legit music it would be dope because he knows how to build the pace then drop the beat". Left brain has said in multiple videos that there's no way he'd listen to Bo outside of these videos :D
You guys are smart as fuck, I just found this channel and love your analysis!
Liked and subscribed
Also "Lower your expectations"
The best reaction videos are where you get to watch others 'get' what you felt good about getting about the material they're reacting to and just sitting there going 'right?!' and 'exactly!'😄
I know I'm late to this video but just thought I'd say sinc eI didnt see it in the comments yet, the "I love you, I know" line is a Star Wars reference
The “I know” at the ends was a Star Wars reference.
Try "I`m Bo yo" some of his first you tube stuff.
If you watch Words Words Words, you should look into genius lyrics after, because there are so many bars that are so easy to miss.
Also, have to do "We Think We Know You" It is easily one of his best performance pieces.
🔥🔥🔥
8:14
that cracked me up.
if you guys haven't already, check his song "my whole family things i'm gay"
it was when he was 16 or something.
btw, subbed.
Loved this reaction!! Yeah everyone has both sides brain of course, but ysually one of the sides has the upper hand haha.
I see you guys reacting a lot to Bo. If you want to do something different I have a few recommendations for future videos.
"Reagan" by Killer Mike. If you haven't seen it, its incredibly real in a lot of parts and will definitely create a good discussion about the war on drugs and a lot that's been going on in America in the past little bit.
For something more funny look up, "Zinc oxide and you", nobody know about it but it's pretty good.
Or Michael Reeves, "I gave my Goldfish $50,000 to trade stocks." Both are great. Love what you guys are doing
GREAT reaction! You should check out Prejudice by Tim Minchin
The "I love you....I know" quote is also a reference to Leia Skywalker saying the same to Han Solo and that was his response right before he got turned into a slab of carbon.
I saw this really interesting story once, about people who've had the link between their brain-halves severed (for whatever reason), and they actually become two different people sharing a body from then on. Each brain-half would continue to develop and interpret things completely separate of the other, and the diverge between them would only widen as time went by. It's pretty wild. Apparently it was not uncommon for the right side to be religious whereas the left side was not simultaneously 😂
A second joke in the end line is that it is a quote from Star Wars when Princess Leia told Han Solo she loved him and he replied "I know". Bo loves double and triple entendres.
I wanna see ya'll react to all of Inside
Of course you're both of these things, we both have a left and right brain in our heads!
You guys should check out Bo Burnhams Rant fron the Words Words Words album because it's more similar to his newer, more critical songs. But there are a ton of more light hearted, comedy focused songs on that album as well if you'd like to see the more comical side of his work which initially helped me fall in love with him because of his whitty writing
Think you will enjoy Tim Minchin, he's amazing! Thank you God, the pope song, storm, confessions and many more 😁
Forgot prejudice and if I didn't have you
Not split personality. We all have left and right side personality that conflict. Look into people with brain damage and how different reactions happen and how both sides react or cope with life. Very interesting.
the sidetracked debate at 2:02 is so funny it's like a sitcom exchange like
2:26:
"nah, okay, think about it like this-"
"okay."
"-okay, real quick. let's just say, umm,"
"some people were enslaved on a plantation."
"mhm."
"-and the masters were robots,"
...
...
"...and they said the n word."
"why would- why would..."
"what i'm sayin is, it don't matter...-"
"mm..."
"-...WHO, or WHAT the entity is..-"
"...okay,"
"...it's still derogatory coming towards black people,"
"so that robot cannot say the n word, you gettin cancelled bruh."
"mmh."
"alright."
"Sad" is a great one
Agree with the other suggestions. If you wanna see some more sides of Bo, I'd recommend Oh Bo and Country Song.
11:29 han solo in empire strikes back
Please do "rant." (Not the kanye rant)
It's sooooo good, and from roughly the same time frame as left brain / right brain
incredibly written song where you get to see Bo rap questioning the ideologies of the church.
I guarantee you guys will be blown away
Edit: "what" to "rant"
I agree with this recommendation, but the song is "rant". Not to be confused with "can't handle this" which often called "the Kanye rant"
@@tbatten wow. I've been leaving that recommendation on several channels but cant believe i somehow typed out what on this one. Thanks boss!
What cool about your reaction is that the guy on the right is more left brained and the guy on the left is more right brained. You can watch how they react to their perspective sides and they are almost inverse. When one guy shakes his head up and down, the other shakes his head right and left.
"I love you... I know" it's a star wars joke
