@@msalasan I don't think its fair to blame the audience here for not understanding. He did an amazing job masking his crisis here especially when performing to an audience who are just trying to have a good time while trying to forget their own troubles. It is genuinely difficult to understand how someone else is feeling on a personal level. It is exponentially harder when the artist is professionally masking their emotions at a comedy show and trying to make others happy who probably need it.

It tears me up irl too, I literally sit here and roll a tear - male, 28 yo, thought he knows real struggle.

Bo is needed. He's one of those once in a generation type of people. Are You Happy immediately follows this in the special, and then All Eyes On Me kind of explains what happened after, and it rocks my world every time. He actually won a Grammy foe All Eys On Me. He's so special.

For me, the gutpunch was when he went back into the chorus and people cheered and laughed as if he hadn't just dropped a truth bomb on them. Then he spelled it out "You can tell them anything if you make it funny, if you make it rhyme."

He took a five year hiatus because he was having severe panic attacks on stage. He was just about ready to start touring again when COVID hit. He talks about it on his Netflix Special "Inside".

You're the first reactor I've seen that responded to 14:40 the same way I did. "I guess I'll just shut up and do my job, so here I go" followed by going right back into the burrito bit. Except, this time, he's just like a mindless drone performing for his audience. He knows the audience doesn't care about what he's feeling. He's there to perform, and that's what they paid for. It really opened my eyes to viewing celebrities in a different light. Who knows what they have going on behind the stage? It's absolutely genius, and I'm sad for anyone who watches this and just laughs along the whole time as if it's still a comedy skit by the end.

I was tearing up with you and I saw this show live. I was crying at the end, felt hypocritical to clap but I didn't know how else to try and let him know he was appreciated for being honest, that I wanted to just fucking hug him. During this recording, he went into a panic attack during the last bit of the song. He couldn't get the mic to turn off so he dropped it while it was on and went back to his dressing room and broke down for an hour (per one of the few interviews he's done since). All Eyes on Me from his Inside special is a good next step. Him talking about those panic attacks and trying to get better. It'll make you cry, but fuck it's worth it. He also did a couple movies that were amazing. Acted and I believed helped with production of Promising Young Woman, and wrote Eighth Grade, both absolutely incredible.

He wouldn't have got the fame if he knew it wouldn't fit. He always covers deep subjects in a humorous way. He has so many masterpieces, "Welcome To The Internet" is one of his best.

SaucyDad: "this is some real stuff, I'm getting all emotional" Me: "you haven't even got to the real stuff yet. You don't know the half of it right now" SaucyDad: gets to the real stuff, speechless. I've been watching so many reactions to this song, and this has been the rawest and most emotional one so far. Your silence at the end said far more than many other have said using words. I mean, pretty much everyone 'gets' it. Plenty of people are blown away, speechless, a bit emotional and/or just like OMG. But you're only the second I've seen actually come to tears and, one of just a few i can tell 'really' felt it on a 'this hurts me' kind of level.

Bo did leave the limelight for five years. He came back with the INSIDE special. He did what. and Make Happy, left, and came back. Anxiety issues. He also has a book entitled EGGHEAD. It has many of his insights/poems from what. in it.

Please do All Eyes On Me by Bo if you can. Recent stuff from Bo after a long break, and does explain somewhat of what he went thru. Bo has so much amazing stuff, funny as well as heartbreaking.

He stopped performing for a while, he didn't retire, though this was his last performance for that while. His Netflix special from last summer, "Inside" is amazing (so are the outtakes available on youtube). You have a giant Bo Burnham rabbit hole to go down and you should be excited dude.

@MalkuthSephira

Жыл бұрын

​@@benboom910 Alright then, I'll give a more detailed response, though the reason I didn't do that in the first place is how clear it was that nothing I can say will get through in the slightest. Firstly, let's establish the obvious - you chose to say something that I personally think is very stupid in public, which you had every right to do, and I chose to respond rudely, which I also had every right to do. I'm assuming that those basic facts are something you already understand, but I think it's the sort of thing that is worth establishing openly on my side regardless. So. I don't think EVERY humorous thing Bo Burnham writes has a double meaning. But I do think that a hell of a lot of it does. As far as I'm aware this song remains, to this day, his last ever live show, and he clearly put an extraordinary amount of work into it. If he's specified somewhere that THIS song is one he feels people are reading too much into, which is not something I've seen but might exist somewhere for all I know, I'm honestly inclined not to believe him, but that's not actually the issue here. Truly talented artists often end up putting more meaning into even sillier parts of whatever they're making than they intend to, and Bo is the definition of a truly talented artist. It is not even necessary for him to have intended for two thirds of one of the most important songs he's ever written to have a deeper meaning for it to have subconsciously seeped through anyway. ...But even THAT isn't actually the issue here, and the issue exists whether or not one thinks those parts of the song had deeper meaning OR whether said deeper meaning was consciously or unconsciously included, so let's get to work breaking this down. It'll be slightly out of order because I think it's ideal to address a certain statement you made before continuing. I took nothing you originally said as a personal insult. The person I feel you insulted was the REACTOR, and that is why I bothered insulting you myself. I have seen countless people have takes on Bo's stuff that I believe are stupid, and sometimes that pisses me off on Bo's behalf, but in this case the person on whose behalf I'm angry is neither Bo or myself. If it's childish to be rude in response to someone was rude to a person one respects, then I suppose I'm childish, but even if that's how one interprets it, I don't think it's nearly as childish as being rude to someone for caring deeply about art and finding meaning in it. In fact, the absurdity of being rude to someone for finding meaning and emotion in art is why I didn't write a more detailed reply in the first place. I did not think someone behaving that way was worth spending more time on. But I suppose I've changed my mind - to me, this is now worth one detailed post, which is what I'm delivering. So, with THAT established, I'll expound a bit further. Even if it genuinely IS a complete accident that the Pringles and Chipotle jokes can be read as tying into the central of the song, which, again, I myself doubt, it is still valid to personally interpret them as parts of a cohesive and deeper whole and to be emotionally moved by them. Art is utterly subjective by its fundamental nature, and I think that finding depth and relevance here in a way that makes perfect sense in tandem with the more directly delivered message of this particular piece of art is admirable, whether or not the artist expected anyone to do that. Hell, even if the artist didn't WANT anyone to do that, when one releases art to the public, one is accepting (consciously or otherwise) that the public will have their own interpretations that will not always be identical to the artist's intent. The reason I was angry enough to bother being rude to you is pretty simple: a human being watched and listened to a piece of art and found deep meaning there, and you said that his interpretation and show of emotion was "forced" just because you have a different interpretation. That goes beyond simply disagreeing with someone, which can be done politely, and enters the realm of legitimately insulting them. Delivering that insult is a deeply disrespectful thing to do, and while you have the right to express your opinion in that way, I sure as hell have the right to be disrespectful to you in response. Live by the sword and all that. If you're too thin-skinned to take what you dish out, you may want to consider dishing it out less often. Or not - that's entirely your call. Maybe you're just a glutton for retaliation, I don't know. So, I suppose a decent summary would be this: you insulted someone who found deep meaning in art, and I insulted you in response because the thought of saying nothing in that situation does not align with how I want to live my life. I did not consider your original behavior to be worth exploring in this much detail, but since you responded directly and I have some time to kill, I decided that I'd enjoy responding to clarify my point. I saw no reason to interpret the reactor's feelings as forced, disingenuous, or anything similar. What I did see is the following: someone who makes connections and finds meaning in art being hit hard by something he empathized with, regardless of what the artist's precise intent may have been, which is something I personally consider to be intelligent behavior... and then I saw someone belittle that. Belittling someone for finding meaning in art and feeling emotion about doing so, in my opinion, is a clear mark of not actually being intelligent in a way that matters. Therefore, I see you as less intelligent than the reactor you insulted, and I feel no need to be silent about that. You will almost certainly disagree with how I see this situation and everyone involved in it, and I'm perfectly fine with that, as I never expected anything more from you in the first place. I think that's all I really have to say. I doubt I'll be responding again - this has been an amount of effort that I consider worthwhile, but engaging further is unlikely to result in useful statements on either side. My thoughts are now preserved here as publicly as yours are, and I'm entirely satisfied with that. That'll be all from me. Over and out.

"We need people like this.. desperately" 100% agreed. Bo is one of the good ones. But those kind of people see everything, and the feeling of powerlessness can be overwhelming. Thank you for this reaction. This was also a second video I saw from him, and I started crying on the exact same spot. This shit is POWERFUL.

I've read that the passive aggressive tone of "I hope you're happy" was kind of unique to one performance when recording the special, and the editor chose that one over the more genuine delivery. Bravo for that, because the double and opposing meaning of that line really is brilliant and fits perfectly with the message of the song...I want to make you happy but I'm giving up part of myself to do it.

Some laugh till the end… some laugh until it gets deep… but you’re the first that I’ve seen to realize the darkness before it hits deep and I have to mad respect that. He gets better and deeper with Inside

Bo is above geniusness. From comedy, to verses, to voice, to scenography, mixing and lighting, to messages, to the feelings transmitted. The whole package at his age is at another level.. 💯🐐

Yeah. To my understanding, after this exact performance, he had something of a breakdown. Cut to five years later, for the the end of that story, and check out "All eyes on me", from "Inside"; Basically, his Covid/Quarantine special, written, filmed, performed, and produced by him, in his guesthouse.

I am so happy you feel the way I feel. It gets me every time.

I can not wait to watch every single reaction you do of his!

2:30 live auto tune is actually not that easy to use because you still have to hold the note in between a certain range or it jumps from one note to the next all the time. holding a note with autotune for a few seconds means that you held that note even without it. the only difference is that yours doesn't have to be 100% on pitch and it can't have a strong vibrato because that would make the note jumpy too. what many people confuse and call autotune is actually tuning in the post processing that is done by hand with some helping algorithm that do the hard work in the background, but the music producer/magician still has to go through all the notes and set the note he wants and correct errors or sound glitches that can appear when you shift around or smooth the sound wave.

Let's give the lighting designer some love too. It was a phenomenally basic design that did everything it needed to do. I'm a lighting designer by trade. When I was going to school for design, my set design instructor said, "We set designers have a god complex. We get to create the world the actors live in." I raised my hand and said, "Yeah but we lighting designers get to tell them how they feel about it." I think this is a perfect example of that. The lighting designer brings the ambiance and notice when the crowd response. It always corresponds to the lighting.

He only stopped performing live for about 5 years. During that time he directed performances for a couple other big comedians, and made a movie called "8th Grade."

I joined your channel for HMack reactions, but stay because you are a real one bro. Not many would be that vulnerable in front of the world, and I commend you for that sir. Don't ever deviate from what I saw just now, and you will climb bro. Much love SD from a kindred spirit! 👊

Keeping it real. Love you saucy dad!

You need to watch his Netflix special "INSIDE" - it's amazing. Watch it all the way through and react as you go if you want, but watch it all in context.

Highly recommend all of his stuff. His very early work was more shock value stuff but still worth a watch.

You actually get it. I am so glad. Great reaction, maybe the best one I have seen for this.

Just watch it all. Youll love every song indefinitely for the concepts in which hes singing. Loved your reaction! 👍

I cant watch this without crying. Hearing the crowd cheer and laugh as hes litetally telling them hes breaking down and how no one understands and just wants him to "do the funny". Litetally proving his point in real time. "if they still dont understand you run it one more time" Pointing out how they completely missed the point even after he flat out told them. Its among the most tragic things Ive ever seen.

It was good to revisit this through your eyes. Sometimes it is healing to sit in silence with a kindred spirit.

Emotion was what he was ultimately going for

Makes me feel good to see other people react they way I did! TY

Bo did retire after this, for all the reasons he described in this song and more. He came back with a special in 2020... maybe 2021, called Inside which that full special is fantastic, and there is a sequel to this song in that Special called "All Eyes on Me" so I really would suggest you check out that song next. Also since you questioned how old he is, he turned 30 in 2020, so he is either 31 or 32.

I definitely recommend you watch All Eyes On Me, next. it's kind of a companion piece to this, 5 years later

You’re one of the few I’ve seen react to this video and actually get what I get from it

When you mentioned in the live that a comedy bit got you emotional I was confused. Thought that'll never happen to me. I was wrong. Wow! That was so genius. He made my heart hurt though. Thanks Nick. 🖤

you are one of the few reactors that understood the meaning. thank you for paying attention to his message.

He didn't fully retire, Inside is genius. Done during quarantine & displays how talented & mature he's become over 5 years

Great content. I love Bo and your reaction was perfect. New sub here

Something about talent & genuine human emotion just makes me drop a tear :'D Rewatching and I started to get the metaphors from pringles & burritos...

I've been in love with this guy's shi since I was in 8th grade im almost 27 remembering all of im bo yo and bo fo sho, I knew he was something special then and am glad to see how far he's come from making videos in his bedroom in beautiful Massachusetts!

‘Inside’ is a full experience. I don’t recommend you doing reactions of the songs on that special. It’s something that needs to be watched from beginning to the end. It would be cool if you watched it and then did your breakdown of each song after

We are an empath and feel the emotion he put into creating this. For me, get the emotion from the song AND emotions from the reaction. It's it's a crazy feeling.

you sir... you get it. subscribed

That was a young man calling out for help...that was his truth coming out..he isn't happy..but he was reying to make everyone else happy..I know how you feel, Nick..I feel the same way..very talented young man..but so sad..thank you Nick💖

14:10 onwards - Absolutely feel you there bro. Right in the feels. Burnham is a genius.
