Honestly that has to be the _best_ evil villain laugh I have _ever_ heard. Doesn't matter how many times I hear it, I instantly get chills and shivers down my spine. This song really does showcase how the internet went from this innocent "connecting people with similar interests together", to the crazy addictive, controlling nightmare-fest it is today _so_ incredibly well.

And it “Did all the things we designed it to do”… you are most likely holding your cage in the palm of your hand. It worked, there is no going home, the carnival is here to stay.

You're not too far off, but you slightly misunderstood the part about the mom letting you use the iPad. It's not that you used to just use it a little and now we use it a lot. It's that we use it a lot because we used to use it a little. That these devices like iPads are designed to be highly addictive. That's what he's saying by "it did all the things we designed it to do." The modern internet and these devices are designed to trap us all online, to make us live our lives on the internet. It didn't start that way. Back in the 90s the internet was something we used, but it didn't dominate the lives of the vast majority of those who used it. We'd get on and read a few message boards, maybe join a chat room for an hour here or there, but it was something you used an hour or two a day, maybe. Often much less. Now we're all online all the time. We're almost all addicted. Kids didn't even have a chance, their parents put them online from a young age and it literally rewires how their brains work. Those of us who didn't grow up on these modern devices have a hard enough time putting our devices down, but kids who use these devices from a young age don't even realize its strange, its just the way the world has always worked for them. Which of course was the goal. Bo here is playing the evil carnival barker of your nightmares as an manifestation of the internet itself.

I mean, you're right, but you missed the point as well. "It wasn't always like this"....there WERE no Ipads. Smart phones didn't exist. internet speeds were in kbps, not MBs+. The "it did all the things we designed it to do" is correct throughout its iterations to brainwash and pacify a population....but her core theory WAS wrong, just not in the way you said. XD

I didn't know anyone who used the internet in 98'.

My favorite line is when he says “mommy let you use her iPad. You were barely 2. And it did all the things we designed it to do. Now look at you”. Because it sounds so sweet, the way he says it. But really what it was doing, was addicting that generation to screens. Access to them at such a young age created a dependency for “a little bit of everything all of the time”.

That laugh is so perfectly joyless. It so completely captures everything we hoped for, and the infinite, cyclic void left in its stead.

When he wrote this song, he wanted it to have a eerie, creepy, but yet fun vibe. To show why the Internet can Be scary yet fun.

I love how different the facial expressions of people who are actually listening and reacting are

This devil persona of his should have been the villain in Ralph Breaks the Internet and this should've been his villain song. It does such good job showing EVERY aspect of the internet: increased connectivity, helpful tips, support, but also addiction, overexposure and a showcase of the more disgusting aspects of humanity that some didn't even know existed prior.

this would actually be a jewel of cinema for the years to come

I dunno if this is the way he intended it, but I took "here's a nine-year-old who died" as an anchor point between the ramp up and the darker part of the song. Mainly because it's couched between other silly shit like fantasy sports or whatever. It's like scrolling social media--because a child dying is one of the most devastating catastrophic moments in the lives of so many people connected to that child. And the song's pace makes it so we can't even focus on it. Like we almost forget he said it. Then it flips, where the majority is dark shit with a few little silly things thrown in. Pretty much nailed "the internet."

"...just nod or shake your head and we'll do the rest." is in my opinion such a clever way of describing the algorithmic way of the internet today. Say yes and you'll get more, say no and you'll get more of something else. There is no actual "no" it's just "not that", there will always be something else. You just keep sitting there and nod or shake your head, we will indeed take care of the rest 😈

The "if the Internet had a Disney villain song" very well done. Love Bo. If you go older Bo to current Bo you see his progression as an artist and his mental state. The ones you've chosen to react to are great. I Also like "from God's perspective" , "country song", "art is dead" All his songs are funny but with deeper layers and meaning

"Goodbye" from Inside is the real masterpiece!!!

Yes, but she needs to at least have watched the songs referenced in that one first. Maybe doing Comedy and Goodbye in the same video would be good because they sort of make bookends of the special. But it would also be nice if she's heard Well Well Look Who's Inside Again first as well.

Bo Burnham is levels ahead of most "comedians" you see today in my opinion. What makes him truly outstanding is his introspectiveness, which you haven't seen much of yet from the songs you have reacted to thus far. Also his ability to articulate is just next level. He is also a true musician because he does write all his music. This song was not exactly at the beginning of his special but the song Comedy was the first song of his special inside. It kind of gives a preface to the entire special.

Tim Minchin is another song based comedian who inspired Bo Burnham. Lot of people get introduced to him through the song Prejudice

I vote for left brain, right brain for another Bo Burnham reaction. It's one of his older ones, his timing in that is absolutely amazing!

Bo's song "That Funny Feeling" is great too. Probably want the lyrics in-hand, there's a lot of references

It's nice to see a younger reactor watch this and truly have no idea what Bo's talking about with how the internet was "circa 99" and now growing up with the internet as a big part of life since a baby with the new generation. It'll be fun to see this generation at 40 and 50.

Awesome reaction!!! This song really does show off Bo’s talent as a both a word smith as well as a world builder. The more you watch of Bo’s work, you’ll find that even though his commentary has always been honest, he has refined his craft of expression repeatedly over the years. Loving the Bo reactions, keep ‘em comin!!! Cheers

You should start from Bo’s original days and work towards his recent stuff, that way his art makes more sense

Watching bo is an emotional rollercoaster itself

Have to say I enjoy your reactions very much. They are short enough and you refrain from pausing the video every 15 seconds to break down how you interpret it. Bravo.

It's really well crafted because it gives you the sense of going down an internet rabbit hole. It starts out pretty normal, but rapidly gets more and more extreme and radicalized. 100% modern villain.

I honestly laughed out loud when she said “oh. It’s so jolly”, knowing what was to come! Haha

Art is dead is a really great song by Bo Burnham. It is my absolute favorite.

I feel like "Apathy's a tragedy and bordom is a crime" is backwards. The aliteration isn't as good, but "Bordom is a tragedy and apathy's a crime" is more true. It's tragic to be bored for any length of time. It's criminal to not have an emphatic stance on .

This song hits the nail on the head with alot humour... The man is a genius in a mad Willy Wonka way. 😂

I can tell you’re introverted and it’s adorable.

Inside is very interesting because a lot of it doesn't really have the same immediate appeal his earlier stuff has, but it is way more cohesive than even the stuff he did earlier (and that is saying something). It is true art.... which is scary, because it is hard to top and may be his apex. I hope not of course... he has so much to offer.

Bo Burnham is so god damned brilliant. I literally put him up there with people like Robin Williams.

You may want to listen to “My Whole Family”, also by Bo Burnham.

Bo Burnham - Words, Words, Words

Another great reaction vid! My recommendations: For more Bo Burnham: some of his slightly older stuff like Country Song, Repeat Stuff (the live version from "what"), or Art is Dead (the live version from The Green Room) For other good reaction vids: literally anything with Bill Burr

I'm sure everyone is up for Bo, but if you want to mix it up you may want to check out one of Bo's inspirations, Tim Minchen. Prejudice If I Didn't Have You Inflatable You

Hans Teeuwen is also one of his inspirations.

His "From God's Perspective" is a MUST

This man is a Genius! He will make you laugh and will make you feel guilty about laughing, but craving more. You should really check the entirety of Inside, and I also recommend watching From God's Perspective

And the whole part about “let’s stick together “ is part of their way of coercing you

Neat, another Bo video! Thats what I'm here for

"A lot of people were telling me to react to the whole of Inside, so, I'm not gonna do that..."

evil villain laugh

100% the only way to truely experience Inside is watching it first. It is on Netflix

this song reminds me a lot of new math another song he did but quite a bit older. they are my 2 favorites of his

You should watch the whole special Inside. Lots going on in that.

Hi Amy Jane - not sure if it's a jokey deliberate thing(?) but 'internet' is misspelled in your thumbnail and just in case not: I think it's possible to change that even after video is published? :) I agree he's talented. 'Art is Dead' is another awesome Bo Burnham song, by the way, but a bit older than his 'Inside' show.

The Internet, as the Anti-Willy-Wonka, as portrayed by a genius.

The man’s a genius

Other artist suggestion: falling in reverse

Hi there, here again! Still would love to see you react to Ren - Hi ren. I know I suggested the same one on your previous video too but, persistence right? :D

You should react to how the world works

You should listen to the earlier videos like "Words, Words, Words" and "Bo Fo Sho" . Great examples of Rap.

😱 is right ☺

This song is just for another audience. It's so much more worrysome for us, millenials and older, who actually remeber the old times... And Bo being a millenial himself...

You should listen to the songs, words words words by Bo burnham, it’s very surprising and random 🥰

This is how the world works is very good

im always on my computer but for a whole different reason.

The song „Comedy“ from bo is so good

We really should figure out how to get the money from my pocket to your pocket

You should try reacting to Harry Mack - he is great, very positive energy and interlectual, you'd like it.

Please react to Bo Burnham best off in the Green Room. He's there with A-list comedians and.. well you just gotta watch it.

Welcome to the internet trending on TikTok is irony at its best

Most of the songs from Inside can be watched out of order except for Goodbye. Leave it to the ead as it is the last song in the special and you kinda need to have watched many of the previous songs to fully understand it. Apart from that watch the other songs in any order you like.

If you do like comedic history in the form of music, I definitely recommend Pasadena 1994 by Nanowar of Steel. Not sure if you are a fan of European metal, but worth a listen.

I just realized that him speaking about “Obama sent the immigrants to vaccinate your kids” Has to do with when Obama made domestic propaganda an international propaganda legislation

i feel like you might like "art is dead" its one of my favs

Back in his day many of Bo's songs were raps, so no wonder he knows how to speak fast. Also, Inside is a comedy special on Netflix, not an album.

omg could i get luturious tomfoolery or delectible sweet cheers mate

Bo Burnhams - That funny feeling . plz react to it soon

next one should be goodbye or the chicken song. ORRR art is dead or any of his old songs.

Please watch art is dead! Also, his skit. named Shakespeare from Words Words Words is a great showcase of his lyrical genius

Gott love Bo😂 , you should do reactions to TheDooo or Billy Wilkins ! Just beware cause they sing and joke with people on Omegle so some of the humor can be pretty crude haha 😂 but If you know what Omegle is you probably know that’s

So good! If you wanna try something completely different check out lowkey and akala fire in the booths

Left brain, right brain is one I would love to nominate from Bo. Or from God's perspective. The first one a bit sillier, but both have a great depth.

Please take the chance to react to his song "Repeat Stuff w/ music video" as it is very similar to this.

Would love to see you react to Tim Minchin "Prejudice".

Might just be me, but it’s kinda sad when you see someone react to something who so clearly missed the point of it.

the crazy thing is you have still seen nothing yet. may i suggest How the World works next please or Right brain Left brain

Is that your natural hair or do you curl it? Please be honest

I mean the special is better to react to than just the album since you'll have more context

"How the World Works"

Hey, idk if you've ever listened to NF, but his new song Hope is such a masterpiece and it would be really neat to react to.

try watching that funny feeling

Hi, Amy. Love the way you react naturally to our BO. May I suggest you to go deeper the Rabbit Hole and appreciate the musically theatrically genius mind of Tim Minchin.

You're gorgeous 😍. Keep up the good work x.

We of the Cult of Babymetal would kindly suggest that you react to BABYMETAL DEATH | Legend 1997 (Complete)

To switch from Bo but stick with the comedy song theme. Check of Flight of the Conchords, I would recommend Hippopotamus vs the Rhymenocerous. The live version instead of the clip from their show

May I suggest a reaction to Billie Eilish’s music video for Happier Than Ever

You should maybe try to react to packgod

Will you react to movies or series later too?

Don't react to the album. Please watch the whole Netflix special
