Just wanted to let you know Bo Burnham does all his lights and camera work on his own even on stage he would have foot petals that would control the lights he's pretty incredible.

It was heartwarming to see someone appreciate all the musical aspects of this performance - everyone seems to focus on the lyrics (which are insanely accurate, good and horrifying at the same time). I've been binge-watcing his performances for a week or two, and I truly think he could do amazingly well "just" as a musician. He understand the rules and knows how to break them. He's a gem of an artist. I absolutely adore him. Do "the country song" (aka pandering)!!!!

I’d almost say he’s a borderline activist, because he truly make people think abt topics they may overlook forever otherwise and he forces you to see it from the most privileged perspective so no one can excuse their lack of awareness. He’s a truly good guy.

It's really great to get the commentary on the musicality of the piece, because music is such a huge part of Bo's repertoire, but it's obviously not something that the layperson can comment on with this kind of depth.

Going over the lyrics really draws out how ominous the middle part is. Bo is gentle and sing-songy but his words are screaming "it's a trap!" "We set our sights, and spent our nights, waiting for you" "It did all the things we designed it to do" "It was always the plan, to put the world in your hand" Then he yanks away the gentleness and it's just: buckle up, this train ain't stopping.

I also loved when he'd try playing along and sometimes just end up jamming a bit. I'm not very knowledgeable about music theory, but that's how it seemed to me. This was great :))) Edit: it's just really impressive to me how he's able to pick apart the music itself and play it back and identify things so easily.

That's kindof how I learn a lot of songs, and for people who do that its pretty common. I can read sheet music but I was always just better at memorizing tones so like playing a guitar I'll be fooling around, accidentally play something familiar, and then hyper focus on figuring out the rest of whatever that piece of music was entirely by ear. I actually just figured out the Kokiri Forest theme from the video game Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on my own actual ocarina (small ceramic flute like instrument)

He did it all on his own! So he likely reshot that song multiple times for the different angles. Or maybe there's hidden cameras... but in some of the songs from the special you see there aren't cameras where there would need to be for certain angles. He worked for over a year on this! Bo Burnham has been my favorite comedian for years... he's blunt, intellectual, raw, authentic... and really, a true artist overall. You should react to more by him!!! From the special, "That Funny Feeling" (it's slower) or "Comedy," and from outside of the special "Repeat Stuff" or "Left Brain, Right Brain" or "From God's Perspective" 👏🏽

I’ve said this on several reactions but I’ll share it here too: The song is set up to have a carnival like vibe, the carny is showing us all the attractions, the facade of happiness is there something seems off but in the first act the melody is keeping us happy but as it goes on it gets increasingly disturbing, the. We hit the first chorus, still keeping up a happy beat but getting repetitive and creepy, the. The second act, the internet is talking directly to the children who’ve grown up with the internet in an obsessive manner talking about how it has shaped and molded them, it talks about the future and how none of us know what it will hold. Then we reach the second chorus, the facade is dropped revealing the madness behind it, same words but a much creepier presentation, the internet is far from benevolent, it was designed to trap you and manipulate you. You have already entered the carnival, there is no escape.

He hasn’t done anything live since 2015 for reasons he explains in his other video “All eyes on me.” Both of those songs are from his brand new special Inside on Netflix. It was shot, written, and edited by him over the course of one year in a single room. Please watch it for yourself. It’s amazing.

I've been binge-watcing his performances for a week or two, and I truly think he could do amazingly well "just" as a musician. He understand the rules and knows how to break them. He's a gem of an artist. I absolutely adore him. Do "the country song" (aka pandering)!!!!

You have one of the most wonderful personalities I’ve seen in KZread and I’m so happy for you to discover bo! He is a truly incredible musician, in addition to comedian. I’d almost say he’s a borderline activist, because he truly make people think abt topics they may overlook forever otherwise and he forces you to see it from the most privileged perspective so no one can excuse their lack of awareness. He’s a truly good guy.

It's really great to get the commentary on the musicality of the piece, because music is such a huge part of Bo's repertoire, but it's obviously not something that the layperson can comment on with this kind of depth. Shifting from a carnival vibe to a bluesy/jazzy tone and then back again is a really neat journey to take in a song.

Michael's reactions to the video and lyrics are so genuine it's hilarious to see his facial expressions. 1:34 Alright, this song is awesome but let me try to keep this about the music. 3:12 hold...hold on. Let me recover from that line. 4:04 Let me try to make this about the music again. 6:48 WAIT WHAT JUST HAPPENED 8:00 Come on, self. Keep it about the music. 8:51 STOP IT RIGHT NOW WHAT DID HE DO 10:54 SHUDDUP PHONE I'M TRYING TO MAKE A POINT. 12:07 CAN HE DO THAT??? That's not supposed to happen! 12:41 This song is beautiful... 14:34 Ok, I give up. Let's just sit back and appreciate this.

Was the Kanye bit the make happy finale? Genuinely outstanding piece of media. I think Bo genuinely transcends comedy, or brings it back to its origins as a complete piece of theatre and not just an hour of stand up.
Going over the lyrics really draws out how ominous the middle part is. Bo is gentle and sing-songy but his words are screaming "it's a trap!" "We set our sights, and spent our nights, waiting for you" "It did all the things we designed it to do" "It was always the plan, to put the world in your hand" Then he yanks away the gentleness and it's just: buckle up, this train ain't stopping.
I've watched about 40 Bo Burnham reactions over the last few days ( Yes I know, this is where my life is currently) but I came back to yours to say it was by far the best. No one else I've watched has showed a solid understanding of the meaning of the song while also giving credit to his singing, musical talent and even his production methods.

Your reaction was absolutely wonderful. The faces and frustrations you expressed were incredibly relatable; I have the exact same reactions when I am trying to figure out a rough part in a piece, let alone trying to dissect a song you are listening to. Absolutely wonderful, watching a reaction that provided more than just someone to watch the content with. I think a lot of your viewers wouldn't mind the more in-depth details you started to get into near the beginning, especially with how passionate and hands-on you are.
I see tons of love for his lyrics and over all musicality, and his talent as a comedian, but it's great to see someone pick apart and appreciate the actual music itself. For Bo's many talents, one of them is he's an insanely talented musician, and exacting in his choice of not only notes and lyrics, but in the tone of his delivery. Your take in this reaction is so genuine and fun to watch. Great content, man!
Everyone always talks about the lyrical aspect of Bo's songs (and rightfully so), so it's great to watch someone breakdown the actual musical aspect. 👍
"Inside" feels like a rallying cry to creatives to go forth and create, almost a war-cry or a challenge.

I love how as he's listening to the song, he's trying to fiddle around with his guitar. A little before the 10 min mark when he's rewinding and figuring it out, it was like he was tasting the song and trying to decipher exactly what flavor it was. This was really interesting to watch! I also loved when he'd try playing along and sometimes just end up jamming a bit. I'm not very knowledgeable about music theory, but that's how it seemed to me. This was great :))) Edit: it's just really impressive to me how he's able to pick apart the music itself and play it back and identify things so easily.

Thanks again. You got me thinking about trying piano again :)
The more I listen to the song, especially with the breakdown you're doing, the more I get a very light Bohemian Rhapsody feeling - tonal shifts and almost genre shifts while feeling like the same song, one complete whole.
I'm not a guitar player, I don't play any instruments for that matter. I have only the most basic of understandings of what you're talking about. But your energy and passion for the art transmits through the screen and I can almost feel it too. And omg the satisfaction when you play the same chords/notes as the song! Your video elevated Bo Burnham's song and musical talent for me. I loved this!
He did it all on his own! So he likely reshot that song multiple times for the different angles. Or maybe there's hidden cameras... but in some of the songs from the special you see there aren't cameras where there would need to be for certain angles. He worked for over a year on this! Bo Burnham has been my favorite comedian for years... he's blunt, intellectual, raw, authentic... and really, a true artist overall. You should react to more by him!!! From the special, "That Funny Feeling" (it's slower) or "Comedy," and from outside of the special "Repeat Stuff" or "Left Brain, Right Brain" or "From God's Perspective" 👏🏽

I come from a family of musicians and just hearing a musician trying to learn a song on the spot and then getting it down is so satisfying. Good job, great review, and amazing musical talent.

don’t know the first thing about guitar but the passion he displays for music is just intoxicating
A lot of people like to soullessly to whatever is trending just standing in the background but few channels can captivate you with their intelligently rich feedback. You are the second kind. Keep at it
I love a reaction from someone who truly understands music. I've listened to every song on the special roughly 100 times thanks to Bo's playlist he posted. And I like watching reactions to get that "first time watch" feel again. But this one takes the cake, not many reactors can pick apart everything going on in Bo's songs. React to more from the special, please! Namely That Funny Feeling and 30.
Bo burnham laughs at the end Michael closes his eyes, smiles, puts his guitar down resigns 😅
I’ve said this on several reactions but I’ll share it here too: The song is set up to have a carnival like vibe, the carny is showing us all the attractions, the facade of happiness is there something seems off but in the first act the melody is keeping us happy but as it goes on it gets increasingly disturbing, the. We hit the first chorus, still keeping up a happy beat but getting repetitive and creepy, the. The second act, the internet is talking directly to the children who’ve grown up with the internet in an obsessive manner talking about how it has shaped and molded them, it talks about the future and how none of us know what it will hold. Then we reach the second chorus, the facade is dropped revealing the madness behind it, same words but a much creepier presentation, the internet is far from benevolent, it was designed to trap you and manipulate you. You have already entered the carnival, there is no escape.

Bo Burnham is a comedian/writer/musician who has been famous since he was 17 when his first KZread video went viral (2007). He hasn’t done anything live since 2015 for reasons he explains in his other video “All eyes on me.” Both of those songs are from his brand new special Inside on Netflix. It was shot, written, and edited by him over the course of one year in a single room. Please watch it for yourself. It’s amazing.

IDK, I was listening to Straight White Male thinking it was pretty musically interesting and not simple.
One of my favorite parts of the video, is the way that the character’s sunglasses transition in their nature. They go from kind of absurdly funny, to a blank void that’s trying to absorb all that you are, as he triumphantly laughs at the fact that you’ve already lost.
Watching this three years after you uploaded it and man it still hits the same, I love watching folks, ESPECIALLY musically inclined people, watch Bo's stuff.
"You get to the spot where you are when you get there" is way more profound than I first realized
Touring around reactions to this piece, clicked on yours, and... I gotta say, I have no interest in learning guitar, so this isn't my channel, but I wish I did, cuz you are tremendously appealing. You were catching all that Bo, AND breaking it down, AND translating it into a lesson, simultaneously? I'm intrigued by what you do, and you do it with such personality. Very nice.
At 2.50 I almost lost it, I would happily watch an entire hour of you dissect the theory behind this :)
This is my first of your videos to watch. I am subscribed. I'm a vocalist, not an instrumentalist, but I'm very interested in looking at the musical creativity of this guy. I like the fact that you were able to discern all this music theory, while you were reacting to the brilliance of the lyrics and the mood and the editing..... I don't think we've had a talent like this since Tim Minchin. I will be back!
"that funny feeling" he says cant play guitar - not sure if just being silly/humble so intrigued to hear your thoughts! theres not a vid, jut the song
This may just because I'm a music guy, but this is my favorite reaction to this song on KZread. I'm able to geek out over all the music theory you're throwing out there while also feeling out on Bo. You're right, this song is so well thought out and put together. It's a damn modern day masterpiece.
I haven't listened to this guy in about 10 years -- thanks for putting him back on my radar!
I used to love bringing music to my guitar teacher that he never heard, and see his reaction exactly like yours. The gears start turning right away and you are able to make sense of even what this methodical madman put together. The sign of a great teacher. Bo Burnham is an insanely rare talent that people tend to look over.
