Mate, this is the only reaction video I've found by anyone your age that actually seems to get it. He plays the part of the internet itself, and this song is directed squarely at your generation, at those who are living on social media, putting every thought out for public scrutiny...because by starting with that metaphorical iPad so young, they've been addicted to the internet so long they don't even realize it, and certainly can't break that habit, even if they are bored and apathetic. And thus the laugh and the sneer in the final reprise - the internet is effectively your dealer, and you're hooked.

I thought so. It’s such a unique idea to write a song like that and it honestly turned out amazing.

Bo is THE Millennial comic. I can't think of any other comedian who has encompassed the generation throughout their career like he has.

That's because that's who Bo is,he's not a stand-up comedian,he's a stand-up philosopher!

I think you're the first person I've seen directly realize that he is playing the character of the Internet. I love the way this song constantly jumps from 0 to 100 and right back down again.

Correction He's playing the founders, designers, and financial backers of the internet. The internet is just content with a sprinkling of human interaction. The malevolence inherent in lines like "And it did all the things we designed it to do" and "if we stick together, who knows what what we'll do" implies that those unknown individuals who force feed us content have ulterior motives when they create something "good" and that we cannot possibly predict what they'll do next, so long as they stick together as a collective with a common goal, and so long as we are not allowed to peer outside of this new technologically designed perception of the world.

Your reaction was the most fulfilling and pleasureable one of all the reactions I've seen on this song, I don't say that lightly. I usually avoid reaction channels in a wide range, but at the moment I'm obsessed with Bo and his work and I've just binge watched over a dozen reactions of each of his songs from inside and even some from the other 3 shows. I don't usually comment on youtube, but I have to voice my opinion here and I need to say that seeing your initial reaction and body language to the song made me watch intensely your every move (hopefully that didn't creep you out), it was like watching my baby niece seeing a butterfly for the first time. I really appreciate the appreciation you showed to the song, so much so, that I'm going to scour your channel for more Bo reactions. I'll consider subscribing after that.

i think this song might be one of the hardest songs vocally. the very fast-paced section near the start, the countless moments of going forever without a breath, the laugh, all of the ways he shifts his vocal cords to give a different vibe, the sudden bpm change near the end, and the repeated "anything and everything" at the end, and Bo pulled it off perfectly.

dude im 22 and i remember the chatrooms and the blogs, everyone and their mothers were writing a blogs

I remember hearing this song for the first time. The evil laugh and the change in tone gave me CHILLS

Bo Burnham is unbelievable. I love this guy. He has great comedy songs, but my favorite songs of his that hit deep (even if they're also very hilarious). I'd recommend From God's Perspective, Art is Dead, and Can't Handle This (Kanye Rant), BUT I would highly recommend if you watch Can't Handle This, follow it up with Are You Happy. They really go hand in hand, and those two back to back are how his Make Happy special ends.

I watch reaction videos all the time. Like way too much. Like thousands and thousands. This is one of my favorite first time reactions to anything I've ever watched. You just completely 'get it' right off rip, your energy is awesome and you have a great perspective. I'm enthusiastically subbing. You having only ~7.6k subs is ridiculous. I wish you all the success in the world JoJo.

I love the fact that he is the persona of the internet in this song

This is one of the best reaction channels for music that I have seen I a hot minute! Keep up the great work! You earned a sub!

I am so impressed with and excited by your reaction. It is definitely one of the best Bo Burnham reactions I've seen (I've seen a lot) - you get him right off the bat much better than so many other youtubers. And also, you're simply entertaining and insightful to watch :)

It theorized that the Bo we see singing is an AI online speaking to us to get our attention in the first section the second would be when you first found out about the internet and you get hooked and the dark tone at the end with the maniacal laugh shows the dark side of the internet

I have watched 4 "reacts" to his video. This was my favorite. "Welcome to the Internet" is porb my favorite video ever, And I'm old enough to predate almost any video. Thanks for your reaction.

I normally hate reaction vids but you react when you pause AND you skip back to not miss anything. noice

8:02 i was listening to this while playing *this literally gave me chills*

The smaller youtubers are always so much better than the big ones

Please react to more Bo Burnham. I highly recommend "All Eyes on me" and "Art is dead" Great reaction and love took it apart.

If you want to fast track into Bo's recent works I highly highly suggest you start with a song from his previous comedy special. Start with Can't Handle This (Kanye Rant). It really sets the tone for what comes next. It was the song that ended his previous tour and it serves as the touch stone for much of the Inside special. Once you steam through his recent works you will probably want to go through his back catalog and see how things progressed. But knowing where things wound up gives watching his earlier work a different sense of things. Welcome to the Internet stands on its own just fine. The but much of the rest of Inside hinges on what we learn from the Kanye Rant. So start there.

You should check out "can't handle this". It's a more personal song about how he deals with his sudden fame and popularity. It's a great song to get to know him a little better.

one of the best BB reactions i have seen, so far, you gotta react to "All Eyes On Me" next! its even better! thanks bro.

Near the end you were talking about how you weren't sure whether he was us talking to the internet, or the internet talking to us. I'm pretty sure that it's both, cuz he very specifically uses words with multiple meanings, or that sound the same as other words, such as "Set our Sights [or sites, meaning websites] and spent our nights waiting for... you, you, insatiable you" Also his use of the word watchable to me works with this because, well, the internet is designed to be watchable; and to watch you right back

Ya know the way no can just flip from a welcoming figure into someone who wants to sell your soul is probably coolest thing he can do apart from ya know The bops

"How the world works" is even more shocking with the same comedic overtones imo.

Agreed. Can't Handle This before All Eyes On Me. Some of his old stuff (Words, Words, Words, Im Bo Yo, 3.14 Apple Pi, etc) is a bit more immature but...I mean he was what 16? Frankly for a 16yo they're relatively mature. Bo's a great one and well worth checking out more of

Inside is a masterpiece. There are several songs on there just as good as this one, or arguably better. It's funny but, at the same time, thought-provoking. It also gets heavy/sad at times. You should watch it. You won't be disappointed.

i love when songs like this are people's first taste of bo. seeing them lose their crap at his unexpected jokes makes my day

"Could i interest you in EVERYTHING, ALL of the Time? Apathy is a TRagedy and Boredom is a Crime", somehow these lines really resonated... Its like its Fobidden by Law to be bored or have a simple life these days..., you are in a "need" for "Content" and "entertainement" to the point of puking it...

In this song he is 100% portraying the internet. He is the internet personified and singing to you.

Comedy _always_ works better when it's made of facts.

Even when i heard the song, my reaction was same as yours lol. Everytime i go to my PC, i just listen to it nonstop hahahaha

I just had a Facebook memory yesterday from 15 years ago and at the end it said “pics on MySpace” haha

really enjoyed your reaction. i hope you do more bo. i suggest Words Words Words or Kanye Rant

This song is more true than my life

i have just been down a deep rabbit home watching various people react to this song. MANY people. & you are the FIRST person your age that i have seen who realized that he (speaking as “the internet”) was talking to YOU … of course it is obvious to old farts like me (30 years older than you) but for some reason virtually nobody your age seems to get it. except you. you are a smart cookie.

I really, really enjoyed your reaction! I hope you watch the rest of Inside. I wish I could watch it with you and watch your reactions! lol

5:48 You looked at the camera and the computer back-n-forth like if you were responsible for it. That was a funny ass reaction lmfao! XD

When he's explaining how the Internet has groomed you notice the melodrama use of the screen on the backs colors. It's classic, blue is safe, red is devious and green is the unsettling Fucking brilliant

Ayo I get that, I'm in the age range where neither of Bo's examples apply, but damn do I agree with the message.

i hear someone knocking ur door every seconds ngl.. it gives me goosebumbs i thought someone knocking my door

Start from the beginning of Bo’s channel and wonder at the genius of a 16yo make his way to ‘Inside’

9:16 imo he's talking from the position of the ones who designed the ipad(and similar tech) to do all the things they designed it to do and then continues with "It was always the plan to put the world in your hand, (literally, a smartphone).

Forgot to suggest that it may make sense to watch Can't Handle This (Kanye Rant) and Are You Happy from his last special in that order before you dive into Inside. I think they give some context as to where he was coming from.

This guy's existence is literally a Jojo reference.

Inside has a lot of really funny songs but like most of his stuff, as you’ll quickly find out, takes a sharp turn at a certain point so 😂

7:36 What do you mean? What kind of shitty comedy have you been watching all your live? This is one of the most accurate representations of comedy, it's the best form of art on it's purest and finest. Comedy has always been like this, so glad you liked it.

You broke at the "feet" part? *_W_* *_E_* *_A_* *_K_* .

Notice the distinct use of the phrase: who knows what we'll do rather than the more common phrasing: who knows what we could do. The nefarious undertones slipped in, just under the surface as though he's playing with you knowing you won't notice the real intention right before blowing it all wide open and mocking you knowing he's already won.

i guess that's the way to talk to the next generation about what is happening without sounding condescending
