Savanna Davis I found something!!!! He is okay!!!!! Go to UKposts and search ‘bo burnham vulture interview’ and watch it. It is an interview of him 2 years(I think) after he performed this, and it really gave me closure

Reminds me of a joke from the watchmen: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor...I am Pagliacci.

This is simply not true. Good comedy requires vulnerability. Look at Bobcat Goldthwait and Andrew Dice Clay, both comedians who were portraying characters, but who was the better comedian? Whereas Dice got by on saying the shit that most people wished that had the stones to say, Goldthwait's appeal was that he conveyed how a lot of us FEEL most of the time: on the edge and ready to snap, i.e. the feeling Bo Burnham communicates so well in this song.

He’s amongst the best, if not the best of our generation. Bill Hicks was of his generation, Carlin and Pryor for theirs, and now it’s Bo. All of them, so different from each other, still they showed their vulnerability on stage in such an authentic way. Very few people who truly love comedy are not extremely vulnerable as well. Have a good one unknown brother ✌️

@@jhetgrabis6137I think we can both agree Bo is a master. What we won’t agree on is that “good comedy requires vulnerability”… they’re are a lot of great comedians that do not get very vulnerable… in many cases there anecdotes are fake to push a joke, the jokes are surface or just silly… I don’t want to name & downplay some of the greats, because they’re still great… but Bo’s work is next level it’s tragedy with humor on the side, depression as an entree with a dad joke as an appetizer… he somehow merges his own vulnerabilities he’s actually dealing with as a performer & comedian into his own performances… that is super super rare. That is PEAK level comedy, in itself the whole performance wrapped up in a ribbon is tragic yet hilarious how it’s presented… not even mentioning a specific piece of the skit but just the theme. Running around from piano to mic, to led light show, to “live” audio mixing & feedback…. It’s next level comedy. Even the greats right now bow down to this man & his ability to perform on every level as if he’s not even trying that hard…

I feel you, but this song is probably #deeper than that

But THATS the thing, it is way more than just pringle cans and burritos. Well, depending on what level you analyze it at. Either way, if you think this song is literally about food or his debilitating internal struggle of being a comedian, everyone can appreciate how amazing this is.

And that is his genius

Right there with you.

@@SeanHummer Yeah, that part hits the hardest.

Seeking attention

@Royhoy no hate, what would he gain, he left comedy for 5 years to improve himself, if he left comedy why would it be?

The fun thing is that he said he has panic attacks on stage. So sometimes he actually has a freaking mental breakdown stacked on this and STILL says thank you.

His humility humbles me.

@@glitter_skeleton35 O.O

I heard the thank you as an accusation. I think its deeper than just a simple thank you.

@Alexander Gross I can see why you heard it as an accusation. As a third party it fits the theme. But it neglects thinking from his perspective. He needs his fans, loves them, in equal parts to fearing them and hating them. But he's intelligent. He knows the fear and the hate come from a place of insecurity in himself (that we can all relate to) and even though his emotions may run rampant on his brain, intellectually he doesn't put that on us. Not all of us, anyway. Some people out there are mean, cruel, demanding, entitled. We all know this. This is the internet generation. But he did SHARE himself. That felt pretty raw. Pretty real. Gotta say, I've always loved Bo's work, but... I respect him on a whole new level now.

It's powerful. He did the same social commentary in "White Woman's Instagram", and it kills me inside to relate. This self-obsessed woman's monotonous, picture perfect depiction of her life is comically exaggerated for us. Then we hit the post where she writes this touching tribute to her dead mom. She speaks from the heart about her life since her death, alludes that her father is deceased too... before jumping right back in to her staged photography posts. As someone who lost their mom in 2010, JFC, I wish I could Kareoke this, but I would break down crying at "A Goat Cheese Salad...a backlit hammock...", just as I always do every time I hear it. She "goes back to doing her job" of keeping up this appearance she has set for herself for the other 364 days of the year... It's her brand. But the 10 year anniversary of her death is the shred if permission she gives herself to express the painful things in her life too. And I am grateful Bo used this performance to do the same. 😭 "....a Goat Cheese Salad".

What are you talking about? In what way is he underrated?? If everybody knows him, hes making movies, sellin out tickets, getting respect and getting millions of views.. Stop using this phrase for no reason.

@sashka9399 everybody doesn't know him and no, I won't stop saying it. That saying is very underrated as it is.

End of the bit he lays out what he attempts to give the audience "I hope you're happy" Bruh.

Exactly. Just because someone jokes around doesn't mean they're happy. It's just to distract yourself from yourself and to disract others from what you're trying to do to yourself.

That is the part when I first watched this where I just stopped laughing and just listened silently

biting off more than you can chew/not realising that adult life is messy and can't be wrapped up in a neat little package/if you try to hold everything inside you unpredictable parts will come spilling out at any moment and you have no control over that/how things look 'on the menu' (in your imagination) is no guarantee of how it'll turn out in real life, and probably more but that's just off the top of my head, I'm assuming that's the kind of thing you mean?

Burst out laughing at this

But then they cheer when he goes back into the funny part

@@lordofthesloths_7734 I think it was more amazement (because of how the lights have changed etc etc) instead of cheering for the silly part. The audience definitely understood what was going on and you, in contexts like these, when youre part of the audience, cant really show appreciation and support in any other way besides applauding and letting your voice being heard.

@@isratzahanbhuiyan7510 yeah, it would also be awkward if the audience was quiet for the rest of the show.

When I watched him perform this live in Portland, OR, the audience was dead silent when the song got serious, all the way until he finished. It was really heavy and intense, and it stuck with me more than anything else I’ve ever seen live. Bo is a special person. I’m glad he’s stopped touring for the sake of his mental health, but I would love so much to see him live again.

@@lordofthesloths_7734 I think the burrito was more of a metaphor for his life. He wouldn't have made certain choices if he knew the outcome, that he has many regrets. The audience probably clued into that.

yep “you can tell them anything if you just make it funny, make it rhyme”

And the whole he’d rather blow his dad before eating a burrito with a fork

@@justinb1382 ??

And how if he knew all the ingredients wouldn’t fit he would’ve left some stuff behind.

I like that, great observation

It's the same with All Eyes On Me, when he's speaking seriously he's masking behing autotune so it can still pass as a comedy. There is an edit of All Eyes On me sung with his normal voice and, seriously, it sound almost terrifying.

*It feels good to finally go back and work on Osana and finish her* *- Recent Osana video from Yandev* There you have it folks He never worked on Osana and only did a little bit which implies his laziness and immaturity.

Thats true the whole special had insane lighting

@@lucasnogueira1137 he is so good at utilising the stage and lights its more of a theatre preformance than a comedy special

He wanted his name in lights when he could’ve fed a family of four for forty fucking fortnights

That’s part of the genius with this bit, it’s layered. The lights are over the top and ridiculous, so it’s funny. But they’re also emotional and they come in when he’s driving home the emotional point, so you still understand his emotional message. But it’s delivered in a comedic, comfortable way. He’s fantastic.

Gavin Hickson stfu

As if it was a direct shot at the crowd of blaming them. Or in the hopes that they were satisfied with the performance he just gave.

I took it that he genuinely hoped they were happy as he felt so shit.

#deep

+Nerian It's all fun and games until you realise how fucking real and deep this guy is.

Yeah i'm kind of shocked by these songs, there's the first layer of comedy and then the internal dialogue of irony but then it just hits that layer of truth most comics are way too afraid to go into, that dark honesty about self doubt and fear of never meeting the standards you set for yourself. The only other comic I know of who was able to put his own life out there like that was Greg Giraldo, he was always known as "that insult comic guy for the roasts" but Greg's worst insults were always reserved for himself and the reason he was funny was because he noticed all the details of any situation he was in and could zero in on the horrific but funny aspects of every day irony, having a mind like that is why I think so many of these guys want to be numbed out by drugs. They want to be just as oblivious as the people they make fun of and the fact that they can't seems to be why they're miserable in real life.

No Inside was, though this is still astounding

@@sammybutler3027 No doubt Inside is Bo's M.O. on the scale of specials. I think this is Bo's M.O. when comparing all of his songs individually. It is just my perspective though. What do you think is Bo's Magnum Opus song?

He was not "wrong" about himself, his coming back was something completely else and it was good that he took a pause.

I don’t think he was really wrong, you discovered him completely different then how probably most of the people in the audience did. I won’t pretend to know Bo’s past as I wasn’t there when it happened but from what I can tell a good few people did view him as the “funny music man”

Yeah, do your research before drawing conclusions. The timeline you discovered him and the timeline of… well reality, don’t align. He’s self aware to a damaging degree, which not many performed have. I doubt he’s wrong and you’re right. You’re doing the exact thing that he’s saying hurts him. Telling him you know him better than he knows himself. Jesus man

He wasn’t afraid, per se. He literally “couldn’t handle” the pressure he felt to “make [his audience] happy.” Despite the success and the love fans threw at him, he didn’t feel fully satisfied, fully happy. There’s a lot of pressure placed on public figures to be Exactly what their fans expect them to be 100% of the time. Most people see success and think rich + adored = happy but that’s just not how it works. It’s very relatable to someone who’s struggled with anxiety and depression the majority of their life; the cruelty of it is no matter what’s going on in your life, no matter how happy other people would be in your [Bo’s] situation, you just cannot feel truly satisfied/happy no matter how hard you try. There’s a great irony that accompanies many comedians: make people laugh & have a great time… then go home and be miserable. Feel like you’re letting them down when they gave you everything you have.

​@brigittescott8128 from my experience with him over the last 8 years and the subtext from the songs on Inside and the extras that he cut and released with the outtakes/bad takes, it seemed to me like he was/still is suffering with extremely deep imposter syndrome and regret for the edgy jokes he used to make in this older material, on top of his depression and anxiety that was hitting it's peak back then with Netflix breathing down his neck to make them more content. His jump from UKposts to touring with Netflix specials and also doing Vines, and getting to this breaking point where he was feeling empty and unfulfilled, deeply anxious and forcing himself to keep going to not disappoint anyone, ending with a spiral and desire to just run away and never come back in this age of constant connection through the screen in your pocket, it's completely relatable and heartbreaking to learn about. Inside was an excellent encapsulation of that gnawing relapse and the doubling-down on the predatory nature of companies on the internet, and the Outtakes give a very real look into the simmering self-loathing just beneath the surface when he messed up on a take. So many people expect him to be perfect, Netflix are likely hounding him to make more content after the release of Inside, I just hope that he finds things he enjoys doing and gets back to that place of contentment he found before Covid hit because I don't think his "in 2030 I'll be 40 and kill myself then" line was completely a joke

I cried at that part

Oh Its Brooks he said himself he is taking a break, but recently he's been doing local shows and testing new material

It's a wonderful demonstration of the power of truly FELT and _suffered for_ honesty to punch through reality and into Reality. Truly a glitch in the matrix moment. At least that's my estimation. I don't know anything of his story, but the sort of things he says and observes in his songs, you don't arrive at those insights through "thinking positive" and "self esteem". You earn them by paying attention during very hard times. Or so I figure.

@@seashley8931 we truly are vulnerable we think money is the end of all accomplishments we won but usually winning is the worst part of life the challenge is the best part thats why the phrase "its about the journey not the destination" is so true

He truly breaks my heart. To see such a talented artist and sensitive human being opening up like this just hurts. It seems like he is easily lacerated, and not easily mended.

@@jigme800 should really look into some of his new stuff. hes gotten a lot better mentally.

Those 4 words are a two-edged sword - they are spoken with generosity by the part of him that loves us....and with bitterness by the part of him that hates us. I don't blame him - he offers us his all and what he wants back, we can't give him, no matter how badly we want to. It has to come from within him. I hope he knows how to find it, now. I hope he can see how beautiful he is.

I return to this video for that damned line. It makes me tear up under the right circumstances.

Exactly

Funniest line I've ever heard because it's so true

the penultimate line

@@X249J ain't alone king

It's not the audience exactly; it's his WANT for one. It's his want to perform, but the larger his audience he gets, the more expectations he realizes are set for him and it scares the shit out of him. Remember: he came from writing joke songs in his room as a teenager to selling out theaters and the jump was comparatively super sudden. He's scared of himself. The entire concept of being Famous scared him, and it's clear right from the beginning.

@@ThePageofCups holy moly…

@@ThePageofCups while i dont have experience in this, it is clear that being famous, especially in the position he was in, is or can be a lot harder than anyone would imagine, he would always have the need to entertain his audience, but the thing is with anything there will always be haters, even if they are part of your audience and that would have made his situation even more difficult, because as an entertainer he wanta to make everyone happy, but sadly that is pretty much impossible. I really hope he is doing much better now.

I love your description of it. Or interpretation of it.

Yup.

Really interesting thought

YEP....the littlest thing finally snaps the fucking tightrope you live with every day

Legend has it that Nzietche finally snapped when he witnessed a Horse being whipped by its owner in the street.

I don't know you and I don't want to make a generic comment like "you can do it!". But I will say, that if you don't think you can handle it right now just keep doing what you are doing a little while longer. Eventually you will have done it. Good luck Internet stranger. You got this.

If he's happy I'm happy

I never got the impression that he was driven to perform. I think that people "discovered" him on UKposts and convinced him that he needed to go on tour. I think he's happier doing his commentary a la creative output without the pressure of performing it.

8th grade was great!

I’m sure directing comes with plenty of anxiety too, though

Yes, so much agreement. He is such a visionary and talented performer. Any medium he chooses he will shine in and I will support. 🙌🏼

Just shows how easy it is to hide mental health with comedy or a smile. Hits pretty damn hard man😪.

And the applause that only restarted when he did kinda just exemplifies his point

Yeah man, this stuff hits hard. The majority of artists that make music, comedy, heck even art all have this preassure from their fans and have stuff going on in their personal life that they cant talk about since they are most likely in a contract that basically means they are property to a brand, thus for making the person develop so much emotional, mental and just overall strain. It sucks because even though im not sure if bo is in a contract, I'm fairly sure everyone knows bo had anxiety before and has developed a lot more issues during his time as a musician/comedian. This world sucks man. The Idols people look up to have a mask they put on, a fake identity per say because they want to keep their fans happy without keeping them selves happy and if they are in a contract that definitely doesn't help.

@@nokiahmotorz01 noticed that as well. But I think it was a lot of respect being quiet. He said, if only a bit of what he wanted and needed and for that moment they all listened, intently. I'd be hard pressed to imagine it didnt strike a cord with a few in the audience who feel the same. So when he went back yes applaudingnmoght be weird but, it went just the immediate moment they were applauding for. I hope anyways.

He’s always been upfront and honest. He just hides behind a curtain of comedy and satire. The audience only gets the comedy/satire aspect until they reflect on it later and realize he was actually speaking out. He said it best himself with “you can tell me anything, if you just make it funny, make it rhyme. If they still don’t understand you than you run it one more time.”
