New Make Happy trailer calls Bo “Revolutionary,” “Important,” and says “His words will change the world.”

Whoever is in charge of putting together the front matter for Bo’s shit clearly simps for him as hard as me. But like, is it wrong? We all have Bo merch lying around our house. I’ve got the Inside vinyl on display like a shrine, and the signed artwork from the Deluxe hanging on my wall. All our stupid fucking ugly boring children are going to grow up with his funny face, and his words, as part of their lives. It’s crazy, I know. But I think when we look back on this time, in ten, twenty, fifty years, we’ll find that everything changed because of him.

I love Bo, and I love this sub.

I just got dumped by someone I truly loved, and this is the first place I came to for comfort. I love all your weird Bo obsessions. I'm literally crying and listening to old Dance Gavin Dance right now, but still somehow smiling because the top of my screen says r/boburnham. I love you all and I hope you have good nights. And hey, if your night sucks, stay here for a few minutes.

I honestly think you all and Bo himself have kept me alive. Seriously, if you're reading this, you're a life-saver.

If you feel froggy, post your favorite Bo lines or your random thoughts in the comments <3

Any Caroline Konstnar fans here?

I don't really know what more else to say other than I feel Bo Burnham and Caroline Konstnar have a lot in common, with slightly different approaches.

Is Spotify trolling or have I had this What’s Funny lyric wrong all this time?

Okay so I went through a Bo Burnham phase a few years ago and I was listening to some of his music this afternoon, and I noticed this lyric on Spotify. I always thought it was “so I just call him “black Jamal” even though his name is Steve.” Has the line been “what up, Jamal?” this whole time or is Spotify just mistaken?

If someone were to recreate inside would it be more impactful to put living in the future before or after all eyes on me

Cover of Goodbye

Hi everyone!! So like you, inside impacted me in a deeply personal and profound way so I made this cover of one of my favorite songs! I tried my best to make it look/sound nice. I’m not a singer so please don’t judge too harshly :)

Make happy

Really struggling when this special came out in 2016. Learned every single word. It’s my favorite thing he’s ever done. Inside is close. Been watching make happy for the last few nights after my break up and dog passing. Thank God for Bo

Bo's words at the beginning of AEOM Outtakes

Bo's words at the beginning of All Eyes On Me from the Outtakes perfectly encapsulate how my own depression makes me feel. Currently listening to this and sobbing because I feel like I've lost, right now.

I need some distraction so I thought I'd make this post. I'm interested in hearing how you all relate to these lyrics. (transcription from the netflix subtitles)

This fuckin'...

I don't know what went wrong.

It's beat me down.

I feel...

I'm done being sad.

Oh, my phone makes me sad, ooOooh!

Who cares? Um...

I've lost.

Can’t find a certain skit 😭

There’s a skit where he shows a new song to a friend, but it’s just the chorus or the hook? It was years ago and now we have YouTube shorts, 15 sec stories, and Spotify just announced new short vertical content.

This skit is perfect and way ahead of its time, but I can’t find it anywhere!

[old] Rich Roll review of INSIDE!

I searched far and wide to see if anyone had made a post or even a comment of this, nothing... thought I would go ahead and share it then.

"I'm at a loss to figuring out the language to describe it because it is so unlike anything I've ever seen. And I think it entertains and operates on so many levels." | Rich Roll
I couldn't agree more.

I came across this interesting old review of INSIDE on the Rich Roll podcast while I was searching for content in relation to Cal Newport and that popped up instead so I gave it a watch and was not disappointed.
He does a very good job at trying to explain and pick at the core of the film.
What great terms Self-referential and Self-flagellation and he even calls back to this 1944 existentialist French play by Jean paul Sartre as well, I bet Bo knows about it.

Well enjoy!

Today at work I linked to the Bluetooth speaker

I work construction, it’s nice to have music on and with multiple people out today it was easier to get my wide ranging and weird taste in music over the speaker

Before too long Art is Dead comes on and the only other guy there (project manager) goes:

‘I can’t think of his name, but there’s a comedian on Netflix you might like

Is his name Bo Burnham?

Yes!!

Yeah, this is Bo and I promise you’ll hear a lot more Bo including stuff from Inside’ (the only special he’s seen)

I’ve been laughing about having someone recommend Bo to me ever sense and thought maybe someone here would get a giggle

Since everyone’s been sharing Conan clips, here’s one with Bo giving his advice to young people: “Just take a deep breath and give up.”
