I recently saw a reuploaded video of bo burnham' s deleted song "The Perfect Woman" and now I'm curious as to how many views it had before it got deleted
I haven't seen anyone post about this book in awhile and would love to know anyone (and everyone's) favorite poem/passage from Egghead.
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 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
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.
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 you had the chance to have Bo preform a one on one only for you but he can only play one song which song would you pick?
She posted on IG that there will be “special surprise guests.” 👀
I got no friend who are a fan of him or even understand his peak humor and genius
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 :)
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
Episode #4 tonight on HBO / HBO Max. Bo appeared in the first episode - our thread found here, and is definitely in more, but whether he's in this one remains to be seen.
Description: Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show is a comedy television documentary series, directed by Ari Katcher. It follows Jerrod Carmichael, as he navigates friends, family, and strangers, in his quest for love, sex, and connection.
Trailer found here.
Thread is sorted by new (chat mode).
#Edit: Yet again no Bo.
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.
The Socko yall requested on my previous drawing.
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!
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!
Anybody know if he still sells merch anywhere besides the vinyls? I couldn’t afford any of the clothes at the time of drop but I wanna get some now 🫠
For legal reasons this is a joke ( it actually is)
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
