Hey y’all! Thanks for being here - I appreciate it. Let’s get emotional together 💙
love your vids soo much keep going!!!!!
This was an emotional roller-coaster, but thanks for it!
We love these type of videos, don't keep yourself from making more stuff like this!
Thanks. Beautiful.
There are so many reaction videos to Bo’s film/special/album/exercise in self-torment and it makes me so happy to see how deeply he’s impacted so many people.
He’s a genius, yeah yeah, fifty years from now this will be on the same short list of earth-shattering movies with “Citizen Kane”, “Casablanca”, “2001: A Space Odyssey”, “Good Burger” etc.
But, I think, what’s far more important than the staggering accomplishment we’ve just witnessed is the extraordinary benefit that’s come in its wake which is that people are talking. We’re talking about the human condition, we’re talking about existential dread, we’re talking about how to frame your IG post so you can maximize likes.
Public discourse has been raised from Grade A poopy-kaka to something that might actually get us off the dime.
Soooo…
“Get yer fuck’n hands up, get on out of yer seats.”
I believe this is the first I've seen of you and I can respect getting emotional on camera, you've got another sub here.
"stop im literally going to cry and i don't know why" is just about the best way to describe this entire show and it only hits you why until after you've watched the show while sitting in your bedroom in dark silence in the middle of the night.
I literally did taht, it ended and I looked around the room it dark BC I forgot to turnnon a light and everything just flowed even known I watched by he entire tying with tears in my eyes.
haha thats how i watched it the first time as well.
It wasn’t even like normal crying. Tears where just falling and I couldn’t stop it. It was like subconscious crying. Like my soul was hurting
@@simonedmondson8875 well, i mean
it is, after all
hurting, i mean
accurate
We love Bo Burnham in this household.
we truly do
Vouch
love the sal pfp
I guess you could say that everybody INSIDE your household loves him
@UC-YcjZTJKZzo516RFQX0uCA i’m pretty sure theirs are the omni flag and the pangender flag!
honestly don’t feel bad for getting emotional. i cried too, i didn’t want it to be over and the end was so sad like AHHHH
Watch it over and over like the rest of us
@@felixtysz3042 I DO, IVE BEEN WATCHING IT LIKE DAILY FOR THE PAST WEEK AND HALF (still cry every time 😎)
Almost everyone cried
I just got an while watching this saying dont cry u big baby😔
@@sungjinwoop2143 w h a t
Spoilers for end:
The ending, with him banging on door, and everyone laughing just gives me horrible chills and makes my eyes water. The idea of finally getting out, only to regret it and not have the option to go back, meanwhile everyone is laughing at your panic as though youre joking...
I dont know *why* i relate to it so well, but it makes my stomach drop.
I finished inside last night and I almost cried at that part too
There was a podcast I listened to where bo talked about being very happy with the level of fame he has and not wanting to have more. And how he never really gets recognized on the street.
And now with the success of inside, that visual of him stuck outside on display and not able to get back in just hits harder. Especially seeing all over social media people getting pictures with him and running into him on the street (someone even snuck a video of him having a heated cell phone convo outside a coffee shop and you could tell he realized he was being filmed half way through).
I’m so thankful we got Inside but really feel bad he basically sacrificed his anonymity to give it to us (I’m sure he had no idea it would blow up this much).
@@crycrywolf Oh no. That makes me feel bad for hyping it. When I watched it the first I'm I promised myself I wouldn't talk about it. But since it's already become insanely popular, I thought there's not harm at this point. I just don't know how to protect people from fame. It's like, literally impossible to do anything about it once the ball starts rolling. That level of lack of control seems terrifying. I was told that you shouldn't become famous unless you are an attention-seeking personality type, otherwise it's not worth it.
It only occurred to me watching this video, but the part with him watching it on projection in the dark is a parallel of earlier in the special, where he watched his early TH-cam videos the same way.
I feel the exact same way
I think That Funny Feeling is describing Bo's anxiety and existential dread. He starts by apologising for being bad when everyone already knows he can play and sing. The the lyrics show how when you're suffering with anxiety, almost any kind of thoughts can trigger "that funny feeling" whether they're about how fucked up the world is or just trying to get through a normal day. Having loving parents and a fun childhood doesn't protect you from developing mental illness in adulthood, and it makes you look forward to the end.
Anyone with anxiety knows that funny feeling, when your stomach knots and your heart races but often you aren't even exactly sure what the cause it. Sometimes it's nothing and sometimes it's just everything. If you've experienced it, Mathew, I'd imagine you started feeling emotional because he's hitting those beats whether you consciously realised it at the time or not.
That funny feeling rlly hits in a mental and physical way for me because somehow when I'm listening to the lyrics it manages to give me "that funny feeling", so it really proves the meaning of the songs
The meaning of the song it's explained when you "google derealisation, hate what you find", which also explains why the song seems so "vague" in a way that prevents us from really grasping the meaning behind it
The song isn’t as obvious but the picture he paints with each verse is clear. The creeping suspicion that humanity is approaching oblivion
it's my favourite song because i genuinely feel connected to it
interestingly i didn't know why when i first listend to it
Thank you for explaining this so well. You've helped me understand a little better what others struggle with ❤
Also what's interesting about all eyes on me, when viewed out of context, it's still a pretty heavy song. When viewed in the context of the whole special, the emotional weight of All Eyes On Me, is almost unbearable.
Definitely cried, but it felt so good.
10/10 will watch over and over again.
all eyes on me paired up with cant handle this is a big hit
such a good cry, like the best cry
I’ve watched inside like 30 times already 😭
same here mate
Same 💀
me too
I’ve watched it 7 and I thought that was a lot 😂
saaame
the “i am not… well” part makes me cry every time. especially when he broke out in tears.
And he cried exactly the same way as in “press A to cry”
I mean, when you think about it. We are basically applauding Bo for his mental breakdown, like it's a piece of artwork. .. There it is again, that funny feeling ...
We are applauding him for owning it, talking about it and packing into something almost all of us could relate to after the past year.
@@cidronin6339 Yeah I know (and also because he is a genius) it was just a thought that came to mind.
well yes but... Isn't it what we do with most of art masterpieces? If you think at (for example) writters, they are the group with more cases of depression and mostly all the great literature books come from persons who struggled a lot with life, even killing themselves. Sooo I wouldn't find to strange to applaud a piece of art borned in a mental breakdown and reflecting it. But your point is quite true still.
I get you and I kind of get that vibe from reaction videos taking the songs out of context, especially given Burnham's send up of reaction videos (which I haven't seen anyone react to...meta of the meta of the meta...it's turtles all the way down apparently). I am not here for the idea that mental illness is part of genius or artistic expression. I think to do something new or compelling you have to experience the world differently and/or filter it differently and I can see that also predisposing people to problems like mental illness and addiction. But that's a correlation, a common cause leading to two different unrelated things, artistry and mental illness. In fact things like depression and some addictions are probably terrible for artistic expression and ruin talent and more importantly lives.
i mean most of it is scripted
all eyes on me is so fucking emotional its so hard to not cry to it
It made me emotional but I didn't cry. Only two things make me cry: Anime and really depressing video games.
The "I'm not well" right before it starts is what really got to me :(
@@TheGamingCathedral ME TOOOOO AHHHHHH
Same. I kinda felt like it was his way of saying "I was ready, damnit! I was ready to get back onstage! Well fuck this, and fuck quarantine, you're the audience and I'm the performer, watch me and clap for me because here we go" I think that's why he was angry when he said stand up, and why he's so insistent on getting attention in the lyrics. He normally hates attention, but he did so much work getting over his fear that he didn't want it to go to waste.
For some reason the line "does anybody want a joke when no ones laughing in the background" in Goodbye broke me so bad I started crying really hard for no reason!!!!
Me too. This song it’s so sad and beautiful. It’s my favorite one.
Not for no reason! it's incredibly emotional. You're allowed to cry
Bo Burnham: *releases content
Me: "oh cool, i need a pick me up, let's go"
Narrator: "past experiences had taught this man nothing"
I imagine the narrator as Morgan Freeman.
I imagined the narrator as the narrator from the Stanley parable 💀
I imagined the narrator from Kurzgesagt 🗿
Bo Burnham is the comedian that's made me cry the most, and not once has it been from laughter.
he's the only comedian that can consistently make me cry every time. never laughter.
That Funny Feeling: "The quiet comprehending of the ending of it all."
All Eyes on Me: "You say the world is ending, honey, it already did."
Goodbye: "So this is how it ends, I promise I'll never go outside again."
This special was one long existential gut punch that will last the rest of your life, but it actually feels better to know we're not alone than it did to emotionally avoid what we know.
And welcome to the internet: everything all of the time
Bezos 1 is my favorite song, its so short but something abt it scratches my brain
the synth solo is so good
@@oliver4705 it really is
Yes! It's been stuck in my head for weeks now.
No joke. Whenever I’m listening to the album I always replay that song a few times before going on. It makes me feel some kinda way
this and welcome to the internet just makes my brain so happy
All Eyes on me is the song that hits the hardest cause it's the realest. It's the accumulation of all the anxiety and introversion built up within a year inside a room.
I’m not exaggerating when I say “Inside” is one of the best things ever created. It will be in my mind for the rest of my life and I both love it and hate it for that reason. It has affected me on a deep, deep emotional level and Bo to me is out of this world talented.
As someone who turned 30 in quarantine, his bit about his birthday kinda killed me. I felt that; because I did the same thing. I sat there in my house by myself, staring at the clock, waiting for the minute. Then, with the biggest feeling of anticlimactic energy ever, I got up, and kept cleaning my house for the night.
Well, a very late happy birthday to you!:)
Premire chat my beloved, half of us were talking about sand, and the other was crying
Don't feel bad, "All Eyes On Me" did that to literally EVERYONE
I'm legit still not over it
Not me. Goodbye it’s the one that hit me hard.
I didn’t cry at anything because I watched the special in parts but maybe if I watched the whole thing it would, although Goodbye made me realise its other and in the words of bo himself gave me ‘that funny feeling’
When Bo Broke down and said he wasn’t well. That made me cry. That made me feel existential dread. It was just too real for me.
Enjoyed this video dude, there's SO many low-effort TH-camrs reacting to his stuff at the moment and their only reaction is essentially "That was wierd" and EVERYTHING flies right over their heads. Which is SO frustrating to watch.
Very refreshing to see you picking up on so much of what he did, lighting, his voice, camera angles, what his songs are actually getting at etc. Gonna go check out some of your other vids 😊
i agree
just wanna say that BROADBAND has some incredibly insightful reactions to songs in this project and also other bo songs and i definitely recommend, as well as brad steele and suffi reax. all coming at it from different angles and i think they all have great insights
And yet he mysteriously left out Unpaid Intern. I wonder why
All Eyes on Me feels like the one song that hits so much different when you've watched it in context with the rest of the special
The song “Problematic” is one of my favorite songs by him. I’m surprised it’s not as popular as some of his other songs. It’s should be up there with “Welcome to the internet” and “How the world works”. Yes I do have the entire album on my playlist.
It's such a good 80's song on its own. The harmonies at the end are amazing.
It's such a banger, definitely deserves more credit
bo’s best song is definitely a world on fire and I stand by this
@@red_robin2243 agreed.
@@iamspeedkachow5926 how could you not
This special was one of those pieces of media that will forever live in my brain.
“All Eyes On Me” has got to be about his panics attacks and anxiety that he talked about how he felt whenever he was performing. The lyrics almost perfectly reflect the feelings that someone would have in that circumstance.
Especially when he says pray for me. He’s basically begging. Feels like me currently. Im about to be 31. 😅
5:22 I think Bo's use of his songs as Leitmotifs through the special really elevates the piece, both the 'look whose inside' and 'welcome to the internet' come back several times.
The anxiety I got from hearing the laughter at the end was so strange
just in case you didn’t know he’s specifically watching “My Whole Family Think’s I’m Gay” before Problematic. as a troubled youth who grew up on this man I recognized it immediately and I think he knew that his fans would recognize it.
I didn’t recognize it, but I think it’s probably because it wasn’t my favorite of his earlier works. 3.14 apple pie was much more funny and intelligent and rehab for fictional characters was his best in my opinion. The several videos I knew kinda meshed together so I could really only recognize the room and not the video.
There is a reprise of Content during the knife section btw. I never noticed until now
yeah I worried he was gonna cut himself for the content but then I saw it was only half done so I was reasonably certain it wasn't going down that way
And a reprise of “Look Who’s Inside Again” as the background music of the game Inside on the Twitch stream. Game brought to you by “SSRI Interactive”
The song that pushed me over the edge was the "possible ending song" where you get to the- "Well well looks whos inside again." And Bo is just naked in a chair and the words seem equaling shaming and mocking. Like well well look whos inside again said you would get better- just picking away at the person, putting a spot light on them. I don't think i even composed myself for the ending where people laugh at his break down. It really leaves you raw- and to anyone reading this who it didn't feel that way for you. Thats fine as well.
The emotional journey is incredible. How can I go from laughing to absolutely soul-crushed and emotional from a film shot by one guy in one room? The man is a genius and transcended to a true artist, not just a comedian.
Mathew: Hell yeah a solo!
Me: The whole thing is a solo cause he's lonely
shut up i almost spat my water
"Well, wasn't that a lot" is about the most perfect way I've heard of summing that experience up.
appreciated the "behind the scenes" bits where you showed yourself repeating phrases or sentences :) it felt like an even further connection to Inside
its not him! its bo burnham
You can tell an artist did their job when you're feeling things while engaging with their art and don't know why.
He got me through my senior year of high school, and now he's getting me through turning 31 in 2021. Mad props to him. Wish I could watch the whole thing but alas, I'm too poor currently for streaming services. And if that isn't the most millennial damn thing... Turning 30 in lock down was suuuuuper fun. This is an anthem of our generation.
I'm sure he won't mind if you pirate it if you can't afford it

ARE YOU A SWIFTIE BO BURNHAM FAN????
The first time I watched Inside, I openly cried when he said "Got it? Good, now get inside" during All Eyes on Me
The "I am not....well," moment hit me the worst when I watched, because I had moments just like that this past year, and I had trouble articulating it beyond just saying I wasn't well...
I started crying during "Look who's inside again" and just didn't stop till the whole show ends. It hit me so hard that in the end I spent half an hour staring at the television screen with no reaction. I was just crying not knowing exactly why but feeling really really sad.
My favorite thing about "That Funny Feeling" is that nobody can really find what feeling he's talking about? But everyone who listens to it, FEELS the connection between all of the examples he gives. "Female Colonel Sanders, easy answers, civil war."
Those have nothing to do with one another but when Bo puts them into a song they provoke an emotional response that I can't describe.
THIS. I couldn’t put my finger on it but as the song went on I got struck with this overwhelming sadness and heaviness.
I'm pretty sure it's existential dread mixed with depression
I'm only 19 and yet I'm terrified by the idea of not being a teenager anymore (quarter life crisis incoming....)
I’ve always been terrified of growing up. Quarantine has messed me up even more. When the pandemic started I was 15, a sophomore. Now I am a 17 year old senior. It doesn’t seem like that big of a difference, but I went from blowing bubbles in the backyard to discussing colleges with every single adult I talk to (that’s literally all we talk about) really fast.
@@abbyryan7410 it's been my biggest fear. That only sunk in my freshman year. And I used to have weekly panic attacks about it. I just graduated, and. Nothing has turned to shit yet. It's only been a couple weeks though.
@@evan_sunprince That really sucks, but that’s good that it’s gotten better. I wish you the best on your journey! If you ever find a way to slow life down let me know haha.
Same. I’m sixteen right now but the thought of growing up has already caused me a few attempted overdoses. We’ll get through this guys! I know it won’t mean much coming from a random commenter, but there’s a lot to look forward to in the future and it hopefully won’t be as bad as we think 😅.
Look I'm 21 (not that far off from you) and let me tell you the only diference is that I'm less dumb and take better decisions. Your fear is valid, but you will be able to deal with adulthood.
I was terrified too (still am but more of like moving out and living alone) but is gonna be fine, I was so terrified of not getting a job I thought I wasnt going to be able to get one but I DID yay.
Honestly the best reaction to the special. Sure we didn't have a precise reaction to everything, but this was so genuine and I loved that, "I don't know how to react to this on camera" is really the most accurate sentence because I don't know how I would have reacted if I was on camera ;)
Dude I started crying when All Eyes On Me started too. I literally felt the same way, like I knew why I was crying but I also didn't know. Just a whirlwind of emotions❤️
I watched this special during a really, really dark moment in my life. Exactly, every thing in this special was what I was going through, a lot of suicidal ideations as well. I was quickly spiraling and crashing down mentally and getting worse and worse by the minute. Watching this made me ball my eyes out... I didn’t know how to react. It’s like being hit by a train after being hit by a truck. It was something I couldn’t get out of my head since I’ve always talked about how screwed up everything is and people would just look at me with a funny face like I’m the crazy one. And I finally get this epiphany of “oh my god, I’m NOT crazy...” and that’s a very emotional moment. You are completely human for feeling that Mathew. I’m glad you took the time and patience and mental fortitude to sit through this special and give your reaction throughout, because I know how stressful, emotional, and difficult this journey really is.
The laughter at the end (right before any day now) in my opinion makes me think of when people laughed at him singing art is dead. I felt so bad for him :(
Don't feel bad. He put it in the middle of a comedy act on purpose to throw people for a loop. Sort of like "haha, I've got you eating out of my hand, time for some real shit". The laugher dies down over time and that's the reaction he wanted.
That’s exactly what I thought
Leaving in those couple outtake lines at the end hit so different after seeing you watch bo’s special 🤌
I'm weirdly glad about your reaction to "All eyes on me". This song hit me so much, I listened to it for several days straight. And I mean literally no other songs in between, just this one. And while I didn't tear up on the outside, it wounded me deeply on the inside. (no pun intended)
I started watching/listening to Bo a long time ago so I’m glad that he’s back!! I missed him (:
For myself 12:00
I remember crying when listening to that funny feeling too. It’s just so good and when u really listen to the lyrics u realize how hard U can relate to it and to be honest it hurts. But I think that’s the point of the song, it’s to know that’s how u feel and it makes me appreciate Bo so much more 🤍
I've said it before and I'll say it again:
I hope Bo knows we're proud of him
His pic on IG showing him watching the audience while they were watching Inside made me so emotional. I hope he got to feel some of the love directly.
I'm still not too sure why myself, but All Eyes On Me also made me cry on my first watch. I think it's the combination of his breakdown just before it, his history with anxiety, how beautiful and profound the music and visuals are, the list goes on. Definitely my favourite track of the special.
I love the version of "stuck in a room" that plays during the gamer bit
Sad we didn’t get much for That Funny Feeling. Has some of the most “oh fuck” lyrics in the special.
Inside deserves all the praise it got. Probably one of the most riveting pieces of media in this decade.
The best reaction to Inside I've seen. No posing and stuff for effect. Just real reaction. Great.
Time passing scares the hell out of me. There’s nothing I hate more than nostalgia.
I can't go on Facebook without being anxious because they're always showing me posts from years in the past. I'm obviously not the only one who hates that.
Bo Burnham is like the next Weird Al, I’m telling you man, he’s good.
those reprises are called leitmotifs. and one of my favorite musical tropes ever.
7:35 There’s also a ukulele cover of “Content” during his knife message here
"Got some 70s synth pop going on." 80s synth pop man. 80s.
Bo:*picks up knife*
Everyone: BO N O BO WHATS THE KNIFE FOR BO?
"that funny feeling" gives me goosebumps everytime
i didnt cry during inside, BUT. i almost went into a panic attack and......... i dont mind it. i dove deeeep into my own depressed head for the rest of the special. it was... a lot. i would fully say i was triggered (in the un-ironic sense). it felt so real and so true to what ive been and are experiencing, it was overwhelming. it brought up terrible thoughts and ultimately it was liberating to just sit 'inside' my own head and to 'share' that time with this recording of bo, another depressed person.
just me and my screen, him and his camera.
man the fact that i get more emotional being with someone else being emotional while we both watch "inside" really shows me how deeply broken i am mentally.
this special doesnt let me hold on to the last shred of hope that i can distract myself from my own problems and shortcomings. i dont think a piece of art has ever impacted me to my absolute core in such a way before
I’ve been trying to figure out why inside has so many of us feeling like this. It’s a similar sentiment I keep running into in comment sections. I’m an old school bo fan so I’m used to his particular brand of comedy!dread but even inside hit me hard.
This special made everyone who watches it cry. It’s so amazing. There’s a reason the last frame of it is suicide hotline.
“Iron & Wine and Bright Eyes” DUDE your music taste is immaculate 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
watching inside gave me words to describe what i had felt before. he talks about derealisation/depersonalisation. a couple of months ago i would go through times where i felt like my body was a marionette and i was actually behind and above the back of my head, puppeteering. on top of that, i felt like the puppet was walking around a fog world with fog people.
I had never had the words but after finding out that it's a real thing that happens to people i felt a whole lot better. i owe Bo, which is strange.
I love how he says “thank you for the four months,appreciate it” as if it was like another outbreak of COVID
Oh my god, maybe?? I never thought Of that
“Existential dread” is the perfect description of the entire special. Love your reaction!
All Eyes On Me is a song that you love to listen multiple times but when you listen it after finish Inside, it hits multiple times
finally, somebody reacted to the whole thing for the full effect
This was an emotional trip... Thanks for this!
"Well wasn't that a lot?" sums up this special perfectly, provided you say it with your eyes glassy as fuck from doing everything you can to not cry.
All Eyes On Me had me sobbing
All eyes on me hits you in places that feel so relatable that you just can’t help but cry
Thank you so much for this. I’ve seen the special so many times that i’m starting to get worried my own reaction to it is going to deteriorate with every new watch. The loophole I’ve found is watching other’s reaction to it (Hello, creeper), and yours was so beautiful. So sincerely, Thanks.
At 17:29 he wasn't stuttering because he was messing up the line. He was emotionally overwhelmed and knew if he finished the sentence he would break down on camera.
I really like how you didn’t include bits that were like shocking or exciting much in order not to spoil the good parts for people who might not have seen it yet, thanks man.
I really enjoy how it's edited together in such a way that it drags you down through his psychological decline with him until you get to the end and feel the immense amount of depression that he felt
Thank you for showing all of the emotions that came up while watching it! We all felt it too. It’s so awesome how Bo made something that has resonated with so many people during a very difficult time. I turned 30 in 2020 as well and he hit the nail on the head with that one! Along with everything else in the special!
I stumbled across this video by accident Mathew and I'm so glad I did ! :) Your reaction melted my heart and I even got teary eyed with you even though I've seen Inside three times already. This special is the best thing I've seen in a long while, and my favorite thing of 2021 so far. The songs are such an amazing combination of making you laugh and dance, and hitting your emotions hard the second after. I also loved that you talked a bit about his voice, Bo is such a good singer and we should talk more about it !!!! Thank you for this lovely video, I send you lots of love from Canada !
I love how you answered the questions during Don’t Wanna Know I did the same thing
When he stated talking about being scared of getting older, I completely related. I'm absolutely terrified of getting older because I don't want things to change. But the way I cope with that is this:
The only thing that will change when you get older is society changing like it always does. You are still the same you. You can still do the things you want to do, no one is stopping you. You're never too old to do something. Just do things that make you happy and be you :)
Have a great day/night to whoever reads this :)
"I don't know how to do this on camera" when you said it at the end, that's kinda what I think this special was all about and you really said and expressed it perfectly in that moment
I need this clear: I'm weird as shit and watch reaction vids to shows and movies I love probably more than I watch actual television... and this reaction blew me away. It was genuine, and insightful to a degree in which I learned something (unexpected) and then some; you were so good at picking apart Bo's genius metaphorical marvel that is this film, and it was genuinely impressive and again, unexpectedly insightful. Thank you :)
Hi! I just wanted to say thanks for this wonderful comment :) I woke up not all that long ago and sat down to get to work, and this was one of the first things I read - thank you for starting my day in a fantastic way!
@@MathewMcKenna I’m so happy to have started your day off right :)
I hope the day stays great! 😁
Thanks for the reply man😊
Last week I had never heard of Bo. But now I've seen almost everything hes produced and he's now my favorite Comedian/Singer/Song Writer.
Bo's Sorta opened my eyes a little bit more than they already were.
Your empathy itself is really moving. I'm glad to see someone felt about it the way I did. It was really tough to watch, but I thought it was masterful artwork.
The gasp when the camera falls was a visceral feel as a film student i felt with my bones
I am glad that someone else noticed he reprised Content and Comedy in most of his skits. You can hear them in the brand ambassador one, the video game one, the threatening TH-camr and a few other seconds and it feels genius
I have no idea how many times I've watched this show, but I still felt emotional watching you get emotional
Something something apologizing for getting emotional on camera while filming reaction video to a comedy special about a guy battling with the idea of being perceived by an audience
I’ve watched this special an unknown amount of times and get something different from it each time I’ve watched it. I enjoyed this video so much. Thank you for sharing your reaction and emotions with us!
I loved the pulling back of the curtain in the editing at the end there. Nice thematic callback.
I find all eyes on me is a perspective from his anxiety and depression with its effects on his actual self.
No one can dare call Bo just a comedian after this special.
"Make Happy" really cemented him as one of the greatest to ever do it, but "Inside" just completely shot him up into the stratosphere.
I feel like calling him an "entertainer" is a huge disservice to what he actually is.. I can't put my finger on it, is he a poet? Nah, he's more than a poet..
Being left at a loss for words is literally how i felt after watching this special. I hope he knows how much it meant for people who related to this masterpiece.
He is an artist
Please don’t revere him
He is an artist
Please god forgive him
He is an artist
Please don’t respect him
He is an artist
Feel free to correct him
If you don’t know, this is a direct quote from Bo himself
Can I just say, real quick, as someone who just so happened to come across this video (keeping in mind that I don’t typically like reaction videos) - your message after 30 was one of the most important things that I’ve needed to hear. I’ve always been very afraid of the future. I’m 27 and have spent my entire twenties fearing 30. So much so that (to quote Bo) “that funny feeling” has been ever present throughout. I haven’t even seen anything else on your channel but if this is a message that I hear halfway throughout a video of yours that I accidentally stumble upon, then I feel like you’re a really good person and I hope that it’s true.

I really enjoyed this approach to a long form content reaction and I’ve never seen it before. Many people who are watching these reactions have seen the content/special and are interested in seeing someone else’s take on it. Your approach of condensing it to your meaningful commentary, while we know that you are watching the entire special, is super unique and I really enjoyed it. Thanks!
