Bo Burnham - Make Happy
Track 18
Performing

I think in an interview Bo said how being able to externalize his feelings and make certain points to the audience in this segment and Can’t Handle This helped him (as opposed to keeping it bottled up and just telling jokes) so I hope Inside was more cathartic to him than anything. I really wish the best for him.

“What’s the show about”
Random women in the background at 0:03 : “Make happy!”

[@Useless985]

i love how you can hear a guy in the audience yelling “make happy!” when he asks “what’s the show about?”

[@Yoshomay]

Honestly the part where he talks about not having an audience if you have a choice has really made me rethink becoming a youtuber

2 or 3 years ago I was doing theater and I needed to decide if I was to do this for my life. I loved theater but everytime before I got on stage I was soooo anxious. I don't fear the stage or audience but I couldn't help it. At that time I discovored Bo and when I saw this scene, he really convinced me to give up the stage life. I mean I immedietly gave up like "Ohh Bo says don't so Imma don't" no it wasn't like that. He made me think about it more and more and more then I realized that it was a great hobby but wasn't a great job for me.

@@Kekesos I mean it really is just a perspective thing. TH-camrs like mr beast have managed their expectations and anxiety so that way he *feel* like he's earned the success he's gotten and feels like he can live up to any expectations he or others have. (Either that or he has kept it to himself)
And then there's youtubers like ihe and bo that let their expectations and anxiety take over. So it's not a bad idea to quit theater, it's just how you handle everything. But if you feel like you can't handle that kina stuff than maybe it's a good idea to quit now before you have a following

I feel free for the first time in 15 years. Leaving podcasting and radio behind and all the trauma that comes with it and baggage has really made me free. The gravity of everything is starting to set in with me and I felt happy for the first time yesterday in 15 years. I'm 27. I haven't really felt like childhood joy since I was 12. I have felt depression all my fucking life since teenage years. I've been chasing that dream of clout, fame, and passion through takes and having a lot of time. I think also has helped me accept my parents alcoholism because it was the coping skill I used the most when my parents drank. I started TV production classes when I was 14 in high school and said this was my dream. It was never really my dream. I said it was my dream because I wanted to get the hell out. My parents have been 10 and 12 years sober respectively and the way I coped with their alcoholism and the effects of it was being in radio. Being in broadcasting. I was never going to finish school. I was never going to do anything in radio to be honest because it was solving trauma for me. I want to put that trauma to bed. It's traumatizing to do radio and podcasting for me because it reminds me of the coping skills that I used in the past I was playing the character of Danny Kuchler for 12 years. I was a luchador. It's time to take the mask offAs I open my authentic self to you please give me grace. I don't know how to use this energy yet

[@quietnerdything]

@@phantomflair5546 It’s a reference to the theme song from the 1960’s Batman show, the one with Adam West. The end of the song goes nanananananananaananaa BATMAN!
