Comedian Bo Burnham sits down with BookTrib to share his views on work and millennials.
Robert Pickering Burnham is an American comedian, singer-songwriter, musician, rapper, actor, director, and poet. He began his performance career as a TH-camr in March 2006, and his videos have been viewed over 214 million times[4][5] as of December 2017.
In addition to his career as a comedian, Burnham co-created and starred in the MTV television series Zach Stone Is Gonna Be Famous and released his first book of poetry, Egghead: Or, You Can't Survive on Ideas Alone, in 2013.[8]

Really someone to look up to.
Actually, while Bo regularly talks out against pandery manipulative people, he also speaks openly about deferring to wiser or more knowledgeable people. Maybe its not exactly the same thing, so that's fair.
No shit, he's 6-5.
The 'IV drip' simile is perfect for his situation. It goes to show that its okay to let your career quiet down a bit if that means you're given the space and freedom to finish and polish your work, rather than regurgitate everything you come up with constantly to keep your fanbase pulse beating.
I remember loving TH-cam in 2006, and I wonder if I fell out of it because of the overwhelming amount of content I was trying to consume. It eventually got out of my hands as I was spending hours trying to keep up, and I decided I wanted to have a life outside of my computer screen.
+Xolcin Yeah.... I haven't gotten to that point yet. I've been homeschooled my whole life and it's really hard to stop watching TH-cam. It's like an addiction and every couple of weeks I find a new person that I want to watch every video of theirs. And then I just keep going back each day. I'm hoping one day when I have to actually do stuff in life, then I will slow down. But I think without TH-cam I would probably go crazy. Props to you for being able to do that lol.
How many beloved comedians have been popular enough to be given weekly shows and destroyed their popularity anyways with rushed "fast food" content.
He is way too far ahead of his years and it seems to be wearing on him.
yeah I agree.
Connor Wallin wow imagine someone having a thought about stuff. Insane!
@@CodyChromeBand no.
Profound. Bo always has appeared to be quite grounded as an individual and I think this small piece highlights that even more. Nice work.
That intro was fucking deafening
Tommy D YES THANK YOU
Not with good headphones. Is there a way that doesn't make me seems like I'm 2 that'll also make this comment seem less douchebag-ish?
I'm glad that he thinks the same thing as me. I've been writing a novel for seven years now, and my friends that recently found out about it told me, "oh, with how fast you can write, I'm surprised you haven't released at least ten books already in this year alone..." They are trying to push me to publish my novel now, but I'm like, "it's not ready yet. I need it to be perfect before I show it to the world!"
Quality over quantity.
Is it perfect yet? I’d totally buy your novel
Are you still working on it? :)
Still waiting on this novel. And I thought Winds of Winter was taking a long time…
now I'm intrigued
Please tell us
That consistent iv drip of mediocre content he describes is...most youtubers
MaLLinz289 Because they're desperate to keep their subs and views up
and because that's what TH-cam's algorithm supports. in order to stay relevant and keep appearing in search results, content creators must upload regularly and in long length, and this contributes to the problem.
Wow he is so mature! When given the situation to express his creativity and ideas on success, he explains himself perfectly!
I think younger Bo would be proud of his older self
damn... bo, you're pretty much the voice for the intellectuals of our generation.
even just a few years ago, he was so ahead of his time
he's so realistic and truthful. i think that's what inspires me most about him... he speaks truth through his music and jokes. and he's so clever and mature. he just gives me hope to the new generation haha
I really needed to hear this right now. I think he's a really intelligent guy and I appreciate the important messages he puts out there.
omg
i have an extension on chrome
it changes millenials to snake people
"Bo Burnham on Work and Snake People"
I THOUGHT THIS WAS SERIOUS
dammit
now i want bo to talk about snake people
i really love Bo, i will always be a fan of his.
fuck. this really spoke to me as a guitarist that tries to write songs. I was a year behind you at the Prep!! one day at lunch we were at the table that had all the napkins, salt, ketchup and shit. the dispenser was broken so they basically had a tub of ketchup with a ladle. I was behind you waiting to get some. idk if you even knew I was there but for a solid 30 seconds, you proceeded to slowly move the ladle in and out and in and out of the ketchup. it was my only interaction with you (I saw a play with you once, you were in a boat and the storm was bashing you, it was pretty impressive how good you were). very strange but I guess there ain't nothing wrong with that. congratulations on all of your success. it seems like you want to give it away, but I would kill for that many people to think I'm special. to decide they want to waste their valuable time listening to me. idk, I'm rambling.
you're doing a great job. performance is groundbreaking and your wit seems bottomless. keep on being you and most importantly, be happy!
Incredibly superb
He did regularly release youtube videos for years though before he got to a place where he could release videos of 90 minute shows and actually have people watch them. He wasn't all over tv or anything, but still he gave an iv drip of content to build his fame to the point where his current approach of large solo projects released years apart is actually practical.
Even those videos were released very far apart and were anything but mediocre.
@@jacksonl9472 lol some of them were 6 second vines. good ones but not exactly War and Peace. no matter how good your vine is it's not the great American novel. Or Russian.
Bo is the comedian version of frank ocean
I feel he's a comedy stage act of Radiohead.
Knowhardfeelings this is perfect comparison
this comment has aged like wine
This is so meaningful after watching Inside
Bo is a Legend bro!
good on ya Bo keep on the quality content we all love.
Entertainment is so difficult and Bo really puts it into perspective
May have been able to say it better myself, but not by much. Truer words may be spoken, but these are indeed relevant to the situation discussed. Well said, Bo!
I have a ton of respect for Bo Burnham, he's an idol of mine actually, but the thing is when you're trying to get noticed early on, you kind of have to grind and put yourself out there, because unless you're really lucky, you'll just get drowned out by everyone else who's also trying to get attention.
He got his start very early on, but now TH-cam and the internet is so oversaturated and competitive that your chances of getting noticed by just releasing something you worked hard on every year or so are very slim. Once you have a stable platform with a reliable audience, then you can ease up on the grind. Until then, it's always good to have bigger projects that you work on for a long time, but you also have to put out smaller stuff consistently and fight the algorithm to get an audience that'll even look at your passion project.
Again, unless you get lucky
Like he knew that there will be a global pandemic for over a year while recording a masterpiece inside. 🎩
@@kayligo 🥕🎟️
bruhh,,, idk Who this guy is but this is deep man preach
you've got to see 'what.' it's full on yt :D
after watching his latest special, I kind of agree with him.
so look he made you some content.... daddy made you you're favourite open wide
prolly why he stopped being a youtuber and instead made one man shows
Thanks for that loud intro i didn't need to be able to hear anyway.
I kinda want to relate to what he is saying but also the way people grind to grow is to be consistent. Maybe you can be consistent and also try to share something nice. obviuosly no tweeting everyday or things like that
Boooo! Oh, I meant... Bo!!!!!
"Extending my name, boooooo, that's also approval."
what do you use for video calls and recording it?
Booktrib?
Okay...disappearing is good for creative endeavors, fine...but WTF does he do for money?? Just live off the residuals🤷♂️?
And you can thank THIS platform for incentivizing that shit. And Facebook too
Lol, one dislike.
and it was probably bo
That would make so much sense!
