It's not about simplicity, Jimmy. It's about sites that are designed to be addictive and demanding, the massive gathering of personal info, and reselling the info across advertising networks so a geyser of money can pour into Google, Amazon, et al. You could have had a travel blog or a chatroom that worked that way in 2000; it just didn't back then. And you can have sites that don't work that way today; most aren't individually horrible these days, except for the ongoing tracking everywhere with embedded AdSense in most sites for example. For example, you could develop a website that has 100% of the functionality of Facebook, add a ton of better features, but then don't track or sell any user data. Monetize by offering ads relevant to the declared interests of the group you're posting in, or ads at random. Offer tools to help sort new content so you don't slog through the endless scroll. Minimize notifications. Make less money, offer a superior product. It's exactly like how a knife isn't a weapon, it's a tool - until someone uses it as a weapon. And then the fault lies with the stabber, not the knife's manufacturer. Well Facebook used the Internet to create a weapon and then used it to stab everyone, all of the time.
Well yeah, of course it’s gonna be that way. That whole idea has existed since the beginning of time, so of course eventually it’ll make its way onto the internet. The internet was full of adults in the beginning anyways, and now it’s even more full of adults-not mostly just kids. Sure, It’s sad, but it’s gonna happen anyways. So we have to accept it at some point unfortunately.
A little bit of everything all of the time, a bit of everything all of the time, apathy’s a tragedy and boredom is a crime anything and everything all of the time.
Knowing what we know about Bo 14 years later, it's funny to imagine the war in his head knowing Katy Perry is making innuendos half naked on his piano. Half of him is like "Wtf is happening???" the other half is hating everything about what is happening at that moment.
Yeah, also why did TH-cam put this on “top comments” Well at least some random person who commented on a video with multiple million views and a sh*tton of comments got their comment seen by someone who just discovered “welcome to the internet” and Bo Burnham
@tomas_iss7469 I've listened to Bo for a long time, but it's only now that I've discovered Zack Stone is gonna be famous and I can't get enough, so great!
”The impact is evident” about youtube. THIS MAN went ahead to write a song about youtube and ALREADY knew that TH-cam was going to be a big thing. I’m scared man, he knows too much 😂
This wasn't a crowd that came to see him specifically though. I'm pretty sure most of them are other content creators, he gets much better crowds at his own shows
+DrewPeacock69 it's because he was making fun of them and they couldn't take the joke notice a lot of the time when he makes a joke about how shite the content is the crowd went dead
It almost looked like he didn't even wanna be there to be honest. He looked borderline disgusted whenever he looked up at the audience/anything else in the room.
I love the "thank you Mrs Perry" not only cause it reminds us she's married, but also cause it makes him seem younger. Like yeah, he's 18, but he's also *only 18*. He's still a teenager, and she's probably well into her 20s at this point?
Crazy to say but 2008 was a long long time ago homeboy. She probably wasnt married and was like 23 or 24. Sex appeal and flirtatiousness was also a part of her act. But I do agree his response was an absolutely perfect counterbalance to how awkward it was in this moment. And the pan down from her to his annoyed face as they reveal shes laying on his piano. Gold.
I’m seventeen and like a twenty something hitting on me would be so weird. Like the age gap between these two was the same as me and my teacher of record... so weird
The "Thank you Mrs. Perry" kills me every time "I'm not an adult, you're an adult please don't make sexually charged comments towards me that's weird" so instead of addressing her as "Katy" he reasserts the inherent power dynamic of an adult and a child with the "Mrs. Perry"
The TH-camrs themselves, maybe, but the host of TH-cam's big event was still Katy Perry, a corporatly owned pop star who's part of the celebrity ecosystem that the talk shows exist to prop up. The power back then was with the same people it is now.

Joe Rogan made a veiled reference in which Bo - as an OG youtube celebrity and pioneer in that regard - wasn't skilled in reading the audience as much as someone who came up through small pubs and bars and such. Basically they took a semi awkward teen from his room and plopped him in front of a huge audience and he didnt have the "Room Reading" soft skills ironed out quite then. Bo's list of talents are many, and obviously *can* perform in front of a live audience - but thats in no way his natural state. Trust me I know, my last name is Burnham
Definitely, like most likely it was from a script she was given but it’s still EXTREMELY inappropriate and weird, it def made Bo, and all of us uncomfortable
+probablynotsatanic66 I actually kinda believe that.... Not saying you are lying... Just at the end you can hear CLEARLY how much the crowd applauded at the end. Friggin Love Bo!!!
So? It's live. They don't have a lot of time to comprehend what he's saying - unlike us, who can rewind it over and over and over. I'll admit I didn't "get" Bo when I first heard him. Thought he was a pretentious, depressing asshole. Same thing with Colbert. He was just an unfunny jerk, I thought. Some things take time to "click."
He doesn't need to sing in hieroglyphics. When you listen to a new album for the first time, do you understand everything the singer's saying right off the bat? (Without repeating the track.) Bo's jokes are fast. By the time you figure out his last punchline, he hits you with another.
J. David I agree. Bo's jokes do come in layers. But the jokes Bo made in this song were pretty simple, like the drunk dad one. How long would it really take you to comprehend that joke and laugh at it? Surely you wouldn't need to listen to the song on repeat to get it.
A true nostalgia hit. I was 8 when I first saw this. Thank my older sister for turning me onto Bo so young. He has been a true inspiration to everything I do in life. Really. Been here since the start and will carry it with me forever.
Kyle Wit Bo was clearly disturbed at that and called her mrs. as a rebuttal Imagine if the genders are reversed, an adult man calling a young lady “thank god you are 18” on stage is clearly disgusting. This should be treated the same
Bing Bong are you stupid? He’s not being sexist. What she said was disturbing. If it was said by a man to a young girl, there would be an uproar. It should be taken both ways for both genders.
It's funny because TH-cam has basically deleted most of the videos referencing this TH-cam Live show that was a flop 4-5 years ago. I didn't know it even happened until now. Also, Bo you're a fucking comedy genius and Katy Perry has incredible... Eyes.
There were a lot of good performances that night. The TH-cam community is just very self-absorbed, and can't enjoy a show when time slots are scheduled to performers who they either don't know or don't follow on TH-cam.
***** While I agree that TH-camrs are self-absorbed and those were good performances. But when it's called TH-cam Live I would expect TH-cam people not necessarily Katy Perry.
yeah i cringed at the lack of laughter at the end of each line that deserved it 🧍♂️🧍♂️ ntm the insults of it 💀i bet everyone in there was fake smiling pls
Honestly I think that's exactly what Bo wanted most. He's truly the definition of doesn't give a fuck. 99.9% of us as 18 year old guys would be either making a song about how amazing and cool TH-cam is, or too busy trying to hit on 08 Katy Perry
This has probably been said somewhere else down in the comments. I love how Bo just looks at her like "Alright your famous, we get it. Now could you please get off my piano? Your getting it dirty."
Emrahh That was TH-cam’s old policy so that’s exactly what he meant. Videos didn’t get removed because you were able to get easy repeals then, so they just made it private instead of removing it.
His response to Perry was perfect. He clearly showed his disrespect to the blunt, inappropriate comment while at the same time remaining perfectly polite. And he quite clearly showed his dislike of Mrs Perry herself, again, with subtleties, like the lack of eye contact. He didn't fake it and he didn't openly express his dislike. He dealt with her in an honest, yet intelligent manner. That's quite rare to see. People, especially those who are in entertainment, seem to be either rude or fake most of the time (ahem, Perry). This is refreshing.
michael richards Not sure. Body language always means *something*. Usually it's not intentional, but it still does. I might have gotten something wrong, but I think the main idea of being honest yet not too rude was quite clearly there.
Edu In an interview he mentioned that one of his inspirations for writing songs like "Repeat Stuff" was mainstream artists such as Katy. I think he was like this because of her inappropriate and unneeded outfit and the comment she made. Bo is somewhat of a feminist so yeah, that might play into it.
Matthew Jeffrey If a man said to a woman “she’s funny, she’s filthy... thank god shes 18 at least” everyone should clearly be able to see the creeping disgust. This is no different
Sir Chip calling a comedian filthy is nothing if not a compliment. and i don’t think that the arguement “iF a mAn dID iT” is valid. women pose less of a threat to men than vice versa
Matthew Jeffrey Never said it was about the ‘threat’. Said it was creepy and disgusting she did that to someone. I get that you want to come off as a smart contrarian but you’re really just coming across as a dullard.
Sir Chip ooh look at me using my fancy words on the internet, i’m such a smart boy, i’m gonna call people olde english insults and then they’ll respect me nerd
+Dead Meme Calling TH-cam "small" in 2008 is like calling Gary Busey "attractive". It's subjective, but most people would disagree with you. And yeah, that comment did relate to what was being said. If you don't know what they're trying to say, then maybe you should read it again. Or just give up and stop making nonsense comments on old videos.
He also wrote the song at like 17, it’s logical to assume as he matures his content will. His first stuff is pretty juvenile but still clever while his latter stuff is much more satirical and introspective
Bo was like "Please get the fuck off my piano."

This is on a whole other level.
Cheese doesn’t age well
@@andybradley8347 there are types of cheese that need more than a year before they can be sold
Zuzana Barteková ok
I'm sorry, but I have to ask. Is this Supernatural reference?
Sam: I'm lactose intolerant so....
The audience was so confused the whole time. How come they didn't laugh at the alcoholic father part? It's comedy GOLD
The mic was programmed to block most of the external sound.
+probablynotsatanic66 how am i supposed to know when to laugh
Who is your icon?
+probablynotsatanic66 I actually kinda believe that.... Not saying you are lying... Just at the end you can hear CLEARLY how much the crowd applauded at the end. Friggin Love Bo!!!
+Freckled Jesus they did laugh. Turn up your volume
I love when he laughs at his owns songs and try’s to hide it
"Bitch get off my piano" (in his head lol)
hahahahaha ikr😂😂😂
Yep
I love the annotation he has near her head
Ikr
+nerdyneedsalife what does it say I'm on mobile
God it's weird to think about all the forgotten channels he referenced

I'm not gonna like this comment for the sole purpose of keeping it at 420 but here's a comment 2 years later

this went way over the audience's heads
So? It's live. They don't have a lot of time to comprehend what he's saying - unlike us, who can rewind it over and over and over. I'll admit I didn't "get" Bo when I first heard him. Thought he was a pretentious, depressing asshole.
Same thing with Colbert. He was just an unfunny jerk, I thought. Some things take time to "click."
J. David He's not singing in hieroglyphics. It's not that hard.
He doesn't need to sing in hieroglyphics. When you listen to a new album for the first time, do you understand everything the singer's saying right off the bat? (Without repeating the track.)
Bo's jokes are fast. By the time you figure out his last punchline, he hits you with another.
J. David I agree. Bo's jokes do come in layers. But the jokes Bo made in this song were pretty simple, like the drunk dad one. How long would it really take you to comprehend that joke and laugh at it? Surely you wouldn't need to listen to the song on repeat to get it.
Yeah well sometimes it's just not funny to people, that shit happens
A true nostalgia hit. I was 8 when I first saw this. Thank my older sister for turning me onto Bo so young. He has been a true inspiration to everything I do in life. Really. Been here since the start and will carry it with me forever.
“thank you mrs. perry” sounds like he’s talking to a teacher
that's the idea. it makes her hypersexual come on look pathetic.
@@jedinxf7 And a reminder that she had a boyfriend
i was literally saying that while scrolling through the comments and seeing this
stole my fucking comment
@@The-Big-Boss i cant find it when did u post it lol
so THIS is where his hatred for katy perry came from XD
"Thank God he's 18 years old at least"
*weak clapping*
***cringe***
Kyle Wit Bo was clearly disturbed at that and called her mrs. as a rebuttal
Imagine if the genders are reversed, an adult man calling a young lady “thank god you are 18” on stage is clearly disgusting. This should be treated the same
Th Ff No it shouldn't, stop being sexist.
@@person9815 Bro hes being the opposite of sexist you dumb fuck.
Bing Bong are you stupid? He’s not being sexist. What she said was disturbing. If it was said by a man to a young girl, there would be an uproar. It should be taken both ways for both genders.
His expression at this time was so cringy
"Thank god he's 18 at least"
Left brain: What
Right brain: What
Bo: Kill me
It's funny because TH-cam has basically deleted most of the videos referencing this TH-cam Live show that was a flop 4-5 years ago. I didn't know it even happened until now. Also, Bo you're a fucking comedy genius and Katy Perry has incredible... Eyes.
yeah eyes
There were a lot of good performances that night. The TH-cam community is just very self-absorbed, and can't enjoy a show when time slots are scheduled to performers who they either don't know or don't follow on TH-cam.
*****
While I agree that TH-camrs are self-absorbed and those were good performances. But when it's called TH-cam Live I would expect TH-cam people not necessarily Katy Perry.
This is the most 2008 thing I've ever revisited
Ikr?!
nikiiters same
nikiiters it was made in 2008
Yup
KuteKalicoKitty #AngelAffect he means it pretty obvious it was made in 2008
I've been on this site for a long time
Cyranek Bro, you're everywhere
Cyranek you know the way by now
Same but im still here
I've been watching you for a long time
that's wild
He played this AT A TH-cam EVENT I’m surprised they let this fly 😂
Can this guy present the oscars? Like, all the oscars? Ever?
Óscar _rg5 yes.
Only unfunny people host the Oscars
@@munjee2 except Steve Martin
His speech would probably be like Ricky Gervais’ Golden Globes Speech, just making fun of everyone and everything.
Nah, the ugly guy on top of the piano should.
He makes Katie Perry sound like a kindergarten teacher...
"Yes, and thank you Mrs Perry."
Y U P
this guy got progressivley better the more he realized people liked him
and progressively less happy
might i just say that i like your profile pic
Katy perry: thank god he’s 18 😍🥵🤤😮💨
Bo: 😐
i LOVE how unimpressed he is with katy perry.
did see the other comment below me that said literally the same thing n has like 300 likes. so i feel so unimpressed with myself.
And here we are 3 years later, with your comment at 450+ likes.
character development
Hunter Eelman revise your comment
Is math related to science?
This was the wrong crowd to play this to lol
yeah i cringed at the lack of laughter at the end of each line that deserved it 🧍♂️🧍♂️ ntm the insults of it 💀i bet everyone in there was fake smiling pls
Or the perfect crowd. People who needed to hear this the most
@@vinnyb3978 definitely. He was there to make a point. "Hey youtube corporate... 🖕"
Honestly I think that's exactly what Bo wanted most. He's truly the definition of doesn't give a fuck. 99.9% of us as 18 year old guys would be either making a song about how amazing and cool TH-cam is, or too busy trying to hit on 08 Katy Perry
He predicted TH-cam Red lol
+pojot Where?
+TheApoke End. He says "until it's privatized". TH-cam Red is privatizing videos behind a paywall.
+Dorraj Classic comedy am I right? TH-cam is the real comedian here!
that's different. It's specific video that are made for youtube red. They're aren't just taking random videos and putting them behind a paywall
+SketchyHat just wait
I'm not a Bo Burnham fan, but 20 million views in 2008 is actually an insane number for someone who started out online with no prior fan base
the most depressing thing of this is that it is 2016 and still relatable
Except for the whole Jonas brothers thing
Or Lisa Nova.
Well it's basically the same thing just people have been replaced
Hey! Maker Studios is still one of the biggest TH-cam Networks out there. So, in a way Lisa Nova will always be with us...
Auz Avb lol😂same
He was advance for his time
.
Lazy Zack true
What the fuck are you talikng about?
@@elmerwilber3308 You raise a good point
LazyLee even now he is more advanced than 99.9% of people in this time
Lmao "Thank God you're eighteen at least," and then pan back to Bo's face at 0:16. Yeah, okay Katy...
1:40 is that the bo yo theme?
"An it will keep on going and it'll never stoooooppppp... until it's privatized!" yep
welp i guess there calling it monetization now lolol
then reuploaded
I feel like he hated this so much
mostly cuz of the awkward audience and katy perry
Yeah you can def tell he wasn’t enjoying himself at all, I mean I wouldn’t either in a situation like that
im pretty sure its because katy make him uncomfortable with her him being 18 comment
You can tell how much he hates Katy Perry already...
He’s thinking:
“This is hiLaRiOuS”
I WAS THE 667th LIKE I SAVED OUR SOULS
@@sidball172 *You ruined it*
@@sidball172 and they said Christ wouldn't come
This has probably been said somewhere else down in the comments.
I love how Bo just looks at her like "Alright your famous, we get it. Now could you please get off my piano? Your getting it dirty."
"he has 20 million views on his youtube" back in a simpler time when that was enough lol
"and it'll keep on going and it'll never stop.. until it's privatized"
ooh bo predicted youtube red
ooh bho predicted the fall of net neutrality
Emrahh That was TH-cam’s old policy so that’s exactly what he meant. Videos didn’t get removed because you were able to get easy repeals then, so they just made it private instead of removing it.
His response to Perry was perfect. He clearly showed his disrespect to the blunt, inappropriate comment while at the same time remaining perfectly polite.
And he quite clearly showed his dislike of Mrs Perry herself, again, with subtleties, like the lack of eye contact. He didn't fake it and he didn't openly express his dislike. He dealt with her in an honest, yet intelligent manner. That's quite rare to see. People, especially those who are in entertainment, seem to be either rude or fake most of the time (ahem, Perry). This is refreshing.
He was playing insecure, it was an act. Don't read to much in to it, of course he doesn't hate Katy Perry.
I think u overthought his body language
michael richards Not sure. Body language always means *something*. Usually it's not intentional, but it still does. I might have gotten something wrong, but I think the main idea of being honest yet not too rude was quite clearly there.
Edu In an interview he mentioned that one of his inspirations for writing songs like "Repeat Stuff" was mainstream artists such as Katy. I think he was like this because of her inappropriate and unneeded outfit and the comment she made. Bo is somewhat of a feminist so yeah, that might play into it.
Sammyv12345 Such clothing and behavior is pretty much her whole stage persona...
Every time youtube makes another bad decision, I come back to this song just because of the last lines.
Katy talking about his age was so creepy jfc
Jackal she was 23 and he was 18. that’s not that weird
Matthew Jeffrey
If a man said to a woman “she’s funny, she’s filthy... thank god shes 18 at least” everyone should clearly be able to see the creeping disgust. This is no different
Sir Chip calling a comedian filthy is nothing if not a compliment. and i don’t think that the arguement “iF a mAn dID iT” is valid. women pose less of a threat to men than vice versa
Matthew Jeffrey
Never said it was about the ‘threat’. Said it was creepy and disgusting she did that to someone. I get that you want to come off as a smart contrarian but you’re really just coming across as a dullard.
Sir Chip ooh look at me using my fancy words on the internet, i’m such a smart boy, i’m gonna call people olde english insults and then they’ll respect me
nerd
Bo looked so done with everything his face was like
"Don't fake flirt with me you strumpet."
"Thank you Ms.Perry."
*Faint air-horns can be heard in the distance*
Johden Mrs.*
Little did he know back then, there was going to be a sequel in the future.
you know its old when he says "jonas brothers, fred, and charlie the unicorn"
“chocolate rain”
The werid thing is the Jonas brothers came back so now kids know who they are.
I love Charlie the unicorn
“If you search for moral wisdom in Katy Perry’s lyrics...” 8 years after she’s laying on his piano
2018 dank, dark humor had no place in 2008, as you can see.
I always say that he was way ahead of his time!
+Dead Meme
Calling TH-cam "small" in 2008 is like calling Gary Busey "attractive". It's subjective, but most people would disagree with you.
And yeah, that comment did relate to what was being said. If you don't know what they're trying to say, then maybe you should read it again. Or just give up and stop making nonsense comments on old videos.
RickWithCK Yeah, but there's something innately wrong about calling a business making millions a year "small".
I "Liked" this comment, but not this awkward video :/
Being the exact 1k like on a comment... I feel like a god
I’ll never ever forget watching this in 2008. This song is stuck in my head CONSTANTLY. Iconic
Imagine if he did an updated one, for 2016.
IMAGINE.
All the memes, all the horror, all the comedy.
HELL YEAH!
Oscar Armstrong all the trump
Why do You care EXACTLY. Let's start a petition, make a 2016 welcome to youtube.
All the pranks...
They would just put the fidget spinner guys on stage, no actual people we care about.
I love how he's mocking TH-cam and NO ONE in the audience is getting it.
Back then TH-cam was still growing, a lot of the audiences probably didn't experience internet much either.
They get it alright, dont act all high and mighty
Because it’s t r u e
They totally get it
There’s literally a giant TH-cam live poster in the background
Pablo the Commando it means that everyone there is from TH-cam
He’s so different here from his “Inside” special. His music got so much darker, funnier, and better.
Darker yes, idk about the other two. What is just as funny as Inside
it is just rush song for award TH-cam show, his other song at this age were also better like Art is dead
He also wrote the song at like 17, it’s logical to assume as he matures his content will. His first stuff is pretty juvenile but still clever while his latter stuff is much more satirical and introspective
“ he has over 20 million views on his TH-cam!” That was such a big number back then now a single video gets 20 million views
It's amazing how he's shitting on TH-cam and its "stars" in front of everyone and getting praised for it. I hope he never stops doing comedy
He did stop unfortunetly
I can't say for sure if he's gonna stop but im pretty sure he's just taking a hiatus i mean on his twitter he said he was working on soemthing
Shiny Breloom i think i heard somewhere that he was working on a film or something
TeddyPicker191 ah, you haven't heard yet...
Awkward
His blank stare at the end of the song... it stares into my soul.
“and it’ll never stoppppppp. until it’s privatized” he knew
2008 TH-cam let anything slide.
I miss this.
