To clarify, BetterHelp is our sponsor on this video. We will always disclose in our videos any sponsors we have for that video. Mike Burns, our writer, is just really into Taco Bell.
I hoped ThAt COmmentators knew it was oBvious to Everyone eLse that this was a Lame duck of a joke by a writer who liked a product.
But I wouldn't be upset if they brought back the double stack. It was delicious.
I'm hungry now
Or, as Bo Burnham once said, "They're not sponsoring me. I'm just trying to get them to."
I knew it, Wisecrack is sponsored by TacoBell
That's not fair, we don't have Taco Bell in Germany. And even when I never eat it, I'm craving it right now.
You guys boutta have a field day with “Inside”
They should definitely check that out.
I really hope they do!!
Of course they will.
Inside deserves a Wisecrack video for itself.
@@wastagwaga they are for sure not going to like all the pro socialism stuff.
After finding out about Bo, I have become addicted to his comedy. From the irony-ridden "Oh Bo" and "Repeat Stuff" to the heartbreakingly honest "Can't Handle This Right Now", he's managed to express the desperation that people our generation feels as regards our society and existence. I truly love him as an artist and wish him the best. Btw he directed a movie called 8th Grade, which is about to premiere in the US.
Victoria M he makes poetry as well, has a book called Egghead
If you want a "Cry erry time" bob urnham edition look up "Are you happy" its only like 50 seconds but GOD is it good sad
That song from God's perspective wasn't the sole reason I challenged and dropped my faith, but Jesus, that was fucking deep
I feel the exact same
Personally, I've been seriously relating to Art Is Dead recently. I'm not sure what it is about the song, but as someone who has been in theater most of their life, it really hits home. Which, I suppose, makes sense.
14:06 He might not have gotten his facts wrong, depending on how you define a "functioning restaurant"
And regardless, he DOES own two functioning restaurants. Adding 15 more doesn't detract from the two.
ur my hero, i love ur vids
i was thinking the same thing myself lmao
Thank you so much for your Bo Burnham piano vids
Immediately came down here to see if anyone else had the same idea
We’re gonna need a update of this video after the masterpiece he just released
AGREE
Super agree
Hell yes
👍
There is, look on newer content on their channel and you'll see one about his Inside special
Bo is impressively talented, hilarious, and wise for his age. I think he will make lots of great things.
Or just point out dumb shit
He quit making music and doing shows a while ago. You can still book him for parties though
At least he's directing and acting now. 8th Grade was quite good.
If Bo dies, I'd be sad.
I didn’t get him at first, but I see his genius now. Special kid.
The end of his Make Happy special is one of the most interesting and impressive things I have ever seen a comedian do. So many layers to it.......even more than a 5 layer burrito.
But does it have more than layers than the Taco Bell Seven-Layer Burrito, which consists of refried beans, rice, guacamole, shredded lettuce, a three-cheese blend, diced tomatoes, and reduced fat sour cream for the low low price of $3.69?
"This video contains paid promotion"
Oh, they finally got a food deal with Taco Bell.
"This video is sponsored by BetterHelp..."
Nevermind, they just are really upset about Nacho Fries.... I guess.
They don't get sponsored by Taco Bell and need to deal with the rejection with BetterHelp
The "Goodnight, I hope you are happy" line is one of the strongest things I've ever witnessed in any stand-up comedy or similar act. I've watched the Make Happy show 5 or 6 times and still, just when you showed that one clip, I started to get tears in my eyes. I have so much admiration for Bo Burnham, he is in my opinion the greatest stand-up comedian alive and maybe even the greatest ever (although there are some he might only be tied with).
as linguistically it isn't that different from "thank you for being here, you're wonderful (the crowd), have a great night" that most performances end with, its the greater context of the rest of the show that propels the sincerity of it that makes it actually punch home hard.
I think bo burnham needs to be re explored with is new special INSIDE
It was like
1. comedy is dead
2. meaning is dead
3. maybe new meaning can make you happy
4. (inside) NO! Actually I wanna blow my brains out
Post-Modernism is dead, Meta-Modernism has come. The optimism of Modernism, and the self-awareness of Post-Modernism has come together.
ogogo ogpgpg Who said an Ancap can't enjoy pop-philosophy?
No... Post-industrial capitalism has only brought false optimism.
EdgySocialAnarchist
Your name fits your comment.
Joshua Manjarrez Eh its a little outdated.
Lol, I could say the same with Karl Marx's "New Communist Man"
I prefer the term 'Metamodernism' personally.
It describes the ultimate result of Postmodernism, once you have realized that everything is meaningless and there is no truth, the only place left to go is to realize that meaninglessness itself is also meaningless.
Metamodernism is simultaneously knowing that everything has no meaning, that your life is a lie, and carrying on having that meaning and truth anyways, not because it does matter, but because it doesn't.
For this reason there is currently something of a second enlightenment, we have destroyed all meaning, we have reached the end of the dream. Now all that is left to do is decide what dream we wish to have next and start it.
Culturally, everything is not only falling apart, it is already rubble, and as more and more people realise that it is gone they start to build again, according to their dreams and ambitions.
Some will choose to build back the old, some will build the new, and some will build the absurd, but one thing is certain. We are in an age of tremendous cultural upheaval, and the end result is as uncertain as the roll of a die.
Now, personally, I think that the die is loaded, that it will always land on something in some way better than what we have.
Thanks for this thought! I took a political philosophy class and one of the philosophers we mostly just glossed over was Edmund Burke, but I remember that he was against the modernist movement and one point he made to counter it was basically saying that if meaning is an illusion, why not leave the illusion? Is it so much better to have the truth that means the same but is sort of just worse. It's not his exact words, but I'm trying to capture the idea.
Was his writing in the same vein? Obviously he was speaking in response to modernism and not postmodernism, but the idea felt really similar to me.
He could very well have been talking about both.
After all, one is just the continuation of the other, and in that same vein both are the continuation of modernism.
I disagree with calling this 'late stage' anything, it is just the continuation of a cycle that has existed as long as life.
Out with the old, in with the new, before you can create, you must first destroy, it is the inevitable march of time's progression towards increasing entropy, towards ultimate complexity and infinite nuance.
I think you got the metamodern experiment a bit wrong. It's a return to the grand narrative without undermining our reasonable suspicion of grand narratives which we learned from postmodernism era. It was the postmodern theory that help us deconstruct illusion in the pursuit of meaning and truth. In a way, metamodernism is more postmodern than postmodernism itself.
Yes, it certainly can be for some.
For others it can be pretty much anything.
Old ideas of meaning are gone, that means that it can be found pretty much anywhere you care to look.
If you choose to look to the meaning of the past you will find it, but that is not by far the only place you can look.
@Xenath Cytrin I wouldn't go as far as say old ideas of meaning are gone, I would say that these old idea are being recontextualize to be made more relevant in the modern world.
Post modernism is like finally getting the joke, but still wanting to talk about it.
I really want Make Happy on spotify. Goddamn. Netflix, spotify, bo, idk who has the last call but plz add it
Fedora Boy netflix have make happy
Esteban Cabrera I meant I want the person who has full control of where the songs go to put it on spotify
Pretty sure its part of the deal he made with Netflix. They're not gonna make one so don't expect one any time soon.
Bo meant for it to be a visual show, like a play. That's why he probably wouldn't put the whole special on netflix, but who knows maybe he'll do the songs?
@@melaniefogel9296 If that's true then why is what. on spotify?
I cry at Make Happy every time. Im so in love with that man.
t3r3z1pyrop3 You love the idea of him
me too :(((((
@@elliotburns4961 their idea of him*
got your fill of feels to make it through another day then
Dont idolize him. I'm not trying to rain on your parade but he explicitly states that he doesn't want people to think highly of him so just keep it in mind. Because he is just a person and he doesn't want people to see him as more than just a regular person.
Can I think of anything more Late Capitalism than a therapy service designed and marketed to accommodate the productivity of individual laborers?
tumblr and sad twitter
An internet channel searching for meaning in pop culture being the one to market it. (While making use of a product that would never be chosen on its merrits to pander to their audience). I know, it's crazy ironic
And to come full circle, the video is about a person singing about the exploitative nature of marketing.
yeah, late capitalism has its advantages
Capitalism is a vicious cycle isn't it?
This is going to be #deep
These thoughts of mineeeee, must be a sign that I'mmmmmm (continue the lyrics pls)
Have you ever stopped to watch a bluebird drop from a tree and take to the air?
Jelmer van Riet
me neither
Cool take on the different layers of Bo stand up career. I believe he’s directing a movie coming out this summer or something.
I went to the make happy show in nyc. Awesome live show.
The moving is called eight grade
he also directed the latest Chris Rock netflix special
He also directed Jarrod Carmichael stand up special. You can see his fingerprints on the other comics special
Yes,and it's great
It was called 8th Grade, and was released to decent reviews on July 13th.
Anyone watching this after “inside”?
You gotta admit hat Oedipus line Bo rapped at 10:20 was awesome. The guy is on another level in my opinion, not just a comedian but a man who has an outside the box view of how social commentary can be presented to an audience.
You gotta eat the lettuce.
Hey, if someone invents a wedge salad to go, you bet your ass I'll buy it.
Look if pringles would just make the god damn can wider people would stop complaining.
Koko I wouldn't gave got the lettuce if I knew it wouldn't fit

Please do *Philosophy of Bill Wirtz*
La de da de da de da de day ooooh!
YES.
Bill has stated he doesn't put hidden meanings in his songs, but regardless if he put them there or not, you can definitely find some strong messages.
yes
God I need to see that video made
You guys fill such a niche on the internet that I don’t think most people realized they needed
Hahaha, graduating and getting a job? Classic humor!
Hahahahaha hahahahaha
It's a metaphor you idiot
Hahaha, classic comedy
More comedians in the "Philosophy of" series please. Comedians that genuinely had more meaning than the jokes they told. Bill Hicks, George Carlin, Mitch Hedberg etc.
Someone send this video to Bo
Don't worry I'm trying
Name of the cartoon at 3:50 someone please
Yellow Submarine, The Beatles
Disco Franco Yellow Submarine. You should definitely watch it if you’re into The Beatles. Or acid.
Why would Bo need to see this?
Bo's rant at the end of Make Happy is my single favourite bit of comedy ever produced. It's funny, sure, but there's such a genuine level of emotion and depth behind it that it's the closest I've ever seen a comedy special get to being considered true art. Blew me away the first time I watched it.
Good stuff, well done
Musical Comedy Heeyyyy
totally not a liar hey
Yoooooo
Yoooo
hey, it's the Bo Burnham guy
I would absolutely LOVE for you to do an episode on the philosophy and possibly psychology of his new special Inside 🙏🙏
since basically the first half is about other comedy, I forgot this was even about Bo.
This episode had everything from Bojack horseman to Rick and Morty to history, an optimistic message and a solution to talk about our problems! This has to be one of the best vidoes Wisecrack has ever put out!
As much as I want Bo to do more standup I guess it makes sense why he’s making movies now. That way he can make new meaning following Make Happy, he’s following up on his thesis statement
John P hes making movies? Can you tell me where i can watch them?
Pochikal le Fluff He has a movie comming out this summer, its called 8th grade, Bo is not in it but he directed it!
Math Pin i guess it will only be shown in america? Or is it on netflix? Or any other platform? (Please say yes xD)
Pochikal le Fluff I dont know... what I know is its comming out in cinema july 13 in America and I think there will be screenings outside of USA (im in Canada but I dont know for the rest of the world) ...and we dont have much details as for how its comming out after (dvd? Netflix? No idea...)
Really well put, I often catch myself selfishly desiring a comedian to make more, but you put that in check here. Following up on a thesis, nicely done!
Sponsored by Taco Bell?
J Girl i believe carlin used the crunchwrap as a metaphor
J Girl for real! After the 4 subliminal “metaphor” I was thinking the same thing lol
I more interpret it as relating to the themes of the video - the first couple times it feels like ironic promotion, followed by a more cynical view at how oversaturated we are with constant advertisement, and ending with me accepting that Jared just really likes Taco Bell
As Bo sang in his song "Channel 5 News" "And we handle the flaws in these obesity laws in the segment that's sponsored by Taco Bell"
Oooohh Power Rangers movie vibes!!! I love that movie.
“come and watch the skinny kid with the steadily declining mental health,
and laugh as he attempts to give you what he cannot give himself”
not even a mention? pretty disappointed with this episode, wisecrack
Community did a great job of balancing both!
The superior sitcom
This sure is a long and in-depth Taco Bell commercial.
Yeah.
Buy delicious Nacho Cheese Fries from Taco Bell when they are still available at Taco Bell. Crunchwrap supreme taco bell nacho cheese taco bell bell taco taco cheese bell fries taco cheese fries crunch taco wrap bell.
You hardcore censoring the language in your videos is still my only critique.
Zach Gerrity
Its really funny, and interesting, how they only censored some words in the Carlin’s 7 words you can’t say clip
I realize your comment is from a year ago, so sorry for the necro, but that's more TH-cams fault especially nowadays. Constant demonetization everywhere because of swear words and explicit content. It's sad really.
You know, the beep censor can be quieter than the dialogue. The reason it's loud in real TV is due to a technical limitation, not because a loud censor makes it funnier.
ya the censor bothered me too. although it also always bothers me in general, on tv there were legitimate reasons to censor it, here not so much
Brian Dupuis ad revenue
All the censoring this channel does really winds me up too. They show extreme violence all the time but the word shit is too much?
Zach Gerrity don’t blame them blame youtube, violence=fine have money, swearing = no money for you
Alternatively, you could stop censoring simple words we all know, just so that some fast food chain will want to advertise on the channel to market their poison to children.
Shows how Bo Burnham thinks entertaining is only for making money.
Proceeds to prove his point by telling us about a sponsorship on his video made for entertainment
Well isn't it --not an irony-- Ironic
I-R-O-N-I-C
I've been waiting for a group like you guys to do this man's work some justice. Thank you!!
Damn, the new intro is fire
GOLD
Purple Reign24 You an NLSS fan?
Do you know the name of the song?
I've been trying to find out the song title for the intro.
Someone ate taco bell before writing this episode.
more like they were being paid; it's ironic satire since it's about capitalism and they're trying to put subtle commercialism in there but it's hollow
Sure Taco bell will pay some random youtube channel to advertise them, they really need it!
Jared is running Taco Bell ads so that you'll run to a Taco Bell and get the runs.
Omg I never knew that this was the video I wanted you to make 😍
SAAAAAAME.
I hope you guys do an Inside video, I think with Inside it goes past the idea of creating meaning in your own life and asks what does it mean when those meaning that you created are torn away and you realize that they've been distracting you from both the world around you, and your own mental state, I had a similar experience over the last year where I had to look inside myself and try to be ok with myself without the distractions
Damn they guna have a field day with “Inside”
You doing a thing with Taco Bell?
Bill Lowery they're not sponsoring them, wisecrack's just trying to get them to.
No, some of the items he lists don't even match what he said ._.
its a metajoke about how this episode is about how economics(particularly capitalism) affects the shifts in comedy, so they litter a lot of taco bell references
No, its fucking garbage irony.
Essentially we need to use the cynicism we obtained from post modern culture to reestablish our values and ethics on a sturdier base; instead of embracing nihilism for nihilism's sake, perhaps we should re-establish our culture on the fact that we know that nothing is real and that nothing is meaningful, to reestablish meaning and reality to where it more deserves it.
As a simple example a Christian might be motivated to donate to the poor on the bases that his good deed will be rewarded in heaven. A post modern cynic would come to him and try to convince him that his god does exist and that his action is still selfish in nature. A post-post modern reformer would suggest that our good deeds should embrace the selfishness that occur on our social obligation to help each other instead of the selfishness that occur on the fact that we will be rewarded in heaven. In short he would suggest that we should donate to others not because we are going to be rewarded in heaven, rather because helping each other is an important social obligation that we need to commit to in order for all of us to survive and thrive.
Or, you know, be funny
One thing that always gets me, and your comment really highlights it, is that postermodernism and nihilism are very destructive entities. Your example of a Christian doing something out of selfishness is incredibly powerful, but it's the reaction to their selfishness. The aim has been to discredit Christianity and considered it a destructive force, but that aim throws out all the good with the bad. I've had atheists tell me they are grateful for their Christian upbringing as it taught them charity, compassion, being a good neighbor, etc. Where this video claims Bo is going with post-postmodernism seems to look at building on those same ideals. The future is one with more compassion, more charity, and more respect shown to everyone.
In a sense, I think the cultural shift away from Christianity has seen a massive shift away from being a hopeful society. Society is grounded in the here and now and what's wrong rather than focused on a brighter future. Whether you agree with Christianity, it's hard to deny the positive outlook the religion teaches for the future and how a primary aim is to become more righteous. I'm trying to avoid the current political commentary where Christians act more like Pharisees than they do Christ in the political realm. That is another can of worms altogether and one that deserves scorn (and I am a Christian). But I see a lot of hopeless people that fall in line with postmodernism and nihilism and that's not a great outlook. I adore George Carlin because he could be a very destructive force, but he always aimed to teach and provide a way forward.
TL:DR Criticism without constructive remarks is a destructive force. Postermodern and Nihilistic Comedy is a destructive force and Bo is trying to push past that.
@@riffbw well said
@@riffbwthis was so thoughtful and I really appreciate it.
I can't get enough of that harsh realistic barbeque-flavored cynicism on the weekends.
Thanks, and good job, guys!
Also... Dayum, I was just watching this amazing, talented comedian. What are the odds?!
(Jared, do you want to tell us something? You know you can talk to us about anything, right? ;) Like if you are turning into google. Or maybe I'm just irrationally paranoid af.)
I prefer salt-and-vinegar sweet potato antinihilism.
Trii Hugger That's also good too! But that's what I've been eating most of the time.
I likes to mix it up every now and then. :P
Trii Hugger I prefer anal
Royce Bacelonia cute pupper. Keep chewing on that cynicism tho. Lesser doggos would choke.
Aye, Slim. The only feasible situation where "stick up your arse" isnt negative.
Hahaha man I love this guy, I remember watching his "words words words" stand up. He totally changed my perspective about stand up
Before his specials, it it is important to recognize how self-deprecating he was to counter how annoying he probably thought he was. My Whole Family Thinks I'm Gay was a perfect representation of that time. While it wasn't derogatory in most sense, it was a stepping stone in his creative process
TACO BELL, TACO BELL, TACO BELL, ARE YOU EATING TACO BELL YET?
No, I respect my colon...wait no, I've recently eaten hot Popeyes, a poblano omelette and Thai so hot it qualified as a chemical weapon...I think might actually hate my colon...but I love my taste buds, so no Tacko Bell for me.
Thank god i was cooking while watching this or i would be driving over there.
Bo Burnham is the GOAT.
Can't wait for his next special. His last movie was amazing btw
juanje99
The hell does "The GOAT" mean?
Greg Sanders use Google. It's a really handy tool
greatest. of. all. time.
The GOAT of what?
Hate to break it to you, but I don't think Bo is going to be doing stand up for a while. I believe he said that he wants to focus more on writing.
It’s rather ironic for this video to have two ads in the middle that feign sincerity, isn’t it?
Dalton Garrett should they not get paid for this free content there giving you?
Darrick Franklin do they not have regular ads on on this video? Like I’m genuinely asking because I have TH-cam red and they don’t show up for me.
Dalton Garrett nope, no ads are shown on this video.
sson386 hey, the irony is still present either way, not that I fault them for it.
Isn't it I R O N I C, N I O R I N O N I C
and with inside, he's at a post-post-post modern worldview, pushing the boundaries ever further!
As someone who was young when 9/11 happened, but old enough to remember it, I’m not sure the effect has been fully articulated within our culture.
Coming home to parents crying, not giving you straight answers, and then watching thousands of people die on television is something that doesn’t really have precedent.
So... did taco bell sponsor this too orrrr??
What do you think
Channel 5 neeewwwss
Can we get an update after the new special?
Can you not kill my ears whenever you use the censor beep? Or, I don't know, not us it?
Commander Virion we are an adult audience, we don't need that *beep* shit
It doesn't even censor the full sound. The word "shit" was drawn out for maybe five seconds, you still hear the full word even with that useless that quarter-second beep
Yeah for real. Like maybe mute the word instead of that obnoxious beep
They will get demonetized if they push it to far
If it actually hurts your ears the sound is clearly too high.
Bo was on the metamodernism train 6 years before Everything Everywhere All At Once. True Talent
Taco bell shouldn't serve fries. It's nacho fries, it's our fries. *que 90's laughter*
Que 90s freeze frame ending credits
I read that as ¿Que 9's laughter?
You just dislodged my DVT
Que?
@@silentm999 Tobias meant "cue."
Bo Burnham... BB... Bilderberg Bomb. What does Bo have in connection to the Bilderberg group? Keep asking questions.
>Berg

Grimmlocked
Wait so is bo Burnham using buildabears to help the bilderbergs bomb bugs bunny?
Mr.Teacher.McC Quit before you suddenly go missing lol
God I can’t wait til Bo comes back to stand up
John P he won’t
UnrealPandas Maybe. Never know.
judging from the end of make happy, i really doubt that it's going to happen. it would be great if he did though.
Really loved this The Philosophy of Taco Bell Promotion. It was the subtlety that really got me.
11:09 I guess INSIDE responds to his last special by saying “real meaning and happiness are not possible”
Bo is so amazing I love him
This is great. This guy is great. I like him.
Taco Bell unites all social classes.
"You all need some taco bell"-Probably Karl Marx,1999
*SIEZE THE MEANS OF TACOS*
Its time to update this video or make a sequel as his new special is out.
Been a very casual Burnham fan over the years, didn't even finish "what". After seeing "inside", this guy is truly special. Been going back over his other work and I'm glad he took a break. The brightest lights burn out quick, and in the art world that usually means they dont live long.
Edit: since the departure of the double decker taco, we've all been on edge. I've found help by ordering a cheesy gordita crunch and replacing 3cheese blend with beans. Not budget friendly
I'm glad you inserted your #tacobellthoughts to this comment. It felt lacking and meandering without them.
A'ight we need an update
I'm so excited right now.
I don't like two sound design decisions in this video:
- The beeps are intrusive
- The background music being constantly interrupted by musical numbers makes it dissonant; dropping the background music altogether (or at least in segments where they're bound to be interrupted) would have improved the experience.
Cool vid anyway, I'm really excited about watching Inside today!
Ok, but why didn't he say that Bo Burnham is pretty too?
Jeffrey Clarke to be fair I think he’s a straight male but I definitely agree
It’s so cool that you made a video on him
I'd be interested to see how you would update this video now that Inside has come out.
I'd love to see a wisecrack edition on Burnham's new netflix special.
Inside was crazy
I've watched a few of your videos......smart, funny, and deep you've earned a new sub
With Inside, his new special, being out you can really see how Bo is one of the most relevant comedian of our times. What puts him apart is his musical ability, any person who is observant and a good writer could perhaps write as well as he does however no one, and I mean _no one_ can combine that with the incredible musical playing and composing skills he has.
*Redlobsters are not really red*

Bo Burnham one of my favorite comedians
I would appreciate a wisecrack analysis on the evolution of Anthony Bourdain’s work and commentary on culture through food and travel.
Y'know why those fries aren't on the menu anymore?
Because they're... nacho fries.
since you mentioned it, do a philosophy of Eric Andre Show!
Mr Slime PLEASE
Awesome,love it when you talk about post-postmodernism!
Could you do philosophy of John Mulaney?
Seconding this request!
Please do the philosophy of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, this show is so important
Bo Burnham says "I hope your happy" both genuinely, and sarcastically at the same time, which was genius. Listen to the song. He just sang his real problem was the audience and how they were asking too much, but he still needed them for his own reasons.
I'm surprised Wisecrack didn't catch that.
This is my favorite bit about his comedy. He wants us to love him, but the weight of people loving him is crushing for us, and he continually makes us aware of that, forcing us to face how we affect those around us, even those who exist in the relatively insular world of celebrity
Wisecrack needs to do a new one on Bo! INSIDE is incredible
Jared I need you to be honest with me. Is Wisecrack sponsored by Tacobell? Or do you just have a serious problem?
Probably both.
I feel like it's like MatPat and Diet Coke. It's not a legit sponsorship, it's just a low key addiction, maybe to the point of a real sponsorship. Either way, it better become a Wisecrack meme.
I found out about Bo Burnham 3 weeks ago, today you post this, Coincidence? I think not
Alice G. Your being watched
Illuminati confirm
Isn't he a genius? He is the reason i decided to learn music, specifically the piano. I found out about him last year and i was so fascinated that he combined music with comedy.
I found out about Nathan for you yesterday and now he is referenced here? Has to mean something right? Right????
Söndēr i was going to give up on piano but then I found Bo and it made me keep playing
Inside seems to take us back to everything being meaningless, which is understandable given the context of songs like All Eyes On Me. Inside was a masterpiece and his best special
It's fantastic to see you predicted the metamodern movement which has arisen in art and culture in recent years.
I’m a simple man, I see Bo, I klick
I love Bo and I love you guys for doing this
"This Honda is black...like my wife!"
Bo's best joke.
Every time I hear that bojack horseman quote it makes me emotional. Its so simple yet powerful
I hope you revisit Bo now that Inside has come out. All I can hope for.
So this doesn't really matter but, at 2:28 you showed a double decker taco calling it a cheesy gordita chrunch, and at 18:35 when you mentioned the crunchwrap supreme being here to stay you showed a double crunchwrap which was only a limited time offer and is currently discontinued (at least here in California).
Are SURE it doesn't matter? Or can you find MEANING in the taco bell?
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed.
Who cares though?
Do an episode on THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE TH-cam COMMENTS SECTION
Yes I did like my own comment
Dude, that’s a fucking good idea.
Too complicated because of TH-cam Community is so complicated as it is. We're willing to get drunk and yell angry things during an Alex Jones video but then also get very emotional and supportive during videos like this or the philosophy of Bojack. I find many of us to probably be suffering from some sort of mental disorder I personally have depression and it makes for a very complicated subject matter.
THERE IS NO PHILOSOPHY IT IS A LAWLESS LAND
I can do that in a sentence. A fourteen year old’s idea of anarchy.
11:09 "in an attempt to see if real meaning and happiness are still possible." Based on the newest special after the pandemic, the answer seems to be "probably not, but push the boulder up the hill anyway."
Has to be my favourite to date!!!!!! You guys are the best!!!!
