thru out the whole song the video is framed to look like a pic on instagram and then when the narrator of the song starts posting abt losing their mom the framing gets wider to sort of show that the narrator is being more honest to show that these basic instagram girls are real humans behind their posts
And the balloons say 27 which means she lost her mom at around 17 and her dad has now passed too. So all the vapid posts are covering up a lot of pain. The story with a lot of social media posts. They all have an actual person behind them.
Three little words. A couple of doves. And a ring on her finger from the person that she loves.
And here she is, having lost her mother at 17, without anyone to give her advice on being married or any other fascet of being an adult. And not even a dad to walk her down the aisle. Bo has a way of hitting you right in the guts if you're paying attention.
@@meggsy82 Wow I never made this connection, good catch. I think about this song a lot.
I also noticed when he opens the frame up the sides of the frame are messy, I think he was showing not only is there a real person behind their posts but also someone who isn't perfect
This song makes me cry.
Talking about salt rock lamps "They're on Amazon" gave me that funny feeling
Jeffrey, Jeffrey Bazos!!!
@@MeganTheLibrarian3 You did it!
There it is again
Love it😂
I see that. I also see that I own the exact wall plugin model Bo showed..also the types Cliff mentioned. and it boosts my mental health to access my bathroom at night without overwhelming white light. That funny feeling..~
I’ve always felt the breakdown about the mother and father works to humanize the “target”, being these women. Regardless, brilliant artist.
Great breakdowns man. Hope you continue down this intricate and meandering Bo rabbit hole. He’s truly one of a kind.
I saw another video of a girl reacting to this song, and the whole time she kept putting up screen shots from her Instagram and I was dying lol
I've seen that too. Forgot her name though unfortunately.
@@Akaeus I think the video was called "Basic White Girl Reacts To..." or something like that
Ellierose Reacts
Yeah and the idiot didn’t even understand the mom breakdown lmao don’t glorify that ditz
I think Bo's biggest take from this is that the dude really flexed his Cinemetography/Directorial chops again. Bo is already doing award winning Production for other VERY famous comedians. 8th Grader is superb and wonderful. Bo is just insanely talented and im overjoyed that he's hitting a wider audience finally.
"Fly you fools!" -MLK jr
LOL
The way he just pulls an avocado from his flannel shirt gets me every time
What I love about this song, is that it embodies what IG actually is: tons of pretentious garbage that you have to sift through to find someone's actually sincere post that they wanted to share with the world.
But it also shows there’s actual people behind this with there own life worries and troubles not just a faceless robot
Really? Here i thought the song is about all of us judging these people because they make silly, funny or hopefully pretty pictures of themselves, completely ignoring that they aren't just "instagram women".
I lost my mom in 2017. Occasionally I will post something - like on her birthday or on the anniversary of her passing - where I'm directly speaking to her. I figured out that I do that because what's most heartbreaking to me is that the world is forgetting her more and more each day... it makes me feel like she's closer if I know that other people are thinking about her and remembering her like I am.
I’m so sorry for your loss. And that is a very good reason to make a post. I’m sure your mom lives on in your heart and in the hearts of others. Whatever helps us cope and manage our loss 🙏. If you ever need someone to talk to, I’m always here too! 🙏
@@CliffBeatsOfficial Thank you, truly, that does actually mean a lot - and I might just take you up on that one day! 😊
I will ask one favor...call your mom and tell her that you love her 💖
That's how I always saw it. The words they're saying are them speaking to their loved ones. Posting it on social media is making it a celebration of their life. And it's nice to grieve WITH people.
I almost wonder if Cliff's awkwardness around it isn't partly motivated by... jealousy? Or feeling excluded? It's hard to pin a word on that feeling. Men face SO MUCH social pressure to never show feelings or pain, and here these people are, completely free to express their grief and celebrate their love for the person they lost.
It's not an attack on Cliff, either, saying it could be jealousy. I'm a trans woman who waited until later in life to transition, so I've been on both sides of societal expectation, and so many things like this used to bother me to my core or feel awkward and I never quite understood why, and now that I'm free from so many societal obligations and expectations, if I think about having to be caged like that ever again... I would be ENRAGED. I'll never again live under bullshit expectations like that. But everyone society deems as "man" not only has to live cut off from expression and support like that, they're not even allowed to be upset about their inner life being suppressed like that.
@@Brooke-rw8rc Yeah, societal expectations could be an underlying factor. Those constructs are pretty powerful! It could be a biological affect in part as well though. Hormonal differences definitely affect the way our brains work on an instinctual level.
Congratulations on your transition! My spouse is MTF and they started their transition at 40. They're definitely more open to expressing themselves emotionally now that they're out and being treated. My son is FTM - he has been out and being treated since he was 15 - and I sometimes wonder if that has been a factor in his emotional changes. He's not as "lovey" as he used to be, if that makes sense. So many different factors influence how we think, feel, and react though. We're very complicated beings so I don't believe we'll ever fully know.
@@ImaCatMaia Your spouse started their transition at the same age I decided to! I didn't get hrt until 41 and it's been just over a year now, but I definitely emotionally respond differently! Before transition, I'd be LUCKY if I could cry 3, 4 times in a year. It felt like a physical block between my emotions and external expression. Let's just say that is NOT a problem anymore! ;)
My friendships have also never been deeper, I'm close friends with my ex-wife again, and my Mom and I have never had this kind of closeness before.
It's really awesome that you have two trans people so close to you and are caring and respectful of both! 💙 I know we're not always the easiest people to understand sometimes, and it's really heart-warming to hear about people who are willing to try. Thank you.
The framing of the video is narrow like Instagram while he is joking about "White Woman's Instagram" but when he is getting real about the mother and father the framing gets wide to show the context of it's real life. A little spice of introspection that people behind the Instagram posts are real people. The levels of genius is absurd.
It is absolutely brilliant performance art.
Hey, this video didn't seem to be in the playlist.
Also, this song makes me god damn bawl. Her '27' birthday balloons, plus the decade comment means she lost her mom at 17. And... her Dad too.
Makes me ugly cry.
I do love it continues to her boyfriend proposing and getting married
I love that he went all out. High quality sets, and embracing his feminine side. He looks hot.
Nothing hotter than a man comfortable being feminine. Other than, of course, women. It's a butt, pal. Just a butt. It's quite an American thing in men to be so uncomfortable about a butt.
Love this special so much
I don't think it's weird at all for people to write letters like this to lost loved ones. I think that they are trying to tell the people that they care about how they are feeling and to keep the memories alive. I also think that this isn't the point of that section. You might notice that the framing of the video expanded as he came into that section and then contracted again as it went out. I think Bo was using this to highlight the fact that what you see on a person's Instagram is a small fraction of who they are as seen through a limited frame. That even though he's making fun of them right now he realizes that there are real people behind these accounts.
Bro you gotta add this to the bo burnham Playlist I almost missed this!
Not only did he change the aspect ratio to look like an Instagram pic, but if you pause on Netflix and move forwards or backwards Bo timed each photo to show up. Like an Instagram scroll
Omg I didn’t know that
I don't think there's a comedian I have ever been able to relate to more than Bo. I hope he truly is much happier. He deserves to be happy himself. The man's incredible.
I absolutely understand your point, but, I lost my mom last September and my dad in 2017, and I sometimes find myself in grief and the only way I can get through it is writing letters to them. I post them because my family and my friends can relate to them and maybe, I can feel a little less alone in those times.
I love your videos, btw, great fan and is only day one!
I hadn't thought of or heard your take on the part about her mom before! I can totally see that!
This is probably the best or second best song in the whole thing. My gf genuinely felt attacked lol
Also, fuck that person saying "it's weird to laugh at Bo Burnham" he's a world renowned comedian and regardless humour is yours to have. Enjoy it brother.
I lost my mom in my early twenties. I find it odd when people write to their deceased loved ones on social media too. To each his own, I genuinely don’t judge people who do it, it just seems strange to me for some reason.
Hey brother. Love your stuff. Spend as much time as you can with you mom and dad before they go. When they head off, you'll be wishing you had more time. Please make the most of it. You'll be wanting that time back. You'll cherish every moment you had with them. Please don't waste it, not saying you will. I was lucky enough to be at my dad's beside before the cancer took him. I hope you have to most time possible. Love ya buddy. You're awesome and are doing a killer job.
2:30 💯! You nailed it. It was buggin me in the back of my mind, I couldn't put my finger on it and for some reason completely mislabeled it in my head as 'professor-ish' 🤦🏻♀️
I lost my mom several years ago. I got woken up by a phone call from my sister a few minutes before my alarm was about to go off to get me up for work. If it wasn't for my homie that was my roommate at the time I probably would've fallen apart. Losing a parent is incredibly difficult. My friend didn't let me say I'm fine and put on a face, he made me face my grief but he was there to help every step of the way. Life has some incredibly difficult times, surround yourself with those who will be there with you during those times. It makes a world of a difference.
As a wise man once said,
"What about Second Breakfast?" - Martin Luther King Jr.
Thanks so much.
"A goat cheese salad..."😫After getting emotionally wrecked. Lol
Laugh. Laughter comes from all kinds of places not just denigration of mocking something. It is just as often in recognition or juxtaposition. Clever word play, being uncomfortable holding a feeling, a way to deal with something absurd. Always expect the unexpected.
The first time you watch this. You laugh at the first half. Then he hits you with her parents dying. And then it all makes sense. The theme of the song is that these white women on Instagram creating this paradise view. Is all a front and them creating this false reality to hide from their reality of how painful life is. Now I cry start to finish because the truth behind this song is in its core, a tragedy, not a comedy.
I think the parent part is saying like yeah she’s basic but she’s a still a human being
OK but I’ve seen a variation of every single thing he says and shows in his video actually posted on insta AND ITS FROM A HANDFUL OF WHITE GIRLS 😂
Idk how many people have picked up on this, but in the video when the margins are narrower like they are on social media, that’s representing the stuff he’s talking about that doesn’t have any substance, but when the margins widen like they do when it gets serious, dealing with the death of parents, that’s representing the good of social media, where you can post stuff that’s genuine and has substance
One of the main assets this song has going for it is the fact that it's purpose isn't to make fun of women being women, it's to make fun of a specific kind of social media performance that white women specifically fall into a lot of the time, and the performative activism that seems to come with that. "Comedy" is his critique of performative activism when it comes to white male comedians, and celebrities at large. Most of the beginning of the special covers different viewpoints of performative activism as a whole and it's really good.
Bo Burnham is a genius.
I’m just now seeing this, but I’ve literally looked through the channel for Bo reactions. Did this video get shadowbanned or something? What the hell YT
same i usually always see his videos when they’re uploaded but i’m just now seeing this one
Same, I just happened to stumble across this one today even though I have the Bell on.
I haven't seen or heard from my mom in 3 years. We lived 10 minutes apart for years and she never tried to visit me or her 3 grandkids and then she up and moved with my younger brother and sister without saying anything to me. They all have my number and she is on facebook with my dad's mom and never asks about us. Sometimes I wonder if it would be easier to deal with if she were just dead. 🤷♂️ But luckily i still have my dad and he more than compensates.
How I always understood this song, was as a kind of double call out.
At first he's just making fun of those instragram girls, who seem so shallow, and a lot of people will probably go "Yeah, they're so shallow!" at it (me included), and then he shows that they're still people.
We're quick to judge each other, and call someone like the girl in this song basic, and a lot of the time, we forget that that person is also a someone, with a story, with happy moments, and hardships...
So yeah... there's a discussion about wether or not this song is sexist, but it really isn't.
it's such a good song, and the visuals are very purposeful too. It's the kinda square instagram aspect ratio for most of it, but the part where "the white woman" is talking to her mom has the picture widen, it's not just a cliche instagram post. These are still real people with real experiences and feelings. Leaves me feeling a kinda somber feeling for the rest of the song, i.e. this woman has/is coping with the loss of her parents, but is trying and even thriving elsewhere. Makes it more endearing instead of something to laugh at
Weirdly this is one of my favorite songs from Inside. It's not the powerhouse of some of the others, but it's really meaningful in layers in a really understated way. It's just the way he structures his songs, he can't help but make them smart and rip your heart out a little...even when it's about some girl's instagram. I think the song spends a lot of time making you participate in shitting on this woman and being kind of voyeristic (hello, internet)--and maybe on some level a "white woman's instagram" is a little derivative and silly...but once it expands the ratio and goes into the woman's personal life and triumphs over grief, getting married, working hard and living in her own place...and then making fun of her feels kind of offputting in the next part. But he's also not being super mean spirited, either. Maybe instagram is some people's way of expressing themselves even if they aren't super original or creative with it. Like, maybe the chick just likes pumpkins lol.
if you do the math she lost both parents at 17 years old.
Interesting Song, interesting reaction, good, I liked it all, as for posting personal stuff on Social Media, never have never will, I feel strongly that it's not the place and IMHO it really cheapens the sentiment, some things are called person for a reason but Hey, that's just me, we live in a clown world most of the time where everything has been turned upside down and backwards.
Here's that comment dude thank you
He totally missed the point of the middle section where she posted about her parents.
I kinda get a little kick out of seeing the reactions when they get to the bridge, because so many videos where they do react videos they have a persona they stick to, and it's really hard to keep it up during that part so you can see the thoughts flying by behind their eyes
I like your reactions a lot! However, I wanted to offer a little constructive criticism..... Did you really need to make a big deal out of not looking at Bo's ass? It just reminds me of how men on youtube often react when they watch lil nas x videos for example...freaking out, covering their eyes, etc. It is a lot more fun to watch reviews/reactions from men who are comfortable enough with themselves to treat art with respect =)
Actually there is a natural reaction in heterosexual man, me included, to not wanting to see homosexuals making out. For us it's just something we try to avoid not because of hate or disrespect or anything, but we just don't like to see it. Does that make sense?
I tried to be most precise because it has nothing to do with respect or anything, it's just a personal preference thing and a natural trait in heterosexual men, at least those who have no doubt about their sexuality.
Respect and love to every man and woman 🔥
@@awalkingshadowmusic No, that doesn't make sense 🤷🏽♀️ It is not a natural reaction - it is learned behavior. If you are an adult that cannot watch a music video that has 2 men kissing (or, in this case, a video that shows a man's buttcheek for 1-2 seconds) without drawing attention to your discomfort - that's problematic.
Though you may not realize/intend it - that kind of behavior is homophobic. If someone is secure in themselves - they won't give a crap what anyone thinks of them.
Obviously, you can do whatever you want. However, I still stand by my criticism to Cliff Beats: If you are reviewing/reacting to art publicly - prepare to consume that art as it is. Be respectful.
@@jessiezachbff I don't understand your logic.
If I don't like to see blood I will not watch a bloody scene.
If I don't like meat I don't watch when people consume meat.
If I'm not attracted to men I don't watch homosexual scenes.
Where is that hateful?😅
@@jessiezachbff you see how non sensical your criticism to cliff is? He did not show any sign of hate or disrespect he was just him and still you can't accept that. Why?
Do a reaction for words words words by bo burnham
I don’t know why people comment about their children who have passed on because, I’m telling you right now I don’t want to see a comment from someone saying sorry for your loss every week
Bro, you need to check out Tim Minchin's songs too.
Hey, did you know this video isn't in the Bo Burnham Playlist?
The brilliance of this song is that it first gets you to laugh at how cliched white women are on Instagram, and then it hits you with this really profound human moment where you get to see her humanity and her depth. It forces you to realize that she's not a cliche, you've just been reducing her to a cliche in your mind. She's a real person, with real complexity, and maybe we shouldn't forget that.
hi
I do actually find it to be weird when people post personally directed messages to their dead loved one, but I suppose I understand it to be a way of saying "I need support now". I have noticed that it's become more of a trend now, but I'm not sure that it actually detracts from the authenticity of the feelings of most "ground level" posters; it could simply be the phenomenon of normalized expression, and may actually opens a path of dialogue that didn't exist before. Still weird to me, though.
For some reason this isn’t on your bo playlist
That is very strange. I’ll fix that. Thanks for the heads up
I feel like this song is 3 parts: A light hearted set-up, a reality check, and a reframing.
First, it's completely ragging on the "basic white woman" instagram. It's so predictable and unironically unoriginal. You think "OMG I know this person!!!" and it gives you this smug feeling of superiority. The refrain is a sarcastic "Is this heaven? Or is it just a white woman's Instagram?" referring to the bullshit idyllic aesthetic that these cookie cutter IG posts try to convey.
Then part 2 is where the camera pans out and we're reminded that there's a real person with real struggles and real feelings behind these vapid posts. We THOUGHT we knew this person, we had them packed neatly into this little box, but we actually had no idea. For me, it was actually kind of jarring. This feeling that I was in on a joke about how dumb IG and that whole scene is, but then there's this reality check that this is just a person trying to make it in the world just like me.
Then part 3 it seemingly jumps back into the same theme as part 1. We got a moment of vulnerability but it's quickly covered back up by this false narrative that everything is perfect. But now the posts are narrating a story. There are still the filler posts, but then we hear that she's now engaged to this boyfriend that she was so crazy about. Now that we know that this girl who went through pain and suffering is finding a light at the end of the tunnel, when we get back to the refrain, there's a bit more sincerity to the question, "Is this heaven?"
I showed this Bo video to a white woman instagramer and she said "Shit I'm guilty of like, half this shit."
He executed this song perfectly
Just a heads up, but it looks like this one isn't on the Bo Burnham playlist
As for the posting "letters" to loved ones on social media, I think there is a shallow reason and a deeper reason. 1) they might just want the attention. But 2), they may just want to feel heard.
No views?
Dude at least don't take your pics for thumbnails in bulk and then reuse them....
Noooooooo you cAnt laught at the comedian’s joke it’s insensitive
Interesting how all of the men's reactions totally miss the loud feminist undertone... First dislike in months :( ...........Define Irony.........
Dude, I give up. I can’t watch your stuff anymore. You literally stop the songs EVERY TEN FREAKING SECONDS.
That’s a part of being a breakdown channel. I left you a message already. If you don’t enjoy commentary, I suggest watching the original content. Stay safe and stay blessed 🙏
I really didn't care for this special. He got really weird on Inside. Like, nothing felt right. It was just uncomfortable to watch, haha! I got very few laughs which is crazy because I absolutely adore every other special of his I've ever seen. This seemed like the pandemic was really getting to him or something.
