Oh xD silly me I thought he expected them to laugh and didn't work but of course, it's Bo. Reading the comment made me realise it's all what he meant xD
he was venting and people started flocking to him, so he rolled with it and it got to much so he had to stop because it was overwhelming and it was consuming him.
You said this five years ago, now he's released inside, and let me tell you he's come so far beyond clever. Its just downright philosophical at this point.
@@wenceslas8355 Socrates was a philosopher who prided himself in questioning everything so when bo said do you like impressions people said yeah he gave them an impression while at the same time legitimately asking them why the fuck do you like impressions the why being the impression of Socrates questioning things lmfao
He actually says segue (pronounced the same though) which means to transition from one piece to the next, so I guess he finds it awkward going from one joke to the next one
No, it has multiple meanings, that's why it's funny. Frederic Names was a famous French architect of the 19th century who lost both arms and an eye in the Napoleonic wars. Also you call him names as in to bully.
@@ilikephineasandferb6152 It's great cuz he uses both is left AND right brain for his comedy, it's creative and unexpected but still thought out and clever
How I imagine Bo Burnham getting ready for the day: Hair? Dope a hell. Shirt? Check. Underwear? Check. Pants? Check. Shoes and sock? Double fucking check. Flamboyant as fuck glitter in back right pocket for me to sassily throw at somebody? LET'S DO THIS SHIT.
l've always loved how his songs are full of contradictions and puns. lt's always funny when you find a joke you didn't hear the first time. l also love how he uses his intelligence in his humor. lf other comedians are jealous, that might be why. l've been listening to you for 6 years, Bo, and you just keep getting better.
Bo - On a scale from one to zero, are you happy? 'Cause you're on your own from here, so are you happy? I'm open to suggestions, are you happy? But what the fuck kind of question is "Am I happy?" I really wanna try to get happy And I think that I could get it if I didn't always Panic every time I'm unhappy like I'm owed some life Where I'm always, like, happy Which is stupid 'cause I wouldn't even want it if I got it Wait, oh god, my dad was right So if you know or ever knew how to be happy On a scale from one to two now, are you happy? You're everything you hated, are you happy? Hey, look Ma, I made it, are you happy?
@@ocbee6175 Incorrect I'm afraid. Frederic Names the French architect never existed. Names (pronounced Nah mes) was actually a Greek philosopher who wanted to prove the goodness of the common man by severely disabling himself. He was convinced that he would be provided for by the community after cutting off his arms and legs and gouging out his eye. Despite the logistical complexity of such self-maiming, he managed to complete his task, only to be raped to death by a marauding band of Mongolians.
Lol that sounds like something he would do to his audience. Did he? Or did u come up with it? Either way I like it. I like it. I like it... I like it. I said I liiiiiiike it..
***** Haha, no I'm not new. I just don't think that telling you to burn in hell would accomplish anything. I respect other people's opinions because I want other people to respect mine, man. You know? But just so you know rape jokes aren't cool, dude. Rape isn't something to joke about.
***** Again let's just let our opinions differ, because no matter what I don't think jokes about rape are funny or okay. And even if I did think you suck compared to Bo, I wouldn't tell you because I'm actually a good person. :b
Whenever I hear Bo's joke about Impressions and Socrates I laugh and turn to the person next to me and say "Do you get it? Do you REALLY get it?" But they don't say anything because I'm watching this alone in my room exhaling deeply out of my nose.
I think Bo Burnham is brilliant. He takes jokes that require intellect and knowledge and combines it with vulgarity and crudeness to expose harsh truths and satire. Fucking rocks, man.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Bo Burnham. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Bo's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Bo Burnham truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Bo's existential catchphrase “Single every single day," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Bo Burnham's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂 And yes, by the way, i DO have a Bo Burnham tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
gamerzombies Blandston What's wrong with what adam said? Adam says Bo is indie and he is. A lot of people do would tour and are still indie. Bo isn't Adam Sandler famous now.
adam alkouri Well, he had that TH-cam fame at first, but I do get what you're saying. His type of show isn't as widely appreciated as "traditional stand-up." Bo is definitely my favorite comedian, though.
The best judge of comedians is other comedians, and Bo Burnham is respected amongst big names in the industry. So you can say he isnt your brand of comedy and thats fine, but just saying he isnt funny is wrong according to people who are in the craft. Look at him as an artist but one who works with comedy. not just a stand up comedian.
I disagree. All Comedians can judge is how technically well versed he is in constructing his act. Not how funny he is. Being funny can be a hard, difficult and complicated thing to achieve. Or it' can be as easy as a fleeting thought. And that thought could be funnier than a full hour of finely tuned and crafted jokes, satire and wittily presented social commentary. (Aww, all that phrasing almost makes me seem smart)
+Jacob Grzanowicz Ive been on a burnham spree and yea, alot of the videos he almost has to prompt the audience to say, that was funny, your supposed to laugh. I hate watching bo burnham with my mates because they just dont find him funny. Which leads me to one of two conclusions. Either they dont understand the joke, which i then try to explain and that annoys them; or they genuinly dont find it funny, which i cant understand.
+Justin Proctor So nice to see another person who's on a Bo Burnham spree :-) I don't even bother showing him to the people I know, I don't much fancy explaining every joke...
I know, it's kinda crazy. Especially with "From God's Perspective". Most people would assume that it's just a non-religious rant, but it really is more than that. Mainly with the line "If you want love, then the love's gotta come from you". It's really cool and slightly sad.
Honestly I wish there were more vids of Bo performing for crowds that don't know him at comedy gigs like this one. I just find it so interesting to see how people react to his kind of humour for the first time.
Outside of all these auto-comments and years later, if anyone watching his videos later in life this man has never changed. I Hope You’re Happy Bo. You deserve it, you brought so many of us happiness. Thank you.
its crazy that he was only 19 here. im 19 and idk anyone my age with the kind of guts that bo has to get on stage and say stuff like this. he wasnt kidding about being a prodigy
Not the same but I’m the same age as Bo, so hearing 19 I’m like “omg he’s a baby 🥺” . I know what you mean tho! And when he says prodigy i was like “omg babe you have an EMMY”
half the people didnt understand the joke but laughed anyways 7) Bo Burnham: "What do you call a kid with no arms and an eyepatch? Names." Explanation: Frederic Names was a famous French architect of the 19th century who lost both arms and an eye in the Napoleonic wars.
Why i love bo burnham, he is so fucking smart eith his jokes that it actually makes me proud when I understand them, and i learn on the videos too thanks man :)
His song "oh, Bo" where he's satirizing mainstream hip hop, do people in audiences not get how blatantly brilliant it is, the way he's showing how he hates that BS?
I know that this is a really late reply, but I felt like I had to say this. Bo Burnham- Words Words Words: "Hating other rappers like I'm Helga Pataki" Remember Helga? That girl with the long blonde hair and the pink skirt in "Hey Arnold!"? She always acted like she despised Arnold, and hated him with every ounce in her body. But in reality, she had a huge crush on him. Bo mocks these rappers on stage and talks about how much they suck, but he actually respects some rappers. I mean, just listen to his rapping. Obviously that didn't all come from him. He has been inspired by several rappers.
"When I was a baby maybe I laughed at people jiggling keys *do do* and now I am older and bolder and just get mad cuz i realized the keys are to a hummer" BEST PART!
Watching this after the interview about him expressing how much anxiety he actually has performing. He's brilliant, but is also a tortured soul. His humor is genius and he is really expressing himself. I hope that I can have the courage to be this vulnerable and authentic.
Seeing this video- I know I'm so late but i swear I just want to give Bo a hug. He just looks so stressed and unhappy. I dearly hope Bo is living a better life, the one he deserves.
i think something that’s constantly my favorite part about bo’s performances is that he’s so quick that the audience doesn’t even catch all of his jokes
Bo is the absolutely funniest. Love how he uses real world issues in his bits. Also of course , the original music and lyrics is off the charts. I'm almost 40 and love this guys stuff

I just realized that when bo was young he singing his songs with full of rage. He's not like he's performing, but he just letting all of his rage come out
I love Bo.. Been watching him since he was 16... Love it.. But everytime I see him live he seems like he just wants to finish the set or he's not Enjoying himself. I dunno... It's the facial expressions and his rushness of his songs

Literally his entire show is him letting out his inner teenage rage
To be truthful, the blueprint is simply rage and youthful exuberance.
His existential rage man… he is too much in his head and that’s probably why he’s depressed now. After Inside on Netflix everything makes sense
How does he stay serious and throw glitter at the same time.
easy for some

My part of the show goes a little bit like this:
Joke!

I too, subscribe to the giant hivemind theory.
@@SuperLiammail i prefer adorable over "manly". leave your toxic masculinity at the door please
"So I call him... Jamal..."
*_"Even though his name is Steve"_*
I think most people don't have the mental capacity to keep up with his humor... He really is genius
+Jacob Grzanowicz true
+Jacob Grzanowicz Ive been on a burnham spree and yea, alot of the videos he almost has to prompt the audience to say, that was funny, your supposed to laugh. I hate watching bo burnham with my mates because they just dont find him funny. Which leads me to one of two conclusions. Either they dont understand the joke, which i then try to explain and that annoys them; or they genuinly dont find it funny, which i cant understand.
+Justin Proctor So nice to see another person who's on a Bo Burnham spree :-) I don't even bother showing him to the people I know, I don't much fancy explaining every joke...

I know, it's kinda crazy. Especially with "From God's Perspective". Most people would assume that it's just a non-religious rant, but it really is more than that. Mainly with the line "If you want love, then the love's gotta come from you". It's really cool and slightly sad.
he pulled glitter out of his pocket
It was confetite
ObsidionxStudios it was glitter
Glittery confetti
I think he maybe just always keeps some in his pocket
Actually he gave birth to a dove
Honestly I wish there were more vids of Bo performing for crowds that don't know him at comedy gigs like this one. I just find it so interesting to see how people react to his kind of humour for the first time.
2:20 "Oh, and if die happy, the situation will be autoerotic asphyxiation." shit is just a little too relateable
Outside of all these auto-comments and years later, if anyone watching his videos later in life this man has never changed. I Hope You’re Happy Bo. You deserve it, you brought so many of us happiness. Thank you.
Well…
its crazy that he was only 19 here. im 19 and idk anyone my age with the kind of guts that bo has to get on stage and say stuff like this. he wasnt kidding about being a prodigy
Not the same but I’m the same age as Bo, so hearing 19 I’m like “omg he’s a baby 🥺” . I know what you mean tho! And when he says prodigy i was like “omg babe you have an EMMY”
Why am I not as disciplined and hardworking as Bo Burnham?
Noam Chomsky wearing a strap on.
I thought he meant "Gnome Chompsky" and I thought of a garden gnome wearing a strap on
half the people didnt understand the joke but laughed anyways
7) Bo Burnham: "What do you call a kid with no arms and an eyepatch? Names."
Explanation: Frederic Names was a famous French architect of the 19th century who lost both arms and an eye in the Napoleonic wars.
Why i love bo burnham, he is so fucking smart eith his jokes that it actually makes me proud when I understand them, and i learn on the videos too thanks man :)
Or, yknow, it's just a joke about making fun of people and calling them names. But your explanation works too
I didn't know this joke was a reference and I've been hearing it over and over for a few years. Thanks :)
I tried finding more info on "Frederic Names" but I only found websites explaining this joke... Can anyone find other stuff? Is this legit?
avndm I think it's made up, "Names" doesn't even sound like a French last name anyway :D
His song "oh, Bo" where he's satirizing mainstream hip hop, do people in audiences not get how blatantly brilliant it is, the way he's showing how he hates that BS?
He sings pretty fast, it can often be hard to understand the meaning of songs on the first listen.
I know that this is a really late reply, but I felt like I had to say this.
Bo Burnham- Words Words Words: "Hating other rappers like I'm Helga Pataki"
Remember Helga? That girl with the long blonde hair and the pink skirt in "Hey Arnold!"? She always acted like she despised Arnold, and hated him with every ounce in her body. But in reality, she had a huge crush on him. Bo mocks these rappers on stage and talks about how much they suck, but he actually respects some rappers. I mean, just listen to his rapping. Obviously that didn't all come from him. He has been inspired by several rappers.
No. Nobody gets it. Except for you. You're the only person smart enough to get it.
@@lejuanca Pretty sure that joke is actually:
Helga hates Arnold
Arnold = Main Character
Main Character = "MC"
"MC" is another name for a rapper
@@celty_6835 holy shit that really flew over 15 year old me's head huh
this guy is my spirit animal
I keep moving my hair out of my face. Damn it, Bo, move your hair.
2:50 kills me every fucking time
It really hurt to see him like that :(
I love bo im using his music in my montages........ I cant wait to see him
Red Randumb how ironic to see you here
weird to see you here.
He can wait to see you .
love your videos, randumb hope you see this lmao
lol your famous now
I love how his face in the first song is just "why are you laughing at me"
he literally looks like he's about to cry the whole time which makes it feel so much more genuine
"When I was a baby maybe I laughed at people jiggling keys *do do* and now I am older and bolder and just get mad cuz i realized the keys are to a hummer" BEST PART!
Bo has a bunch of jokes that I feel go unnoticed, like when he said that the chorus was coming or “I say a joke you go”
they all laugh as he legit starts to mentally break down onstage
Yup
His songs we all know are amazing but his stand up is underrated.
2:35 "The fuck?" Some Karen in the audience just got offended before the joke was over.
Conan's show:
Bo: "You like impressions?"
Audience: **cheers loudly and claps**
Bo: **does his Socrates impression**
Audience: **politely encourages**
This:
Bo: "You like impressions?"
Audience: **politely encourages**
Bo: **does his Socrates impression**
Audience: **cheers loudly and claps**
5:39 - "Swallow bitch, there's people starving in Africa." Then looks at the hot girl in the corner. Fucking perfect.
One of the most brilliant comedians out there.
Watching this after the interview about him expressing how much anxiety he actually has performing. He's brilliant, but is also a tortured soul. His humor is genius and he is really expressing himself. I hope that I can have the courage to be this vulnerable and authentic.
That is one of the best opening lines I've ever heard.
Seeing this video- I know I'm so late but i swear I just want to give Bo a hug. He just looks so stressed and unhappy. I dearly hope Bo is living a better life, the one he deserves.
i think something that’s constantly my favorite part about bo’s performances is that he’s so quick that the audience doesn’t even catch all of his jokes
I love this man. he is my smol cinnamon roll.
+Mech Anima It'll only take a minute, you'll be happy that you did it
Really you should do it
HAHAHA
Bo is the absolutely funniest. Love how he uses real world issues in his bits. Also of course , the original music and lyrics is off the charts. I'm almost 40 and love this guys stuff
I just love the fact that he's not just stand up comedy, he sings hilarious and witty songs ! XD I love Bo Burnham !!
C A T E G O R Y : G A M I N G
Bo is so nervous here. I'm starting to see his anxiety in his shows after watching him talk about it.
i liked the constant flashing of the number 60 on the top left that was the most hilarious one
This guy is fucking wild, man. His brand of comedy is a bit much at first but it's immediately apparent how much thought goes into his stuff.
7:25 _In Bo's thoughts_ : Hey, maybe it'd be funny if I just bROKE THE PIANO WHILE I LET OUT ALL OF MY RAGEEEE
I love you bo you make me so happy when im sad
What do you call a kid with an eyepatch?
NAMES! :D
Stopped the video. Read the comments. Got all I needed.
*throws confetti*
@@tw16mock The comments are incorrect I'm afraid. Frederic Names the French architect never existed. Names (pronounced Nah mes) was actually a Greek philosopher who wanted to prove the goodness of the common man by severely disabling himself. He was convinced that he would be provided for by the community after cutting off his arms and legs and gouging out his eye. Despite the logistical complexity of such self-maiming, he managed to complete his task, only to be raped to death by a marauding band of Mongolians.
He went through so much for us and I'm thankful he changed comedy in such a big way. I loved watching this 7½ minute video, truly amazing.
I just realized that when bo was young he singing his songs with full of rage. He's not like he's performing, but he just letting all of his rage come out
he's grown so much!!! congrats on Eighth Grade Bo!! We love you!
I just saw him in Richmond VA tonight, he was great!
Same :D met him afterwards too
+ashley 5827 nice
+ashley 5827 same I'm his best friend we've slept together I win
2:47 My absolute favorite Bo Burnham line
I love this man
I love Bo.. Been watching him since he was 16... Love it.. But everytime I see him live he seems like he just wants to finish the set or he's not Enjoying himself. I dunno... It's the facial expressions and his rushness of his songs
He seems happier doing his own shows like "what."
Rainbow Saurus "what" was great.. Big fan
Brandon Delaire his facial expressions are the best. Sometimes he just looks at the audience with total disgust. It's hilarious
Cysquack Gannon it's rude
Brandon Delaire my guess is he hates the applause part
