I've always loved the twist of the phrase about how "maybe God doesn't believe in you." It's quite an intelligent use of the double meaning.
I don't get it, what's the double meaning? 😅
@@maurice8180 When someone talks about belief in regard to God, they are referencing the existence of God. But when people (or in this case God) talk about belief in another person, they are not referencing existence of that person but whether or not they are trustworthy and, for example, someone that tries to do the right thing.
@@jeffapellido1959 oh, I'm so stupid hahah, thanks for explaining! 😊
It's interesting because my first thought was not to consider "believe in you" in a literal sense, but for God to have faith in us. I looked past that for whatever reason.
@@maurice8180 you're not stupid, we all miss stuff.
One of the big messages behind this song is directed at the "You can't be good without God" crowd. Growing up as an atheist in the bible belt, I was told my whole life that if I didn't believe in God, I can't have a moral compass. How am I supposed to know right from wrong without having faith in an omnipotent creator? This song is a fuck you to those people, because it's really not that hard to be a good person, and you don't need faith or religion to know how to be good to one another. I don't need a book or a church to tell me to treat people with respect, not hurt anyone, and be nice.
Love the fact that ironically, the "You can't be good without God" crowd finds every loophole to be rude to people, despite their moral highground
Literally just had a conversation with a Christian yesterday about this exact thing. “How do we know right from wrong without god” like what? Do you i think struggle to not murder because I’m atheist?
That's actually in the bible though. That you can't do any good without God.
I realise I sound like a Christian trying to preach that as if is fact so it's just like to clarify.. I'm an atheistic satanist lmao
@@justriley8149 God's been gaslighting people for years
"Maybe God does not believe in you." Might be one of the most powerful lines i've ever heard.
I agree.
Or you could also quote Trixie Mattel:
"Just because we're all babies, doesn't mean there's a sitter."
@@FloraMHorta no
2:54 correction: this song is actually from the special "what." and the kanye rant is from another special called "make happy". Insightful reaction as always
They're not talking about Kanye Rant. They're talking about Rant which is another Bo song where he sings about his perspective of church and organized religion.
Rant And Kanye Rant are two differnt Songs.
@@SaraTiggs He specifically said Kanye Rant.
@@SaraTiggs First, they are talking about the kanye rant cause he said so. Second, the other rant is also another show then this one, so even if they were talking about the other one they'd be wrong
Bo’s 1st stand-up: 2009 on Comedy Central Presents.
2nd: 2010, Words, Words, Words (Which has the “Rant” song talking about Church and “all the seats at the Sunday Masses full of massive asses”)
3rd: 2013, what.
4th: 2016, Make Happy (Has the Kanye Rant)
5th: 2020, Inside (an amazing special from him)
“6th”: Inside OUTTAKES (basically a whole other special, worth the watch)
I think that a great way to sum up From God's Perspective is a quote from To Kill A Mockingbird: "There are just some kind of men who-who're so busy worrying about the next world they've never learned to live in this one, and you can look down the street and see the results." This is probably one of my favorite quotes ever.
Also Bo is an amazing artist, its so cool seeing a new wave of people reacting to his work!
That's actually such a cool quote! Thank you for sharing it! :)
That’s the kind of thing Nietzsche would like
"Art is Dead" by Bo Burnham is a great one if you guys want to continue with him or "The Fine Print" by Stupendium if you want a break. Great stuff! ❤
I second the Stupendium suggestion
LOL I JUST WROTE A WHOLE COMMENT ABOUT THIS I CANT BELIEVE this was recommended more than art is dead.............. Srsly and he was idk 18 19 when he wrote ?:o
And watch the green room performance in front of ray romano garry shandling and more he totally shows em up
Art is dead 100%
One of my favourites of bos stuff
ART IS DEAD IN THE GREEN ROOM PLZZZZ
Exactly what I was coming to comment
I love the line about aliens because it’s something that barely ever gets mentioned with regards to religion. If we ever find intelligent life in the universe, it’s going to raise a lot of questions about God.
...is it though? Everyone except hardcore christians is gonna be like "Oh cool, Aliens. They nice?" and said hardcore "christians" are just gonna screech "DEMONS! THE DEVIL SENT THEM! THAT'S WHAT DEMONS LOOK LIKE!" Or maybe they think they're angels. Who knows. But i don't think it's gonna raise religious questions. (Or do you mean as in 'maybe they're the beings our ancestors called gods?')
Not really. I don’t think God having side projects would be surprising
@@catherinelynch5239 yeah, the aliens probably won't mind us little side projects🤣🤣
@@kennyfleck8630 ikr 😂 Would you look at the ego on this human species?! It boggles the mind 😹
@@catherinelynch5239 if we find a single alien species with comparable development and a less bloody history, then it goes without saying we're the failed side project.
“We did everything but ate the ‘oink’”. That’s my new favorite phrase
Ayyeee, lets go Tom Jones!!! 'Preciate the support
De
"My love is the type of thing you have to earn and once you earn it, you won't need it" is (imo) his opinion on inner peace. Once you find your objective in life and accomplished it, you don't need someone else to gratify it. His rant later in the show also is a reference to trying to find meaning. Just my 2 copper
I kinda think of it more along the lines of the way people talk about sin. See the idea is people can't get into heaven on their own because they aren't good enough. They have too much evil in them. So if you focus yourself on being a good person when you reach that point you won't need god's love to save you cause you've saved yourself.
@@DarkCurow🤦♀️
The beginning bit wasn't supposed to be genuine, it was supposed to be a joke or ironic because he says "I don't want people to think I'm better than you or that I know better than you" then says he's about to speak from the perspective of God 😅 Classic Bo setup
Love your handle by the way. ...defygravity👌🏾
De
He was genuine, just bcs he then made a transitional ironic joke out of it doesn't mean it wasn't genuine. Jokes aren't the antithesis of being genuine
Yeah it was a classic bo set up with a dash of truth to it 🙂
I don't think it being a joke makes it any less genuine. A lot of times when Bo gets too serious and real, he immediately follows it up by undermining himself. In that way, his speaking parts follow the exact opposite pattern of his music, which usually start joking and ends serious. I still remember him talking about Shakespeare(?), quoting this passage with such clear reverence in his tone, only to immediately be like "What? Wtf does that even mean?"
@@De.Dre.Universe I kinda read the "defygravity" as no day but today to jump off a building.
I’ve seen other religious people get stuck on this line as well, including in this comments section. I think more religious people sometimes feel like this is an attack on their idea of god. Bo is atheist (though now less militant about it than when he was younger), so, while this may partly be a comment on how god is portrayed often in organized religion, it’s also not from someone trying to say something about god, because Bo’s worldview does not revolve around the idea of god. I think that, as in pretty much all of his material, Bo is trying to say something about people.
I look at the last lines from a more psychological perspective, in that, if you don’t love yourself, no amount of love from anywhere else will ever be enough. This is because if you don’t love yourself, if you don’t consider yourself to be lovable, you usually won’t believe love from others is real.
As always, I’ve enjoyed hearing both of your perspectives and am looking forward to your next post.
Nice. Well said.
Damn good take
What i heard during my religious education, you can’t expect God to love you, you also have to love God….as people we do think of ourselves first instead of loving God and others first.
There is literally no way to tell if Bo is being genuine at any point during this comedy special lol that's part of the appeal imo
idk, I think it's pretty easy to get a sense that there's some genuineness to what he's saying sometimes. Of course, it's anyone's bet how much, since it's also presented comedically. But even with that joke at the beginning, I do get the sense that he somewhat meant it, despite it being a setup for a joke.
@@peterlewis2178 Pretty sure Bo said anything you see on stage or content is part of the act yes even the whole inside special since he was working on a movie at the same time
@@lop90ful1 That doesn't negate what I was saying. Yes, there's an act to it. But true art always comes from a place of genuineness and personal truth. There's definitely some truth behind the vast majority of the art he makes.
The Kanye rant is a perfect example of the flip side of what you're saying, and how people assumed everything is just a joke and couldn't see the tones of genuine pain behind many of his jokes ("You can tell them anything if you just make it funny, make it rhyme").
Of course we can never know how much of what he presents us with is really him or true to him, and how much is an act for the sake of the art. We can only speculate. But it's clear that it's not all an act.
Ya ur right. It comes from a place of honesty and genuineness, and honed with technique
"We Think We Know You" would be a great choice for your next Bo reaction video.
Yess! “We think we know you” is one of my favorites and it really showcases his musical talent and ability to produce great music.
Absolutely. I’d say out of all of Bo’s musical performances, that one still hits the hardest for me.
I see christians saying constantly that the only way we know that atrocity’s are immoral is because god
I find this rather upsetting lol I really appreciate you guys pushing back on those ideas. You are the representation that the church needs lol
Charity, this is by far one of the greatest compliments. I'm a fan!
De
It's just a matter of perception. Maybe the part of you that is the voice of reason can be defined as the God within you. Idk I'm agnostic
@@thoughtloop9144 Sadly, no. We aren’t talking about different names for the same thing here. There are very real world consequences to essentializing and externalizating morality in the way that abrahamic religions do.
I would even say that the ways that that external morality is weaponized is an atrocity unto itself.
@@thoughtloop9144 you haven't met these people then.
I literally had a classmate in college who publicly said, in a Critical Thinking course, they would kill anyone and everyone that God told them to if commanded.
I got in trouble with the teacher for responding that people like him were insane and what was going to lead to the end of the world.
@@De.Dre.Universe i think we could all do better if that was our reaction, like "yeah you're talking kinda down on a group i'm part of... but you're also not wrong so yeah i'll take that feedback on the chin and work for improvement."
the intro was a joke...that went right over your head. I dont know everything. now here's me speaking for god.
They got it, it is not a complicated joke.
@@AlexColeAldems Bo Burnham fans will pretend his shits are also complicated deep meaning jokes that nobody else can possibly understand without rewatching 3 times while reading the lyrics.
@@zeallust8542 actually it was a super obvious joke and yet they still didn't understand and had 2 min debate over it.
@@bradbarnett4111 found the guy who can't read
@@zeallust8542 nah most of us understand that many of his jokes are simple just like bo himself does. I dont know the guy and have no idea if it was inteded to be simple, but of course bo is not perfect and will not be perfect with his jokes, but by my opinion he is a great comedy music writer
You might want to consider the Tim Minchin rabbit hole too. Bo says that Tim is one of his influences. As you’ve currently just done two reactions to Bo’s perspective on Religion, I’d highly recommend Tim Michin’s ‘Thank You God’ (the long 11 minute version with the orchestra).
Most of Bo’s fans are also Tim Minchin fans for similar reasons
I fell down a Shot for Shot Reaction rabbit hole today. Really enjoying your reactions. One line I think wasn't discussed enough is "my love is the type you thing you have to earn and when you earn it you don't need it".
It works along the lines of "don't rape because rape is bad, not because some god told you not to" in that if you strive to be a good person for the sake of being a good person (earning God's love) then you don't need to seek it out anymore. You have created it internally.
I love every single one of your Bo reactions. Man I love this channel. What lovely, introspective guys you are.
That last line looked like it hit Dre like a ton of bricks. Me too, man... me too.
A lot of old teachings around what food is and isn’t okay were based in how safe they were to eat
a lot of them were hard to prepare, or the animals were prone to disease, and so it was potentially unsafe to eat them
nowadays however the teachings are far less relevant
I’m a huge Bo fan and just binged all of your reaction videos! You two have a great way of talking articulating the thoughts and experiences that come with watching Bo’s content for the first time. It’s very entertaining! Who knew that I needed Bo reactions in my life?
Loved your commentary on this! 100% support going down the Bo Burnham path, but if you feel like switching it up, a popular and perspective widening react video is "History of the entire world, I guess" by bill wurtz. 143mil view vid and its a video that really makes you think
'Preciate that post jmkiser33!!! We will put that in 'must watch' videos
De
I’ve never been quick to tears, but the first time I heard the way this song ends I cried like a little kid.
Wanna see Bo deviate from the formula? Well, you should react to That Funny Feeling, but prepare to feel crushed emotionally.
I think the key phrasing for that end part about earning the love is “My loves the type of thing…” as in the type of love like you get from God would need earned. And if you live the kinda life where you can earn a love like that, then you would already also feel loved. You aren’t chasing that validation because you’re already living that life. It’s just another means of expressing that “put love in, get love out” kinda mentality.
This was lovely. I'm really enjoying your journey through Bo's material. ❤
This channel was just recommended to me and I love these guys. Such a great perspective I feel like they have very open minds. Especially that last part
Watched two of your videos back to back on a whim and already love it. You guys have a good perspective and it's fun to watch people react to new shit that actually means something.
Excellent reaction fellas, pretty sure I could see the emotion from you on the right at the end there! You both seem to get the deeper meanings from Bo's stuff, which is of course subjective, but it's really interesting to hear your discussions, much of which I've had internally with myself. Great stuff!
Watching you from France and I really like your energy guys! You’re so true and love your reactions on Bo’s songs! Great content!
i’ve consumed a lot of reaction content, and i love how naturally you guys are adding to the conversation. you really get what he’s saying, and also have points of your own. cool stuff !
I’ve started a bit of a rabbit hole watching you guys, watching you watch Bo and the triple insights and reads of his content have been amazing. Love seeing different perspectives can come to the same “view” on a subject when it’s leaning in favor of wanting to see more of the good in humanity in the here and now.
My man said "Is pork chops pork???" 🤦🏽♂️ 😂
Gentlemen. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I feel like Bo Burnham built a glass box around his brain, and watching the two of you unpack these videos has been an honest pleasure. Left Brain/Right Brain reaction especially moved me. Thanks again.
Can we all take a moment to appreciate how much his voice has improved over the years? A lot of talent and hard work have gone into getting him to where he is in Inside voice wise.
He's certainly improved over time, but it's also important to recognize that the songs on Inside were recorded with a limitless number of retakes AND were still pitch-corrected to some degree, while this was done live (and likely while he was screaming internally from anxiety as we now know).
This has been one of my favorite reactions to Bo. Glad I found you guys! Going to watch more now
You haven't experienced Bo Burnham in full if you haven't had a good cry after a good laugh.
This was an amazing reaction, I feel like you two are one of the few that actually discuss the topics that are in the material you react to instead of just saying “omg that was funny”, keep it up! I would really recommend some of Bo’s other songs like Words words words and Nerds, they are both very good, and I think you would enjoy them
If you want to watch Bo being more himsefl watch some of his interviews from when he was promoting "8 Grade"
You need to react to “Country Song(Pandering)” by Bo, it’s hilarious!
you have great reactions definitely one of the better channels on here
Love your reactions to Bo so far. It’s nice to see people understand what he is getting at. One thing that I do think it’s important to keep in mind as you keep going is that his earlier stuff doesn’t always have a “hidden” meaning or set up. Some of them are just funny. Like you would make when you are 18.
Him saying that he doesn't want you to think he thinks he's better than you are or knows more and then following it up by saying that this is a song from the perspective of God is supposed to be ironically funny
Loved this. Found y'all today. Really thought it was obvious which of y'all was De and which was Dre. It's wild to see you just genuinely experiencing Bo for the first time and to see you appreciate his style. I've been following him for a long time since he put out New Math on TH-cam when he was just clowning... he's always been wicked smart, and since his first special he's grown so much and it's been interesting to watch his career I do think by this point y'all are both right he doesn't say anything that isn't real. The opening was very carefully thought out and performed, but it was chosen specifically because he feels it
At he beginning, Bo's intro is genuine (he always is just himself), but he sets you up for the joke. He says doesn't want the audience to think he thinks he's all that and a bag of chips. Then he says "here's a song from the perspective of god".
"All that and a bag of chips," wow I've never heard that phrase
And btw guys you were asking about the intro, yes he legitimately acts his whole show out every word is planned out at least post 2013 for sure.
YO NEXT VID YOU GUYS GOTTA WATCH HIM IN THE GREEN ROOM HES WITH A BUNCH OF OLDER GENIUS COMICS AND PLAYS ART IS A LIE AND TOTALLY SHOWS THEM ALL UP
sry all caps haha
I just wanna say I've really loved getting to see your guys' perspectives, especially on the Bo Burnham series. As much as you've been giving Bo respect where it's due for keeping it real, you guys are keeping it just as real in your responses. It doesn't go unappreciated.
Additionally, I love that you're getting a taste of where Bo has been in his career, because I think it gives his newer work (like the Inside special) a lot more context and clarity. And if/when you return to Inside, I really recommend reacting to the full special (in sections of course).
Much love guys. I just found you last night and I'm happily subscribed 💛
Another amazing one by Bo Burnham is "We Think We Know You"
What a great way to reach and teach a lot of people [a message like this]. Right there with you, Dre.
The context you guys add with your lives and how religion changed you is so interesting. As a person who grew up Mormon, and later left the church, love the Bo Burnham stuff. Keep it up
Just found you guys. Watched a couple Bo reactions in a row and just wanted to say I love your guys' discussions and appreciate you perspectives. Keep on keepin on
I imagine God's love from this perspective as "I love you so much, and I am so sick of your shit right now."
Love you guys! These Bo reactions are always worth the wait.
I cried to your back and forth in this and analyzing this song. Because you both always have a great respect for the views of others. 💙
Love yall! Thanks for doing what you do. Makes unwinding after work easier. 💙
I really love your reactions and how you discuss the meaning and depth behind the lyrics. You should definitely keep reacting to more Bo Burnham. I think you'd like "Lower Your Expectations" or "Pandering" both funny but also surprisingly deep and intelligent.
Love your reactions guys, keep it up. I liked how you broke down what he says at the beginning of the song, I always just took it as a joke - like "I don't want people to ever think that I think I'm better than them - this song is written from the perspective of God." His timing is always just so perfect on how he delivers those lines.
Def gonna be checking out your podcast, I was really digging what you were both saying. Really enjoyed this!
Thank you for your beautiful reaction. And yeah, I think a lot of us feel this way. That to being doing God’s work, you cannot be at church. You need to be out, in the world, giving your love and support to yourself and others. Talking the talk and walking the walk. 🙏 💚✌️
I found you guys and asked for this yesterday and it came out today! Perfect timing
Enjoyed yalls reaction. Dre, you're breakdown of the last lines is the same way I took it
low key, that "de and dre" slide just for like half a second right at the beginning like with the fade out music is perfect, it always nags me when i wanna be supportive or helpful or even just leave a comment for shits and giggles for reaction duos like this, when i have no idea whos who, good on you guys for finding a simple solution
Loved your analysis! Looking forward to more great videos!
Damn, I may just be checking out yalls podcast.....love level headed realness
Appreciated the convo. Cheers to bo!
First time I’ve seen one of your videos but y’all are killing it! Keep grinding 💪🏽
you guys have great insight and conversation on ur vids
"Maybe god does not belive in you" that's a quotable if i've ever heard one
I love your thoughtful commentary
needed this today, loving these videos
I LOVE the way you react to Bo!
i absolutely love the wholesome twist of this. instead of doing good just bc god told you to, be good bc it makes you feel good
I feel so represented by you guys...i just love bo, he's the master of deepness and comedy, and of course of music. It's just sick❤
Dude on the right sound like Patrick 😂😂 good video fellas 🔥
Loving these videos, ya'll having some very interesting insights. For a less deep but just as impressive reaction ya'll planning on doing "I'm Bo Yo"? first song of his to go viral back in like 08, even as a kid the man was on point with that witty lyricism
Gary, this is another highly requested video. Stay strapped in and I'm sure we'll get to it
De
Just found you guys. Instantly felt connected. Subbed. Much love! ❤️
My favorite thing from seeing lots of reaction vids to this song over the past year is that everyone has felt it has a good message, and I've seen reactions from Christians, Muslims, Atheists, and probably others I'm unaware of. Leave it to Bo to speak FOR GOD and have literally everyone agree with him (on at least some things).
What are you guys talking about? Bo is the most genuine person I have ever seen - 180% authentic on stage
Intro was absolutely a joke. I don't want people to think I think I'm better than anyone, but here a song where I know what God thinks.
lmao.. he said "we ate everything but the oink"... im soo saving that
Just realized how much clearer the video is! Looking great guys :)
I think the purpose of "my love is the type of thing you have to earn" is meant to be a comment on the moments where you shout to the heavens, "why god? Why is life so hard?"
In the Bible god answers those he sees potential in. But in real life, when we ask, "why god?", we keep asking that question until we realize we learned how to triumph on our own, and didn't need a miracle after all. "The love has got to come from you", really fits with that idea. Great video yall
Ayyy been waiting for this one nice !
“We did some amazing things with pork, man. We did everything but eat the oink,” okay, but that’s a straight amazing line. That’s some pure word carving goodness, right there
Love this. If you take a break from Bo Burnham you should check out "Predjudice" by Tim Minchin.
Storm is also great
So excited to see y’all do this. 👍
Great review. My theme I have been trying to march to is "Live like you just immigrated". Have a little mindseye to imagine an alternate self under those circumstances.
Really interesting concept Keith. Got me thinking for sure. Thanks for the comments, sir
De
These are my favorite reactions of bo. Keep up the great work. If you want to have fun check out his other rap videos
Just suscribe after seeing all ur reacts of Bo, excelent work, keep it up, exciting to watch the following reacts, Bo has a lot of content and i like the way u two perceive it, ill be waiting for more videos (y).
That intro I feel is both, genuine and part of the bit. He doesn't want people to percieve him as correct all the time, or better than anyone because of his position in society(famous, or even more, just a person with a "different" view of life) but rather you just hopefully enjoy his jokes, and then hits you with the title of the song which is the "perspective of God" which is HELLA irony. I refer to (What.) as "Meta Bo", where he really reaches in his bits to reflect a deeper meaning or double meaning or what have you. basically, he is trying too hard to really nail in the fact he is kind of bleak, and cynical but also like listen to him complain because he kinda has a point? if that makes sense. This is probably one of my fav songs from this special. love yalls content! Would love to see you guys listen to some stuff from Words Words Words, that was his first TV comedy special
I like that y’all aren’t scared to talk about real shit when you watch a reaction about real shit. Subbed. Love.
You guys probably have among the most intelligent reactions out there on TH-cam. They’re all mostly superficial and/or scripted, but you guys bring soul, realness and intelligent conversation in all this. Big up.
Been waiting for this
"Pork chop...that's not pork though... is that pork?"
NAAAHHH 😂😂
Great reaction video, keep it up :)
You know, ya'll said it feels like one day you need to meet bo, I feel the sameway, about him, and about you guys, when you have truths that resonate that's the currency we should recognize, also that same truth (as we age.) is where our wisdom spawns.
Yall cool peeps, Ima sub.
New subscriber, you guy’s are really insightful and I’ve been enjoying your takes on Bo’s stuff so far. I’d love to watch you take the NF journey (if you didn’t know, it’s called that because once you start reacting and watching his music you can’t stop). Probably the deepest rapper out there, you can start almost anywhere in his deep catalogue but might as well start at the beginning with intro. (The search is my favorite song). I think it’s called the NF journey because you really see him transform from his old stuff to his newer. He’s been through a lot of trauma and puts it all out there. Not a single rapper out there has as many fire songs though.
(Sorry meant that there are a few different reasons it’s called the journey lol)
Got yourself a subscriber because of how good that metaphore of the injection of the medicine was - you're starting to become the real real Bo fans lol
I've seen people suggest it and guys, please PLEASE do the "We think we know you" or, at least "the Break-up song". WTWKY changed my life and I've been his obsessed fan ever since, so just imagine.
Not sure if you guys are planning a larger watch of "Inside", but 'That Funny Feeling' is a must watch. Also, Bo just put out an hour of cut content from the special on TH-cam, "Five Years" and "1985" are ones you definitely gotta check out. I would recommend "The Chicken" from the outtakes as well, but it hits different after listening to the last song (Goodbye) in the original special.
Comedy from Inside. And thank you for sharing your thoughts!
