@@bookerwills8649 there may be a point but the use of absurd extremes isn’t meant to be a reflection of him. After all, comedy has been long used to talk about issues in a way that is easier for people to hear.
@@invisiblechicken appreciate your response! I just meant the whole point was absurdist, but there is a point... it's why he stopped doing comedy because the point was hard to portray is this world that is the way it is
@@temisaqwhe was one of the first super popular youtubers, born 1990 and did their first stand up special in 2010. Their early youtube vida are very much of their time and hes said hes embarrassed of them but leaves them up to keep himself accountable. He is a prolific comedian and musician and artist in general, everything hes ever put out has been great imo
For me the clumsy-shocking youthful exuberance makes this track a kind of endearing time capsule. Being shocking is a social currency amongst teens sometimes, but there's still a hint of Bo's legendary self awareness in the way he pokes fun at that while leaning into it, even back then. You get a sense of this enormous raw talent just busting out of someone still raw and unformed themself and it just always kinda touches me because the ungainly, enthusiastic youthfulness of it is so relatable.
Your facial expressions and reaction to just about every shocking line is why i clicked on this on. 😂 He was young and a bit immature just playing around. It's shockingly funny comedy and you reacted like I knew you would. thanks for doing this one. I hope you do more. A lot of his newer stuff is still a little shocking, but has more of a mature substance.
You can say hes just joking around but its way more clever than almost any rap song where people introduce themselves lol. You are inadvertently insulting 95% of hip hop/rap if this is just him "playing around".
@@Nephilim63744546 I agree 100%. All his old stuff hit so hard 15 years ago as well. I've been a fan for all these years. Im on a reaction spree for Bo songs. I feel justified showing all my friends this for all these years.
Bo is one of those artist that you are just going to have to do a video on everything, all his songs are amazing. But like you noticed on this one, every bar could be stopped and talked about but shit like listen to a bit of it first
This was basically 12/13yo Bo Burnham, thats how he originally got famous on TH-cam before starting to do shows, it was all shock humor, and he has noted his regret for that in later songs.
Bo was 14 when You tube was created. 12/14 is not just a stretch, it`s an imposable thing. I used Google videos back in 2003, but still had to wait till 2007 to get you tube out side US.
@@Tommysimonsen 16/17yo then, regardless of specific age, which I obviously got wrong, he was still a kid, and it wasn't until a couple years after high school he got away from that ("Words, Words, Words" and beyond). He touched on the subject in his song "Problematic" from "Inside".
It’s easy for one to say that they have regrets about the one thing that made them famous. I ask this, had he taken away the parts that he regrets, does he truly believe he would have reached the same heights of fame in the same way?
Thing about Bo Burnham is his Hatetred of the Industry and what it representz and the Heinous Excessive Nature of it! one of hgis songs is a expressed line of disgust at himself over how his "name in lights could of fed a family for 80 fortnights!" is paramount of how he views the industry and its wastefulness and the disgusting imagery of Excess and well just flagrant Sex used as a selling point.
What to do with this information? Watch more Bo Burnham. If you want to understand Bo, then here’s two things. 1. He hates Catchy Choruses 2. He’s a Hypocrite
Tell me you're on the spectrum without saying you're on the spectrum. Thanks for the amusement for not realizing how much a joke this actually was. I say this as another person on the spectrum, not as a character judgement, but that made me laugh
"Taken the, 'b a t,' out of baSEMENt, homie" - one of the best bars ever
yeah took me a few listens to be like wait wait lol
Still can't beat 2 Chainz' bar of, "She got a big booty, so I call her Big Booty."
@@henrytawnn8694neither has anything on "Imdabes"
Vegan, nice to meat ya"
always kills me a little sneaky one
Don’t worry, it’s basically absurdist comedy.
Except there is a point... I think that went whoosh, if you don't think there was a point. You need to listen again. It's satire on society and art

The fact he was between 17 and 19 when this came out is a testament to his creativity.
he is like a young comedian?

@@Zand0r how you are able of talk this much about bo and dont get the "I hate the term “young comedian.” I prefer “prodigy.”" joke???
The BAT out of basement line is so heccin clever!
He went full lyrical miracle on this.

3:19 "shes hiding ham? Thats a good thing guys!"
It gets EVEN MORE creative as time goes on.
[Solo]
His song "new math" is probably my favourite of his.
I'm kinda with you here but I would argue "rehab for fictional characters" is just as good!

It was an old saying about big butts

Age now 32, time since this 15 = 17. Still impressive, maybe even more so, since it`s also correct.

1 take
Could you pause the video more?
Probably. You could do that yourself though.
Yeah, this one is pretty awkward and cringey. He’s show some cleverness, but yeah, he really improved.
Let me help you out a little bit brother, YES this is meant to be a comedy song lol, it was in no way meant to be taken seriously lol
Here we go again, play same video from the first channel, your shame don't have limits
😂😂😂😂
