Honestly I do gotta agree with the corporations on some of them. Your teen life has not been lived to the fullest unless you gathered for an ominous satanic ritual with the lads.
realistically, I feel like it has to do with context, we know Bo Burnham is ironic in what he's doing so we oftentimes set the expectation a little lower, coupled by the fact that he's already talented, funny, and dedicates himself to what he's doing, so it turns out surprisingly good, which it definitely is.
@@doorshotel This is the correct answer. I am only pointing this out because the comment above mine is so freaking insane that this is the only way I can avoid calling them a total pandering idiot.... Which is obviously problematic given that is what the song is about.

***** ...ok? If you dislike my use of a word on the internet then maybe you can just ignore it as it's just a few words on a computer screen? You don't have to go out of your way to patronize me.
You don't realize how gigantic bo is until he's around other normal sized humans. And then sit him behind a grand piano and he looks like a little kid again. Crazy
While I know that people are disappointed that “satan you taste so good” was removed for this version, I thoroughly believe that Bo saying “Swag” in a demonic voice makes up for it.
even in the age of "just let people like things," this song perseveres because it's criticizing the industry and its players, not the listeners. Bo's a king for that.
@Halston it's especially rough when it's kids being essentially groomed to worship this industry's products. it's like the industry implants the demand for the supply they already made. media literacy & conscious consumerism are not taught as much as they should be to people, either (those can only do so much anyway). it can all be kind of discouraging, but hearing people like Bo discuss it on a stage makes it feel less all-powerful
After a horrible accident that left me with one arm and serious burns losing my fingerprints, the colour in my eyes and the ability to smile I find there's no representation for me in this song.
@@oogabooga2036 That's doubtful when another on one of your own comments you say you were a 13 year old girl who just found a new celebrity to obsess over. So happy TH-cam has a system to check past youtube comments.
I was looking for this comment. Same here lmao. But the one that really got me was when he mouthed "fuck you" at 1:21. I've been watching this video off and on for years and this is the very first time I've noticed it.
I miss Bo Burnham so much. I respect his choice to go into directing and behind the scenes things, but he is so brilliant and I miss seeing him perform things he has written.
@@irok1 he did say he wants to tho , but that he needs to figure out what he wants to say, maybe in a covid less world thered be more news from that Tho yeah if that makes him happier than all the more reason not to do it
Because of this music video, I have formed the opinion that Bo would definitely be the person who gets possessed by an ancient demon in a cheesy horror flick.

“Yeah, we know it’s right, we know it’s not funny but we’ll stop beating this dead horse when it stops spitting out money but until then, we will repeat stuff” Is one of the greatest lines I’ve ever heard.
Can we talk about how the image of some demonic entity disguising itself as a teen pop star so it can pray on teenage girls by grooming their devotion and putting subliminal messages into its songs is an amazing horror concept masterfully portrayed in this video?
I only just found out this song had a music video, and its honestly perfect. About half way through ur thinking "He's doing that music video thing. Its so ironic, he actualy pulls of being hot right then, its sorta working on me. Its a perfect parody." And then at the end it reveals itself and you feel so violated. Its not just and a good music video and a great comentary, its a live demonstration of what he means.
In *'We Think We Know You'* (the finale of *'what.'* ), the corporate manager mentions writing songs to appeal to the youth. He tells Bo to write about topics such as razor scooters. In this music video (which is quite literally about how corrupt the corporate music scene is, specifically when trying to appeal to young people), someone rides past on a scooter to high-five Bo. I cannot get over how clever this is and how much symbolism Bo can fit into an hour of comedic music. I'm sure there is so much more nobody has realised yet. He is just so insanely skilled. Bo is a comedy genius.
@@SecrecyIsBliss Wow, not going to lie I had to look up who that was but now that I know it’s such a cool thought! I wonder if it did influence Bo? That’s so clever, thank you.
@@katieshort.06 Would be interesting if it was because Bo specifically mentioned Justin Bieber when talking about Repeat Stuff on Conan (admittedly because Justin was in the audience for one of Bo’s shows), and Justin is managed by Scooter Braun
ah yes, damn you modern voiceOver and other vision accessibility tools. We need to change the lyrics to apply to this new demographic who can now "enjoy" our content. let's replace _eyes_ with _brain._ Got 'em. Suckers
I occasionally remember this song and come back to see if I still have the same dark sense of humor, 7 years after I found the existence of Bo Burnham , yup still the same 😂
If I ever meet a primitive tribe that hasn't been connected with any form of modern society and they ask me to describe pop music, I will show them this.
I think by the time you get to the video, you'd have already blown their minds with the device you use to show it to them, or the fact that you're there at all. That's if they didn't kill you first. :p
I just noticed two details for the first time: 1) The teens at the party are all playing with childish toys (like a girl’s literally staring a pinwheel) 2) Bo and the boys are all drinking juice He’s showing that these teen idols are shown as being pure and wholesome to seem like the perfect boyfriend who would never hurt you.
You may also notice those ball-chucking toys they're not even using correctly. Really shows the conceit of "We just handed it to the actors with no instruction"
I know this video is supposed to be humorous but it is a really good representation of what a crush/obsession with a celebrity does to you. You obsess over the person because it gives you a dopamine release and distracts you from real life. You are deluded into having a connection with that person but then get sobering moments of reality when you realize that you will never be actually loved by the object of your affection. "hate yourself then pay me to tell you I love you"then repeats the vicious cycle. Your life force is literally being drained by the obsession.
I know this song is a jab at the industry as a whole, but I totally feel like it's specific to Justin Bieber's, Baby. The beginning instrumental... the way he's dressed and the way some scenes are shot... "baby, baby, baby" = "repeat stuff, repeat stuff, repeat stuff."
lol haha so true as for the song simulariies to beiber i hoenstly couldnt say i never could listen to his music..but i swore i saw some reference to one direction and nsyinc
I noticed some extremely brief flashing text near the end of the song, and by downloading it and going through the whole thing frame by frame, I found all the subliminal messaging easter eggs that you can't see unless it's slowed down: 1:31 CONSUME 2:04 KILL 2:16 JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE IS THE FUNNIEST PERSON IN AMERICA 2:20 JFK KILLED HIMSELF 2:39 THE ILLUMINATI IS HERE TO HELP YOU 2:50 WATCH THE MINDY PROJECT TUESDAYS NIGHTS ON FOX 3:00 TRY TO BE FAMOUS 3:09 SETH MACFARLANE IS A MOVIE STAR 4:29 DREAM BIG (while the Hitler pose is being done/the Hitler audio's in the background lmao) 4:32 DISSENT IS DEATH 4:38 MICHAEL CLARKE DUNCAN IS ALIVE AND LIVING IN AMES, IOWA 4:40 THIS IS ALL A SIMULATION 4:48 GOD DIED IN 1993 4:50 ACCEPT CONVENIENCE FEES
Fun fact: The house he's breaking into here is actually the house he lived in until just recently. It's also the very same house from the famous horror film "A Nightmare on Elm Street". Bo filmed "Inside" in the property's guest house as well.
When Bo Burnham quotes T.S Elliot, he’s taking the opening lines from his most famous work: “The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock.” And if you read the poem, it’s impressive how well it works with the message of this song. Good one, Bo.
super chicken boii I know, and I've been here since I was… 11 or so? I don't know, give two or three years to that. He technically was my teenage years but still. 22 btw
Reading the comments about Justin and Selena seeing this live, it makes me think about how this song isn't really even criticizing the artists themselves. It's the agents and the industry who pressure this type of material and it's the corporate greed. "We'll stop beating this dead horse when it stops spitting out money".
When he shows the mother’s point of view, it’s a lot like the part in “white womans Instagram” where we hear her talk about how she misses her mom. It paints a perspective that allows us to understand the women rather than demonize her like we would the music industry, or demonize the participant of social media.
0:26 “i love your heart and you’re so smart, just GAVE AWAY it.” he’s talking about how he’ll literally take away their heart. bo is a master lyricist goodbye.
This is such a smartly aware song, not only does it poke fun at the state of the music industry. Capitalising on the low self-esteem of young girls. It's all just consumerism. There's something much more sincere at the end here.
He’s an example of someone who got everything he could out of high school. He took honors classes and I’m not sure if he was valedictorian but if not probably close. Was accepted to Harvard. He’s clearly smart and well educated.
2:18 is the funniest part about this music video that was added and not in the original version, the demonic “SWAG” at the end is the cherry on top LMAO
I can't even comprehend how something can be so beautifully comedic and so terrifyingly truthful all at once. It's like when I watched Monty Python's The Meaning Of Life on mushrooms.
Why are we here, what's life all about? Is God really real, or is there some doubt? Well tonight we're going to sort it all out For tonight it's the Meaning of Life What's the point of all this hoax? Is it the chicken and the egg time, are we just yolks? Or perhaps we're just one of God's little jokes Well ca c'est the Meaning of Life Is life just a game where we make up the rules While we're searching for something to say Or are we just simple spiraling coils Of self-replicating DNA? What is life? What is our fate? Is there a Heaven and Hell? Do we reincarnate? Is mankind evolving or is it too late? Well tonight here's the Meaning of Life For millions this life is a sad vale of tears Sitting round with rien - nothing to say While scientists say we're just simply spiraling coils Of self-replicating DNA So just why, why are we here? And just what, what, what, what do we fear? Well ce soir, for a change, it will all be made clear For this is the Meaning of Life - c'est le sens de la vie - This is the Meaning of Life
The look from the.mom at about 4:11, when she starts to remember how she was done the same.way in her youth, is pure existinal horror, perfectly captured.
the irony is that ive listened to this 4 times in a row. why is this the perfect satire of a genre lol, he didnt even go after the audience he just goes straight to the musicians/industry haha genius. ok but seriously its so freaking catchy i cant turn it off
@@martindkampmann I don't think Bo would take back what he said but Justin was still just a kid back then, I'm sure he'd feel atleast abit of "Oh damn I'm roasting a kid who just wanted to enjoy their free time infront of who knows how many people"
"JFK killed himself" 2:21 "Watch the mindy project Tuestday nights on Fox" 2:50 "Seth Macfarlane is a movie star" 3:09 "Dream big" 4:30 "Dissent is death" 4:33 "Michael Clark Duncan is alive and living in Ames, Iowa" 4:39 "This all a simulation" 4:41 "God died in 1993" 4:49 "Accept convenience fees" 4:50 White flashing text with timestamps

Because he's very talented.

If I ever meet a primitive tribe that hasn't been connected with any form of modern society and they ask me to describe pop music, I will show them this.
Hey Rob! I didn't know you watched Bo!
I think by the time you get to the video, you'd have already blown their minds with the device you use to show it to them, or the fact that you're there at all. That's if they didn't kill you first. :p
Wow, it seems like all my favorite people are beginning to line up with one another.
Justin Zurawski Everyone that's awesome watches Bo Burnham.
This just makes you even more amazing!!!
I just noticed two details for the first time:
1) The teens at the party are all playing with childish toys (like a girl’s literally staring a pinwheel)
2) Bo and the boys are all drinking juice
He’s showing that these teen idols are shown as being pure and wholesome to seem like the perfect boyfriend who would never hurt you.
You may also notice those ball-chucking toys they're not even using correctly. Really shows the conceit of "We just handed it to the actors with no instruction"
woah..
or a hint of it being made by out of touch old men
yessssssssssss
juice is manly
When he smothers you, rips out your heart, and then eats it

I find it funny because your name is 'John Smith', a very masculine name
god damnit you made him insecure and change it!
somebody reply when this gets over 666 likes, as that just fits this comment so well that i refuse to like it as it stands
I know this video is supposed to be humorous but it is a really good representation of what a crush/obsession with a celebrity does to you. You obsess over the person because it gives you a dopamine release and distracts you from real life. You are deluded into having a connection with that person but then get sobering moments of reality when you realize that you will never be actually loved by the object of your affection. "hate yourself then pay me to tell you I love you"then repeats the vicious cycle. Your life force is literally being drained by the obsession.
That part of Bo putting on chapstick and bitting a cross gave me some strange non christian feelings
Usagi Garcia me too jffjjd
@@saturnerens it was like a "Oh damn he's sexy" moment
Usagi Garcia yessir
This whole song is giving me a non Christian feeling
Usagi Garcia _Yes._
still a better love story than twilight
Old, but gold in this situation.
Omg you make me i-g-g-cry I love you
I didn't know you liked Bo
You know, its actually really similar to twilight. I mean, pedophilia, and then killing your fangirl....
hahahahaha never heard that one before.
-_____-
I know this song is a jab at the industry as a whole, but I totally feel like it's specific to Justin Bieber's, Baby.
The beginning instrumental... the way he's dressed and the way some scenes are shot... "baby, baby, baby" = "repeat stuff, repeat stuff, repeat stuff."
to be gair..its hard not to make fun of him..he makes it easy..but i can see some other influences from other bands
Pretty sure it's the same chords as "Baby" too
hilary olson Well of course. The biebs is the worlds easiest punching bag.
lol haha so true as for the song simulariies to beiber i hoenstly couldnt say i never could listen to his music..but i swore i saw some reference to one direction and nsyinc
oh i grapsed the meaning it was pretty obvious if you pay attention. We were just talkign about who was all being poked at
The line "How could love be wrong?" unironically hits hard
I noticed some extremely brief flashing text near the end of the song, and by downloading it and going through the whole thing frame by frame, I found all the subliminal messaging easter eggs that you can't see unless it's slowed down:
1:31 CONSUME
2:04 KILL
2:16 JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE IS THE FUNNIEST PERSON IN AMERICA
2:20 JFK KILLED HIMSELF
2:39 THE ILLUMINATI IS HERE TO HELP YOU
2:50 WATCH THE MINDY PROJECT TUESDAYS NIGHTS ON FOX
3:00 TRY TO BE FAMOUS
3:09 SETH MACFARLANE IS A MOVIE STAR
4:29 DREAM BIG (while the Hitler pose is being done/the Hitler audio's in the background lmao)
4:32 DISSENT IS DEATH
4:38 MICHAEL CLARKE DUNCAN IS ALIVE AND LIVING IN AMES, IOWA
4:40 THIS IS ALL A SIMULATION
4:48 GOD DIED IN 1993
4:50 ACCEPT CONVENIENCE FEES
THANK YOU
Oh, there's that many? I only noticed 4 of them near the end.
+Katiee Mcdee lol you're welcome
+Guitarex yeah most of them you can't notice at all unless it's slowed down, especially because they're very transparent
+Praecosmile I especially love the "Try to be famous" one, as it's a reference to his short lived TV show "Zach Stone Is Gonna Be Famous."
Bo is such a confusing comedian. He provides incredibly serious introspective into society and personal thoughts, while also being hilarious.
+Griffin kirkpatrick Like Pewdiepie ;P
I love comidians who can find a way to do this. It's my sense of humor exactly, serious yet hilarious and will probably get you yelled at.
Julia WolfStar Oh yeah, I can tell you firsthand that that's true :(
You make it sound like he's the first to do this lol. Check out George Carlin.
NALM Didn't say he was the first.
bo casually being possessed and breaking into a house is a mood
I love how we've gotten to the point where someone getting possessed is a mood-
how
@@des6247 this is the internet, of course possession is a mood, everything on here is a mood.
Fun fact: The house he's breaking into here is actually the house he lived in until just recently. It's also the very same house from the famous horror film "A Nightmare on Elm Street". Bo filmed "Inside" in the property's guest house as well.

When Bo Burnham quotes T.S Elliot, he’s taking the opening lines from his most famous work: “The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock.” And if you read the poem, it’s impressive how well it works with the message of this song. Good one, Bo.
Yeah I read that poem in English class and all I could think of is Bo Burnham
yes
@@ericroe8342 Weird, I heard this song and all I could think of was English class.
this makes me laugh so much but the fact that it's so accurate is terrifying wow
good job bo!!
Woo! Go Bo!
solardarlings • Especially the Satan stuff
Bo is an absolute genius, I always come back to this version and the live version, and am always taken back by how completely accurate it is.

Scary Narwhal ikr this is the best roast ever
Scary Narwhal I understand you perfectly. I think he was my childhood, but how did I not discover this song before?!
WhileNya 471 how old are you because i think he has been doing comedy for 10 years
super chicken boii I know, and I've been here since I was… 11 or so? I don't know, give two or three years to that. He technically was my teenage years but still. 22 btw

Bo predicted all the teenage drama shows like Riverdale
@@rpgamer4242 omfg underrated comment right here
Man, this is the most high budget Don't Hug Me I'm Scared episode ever! Complete with hidden messages like "THIS IS ALL A SIMULATION"
honestly
Reading the comments about Justin and Selena seeing this live, it makes me think about how this song isn't really even criticizing the artists themselves. It's the agents and the industry who pressure this type of material and it's the corporate greed. "We'll stop beating this dead horse when it stops spitting out money".
i love your eyes and their blueish brownish greenish color
I love that your torso has an arm on either side
HOW DID YOU KNOW
*Cries in albino*
Thank you so much Sara!
How did you know my eyes have three colours???
*This guy is a genius and because he said we shouldn't love superstars I think I'm in love*
he really is a demon
I love how Bo ties real issues with humour
you dont have to talk about real issues to be a comedian....
Bowties
I really like the Thsirt he is wearing in the hooks does anyone know where I can get it? Thanks in advance
Yes well done you've just discovered satire
Then How come he hasent made a comedy act on you?
Or me or ever one else
When he shows the mother’s point of view, it’s a lot like the part in “white womans Instagram” where we hear her talk about how she misses her mom. It paints a perspective that allows us to understand the women rather than demonize her like we would the music industry, or demonize the participant of social media.
i still can’t believe that he eats the vice presidents step daughter’s heart in this
Dude I was just about to comment this lmao
Bo can get any one of us
Omg lol
I think it further tells how bad this gets lmao
I don't get this comment can someone explain
@@SETITOFFNEEDSMOREATTENTION the girl whose heart gets eaten by bo burnham is the step daughter of Kamala Harris, who is our current vice president.

The post-production they did to his mouth when he's about to eat the heart is just subtle enough to be really unnerving
wow...i never actually realised how wide his mouth spread before
I just saw that watching it this time and I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed
I could see him actually doing it, at the beginning of “what.” he shoves his whole hand in his mouth
0:26
“i love your heart and you’re so smart, just GAVE AWAY it.”
he’s talking about how he’ll literally take away their heart. bo is a master lyricist goodbye.

This is such a smartly aware song, not only does it poke fun at the state of the music industry. Capitalising on the low self-esteem of young girls. It's all just consumerism.
There's something much more sincere at the end here.

the fact that from 0:50 it shares the same melody as despacito is quite an example.
shit man
And it came out like 2 years before despacito lol
This came out before despacito...what a coincidence sus
holy shit what the fuck
That’s the irony of what he’s saying. That all songs can be broken down into the same tempos and beats.
I like how he proves a point on how love can be wrong. He also furthers conspiracies. He's genious. Legitimately smart.
CforClyde genius*
Michaellor Sensei thx man. U dat one friend who corrects but is still chill
CforClyde Or that one guy in the internet who corrects every single thing even a small mistake otherwise known as a "Grammar Nazi"
I like on how he's Satan
He’s an example of someone who got everything he could out of high school. He took honors classes and I’m not sure if he was valedictorian but if not probably close. Was accepted to Harvard. He’s clearly smart and well educated.
2:18 is the funniest part about this music video that was added and not in the original version, the demonic “SWAG” at the end is the cherry on top LMAO
Bo really likes the green dots at 4:26. He used them here, on Oh Bo, and on Inside.
Good point

Yes i noticed them too!

He really is a pretty impressive lyricist if you consider it

The irony is strong in this song. Making fun of simpleton lyricism while actually employing some great lyricism from himself. Very impressive.
you should listen to his raps man
You don't even need to consider it to know that he is a really good lyricist
+Spencer Cowan Isn't it ironic?
A cunning linguist as well
The fact that the girl in the bed is Kamala Harris's stepdaughter is WILD
ON GOD?
I can't even comprehend how something can be so beautifully comedic and so terrifyingly truthful all at once. It's like when I watched Monty Python's The Meaning Of Life on mushrooms.
Always stick to the trippy side of life
Why are we here, what's life all about?
Is God really real, or is there some doubt?
Well tonight we're going to sort it all out
For tonight it's the Meaning of Life
What's the point of all this hoax?
Is it the chicken and the egg time, are we just yolks?
Or perhaps we're just one of God's little jokes
Well ca c'est the Meaning of Life
Is life just a game where we make up the rules
While we're searching for something to say
Or are we just simple spiraling coils
Of self-replicating DNA?
What is life? What is our fate?
Is there a Heaven and Hell? Do we reincarnate?
Is mankind evolving or is it too late?
Well tonight here's the Meaning of Life
For millions this life is a sad vale of tears
Sitting round with rien - nothing to say
While scientists say we're just simply spiraling coils
Of self-replicating DNA
So just why, why are we here?
And just what, what, what, what do we fear?
Well ce soir, for a change, it will all be made clear
For this is the Meaning of Life - c'est le sens de la vie -
This is the Meaning of Life
The look from the.mom at about 4:11, when she starts to remember how she was done the same.way in her youth, is pure existinal horror, perfectly captured.
*existential
1:49
That subtle change really gives me goosebumps, this whole video is absolutely brilliant
The girl at 4:34 is Kamala Harris’s step-daughter, Ella Emhoff
