I don't think the movie is what did it for him, its getting out of the big spotlights and doing things that he wants and not things that are expected of him.
He was/is much better off then most people feeling an existential crisis in life. Because he can articulate how he feels. Some people don't know how/why they feel the way they do. Which is probably why this song is so important in my eyes.
Maybe I’m looking too deep into it but one thing I’ve noticed is that Bo has always had trouble ending songs. Usually ends funny songs by slamming his hands against the piano or just screaming. However the end of this song wasn’t complete it was that last note that set it apart. It felt incomplete a lot like bo. He is grateful for all he has and his success but he still doesn’t feel satisfied or happy with it. He can picture his own happy ending which is why all of his songs don’t really have one.
I look too deep into his songs all the time, and I love this analysis. Never viewed it that way, but yeah, so many weirdly ending songs. Words words words and Don’t Wanna Know come to me first for some reason as examples.
Dude, but this analysis can be traced back to his ORIGINAL TH-cam songs too. He's made jokes about how he doesnt know how to end songs... and he's talked about dealing with Anxiety since high school... welp there goes my heart
My favorite example of this is “Goodbye” from Inside. The song starts formulaic (verse, chorus, verse, chorus), but goes into a bridge (a little bit of everything all of the time) which then goes into another bridge (call me up and tell me a joke), and gets interrupted by the heavenly voices which ends the song.
He didn’t do this at the show when I saw him in November of 2015. When I eventually saw the special on Netflix I was surprised to see one last song played, this song. Lemme tell ya, nothing on that streaming service ever made me cry as much as this song did.
I don’t know if he did it live at all, actually. I remember the night it dropped on Netflix a bombardment of people were tweeting him “Are You Happy?” and a few people that saw it on tour started freaking out that something happened or something and were asking why people were tweeting him. They apparently had never heard the song because he didn’t play it at their respective shows. It’s shot so well and it’s like the best ending i’ve seen to a comedy special. Only prodigy Bo Burnham could achieve that.
Now the show is done I hope that you had gut-trembling or something resembling fun And if you watch this thing alone You probably didn't laugh, but maybe a few times you exhaled out of your nose But if you hated it, that's fair But either way, could you find a little more time for a parting questionnaire? 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?
I listen to this and Can't Handle This, and I don't understand why so many people were shocked by Inside. I don't feel like enough people really listened to his songs like this. The signs were there, people just didn't pay enough attention to them.
the song always seems like something a teen just about to graduate would sing at a "end-of-the-year-talent-show!" it just makes me feel like a teen is so done and sad about what they wasted doing in highschool so they specifically ask to do their talent last just to get the "it's really over from here" vibes. maybe I have something to look forward to doing in highschool after all
Listened to this on repeat for the last hour. My best friend in the world committed suicide and I needed to cry. Godsdamn but thank you Bo for this masterpiece. I wouldnt have gotten through this week without this.
He's not happy. He's not happy with comedy. That's why he quit. We didn't throw him to the curb, hopefully we never will, because he still entertains us, he did this for himself, and to himself. Man, I wish he would come back.

I worry about this kid.
I hope so too. He does seem happier since his movie did well

@@kylerisepicsauce this didnt age well
❤ i as well friend , he's an incredible person
“Oh god my dad was right”
I’m crying
Hannah Idk the subtitle make this song even better
a comedy special that made me ugly cry? only bo burnham, dude.
Tim Minchin, white wine in the sun. Enough said.
how did u feel about inside then lmao
Even four years later, I cry when I hear this.
Jesus Christ has it been that long? Having my own crisis now
Same dude, same
Hes 30 but yh same
To think this was his final song for 5 years.
And then, the funniest thing happened.
How did he perform this without breaking down into tears? I cry every time
Well he didn't preform this on stage. And also he did take theatre
right after his make happy performance he cried immediately after leaving the stage :(
Maybe I’m looking too deep into it but one thing I’ve noticed is that Bo has always had trouble ending songs. Usually ends funny songs by slamming his hands against the piano or just screaming.

Reminds of me of NF a bit

The ending is cut off on this
He didn’t do this at the show when I saw him in November of 2015. When I eventually saw the special on Netflix I was surprised to see one last song played, this song.

Watch bojack

@@punyparkerr You are... so right.
At 1:33 I love how he says happy, it sounds so freaking awesome, he is the best
My god I couldnt agree more I thought i was the only one your comment deserves more likes
I cry at the "look Ma I made it" part. I'm sorry I didn't make it Ma.
You still have a chance
Don't worry man, trying is good even if you didn't make it try help the new generation get there not for your sake but for theirs
@ThatGuy53297 hope you made it 4 years later buddy
And to think that after all that time he was doing better.
Then the funniest thing happened.
I don't think Bo will ever see this but he makes me get Happy
‘you’re everything you hated, are you happy?’
oh god that hit very hard considering his circumstances
Now the show is done
I hope that you had gut-trembling or something resembling fun
And if you watch this thing alone
You probably didn't laugh, but maybe a few times you exhaled out of your nose
But if you hated it, that's fair
But either way, could you find a little more time for a parting questionnaire?
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?

N. . . No bo no one is happy
especially not given the current situation
I’m happy
I listen to this and Can't Handle This, and I don't understand why so many people were shocked by Inside. I don't feel like enough people really listened to his songs like this. The signs were there, people just didn't pay enough attention to them.
Exactly!!! He literally said-
"You can tell them anything if
You just make it funny, make it rhyme"
Strangely.... this gives me peace
No other song makes me feel as sad and empty as this and i have to applaud bo for this
All I want is for you to be happy Bo. We love you.
This makes me want to be the performer I know I have inside of me. Crushed by debt and depression.
the song always seems like something a teen just about to graduate would sing at a "end-of-the-year-talent-show!"
it just makes me feel like a teen is so done and sad about what they wasted doing in highschool so they specifically ask to do their talent last just to get the "it's really over from here" vibes.
maybe I have something to look forward to doing in highschool after all
This guy should get an award for being a living dictionary.
I just finished watching this on netflix and I'm still ugly crying
Bo literally puts his whole heart into these ending songs
Goodbye from Inside and now this (and these 2 songs make me cry too)
Did you do it?
Yes.
What was the cost?
Everything
Tbh don’t really know this quote
Misah Edwards Thanos from the avengers
Listened to this on repeat for the last hour. My best friend in the world committed suicide and I needed to cry. Godsdamn but thank you Bo for this masterpiece. I wouldnt have gotten through this week without this.
They think it dont be like that but really...it do
Great song. Makes me tear up every time.
"What the fuck kinda question is am I happy?" Best line
I am listening to this in the halls of my high school. I’ve never felt so understood, and so hated at the same time.
crying in the club
I’ve only recently got into him and I watched inside before I watched make happy so this broke my heart. I hope he’s okay -_-
Major impact.
HE IS COMING BACK, THIS IS NOT A DRILL
:)
And it was awesome
this is a very 'inside' track my feelz
I shouldn’t have whatched this. I’m just sad now
Well... shit, man
no, bo, i'm fucking miserable
we all are, that's all everyone has in common now. but i hope that someday you'll be happy.
Hey look ma, I made it....
He's not happy. He's not happy with comedy. That's why he quit. We didn't throw him to the curb, hopefully we never will, because he still entertains us, he did this for himself, and to himself.
Man, I wish he would come back.
Boy do I have good news for you
@@c0wb0ycat13 Yeah, I just found out two days ago.
@@pockystick8630 I just hope this is good and he’s happy making it
@@c0wb0ycat13 Thats exactly what I was thinking actually
