Bo Burnham - All Eyes On Me (REACTION!!) | This Is Incredible

[@KurtisB]

Hope you guys enjoy this reaction! If you do, please hit the LIKE button for me. 🙏🏻

[@ISavant]

i've been genuinely surprised at thee number of reactors who were like "what's the punchline" after "and then, the funniest thing happened" and i'm like damn it must be nice to be able to forget the literal global pandemic.

[@KurtisB]

Have people really not been getting that part? Lol. That's crazy.

[@Hey_Jamie]

@@KurtisB no! So many people don’t put it together!

[@ISavant]

@@KurtisB i've seen it a couple of times and i'm like holy shit lmao.

[@sabrinarosario6499]

I too want to live in that bubble.

[@Brenden-H]

I think its because of the fact that he mentioned that the time was January 2020 and then said some other stuff before the line "then the funniest thing happened." During that gap between the setup and the punchline people forgot the the setup of it being January 2020. But honestly this isn't an excuse because I think the punchline should already be obvious using context clues the moment he said "so much better infact, that in January of... 2020". If you cant use context clues to figure out what the message is right at that moment there is a good chance that the "then the funniest thing happened" line would go over your head.

[@charlesrumbaugh3668]

Might as well do his other specials final act now too “We Think We Know You”, it’s absolutely genius

[@impatientarc2203]

2:26 the way you immediately stopped bopping your head 💀

[@TheAlibabatree]

I interpreted it the same way. “Get your hands up” is him being the performer/entertainer. “Heads down, pray for me” is him being honest and vulnerable.

[@pedroquedas8369]

You mean vulnerable, right? Because otherwise it drastically changes the point of your comment ;)

[@TheAlibabatree]

@@pedroquedas8369 Of course

[@dmixdup]

Also craving the attention of the crowd while simultaneously mocking people who will do whatever the performer says.

[@Lb_Collects]

Nah i see it differently - Firstly, him craving attention as a performer but also mocking those who worship the ground he walks on as he has said before that he suffers from Imposter Syndrome. Dudes so self aware its detrimental to his mental state. Genius Human being.

[@Schmidhead516]

Old Bo fans have known that he’s deep for a while. He’s so deep, he’s #deep

[@Brenden-H]

And that he has an allergy to shellfish ;)

[@peterlewis2178]

It's kind of ironic, because on the surface that song seems like just a silly song, and pretty much everyone who saw it at the time thought of it as such, but going back after the context that Make Happy and Inside give about Bo, it's actually pretty tragic. It feels like he's singing about expressing his pain and having no one understand or hear it, all while everyone around him is just laughing and not taking it seriously. Which I think was intentional.

[@HighTyGC]

You know this is like the hundredth guy I've watch react to Bo Burnham! Not a complaint because I love watching everyone watch the genius of Bo but I've realized these people who react to his videos will never get the same experience as Bo Burnham fans who have watched him from the beginning. Getting to know him and his style of comedy in What. The evolution of Bo Burnham and his comedy and how hard it hit after Make Happy thinking he was never gonna preform again and then he comes back and it is just an emotional Rollercoaster and I love it. Love your reaction, please do the rest. It's so refreshing to watch someone understand when bo is being serious and when its funny. Some reactors laugh at serious parts because they don't have the connection between the shows and haven't fully experienced Bo Burnhams shows and what they mean. Love your reaction again and glad you picked up on his mental state!

[@smartcookie493]

Right before this song in the special, he was sitting by himself and he says I am not well then he uncontrollably SOBS That was when I lost it.

[@becksimilian2955]

After he finishes his monologue in the middle the projection on the wall goes from full battery to empty...

[@Brooke-rw8rc]

"The funniest thing happened". His illness is calling him back. He got inside.

[@ashash1338]

@@Brooke-rw8rc yup "the funnest thing happened" hence quarantine and him going back into his depressive state

[@JonBrett]

Man, this song and “Goodbye” hit HARD! I didn’t expect Inside to turn out how it did, but it was SO GOOD!

[@Hey_Jamie]

Also, he used all practical lighting. No special effects. Every bit of lighting and projection you see is all practical. As in, done right there in the moment not added later in editing

[@calcramer]

But how did he project video of himself (behind him, on the wall) in real time, coming from a different camera angle? What was added in editing was very effective use of digital zoom ins and outs-giving movement to an otherwise stationary setup.

[@sharpcircle]

Finding someone that actually gets this in react videos is like trying to find a straight man that likes the spice girls. Kudos mate, great vid

[@CharlieRich372]

You noticed what he was trying to convey.. his whole being went into how he felt in total as far as feeling isolated... he gave you a glimpse of how he actually saw the world and for most people; it went overhead. But that's OK because he wants people to know that struggle... AND make sure they don't feel that same struggle.. bo is a true inspiration and so amazing..cudos

[@RareHarmony]

Hello from Space. Keep up the Bo reactions!

[@barbarafrazier3242]

This entire special is a pure masterpiece! Honestly one of the best things I’ve ever seen by any comedian ever! He’s a genius❤️❤️

[@Mahathemime89]

the sad part of this song is that he walked away to get his mental hangups in order... and he was in a good place to come back in jan 2020... which is when he started "INSIDE"... by this time in the special, he has mentally deteriorated and is literally insane to the point that he hears people clapping...

[@bulletfastspeed]

Yeah, you gotta rewatch and pay attention to what he says during the special lol. Trust, he didn't get better. The pandemic messed him up even more than the 5 years before. Don't even record yourself doing rewatch, you'll enjoy it a lot more if u just give it time without recording yourself. He even has a line about if people are even paying attention or if it's just on in the background.

[@dixienoble8872]

more, more new sub here 70 years old Bo Bo's oldest fangirl

[@ProMikeyHD]

The amount of reactors that have reacted to this special is hilarious. It’s as if they forgot he had a 7 minute bit roasting the hell out of them

[@godzillaeyes]

I get your point, but I think that bit is more about anxious overanalysis of self, more than about reaction videos.

[@Rawgaming32]

fun fact. Bo won a grammy for this song

[@lewismaddox4132]

It's beautiful, extremely poignant and heart wrenching. Can you hear the note of lament in his voice? He misses the very thing that was the catalyst of his anxiety. He's playing out, in his room, the very thing that caused his panic attacks yet what he'd geared himself up to welcome back. Remember what he said, "Part of me needs you, part of me fears you,"? There was a tv series in the late 1900's called "Cheers". The theme song went, "Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name." Now he's singing, "We're going to go where everybody, knows everybody." Who is everybody? Look in the mirror. He's not talking about a bar where you can go in and the room yells, "Norm". Ted Dansen and Woody Harrelson aren't waiting to make you a drink. This was recorded after he had decided to come out of exile and then was mandated to return to. When you are nearly suicidal in your anxiety, frustrated because you felt confidence in the mental health progress you had made and then stymied in gauging that progress, climate change falls waaaay down on your priority list.

[@Katy-sh3ru]

Duuude, you're the only other person I've seen make that connection with the Cheers theme ❤️ The other song that refrain reminds me of is Leonard Cohen 'Everybody Knows' - as in the second iteration he ends on "everybody knows" I think the tone of LC's song fits. "Everybody knows that the dice are loaded, everybody knows that the good guys lost" And although I agree with you that in this certain frame of mind, climate change falls down the list, in other of his songs it's obvious that climate change can also be one of the sources of his anxiety too, like in 'That Funny Feeling'

[@lewismaddox4132]

@@Katy-sh3ru I agree with that for the most part. When he sings about his apathy for climate change it may just be in the moment, or it may be just for effect. Like your Cohen reference. I do know he's always thinking. Part of his genius is his relentless brain, which is probably a curse to some extent. There's a reason why creative genius so often go to creative graves. That active a mind always swings to empathy and the easily witnessed suffering in the world. I hope he continues to work through it. His art seems to be a great tonic.

[@Katy-sh3ru]

@@lewismaddox4132 it does. That bit in Inside where he's playing himself as a computer game and he seems to be a lot happier when playing the piano. Though it obviously also has it's torments. His art sure is a tonic to a lot of others, too. My mind is also always going, but sadly I find it very difficult to actually create much. Maybe that will change in time. I hope so.

[@chrisharper7684]

Bo is such a talent, unbelievable musician on top of a comedian 👏

[@calcramer]

I don’t think “*hands* down” is part of the lyric; it’s “*heads* down” both times

[@dandymcgee]

I quit my job a month before the pandemic started to take some time off for myself. I can relate to Bo so much in that moment.

[@zintrof]

It's insane to think about how this special was recorded during COVID-19, while you were making food and watching TikTok's, Bo Burnham was working on this special.

[@KurtisB]

Well, I never used TikTok and I was working through most of the pandemic lol. But I get your point.

[@mop9785]

Sorta his job lol most people that can work from home worked. I mean nobody made a masterpiece like this but I was animating for hours it was hell lola

[@nicolehamad3791]

He filmed this in his guest house.

[@cavichan5709]

Kindly react to Left Brain Right Brain of burnham next 🎉🎉 i wouldnt want to spoil you on whats in it but I guarantee you its a wholesome one

[@factualprod8758]

respect for being hinest ab watching it. real one

[@etherealswordsman3214]

I have a few ideas for songs worth reacting to. Dunno if you've heard any of these, but they're from many different sources, and i suspect you'll like most of them. Just based on what i've seen you reacting to. The Light by Disturbed (recommend the official music video here) Through The Fire And The Flames by Dragon Force (Epic Guitar Solos!) Rivers in the Desert from Persona 5 (also recommend the game if you can find 80 hours to spare, though play Persona 5 Royal if you decide to.) From God's Perspective by Bo Burnham (To keep on topic)

[@michaelmccann2966]

Cool to see a clamper on here doing reviews!

[@KurtisB]

Satisfactory! 💪🏼

[@rodentsofrandomness9203]

I don’t have Netflix but god that and welcome to the internet are panic attacks in songs I swear.

[@ThrillhoWiggum]

If you like rap, listen to Words Words Words. The puns and paraprosdokians are untouchable.

[@blakegiles78]

Sad thing is that many people can't afford to step away for such a significant period of time (even 6 months let alone 5 years) to work on their mental health. I'm glad he was able to, just hard for an average person.

[@KurtisB]

Right? Having a comfortable amount of wealth goes a long way.

Please put your music on spotify that intro fucking bangs

Hi Kurtis i´m from El Salvador. I like your reaction to many good songs. I like you tried with this song. Ugly Kid Joe. Song: Cats In The Cradle. Byeeee

Do a cotton eye joe reaction video 😆

[@alg0rmortis]

Do his performance We Think We Know You

[@Crocogator]

"We're going to go where everybody knows." Ugh.

[@saelfaer]

how? how do you say you have seen 'INSIDE" and not know he stopped performing 5 years ago... he litterally says it in the show, (in this song even) ...

[@KurtisB]

How? How do you not even pay attention to when I explain that I've seen the special but didn't pay enough attention to the details as I should have? I literally say it in this video even.

[@saelfaer]

@@KurtisB well, my question still stands, how do you watch something and not pay attention. this content sucks you in, you cannot just watch it 'on the side' then you just haven't seen it.

[@KurtisB]

@@saelfaer Dude lol. 9:38 Watch my video and THEN ask questions. I answered this before you even asked it.

[@PurpleTurtle1337]

He is saying hands up and heads down and pray for him like he is a god, its for hes attention addiction and mental illness

[@Amulacra]

His eyes are... empty. Tired. Those are the eyes of someone who isnt sure why they are even trying anymore. The sounds of the audience is almost... sadistic. Like he views them as a swarm of hungry animals that will devour him whole if he doesnt please them.

[@Hey_Jamie]

Quick unrelated question - I’ve been trying to figure out wtf is going on in the photo on the canvas behind you. Is that your wife and someone else dragging you by your feet at the wedding? LOL

[@KurtisB]

🤣 My wife and goddaughter dragging Michael Myers (me) for a Halloween photo shoot. All the pictures are on my Instagram if you wanna check them out. 🙂

[@jamuswaldrop3559]

Need to react to Shamans Harvest song Dragonfly

[@Ahstronautical]

What's the name of the song used in the intro??

[@KurtisB]

Best Like Me. The link to it is in the description. 🙌🏼

[@andrew348]

If you have already seen the video it's not a reaction it's a review.

[@KurtisB]

It's still a reaction lol. It's a reaction to me watching it for the second time but paying closer attention to it (as I explain in the video).

[@Zanroff]

Preceding something with "you want to hear a joke" doesn't mean that the following is a joke. I don't think Bo considers the audience intelligent. That's why he adds the laugh track into a story that isn't funny. The fake audience thinks it's funny because Bo said it's going to be a joke. I think his Kanye Rant video was him expressing disrespect for them. To him, they are mindless.

[@-Rambi-]

Its heads down, not hands down. Then how to interpret that is up to each listener but I see it as worship. "Hands up in the air, heads down, and pray for me." Personally, I think that the second part is supposed to artistically show his panic attack with lyrics from his darker inner.
