Bo Burnham - Inside: Content & Comedy (First Time Reaction)

[@terrigarrett1701]

One thing to keep in mind, to help you through bo's sorrow - It's okay to laugh. Bo wants you to laugh and found this whole process very therapeutic

[@skyt3265]

exactly bro. it’s supposed to be funny! plus a bunch of other things

[@sanbilge]

"Bo wants to make you feel comfortable". Bo's humor feels much like he is making himself laugh by the absurdity in his head and he's sharing it with us. It's as intimate as it's therapeutic.

[@Kate98755]

laughing and crying make us sane, we’re human, we have to release the stress with both

[@krthompson7519]

“I’m an empath” ohhhh boy this special is going to be rough for you

[@skyt3265]

😂😂

[@achtort]

First time viewer of your channel, and you don't have to provide any specific kind of reactions, we're all just looking for something genuine, and thankfully that's what you gave us, it's relieving to see. If anything, your reaction is drawing out and amplifying the emotion quite a bit, which I'm very comforted by in a way. I hope that you are well. You have a great looking channel.

[@tnae]

I appreciate that. Thank you for your thoughtful and encouraging comment. 🥰

[@dlweiss]

This whole special is the epitome of existential gallows humor - heartbreaking and humorous (sometimes simultaneously). So whatever your empathetic reaction is, that's the correct reaction. Because this whole thing is almost an emotional Rorschach Test, reflecting back our own post-pandemic psyches from surprising new angles. Thanks for sharing your authentic experience of it! :)

[@raisnaix]

I LOVE THAT YOU'RE WATCHING THE WHOLE SPECIAL!! Enjoy the ride.

[@Jacky-sw6jx]

Man, your reaction was perfect. Really, no need to be critical about it at all. It was clearly honest, and I would rather that you experience it than that you try to pull yourself out in order to analyse it. You can always analyse later. Honestly, I think most Bo fans are gratified finding a reaction of someone who feels it too. I love that you're doing it, and this was great. I'm happy that you're going to redo the ones you already did, and I'd love it if you did the whole thing, not just the musical parts. Having said that, I understand the trepidation, and please be kind to yourself. This can really have an emotional impact, don't force it if it is affecting you too much. Take a break if you have to.

[@connorvdl9416]

Don’t let your determination to be empathetic deprive you of the hilarious jokes he makes while he masterfully delivers his profound/silly songs..he’s in a better space nowadays according to him so hopefully that will help you relax a little.

[@TomJones-wx5on]

Bro if you’re feeling the weight of Content and Comedy I’m not sure you’re gunna be ready for the 1, 2 punch of All Eyes On Me and That Funny Feeling back to back. When I first watched the whole special I was floored by the end of those two.

[@SongwritingDeconstructed]

That Funny Feeling has definitely given me a full blown existential crisis at 4am before when I wake up randomly with it in my head

[@SandSlash242]

comedy isn't a depressing song tbh that's how he does comedy even when he used to perform and is a pretty good actor. It was simply sincere and funny!

[@sinswept]

I have had nearly two weeks now of consuming everything about Bo I can find. I have probably watched hundreds of reactions, to be honest, because the Inside special really hit something deep for me and as none of my friends or family are into his work the way I am, I want to share that feeling with someone. I think it is a great thing to share these moments with other people, because this takes up feelings that maybe we shouldn't always sit and stew in alone. I really hope you will post your reactions to the rest of it, but I will say that it is an emotional ride. I'd love to be there with you for it, though.

[@ranahooke1907]

I love seeing your authentic feelings. As an empath, I feel connected to people when they have the same emotional reactions to things as me. It isn’t about me being entertained. It’s about me getting to witness your feelings and feeling less alone in the world as a result. ❤

[@Grunik975]

My sentiments exactly!

[@JohnGunn]

I really appreciate your honesty in how this is hitting you personally. I feel it, too, every time I watch Inside. As much as it's funny in the attacks he makes on our society...man it also hits hard.

[@sandybeach12]

Goodness i didnt even realize but this is exactly what i wanted to see. Just someone truly experiencing the insane emotion you feel throughout this whole special. Honestly im so glad i found this and good luck with the rest of it because its gonna be a rough ride! 👍 keep up the awesome work dude!!

[@bradleystubbs4942]

Bro, one empath to another; anytime I have watched your videos and I see you getting emotional it’s like you’re one step ahead of me. I just wanna offer you a hug.

[@alfraelich]

You're real reactions are the same MANY of us have had. It messed me up for DAYS. It was good to know that I wasn't alone in my feelings and then the millions of others that watched and expressed the same feelings made me feel, normal. Being empathetic is a real fucking drag sometimes.

[@GingerSammey]

The fact that you're checking the whole special is awesome as it carries so much more than individual clips!

[@AgonizingDemise]

Thank you for being so open and honest. I really appreciate it :)

[@sean-in-wnc]

That look of utter indignation, just absolute disbelief, when you can see exactly when you figure it out... Exactly how I felt. Like "how the hell dare you be THAT good." He does that. It's nuts. Dude is an absolute genius in perception and empathy.

[@tersommers]

Love this! We can read your expressive face! That's your reaction for us! Love Bo! Can't wait for more of Inside from you! Thank you!

[@MisterRawgers]

I never considered the term “false start” the way you used it before, and I really love it.

[@Athelas-Corais]

Seeing your face fall into heartbreak felt so real and a mirror of what my face probably showed.

[@unclefoot]

This is so cool!!! Liked and subscribed for this Bo journey you’re going on. Don’t beat yourself up over how you’re “reacting”…you’re feeling the subtext of what is being expressed by Bo. That‘s not boring, it’s a beautiful thing to watch!!! INSIDE is one hell of an emotional journey. Equal parts hilarious, heartbreaking, cathartic, and thought provoking. There’s parts of it that I know are going to be difficult for you…but the end result is so worth it. Can’t wait for the next section!!! Be kind to yourself, Cheers!

[@sanbilge]

I felt the same while watching. We clicked to watch you react honestly and that's what we are doing. Not boring at all; it's actually refreshing.

[@DonnaPoynton.]

Bo is a Genius,Thank you

[@pastafarians]

You're probably going to find this hard, but I guarantee you'll love it.

[@wendycohen9038]

What I got from this is what a sweet, good man you are. And I get the same feelings from Bo. Thanks.

[@IntrovertGoneAWOL]

Your authenticity shines through in your reactions. I'm relieved that you're genuine about it, even if you feel it isn't necessarily what people would like to see. I love to see it. It's nice to feel less alone in my -own- reactions to the special. The fact that you're not just forcing out laughter and making disingenuous commentary is what makes this video impactful and great. I love your honest and raw reaction to this. You've got a new subscriber from this series alone and I can't wait to see what else you've created.

[@Sam_371]

The song Comedy is obviously heavily ironic and silly but unironically the entire Inside special is incredibly catharic and important so he really was helping us (and hopefully himself) heal using comedy.

[@iikilledkenny6508]

There are hundreds of videos laughing at his goofiness, this is the first one to recognize the other side of it all.

[@rollingtwenty2266]

Bo Burnham is a literal genius

[@ed4348]

Comedy can be a sword, a shield and medicine

[@fleurymarc]

Re: "I hope he's okay now, because he was most certainly struggling at the time." Hey, man -- I was thinking the same thing for you while watching this. Sorry for any rough patches you might have been through, and I hope you're good. For me, this special helped, but I can imagine it wouldn't for everyone. I watched it a couple dozen times when it first came out, and it's an emotional rollercoaster.

[@Jenn-rv3qs]

❤❤❤❤ yay!!! I’m so excited that you’re back on Bo!!!

[@Akirilus]

You know, now that I think about it, Comedy is a bit of a parody song to how we all seem to think we know better but, well, we don't really know better, we just really, really think we do.

[@iikilledkenny6508]

If you don't at least tear up during the inside special, you may need to talk to someone.

[@RandiPie71]

I subscribed for this! Thank you! 💕

[@ericka_akcire2193]

The conflict between depression and hilarity is the good part! This special forces you into standing in the center of the cognitive dissonance modern society requires of us. To stand in the center and laugh at the damage it’s causing all around us. It’s just a blip before the eye of the storm passes over and the special ends and we have to go back into the thick of things. Only hopefully this time we have perspective.

[@TitanSummers]

Thank god I'm not the only one. The visual and the music are polar oppisits. Then you have to take in what he actually says.

[@Zaymont720]

Are you watching the entire special or just the songs? Cause the whole special adds way more impact leading into the songs.

[@tnae]

Yes. I am. I have watched about half of it but I ran out of time. I'll be watching the next half all at one time hopefully sometime this week. :)

[@mamatv7121]

I can’t wait to see the rest of Inside, and other Bo content! Getting a sub for this one (from one empath to another- good luck.)

[@ariel5876]

Yees! Keep reacting to Inside please, it is trully a journey of laughter and tears hope you enjoy it!!

[@dauntingbutthereyougo6910]

Please try to do the parts in between the songs, they bring so much more meaning

[@nutmeg418]

At the end of this special I googled "Is Bo Burnham--" ... And the first thing that came up (and what I intended to search) was "Is Bo Burnham ok?"

[@emilybarner3440]

Really enjoyed this, wished you had the rest of the reaction available as well. :) Thank you for sharing!

[@tnae]

I am struggling but working on it.

[@stevenjustice4699]

Reacting to "inside" is less about reacting to Bo and more about using him as an introspective to yourself while laughing at chicken crossing the road jokes lol

[@quinncampbell9255]

Also understand this is all a charater and show for him. Ya he deals with mental health like a normal human, but he plays it up more for his comedy.

[@MrSlothJunior]

If these songs are hitting you this hard, I fear the rest isn't good for you. There are songs and monologues that are A LOT heavier than this. ... Please don't hate that the comedian made you laugh. The themes are rough and there is definitely real pain and frustration behind a lot of it, but there is also a lot of comedy, and you are more than allowed to laugh at his jokes. As you said: Be kind to yourself. ^^

[@rebeccageorgesisto8965]

Truly enjoyed your reaction to my favorite “comedy” special

[@tnae]

I'm glad!

[@SurelyLocksHolme]

Aw, I so appreciate your heart❣️I’m very empathic also so I was also concerned about him but I think as others have said, he was both conveying humour as well as enlightening people I think..

[@kirstycoetzee7662]

I felt uncomfortable about the entire way through all three songs 😳 Your genuine concern is very sweet. The sorrow here is so real.

[@CharlieRich372]

Hey, brother. I'm a combat vet, and to see you feel what bo feels is a relief👍 More people need to let go, have fun, enjoy things for what they are and can't control. Great reaction, bud; and good things to you and yours 🤙

[@skyt3265]

Please ignore me if you’re not looking for constructive criticism, but I think your videos are great and would be even better if when you faded to your reaction and it zooms in (that’s cool) the audio didn’t change.

[@christianclark9494]

the scene transitions my lord....

[@jaceeaster2246]

Yes!! Another inside reaction!!

[@joelcarver8932]

the heaviness shouldn't be something you want to change, what makes it good is the real...the realness is the important part. Bo in a way allows us to grow with him.If you've followed him from teenage bow you probably did anyway. But if you're going down the bo rabbit hole understandit's a journey

[@hyper426]

First time I watched this was soon after it came out, and I might have been imbibing a bit. I just remember texting my other neurodivergent friend and being "Is Bo okay???!!!" and then a bit later: "Am I okay??!!" and finally: "I AM NOT OKAY!!!"

[@bobbygriffith3225]

That’s the point man ❤️

[@jrod1591]

Me too brother

[@GoJojo-lv6zi]

You seem kind. I know you posted this 7 months ago, but I hope you’re doing well.

[@tnae]

Thank you 😊. I’m getting through.

[@mikgoogs]

Just a bit of constructive feedback from a viewers standpoint. The zoom ins on your face while the music fades out should be done when you’re actually reacting haha. Don’t quiet Bo just so we can see your face not changing, bigger. His comedy takes a while, once it clicks you’ll appreciate it vastly.

[@JeansXoX]

are you doing the whole special? and is it or will it be on Patreon??

[@smo__flor6568]

You are going to have a rough time with the final (goodbye) of the inside series 😅

[@christih6014]

the sound gets SO BAD when you zoom in

[@petrtiler645]

Plis tiler petr Jonovy ❤️🌹

[@michaelmcgee7683]

I love that you are doing this and enjoyed this reaction so much, but don’t feel obligated to continue if it is affecting you so much. We care about your health much more than “content”.

[@Itsant33]

Why isn't my guy laughing at all the jokes?

[@skyt3265]

Whats your schedule like for these? super spread out 💩?

[@LeeannG]

The Sandra bullock in the blindside has aged perfectly for Bo, not so great for those involved in the actual movie..

[@tnae]

Haha I didn’t even think about that

[@ssrrss321]

I enjoy all of your reactions, but I have to say that the zoomed in close-ups while making the audio hurt my ears is less than ideal. I love the close ups because I can tell you're feeling it and I love to see that side of a reaction video, but the audio change is awful to my ears during those close-ups. I wanna watch and hear you react genuinely, not overhear it on an old-timey telephone.

[@tnae]

Well it was either that or I could’ve cut it up and just cut those parts out. Which would you prefer?

[@pancakejack5196]

@@tnae I think it would help to moderate the treble in those parts so it’s less high-pitched and it doesn’t pierce the ears as much (love the reaction btw I’d suggest reacting to Joji sometime)

[@Charsept]

The rest of the special is heavier. Good luck. 😅

[@gabbie25]

it is supposed to be funny, for the most part. he's making fun of himself. but i mean, i don't blame you at all if you feel emotional.

[@loriepecinasadler1413]

💕👍

[@arinleoczko1250]

Comedy, drama, tragedy, horror. This special is barely even a special, it's more like watching a man go insane while trying to entertain people. It has everything and I highly recommend it to anyone struggling with mental or emotional health. It's like a reset button for your soul.

[@Bleoberis1]

I hope you’re in therapy.

[@nancyandrews8945]

Hi sorry but I'm going to ask here..don't treat this song as a Christmas song but instead a lesson in voice and vocal tones control along with harmony plus whistle notes and wavering echoing runs I'm sure many adult performers wish they could do this..since working with Cheryl Porter vocal coach... a review would be appreciated.. so here is ANGELICA HALE this past Xmas doing WHITE CHRISTMAS 14yr just turn 15yrs old a few months before see below to view video kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJjFg4Vuqd6Ye8k

[@nancyandrews8945]

Hope you will react her vocals are really awesome since working with Cheryl Porter

[@nancyandrews8945]

Her vocals are fantastic after working with Cheryl Porter
