you know inside is a masterpiece when the outtakes slap

[@kylebrewer99]

absolutely

And then the album which contain songs not included in the outtakes also slaps

[@danperkins4781]

Bo has specifically said at live concerts that the concept of this song is “what drake songs would be if he dated people longer than 2 weeks”. That’s not the exact quote but close. It’s pretty hilarious. And no disrespect to drake, this song BOPS

[@HopeGardner3amed]

He has played this at concerts? Wait is he on tour? I checked he is not on tour.

[@rainbau3352]

@@HopeGardner3amed he has had and performed this song for quite a long time. theres an old clip i saw of him performing it, and it was from back when he did concerts fairly frequently.

The best part about the spider verse is how on the surface it's about her being a 'bad feminist' but on the deeper level it's about him jumping onto anything he can think of to get her to handle the spider instead of him. It's so insincere and i love it.

[@snowapeyt]

Love your vids man! You're the only reactor that I've found that actually attempts to interpret, explain and ask questions about what you're watching, as opposed to the usual pause a couple times and make a 3 second comment or two. This is how to use the fair use laws correctly. You deserve wayyy more views on your vids, especially compared to the other reactors. Welcome back :D

[@reactwatcher]

haha to each their own. no knock on chris, but i skip through all his talking. i’m here for reaction. not analysis. i just wanna hear someone say wow this is great and have fun facial expressions

[@ChrisReactsToThings]

Greatly appreciate that, man!

[@ChrisReactsToThings]

Totally get it! There’s something for everyone. I will say I plan on moving on from Bo after these outtakes and focus more on music and that should have less analyzing depending on the music!

[@Savage-zo5ww]

@Scott Kinne haha to each their own. no knocks on you, but I just skipped through all your comment to say that this is @chrisreacts. Go to another channel.

[@skatersfan]

I actually posted kinda this same thing on the bo subreddit. I think Chris is the most insightful out of all the hundreds of reactors I've seen haha. Most people seemed to agree with me about it too

[@marklawrence6226]

i kinda like to think that the entire voicemail from the start of "Five Years" kind of just sums the song up to what it really is, its like a song being in a relationship and then you have these sometimes small but heated moments of both of them arguing about something small and start juist fighting for whatever reason and sometimes being annoyed at eachother. Like at the beginning he was just asking her a favor to send him back the voice mail, but after that he starts to just say just do it, i dont have to be the one to do everything, and then becomes a bit of an arguement, but he just cools down and says i love you. And it just reflects the whole song from thta voicemail. I dont know if im right but thats what i got from that. But Bo's creativity for music and comedy still nails everytime

[@CraftIP]

this is probably the best reaction channel for bo burnham videos no kidding your analysis, reactions and handle of the flow are perfect

Don’t apologise for pausing, we watch your videos to hear what you have to say about the songs/skits 🙂

[@ameliakinsolving4543]

I love this song, and I think you’re right that it didn’t make the cut because it doesn’t fit the Inside Vibe. But he is Ina long term relationship so I think this is some old school Bo poking fun at cohabitation.

[@ISavant]

I don't know how he didn't go insane just from the downlights directly above the ceiling fan. that flickering would drive me crazy re: the spider thing, if a girlfriend asked me to deal with a spider, I'd be like fine no worries, but if she said "be a man" you're damn right I'm pointing out her hypocrisy if she's the type to (rightly, I might add) resist traditional gender norms.

[@mr.stuffdoer8483]

FR how is “be a man” not a phrase that’s universally considered toxic at this point

[@jeanettecookmeyer4526]

I feel like Bo intentionally made his character in "5 years" kind of a d-bag. Like everything is about him, starting with the voicemail. Hes only doing it for himself. For their anniversary writes an entire song complaining about his partner. With the sharing food bit, he gets petty and says you owe me a dumpling. With the spider bit, he goes off on her for saying "be a man"... when yeah, it is technically not an ideal phrase to constantly be using, but it's so minute assuming that she usually practices what she preaches in her beliefs. And the last one is petty as well. Hes telling her "just use the guest room bathroom"... why cant he is the guest room bathroom? This was just kinda my interpretation. We all know Bo doesnt have a problem playing a bad guy in his songs lol. But it could also just be a song about everyday, mundane fights.

[@carafry4606]

I love the way you analyze not just the music but the videotography. I think you would do good at analyzing music videos of comedians (Weird Al, Little Dicky, ...) or rappers with "bars" where there is a meaning behind it (Eminem, Kendrick, ...) But your analysis of the videos behind the music is spot on (drake theme) and I wanna see more of that.

Hey Chris! Fun fact: if you want to skip frame-by-frame on youtube videos, you can use the ',' and '.' keys ('') to go one frame back and forward, respectively. Helps with trying to catch Bo's quick-frames.

[@LucasBNagy]

best type of reaction/comments/etc on something like this i've seen. really enjoyed it, the pauses aren't bad

[@TheHollyhail]

Love that you're willing to look at it so carefully but I'm pretty sure the 'everyone's a feminist until there is a spider around' thing is satire. Like as if women can't pull a cheeky thing to get out of dealing with a spider what with everything else they have to deal with? And men thinking that them being asked to deal with a spider is going to bring the movement down? Obvs I could be wrong but it seems that way 2 me

[@ChrisReactsToThings]

Could totally see this being the case. The beauty of Bo’s work

[@richpokemon]

Using “Be a man” card is bringing “anti sexist” movement down.

[@bensommer660]

@@ChrisReactsToThings I don't think that people necessarily should or shouldn't. I enjoy "reaction videos" if they can teach me something I hadn't noticed myself. More importantly, I just think this just shows how on the nose Bo is about the internet. There's constant conversation, and everyone feels like their opinion needs to be shared all of the time. (Even me here in the comment section.) To Bo's question, "Can anyone single one shut up about anything?" I really wish we (especially me) could get off the internet more, and not always need to speak my mind, but it's hard. Thanks for the reply Chris!

[@bhelliom3]

[@AnimalSpirits100]

Oooof, Chris I’ve recently started watching your Reacts to Bo’s vids. You usually have the best, most insightful, and thoughtful commentary than any other KZbin channel. However, I think you really missed the mark on this one. Yes, it was a parody of a Drake-like song or similar hip-hop/pop relationship type “hits”. But, it seems very obvious from the start that Bo was highlighting that the “Man” in the relationship think he is very suave and lovey-dovey, but his actions he describes are extremely douchey, and selfish behavior. From the start, with the voicemail message, asking her to do a favor, while belittling her. To being a selfish baby, with his Chinese food. Who acts like that! When getting Chinese takeout, they give you a shit ton of food, and you usually share apps and entrees? Then the spider… what a pussy, jumping up on a coffee table over a spider. Although he describes himself as a being agile. Bo was mocking him, and showing what a dick he is for using such a trivial incident to lash out at her and completely attack all of her feminist beliefs. Almost all of these type pop songs have this trope of professing love and devotion, but they obliviously describe how shitty they act towards their partner.

One thing I am SOOOO glad he didn't include into the final were the ads or the weird pop-ups during the outtakes ... That would have pulled me straight out of the INSIDE special ... It would have killed all types of emotional investment I had into Bo as a character going through the pandemic.

I agree they were a little jarring. Some are funny but it takes the attention away. Still wondering what exactly he was trying to achieve with them. I talk about it a bit later in the outtakes.

[@krisdoesart9643]

I think he added those because the outtakes were on KZbin so he was poking fun at the medium a little bit, how people will have monetization on during really serious videos and totally break the mood/authenticity, I don't think he ever really intended them to make the final Netflix cut

[@camdiggity3506]

im sorry dude but this is a terrible reaction/review, you just repeated the bits, you didnt leave personal interpretation and you just repeated yourself. Its not Controlla.

[@Gorbinex]

I feel like you're missing the forest for the trees on this one. The song's meant to portray an unhealthy/toxic relationship thats gone on longer than either person really wants. Each of the situations aren't about the literal context of the fight, its about the guys internal resentment of his girlfriend and these situations are just meant to show how that bleeds into their everyday lives. He's a selfish jerk, who uses and puts down his partner. I've had a fair few family members in toxic relationships like this and he portrays it with a scary accuracy.
