Bo Burnham - Reaction - Kill Yourself | Bo Burnham's Problem Solving Song

[@Piktro]

I love the subtle digs on Katy Perry, especially after his “Welcome to KZbin” performance where she hit on him on stage, and he basically just ignored her 😂

[@js01141]

That was amazing, "thank you, MRS. Perry"

[@needlessnoise]

idk if subtle is the word I'd use personally lmao

[@RS-fy9hb]

@@needlessnoise Yeah, if he mentions her or her songs by name, I can't really agree that they're subtle xD. Do love them though.

This song was actually the final push for me to accept once and for all that therapy was a good idea and I booked an appointment after having it stuck in my head for weeks. In a way he did for me what he was making fun of. 🤣

[@domc2452]

Well done dude, wishing you all the best

[@LeannahW]

In a similar fashion, when my brain goes into "Kill yourself" mode I IMMEDIATELY get this song stuck in my head and it makes me feel better even though it's just listing ways to do it, it also makes me laugh and then remember ways to get around the thoughts and call someone.

[@AChickandaDuck]

I love this!

[@davidstratton696]

Your not the only one. He’s helped a lot of people with this song. I think it’s like reverse psychology or something. Tells u one thing but it means another. It’s just a dark and lighthearted way to go about it but hey it works lol.

[@IAmTheJellyBeanRock]

@@davidstratton696 it’s just a dark and light hearted way

[@stinkiestsmelliest]

I think my biggest take away from the song is that the whole "be strong, just keep your head up" mentality when you're suicidal is that it's just as unhelpful as comitting suicide. Nothing good comes from being told "just be happy", just as nothing good comes from ending your life. I like that Bo compares them like that and then rather than just bashing coping mechanisms, he explains that suicide is an epidemic, and that those who are suffering should be able to get support.

[@davidv6588]

Nothing good comes from ending your life? Really? I consider the end of suffering to be a very good thing. With all due respect, you sound like someone who has never experienced serious depression.

[@jenjohnson3886]

He actually took this song out of his repertoire while performing Make Happy at colleges because he figured it’d be tone deaf.

[@danh.5998]

Except that it’s 100% accurate.

@@danh.5998 Something can be 100% accurate and still have no need to be said. It's called empathy. You can just not say the thing that makes everyone think you're an asshole for saying it. Being right doesn't make you the good guy.

Reminded me of the Gayle King interview with R Kelly, though obviously the context is very different

[@xSilverxshadowx]

I'm sorry you thought you were being cyberbullied by that person's recommendation LOL but glad you listened to this song! Straight White Male is one of my favorites, you should definitely check that one out next!

[@sunnysunsins_4920]

My personal master list is almost done... But I won't stop until the fun/wordplay ones get a listen! - "Ironic" - "Eff" Fun songs/wordplay songs: - "#deep" - "Oh Bo" - "What's funny" - "Words words words"

[@ell3beam]

i recommend Nerds and Hell of a Ride to be added

[@stevezanders8279]

I personally love New Math

[@ondrejmichalek2602]

I would add That funny feeling

[@ivanadriazola1991]

HOAR, and Rant are really good also

[@Alexis6834]

God, Bo's poetic/artistic genius really knows no bounds. Not only does he make all these actual strong points through his songs, but he writes it in such a way that if you're not actually listening its going to go over your head. He puts the comedy and lyricism together with actual impactful things, and I admire that so much. I'm really glad you've found Bo, and are enjoying his content. Your reactions are awesome. I'm glad you pick up on all the nuance that really goes into his work. Keep up the good work, man.

[@andrewkeyser8428]

I'm very depressed and have been killing myself with not eating for days on end and crying the whole time. And the I got to this song and I booked a session of therapy witch will be tomorrow. So Ironically enough this song told me to book the session. I might just get help from a song but he is right it wasn't from Katy Perry's lyrics.

[@danielebonadeo1816]

I don't know you but I'm so glad you decided to seek professional help, I know it's not easy and it takes some serious balls. You won't regret this choice, hope you can get through this dark patch of your life 💕

[@Antony_Oscar]

Glad you're getting help, it's worth it.

[@fenudel2734]

I‘m really glad you‘re getting help! It certainly helped me a lot. Wish you all the best!!

[@andrewkeyser8428]

Thank you for the support and you Suffi for the awesome channel I got to talk and it really helped a lot, I'm doing fine for those wondering. She prescribed me some pills to swallow and every week I have to go see her again but it's really working. I implore everyone that has issues to at least give it a try and talk about your problems.

[@blueboy2976]

Katy's songs helps a lot of people even with thoughts like that. He just dont listen to her songs and hate her

[@Drummer_LJ]

This was the first ever song I heard by Bo Burnham, posted to some edgy forum or something, I can't remember. After growing up and having gone through Bo's career, this song hits so much deeper now. That being said, I would love to hear you cover Bo's "Straight White Male", it's a great bit of social commentary with some hilarious jokes and killer piano playing (It's worth it)

[@sivelisewingereid502]

Two votes!

[@anfilias]

i checked his patreon. he's okay. Busy with moving! goddamn damn it dude! You vanish after this song, one worries !!

[@Elysian395]

honestly this guy is so underrated especially since he actually is able to get the meaning behind the songs and is a cool guy himself

[@thegodroxas239]

i love seeing bo pop up on my recommendations again this song makes me so happy and unironically makes me not want to kill myself. Always so funny seeing the help stuff like nah dont worry the song is more than enough.

[@samboosaya2806]

i love your reactions to bo so much! i’ve seen so many KZbinrs laugh at the deep stuff and it never sat right with me. you should consider reacting to “That Funny Feeling” by Bo too

[@juliamora2649]

I really love this reaction, I mean you don't just see it and laugh, you pay attention and think about what he's saying. I don't know, I just wanted to let you know that your videos are great and I enjoy a lot when a new one comes out.

[@TheRosyho]

I’d love for you to react to Bo - My whole family. This song is straight up funny with no deeper meaning, but makes me laugh every time.

[@samuelmikler]

I love your reactions to Bo Burnham man, it´s enjoying his briliant work twice with a bonus of your point of view and comments :) love the song, when I discovered him (this being like a 2nd or 3rd song I heard from him) I laughed so hard... but also often think about what he says, he´s truly a brilliant guy

[@Clapsy199]

If you want an earlier one of his songs that shows how great of a song writer/ how much wit he has, i suggest Words words words. Has amazing wordplay throughout the entire song. No deep meanings like his newer stuff, but still really funny

[@pLobzina]

Look, I'm so new to this whole KZbin culture, but now when I see new reaction to Bo on one of my favourite channel, I'm just so happy!!! Thank you 🖖🏻

[@demira8142]

I'd love to see you react to 'Nerds' by Bo, it's one of his best songs in my opinion. Keep up the great work🙃

I am iranian and when it came to that line i screamed like he knows he knows😂

[@lildeadgirl1443]

I sort of think Bo may have been unsure about this song? My sister and I saw him do Make Happy a couple times, twice at a small club when he was still working out material and some of the songs sounded different. The first time he had this song in the set, next time he didn’t, and then when we saw him on the official Make Happy tour in LA which I think was towards the beginning of the tour it still wasn’t in there.

[@Charsept]

Love this one. Glad you played the setup at the beginning. Without it some people miss the satire.

[@khronicrl809]

lmao been loving the reactions an been waiting for this video glad you liked it lol

[@MegaGeNeRaLEE]

I love the bit right after this too where he apologizes immediately for even writing the song so no one makes a blog post about it lol

I'm guessing you'll get through all his songs eventually lol, and I'm looking forward to your reaction/analysis of them, but either way, i would love to see your take on "nerds" and "facetime with my mom".

I mean, as a person who struggles with depression, this song is 🔥

[@Yanivfrie]

Yo where u at man? Im looking forward for your vids bro

[@temshopping]

I mean seeing a comment starting with "Kill yourself" is pretty scary

[@gracexcon]

Yeah, the whole point of this song is that if you're genuinely suffering from mental health problems, getting your wisdom and your inspiration from many mainstream "inspirational" songs isn't going to actually help because true self love can't come from 3 minutes of basic life advice. To a person who is genuinely struggling with depression and suicidal ideation, platitudes like "be brave", "stay strong" and "you're a survivor" mean very little, and do nothing to solve the actual problem. And he's saying that hearing "kill yourself" should be placed in the same category, as weightless words from someone, like musical artists, who are far removed from you. If you want to heal and learn to love yourself and your life again, the only way to do that is with real professional help. It's so nice to see you understand that, so many people can't see past the "kill yourself" aspect of this song, and miss the actual message.

[@georgerashbrook3259]

This song made me go to therapy and it’s helped a lot I recommend

[@phreedumb9671]

This is my fav song from him

[@PenneySounds]

I have a bit of guilt around this song. When Linkin Park released their last album, I found it super mainstream and generic, and it reminded me of performers like Katy Perry, in particular the song "Battle Symphony" which made me think of "Brave" and "Roar". So I posted this Bo Burnham song in the comments as a criticism of the shallowness of that kind of music. Then their lead singer killed himself Now, I'm not claiming my comment caused that. He likely never saw it. But it still feels bad.

en 3:50, y especificamente en 3:54 estaba esperando a ver cuando te darias cuenta que, si, ahora sigue con lo mismo

[@siriusblack9999]

What i get out of this probably shouldn't be groundbreaking, but i believe he's considered doing every single method of suicide mentioned in this video, except for maybe the ones clearly added for humor like marrying courtney love, and i think it hints at just how deep his own depression reached, and the fact that he mentions missed signs of depression halfway through highlights that, because this is also from make happy, that final show before his hiatus, and yet i've not seen a single person talk about this... when it's not rubbed in their faces, like in can't handle this, nobody takes mental health seriously, or, honestly, even notices.

[@keepdeathonhold]

This is an underrated song… Klan Kookout by Bo

[@SuperMatt2112]

Great reaction, my only comment is Bo is a genius at communications, my only fear and maybe my fear is unjust, but I have a feeling that people don't always listen carefully all the time, humans are very lazy is that regard. but I hope it's just my perceptions that off and that people listen more than I am aware. I can certainly see where many would be upset about this title if they don't take the time to actually listen and sadly this happens more than we care to know. many I feel are so distracted with BS today that they have ADD IDK.

[@cyrisssmith8830]

I think this song was partially a career suicide move because he quit after this special because he was having a lot of trouble performing for a career. Having panic attacks mid performance and racking his brain over being peoples inspiration and worrying about saying the wrong things while also wanting to be honest. The song Can't Handle This is one of his best because it goes into that. I'm glad he came out of retirement for us
