Bo Burnham's Repeat Stuff & From God's Perspective REACTION

Welcome to part 7 of me discovering Bo Burnham! If this is your first Bo Burnham's reaction video of mine that you're watching, highly recommend you start from the beginning so we can go on this journey together!

The line "but no-one entertains the thought that maybe God does not believe in you" is so powerful and existential, it always hits me hard.

[@Azizzmuck]

It’s actually so fun to watch someone start so close to his older stuff when he was all about shock value going now into his stuff where his songs comedy is just to set you up for the 5 ton anvil of meaning and feels he’s about to hit you with. The newer and newer stuff will give you full body goosebumps constantly.

[@thegirlwhoships]

Every show he makes has a clear message behind it. He'll pick a topic for it and develop a whole thing around it, it just so happens that it went from his views on artistry and his own experiences with the entertainment industry to isolation and depression. All of his shows have a meaning behind them, be it how people treat him as an artist or how superficial the internet has become. He's just talking about things that more people can relate to now instead of a select few.

[@versetripn6631]

@@thegirlwhoships Does your formula equate to HIM becoming more superificial? Considering the Nature of the Internet is based on limited sensory engagement, decreased cognitive progression or balance and growing amounts of depraved online material meant to hasten Humanity's decline, far enough past acceptable boundaries to make 'Ra's Al Ghul' himself stir things up again, with a new faction, 'The Guild of Projected-Ex Bosses'. 🤗 Considering the combined failure of Scarecrow, Bane AND "Plain Sight" daughter Talia, 'Rah-G' may look towards a more...REMOTE occupation, (Masks Not Allowed) Anime-EXORCISM!!

[@versetripn6631]

...perhaps his Hippie Twin bro over in a "Galaxy far far" from Marvel, 'Qui-G' can teach the Gotham Ghost how to mess with devices at 3am

[@thegirlwhoships]

@@versetripn6631 I appreciate the references LOL I don't personally think it's about his content being more superficial. Speaking from his most recent work, I think he's clever in showing what he means, be it directly (a literal song about what the internet has become) or indirectly (imagery of himself in a clear thirst trap and the crucifying in an apology song to visually mock apology videos online) and he continues to be very self-aware with his opinions and actions. Bo's always talked about how society has issues and judged it, while still admitting he's a part of it and being in the entertainment business is assisting with some of it, as well as doing what he does for his own self-named selfish reasons. Maybe even he sees himself as superficial, since he's doing content still, but I don't.

[@versetripn6631]

@@thegirlwhoships Excellent breakdown! I sped ahead of 'context' by attaching your 'Net-Superficiality' 🤣 to his growing 'Relatability'/audience. Knowing nada of his content, you clarified perfectly! Gracias. 😎

[@hika_ariel]

There's an interview where Bo's like "I was doing this song where I basically suggested these pop stars profit on little girls insecurities and I might have suggested that,, you know,, they work for Satan. I didn't know Justin Bieber was in the audience" 💀💀

[@JohnnyLeven]

Wow. I'd never seen the Repeat Stuff music video, just the live version. While the meaning of the song is definitely dark, that video really made it feel a lot darker.

[@Steven_22]

Yea I never actually saw the music vid I just watched the live so I was actually surprised on the turn it took

[@Nyaliva]

The two versions of repeat stuff are different and liked for different things, but the one thing the studio version definitely has over the live version is the slow pull in on the mother's face as she looks increasingly concerned until she suddenly looks at the camera. True art. Equally artful: the demonic SWAG.

[@WolfFiddlerguy6285]

We started from seeing his clever lyrical wordplays, now we're in the stage of putting serious messages in he's comedy of him exposing the system of fame

[@Pulisemil]

I love this era of Bo where he starts to mix comedy with philosophy.

[@MostlyAnimatedSketches]

You’re definitely right that he’s not a pop star lol but I feel like during that era, he kind of fell into the trap of coming across as a bit of a teen idol because he was, at the time, one of the youngest comedians (if not the youngest) and he had come from KZbin, which was also a new thing. So, he was in his late teens and early 20s (the time when celebrities have a teen fanbase anyway) and the demographic of his side of KZbin was pretty much in the same age range at the time, assuming that my generation wasn’t stumbling onto his content in elementary school lol These days internet celebrities are very common, so it’s not really handled the same way.

[@BlahBlahWoofWoof12]

The Repeat Stuff live version is also very much worth a watch, there were moments where he made it very "memorable."

[@clinton8421]

"Oh, hey Satan..." *Bo quickly makes the song very memorable

[@TropicalHat420]

lmao that Repeat Stuff reaction ending was so damn good. Bo is a genius, love seeing these.

[@christopherwalsh2368]

This was easily the best reaction I've seen 😂 your face was priceless 🤣

[@dauntingbutthereyougo6910]

Came back to say, after "From Gods Perspective", Laughter - Goosebumps - Aww! Is how it often happens with Bo, and I'm really enjoying seeing you get that

[@ShortDocsSeries]

It makes me jealous to see someone discover him for the first time. I got to see him live in 2012. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen.

[@Allelementstcg]

There's ALOT to unpack in the music video! It's my favorite version, but the live video does have some great jokes that only works with an audience

[@atulyaroy8962]

I love he plays Hitler's speech in the background. Like who tf else can do that lmaooo

[@dauntingbutthereyougo6910]

That was brilliant! I definitely think you should still do the live repeat stuff though, it has its own merits..... Also please please don't miss the other songs from Words Words Words, like What's Funny, Ironic and ESPECIALLY Rant, they are so worth going back for if possible! Still keeping my fingers crossed for Art is Dead and the other blocked ones too, please don't give up on them! Also yes, From Gods Perspective is goosebumpy and beautiful

[@leighreynolds6352]

I loved watching your facial expressions to the end of repeat stuff was hilarious. Love this reaction!

[@wilhelmthonwicklund1544]

Hey! Loving these reactions! But you missed all the songs from his first special I think?

[@JEFFwasHERE...]

I just realized where you're at in your Bo Burnham journey. You're in for one hell of a ride.

[@Lurkily_Esh]

There's an interview where he talks about the live version of this, about how he's comparing a lot of these artists like Bieber to the devil, and he didn't know it at the time, but apparently Bieber was in the audience.

[@MattBlahhh]

I'm commenting on an "older" video of yours, but after watching about 5 of your videos I saw this one and realized that I just really enjoy watching your reactions. I won't try to analyze why, but had to throw this comment of appreciation into the void! Thank you!

[@dard1515]

The music industry invades a family's home and steals their daughter's heart.

[@cuecadelacut]

Time to watch the full specials!

[@davidcampbell4479]

These are my two favorite message songs from Bo since discovering him after “Inside”. If you love the message of “Repeat Stuff” I would suggest looking into Poppy, or originally That Poppy, whose entire career has been pointing out the flaws and hypocrisies of the music industry.

[@wendycohen9038]

I LOVE it when you're reduced to incoherent squeaking noises. That's how I know it's really good.

[@TheRustyGuitarist]

Man, God's Perspective gives me goose bumps too. He's so on the pulse of what we should be doing, vs what alot interpret from the Bible...

[@LukeZwarteVacht]

And now you know Bo's opinion on teen pop stars.

[@alfie9089]

I def recommend the live version of repeat stuff as well

[@Kirbyte1]

watching you just breakdown listening to repeat stuff was so funny, great reaction

[@lewisfender318]

I absolutely love your shocked reaction to getting goosebumps at the end of From God's Perspective (around 6:43 )! It looked like you were genuinely startled. So good!

[@andrewbyronloveshire5209]

that Ginerland Squeal (at the end of Repeat Stuff) has to be one of the greatest mems ever

[@seansmith2797]

Learning words is fun with Bo!

[@leandropeixoto9043]

Ok, your laughs really made me subscribe.

[@caseycollinson1429]

He's equating the heartless manipulation through the music industry with Satan

[@Matisaro]

Satan saying Swag makes me lose it every time like someone told me the funniest joke of all time. I may need help.

[@williamtimonen6814]

There exist a live recording of what appears to be an older version of From Gods Perspective. Thats called ”Oh My God” which is a lyrically similar but significantly angrier version of the song. Id consider it both funnier and more energic. Even if the quality of the recording is somewhat questionable, and it doesnt have the more uplifting ending.

[@CChissel]

I felt sorry for Bo there for a while, I had been watching him since he did videos in his room, and after he was finally performing and doing shows in front of an audience it seemed people started looking at him differently. I can’t say for sure as I don’t know him at all, only speculate from what I’ve seen and heard him talk about but, he went through a rough time, and quit. But he seems to be doing better (I hope) these days, and his special Inside is great. I loved every minute of it.

[@shawnstetsko8443]

I like his live version off of ''What'' more, but this song is great no matter how you present it.

[@falsicorgi813]

Yeah, when bo started trying to critique the industry he wasn't exactly subtle with how he felt about them... Still love going back to these but this 'I'm gonna make you laugh then feel weird about it' vibe is his thing going forward

[@Samsamsam6969]

saying he's wholesome after "from god's perspective" knowing "repeat stuff" if up next...

[@schubox]

Always watch the live videos, always. They’re always better

[@tacoface1383]

I enjoyed this reaction it was funny but I really do think you should watch the entire special he has on Netflix which are words words words, make happy, and inside

[@Travis-hq3lh]

There is an interview with I think Letterman or Leno where he talks about performing this while Bieber was in the audience.

[@cinderblockstudios]

Weirdly I tried to close the banner ad in the video you were watching...what has youtube done to me!?

[@siresorb1419]

It's kinda fun watching people unknowingly being corrupted.

[@dravens8337]

If anyone here watched through ChrisReacts videos on Bo Burnham how did he get past the copyright issues? He got all of make happy and inside to upload and I would love for Alice to be able to upload those two specials in the same format so we could get full reactions to the specials. Theres so much inbetween stuff in Inside that id hate to see her miss out on. Especially once we get to all eyes on me and the segments leading up to that song.

[@dauntingbutthereyougo6910]

Yes Chris Reacts managed to get around things very well and so does Cliff Beats, wonder if there's any way for Alice to get advice from him?

[@emerypitney9110]

i just recently saw the music video for repeat stuff and now i can never listen to that song the same again!

[@jeffbrehove2614]

I AM THE SERVANT OF DARKNESS!!!! I AM THE VOID!!!! THE RIVERS SHALL RUN RED WITH THE BLOOD OF VIRGINS!!!! THE STRONG WILL BE MADE WEAK!!!! THE WEAK SHALL BOW BEFORE ME!!!! SWAG!!!!!

[@Joeygozoom]

It's worth watching Stephen lynch if you enjoy Bo Burnham and Tim minchin. Songs to look at: tiny little Moustache, chocolate Icecream and tattoo are hilarious!

[@matthewgilbert9881]

Yeah, he definitely has a dark view of pop culture and pop music and it’s effects on children, especially. I think his video was a metaphor for the music industry, like it insinuates itself into children’s homes and minds, takes their love (i.e., their heart), and uses it for money (i.e., consumes it). So when you look at it that way, it does kind of seem evil. I love the extended metaphors he uses, just makes you think about things in a new way.

[@elkaiozen]

Bo has always gone very hard against the mainstream bastardization and marketing of "Art" repeat stuff is one of the most direct call out of it. Thing like Welcome to KZbin, Country Song, Welcome to the Internet, and I'm sure several others all touch on how much it all comes down to money. I think part of it comes down to Bo hating that he is a part of the very system he finds so appalling. Which is why he "casts" himself as the demon possessed one in the video.

[@zeallust8542]

Dont forget Oh Bo

[@webdrude]

God made goosebumps so you would know when he was speaking to you.

[@notednuance]

I always took the satanic bits as comparing the disregard of emotionally manipulating young people as sacrificing them for your own gain. Plus the fair bit of "deal with the devil" kind of analogies that come out of the music industry.

[@superdrwholock]

I love these videos

[@randywhitcomb7585]

Jon Lajoie did a song like this before bo back in 2009 called Pop Song

[@Trowa71]

Big Bo fan, but I somehow missed that music video. Amazing. He went the full mile.

[@gwaptiva]

Ok, I was just triggered by another video to come back here and let you know how you just saved your generation in my eyes: When you didn't know a word, you LOOKED IT UP! Thank you for being curious, and knowing that you have a tool at your immediate disposal to remedy any ignorance. Thank you and stay curious!

[@cyrisssmith8830]

Please react to Help Me by Trevor Moore. It's the reverse side of the coin of repeat stuff with both representing a type of pop star. Trevor Moore is my dead hero his songs are hilarious and deep. He has someone else singing most of help me and sings The Producers parts.

[@intermedianguitarsguild4482]

"Tied in nicely" haha

[@lillymsf5946]

YAAAAAAAY NO.1! Never been this early in my life :D

[@ShockingRotom]

fr

[@mlgnerd13]

Lol congrats

[@Appetizer550]

If youre going in order, i hope you catch rant, nerds, EFF, and hell of a ride before you start the next special's songs start

[@samira-hb1cv]

you could also watch "Zach Stone is gonna be famous" it's a tv series lol

[@DerekMoffitt]

really enjoying the bo journey

[@erickmendonca6349]

in my perspective, the satan thing is about the teens who love the artist but not necessarily means they have being doing things that is good maybe they sending the wrong message or something like that.

[@hika_ariel]

I realised the videos are pretty big. Have you tried making them smaller or putting them behind you like a green screen? I've seen many doing it maybe it could work for you too

[@lizardkid666]

Hey I forgot my raincoat but at least it’s not sunny outside

[@Serryy]

Are you going to react to "Zach Stone is gonna be famous" as well? Its an old MTV show of his.

[@Smart-Towel-RG-400]

In a live Version of this song he deep 😲 a mic 🎤 lol

[@userid272]

The live version of Repeat Stuff is pretty different, so I’d recommend watching both! Also he was more implying that pop stars worked for satan lol

[@Antony_Oscar]

This was so funny to watch XD

[@anoukchristie5639]

he y you said your art is dead vid got taken down, but did you react to rant too because its a dreally under apprieciated song

[@liamengram6326]

3:25 Omnipotence landed, but abstain missed? lol

[@Swenglish]

The "Satan" stuff is very much metaphorical. Representing the general hidden darkness underneath the pop music machine. It's kind of a generic metaphor, and plays more into popular tropes than mythology, but it's pretty widely recognizable symbolism for just a very broad and general concept of "evil". It's more about the shameless greed and the manipulation and exploitation that feeds it.

[@Jayce570]

oh Goodness, a redhead - and she reacts! have a sub

[@jeezy7751]

I enjoyed your genuine reaction.👍

[@scottd5098]

Getting into deep bo now

[@GreenDudeHC]

hey alice do you want me to edit ur dmca'd videos for you? ill try some stuff to bypass it since im partnered. if i figure it out i can show you how for future vids!

[@KingLeroue]

13:27 os a vibe

[@kaize666]

How did your voice go so high and still form words?

[@Androssi709]

Maybe for the art is dead reaction you could upload it to Vimeo or something and put the link in the description of a video. Some reactors do that, like a 30 sec video with the link in the description

[@covrtdesign5279]

If you need some more signing comedians, definitely reach to Steven Lynch. Early 2000's comedian with some incredible songs. Right up your alley for sure!

[@alfie9089]

Yeah from here on out his songs get alot deeper about halfway through

[@fake.dracula]

I would love to see you react to "Unpaid Intern"

[@ericmcdonough6771]

Lindsay Lohan. That’s all I got

[@ikingipapa]

art is dead is one of my favorites, dman i want to see that reaction from you. you blur the video or don't even show the video

[@kylefoutz4920]

Goosebumps! From God's Perspective is one my favorite Bo songs.

[@nesamdoom]

Ok, how do you point the wrong way in the video?

[@caseycollinson1429]

So you're still a ways off from this but when you finally make it to his special "Inside" I would recommend reacting to the full special in one sitting and then editing it into more manageable pieces to upload. No other reaction channel has done this as far as I know and Inside is something that really deserves to be consumed as a whole rather than just snippets of individual songs. I'm sure a lot of people would agree with me! Like I said no one else has done it as far as I know so it's free real estate!

[@OlivesRCew1]

Ive listened to repeat stuff but only the live version and that ending was weird as hell

[@nicksttrs]

13:29 I subbed

[@stevenl.9737]

Gorgeous redhead 😁. Lets watch some Bo, yo.

[@Charsept]

There's a video of bands/musicans in interviews talking about how awful the music industry is. Cutthroat and manipulative. Some hugely successful artists are relatively poor thanks to terrible contacts.

[@quintinpeixoto139]

For the Algorithm!

[@SirDannerz]

Another video of you being incredibly cute. I love your content so far, especially your eyes. It's like anime girl eyes. I'm still not simping, I have a woman I love and a kid I love even more.

[@SirDannerz]

The message of the song is that he hates that the music industry and the pop culture thing are taking advantage of young girls and stealing their hearts and the concept of happiness. They dream of Romeo being someone who can save them from the poison and don't give other guys a shot because they want the perfect one.

[@RootinrPootine]

You don’t know what abstain means?

[@zhanazar8305]

It's funny. Everything inside screams that there are lies and pretense in front of me, I don’t believe you. But what if this is sincerity and there are a lot of such people exist?

[@lanmandragoran8337]

[@MrOsage254]

React to tom macdonald. You won't be disappointed. HOG gang is real

[@CodyTaylor115]

It got so dark because of exactly what you said they are making money and lots of it off the insecurities of little girls. And making them insecure through other media so they can then sell more stuff to them. Sounds pretty evil to me lol

[@НосочекГриши]

Ur sweet, and without makeup too

[@SDFlick619]

So you looked up abstain and still didn’t get the line?
