Bo Burnham screaming at a fan, then singing Nerds (Hartford, CT 3/19/11)

You can't hear well in the beginning but Bo is saying "my last song is kindof serious and it's ironic to end a comedy show on a serious note, but who the fuck cares?!" and the girl is screaming "I care, I care!"
She was rude the entire show, and I'm glad he put her in her place! Surprisingly, even after this outburst, he was the sweetest person I've ever met! He did a meet-and-greet after the show! (;
Bo is amazing! This is his new song Nerds, which is absolutely amazing!

[@Barnabell]

Bo can literally say anything and not get in trouble.

[@xSwordLilyx]

+Barnabell Yes. He's a comedy act. Definition of comedy. Please, pass on the news to the PC crowd.

[@bronsonstephens5799]

He technically even says nigga once

[@rosimoone5068]

I mean, at least he doesn't abuse that power, like certain people I know. And he's quite intelligent about it too, if you really look there is meaning in everything he says. I kinda think it's a good thing that he's able to do that. Society sometimes needs sometimes someone to be able to do that. It keeps us conscious of what's actually happening with our culture.

[@linairdina270]

+emurphy66 oh fuck off. Bo doesn't like to intentionally hurt people's feelings too (he's said so in interviews). Y'all think he's so ~edgy~ and un-PC. I think he says things in the right context. He makes a crude joke in light of issue (when he uses the word 'faggot' or 'bitch' or whatever. It's all always indirect! If you pay attention he's really saying how stupid homophobia/misogyny is)

[@linairdina270]

+Barnabell he is very likeable and people are always going on about how he's so nice when he talks to them after the shows

[@MissLoveVixen]

He does get annoyed by hecklers, but hes said he doesnt mean it directly, he just gets angry. Which makes sense.

[@DarrenNoFun]

Well he is performing. It just makes me think of Christain Bale on set flipping out at his DP and thinking "Bo handled this pretty well."

[@Nessainthebuilding]

Tbh I recently heard him say it doesn't bother him any more because he understands that a lot of the time his show feels more a like a concert where people yell and scream and sing along all the time and don't realize it's a comedy show. I think he just tells people to shut the fuck to 1. Stop them from doing it and 2. To keep going along with his character that's on stage that he's doing.

[@Jegbmf]

Ali sadie he doesn’t hate all of them, so of them he laughs at and stuff like that

[@emopeterparker7]

V.E. Gray That's true. He usually just shut them up because they interrupt the flow of the show and it ruins it for other people.

Good point!

[@ZGODttv]

Probably because she was being super annoying during the entire duration of the show not just that one instance.

[@justme-ew3ri]

Well what else is he supposed to do yell at the whole crowd.

[@TheAcidPhosphate]

just me I was saying that he wanted one person to shut up, but the whole crowd just made it worse in their attempt to support him.

[@coochieskinss]

[@Lizzisdizzy]

Thank you, Bo. First for being one of the only performers who has the guts to tell people that they're being annoying without fear of scrutiny, but also because of the song. Especially because of the song. Thank you.

okay but stop calling bo "rude" like if youre talking and then youre completely interrupted you wouldnt be too happy either

[@spacecat942]

asianna hrvatin plus he did call her a "sweet little girl" ;3

[@DesireeRodriguez51]

this is the first time I've listened to this song by him. it's been an hour and I still haven't stopped crying. I'm at my uncle's barbeque and I took my hair down to cover my face like i had to do for years. it just comes to show that bullying never stops. the people leave but the memories don't. it RUINS you. your self-esteem, your confidence, your trust towards people, it's gone before you know what it's is. given the thought he could possible have my back, that's all I needed. high school is in 3 months and I'm the only one who has nothing to be excited about. makes me feel like shit.

[@zachshw]

Highschool, everyone finds their friends, people who are like eachother, From someone who is graduating in less than 5 days, You'll find someone like you, don't give up

[@garlvinland8984]

I sorta doubt you'll see this, but I had this exact thought process going into high school, just remember if anyone is bullying you or just being generally mean don't acknowledge it, just laugh at them, act like it doesn't hurt you even if it does, kids at that age just feed off of you getting mad at them

[@EpikMan369]

well it`s not as bad in the UK, but its still not that well sorted with... =L

[@WilliamTelevision]

High school is so different. Not as tight knit, so no one wastes time ostracizing or mocking. Plus, at graduation, none of it matters. Don't worry.

[@glassXmoon]

Not to be offensive, but do you realize there are far worse problems out there literally killing people in the system of contradictory rules and false statements promised by people who are supposed to protect us? Yes, my entire life in school is hell too, and yes, it will never stop. But this is at the least a TAD self-centered, don't you think?

[@enias3294]

If he plans on doing more stand up shows after inside, one of my only dreams is to see him live

[@bayonetababe9697]

Yeah I would too. I admit I’m late to the party when it comes to Bo and his work. I been making up for lost time as far as binging his content. I’d love to be able to see him live though and I really hope to get that chance. It’s encouraging that he preformed some new songs at Largo a couple of weeks ago. So we know he’s got some new stuff and he’s easing back into preforming in front of a live audience. So maybe there’s hope for us after all.

[@sydneyl5434]

GO BO. YOU GET HER.

[@clairemurray7033]

OMG YOUR PIC

[@matatoes1335]

"Oh Lord, bless his soul"

[@ThaleiaFantasy]

A bit disturbed by the amount of people in the comments who supposedly find lashing out in anger to be sexy. I know, Bo is great, but get some perspective.

[@neitha4]

that 's makes him sexy sorry.

[@ThaleiaFantasy]

Personally, I think intelligence and kindness is what makes him sexy, and the rest is just method acting bad behaviour.

[@geekgamer5266]

Yeah, kindness...

[@Nakia11798]

It doesn't make him sexy, but he's also not really lashing out. He exaggerates his anger to make it into a joke.

[@PhoenixFires]

Verbal abuse is very attractive. Standard abuse is even better.

[@milesschaeffler875]

3:37-3:41 Literally made me shiver and tense because I could basically feel the anger and seriousness resonating off of him, especially when he slightly spit on the stage. It genuinely scared me a bit.. Poor Bo..

[@EasyandFailsCoD]

He gets so into the rapping Lmao XD

[@IheartGyarados2]

Probably because this is a very meaningful song that he gets very emotional about.

[@justme-ew3ri]

And because he writes his own songs so it's personal and stuff.

[@TFproductions26]

Bless him for writing Nerds

[@nskperez]

It's his show And it's his persona

[@watermelonyteto4143]

nskperez not entirely. This song is fucking heartfelt. He went through this. And I think he sings this song her for the hecklers? They are the people. The bullies. That he delt with in high school

[@gr4vty452]

i used to listen and cry to "Nerds" religiously in 5th-6th grade and now im gonna do it again

[@dabossalot]

I think he cried at the end.

Fan or not... she's a heckler... upsetting that he has to deal with them so often.

[@malcurt1831]

I dont really blame him...after all, i've been on stage and its really annoying when a random person keeps screaming stuff.

[@christophercothern2354]

[@calebdelong1426]

did she really say "bless his soul"

[@Lavvysuperstar23]

okay but the song is really beautiful

[@AndrewJW]

Seeing him do nerds live is tough. He always breaks down

[@ordinary.girl__]

I always love the end of this song, everytime he sing "i got ur back kid" that's sooo calming omgg omgg🥹

[@oanhsie9553]

The woman who said bless his soul, bless your soul

[@Bloodanna]

Awww. I love this song so much. I'm in college now and I'm still the spastic fat chick, but turns out all the other nerds are here too; we're friends. I hope this song goes viral because, you know what? There are a lot of people out there who have your back even if it seems bad now. Thanks for such a wonderful song, Bo. May you do even greater things.

[@sarcasm-83]

**looks through video, comments** Yep. That's exactly how it goes. Nerds with anxiety issues go unnoticed, ridiculed, ignored to the point they get depressed and feel they have no importance to a SINGLE HUMANBEING on earth, but if one of them becomes famous and gets up on a stage, thousands of girls repeat "lol anyone else wet? He so sexy" no matter how he handles his anxiety. GG, world. I'm not criticising Bo btw - I'm criticising human behavior. Just.... Please, if you feel like doing a good deed; consider looking around your school and finding one of the nerds or shy individuals struggling with anxiety who haven't got on a stage to get a voice - and maybe take a minute to notice them. Find worth in them.. Drop one small polite gesture and I swear for some, one gesture like that can be a week worth of non-stop smiling. I'm sorry if I offended - it just gets to me how we act sometimes.

[@maxdamian6235]

wtf

[@sarcasm-83]

+Poseidon I merely encouraged people to take notice of the normal people around them, instead of focusing so heavily on popular people. I'm not "triggered". Nor am I trying to change other people. I have my diagnosed issues and therefor I can't just change. I do not wish for other people to behave to me differently, I wish they _had behaved_ to me differently back when it mattered. There is a difference.

[@NathanGlanzer]

WTF are you babbling about?

[@specialderpytoaster1016]

What in the single fuck does Nerd by Bo have to do with Anxiety?!

[@stratoskakalis1580]

I agree with you. I think the most important point that everyone is missing is how fame radically changed people's minds about Bo. This means that you don't need to scream and fangirl about the real Bo because another "Bo" could be that classmate in your class you never gave a chance.

[@Nakia11798]

People are so offended that an artist wants his fans to not heckle him. So fucking entitled damn, if you go to a show or a concert, act appropriately. I have said many times before to people that if I went to a concert with them and they screamed, I'd punch them. It's disrespectful and rude to not just the artist who now has to keep from getting distracted or try to calm you down, but ALSO to the other fans who just want to enjoy a show in peace. Please, if you're going to be an asshole, don't show up. I'll gladly take your tickets and be a respectful audience member in your place. :D
