Bo Burnham-The Chicken REACTION

We promise we'll wear something different for the next video.
More Bo coming.
Love you!

[@Daniel-cn3fw]

this song made me tear up and im a 35 year old man. its just about hope for a better life and we all need to be optimistic these days. keep up the bo stuff.

[@jodyandamanda]

Right? I was tearing up on my second and third listen. Really hits home with me. We have more Bo coming! Thanks so much for watching! -Jody

[@magfromrags2873]

You a King sir keep your head up.

[@leme3503]

True, it did for a lot of people but... "and im a 35 year old man." ... and? so? ????? ?

[@vhp99]

Don't wanna make it heavier but there's also a few hints on suicide that only a few commenrs have broken down.. 😅

[@AllTheArtsy]

It's a "why did the chicken cross the road?" joke, but it really highlights Bo's own relationship to comedy. The very thing he loves doing the most and is most talented at, the dream we assume he had as a youth doing the standup gigs, also has the greatest capacity to hurt him.

[@-piras]

Damn I never linked it with his dream of doing comedy, definetly a good analysis omg...

[@lonely_crash2059]

Who would've thought a "why'd the chicken cross the road" joke could be turned into something this thoughtful

[@jodyandamanda]

Right?? Had me choking up lol

[@TheDiceDungeon]

This song is so beautiful! Been listening to it on repeat since it came out

[@jodyandamanda]

Yes! It's crazy that he can make legitimately great songs in so many different genres.

[@dottydavis1504]

I love watching reactions to this song because in the beginning, everyone's just vibing, but when the line "there's just one thing. The chicken must first cross the road" comes up, there's a smile or acknowledgement of "oh, this is about why the chicken crossed the road joke" but this definitely put a whole different spin on it.

[@leme3503]

'cause this channel's got potential: 1. Discord off 2. Tilt camera down

[@ComedyBee]

And change the camera frame rate to stop the light flicker from the background 💪

[@theConquerersMama]

Those lights are going to give people headaches/seizures.

[@RustyGonzo]

I need to somehow and some day work "aren't cockledoodledoos... turkeys?" into a conversation. Such a great reaction omg haha

[@jodyandamanda]

hahaha!! lmk how that goes :P

[@delicia3013]

Recommend exiting your discord before recording in future so the BLEEPs from it don't get recorded on your videos :)

[@jodyandamanda]

Honestly didn't even notice. Thank you so much! :)

[@SpinningToWin]

Yeah I didn't notice either but that's because the volume is so low I can't hear a thing this is the only time I've had to turn the volume up to 100% on my radio in order to actually hear it

[@ArkticdragonYT]

Y’all should react to other Bo Burnham songs like Welcome to the Internet and Art is Dead.

[@mehazc]

I like to think the last line which kind of cuts off is actually meant to say “So that’s why she went outside”

[@lillyf2662]

My personal take was “that’s why she did it” as in: That’s why the chicken crossed the road. The joke is always whatever reason the joke-teller provides, but this is Bo’s reason. “That’s why she did it.”

[@shindig7075]

I like the part where they don't have any transformative content for the first 4:25 then their commentary at the end was "this is what happened in the song.".... I'm lying please if you do react content take this constructive criticism and react more, build on what is being sung about, and pull from your own life experiences to add meaning to the video. Not to say the video isn't impactful itself, but your reactions should ADD to the experience rather than just be cut and dry.

[@theConquerersMama]

Probably not going to watch this channel again frankly. I love reaction videos. Huge fan of Bo's. That's why it came up in my algorithm. I put up with the flashing lights, the beeping discord & weird volume issues to watch people react like bumps on a log. I hardly expect everyone to be animated or exaggerated but come on. You have to contribute something of your own while exploiting someone else's work. Not everyone with an internet connection can do it successfully. Good luck to you, though. I hope you take some of the constructive criticism in the various comments to heart.

[@YouKnowTony1]

Thank God a reaction video that doesn’t pause every 5 seconds to try and sound smart 😭

[@Hey_Jamie]

They literally added absolutely nothing to this.

[@YouKnowTony1]

@@Hey_Jamie I love you

[@JoshTRC]

@@Hey_Jamie yeah i agree. People that watch these kind of reaction videos literally just want to watch people staring at a screen saying nothing.

[@TacticalSandals]

Damn someone wont stop messagi...wait a minute!

[@zeroreyortsed3624]

You are the salt of the earth woman😂😅. Gobble, Gobble 😂

[@devon596]

Maybe consider pausing periodically to talk about what you're thinking/feeling while listening. Doing it all at the end makes the reaction very shallow. For this video as an example, you guys added nothing to the original content, which makes it less appealing than many other reaction channels. And then after a VERY brief conversation the video ended abruptly. Honestly it seems like you didn't really analyze the song's content at all.
