BO BURNHAM - WELCOME TO THE INTERNET - THAT BOY BO IS DIFFERENT!

[@Viccerz]

A villain's song for the villain that already won. This shit is different

[@theductductgoose]

the villain song for the villain that already won. Damn. That's brand new, and my brain wants to reject it so badly

what a perfect description

Dope description.

God damn it… 4Chan won…

[@cieljek]

Bo's whole "Inside" special is a work of art. He came back after a 5 year hiatus recovering from mental health issues. He was having panic attacks on stage. And just as he was preparing to come back, the pandemic started. And we got a solo production from him. Everything was done himself, in his home.

[@ThisisStephennn]

Yes

[@Cripplified]

It's really a masterpiece. There's humor/comedy thrown into the special, but it really conveyed the darkness the internet/world is coming to. And how hopeless we feel to change anything, combined with the isolation of the lockdown(s) created by Covid making mental health even worse. Bo is a brilliant mind and creator, and Inside is definitely a must watch for everyone imo.

[@m.g.sailors225]

💯🔥💯🔥

[@chand911]

No way he'd appreciate Inside as a whole.

[@scottymacdewder5229]

Bo just released a B-side companion hour on his YT called "Inside outtakes" full of a bunch of stuff that didn't make the cut, and serves almost as a making of...

[@shikamarunine]

You said it Stevie, it's like a circus song. He's like a "villain" presenting a show, while revealing his secrets...

[@concernedcitizen6313]

Yeah, and I love how much slower and sinister the "circus music" is after the maniacal laugh, before the sped-up chorus.

[@Wolta]

I feel like the internet is pretty much a circus, a clown fiesta, felt like a great choice for music.

[@Dreveryn]

This song is so brilliant, without directly saying it, he showed how dark the internet is. By offering a little bit of everything all of the time, they put the world in your hands. As soon as you touched it the contract was signed, and Bo pulls the veil in his laughter revealing the price of a little bit of everything is your soul. Such an insane metaphor.

[@iitstre_4550]

Oh buddy, if you’re gonna go down the Bo hole let me tell you… You have a LOT to learn. This man is absolutely nuts, especially his older stuff.

[@wall.daisies2952]

Bo hole Lol

[@Fatcatmatt]

@@wall.daisies2952 I can’t lol that sounds like some crap he would use as a name for a special or something like “down the Bo hole” where he exposes his audience for falling down a rabbit hole of his content

[@switchshorty3981]

agree that you gotta look up more but i cannot agree about old stuff. i think bo has only been getting better and better throught the years. inside is a fucking masterpiece.

[@liamengram6326]

Last time I went down the Bo hole my wife slept at her parents place for 3 weeks. LOL

[@f.d.johnson2557]

“The internet is the devil” he says on KZbin. Hahaha keep up the good work, Stevie.

[@AaronSmithDrums]

got chills watching this again but through your perspective. he really does say it all for you in this one. kind of hard to interpret what’s so clearly portrayed. found him through this special, been watching you for awhile, so it’s cool as always to hear your thoughts and see your reactions. appreciate you bro

[@exorerfl2337]

You have to respect that bo might not be the funniest comic, or the best singer but he found a way to be unique and still be heard and loved. Nobody has done satire quite like him and it’s insanely creative

[@unclefoot]

Bang on reaction. There’s a litany of deeper meanings in this song but you summed it up perfectly. The internet is fucking us all up, and Bo’s cold. Dudes in a class of his own and is probably one of the best if not the best existential absurdist out there. You said you got a laundry list of Bo songs but I gotta recommend: How the world works Art is dead From gods perspective All eyes on me Keep ‘em comin!

[@a-don13]

he didn't seem like he really felt this even tho he understood what it was about. i guess maybe he wasn't ready for it? i was hoping he'd have more of a reaction cuz this is incredible

[@unclefoot]

@@a-don13 I assume (hard assumption haha) that he was more focused on not missing anything. he seemed to be pretty much locked into it from the first line. I’m the kind of person that won’t budge a muscle once I’m super into something, and that’s kind of the vibes I got from him. Also, there’s just…so many god damn layers to it. I could see how hard it would be to even know where to start lol. That’s what makes Bo such a master at existentialism. No one would believe that a “comedy” song about the internet could end up hitting like some Lovecraftian horror…yet here we are 🤷‍♂️

[@korrok2834]

You can see the song seeping into his mind on his face. Especially with when It goes in on how kids are being manipulated.

[@BluBerrey]

I love how open you are to everything man! I think we are very far apart in terms of interests and character too, yet your openness puts us on common ground always. Goes to show all of us people are not that different at all from each other. Would love to hear more of your thoughts after the reaction too, you got some really fresh takes on things!

[@nikytann]

YES!!! I’ve been waiting for the video!!! Bo is a genius!

[@opg1987]

Inside will go down as one of the most important pieces of art of this decade. Bo is a genius.

[@sanbilge]

This is the first video I've seen of you and I'll see more because you're contemplative, and I really appreciate that. You listened to the lyrics and the music and made a comment when it was necessary. By the way, it's circus music because that's what the internet is. *The Bo is in the details*

[@ismael4443]

Bruh the way he wants you to feel with the rhythm and then the message behind. He not jabbing, hes throwing hooks! Bop bop!

[@j7fk13]

Stevie, I'm prolly not your usual watcher, but I value every one of your reactions and opinions dude. You're a breath of fresh air in a stagnant internet. Appreciate you man, keep it up.

[@derekdecker555]

It’s kinda tough, because I love that special but each song fills me with more existential dread than the last.

[@JiskaStorm]

Besides the topic he's talking about, Bo really knows how to create a certain vibe.

[@Scrub_Jake]

I will ALWAYS be quick with watching Bo or Pentatonix reactions!

[@tayeelshaikh9228]

The circus music plays to how the internet is a sh*t show or circus. Nothing but sensory overload.

[@treggmichelleliebler399]

The circus chorus is brilliant. * "The Greatest Show On Earth" * Several "acts" performing any given time. * The freak show * The circus animals living in conditions they were never meant for that slowly make them go crazy.

[@bretthammonds2474]

Really enjoy your reactions to non hip hop stuff man. This Special is really good all the way through if you're looking for more Bo to check out

[@AlabasterJazz]

I don't think the internet is the devil's work, here I am, able to watch your reaction to an amazing artist, and know that I'm not the only one who is impacted by it. Communities that I'd otherwise never be aware of, let alone a part of. It's amazing. But that power can go in as many different directions as we let it, and I think that's a good thing all things considered.

[@tonymarselle8812]

Down, satan!

[@JAMESGUERRIERO-yw4ex]

Bo is a genius , really enjoyed the reaction , probably one of the most accurate depictions of the Internet , complete with that Devil's laugh that we were all hooked

Aaaah, man... been waiting for you to do more Bo. This one isn't your speed. If you want BARS - do the Words, Words, Words video. I'm telling you, that's right in your wheelhouse.

"and it did all the things we designed it to do"

[@matthewr7593]

"Apathy's a tragedy, boredom is a crime." So key. We all hate now a single second of silence but that's where our brain rests, recharges and we can have deeper thoughts. So many artists and thinkers talk about how great silent walks are because if you're constantly being stimulated, especially by nonsense, your brain is just running on empty. So in our society where we're never bored, we never can think about deep things, or really consider our lives, etc.

[@Cannon2541]

As someone who has this problem exaserbated by ADHD, this is exactly it. When your senses are filled with inputs, and your brain is filled with stuff, there's no room left for thought, consideration, or to an extent, memory, because everything in your completely full up mind is constantly the same, a white wall of noise.

[@sunshynff]

I'm not cheerleading for the internet, or disagree with the meaning of Bo's song, it's totally on point, and masterfully conveyed. I fully comprehend the toxic, vile nature that the internet can bring out in people/society, like anything else in life though, there's a ying and a yang. Without the internet, a surgeon I worked for couldn't have assisted less trained surgeons with life saving surgery from St. Louis Children's hospital on a 2y/o child on another continent. While physical contact will never be replaced, how many people, due to immune, quarantine, or travel issues, found a little comfort saying goodbye to a loved one dying of covid, face to face on skype or zoom. Evil will always stomp it's feet and make the most noise to draw our attention, try not to feed it, look for the good in life and you will find it. ✌️❤️

[@ecomog4735]

hes not saying the internet is bad hes just giving a sales pitch about the internet and what it has to offer in a way where he ramps it up from finding information to building a boom Edit: he puts it in a way where you can decide you're opinion on the internet and it is just a perception of all the experiences you can make and have made.

[@sunshynff]

@@ecomog4735....I'm not sure if you're referring to Stave or Bo, though I'm leaning towards Bo, and I agree with your well stated comment, regardless, I never meant to imply either one of them stated the internet was bad. It wasn't lost on me that Bo was simply giving the listener a different lens to view the internet, to convey it's possible culpability at making human to human interaction less needed, possibly lowering the advantages of living in a society that fosters understanding and empathy through face to face interactions. I just thought Steve was focusing on all the negatives of the internet a tad to much in his post reaction breakdown, which is fine, not criticizing him for that, I just wanted to play devils advocate to what Stevie mentioned.

[@mattdiliberto4967]

It's a carnival sounding beat because he's saying the internet is like a creepy carnival. He's the carnival barker.

[@whowastheoneguy4719]

[@dripdaddy2192]

I didn’t know if I should laugh or cry the first time I heard this

[@dadougler]

I can't wait for your reaction to "How the World Works".

[@ginorvdw]

Bo's through warning us. He's straight up saying what happened now that his warnings have been largely ignored. the line of ''mommy let you use your ipad, you were barely two'' hits so hard. ADHD is being created in kids because of the constant engagement for endorphine release. amazing artist, musician and comedian.

[@liamengram6326]

That is a pretty wild statement at the end there. Sure, attention spans have been reduced by constant instant gratification, but that is not what ADHD is. ADHD is a diagnosable mental condition. In my retirement I took up working with individuals who have developmental disabilities. I assure you, the symptoms and resulting behaviors of ADHD in our older individuals are much more severe, because the younger people in our program have had education and instruction on how to cope with their ADHD, recognize when it is taking control, and mitigating it. I am 36. I myself was diagnosed with ADHD at 31. I always understood that I was different as a kid, but it never affected my studies. In fact, in retrospect my ADHD which I didn't know I had, but built my own coping mechanisms for, was a blessing. My ADHD often manifests in ignoring mundane shit that does not challenge me, and gets me hyper-focused when I find something challenging. I firmly believe my ADHD is actually why I exceled in STEM, was able to work pretty high paying jobs at a young age (before graduating high school) and was able to accelerate my education. That paired with the challenge I found in making connections with my social anxiety led me to build my company and constantly push the envelope with our work - so that I could feel challenged, and focus.

[@ginorvdw]

@@liamengram6326 I wanted to earnestly reply to your comment. You then wrote a whole paragraph about yourself and your past struggles and shit. I have ADHD too, but I ain't out here ranting my life story while not making a solid fact based point. I retain my stance.

Not so much a circus as it is a carnival barker… a snake oil salesman. Draws you in with all the wonderful bright and shiny things, soon tosses a dark thing or two in between, speeds up and gets increasingly more chaotic but by then you’re already drawn in. Then he slows down and pulls you in with more personable bright and shiny things, then once he has you, you’re done!

[@Shoetoe2000]

I'm glad you didn't pause too much and just enjoyed the song:D What you said about being it some Kanye shit, Bo ended one of his specials (Make Happy) with "can't handle this". It is a Kanye rant with a twist, really worth the watch:)

[@spaceartiste2496]

I can definitely see how the internet can fuck people up, and I very much agree that there are problems with how we use it, but honestly, the internet has been such an incredible force of good in my life, so I just can't say that it's "the devil's work" or something like that. I'm a queer neurodivergent person. The internet has not only allowed me to find people who are similar to me, but has allowed me to figure myself out in ways I never would have without it, simply because I would never have heard of anything except what was introduced by the people around me. On top of that, it helps me deal with a lot of my neurodivergent tendencies, like giving me the ability to participate in work from my own home, which greatly lessens the stress I feel in day-to-day life, or providing me with content to fulfill my brain's need for stimulation. (Also, I'm a programmer. 90% (probably more) of my chosen career is what it is today because of the internet)

Oh my god this is the kind of reaction I've been looking for with this song. Similar kind of reaction to the one I first had watching it, especially when he starts laughing. That "Oh..oh no.." moment. Everyone else pauses at that moment and completely ruins the impact of that exact moment to say some kind of stupid shit and I'm like "You just missed it. The most terrifying and impactful commentary about the internet and you missed it to say something stupid."
