I feel like if you asked artists to design a character embodying the entire Internet, they'd really get to be creative and go all out with the prompts, adding a lot of features and details to the character's design. But I find it interesting how effective this portrayal is: white shirt, black pants, black shoes, round black sunglasses. It's so simple. He just looks like any guy at all. All the weight of the character is in Bo's performance and the cold blue lighting. His outfit would be perfectly unremarkable if not for the sunglasses. We can't see his eyes. The lenses are small, so we can still see his eyebrows, it's not like we can't read his expression. But we can't look into his eyes. There's no window to the soul, just round black discs.

[@abbyryan7410]

It makes me think of Instagram stories. It goes from social justice to “look at what I ate for lunch!” really fast. Makes the seriousness of issues seem insincere.

[@doncreech]

Exactly. I'm not even entirely sure Bo knew what he had here, because this project clearly weighed on him organically throughout its production, but I'll be damned if there aren't so many subtle nuances in its craft that make it stand head and shoulders above any 'comedy special' in years, if not decades. In fact it's almost insulting to call it a comedy special. This is a feature length, one man virtuoso film that deserves every single award that's coming its way. I always thought Burnham was a smart and snappy performer, but this is visceral stuff that hits hard. I question if some will turn it off before the first 30 minutes or so are up not understanding where this thing is going, but all those people are missing the fuck out on what is right now the best film of the year.

The contrast of the song being so “relatable” at first only to turn the mirror around so we catch a quick glimpse of our addiction and the inherent horror of mindless consumption.

Id say its more a 'welcome to chaos' Its a song he's repeated for decades on end, to every new traveller, individually by the millions. In doing so, and seeing what they ask for, he's lost his mind, his original ethos corrupted and warped by humanity. Of course, he's not fully lost, at the end he regains composure, only to once again lose it, but it demonstrates that there is some degree of sanity left.

To top it off with “And if we stick together, who knows what we’ll do. It was always the plan. To put the world in your hand.” Then followed by the worlds most evil sounding laughter ever, then switches into fast paced “Could I internist you in everything, all of the time, apathy is a tragedy and boredom is a crime” shows that the lack of care the world has for a single person, YOU. and that the “world in your hand” isn’t always the best thing. You see for how truly terrible and evil people can be and that if the internet connects the world together, then the internet would be the worst place from the start because of that. Bo then covers it in the beginning with a wholesome sounding song, but cracks in the paradise of the internet start to show, and in the end, it all is let loose.

The way the music switches is fitting. The beginning sounds like a carnival. Upbeat and fun... the further down the rabbit hole you go the more fast, chaotic, and sinister the circus becomes. Then slowing down and reflecting on the good old days. To conclude with the spastic intensified out of control tempo is just the spiral that has become the internet. So clever
