[First Time Hearing] Bo Burnham- 1985 | I don’t think I’ve laughed to the point of crying like this!

[@jenjohnson3886]

Apparently someone ran into the Burnhams recently and asked his dad what he thought of the song. Apparently he listened to it like a thousand times the day it came out so safe to say I think he liked it.

I love this song so much. Not only does it fully encapsulate the 80's vibe, but after continually using his father's "dislike" of his jokes throughout his comedy routines he does a song that's idolizing him. Also near the end one of the lines is "My dad was happier than I am.", implying his dad in the mid 80s (I'm going to assume when he was 30) was enjoying his life more than Bo is currently.

[@loganessex699]

Actually, as I typed that I was thinking of how this song is almost the exact opposite of "Face Time With My Mom". FT makes light of his mom's current bungling with technology, and this one talks about wishing he could be his father 5 years before he was born.

[@MeganTheLibrarian3]

Yes! The "my dad was happier than I am" line gets me every time! It provides that emotional whiplash that we've all come to love about Bo's work. I think the fact that this song is idolizing his dad is probably one of the reasons he didn't include it in the final cut. Because it would conflict with his stage persona's hatred of his father. Whereas Face Time With My Mom continues that theme with the "that's the deepest talk we've ever had" part. But that's just my theory

[@lunabangtan7]

I don’t think the song is necessarily idolizing him.

[@AaaAa-pq1gb]

As far as I’m aware, Bo has been pretty open with his mental health struggles, and also all of inside exists so it makes sense

[@kappanova1302]

@@lunabangtan7 I feel like it's reversing the typical "boomer"-statement of "Young people today are so lazy even though they have all these opportunities" into "Old white guys had it so easy, they didn't have to be mindful of anything, life must've been bliss"

[@angelaborden7171]

The "gee whiz" line reaaaaally gets me everytime. I love it so much. Your reactions are my favorite :D

[@SpectraStarShooter]

The rhythm there just flows so well but it’s so unexpected. How can you start a line with Gee whiz and make it bang??? HOW?! So good.

[@Kerrigore2]

This song is probably stuck in my head more than any other from the outtakes. except maybe "The Future"

[@cameronbenaziza9793]

I respect you for getting up at 3am just to shoot this video!, but honesty make sure to put your health first my dude, don't over do it 🤟🏼

[@wadurito]

If I woke up at 3am I wouldn't be laughing at anything as hard as he is. Lots of respect for being this engaged with the content you're reacting to. I know reaction channels get a bad take, and I'm not usually a fan myself; but, Cliff is a a subject matter expert and it's so much fun seeing him pick things out of my favorite creator's songs that I never noticed or thought of before.

[@TheRandoMario]

1985 is as sweet as it is deeply weird. Also, respect the hustle, but make sure to take care of yourself! =)

[@sammybutler3027]

How is it weird? Bc he wants to be happy and he knows his dad was in 1985 and he was also white and the economy wasn’t fucked up, that’s just common sense it’s not weird

[@f.b.jeffers0n]

Glad you take the time for these dude! This was the best way my Monday could have started!

[@annewilliamson6261]

What’s so funny about this song is that I was in 2nd grade in 1985. I don’t know if “Thriller” by MJ came out that year, but it was the first tape I ever bought. Cabbage Patch Kids were also going dummy in 1985. I got one that Christmas and I held on to that doll that first night like it was treasure. I was a child in 1985 and no matter what else was going on, there’s still that childish innocence of the 80’s for me. The ad libs and some bars are hilarious because they poke fun of “white guy in 1985”, because it wasn’t all good. It’s fun to revisit those childhood memories, but it’s also good as a parent to say to my son “Stay gold, pony boy “. Stay young, don’t rush into adulthood before it’s time. You only get to experience the innocence of youth once, don’t rush it. (Now don’t push it either, don’t let your kids navigate this world naive! 🤣)

[@theConquerersMama]

Cabbage Patch kids came out in 1982. I got one. My parents let me know how hard it was to get and I rolled my eyes because I was a freshman.

[@sammybutler3027]

Were you Italian in 1985?

[@annewilliamson6261]

@@sammybutler3027 could have gotten the year wrong, 85 was a pivotal year because of an iconic car my father bought out of the blue. I don’t know 82 through 85 are a a blur of elementary school. And home life trauma. My bad.

[@Kolossus_]

The unprecedented swagger of a mid 80's white guy

[@ashabahn]

I didn't catch the "wives/wife's underwhelming cooking" bit! That's why I love watching your reacts, catching things I didnt! 😁 I love this song so much!!

[@nicolejohnson1787]

You laughing makes my day, man. I love your reactions, especially to Bo. But seriously, getting your sleep is more important. Take care of yourself. WE care about YOU.

I’m lucky to be able to make them and have you watching with me 🙏

[@userid272]

Love your Bo reactions! If you’re running out of songs, can you maybe react to a compilation of him? One called Bo Burnham is Savage af is mainly a bunch of standup moments, and one called Bo Burnham moments that live in my head rent free is mainly funny moments from interviews and stuff

[@Leah-li5ch]

1985 is my favourite!!! But you should definitely listen to ‘The future’

[@lisarooney6930]

Love watching you!

[@spooder-gwyn]

when he said "PAPA" i started laughing so hard and my dad was like what are you laughing at and I was like 0v0 umm nothing

[@PatrickHogan]

For Bo Burnham, The Future is short but sweet. I think you already did the Kanye Rant but I don’t think you’ve done Are You Happy, which is the follow up to it and is filmed in the same room as Inside. The alternate version of All Eyes on Me is great.

[@annewilliamson6261]

I need to find #cliffbeats reaction to the Kanye Rant. That song! At the 5 minute mark, it’s like Pringle’s, Burritos, going to the gym? Record scratch! Forgotten! Wow! 🤔🔥🤯

i second the alt version of all eyes on me. it’s beautiful

Tom Lehrer used to throw you off the rhyme in the same way. I think that is why I took to him immediately.

[@IShowSlow0]

I have trouble believing this was published in 2022 it has the 80s vibes

“Some white guys were… Italian..” One of the funniest lines in the song

The future! - bo burham

[@unclefoot]

I was still little more than a twinkle in my dads eye in 1985. And by eye, I mean nutsack. And by nutsack, I mean a fish named Susan that lived a happy life for another 2 years before being digested by my dad. And by Susan, I mean the amino acids that make up the proteins inside her flesh that my dad’s intestines broke back down into amino acids before being re-assembled into new proteins that then went into said nutsack via bloodstream. I gotta stop commenting on videos while high. Sweet reaction though!

[@angusarcher5773]

This video is so ironic. Bo literally has a section in his special where he shows how stupid and mindless the reaction content is and how they just steal the hard work of others and play it off for views adding nothing. Just speaking reassurance of reaction and feeling of what it was like to first experience it. Just why?

[@oreo_innit_gacha1882]

"The future" is a good one but it's super short , maybe add it to another song.

I think you've only got some short ones left off the outtakes, you could do them all in one video. They're Bezos III and IV, Spider, and Biden. I don't think you're missing any others.

[@jhf893]

Stephen Lynch might be a good next choice if you are looking for more singing comediants. I would start with "Waiting" or "Grandfather" but most of his songs have me laughing my ass off.

[@skins4thewin]

I'm sorry but this song is so sick!

dude for real if you started a patreon i would sub for you just to watch inside and see your reactions 100%. it’s an incredible special to experience and i would love to see your reactions 🙏😩

I could never charge anyone to pay to watch my videos. That’s not who I am. I wish I had the time to sit down and watch a full special with everyone. Maybe one day if I can go live and do it I will!
