First time Hearing | Bo Burnham - Can't Handle This (Kanye Rant) Reaction

[@OldManLoxx]

This was the last song in his last special before "Inside". If you remember the dialogue from "All eyes on me" (the first song from inside) he talks about how he had to quit for 5 years due to his panic attacks on stage and all he was going through, this song is somewhat of a tie in with that. What really gets me with this song is the screams at the end, they are just piercing, even without the context. As for more traditional Bo, I would certainly encourage you to listen to "Country Song", "From the perspective of God" and "You think you know me". All would provide great material for your analytical nature and attention to lyrics and messaging.

[@CaelenSawyers]

Correction: All Eyes On Me was not the first song on Inside, it's essentially the final song just like this one is, other than the closing songs that both specials have

[@sunxel3264]

He meant the first song he reacted to from inside

[@NattyNickDxB]

He needs to do all of bo

[@curtisholsinger6023]

Wait, I'm familiar with "We Think We Know You," is there another song called "You Think You Know Me?"

[@CaelenSawyers]

@@sunxel3264 I see, that makes sense

[@Kno_Buddy]

Yes, this is him taking the piss out of Kanye’s rant, but it’s also a metaphor for his own mental health issues dealing with his depression and anxiety as well as his being uncomfortable with fame and all the things it brings with it. He keeps going to make us happy even though it is detrimental to his own mental health hence why he ended it with “I hope you’re happy” and the whole special is called Make Happy.

He was actively having a panic attack at the end of that song. He talked about it in an interview that the screams were just him trying to get through to the end of the song because he could barely form words at that point

I love how insanely deep the Chipotle section gets once he turns serious... at first it seems like just a silly commentary on burritos, but then he talks about not being able to handle his fame and the pressure, and then he goes back to not being able to fit everything into the burrito and it becomes a weird but powerful metaphor for life. Absolutely genius.

[@laumotan8862]

while i do agree that it becomes very powerful that way, bo has confirmed that that was not how he was intending it. he intended it to be him just shutting up, saying something funny and hiding how he was truly feeling. I think both explanations are cool, and look at it how you will, but it's important to remember the original intention as well.

[@danielwood8135]

@@laumotan8862 I heard him say that too, it just seems like too much of a coincidence but who am I to argue with the guy the wrote it lol Maybe there's an explanation somewhere in the idea of subconscious becoming conscious in ways we don't realize in the moment.

[@evebaker-roberts1127]

i see that. like somebody should have told him that the more he added to his fame, the less he would be able to keep himself together, and would end up breaking... he wouldn't have chosen the fame if he had known before that the lettuce, the peppers would all fall out. its a nice interpretation

[@ScottMStolz]

​@@laumotan8862 Sometimes the subconscious says something the conscious mind doesn't realize. He may have not realized he was making a metaphor but since it's the perfect metaphor, that's probably why he thought of it when he did. Subconsciously he knew it was the perfect metaphor.

[@DakotaSG]

I resonate with the line "try to give you what he cannot give himself" so much. tbh I'm only really happy when I'm making others happy. Bo is one of my favorite people to watch/listen to perform because a lot of what he says hits home for me. Depression is fun :D I would recommend you continue to listen to his stuff, and just know that almost every song has more than one meaning, much like Eminem, Bo's songs are mostly double entandres, as in they are fronted as being about one thing, but also have deeper meaning

[@TM-np5lq]

But the guts it took to create a quiet, intimate moment and, in the lone spotlight, directly lay his feelings bare with, " A part of me hates you,/ fears you,/ needs you"... the raw honesty just stuns me every time. Anyone who dismisses him because it's comedy and Kanye is the inspiration should see Kanye doesn't have the balls to be so earnest, authentic, and therefore profound and powerful.

[@mrindfleisch1289]

Bo Burnham is an absurdist comedian, which is why he can speak so well as a voice of our generation. As any true artist his work is unappreciated in his time, and he has this amazing message that cuts to the core of our modern style of living. He's absolutely amazing. I'm glad you found him. Please keep listening. Especially Art Is Dead.

[@peterpike]

I agree except for the "unappreciated in his time" part, because Bo has TONS of appreciation all over the place, and he's critically acclaimed too. For example, "Inside" has 94% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes and 93% audience score. While it is often the case that many artists are unappreciated in their time, there are many more who are, we just focus on the ones who aren't because their tragic trajectory tells a better story.

[@mrindfleisch1289]

I feel like even after Inside I know plenty of people who have no idea who he is, or maybe heard a snip of one of his songs on TikTok. Before Inside I felt I was completely alone in naming him as my favorite performer.

[@andrew348]

@@mrindfleisch1289 So where is the line when not appreciated becomes appreciated? When 200 million people know your name? 600 million? 3 billion? Millions know of the Kardashians, doesn't mean they appreciate them.

[@hitismeduh]

@@mrindfleisch1289 I think this is maybe generational? I was in high school when "I'm Bo Yo" blew up and it was constantly quoted by everyone in my class.

[@JustAMagicDuck]

This really is genius. It’s all about his desire to tell simple, relatable jokes that will give him an easy laugh and approval from the audience(what’s the deal with Pringle’s cans, amiright?) versus wanting to talks about what he truly feels which might feel cathartic and authentic for him but could alienate the audience whose approval he craves.

[@winnugami]

The big impact on this one is that it was his last song of his last live performance before his 5 year hiatus. Many speculate that the burrito part is him talking about how no one warned him about everything that came with the fame and if he had known before he got it, he would never have gone this route with his life. This is part of what led to the panic attacks he mentions in Inside.

[@LikeUhBaas]

My favorite interpretations I've heard so far are the Pringles can is him struggling to get everything out of life/ his search for happiness and the burrito being fame like you said or like the Pringles so many things filling his life fame, money, family, etc he just took on so much that his "burrito" was too full

[@Scarfaze724]

@@LikeUhBaas Bo has said that people are kind of reaching for a meaning in those things.

[@TheSoulGambit]

@@Scarfaze724 That's ultimately what the point of art is though. It's entirely subjective. If people can find meaning in that big fuckoff metal bean, surely they can find their own meaning in his lyrics, even if HIS meaning was to just mock someone.

[@QuestionableLifeChoices]

yeah, this one is a punch to the chest once he strips away all the metaphors (simplified: something not quite fitting like it should and no one warning him about taking on too much) and gets to the heart of the issue

[@Crona_Gowther_Kanato]

Oh god, every one of your reactions seems very thoughtful & with much care. This is easily, hands down, one of my favorite songs by Bo Burnham, but anyone who really knows Bo, knows this turned out to be way bigger, way more than just a song. I consider it a ballad, a real heartfelt send off. As this was the last thing he performed before his 5 year long hiatus. I felt the emotion ringing through so very clear it really brought me to tears the first time I saw it. I sincerely hope you enjoy it & appreciate it for what it’s worth~ 💯

[@zach1972]

This wasn't his exact last performance, this wasn't the end of his tour, after the tour he just didn't perform again

[@mrblaqfyre3130]

When you look at it as a whole the Burrito and the pringles can are metaphors for the pressures of fame. the can represent those that complain about not understanding his deeper jokes and getting only vague understanding when they try to look deeper into his material. the Burrito represents all the aspects of his career that he has to juggle to be relevant with the guy making the burrito being his agent and fans.

[@hotarukin]

The cheers when he starts singing about burritos again after pouring his heart out, then saying he should just do his job *always* gets me.

[@rrael]

Looking back it's really sad knowing about his panic attacks on stage. This song was his way of letting the audience in on the truth / joke without it being obvious if it IS actually a joke. I'm so glad he took some time off to get to a better place. Too bad for the pandemic hitting right when he finally felt confident enough to return to the stage.

[@system0fadowner251]

Yeah, but on the other hand, the pandemic gave us one of the most personal and deep projects he's ever made, and I'm thankful he made it. 2020 was such an insane year.

@Gee-Money That seems to be the common story, but it's not quite true. He WAS suffering panic attacks from performing, and this WAS his last live tour before his break, but he did this act several more times on tour after the recording and as per interviews he wasn't having a panic attack right here.

Songs like this are exactly why I like watching reactions like yours. I remember hearing this soing and thinking, "Hey that's funny AND catchy. I like it!" but never really thinking too hard about the lyrics at the end of the song. Then I watched a reaction where someone got really emotional and started talking about the struggles of mental health, and it really hit me. Now when I listen to the song, it just hits different. Now I think a little bit more about the lyrics. Now I really feel the song. This is beautiful music.

[@connorpeters9764]

This song and the one immediately after this one in the special called 'Are you happy?' Flow into All eyes on me. Bo was struggling during the show can hear it in his voice towards the end of the song.

[@davefckuall5300]

This was the last song on his make happy tour the last one he did before he took his break from comedy until inside was his next but from home

[@JWBLegend]

The end of this song still gives me chills. Also, the Pringles and the burrito are metaphors for his career. The Pringles represent his struggles starting out as a comedian. "only get like 4" into the can." But when, once he blew up on KZbin "So they all go spilling onto my face" he was overwhelmed at such a young age with the fame. the burrito is a similar message. "Dude, you shoulda warned me. You shoulda told me halfway through, you might be reaching maximum burrito capacity here." Is his asking why nobody told him how life would change, and how unhappy it would make him.

[@Tony-ui7tr]

That is... one hell of a stretch. More likely knowing Bo's work is that the Pringles and the Burritos have no meaning at all and is just a make funny verse.

[@iainmcguire7190]

They're not metaphors. He did an interview where he was asked about that, and explicitly said they weren't

[@nivekeryas]

In this special, Bo was not controlling the lighting. He hired a lighting person and worked with them when he was developing the show. It was all rehearsed and, I assume, the lighting is preprogrammed. But also maybe someone was doing it live. Either way, Bo isn't controlling it.

The audience is the customer and Bo is the burrito. In his head he didn't want to become the "messy burrito". The metaphor is so cleverly constructed I didn't get it for years.

[@tas2583]

Something that stands out to me and I really appreciate is how the first two "mundane/lighter" verses are not just simply humorous setups for the more serious third verse, but are actually describing the escalating situation. The hand is "too big" to fit into the can, and the burrito is over-stuffed and coming apart at the seams (and those who should know better didn't warn him). Its basically Bo's career progression. He starts off big (viral/internet fame) trying to fit into mainstream (1st verse), he takes on more and more but can't handle it (2nd verse), but still has to perform, thus his breakdown is public (3rd verse).

[@JoeyJoJo85]

Great analogy. Now shut up about your mental health and do your job that you have signed contracts to and sing about haha funny burritos and pringles

[@brainsniffer]

It blew my mind the first time I saw it, and each time I hear it I laugh and smile as it builds, and then I get emotional and a wrenching as it goes into the personal part…. It’s so relatable, sad, and so well produced to make it feel like a communion, all of us sharing and understanding… it’s great.

[@wolverine2272]

I believe the whole song is a metaphor. The Pringles can: reaching for happiness that he can't seem to obtain. Chipotle burrito: Filling his life with things and people who don't matter and eventually he can't contain the stress from it all. Bo Burnham is an amazing comedian and person. He is one of the most underrated artist of this generation. I hope he continues to get better even after his last special.

One of the most impactful things about this song is I remember when Bo started out just making funny KZbin vids, and this was just such a startling departure from his usual silliness...one hell of a way to announce quitting comedy. Beautiful that he was able to bring it full circle with Inside, which not only included "All eyes on me" which is a direct sequel to this song, but also tied into how he used to make videos in the late 2000s

[@niakitten2937]

Bo is an amazing creator who meshes his talent for music and comedy into a wonderful symposium of pure silk for the ears. It's often said, most if not all good creative people battle some sort of disorder in the mental facilities and it's very obvious that Bo was trying really hard to push out and give what he wanted himself in an attempt to feel what it was like. I hope he eventually got on track mentally but the results of his journey are obvious and, dare I say not just inspirational and/or moving/eye-opening but he is most certainly a leading figure in this weird music-comedy niche'.

Started watching Bo when he was just a kid posting funny songs on KZbin. Like most good comedians , he's actually pretty smart. At 20, he was on an episode of Showtime's The Green Room with Judd Apatow, Ray Romano, ?arc Maron and Garry Shandling and not only held his own, but actually got a lot of respect. That's top flight writer/director, one of the most successful sitcom actors, a "comedians" comedian, and and a stand up legend. No other young comedian pulled that off. Jaimie Kilstein looked like an Grade-A douche in his appearance. Burnham is super-self aware and is good at translating that without looking like a massive narcist. He's also a super talented producer, maybe even better at producing a show than actually performing and I do like his performances. It's just his stage production is next level. Also, the burrito bit is a metaphor for his problems with fame and success. That he wasn't prepared for everything that came with success. Normally a woe-is-me rant complaining about wealth and fame isn't a real crowd pleaser. But Burnham is smart enough to put a twist on it.

This is the man who wasn't afraid to say on international television about George Bush's obvious racism towards black people during the hurricanes.

Bo has been deconstructing his perspective as a creator by steadily evolving his understanding of the nature of performance vs self. He is really good this is one of my favorite pieces of his. The moment when a few of those very simple very real moments hit is always good to see. The comedy setup is so effective at disarming and drawing focus in that when those simple truths all performers and creatives feel get thru it lands a bit heavier. Art is cool like that

you communicate a surprising amount by how you stare at the camera, I enjoy it.

I saw this act live and there’s no way a video does it justice. The show and this Kanye part was a once and a life time experience.

Thank you for always having the lyrics available! It drives me crazy when reactions just disregard the lyrics completely. I like your content a lot!

WATCH “WE THINK WE KNOW YOU”!!!!! It’s also by Bo Burnham, and probably the best work he’s ever done

[@j.ascension7]

I seen him perform this live in San Diego in 2015, his shows are unforgettable. Definitely worth watching a whole special, I recommend "What"

Bo Burnham has been famous since he was in middle school. He did comedy songs on KZbin, back in the early days. That can't be easy.

Bo is a sheer and utter genius! When he comes UK i am THERE!! 🤘🫂

The way i read this whole song (which is still one of my favourites of his) is that he starts out with an actual joke being the pringles can bit to first of poke fun at kanye but also to (as he later points out) do what he was supposed to do and what the audience wants him to do. The second bit about the burrito starts the same way but then steadily evolves into something with more meaning to it as he describes how no one warned him that he was putting too much on his plate and that there is no way back from there. So the burrito part is a metaphor about him not knowing what he'd gotten himself into by becoming famous. And at last he is trying to be open about all of it and talking about how is trying to put all of this into what he does and in the meantime figuring out how to deal with the aftermath of it all.

no matter who we are... those of us that do stuff be it stream, youtube or whatever... we all go through the samething no matter how strong you are. you have you moments and sometimes you beat yourself up more than anyone else. we all go through it. to face it is hard. for those of us that faced it and kept going... good on you. for those who stopped, i understand. i know singers in person who couldnt face it in the early 2000s. its not the making of the songs and studio. it was the concerts. its hard. its more pressure than you know and i respect anyone who tries and also those who make it through the fight. its not easy. no matter how solid you feel, you will be your most vulnerable in front of your audience. for the audience, be kind to these performers be it video or in person. they are putting themselves out there when most people cant even get that far because they fear it so much they cant start... these people are there through it all. the reason there is a 27 club... society didnt realize the struggles those great artist went through at that time. its just now being realized because more people are facing it. words hurt. keep that in mind before you spout off. they can kill.

btw, sorry for saying all this on your profile but this song shows so much of all of us content creators go through internally. im not big. i still feel it. ive always been there for everyone. i have only two people who has ever been there for me. my wife and a friend i have known for over 20 years who ive only meet in person 3 times. without them, i would probably be a mess. i rarely show emotions other than love for my wife and friends who are super close. yes comedy is an outlet for us who deal with a lot. very few know my past. those who do help me deal with it and the others, im sad to say fear me. im a creation of my dad who used my talents at the age of 5 and up to strike fear into adults. thats all i can legally say but i realized that i was being used by him and turned my life choices around and became a person for good. all i want to do is make people happy and keep them from feeling the pain i feel every day of my life. for every win i get daily, thats a plus in my book. and that is should how we all should be. dont take people down with you. give them the platform the need because that helps you move yourself up inside. its the best feeling ever and trust me... ive felt every version. do it for them... you will feel better for it if its true and for them. you cant lie to yourself.

[@FredrikJansson1]

Please give us more BO! Bo is a god. We need more BO! BOBO!

[@SheanaOBrien1985]

[@joesephkroll2056]

[@TheFacrecords]
