FIRST TIME REACTING TO | BO BURNHAM "LOWER YOUR EXPECTATIONS" REACTION

[@InedibleMattman]

Okay, if you’re going down the rabbit hole that is Bo, you just got a subscription. This man … he has single handedly redefined comedy for me. He is a genius, and I hope you continue to enjoy him as much as I have! 🎉

[@brittreacts]

I love him! More to come!

[@BradB93]

I was introduced to Bo when he was still making videos in his room. He’s hilarious and he has only gotten better since! (Hello!Netflix!) 😆 But, you gotta start from his early work. His earliest hit was “I’m Bo Yo”. Good stuff! One of my favorites is “From God’s perspective”. Offensive to some. But, it’s actually really good if you pay attention to the theme of the lyrics 😁

[@TheYuleTube]

Same.

[@Scorbutic]

It's "burn-um" btw. Would love to see you react to more of his stuff! He's really great especially his Inside special that came out a few years ago.

[@brittreacts]

Ok, “Burn-um”… got it!

[@42Mrgreenman]

@@brittreacts Check out his song Words Words Words, he pronounces his name, and uses it in a word play, telling people to, "Let Bo Burnham burn 'em." It's a joke, wordplay, and pronunciation lesson all-in-one...Bo is indeed a genius...

[@ThatguyPurps]

@S Crosmun I've seen many Americans over pronounce the ham part of Burnham. I think it's just how things are pronounced differently. Same when they say Kookaburra as cook-a-boo-ra... We all speak English yet can't understand each other 🤣🤷‍♂️

[@markyochoa]

Make this a running joke

[@geraldspencer8679]

Nah, nah, no! He's BurnHAM! HAM! 🐷🐷🐷🐷 He's the other white meat! 😀

[@jerehelle3520]

Bo actually is really smart. He got into Harvard but decided not to attend because of his pursuit of a career in comedy.

[@shanajeangedeon9060]

I personally love the small detail of the girl verse saying "lower your expectations *a few* " vs the guys verse being "lower your expectations *a lot* "😂

[@ralphkern380]

Being an "old guy" and seeing everything old become new again... I enjoy this guy a lot because he reminds me of Tom Lehrer. Different kind of humor (Tom did political satire) but delivered in much the same way. Great reaction and congrats on passing 30K.

[@CheckersMcGavern]

I love Bo. He's so damn smart and creative, but also self-aware enough to throw in those moments of self deprecating humor and introspection. He's GenZ's version of George Carlin.

[@42Mrgreenman]

Totally agree...I'm 38, so I grew up with the later Carlin who started to inject more and more philosophy into his act. But yeah, I noticed a similar thing that Bo does, he'll get you chuckling with some straight up jokes or puns, then hit you with the existential inquiries...

[@colefilms]

Woah woah woah he’s millennials version of George Carlin

[@CheckersMcGavern]

@@colefilms Ah, yeah, I misjudged the age range. He's on the younger side of Millennials. But I'm sure plenty of GenZ'ers still appreciate him. Just like a lot of younger folks appreciated Carlin in his later years.

[@colefilms]

@@CheckersMcGavern definitely

[@hebrewhammer9068]

He really is a genius. He has so many of these gems. Gotta do more of him!

[@matthew6427]

Love it! Please do literally any/all of Inside and the outtakes 🙏🥺 Bo is a genius and I love watching reactions of people discovering his stuff.

[@ammamamma22]

First time watcher. My absolute favorite from Bo is titled “Can’t handle this right now/ Kanye rant.” It’s as genius as it is funny

[@pundett]

Please do this one.

[@CoryPuffett]

When the Inside special first came out I couldn't get enough of Bo and so I went down the rabbit hole of all the KZbin reaction channels reacting to him and loved that so many of them had just been introduced to him and went down the rabbit hole. Two years later I'm glad to find a new channel that's also recently started down that rabbit hole of discovering Bo. It gives me a chance to revisit his work through another new lens and so far you're reactions to his stuff have been among my favorites of any channel I've watched.

[@morbid1.]

singing comedy is very common in europe... troubadours, bards, cabaret, vaudeville,

[@brittreacts]

I had no clue!

[@Sleepgodx]

Amazing reaction, you listened and loved the music the way we all did and took the time to be present. You absolutely rock. Loved to love this with you =)

[@chrisschafer2843]

Thank you for another Bo reaction! Clicked, watched, liked.

[@justaguy6129]

Weird Al Yankovic, Tim Minchen and Bo Burnham are the top 3 in comedy music IMHO. Though Minchen doesn't have a huge library he is every bit as brilliant.

[@cwell510]

This guy is hilarious! I gotta share this clip with my friends! 😁

[@brittreacts]

HE IS SO FUNNY!!

[@JEFFwasHERE...]

Bo Burnham - Words, Words, Words

[@altepeter52]

If you are enjoying comedy music i highly recommend "NSP - Danny Don't You Know".

[@nateekis3982]

Bo has been a legend for a long time!! Check out “I’m Bo Yo”, “Repeat Stuff”, “Words,Words,Words”, etc.

[@theConquerersMama]

Oh Bo, My family thinks, right Brain/left brain

[@grrvaes]

Yeah. I like his new stuff, from Inside, that brought him to mainstream, but this old songs... from "Make Happy" and "what", that's what turned me into a fan. There are so many good ones.

[@Bobbyswagger50]

I love reaction videos because it validates my feelings of this man this creative genius I love bo bo! One of the most underrated artists to ever live, people get the word out bo is the goat!

[@danrudnick5252]

How the World Works is probably my favorite song of his. Not a false word spoken.

[@eldheimm]

It's also a great social commentary. So many women today wait themselves into their late cat-years because they won't settle, after their parents and society tells them they deserve a perfect prince and half the kingdom.

[@Jasmine-cw2yn]

bo burnham is amazing pleaseeeee do more girl....... i know you would crack up to "country song" and "five years"..... just two of so many hilarious songs by him 💗💗💗

[@educationalramblings6826]

Been a Bo fan for years now. Was a teacher for 27 years and actually used his Kanye rant as part of my last class. Ended it and told my students to Be Happy. Just came across your reactions for him and they have been awesome. Acknowledging the comedy while pointing out the larger issues he is addressing. Best of luck

[@ppmswiththewolfmant2818]

I love that you’re reacting to all the people that I’ve ever watched about my life I am 39 and I love it and your reactions are awesome and your statements are just right on. Keep doing what you doing

[@thanossnap4170]

Oh, lady. If you are in to the singing comedy, also check out Tim Minchin - Prejudice. It's so good! Tim Minchin is a genius like Bo.

[@BillyT603]

FYI it’s pronounced “burn-um”. I love your vibe and love watching you go down the journey of Bo’s videos. There’s still so much to uncover. I recommend “breakup song” for one more lighter video from this show, and then I think you’re ready to do the combo of “can’t handle this(Kanye rant) and then do “all eyes on me” right after.” After those, the amount of respect/admiration you have for him will have grown.

[@ThunderRoad1]

What a delightful personailty you have. Definitly will check out more of your reactions.

[@otlforumadmin]

Your energy is a whole vibe. Love it! Also man, Bo is so talented. Love this song.

[@unclefoot]

If you’re jumping down the Bo Burnham rabbit hole then I’ll be subscribing for that journey! It’s a hell of a ride. The dude’s one the most unique artists of our generation. A little background, he started out on KZbin making absurd/offensive songs on KZbin WAYYY back in 2006. He became the youngest person to ever get a record deal with Comedy Central, to ever get a half hour special, and a full length special. Dude made his first special “Words Words Words” before he was 20. He did 2 more specials-‘what.’ in 2013 and ‘Make Happy’ in 2015 and then took 5 years off from comedy. He made a movie during those years called “8th Grade” that is PHENOMENAL. In 2020 he made INSIDE and exploded back onto the internet zeitgeist. It won him 3 Emmy’s, a Grammy, and is the best “comedy” anything I’ve ever seen. You’ll find a lot of people recommending starting with his earliest stuff and moving your way forward. While this is the most linear path, just a warning…his early stuff was PEAK edgelord humor and a lot of it hasn’t aged that well. It’s still funny, but Bo’s made a lot of comments about how embarrassed he of his early stuff. All that being said, here’s a list of recommendations in no particular order: Welcome to the Internet Pandering Sad How the World Works From Gods Perspective Straight White Male #deep Words Words Words Art is dead 5 Years Rant. K*** Your**** (its under the title “problem solving” on KZbin) Comedy Repeat Stuff Oh Bo Left Brain, Right Brain All Eyes on Me Can’t Handle This (Kanye Rant) We Thing We Know You That Funny Feeling Hell of a Ride Problematic Breakup Song White Woman’s Instagram And a bunch more lol. Even if you don’t react to it, you gotta watch INSIDE in its entirety. It’s really something special. Keep ‘em coming! Cheers

[@hopsonkim4952]

This song is funny as hell but it’s also unironically great advice

[@boppityboopy114]

Bo Burnham “Love is” is one of my favs

[@ZChoate]

Bo is one of the most talented artists of any medium.

[@jonstephenson9660]

Totally dig your reactions.. btw, congrats, I’ve watched many reaction videos to this song, and you’re the first person to catch the “real doll” bit.. 😂👍

[@dumaskhan]

Hey, love your reaction. If you get the chance react to Daniel Sloss. Hes basically like Bo, but without the singing, and with the british humor that is just too good.

[@joaquintomorrowwefall8856]

Shout out to him for being tall like every tree and building.

[@tim.noonan]

You should watch his specials in chronological order. It puts them all into context that doing requests would rob you of. Especially for songs of his like Kanye Rant (Can’t Handle This) and All Eyes on Me, for example. They both hit like a ton of bricks, doubly so if you know what he went through.

[@theConquerersMama]

I agree and had just mentioned this. Granted you can watch those blind. They are complete works on their own. But watching Inside as a special or All Eyes on Me without the foundation of the other stuff is like starting eith Return of thr King as your first Lord of the Rings experience. Same with Kany Rant. It's phenomenal alone but with some context and foundation of seeing his other stuff first, you can appreciate the layers.

[@thecooltable9481]

Great reaction! I'm glad you are enjoying Bo's catalogue. He has so many great songs.

[@steviegreenthumb4720]

I love this one so much cause its like an inversion of the bo burnham sucker punch em with the dark turn thing he does, like this one starts off super critical and dark but it turns out to actually be a really sweet song after all aha

[@Chetloore]

Try out Tim Minchin. He an Australian Bo Burnham.

[@danrudnick5252]

Everything of Bo's is gold. After you go through his catalogue check out Stephen Lynch too.

[@Tribal260]

More bo is a must! love the channel

[@donovanbrink4634]

If you like Bo, you probably would get a kick out of Stephen Lynch "Live at the El Ray" ... it's a little older but there's some gold in that show. I would suggest "Talk to Me, Dad" or "Special Olympics"

[@arturh85]

great reaction, really enjoyed it :D please do more bo, left brain right brain

[@theConquerersMama]

Please go down the bo Rabbit hole. Like a lot if people, I discovered him when he was a 15/16 year old kid doing the edgelord thing. Insanely clever but definitely pushing buttons. He addresses that as a full grown man in Problematic. That said his stuff always has that satirical kernel of thought provoking truth. His ability to consistently do insightful, cross genre satire while also having a genuine hope that things/people can be better is a large part of what makes him a great artist. His stuff is what I would can performance art. Or that's what it became. His lighting design, attention to details. Down to planning his breathing. It's masterful. Enjoy the ride. And the built in ravenous fan base. Always a plus. Do watch some of the older stuff before you get to Kanye's Rant then All Eyes on Me. You don't have to but it helps lay a foundation to appreciate the layers more. Loving seeing your channel do so well.

[@Pragabond]

I love the continuing unintentional gag among reactors of no one being able to say Bo's last name. The fact you added another layer of misplacing letters in his name before settling onto the standard of "burn ham" before no doubt being double corrected on it in the comments is truly chef's kiss. The best bits are the ones other people do accidentally. Never change

@@andrewshirley9240 only reason for the side path to berman is thats what she said the first time she reacted to him. we agree of course thats its pronounced burnum. your mentions of de-emphasis etc. would be just as likely to confuse her as the berman mention, which is relevant. hopefully she keeps reacting to him, regardless of how she says his name.
