Honestly that has to be the _best_ evil villain laugh I have _ever_ heard. Doesn't matter how many times I hear it, I instantly get chills and shivers down my spine. This song really does showcase how the internet went from this innocent "connecting people with similar interests together", to the crazy addictive, controlling nightmare-fest it is today _so_ incredibly well.

[@modifidious7171]

Doesn't beat Mark Hamil's Joker laugh though.

I wouldn't say it's depressingly true but terrifyingly true.

[@preseasonedcookware1093]

And it “Did all the things we designed it to do”… you are most likely holding your cage in the palm of your hand. It worked, there is no going home, the carnival is here to stay.

[@iansheppard4529]

My favorite line is when he says “mommy let you use her iPad. You were barely 2. And it did all the things we designed it to do. Now look at you”. Because it sounds so sweet, the way he says it. But really what it was doing, was addicting that generation to screens. Access to them at such a young age created a dependency for “a little bit of everything all of the time”.

[@JTByrd386]

That laugh is so perfectly joyless. It so completely captures everything we hoped for, and the infinite, cyclic void left in its stead.

[@wolfinouout]

When he wrote this song, he wanted it to have a eerie, creepy, but yet fun vibe. To show why the Internet can Be scary yet fun.

[@TaskMaster5]

He starts it out like he's a circus barker trying to beckon curious passers by with something wild, crazy and fun: The internet. Look at all this stuff it can do for you! And yet behind the mask, the internet has a lot of horrible in it. Him mixing in all the shocking, horrible things yet slots it in between a bunch of positive, fun things but says it all so cheery and happy like it's all a good thing. How the internet went from being something of a utility, a luxury and having some purpose despite being limited. And now it's evolved to the point where it's basically taken over. People spend way more time online than they do off. Bombarded by notifications from every single app on your phone to get you online again, to engage with whatever topic the algorithm thinks will make you click. A little bit of everything all of the time.

[@AirQuotes2962]

This devil persona of his should have been the villain in Ralph Breaks the Internet and this should've been his villain song. It does such good job showing EVERY aspect of the internet: increased connectivity, helpful tips, support, but also addiction, overexposure and a showcase of the more disgusting aspects of humanity that some didn't even know existed prior.

[@rodrigoespinoza4833]

this would actually be a jewel of cinema for the years to come

[@rodrigoespinoza4833]

I love how different the facial expressions of people who are actually listening and reacting are

[@andrewthornton2884]

You're not too far off, but you slightly misunderstood the part about the mom letting you use the iPad. It's not that you used to just use it a little and now we use it a lot. It's that we use it a lot because we used to use it a little. That these devices like iPads are designed to be highly addictive. That's what he's saying by "it did all the things we designed it to do." The modern internet and these devices are designed to trap us all online, to make us live our lives on the internet. It didn't start that way. Back in the 90s the internet was something we used, but it didn't dominate the lives of the vast majority of those who used it. We'd get on and read a few message boards, maybe join a chat room for an hour here or there, but it was something you used an hour or two a day, maybe. Often much less. Now we're all online all the time. We're almost all addicted. Kids didn't even have a chance, their parents put them online from a young age and it literally rewires how their brains work. Those of us who didn't grow up on these modern devices have a hard enough time putting our devices down, but kids who use these devices from a young age don't even realize its strange, its just the way the world has always worked for them. Which of course was the goal. Bo here is playing the evil carnival barker of your nightmares as an manifestation of the internet itself.

[@lanmandragoran8337]

I mean, you're right, but you missed the point as well. "It wasn't always like this"....there WERE no Ipads. Smart phones didn't exist. internet speeds were in kbps, not MBs+. The "it did all the things we designed it to do" is correct throughout its iterations to brainwash and pacify a population....but her core theory WAS wrong, just not in the way you said. XD

[@meloneo]

doesnt hit as hard without watching the special

[@albomusicman85]

@@meloneo that’s true!

[@MeganTheLibrarian3]

Yes, but she needs to at least have watched the songs referenced in that one first. Maybe doing Comedy and Goodbye in the same video would be good because they sort of make bookends of the special. But it would also be nice if she's heard Well Well Look Who's Inside Again first as well.

[@nuncapasaran9374]

I dunno if this is the way he intended it, but I took "here's a nine-year-old who died" as an anchor point between the ramp up and the darker part of the song. Mainly because it's couched between other silly shit like fantasy sports or whatever. It's like scrolling social media--because a child dying is one of the most devastating catastrophic moments in the lives of so many people connected to that child. And the song's pace makes it so we can't even focus on it. Like we almost forget he said it. Then it flips, where the majority is dark shit with a few little silly things thrown in. Pretty much nailed "the internet."

[@ElisaH_DarklyiShine]

The "if the Internet had a Disney villain song" very well done. Love Bo. If you go older Bo to current Bo you see his progression as an artist and his mental state. The ones you've chosen to react to are great. I Also like "from God's perspective" , "country song", "art is dead" All his songs are funny but with deeper layers and meaning

[@hellomynameisbob922]

Bo's song "That Funny Feeling" is great too. Probably want the lyrics in-hand, there's a lot of references

[@Hattnissen]

"...just nod or shake your head and we'll do the rest." is in my opinion such a clever way of describing the algorithmic way of the internet today. Say yes and you'll get more, say no and you'll get more of something else. There is no actual "no" it's just "not that", there will always be something else. You just keep sitting there and nod or shake your head, we will indeed take care of the rest 😈

[@davidwright4201]

I vote for left brain, right brain for another Bo Burnham reaction. It's one of his older ones, his timing in that is absolutely amazing!

[@jeremypacailler]

Bo Burnham is levels ahead of most "comedians" you see today in my opinion. What makes him truly outstanding is his introspectiveness, which you haven't seen much of yet from the songs you have reacted to thus far. Also his ability to articulate is just next level. He is also a true musician because he does write all his music. This song was not exactly at the beginning of his special but the song Comedy was the first song of his special inside. It kind of gives a preface to the entire special.

[@lucasloponi626]

Its hard for me just even to say that "comedy" is what he does. So... What the f he could be? Well, remove the fun part and we have a Philosopher on stage. ...Thats kinda weird too.

Awesome reaction!!! This song really does show off Bo’s talent as a both a word smith as well as a world builder. The more you watch of Bo’s work, you’ll find that even though his commentary has always been honest, he has refined his craft of expression repeatedly over the years. Loving the Bo reactions, keep ‘em comin!!! Cheers

I honestly laughed out loud when she said “oh. It’s so jolly”, knowing what was to come! Haha

[@DentonMachuga]

Art is dead is a really great song by Bo Burnham. It is my absolute favorite.

[@sinswept]

It's really well crafted because it gives you the sense of going down an internet rabbit hole. It starts out pretty normal, but rapidly gets more and more extreme and radicalized. 100% modern villain.

[@shawnstetsko8443]

Inside is very interesting because a lot of it doesn't really have the same immediate appeal his earlier stuff has, but it is way more cohesive than even the stuff he did earlier (and that is saying something). It is true art.... which is scary, because it is hard to top and may be his apex. I hope not of course... he has so much to offer.

[@shawnstetsko8443]

I assume you are a fan of Tim Minchin already... if not, explore his work.

[@shawnstetsko8443]

(oh... the music is classic circus music. That might add a bit of an extra thought onto it all).

[@WilhelmKönigII]

You may want to listen to “My Whole Family”, also by Bo Burnham.

[@jrod1591]

[@justaguy6129]

I'm sure everyone is up for Bo, but if you want to mix it up you may want to check out one of Bo's inspirations, Tim Minchen. Prejudice If I Didn't Have You Inflatable You

[@DjDarkD]

Hans Teeuwen is also one of his inspirations.

[@DudeLongcouch]

Another great reaction vid! My recommendations: For more Bo Burnham: some of his slightly older stuff like Country Song, Repeat Stuff (the live version from "what"), or Art is Dead (the live version from The Green Room) For other good reaction vids: literally anything with Bill Burr

[@joank.5957]

His "From God's Perspective" is a MUST

[@RyanofLordran]

This man is a Genius! He will make you laugh and will make you feel guilty about laughing, but craving more. You should really check the entirety of Inside, and I also recommend watching From God's Perspective

Bo Burnhams - That funny feeling . plz react to it soon

[@RaefonB]

Hi Amy Jane - not sure if it's a jokey deliberate thing(?) but 'internet' is misspelled in your thumbnail and just in case not: I think it's possible to change that even after video is published? :) I agree he's talented. 'Art is Dead' is another awesome Bo Burnham song, by the way, but a bit older than his 'Inside' show.

[@bigjbum]

Would love to see you react to Tim Minchin "Prejudice".

[@DragonKing1915]

Most of the songs from Inside can be watched out of order except for Goodbye. Leave it to the ead as it is the last song in the special and you kinda need to have watched many of the previous songs to fully understand it. Apart from that watch the other songs in any order you like.

[@maniblondelly]

So good! If you wanna try something completely different check out lowkey and akala fire in the booths

[@Yes-hi3tv]

You should maybe try to react to packgod

[@malyvo0]

This song is just for another audience. It's so much more worrysome for us, millenials and older, who actually remeber the old times... And Bo being a millenial himself...

[@alexandercebulla2328]

If you do like comedic history in the form of music, I definitely recommend Pasadena 1994 by Nanowar of Steel. Not sure if you are a fan of European metal, but worth a listen.

[@williameleno]

Please take the chance to react to his song "Repeat Stuff w/ music video" as it is very similar to this.

[@julialeslie692]

Please watch art is dead! Also, his skit. named Shakespeare from Words Words Words is a great showcase of his lyrical genius

[@emilymartin5806]

May I suggest a reaction to Billie Eilish’s music video for Happier Than Ever

[@simenkvamme3003]

Back in his day many of Bo's songs were raps, so no wonder he knows how to speak fast. Also, Inside is a comedy special on Netflix, not an album.

[@stevenbethel1351]

Gott love Bo😂 , you should do reactions to TheDooo or Billy Wilkins ! Just beware cause they sing and joke with people on Omegle so some of the humor can be pretty crude haha 😂 but If you know what Omegle is you probably know that’s

[@JonHolida2]

To switch from Bo but stick with the comedy song theme. Check of Flight of the Conchords, I would recommend Hippopotamus vs the Rhymenocerous. The live version instead of the clip from their show

[@quorn23]

Left brain, right brain is one I would love to nominate from Bo. Or from God's perspective. The first one a bit sillier, but both have a great depth.

[@SandSlash242]

I mean the special is better to react to than just the album since you'll have more context

[@Israel-IS-Socialism]

I just realized that him speaking about “Obama sent the immigrants to vaccinate your kids” Has to do with when Obama made domestic propaganda an international propaganda legislation

[@jimhawkins132]

We of the Cult of Babymetal would kindly suggest that you react to BABYMETAL DEATH | Legend 1997 (Complete)

This song is pretty okay to watch seperate from "Inside" but many MANY points in Inside don't make a huge amount of sense without watching them in order.

[@makudonarudokairu]

I'm sure you'd like to react to others, but I'd love to see your reaction to Bo Burnham's "how the world works" Other stuff to react to: Music: - NF (Story, how could you leave us, let you down) - Babymetal (Karate) - Half Alive (Did I make you up) - Twenty One Pilots (Car Radio) - Falling in Reverse (watch the world burn) Comedians: - Jim Gaffigan - Shayne Smith - Dry Bar Comedy - Robbing Wendy's with an Alligator - Sammy J and Randy - Ballad Other stuff: - Candy from around the world (or desserts) - Cheap food hacks (and trying them) - Comparing things of different quality / price - Things you are a fan of with new updates (movie trailers, new music releases, new books, clothes, makeup, etc.) The best is stuff you can provide interesting comments to, not just shock / laugh each time. Just my 2cents. Keep up the good work and keep building!

I feel like "Apathy's a tragedy and bordom is a crime" is backwards. The aliteration isn't as good, but "Bordom is a tragedy and apathy's a crime" is more true. It's tragic to be bored for any length of time. It's criminal to not have an emphatic stance on .

[@terminatrix92]

Why do reactors always respond to the quality of the music and lyrics without really reflecting on the meaning?? The laugh is scary and manic because the internet is scary and manic, the lyrics are disturbing because Bo essentially wants people to see how messed up our relationship to the internet is and I guess do something about it! But it’s like people who participate in that cycle don’t really want to acknowledge it?? After all Bo literally has a song skewering reactors…

[@Piktro]

Most people don’t overanalyze the songs on their first listen. You and I may have certain expectations going into the reaction, knowing what the songs are about, having the context of the specials, reading the comment sections, etc. but reactors often don’t have that understanding until they dive deeper into his body of work.

[@terminatrix92]

@@Piktro accept the meaning of the song is extremely explicit. Even in isolation it’s clear that Bo is representing the internet as twisted and dangerous. Reactors don’t respond to that because it’s like saying their society is screwed up or that social media is inherently narcissistic. Bo is more an artist than an entertainer; he wants people to think not just comment on how cool he is

[@Piktro]

@@terminatrix92 so your problem is that the reactor didn’t focus enough on the morbid truths, but rather kept it light hearted? Some people see the world with a more optimistic viewpoint, and not everybody is ready to face certain truths. Not everybody wants to either, and that’s fine. The irony here is that you seem to be blaming the reactors for participating in “this cycle”, but here we are commenting on it, indulging in it, viewing the same content tens, if not hundreds of times, all in search for someone who thinks exactly the same way we do, because of our need to feel seen, and our desire to be right. We’re no different, and you’re lying to yourself if you don’t think your consumption of this is part of the very same problem you’re describing.

[@terminatrix92]

@@Piktro so you’re saying all people are in denial about the state of the internet, especially content creators, so I should accept that and be less argumentative? And you think I’m the cynical one?! Isn’t it just patronising to hand out effusive praise when a reactor takes a positive message from an inherently cynical song?? I’m not abusive I’m encouraging critical thought and discussion. Comments should be a place for debate and thoughtfulness not just blind support or outrage. And that’s a hopeful view of the internet!

[@Piktro]

@@terminatrix92 not even close, but if that's how you interpreted my comment, fine. I didn't say you were cynical, but you're reaching pretty far by saying she's patronizing him. She added her own commentary about how true everything he said is, how people are glued to their phones/ipads, how she thinks he is a genius, complimented his musical abilities, etc. but because an 18 year old girl isn't sitting here crying, getting introspective, and creating her own Inside special, you're making the assumption that she doesn't care, or doesn't want to admit there's a problem. It's beyond ignorant to believe that the meaning is explicit to everyone, or that any single person can approach this short video with no notion, or even a pre-conceived idea of who Bo is, and feel the same way you do, react the same way you do, pick up on the same things you did. It's also ignorant to assume that just because she didn't do a thought provoking monologue that she's avoiding the discussion, or that you know exactly what Bo's intentions were. You claim to want discussion, but you're entering into the conversation in bad faith and dismissing all opposing viewpoints, as if they somehow hold less value than yours.
