[Industry Ghostwriter] Reacts to: Bo Burnham- I’m Bo Yo- I CANT BELIEVE HE MADE THIS 🤣

[@catchmeifyouvan7754]

@@GefahrenHorst23 I literally just spelled it out to figure that one out. Super clever!

[@grabble7605]

"I'm gonna tarot - not the cards but the gypsies" is a criminally overlooked line. The ellipses line right after pulls all the focus and it's a fuckin' shame.

[@InDeathWeLove]

@@catchmeifyouvan7754 The crazy thing being that a bat is a hard long piece of "wood". So he is saying you're below him taking a hard long piece of "wood" out of your "basement" leaving just semen in your "basement". Way too many layers for what is effectively a crude innuendo line. Gotta love it.

It's funny you analyzed every line except for "taking the B-A-T out of BASEMENT". 😹 Love these, I really gotta check out some of your non-Bo vids, you're a sweet guy.

[@Bobal27]

I think he actually did analyze that one. Usually, I don’t give him credit for when he doesn’t show us he caught it. This one, though, it looked like he processed it, made a groaning face, and thought “I’m not explaining that one, let em think I missed it and ‘explain’ the semen bar to me.”

[@godzillaeyes]

1:20 Bo wasn't actually the one who started posting his videos. He has mentioned this in interviews before. When he first started showing up on YT he was 15 and his older brother was serving in the military overseas. To kind of help keep each other in good spirits and stay in touch they would send each other silly/funny videos. It was his older brother who originally made the Bo Burnham YT channel and started posting the videos because he believed in Bo's talent more than he did. If you look up "I'm Bo Yo" that was a video that was uploaded by his brother after Bo sent it to him.

[@jrayne6360]

Almost true but a little off. By 2008 Bo has already made hirst first album The Bo Show. What you're thinking of happened about 5 years prior to this video and I'm bo yo was made for his YT not his brother but Bo made similair videos for him.

[@joenothanks.8660]

Bo is so smooth with his intellect. Every time I listen I’m hearing something new.

[@jnbg61584]

Around this time in the video, he was about 18 years old. His KZbin videos were so good. Also his Netflix specials “What.” and “Make Happy” were just as good as “Inside”. He’s so fucking talented but so damn humble. I’ll never not be a fan of Bo Burnham

B. O. lingers and it makes you think. he means himself bo instead of body odor

[@toddrazor9546]

He goes CRAZY with the clever punchlines- didn't see the YT video, but saw him perform this in Comedy Central special many years ago.🔥🔥 His guest spot on Parks and Rec as Chip is ALSO undeniably hilarious!! I dig the backstory that he initially wanted to be able to share/show these performance videos with brother that was away at college, found out about YT, posted video with no thought it would make him rather famous, & rest is Internet history!!

[@cherylbuisine5311]

Omg what?!?! Such a good lyricists. That was hilarious!!! Thanks I needed the laugh!

[@cybelsia]

Haha 😂 this is hilarious to watch because honestly this video is like the reason I got into comedy. And so like he set a really high bar for the quality of what I expect from comedians in their joke set up and punch lines. Over the years my taste has refined as well as broadened but I think I still have kept the bar for quality because of Bo.

[@skeeter3361]

yo, any Bo Burnham reaction is much appreciated. I think there is not a single one that will disappoint you. As for request, I think you would appreciate Dan Bull a lot, he does crazy things. Civilisation rap, Crew Rap in particular. It's crazy that I've been following you since the start of the Harry Mack vids, you keep pumping out reactions and I still cannot get enough of it. Keep going strong, and any reaction vid you deem worthy is very welcome, as long as you keep being you.
