"I saw a boy who had red hair" camera: falls off the tripod in a fit of laughter

[@ebuchill1]

I haven't understand the joke in that line for years. Can you explain PLEASE.

[@mordirit8727]

@@ebuchill1 to dissect the joke: Some people say red haired women are the most beautiful, but red haired men are the least attractive looking ones. I've never really understood that but well, it's a bit of a cliché joke to say that red haired boys are ugly. Bo keeps listing normal set ups that become sad with the next line, "diabetic kid - trick or treating," "homeless man - named Rich," "lost dog - didn't even have legs, how the hell did they lose it" etc. After so many of these you keep expecting to hear something normal that becomes a dark joke with the second part. When Bo says "a boy who had red hair" you instantly think "oh wow, how's he gonna make this one into a dark joke," but then he doesn't add anything else and you realize that the racist "red haired men are ugly" stereotype _was_ already the joke

Thank you very very much@@mordirit8727 . You rescued me from years of pain. Now there is only one bo burnham joke I haven't understand, I'm waiting patiently. Thanks again for whole explanation :)

the icecream cone on the mother's corpse always gets me - aside from the shock factor - why would you be eating icecream over your mother's corpse?!

[@Caelum7913]

Maybe you were eating ice cream and your mother suddenly died, causing you to drop your ice cream on her corpse in shock

[@REMnut12]

@@Caelum7913 that is true!

[@haxkztasy]

@@Caelum7913 or maybe that kid wasnt old enough to realize what is happening and just got icecream from his/her dad and as they stepped up to the mother, that kid was still eating his/her icecream.

Glad you're still doing Bo reactions - really love your perspective and personality. Double thumbs up from me.

"picture a depressed onion cutting itself," There are alot of *layers* to that joke ;D

[@zjmiller6627]

And that pun about onions having layers is probably just another layer itself. I love how meta that joke is

The whole "What" special is a must watch. Love every song in it! you should check it out when you get a chance!

[@alexwalker8440]

Bo is brilliant! 🤯 Please, check on "From God's Perspective", I believe it's also part of his What show! 🔥

"He didnt know what was to come" irony can be so painful

Help, I can't stop watching Bo Burnham... What year is it?

[@DannyBridie]

I just discovered Bo probably 2 weeks ago. I've watched all 3 of his specials probably 9 times each and I'm not even exaggerating lmao. & I've probably watched every reaction video atleast once. fucking brilliant man

[@philsilverthorn]

I think you're right with this interpretation. There are lines of the song where there's no actual joke but you still hear laughter. It's because we have been primed to laugh at anything and everything especially within the context of watching a comedian. For some shock value is funny by itself without there being an actual joke behind it but this risks just being offensive for the sake of it and losing any empathy. Bo is self aware enough to see this but probably still struggled to straddle that line to his own satisfaction, especially in his earlier work.

[@richarddweckcomedy]

No this is a pure joke song one of his pure joke songs like : What’s funny Love is Words words words Ironic My whole family ( thinks I’m gay) Andy The Frog

[@richarddweckcomedy]

Everything line in it is a joke

[@markingoutformattsydal]

This one is more of a straight comedy song than others. He has a few songs that are not serious at all at the end or anything

[@DevyanshBahri]

5:13 ?? there’s no “reading too much into it” with bo

[@richarddweckcomedy]

Yea there is, this is one of his pure comedy songs

[@DevyanshBahri]

@@richarddweckcomedy definitely don’t agree with that. This was the first song in this special and I see it as like an introduction to the special and also just his style and thought process. So I think it’s super important because it’s like a reason for why he does what he does. Like he said, "Laughter. That's the key to everything." and "Goodbye sadness. Hello jokes."

[@richarddweckcomedy]

@@DevyanshBahri yea it’s a great intro but it’s mostly jokes. There’s not a massive deep meaning behind it. He does have more pure joke songs to be warned about ; Oh Bo Words Words Words Ironic Also non songs like: If Shakespeare wrote a porn Poems Andy the frog Racial humor

[@richarddweckcomedy]

@@DevyanshBahri oh also the intro song to his first special is called “ what’s funny “ and that’s jokes

[@mathuraphael9196]

One of polish comedians commented very similarly: "As long as I am not a victim of bombing I can be happy. It doesn't have to be far away. Like, it could go of few streets away and I would meet with friends to our planned cinema movie with

[@kettlebot3610]

if i might chip in my 2 cents about views, bo draws me in always, and so does the algorithm. if you do reactions to each special, with one video/reaction per song a day, you will likely keep the algorithm going toward you. i know because i just followed a channel that's doing that exactly, because the algorithm lead me, and now he is always in my recommended bo videos. he uploads the next song each day so he stays watched by me and a lot of others. your bo videos are usually there in the recommended too, but they're usually ones i've seen. that could be a missed opportunity

[@matthewmoody6951]

Wait you watch Chris reacts too??

[@jacksapsford2368]

You should definitely check out Phoebe Bridgers cover Bo’s ‘That Funny Feeling’. Amazing version

[@tuckdelux1572]

Going to keep requesting Repeat Stuff by Bo Burnham until you react to it

[@mariagoodman3465]

You should do a video on repeat stuff and words words words! I think that repeat stuff in terms of melody and comedy is really good and words words words is lyrical genius!!!

[@naomipickett285]

Hey Brad, please check out David Phelps original song, "Song for Sinners" and also his new original song, "I remember what we thought love was" He wrote this for his wife Lori. You won't be disappointed. ❤

You NEED to react to his song "Goodbye" from Inside

[@cyklone5000]

You should do "From God's Perspective" next.

There is one difference between all the terrible things that weren't happening to him and recent events, Covid 19, namely that Covid 19 affected everyone, some more than others.

@@markingoutformattsydal Exactly my point. The things he mentioned affect individuals or groups, Covid 19 affected everyone in the world directly or indirectly.

spoilers for inside

[@SentinalSlice]

During performances like these Bo suffered from on stage panic attacks, not all the time but occasionally. He had a lot of anxiety while performing, and he ended up taking a five year break, to take time to work on his mental health, which led to the conception of “Inside”. But his anxiety could be a reason for the fidgety behavior you noticed, among other reasons.

Kinda weird buy I'm kinda going around your videos just to listen to the Intro
