After finding out about Bo, I have become addicted to his comedy. From the irony-ridden "Oh Bo" and "Repeat Stuff" to the heartbreakingly honest "Can't Handle This Right Now", he's managed to express the desperation that people our generation feels as regards our society and existence. I truly love him as an artist and wish him the best. Btw he directed a movie called 8th Grade, which is about to premiere in the US.

The "Goodnight, I hope you are happy" line is one of the strongest things I've ever witnessed in any stand-up comedy or similar act. I've watched the Make Happy show 5 or 6 times and still, just when you showed that one clip, I started to get tears in my eyes. I have so much admiration for Bo Burnham, he is in my opinion the greatest stand-up comedian alive and maybe even the greatest ever (although there are some he might only be tied with).

[@Raythe]

as linguistically it isn't that different from "thank you for being here, you're wonderful (the crowd), have a great night" that most performances end with, its the greater context of the rest of the show that propels the sincerity of it that makes it actually punch home hard.

[@reverseturingtest]

It was called 8th Grade, and was released to decent reviews on July 13th.

[@xenathcytrin202]

I prefer the term 'Metamodernism' personally. It describes the ultimate result of Postmodernism, once you have realized that everything is meaningless and there is no truth, the only place left to go is to realize that meaninglessness itself is also meaningless. Metamodernism is simultaneously knowing that everything has no meaning, that your life is a lie, and carrying on having that meaning and truth anyways, not because it does matter, but because it doesn't. For this reason there is currently something of a second enlightenment, we have destroyed all meaning, we have reached the end of the dream. Now all that is left to do is decide what dream we wish to have next and start it. Culturally, everything is not only falling apart, it is already rubble, and as more and more people realise that it is gone they start to build again, according to their dreams and ambitions. Some will choose to build back the old, some will build the new, and some will build the absurd, but one thing is certain. We are in an age of tremendous cultural upheaval, and the end result is as uncertain as the roll of a die. Now, personally, I think that the die is loaded, that it will always land on something in some way better than what we have.

[@this.is.spencer]

Thanks for this thought! I took a political philosophy class and one of the philosophers we mostly just glossed over was Edmund Burke, but I remember that he was against the modernist movement and one point he made to counter it was basically saying that if meaning is an illusion, why not leave the illusion? Is it so much better to have the truth that means the same but is sort of just worse. It's not his exact words, but I'm trying to capture the idea. Was his writing in the same vein? Obviously he was speaking in response to modernism and not postmodernism, but the idea felt really similar to me.

[@xenathcytrin202]

He could very well have been talking about both. After all, one is just the continuation of the other, and in that same vein both are the continuation of modernism. I disagree with calling this 'late stage' anything, it is just the continuation of a cycle that has existed as long as life. Out with the old, in with the new, before you can create, you must first destroy, it is the inevitable march of time's progression towards increasing entropy, towards ultimate complexity and infinite nuance.

[@neosoontoretro]

I think you got the metamodern experiment a bit wrong. It's a return to the grand narrative without undermining our reasonable suspicion of grand narratives which we learned from postmodernism era. It was the postmodern theory that help us deconstruct illusion in the pursuit of meaning and truth. In a way, metamodernism is more postmodern than postmodernism itself.

[@xenathcytrin202]

Yes, it certainly can be for some. For others it can be pretty much anything. Old ideas of meaning are gone, that means that it can be found pretty much anywhere you care to look. If you choose to look to the meaning of the past you will find it, but that is not by far the only place you can look.

[@neosoontoretro]

@Xenath Cytrin I wouldn't go as far as say old ideas of meaning are gone, I would say that these old idea are being recontextualize to be made more relevant in the modern world.

[@blakops000007]

Essentially we need to use the cynicism we obtained from post modern culture to reestablish our values and ethics on a sturdier base; instead of embracing nihilism for nihilism's sake, perhaps we should re-establish our culture on the fact that we know that nothing is real and that nothing is meaningful, to reestablish meaning and reality to where it more deserves it. As a simple example a Christian might be motivated to donate to the poor on the bases that his good deed will be rewarded in heaven. A post modern cynic would come to him and try to convince him that his god does exist and that his action is still selfish in nature. A post-post modern reformer would suggest that our good deeds should embrace the selfishness that occur on our social obligation to help each other instead of the selfishness that occur on the fact that we will be rewarded in heaven. In short he would suggest that we should donate to others not because we are going to be rewarded in heaven, rather because helping each other is an important social obligation that we need to commit to in order for all of us to survive and thrive.

[@daviddonnelly585]

Or, you know, be funny

[@riffbw]

One thing that always gets me, and your comment really highlights it, is that postermodernism and nihilism are very destructive entities. Your example of a Christian doing something out of selfishness is incredibly powerful, but it's the reaction to their selfishness. The aim has been to discredit Christianity and considered it a destructive force, but that aim throws out all the good with the bad. I've had atheists tell me they are grateful for their Christian upbringing as it taught them charity, compassion, being a good neighbor, etc. Where this video claims Bo is going with post-postmodernism seems to look at building on those same ideals. The future is one with more compassion, more charity, and more respect shown to everyone. In a sense, I think the cultural shift away from Christianity has seen a massive shift away from being a hopeful society. Society is grounded in the here and now and what's wrong rather than focused on a brighter future. Whether you agree with Christianity, it's hard to deny the positive outlook the religion teaches for the future and how a primary aim is to become more righteous. I'm trying to avoid the current political commentary where Christians act more like Pharisees than they do Christ in the political realm. That is another can of worms altogether and one that deserves scorn (and I am a Christian). But I see a lot of hopeless people that fall in line with postmodernism and nihilism and that's not a great outlook. I adore George Carlin because he could be a very destructive force, but he always aimed to teach and provide a way forward. TL:DR Criticism without constructive remarks is a destructive force. Postermodern and Nihilistic Comedy is a destructive force and Bo is trying to push past that.

I can do that in a sentence. A fourteen year old’s idea of anarchy.

[@zax1998LU]

This is great. This guy is great. I like him.

[@sedhcharles8335]

Bo is so amazing I love him

[@juanje99]

Bo Burnham is the GOAT. Can't wait for his next special. His last movie was amazing btw

[@SophiaSanders61]

juanje99 The hell does "The GOAT" mean?

[@juanje99]

Greg Sanders use Google. It's a really handy tool

[@joshuampayne]

greatest. of. all. time.

[@fatcoyote2]

The GOAT of what?

[@zackster21]

Hate to break it to you, but I don't think Bo is going to be doing stand up for a while. I believe he said that he wants to focus more on writing.

[@Erethizon_dorsatum]

I'd be interested to see how you would update this video now that Inside has come out.

[@johntorri9172]

Wisecrack needs to do a new one on Bo! INSIDE is incredible

[@TMWriting]

Bo's rant at the end of Make Happy is my single favourite bit of comedy ever produced. It's funny, sure, but there's such a genuine level of emotion and depth behind it that it's the closest I've ever seen a comedy special get to being considered true art. Blew me away the first time I watched it.

[@daltongarrett3393]

It’s rather ironic for this video to have two ads in the middle that feign sincerity, isn’t it?

[@darrickfranklin7096]

Dalton Garrett should they not get paid for this free content there giving you?

[@daltongarrett3393]

Darrick Franklin do they not have regular ads on on this video? Like I’m genuinely asking because I have KZbin red and they don’t show up for me.

[@sson386]

Dalton Garrett nope, no ads are shown on this video.

[@daltongarrett3393]

sson386 hey, the irony is still present either way, not that I fault them for it.

[@mattheston9132]

Isn't it I R O N I C, N I O R I N O N I C

[@jackbenimble4903]

Repeat stuff, repeat stuff, repeat stuff.

[@Bhomik98]

Its time to update this video or make a sequel as his new special is out.

[@redrumthebum]

and with inside, he's at a post-post-post modern worldview, pushing the boundaries ever further!

[@ThatWeirdFinn]

I do not recognize those economic cultures after student life.. 🤔

[@ganaed]

Hahaha man I love this guy, I remember watching his "words words words" stand up. He totally changed my perspective about stand up

[@justlurkingat8]

You should also do a Philosophy of The Good Place... You will have fun doing one for this show

[@Close.Quarters.Ramen.]

You gotta admit hat Oedipus line Bo rapped at 10:20 was awesome. The guy is on another level in my opinion, not just a comedian but a man who has an outside the box view of how social commentary can be presented to an audience.

[@colinlambert3102]

I hope you guys do an Inside video, I think with Inside it goes past the idea of creating meaning in your own life and asks what does it mean when those meaning that you created are torn away and you realize that they've been distracting you from both the world around you, and your own mental state, I had a similar experience over the last year where I had to look inside myself and try to be ok with myself without the distractions

[@4real675]

*Redlobsters are not really red*

[@rberkowitz9453]

4Real it’s carmine red

[@arijitmazumdar5740]

Lies

[@jimmygalvan5907]

So this doesn't really matter but, at 2:28 you showed a double decker taco calling it a cheesy gordita chrunch, and at 18:35 when you mentioned the crunchwrap supreme being here to stay you showed a double crunchwrap which was only a limited time offer and is currently discontinued (at least here in California).

[@Killerlllnumll1]

Are SURE it doesn't matter? Or can you find MEANING in the taco bell?

[@Baqon42]

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed.

[@Largentina.]

Who cares though?

[@Idontknowwhat2type]

“Post post modern” The term is Meta-modernism

[@juliandahlberg2142]

Before his specials, it it is important to recognize how self-deprecating he was to counter how annoying he probably thought he was. My Whole Family Thinks I'm Gay was a perfect representation of that time. While it wasn't derogatory in most sense, it was a stepping stone in his creative process

[@TheBakuganmaster99]

Community did a great job of balancing both!

[@TotallyOKaYProductions]

The superior sitcom

[@adlanhaziq]

Gotta do Dave Chapelle sometime soon

[@JJJameson.]

Do Father John Misty Do Father John Misty Do Father John Misty

[@littlediamond4552]

This episode had everything from Bojack horseman to Rick and Morty to history, an optimistic message and a solution to talk about our problems! This has to be one of the best vidoes Wisecrack has ever put out!

[@EmaPoppy]

Awesome,love it when you talk about post-postmodernism! Could you do philosophy of John Mulaney?

[@kashiichan]

Seconding this request!

[@CraigMetalHead]

Y'know why those fries aren't on the menu anymore? Because they're... nacho fries.

[@Holthis]

God I can’t wait til Bo comes back to stand up

[@unrealpandas]

John P he won’t

[@huhreally5771]

UnrealPandas Maybe. Never know.

[@wormsalad9964]

judging from the end of make happy, i really doubt that it's going to happen. it would be great if he did though.

[@koryeasterday5164]

RIP Nacho Fries (2018-2018)

[@Lilaspourmoi]

I found out about Bo Burnham 3 weeks ago, today you post this, Coincidence? I think not

[@marsAcoon]

Alice G. Your being watched

[@megatone9139]

Illuminati confirm

[@1ake1]

Isn't he a genius? He is the reason i decided to learn music, specifically the piano. I found out about him last year and i was so fascinated that he combined music with comedy.

[@puza737]

I found out about Nathan for you yesterday and now he is referenced here? Has to mean something right? Right????

[@marsAcoon]

Söndēr i was going to give up on piano but then I found Bo and it made me keep playing

[@thecollector8588]

When he said i hope your happy it doesn't mean that he hopes there happy in there life. he means that he hopes there happy about them putting him thru what he is going thru...

[@axf9202]

Please do the philosophy of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, this show is so important

[@SenorGnar]

Really loved this The Philosophy of Taco Bell Promotion. It was the subtlety that really got me.

[@thiago-kg1vu]

since you mentioned it, do a philosophy of Eric Andre Show!

[@yungbuttpiss]

Mr Slime PLEASE

[@zoloegaming]

Why!? Why do you keep mentioning Taco Bell??? Are you trying to make me go get some!? Because I will!

[@koalasquare2145]

This is all the first stage of Bo Burnham. This is the outside stage of Burnham.

[@pumpkin2986]

I'd love to see a wisecrack edition on Burnham's new netflix special. Inside was crazy

[@PiLuLyArus]

INSTANT LIKE!!! Wisecrack + Bo = OMG!!!

[@viziroth]

Are you sure taco bell wasn't the sponsor?

[@jtsupersized]

Listen, just because this talks about cynical corporate shilling doesn't mean normal human people can't crave the luxorious flavor and refreshing texture of the crunch wrap supreme now at Taco Bell near you. Limited time only.

[@matthewbrady1991]

Philosophy of Exurb1a?

[@ariveraarivera7973]

Wisecrack I see you with those taco bell jokes showing us the deep meaning of comedy cause itll get you money

[@thesnowflakediaries5267]

the philosophy of capitalism 🌈

I’m a simple man, I see Bo, I klick
