TRYING TO STAN BO BURNHAM'S INSIDE

[@LizardBeaming]

Someone said 'Inside is the funniest psychological horror I've ever seen' and that's a whole mood. I watched it with my partner after dinner and we spent the rest of the evening just sitting on the couch, staring into the distance. What do you do after watching this? Can't distract yourself from the feeling it's left you with, because you're too self aware for that now. This special has really been haunting me.

[@indregegeckaite1179]

Same. I finished it and was like "what am I supposed to do with all of this?". It is a masterpiece, don't get me wrong, I am so glad I watched it, but processing it was hard.

[@SpectralLuna6277]

Simple. You watch it over and over again. Make it your comfort special/movie...

[@IeatBugszz]

wow you explained that so well. Inside has left me with that exact feeling. Every time i do something or watch back on bo’s old stuff i cannot watch it the same because the special is constantly in the back of my mind

[@NoneofYourBusiness667]

I’ve watched it three times now just to fully understand these complex, beautiful feelings it left me with. Bo Burnham is a goddamn genius.

[@Nyx_404]

I smoked weed then drank a smoothie, that cures the vague horror and racing thoughts long enough for you to go to sleep, then you can deal with the existential crisis and incoming panic attack at 5:45 am before you head to your minimum wage office job :D

It is particularly bumpy if you were aware of Bo's struggle with mental health going in. I don't think I laughed once during it, I just felt dread and sympathetic.

AVERNO

[@kenziebailey9142]

"even if its not real, its real" has been my argument for this whole thing. I feel this dichotomy between the critics of Inside because its either "Its a 100% real look inside Bo's depressed mind and someone needs to see if he's ok" and "He's a filmmaker and everything he did was scripted". But what you said hit the nail on the head for why its both - his personal experiences have led him to document and script a representation of what it was like to be isolated and depressed and so many other things. I love hearing your take, though. I really respect and appreciate your point of view.

[@Nightlady0228]

Also, as someone with GAD and depression, the fact you're able to get better through therapy and medication doesn't mean what you felt when your mental illness flared up isn't real or that remembering how you felt back then doesn't give you "that funny feeling" (ehhh ;D) even though you're in a better place now. I laugh at myself, crack jokes about my own mental illness with other people who have it, and share my experience in as lighthearted a way as I can now that I'm off my meds with others who are JUST starting to get medicated now, that doesn't mean what I felt wasn't real, or that I can't draw upon those experiences now. This special made me extremely uncomfortable when I watched it alone, and I probably wouldn't have been able to laugh at it if I watched it a few months ago. Bo's message is real for many of us regardless if it was "real" when he recorded the special

as rough and raw as the journey was, the final shot is Bo starting to crack a smile as he reviews the shot of him locked out of the house. That along with a line from all the way at the start, during Content, "going to try getting back to work, might not help, but couldn't hurt." That's the vibe I'm choosing to take away from all of Inside.

[@Amerias_]

"Sitting down, writing jokes, making silly songs. I am sorry I was gone but look I made you some content!"

[@justyouraverageweirdo]

I'm sorry, but the "Harder daddy. Thank you" made me burst out laughing

[@fdasjrfewklew433]

"I now have a new favorite representation of the passage of time, and it is a light revolving around a nearly-naked Bo Burnham" --- this comment cracked me up

[@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself]

You mean that isn't how we've already been measuring it?

[@LunartheDragon]

For me it felt validating, in a way, to see that everyone has been struggling similar to me through last year. Even the “untouchable fame” was affected. It made me feel raw and fragile, but also less alone.

[@WahooNikki]

Yes! I'm a teacher who taught from home for the last year, but the first time I watched this special, I was like, "Yes! This I exactly how I felt!" I think Inside is the best thing that came out of the last year.

[@h0pskip]

Inside really got me to be honest. I guess nobody really talks about the parts of anxiety that arent just fast heartbeats and unregulated breathing and he did. I had to pause the special a few times when I was watching because of how much I felt like how he felt haha. I watch the special alot now, it can be hard to finish it sometimes but its comforting.

[@theoldgodofsimping6081]

You should do the “Oh hellos” -bitter water -soldier, poet, king -Thus always to tyrants -Caesar -this will end -pale white horse -where is your rider -dear wormwood -hello my old heart

[@hotaruhime]

I’ve watched Inside three times as of now, and it’s one of the most powerful things I’ve experienced in a while. My first watch was more of a visual and musical experience but I didn’t get super emotional until my second viewing where the tears just started flowing at the end of That Funny Feeling, and all through the end. Bo’s speech in All Eyes on Me when he talks about how he wanted to come back in my litteral birthday month where I turned 30, where I also had big hopes about this new decade of my life before the pandemic happened and changed my views on everything, really hit hard on me. Inside is such a powerful piece of art that takes you on an emotional and intellectual journey, and resonates in so many different ways. I wasn’t super familiar with Bo before, but I’m so glad I watched Inside and his other stage works. He is a deeply intelligent and creative person and I love him so much.

[@mariaegurrola9165]

[@rivasdanyel]

Oh gosh the notification- BILL, SIR I DONT THINK YOURE READY FOR THIS

[@lolgurl4life34]

(Starts with a sigh) Me: "Oh yea. I feel that"

[@bhelliom3]

I woke up with "but look I made you some content" as literally my FIRST thought the other day, I was amazed. Like before I was even fully conscious my brain was singing "daddy made you your favorite, open wide," and I woke up completely enthralled with how much Inside impacted me. Like yes the music is all amazing and showcases Bo's talent but holy shit he has grown up so fucking much - his insights and observations alone are noteworthy for any human but to show those observations with a piece of surrealist art? Fuck, man, Bo is incredible. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings, and your line at the end, "I hope this is what you wanted" felt very much like Can't Handle This. I hope you're okay. I think Inside impacted content creators the most out of his audience, and I say that after watching maybe a dozen reactions to various parts of Inside. The creators I've watched feel so seen and horrified by Inside.

[@Tulip_bip]

bo is one of the very few 'content creators' who isnt afraid to address things that actually matter to people, things that cut deep because they affect almost all of us on a day to day basis. he doesnt really have much of a filter, these things have meaning to him and he knows that they mean just as much to us

[@hethmarie]

Since this artist went away for a period of years, I feel like we're already experiencing something totally new with this. It's only a rule you made up for yourself that you were supposed to go in not knowing anything about an artist. It makes me feel bad that you think you couldn't share this without violating some kind of rule.

[@morpheus0z821]

[@elizas4820]

I haven't watched your videos for long, but I could immediately tell that you were very nervous about how this video would be received. When I first watched one of your videos, I was really intrigued by your interpretation of the music. Honestly, it made me appreciate the music even more. However you feel, whatever your thoughts are, we want to hear it. That's why we're here! So, please don't feel pressure to upload or not upload a video because in the end, you'll find that many people appreciate what you have to say.

When I first started watching and listening to Bo I got the same message and that it’s okay to feel hurt by the words that people call us

[@ZaneSade]

Thank you for always giving us your genuine reactions in your videos, instead of some kind of "forced nice" for the camera. There are so many channels out there that stop and start and feel like they need to over-explain every verse of a song before they've even finished it, without letting the first listen take them on the journey and pace that the artist intended. I appreciate your format of listening first before picking out each lyric. You're the only person reacting on KZbin who I've heard say "should I be making this?" while watching Inside - it shows how much you resonate with Bo. And you did make the video - because the process of content creation is still fulfilling, however vain we may think it makes us look, and however irrelevant it may seem in the grand scheme of things. Sure, a joke won't save you in a fire, and a song won't set everything right in the world - but you're putting more good back into the world. Thank you for the videos, thank you for your sincerity.

This was such a geat and moving reaction video and you should be very proud, because you completely naild it. About the blue rose, I believe it's meant as a twin peaks reference (Bo is very obviously deeply inspired by Lynch) You can look it up but basically, it is a thing that does not exist in nature, it's man made. Thorw in the shadow hand trying to grab it and... It's a lot.

[@MagpieMac]

I watched this for the first time two nights ago... The night after I got admitted to a mental health facility. Sitting watching someone so beautifully put into words and actions the kind of slow, tormented downward spiral that I've personally been dealing with (from the comfort of a hospital bed with someone permanently stationed outside your door) is probably the most epically ironical slam back into the real world I've ever experienced. That snap back from a dissociative episode is exactly how you describe it - whiplash. I really appreciate you're take on this and how you use your own personal experience to draw on the depth and impact on what Bo's managed to create here. Everyone has their own story, and we can all find things we deeply empathise with - and it's important we talk about our own experiences with mental health, even though most people feel like we shouldn't for fear of "making it all about us". Talking about mental health and our own experiences with the highs and lows of it all is really important for education and for healing. I hope that all makes sense.

[@irelight9384]

This was exactly the raw emotional experience and musings that I've been looking for. One of the reasons I watch reaction vids is for the emotional catharsis of seeing another person feel the same things I felt when watching something. I tend to be very isolated due to mental illness, so they help me feel less alone and like I am a human being (which I don't fell like I am a lot of the time). So thank you for helping me feel human. Take care of yourself and know that you're not alone 💜✨

[@RoxanneRichardson]

Your comments on the film are thoughtful and insightful. I appreciate that you have shared your feelings about the film and about your own struggles during 2020. So many people have identified with what Bo is portraying in this special, and it's obvious that you really connected with it. It feels real, authentic, and it is, but it is also a performance. He sets up a shot, sets up the lights. Even if we feel like we've been there, struggling to find the words to express what we want to say, that doesn't mean he was struggling at that moment in reality. He was performing that struggle. The lights and equipment are between the camera and him. The more I watch it, the more layers I see in the ways he has shown the separation of what he's filming from what the reality is. That it resonates so strongly is a testament to his ability to show what we all feel. When he talks to us at the beginning, we see the camera in a mirror. Everything is framed to present this world he is setting up, just like a white woman's IG is framed/cropped to show what the person wants to present to the world until the ratio changes from the IG square frame to show us the mess of the actual room, the area outside of the crop. That initial scene in the film, where the stove clock is blinking (there is no time), and there's a screw loose in the light switch -- all of that is setting up this whole theme of the separation between reality and the "digital space," as well as a nod to how he uses light, and discusses mental health (screw loose). The shot is a reflection of him, it's not actually him, and we're seeing it through his camera lens, which is one more point of separation. And yet, we connect. It feels authentic. At the intermission, he's cleaning a piece of glass between himself (and us) and the camera. He periodically projects his present or past self onto a wall or onto his body. It all feels real. We connect with it. But it's not real. It's not a documentary. It's multi-layered metaphors, and it is a work of genius. (One scene that I really disliked/felt uncomfortable with when I first saw it, but appreciate more now is Facetime with my mom. The three-fold juxtaposition of the song type (I'm gonna spend time with my baby) vs the lyrics about facetiming with his mom vs the frustrated/angry emotions shown on screen threw me. Took me a while to process.) I appreciate your thoughtful remarks about the film.

My dude, seriously, this content is so hard. Good on you for trying to talk about it in the form on KZbin content- I could never speak about my thoughts on this content on a public platform. Thanks for sharing your thoughts- and I hope you are doing ok too!!!

This was my introduction to your channel and I loved it! I've been a big fan of Bo's since the youtube days and it was wonderful to see the perspective of someone else who also has the back story leading up to Inside. Thank you for putting yourself out there, being vulnerable, and for linking and emphasizing ways to get help! It would be awesome if you made a video about Make Happy

BILL! You should definitely check out måneskin! They're an italian band that just won eurovision and are absolutely blowing up right now! These are some good ones: Le parole lontane Coraline Vent'anni Zitte e buoni Torna a casa Moriro da re

Aight, I'm only 20 seconds in, and I'm already so so happy. I've been searching the Internet for INSIDE reactors that have already known Bo Burnham prior to it or - in the ultimate best scenario - ones that might actually be fans of Bo. I was dying to hear such an introspective commentary by someone who could understand the context better, and who would be more likely to feel relatable to me personally as someone who, too, loved Bo's content long before INSIDE was even announced. With that said, I cannot wait to watch this now.
