I had my first Chipotle ever recently and I got the chicken burrito with all the ingredients mostly because of him. Glad I didn't have to eat it with a spoon.

[–]cycko 55 points56 points  (25 children)

Is it worth a watch the special?

[–]sammy-p 181 points182 points  (6 children)

It’s worth several watches. And then 2 months straight of playing the album on Spotify in your car every day

[–]OneFreamon 29 points30 points  (2 children)

It’s also worth the two days of depression following the first watch.

[–]Whatthefusername 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Here's a pro tip: just do what I did and be depressed before you watch it! https://tenor.com/GwPo.gif All of the taste, none of the calories.

[–]Rac3318 17 points18 points  (1 child)

I would recommend giving it a watch. “Inside” perfectly encapsulates the lockdown experience during 2020.

[–]VaibhavGuptaWho 34 points35 points  (1 child)

You say the ocean's rising

like I give a shit

You say the whole world's ending

Honey it already did

You're not gonna slow it, heaven knows you've tried

Got it? Good now get inside.

[–]Dexteraj42 1936 points1937 points  (151 children)

It's hard to describe exactly what it was for me. I went through a very deep depression many years ago and at the same time was very isolated. It was the most painful time of my life, but also the deepest. It was the most real, but also the most surreal. Nights and days kind of blend together and you talk to people but you live in your own head. You have a deep sense of perspective and reality that at the same time is entirely warped and negative. The darkness, the depersonalization, the occasional giddy obsession, and the constant ruminations.

And underneath all that is just this constant, oppressive, pervasive, weight. You sleep all the time to escape it, and when you wake up it's right there again.

Bo basically took depression and turned it into an art form. Anyone who has ever felt that, felt it here. The name Inside has a lot of meanings here. I have been inside that room. Many people have.

If you have never been truly depressed, it probably made you a bit uneasy, weirded out, maybe just bored, and that's ok. If god forbid you ever do go through a depression, and you wanted to explain in an hour what it's like, youd have someone watch this movie. And they wouldn't get it unless they'd been there. When I watch this it just makes me want to take Bo out for a beer and tell him, it gets better man. Hang in there.

[–]MC__Fatigue 699 points700 points  (94 children)

Every Bo special, every single one, has at least one song that has made me cry. For Inside, it was That Funny Feeling, though All Eyes On Me probably would’ve done it had it been first.

No comedian in my time has hit so many nails directly on the head. It always hits home like nothing else.

[–]Nibz11 361 points362 points  (52 children)

Even "White woman's instagram" gave me a gut punch that actually changed my perspective.

[–]MordredKLB 476 points477 points  (26 children)

I love that bit so much, given that the whole song is about how cliché and ridiculously performative many white women's instagrams are, and then *boom* there's this reminder that they're still real people with actual pain that they're trying to process. And then we go back to making fun of the pumpkin patch photos.

[–]MarkAnchovy 228 points229 points  (6 children)

I love that song because it starts with a seemingly cynical perspective - laughing at basic things. Then after the emotional twist, it seems that he’s celebrating all those things which are actually really lovely.

[–]kadsmald 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I’m crying over here. We all deserve to find love and joy in life

[–]whomegalul_asked 19 points20 points  (2 children)

Yeah when the last verse talks about her wedding day, and now you just feel happy for this woman you were originally snarking at:

3 little words, a couple of doves

And a ring on her finger from the person that she loves

Is this heaven?

I absolutely love it.

[–]PureRandomness529 19 points20 points  (1 child)

That and the song itself is catchy as hell

[–]StlIceSkater 77 points78 points  (9 children)

Her favorite photo of her mom The caption says, I can't believe it It's been a decade since you've been gone

Like damn bruh #Deep

[–]spacetime9 80 points81 points  (1 child)

a few lines later, "give a hug and kiss to dad". Meaning he died too.

[–]PM_ME_GIRLS_TITS 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hug your parents 🥲🥹

[–]Priff 55 points56 points  (5 children)

Also, the "27" balloons earlier, indicating she was 17 when she lost her mother. Which is a terrible age for something like that. Not that any age is good ofc.

[–]pembyemp 40 points41 points  (1 child)

When Inside first released I remember someone commenting making this connection of young woman whose lost her parents, and how it makes total sense she would seek and find comfort in social media and things we might find ‘silly’ but she is likely seeking comfort and belonging rather than bragging and being basic as she might be perceived. Makes ya think.

[–]SayMyButtisPretty 63 points64 points  (0 children)

That song had me smack myself for how much it threw me for a loop. At first i was like “haha funny basic white woman” and then after i was like “let people enjoy themselves you dumbass”

[–]ImTay 75 points76 points  (5 children)

The flip from satire and mockery of our social values to a verse showing how social media can make us feel connected and supported with the verse “momma I miss you, I miss sitting with you in the front yard” is actual genius.

[–]Astronomnomnomicon 58 points59 points  (2 children)

I took it more as commentary that the way we interact on social media is inherently dehumanizing, like you look at a handful of cliche photos and sum up the person's entire existence as "basic white chick" or whatever.

[–]Nibz11 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Well put! That is what made it such a gut punch after a funny intro about an accurate generalization

[–]PM_ME_GIRLS_TITS 9 points10 points  (2 children)

Made me call my mom and tell her I loved her. And this was after months of not talking.

[–]AlanMooresWizrdBeard 69 points70 points  (2 children)

He’s got an insanely unique ability to make you laugh then gut punch you in the next breath. I’ve liked him for a long while, but at some point in the past few years (unrelated to his stuff) just grew tired of comedy specials, especially as Netflix kept cranking them out.

We got quarantine, I was living alone for all of it, and dealing with someone who was emotionally sucking me dry and contributing to some of the worst mental health I’ve experienced in many years. I kept skipping past it when it first came out through a combination of apathetic depression and some hard to explain fear of hearing something that would upset and drag me down deeper.

But finally a couple months after it’s release, on a particularly lovely Saturday that came after a Friday of some of the worst emotional abuse to date, I decided to clean my place, get myself sushi, and sit down to watch it. I’m 35 and I’ve had therapy breakthroughs, and all the ups and downs that you get under your belt as you get closer to middle age but I swear to god it was one of the most cathartic moments of my life.

[–]Usual_Safety 12 points13 points  (1 child)

I hope you’re in a better place and don’t experience the emotional abuse issues you dealt with. Your comments were great.

[–]GameOfThrownaws 45 points46 points  (1 child)

That Funny Feeling blew me away the first time I heard it. It perfectly and beautifully encapsulates some of my deepest feelings about the state of the world recently.

I don't throw around the term "genius" a lot but I think Bo Burnham EASILY qualifies as an artistic genius of our time.

[–]sentientfleshlight 194 points195 points  (4 children)

I wish I could hug every individual who watched this and identified with it as strongly as I did. He articulated it so well, and nearly all of the special made me absolutely bawl. All eyes on me was beautiful and I still can’t stop listening to it.

[–]VortalCord 27 points28 points  (1 child)

It's made me bawl roughly ten times now. Can't get through it once without crying and I still want to watch it all the time. Those songs are something else.

[–]SheuiPauChe 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That part about depersonalisation fucking destroyed me, have basically been in a constant state of brain fog for about a year now, and having the experience of realising it was what I probably had read out right back to me by Bo got me real fucking good

[–]pushdose 11 points12 points  (3 children)

That Funny Feeling is a gut punch.

It’s not over. He said it would be over soon. It’s not.

[–]llLimitlessCloudll 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That Funny Feeling is incredible. This whole project really. But damn, that song hits

[–]Keikyk 24 points25 points  (0 children)

That funny feeling was poetic brilliance, a perfect capture of our time so how can you not love it as a song. As much as I love the original I have to say Phoebe Bridgers cover of it is even better. It’s a perfect build up, and when the bass kicks in at the end of the song I admit shedding a tear just because it was so beautiful yet haunting

[–]JustSayAnything 53 points54 points  (3 children)

You captured it perfectly.

I really liked “Inside”. But it was too real/reminded me of my lowest moments in a depressive episode. And I’d rather not dwell on that lol.

[–]cait_Cat 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I avoided Inside for way too long. My friends told me about it and I thought it would be too raw for me. I finally watched it last weekend. It is fantastic but if I had watched it when it came out, I would have been Not Okay.

[–]d1rron 43 points44 points  (11 children)

I relate, hard. My depression vice was Frightened Rabbit. Amazingly written, beautiful music that helped me hold it together despite the often depressing lyrics. I was on vacation with my wife and son when the lead singer, Scott Hutchison, killed himself just the way he'd sung about in one of his songs, Swim Until You Can't See Land (among others)

I salute at the threshold of the North Sea of my mind And I nod to the boredom that drove me here to face the tide And I swim, I swim, oh swim

Dip a toe in the ocean, oh how it hardens and it numbs The rest of me is a version of man built to collapse in crumbs And if I hadn't come now to the coast to disappear I may have died in a landslide of rocks and hopes and fears

So I swim until you can't see land Swim until you can't see land Swim until you can't see land Are you a man? Are you a bag of sand?

[–]kelsey153 8 points9 points  (1 child)

His death hit me so hard because it was my favorite Frightened Rabbit song. Still is.

[–]dizcostu 6 points7 points  (1 child)

I hadn't thought about Frightened Rabbit in years. Didn't know that happened. How awful

[–]dmann27 161 points162 points  (3 children)

Gotta agree with you completely. He put words to the emotions I feel. No modern media has ever felt so personal and so applicable to me. Yet every line is so open to interpretation. While it perfectly encapsulates the sliver of time that it was written in like time machine/time capsule, it is also so universal and timeless.

[–]crouching_tiger 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I didn’t really realize I was going through depression for the past few years until quite recently. Probably didn’t even fully realize it at the time of watching it, but I think that’s why I was so fascinated by it.

Funny enough it was actually made me feel strangely comfortable, rather than uneasy like so many others. I guess it made me feel not alone in what I’ve been experiencing while also making me laugh at the ridiculousness of it all. Really incredible what he was able to tap into with it

[–]celloitskat 26 points27 points  (1 child)

This song really encapsulates depression for me:

https://youtu.be/AbbxPuABsvQ

“I’m 15 cm tall A single step’s a sturdy wall “

“It don’t take a champion to talk Bout how to line yourself in chalk Run like hell instead of walk”

[–]StopStalkingMeFam 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It’s not just about depression though, it’s about the specific depression many of us have living in this moment in time. It’s about an overwhelming feeling of helplessness watching from the sidelines as the world’s biggest problems get bigger and bigger, wanting desperately to do what you can to find solutions to these crises but not knowing even where to begin.

[–]Logrologist 33 points34 points  (7 children)

True. This and Neil Brennan’s 3 Mics. (For me, at least)

[–]donutg 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Holy fuck yea Neil Brennan’s 3 Mics is amazing

[–]levis3163 11 points12 points  (0 children)

3 mics blew me away ive watched it 4x over the last 2 years

[–]cait_Cat 7 points8 points  (2 children)

Neil Brennan's 3 Mics was the sign I needed to try TMS. It had been something my doctor and I had talked about, but I was on the fence. But the whole thing Neil did talking about trying different meds and things for depression was exactly what I needed to hear when I needed to hear it.

It worked. Life changing.

[–]Rustash 7 points8 points  (1 child)

I’ve wanted to watch this, but his Twitter temper tantrum a couple years ago really put me off of anything he’s done/does/will do.

[–]I_Like_That_Panda 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That part where he breaks down and knocks over the mic and shit. That one broke me for a minute the first time I watched it.

[–]sentientfleshlight 16 points17 points  (1 child)

Yes, great description. It was so real, and accurate. My parents told me it was boring but I absolutely loved it and I couldn’t figure out why but what you’ve said here makes sense. They’ve never dealt with depression or wanted to deal with mine.

Nearly all of the songs gave me alllll the feels.

[–]GregSays 305 points306 points  (23 children)

The first time I heard, “honey, it already did” I felt like I was punched in the face. I’ve never struggled with depression and that line really broke through to me.

[–]Dr3wG95 239 points240 points  (12 children)

Different song, same special. “20,000 years of this, 7 more to go” broke me for about 3 days

[–]Harvey__Denture 162 points163 points  (9 children)

Yup. Funny Feeling was the one that got to me. I wept for awhile after it. I have a 4 year old daughter and that song just perfectly encapsulated the utter madness and inevitability of our current world. I have no idea how I'm going to help her navigate it because I don't know what its going to be. But its in the song.

I actually find 'all eyes on me' uplifting. the worlds fucked, nothing you can do, accept it, buckle up and GET UP. No point crying over a world thats already dead. Time to make a new one. Give it a go. 'How bout I sit on the couch and I watch you next time?'

Inside is an incredible work of art.

[–]Dr3wG95 78 points79 points  (2 children)

Yeah, that funny feeling is one of my all time favorites generally, regardless of context. I’m a school shooting survivor and the “gift shop at the gun range, a mass shooting at the mall” line hit me like a freight train too.

The whole special made me feel differently then just about any other piece of art has

[–]IsSimileLike 26 points27 points  (1 child)

That funny feeling… almost all the other songs and whatnot in that special I can go back and listen to… it have a hard time with that song.

“The quiet comprehending of the ending of it all.”

I still get chills. It hits way to close to home…

[–]dmann27 74 points75 points  (9 children)

For real man, I still get chills when I blast it in my car. It hits so hard every time

[–]mockingbird13 45 points46 points  (8 children)

I can't really listen to it without having some emotions well up. Especially the video, when he screams get up. Super chills.

[–]celloitskat 36 points37 points  (7 children)

I have to ration “welcome to the internet” for the same reason. I got divorced right before the pandemic and then my most of friends moved away for job stuff. That whole year and a half during the worst of the pandemic was so, so lonely. I’m doing better now but I spent far too much time on Facebook and Reddit and my mental health was a wreck.

[–]qup40 19 points20 points  (4 children)

Same. My partner of 10 years and former fiancé and I broke late in the pandemic. I had moved to be with her family and am stranded in a city where I know sparingly few friends locally. I just moved to a new apartment and being a place by myself feels so lonely. Making friends is hard work and depression feels like a vicious cycle making it harder. The resentment of not having a social network makes it hard to be a good person and build a social network.

[–]shh_Im_a_Moose 52 points53 points  (0 children)

This is it man

[–]boogerjam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

His history as a comedian and the medium and background where this was presented might make it harder to appreciate. But in my opinion, these are some of the most moving words written about the last 2-3 years

[–]swoocetown 18 points19 points  (2 children)

the way this line shot through me when i first heard it is something i wish i could experience again for the first time. Grammy very well deserved, this song captured an era with a certain frustratingly defeated mood.

[–]RedditCuratesPropaga 308 points309 points  (8 children)

"I don't know about you guys, but uh, I've been thinking recently that... you know maybe, um, allowing giant digital media corporations, to... exploit the neuro-chemical drama of our children, for profit... you know maybe that was, uhh, a bad call, by us? May-maybe, the flattening of the entire subjective human experience into a lifeless exchange of value, that benefits nobody, except for uh, you know, a handful of bug-eyed salamanders in Silicon Valley, maybe that, as a, as a way of life forever, maybe that's uhh, not good... ...I'm... horny."

[–]Pixilatedlemon 67 points68 points  (1 child)

My favourite part of the special followed by the brand consultant skit

[–]Whatsupmaaaaan 1758 points1759 points  (41 children)

That whole album is a stroke of genius. He deserves that Grammy.

[–]humanshakeweight 471 points472 points  (15 children)

Should have been up for comedy album of the year

[–]Bleezze 80 points81 points  (6 children)

I mean is it comedy? I felt like it made me cry a whole lot more than it made me laugh

[–]PeachyPoet 293 points294 points  (2 children)

*album of the year

[–]perthguppy 40 points41 points  (3 children)

He didn’t even get nominated in that category. What the fuck? And the winner was Louis CK???? What even

[–]Yolo_The_Dog 40 points41 points  (2 children)

The argument was that its not a comedy album, which I get to some extent. The special was definitely less of a comedy than his previous ones, though probably still enough that it should have qualified

[–]Player8 208 points209 points  (18 children)

Never bought a comedy album on vinyl before this one. All eyes on me had a real impact on me.

[–]civilamish 101 points102 points  (15 children)

I found a one hour long version on YT without the talking and it was the only thing I listened to while working out for a very long, depressed period last year. That song just fucking hits something deep in me.

[–]ImTay 81 points82 points  (5 children)

I wouldn’t call myself depressed and I’m generally pretty optimistic about most things, but

“You say the ocean’s rising - like I give a shit

You say the whole world’s ending - honey it already did”

Absolutely strikes a chord every time.

[–]SynergythepariahSoundCloud 14 points15 points  (3 children)

Enter Shikari's Waltzing off the face of the Earth (I: Crescendo) gives me similar feelings.

[–]Karfroogle 5 points6 points  (1 child)

For some reason nobody has actually linked the song yet, so here you go: https://youtu.be/1Rx_p3NW7gQ

[–]j3b3di3_ 149 points150 points  (4 children)

I've watched Bo since his first song ever "my whole family thinks I'm gay"

When he got to "If I'm gay then God strike me dead" and starts coughing and playing poorly. I genuinely had to stop the video with how hard I laughed and I knew then and there he was going places... I've said it once and I'll say it again Bo is an ACTUAL genius

[–]Pawneewafflesarelife 39 points40 points  (2 children)

I wrote him off years and years ago when he was quite young because his humor seemed like internet teenage boy humor and I was a bit too old for that. Husband (and raves on Reddit) got me to watch Inside and from about 1/3 of the way through I just kept mumbling "this man is a genius" every few minutes. I really am awestruck by not only his talent but also the candor and emotion he brings to his work. True art.

[–]SH92 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Me too. My younger brother always liked him, but his specials seemed a bit juvenile. He was making jokes that seemed obvious to me, and they lacked any real insight.

I don't know if it was the long break from comedy and possibly the introspection that it brought with it, but this special was on another level.

That being said, I still love this Kanye bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYy0o-J0x20

[–]moldy_walrus 1143 points1144 points  (44 children)

Love that song but “funny feeling” is far and away my favorite

[–]thunderup_14Spotify 318 points319 points  (6 children)

Yes! It hits me right in the existential dread button and I love it.

[–]Pawneewafflesarelife 70 points71 points  (0 children)

When I finished watching "Don't Look Up" I was left feeling so raw and bleak. "That Funny Feeling" was perfect salt in the wound to play afterwards.

[–]ShoMeUrNoobs 26 points27 points  (4 children)

Turning 30 was my personal favorite. It hit me right in the feels. The visuals were spectacular too.

[–]OneADayFlintstones 66 points67 points  (1 child)

I absolutely love the Phoebe Bridgers rendition. There's also a short video where he's seen in the crowd watching her performance and it's the best.

[–]Sclog 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She really killed it with thy cover, it inspired me to make my own cover of it I’m working on.

I can’t even imagine how weird it’s gotta be to win a Grammy for something so raw and personal like that, just adds another layer of emotion on top of the whole thing.

[–]wtfduud 741 points742 points  (65 children)

Welcome To The Internet was my personal favorite from Inside. Though I guess that was more for his execution of it than the lyrics.

[–]Babiesarentcute 252 points253 points  (17 children)

It was “Comedy” for me.

The last parts about the house burning down but calling him for a joke was exactly the kind of cynicism that spoke to me in the face of what seems like yearly global crisis.

It was clear this was an important piece of work that came together at exactly the right moment for many people.

[–]Musaranho 89 points90 points  (2 children)

It's interesting to see how this cynicism grows through the special as the pandemic keeps going and Bo spends more time working on it. In Comedy and Content, it just a little bit of flavour to make the jokes more self-aware. But by the time we get to All Eyes on Me and That Funny Feeling, it's pretty overt. Those songs are not even funny, they're just hard hitting.

[–]synth3tk 25 points26 points  (0 children)

You know, I noticed this but couldn't place my finger on it. The special really changes tone after the halfway point.

[–]Pawneewafflesarelife 22 points23 points  (3 children)

If you wake up in a house that's full of smoke

Don't panic, call me and I'll tell you a joke

I've always wondered if that line was a nod to the bash.org quote:

<tomfoolery> there's a small fire burning in my room

<beretta> lemme guess im supposed to act suprised that you're telling us and not making any attempt to extinguish it, so i can submit it to bash where it will join the ranks of the other "SOMETHING CATOSTROPHIC HAPPENED SO I CAME TO TELL YOU GUYS ON IRC FIRST INSTEAD OF ATTEMPTING TO DEFUSE THE HOSTILE SITUATION" quotes that are grossly abundant, similar, and overrated. and despite a new one is submitted each week and only the location of the fire is altered, loyal viewers firmly believe it is a unique and hilarious quotation, pledging support in the form of unneccesary votes

For a while in the 90s/early 00s it was really common for people to announce an unfolding disaster in IRC for attention instead of...dealing with it. Usually fires.

[–]DrewzyMack 19 points20 points  (4 children)

Honestly, I love Comedy, but my favourite part is the callback to it in Goodbye. Hits like a fucking train.

[–]Adrienne_Barbeaubot 15 points16 points  (3 children)

Those reprises at the end of Goodbye smacked me hard in the face and I love it.

When I'm fully irrelevant and totally broken,

Dammit, call me up and tell me a joke

I'll never not laugh at this video. It's so well done, and the song is so catchy

White Woman’s Instagram is amazing. I really think it’s great because it’s a funny song, funny visuals, you’re laughing along like “haha yeah these dumb basic white girls are so annoying” then it slaps you with the reality that they’re people just like everyone else. They have hardships, feelings, problems, hope, etc. I think on some level it inspires some self reflection as well about how quick we are to judge others.

I feel so called out by that song and I don’t even have IG. For me, it’s a commentary on what I have been taught to be and how boring and distilled it is unless you decide to be different. And being different, of course, means you lose some privilege.

Man I just became a dad and that song fucks me up. I’m over extrapolating but just imaging someone who lost both parents at a young age. I imagine my own daughter going through the basics of teen to adulthood (getting a bf or enter working life) and not having me beside her just breaks me.

The line “give a hug and kiss to dad” dagger to the heart outta nowhere

[–]cobo10201 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From one new dad to another (well, is 2 years still new? I feel like it is), songs about parents or kids fuck me up way more than they used to. Not sure if you’ve seen Encanto but Dos Orugitas turns me into a blubbering fool every time.

[–]InVodkaVeritas 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the Internet and Problematic were my faves.

White Woman's Instagram was hilarious the first time but lacked staying power.

[–]Lafayette-De-Marquis 191 points192 points  (0 children)

He definitely deserves it 100% imo. This dude is a legend of comedy in his own right. I’m not even a big fan just trying to recognize talent.

Apathy is a tragedy and boredom is a crime, one of the best lines in that special

Welcome to the Internet was my favorite on the album. So damn catchy, and so damn dark and true.

[–]iHateBroccoli 39 points40 points  (0 children)

“Well, well, look who’s inside again Went out to look for a reason to hide again”, that hit hard as well.

[–]ge93 753 points754 points  (22 children)

All Eyes on Me is a genuinely fantastic song. The BonIver/James Blake type of autotune harmonizing is so cool.

[–]emseefely 207 points208 points  (16 children)

It’s just so cathartic with the shit we’ve been and still dealing with

"That Funny Feeling" hit the hardest for me. " 🎵20,000 years of this, seven more to go🎵"

[–]unionjackattack 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I remember watching this for the first time and That Funny Feeling brought me to tears. My girlfriend asked me why… and I told her it felt like a lot of my daily suppressed feelings were being exposed by a stranger.

[–]MordredKLB 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The lyrics are hilarious and poignant and devastating, but all of that is wrapped in just this simple little song that is musically perfect. I cannot explain how much that song speaks to me and how impossible it is to get out of my head.

[–]OverlyLenientJudgeSpotify 92 points93 points  (0 children)

"The quiet comprehending of the ending if it all" hit me like a fuckin' truck in the first episode of an Isekai.

[–]AZMadmax 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I loved the bullshit he calls out at the beginning. “Stunning 8k resolution meditation app. In honor of the revolution it’s half off at the gap”

[–]No-One-2177 31 points32 points  (0 children)

That's exactly how I felt about it when it came out. I honestly am not brought to tears very often, but watching his special and it calling back to all those feelings most people experienced in some way or another in the early days of the pandemic, it really had that effect on me. He deserves the award.

[–]NurseLurker 572 points573 points  (0 children)

This whole special was exactly what my empty pandemic heart needed, exactly when I needed it.

[–]ayo_Killy 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Fucking deserved. Inside is one of my favorite pieces of media ever. Fucking brilliant.

[–]dtwhitecp 90 points91 points  (7 children)

I guess I'm watching this and getting completely fucked up by it again today

[–]Pawneewafflesarelife 25 points26 points  (4 children)

Yep, just watched the All Eyes on Me video, started tearing up and realised that I probably need the catharsis, so looks like I'm giving Inside a re-watch.

[–]treetreestwigbranch 210 points211 points  (2 children)

This entire show was a work of art. It made me feel less alone during the pandemic. It truly is a masterpiece and something I believe one day will be brought up when describing 2020.

[–]MyDictainabox 408 points409 points  (46 children)

His latest work really opened my eyes to how brilliant this guy is. Shame on me for it taking this long.

[–]Mad_Aeric 187 points188 points  (11 children)

I started watching him when he was a dumb teenager in his bedroom. Wait, let me rephrase that...

Even way at the beginning you could see that he was genuinely very witty, even though a lot of it was very much the sort of thing you think is funny when you're a kid. His past couple specials were brilliant, but Inside is just another level entirely.

[–]sour29 96 points97 points  (6 children)

This. I remember watching I'm Bo, Yo when he only had two or three videos uploaded to YouTube and laughing my ass off. The jokes were juvenile but the puns and wordplay were majestic. I loved him instantly. Somehow, you're right: he has only gotten better.

Are you feeling nervous?Are you having fun? It’s almost over, it’s just begun…

[–]RedditIsTedious 51 points52 points  (8 children)

I put off watching this because I had pandemic fatigue at the time it came out, feeling like the walls were closing in, and thought it might be too on point. I'll have to give this a look sometime soon.

[–]prstele01 52 points53 points  (1 child)

Drop what you are doing and watch it now.

[–]octoberflavor 26 points27 points  (1 child)

It is a lot to take in. Be kind to yourself if you can’t finish in one sitting. I didn’t know it but pausing halfway and finishing the rest the next night was a really good idea. Absolutely watch it. It is art and you’ll be glad you witnessed what Bo created. If it doesn’t help you process, it will at least validate all your feelings. We are all going through an insane series of events.

[–]conquerorofnothing 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This song got me through my mom's funeral last year. Very powerful and incredibly moving.

[–]GoodDillHunting 11 points12 points  (2 children)

Anyone who sees this and likes Bo Burnham AND hasn't seen "Zach Stone is Gonna Be Famous" I highly recommend. Very funny stuff. It's like 10 years old and it's on some streaming service but I can't remember

His special will go down in history as the quintessential encapsulation of the pandemic era. Perfectly captured.

[–]Adrienne_Barbeaubot 31 points32 points  (1 child)

All without actually mentioning the pandemic a single time. The closest he ever comes to it is when explaining how he was ready to start doing live comedy again until the funniest thing happened...

Fucking magnificent. Well deserved award for sure.

So deserved!! Although I think welcome to the internet and 30 are the best songs from that special

[–]cakeofzerg 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I love this song, well deserved

[–]Logrologist 25 points26 points  (0 children)

So, so, so so so so sososososososo we’ll-deserved. That special, and even just the music alone, is genius, ear-wormy, deep, and so incredibly relatable. But taken together with his solo cinematography, holy shit!

Bravo, sir!

[–]thelittlekingSpotify 3 points4 points  (6 children)

That's the one that won? I mean he def deserved one but that's not the song I would've picked. Still, congrats to him.
