"How the f*** is a sock giving me an existential crisis" is the exact correct reaction to this song! 😄 Hope you decide to do more Bo. I have a Patreon or something, you could always do a full length reaction on there. I would pay to see that!
You actually need a take a journey to Bo Burnham's specials to actually understand what a genius he is. I would recommended you go in order. Start with "God's Perspective" and "Left Brain Right Brain". Trust me. Don't go backwards like other people are suggesting in the comments, take them in order, you won't regret it.
Those are two of my favourite ones! Lower Your Expectations is also SO FUN! Especially Left Brain, Right Brain, but I have ADHD & my brain is kinda at war 24/7 so maybe that’s why that one got me extra personally, it felt like my brain was talking to me through Bo, I’ve literally discussed Left and Right Brain convos I’ve had with myself, so that song was like “How is he in my brain?!”, he’s amazing.
hey 2j i didn't know you were a bo burnham fan! (also just realised how similar both of your content is, blending comedy with actual real world problems!)
When you said something along the line of this is less complex than welcome to internet, and I just let out a laugh because I just know the way that opinion will change lmaooo
All the songs in his 2020 special Inside are in chronological order, and this song comes at around the halfpoint of the film. That means this song was written/performed around late May or early/mid June of that same year, and I think we all remember what happened then. As a Minneapolis resident myself, I'll never forget the taste of the CS gas that permeated the air.
4:00 ROFL, yeah...that took a HARD LEFT turn...and you have the best reaction to the ending...even after those who step out of line are beaten into submission, they will still be removed just for daring to challenge the system and as a future risk to the system, must be purged...
You got it! Socko is a Gold Toe sock...the long wearing, well made, reasonably priced work horse sock of the middle class in the US. My grand dad, Dad, brothers, hubs and son all get them for Christmas and make a big joke of throwing them over their shoulder. If I know Bo, pretty sure that is part of the commentary as well. I know I am late to discovering your reactions but I really enjoy your takes on Bo and would love to see more.
The problem with reality is we all know the truth if we're willing to look at it. Unfortunately almost none of are strong enough or in the right position to do anything.
This is great. I wish I was you and could watch Inside for the first time again. You're in for a treat. 😁 Plus Bo just released a one hour 'outtakes' film from Inside. He *is* a genius. You'll love it. Beware though- it is a whole existential crisis mood. I'm looking forward to more Bo reactions 😊
To really understand some of the context of this video, you really need to check of the full video of Bo Burnham in the greenroom. Not only did he outsmart & outjoke most of the comedians there (& at the time he was just 20) but some of the actual basis for this song came out of it.
This is genuinely my favorite reaction to any Bo vid. Thank you for sharing it. I know this vid is old and you might not see this, but you should definitely check out Inside. I know it's not easy to react to, but even if it's just for yourself, you should check it out.
I’m so glad you enjoyed! I recorded a reaction to inside but it keeps getting blocked no matter what I do unfortunately. I made a Patreon recently I think I might put it up there so at least it’s uploaded somewhere but nah I been trying to post an inside reaction for aaaagges
Wow. You have my favorite reaction to this song yet. And I watch a lot of them. 😆 The sock is yellow on the end because it's a brand calked gold toe socks. They have been around forever. Reasonably priced, well made, good sock. And actually make real different sizes so if your hubby is 6'4" he doesn't have to wear the same socks as your 5'6" son. Their sign are is the gold toe no matter the color of sock. Santa brings them every year to our house. 😉 Not sure if it has deeper meaning here or just happens to be Bo's actual sock.
I think this song is showing three different perspectives on how the world works, the first one is upbeat but too idealistic and simplistic, the second one is still too simplistic, the third perspective shows more of the actual world, how people can get silenced by those in power.
If you're definitely in Bo then don't watch anymore inside. Start with initial RUclips videos 'my family thinks' 'im Bo yo' are comedy, 'eff' 'rant' are serious rap Then move to his comedy specials then inside. Not just for reaction but at your own time.

That last part is the most brutal. Only get rid of them once you've broken them and made them publicly admit you've won.
It hurt

it's literally the 4th song. Don't know where u got the halfpoint from

"Its a sesame street thing"
Yeah, about that
Bo will make the music for the new sesame street movie
That song lost its way to sesame street and Bo just took it "inside"
❤️
I think focusing on working with young people like in Eighth Grade and Sesame Street is really helping Bo's mental health.
1:30 "it's a really nice and cheery song" (my pov: pepeLaugh he doesn't know....)
Great reaction! The only suggestion is try to watch these without subtitles. Getting ahead of Bo kinda kills his comic timing.
Yup, subtitles ruin punchlines.
I disagree. We're not all native English speakers, and the subtitles help so many ppl understand, or even learn something new
You got it!

We're strong enough together, that's why they divide us.
can't handle this (kanye rant) from his special make happy
Seconded!
Definitely do a full Inside reaction!
Good reaction! Bo has many great songs including "From God's Perspective", "Country Songs", "Can't Handle This" and many more...
You can see his brain literally breaking

Socko is based
Socko spits straight facts
This is genuinely my favorite reaction to any Bo vid. Thank you for sharing it. I know this vid is old and you might not see this, but you should definitely check out Inside. I know it's not easy to react to, but even if it's just for yourself, you should check it out.

Socko is a character inspired by me, and that's actually a fact.
imagine if some poor teacher saw the first bits of the song and played it in front of a class without knowing what the rest did
Please. Please. Please go watch Make Happy, but post your reaction to the final song. Then, and only then, go watch inside
Wow. You have my favorite reaction to this song yet. And I watch a lot of them. 😆

Their sign are is the gold toe no matter the color of sock.
Santa brings them every year to our house. 😉
Not sure if it has deeper meaning here or just happens to be Bo's actual sock.
I really like your reactions. Very funny and feels genuine
Yes, you get it!!!
Awesome reaction!! Spot on you got it
I think this song is showing three different perspectives on how the world works, the first one is upbeat but too idealistic and simplistic, the second one is still too simplistic, the third perspective shows more of the actual world, how people can get silenced by those in power.
He’s actually writing for the sesame street movie 😌
Here's a few of my favorites:
Cant handle this (Kanye Rant)
Rant (Catholicism)
From God's perspective
Words Words Words
New Math
I’m so curious what the room you’re in actually looks like behind the green screen
Your reactions are my favourite!
You need to watch the special bro. You NEED to.
You should take a look at all eyes on me and also what is referred to as the Kanye rant by bo burnham
That funny feeling
Yes you should watch inside, but you should also watch “what”it’s his first special and its golden as well
The Kanye rant
The country music song is great.
Technically it was the CIA
You should react to repeat stuff, the live version is better than the music video in my opinion.
I dissagree. But it might be a matter of taste. The music video is driving the point home visually and that just does it for me.
I always say do them both. First the stage version, then the music video.
new today Battlelore ElvenKing video a must watch for you
that sock, is alex jones, its weird but tough
Destiny looks different
I think you would like From God's Perspective by Bo
1985.
Wait til the line is over before you react otherwise it’s obvious you’re re-listening
If you are interested in something new and, maybe for you experimental react to KARDASHEV - GLASS PHANTOMS
If you're definitely in Bo then don't watch anymore inside. Start with initial RUclips videos 'my family thinks' 'im Bo yo' are comedy, 'eff' 'rant' are serious rap
Then move to his comedy specials then inside. Not just for reaction but at your own time.
React to Jeffery bazos
Why do reaction channels need to yell?
