"All eyes on me" is a MUST in this special. I love that you're reacting to Bo because discovering his music at the en of the pandemic was SPECIALLY helpful and healing...
So glad you're continuing to react to this. "Inside" is straight up genius and it's obvious Bo has had mental health issues and found his own unique ways to deal with it. Like most of us did during the pandemic, except he's way funnier. I wish him the best and hope to see him return to the comedy routine!
"Bo is using humor to cope with and share with us the harsh reality of what is going on society" your understanding of gallows humor is so refreshing, I've seen so many folks see this and go lol funny sock man and not realize the mental implications that got him there in the brain state to make this.
Watching your eyes go wider and wider as Socko does his thing is wonderful to behold. This song can be cut and disected in so many different ways, that I am sure, people have already written essays about it. Great reaction, you are as insightful as ever. Keep up the good work
Lovely observations you have. I noticed you also reacted to “Can’t Handle This,” and I think you’d REALLY like “All Eyes on Me” from the Inside special from Netflix as well. Unlike most of his work, it is completely serious-and in it he discusses his anxiety issues and setbacks. Melodically it’s the most beautiful music he’s ever created, a song for which he rightfully won a Grammy.
I just discovered your channel just this afternoon, hours ago, through your Bo Burnham reactions (watched all of them in a row). I was so confused for a minute like "damn how did I miss that one?"
Yes, his genius on starting with banalities, engaging on deeper subjectd most of us agree to and then revealing a sense of autocritic that questions our approach to the subject is such a strong artistic vein he has. "White Woman's Instagram", for instance, manages to pull the carpet from under a trope and from our "throwing stones while having glass ceilings" online habits! Definitely recommend.
You’re right, it’s so important for comedians to bring everyone along, as they point out the cracks in society. Josh Johnson, the standup, is also brilliant at this and i strongly recommend his YT channel. He posts almost 30 minutes of new material every week.
Funny story, Bo actually composed a lot of the music for the most recent Sesame Street movie! I love the dive you’re taking into Bo’s work!!! I have to recommend: -All Eyes on Me -That Funny Feeling -Left Brain, Right Brain -We Think We Know You All are deeply introspective and fascinating pieces of art. Cheers!
Like you comment to this Bo. But encourage you to start at beginning: Bo in his attic bedroom when he was 16 and work your way up. He was genius from start. 76 yr old here have never come across anyone like him. So brilliant. He should represent our state: Mass.
I’d love to see what you think of The Chicken and/or All Eyes on Me. The Chicken was from The Inside Outtakes, and All Eyes on Me was in Inside. I love your Bo Burnham reactions and can’t wait to see more.
Funny thing is that in Germany we have a whole cultural thing about "serious comedy", it's called Kabarett. Talking about actual political things in a way that makes you laugh but feel very queasy. Volker Pispers take on America in the Middle East is a masterclass of that. Highly recommend if you ever get to it, it has pretty good english subtitles!
I love that now you've become more familiar with Bo's work, your expression is similar to mine every time I would discover a new song from him: joyful, impressed, but also like.... "where is this going?" lol
That Funny Feeling next please It's actually a good song that I could potentially hear being played on a kind of folk song radio station because it's that good and sounds like a real song. Not that his other songs aren't real, That Funny Felling just hits different and really doesn't have or make jokes. It's also been covered by the artist Phoebe Bridgers. There's a video out there where Bo is at one of Phoebe's concerts while she preforms his song.
This is one of my favorite Bo Burnham songs. I got in a little trouble for showing it to my 14 year old nephew. Love your analysis videos thanks so much for making them!
You ABSOLUTELY must review the song, That Funny Feeling, in that “Inside” special by Bo… it PERFECTLY sums up the path we are all headed on especially after this past election… it’s HAUNTING, truthful, heartbreaking, and just so smart and moving.
Loved this reaction video. I enjoy Bo's work. But if you're interested in more social commentary, satire, or even heartfelt and thought provoking, please try pretty much anything available on RUclips that is done by Tim Minchin. I especially recommend "The Fence", "White Wine in the Sun", "Lullaby", "Carry You", "Rock n Roll Nerd", "Perfect" and "Play It Safe", to name just a few! Tim Minchin was an inspiration for Bo's work. Your welcome in advance 😉
I heavily recommend checking out the song “Daddy” by Korn, it’s honestly probably the most vulnerable I’ve ever seen a musician be (like EVER). It’s a hard listen because the song is about the singer getting raped by his babysitter when he was a kid, and his parents didn’t believe him when he told them and they just didn’t care and kept hiring him anyways. It’s just a piece of art tbh
Me: sits back and waits for it Socko: And every politician; every cop on the street protects the interests of the pedophilic corporate elite! Jim "Oh god 😅, OK 😅, I think that's plenty for us to process! 😅" Me: thought she was safe and Jim was running the video thru for another few lyrics Me: spits her inadvisably-taken sip of tea across the table... Edit: as you watch Bo's cobtent, DO NOT skip That Funny Feeling (reactors seem to not notice it?) and The Chicken (which was technically left on the cutting room floor in editing).
All Eyes on Me, Welcome to the Internet, Kill Yourself, and Lower Your Standards, and Left Brain, Right Brain are very good. These are his most psychological and most mental songs. Also, Sexring and White Woman's Instagram are more sociological.
Lower Your Expectations* but yeah, great list. Yet, one could easily add The Breakup Song, Look Who's Inside Again, Goodbye, The Chicken, Are You Happy.. man, Bo just has so many hard hitting songs
Bo was on an ep of The Green Room, with ray romano and marc maroon, and said one of his comedey icons was a Dutch comedian who used a black sock hand puppet in his acts while playing piano , this bit for bo his him honoring one of inspirations that led him into his stardom in comedy.
That song is actually one of the things that shook my worldview. I was able to understand how I had been centering myself in other people’s problems.
Same! As it turns out, my moral self-judgment does nothing to improve the material well-being of myself or anyone else.
"All eyes on me" is a MUST in this special. I love that you're reacting to Bo because discovering his music at the en of the pandemic was SPECIALLY helpful and healing...
It was blocked, but available on Patreon. Thanks

Wow, thank you!
socko’s been reading up on his marxist theory!
🤣👍
Long live Comrade Socko lol

I agree to almost full extent to what you wrote here! Perhaps I’d argue, melodically, The Chicken definitely has won it for me.
All Eyes On Me was blocked by YT, but it’s available on Patreon. Thank you for helping me spread the healing power of music.
Lots of reactors during the first part: "Wow this is awesome, I should show my kids!"
After the 2nd part when Socko is involved: "Nevermind."
Before Inside, Sesame Street was in talks with Bo about a movie or something.
After Inside: nevermind
LMAO seriously, its so funny how much that happens
I just discovered your channel just this afternoon, hours ago, through your Bo Burnham reactions (watched all of them in a row). I was so confused for a minute like "damn how did I miss that one?"
Great job, btw

glass house, the glass ceiling is something else

All are deeply introspective and fascinating pieces of art.

The Chicken is great!

Bo Burnham is *so talented* and he has a very unique way of saying *"The Quiet"* part OUT LOUD! 😂🤣😂
I'm unironically a socko believer
Enjoying this Bo journey with you. Nice of socko to stop by too!
Socko is a busy guy, but I’m grateful he was able to join me! 🤣
Man, that last minute, where Bo makes Socko apologize & call him sir is so freaking deep. 🎶That is how the world works🎶
Socko radicalized me. ✊
I love that now you've become more familiar with Bo's work, your expression is similar to mine every time I would discover a new song from him: joyful, impressed, but also like.... "where is this going?" lol
Just found your channel. Love your message about music healing. Cant wait to discover more of your videos
That Funny Feeling next please
It's actually a good song that I could potentially hear being played on a kind of folk song radio station because it's that good and sounds like a real song.
Not that his other songs aren't real, That Funny Felling just hits different and really doesn't have or make jokes.

That’s exactly who you should be showing it to!🤣👍
LOVE Bo!!!!! in this one i love how Bo is actually singing about how nature works.....socko speaks of how humans work!
Sock spits only facts!
The moment the music just stops creates so much perfectly timed tension.
Socko dropping bars 😂
You ABSOLUTELY must review the song, That Funny Feeling, in that “Inside” special by Bo… it PERFECTLY sums up the path we are all headed on especially after this past election… it’s HAUNTING, truthful, heartbreaking, and just so smart and moving.
RIP My boi Socko. He was a real one fr fr

This feels painfully relevant at the moment
Please review more Bo. So many bangers! He is a genius. BTW, I rarely if ever, use the word Genius.
Socko is actually a character from a Swedish stand up comedian.
Me: sits back and waits for it
Socko: And every politician; every cop on the street protects the interests of the pedophilic corporate elite!
Jim "Oh god 😅, OK 😅, I think that's plenty for us to process! 😅"
Me: thought she was safe and Jim was running the video thru for another few lyrics
Me: spits her inadvisably-taken sip of tea across the table...
Edit: as you watch Bo's cobtent, DO NOT skip That Funny Feeling (reactors seem to not notice it?) and The Chicken (which was technically left on the cutting room floor in editing).
More Bo!!!🎉🎉
Great reaction man, I’d love to hear your thoughts on That Funny Feeling by Bo 😊
Only facts. I recommended this to Trash Talkers React a few years ago and it was hilarious at the halfway point to see them be like "Hold up"
So good
I love how Bo not only taught but also demonstrated capitalist oppression in such a short song.
This one is complex lmao.
I suggest Problem solving song by bo.
All Eyes on Me, Welcome to the Internet, Kill Yourself, and Lower Your Standards, and Left Brain, Right Brain are very good. These are his most psychological and most mental songs. Also, Sexring and White Woman's Instagram are more sociological.
Lower Your Expectations* but yeah, great list. Yet, one could easily add The Breakup Song, Look Who's Inside Again, Goodbye, The Chicken, Are You Happy.. man, Bo just has so many hard hitting songs
I would LOVE to see him do Left brain/right brain!
I love Socko
Me too. I was fortunate enough to get his autograph before he left. 🤣
Bo was on an ep of The Green Room, with ray romano and marc maroon, and said one of his comedey icons was a Dutch comedian who used a black sock hand puppet in his acts while playing piano , this bit for bo his him honoring one of inspirations that led him into his stardom in comedy.
