lmao with "sitcom gay" he refers to somebody being stereotypically gay. Sitcoms often portray gay characters as comic relief for their gayness, so Bo's kind of saying he doesn't like having a gay son because he doesn't act like him being gay is something funny.
When I first heard this it made me think about how much your answer to the question "What's funny?" Describes what kind of person you are and overall who you are.
I feel like an idiot for just realizing, but this song is called "what's funny", and one of his shows is called "what." What is funny. Holy shit. edit 2 years later: guys i know it's not from what and i know it's probably unintentional, just thought it was a neat coincidence whether or not it was deliberate
The thing I love about this song is that he basically takes every comedy trope he can think of and then asks the audience "what's funny" and the thing is he never lets the audience answer

Actually... Bo Burnham gets a mention in John Mulaney's Netflix special, Sack Lunch Bunch. Bo also mentions John Mulaney when discussing the f*g-word during a podcast on how they are both "feminine" acting comedians or something.
This song has the same chord progression as Goodbye . It means his first special’s first song and his last special’s last song are very similar . Full circle :,)
I don't know why Bo reminds me so much of Shaun of Assassin's Creed, the only differences I can see is that Shaun uses glasses and that Bo IS actually funny
Whwb I first watched this I thought it was a cry for help. But after watching all his other stuff it just seems like everything else he does: poking fun at the weird things in life we mostly glaze over at
I feel like this song is just him repeating that his show, what, is funny to himself over and over again. This is so brilliant, especially since his show is called “What”.
Go to 3:16 in this video. Listen to that progression. Then go to “ironic” and listen to the operation line. Fucking nuts. If you go to the ironic video on this channel it’s at 2:26

So long, goodbye

You can pick the street

So long, goodbye
Do I really have to finish?
Do returns always diminish?
Did I say that right?
Does anybody want to joke
When no one's laughing in the background?
So this is how it ends
I promise to never go outside again
So long, bye
I'm slowly losing power
Has it only been an hour?
No, that can't be right
So long, goodbye

How 'bout I sit on the couch
And I watch you next time
I wanna hear you tell a joke
When no one's laughing in the background

Am I going crazy?
Would I even know?
Am I right back where I started fourteen years ago?

A little bit of everything all of the time

When I'm fully irrelevant and totally broken
Dammit, call me up and tell me a joke
Oh shit, you're really joking at a time like this?

The beginning part is literally the start of "Goodbye", just faster.

Holy shit i just got the “joke.. exactly” joke now. Damn.

RandomFandom MemeTeam that would probably work
My dad complains about why i spend all my time watching horror related stuff instead of comedy so i showed him this
I wish this was from what because than the title would be stating something instead of a question
this is the same melody from the ending song in ‘inside’ :,)
0:16 fun fact
im pretty sure that this part of the piano is a speed up version of the piano in Goodbye from Inside
Goodbye is the slowed down version of this one
"When I was a baby maybe I laughed" his voice there was nice
2:07 This is so true😂 Best jokes are often just observation without exaggeration...
He was great, it's sad that he no longer does this.
