Interestingly, even with auto-tune you can still tell Bo is a good singer because he isn't getting the "warbling" effect you get when Autotune has a hard time adjusting your voice because you're hitting in between. The fact that it's "clean" like that means he's hitting the notes he's meaning to pretty bang on. Bo has often expressed frustration with his range as a singer (i.e. not being able to hit as high or low of notes as he'd like) and I think often uses autotune as a method to extend his range, which is a very different usage than people using it to cover for poor singing.
Someone did "All Eyes On Me" but removed the auto tune. You should give it a listen.
@@Reblwitoutacause pthere wasn't autotune there though, his voice was just lowered a third
That’s not necessarily true. Sure if you’re a terrible singer, you won’t sound good with autotune but there’s a lot of parameters you can set within autotune to make sure there’s no warbling.
And the autotune for this song was to sound like the kanye rant.
@@mabeylane7163 I think he means live primarily, obviously when its recorded each individual note can be modified via flex pitch or melodyne, but thats not a option live, you basically just select a key and strength, and try not to mess up too badly lmfao
Can't Handle This literally makes me cry every time. Bo has several songs in which he talks about his mental health, depression, "Robert's not okay" ect. This breaks my heart seeing this man who brings joy and laughter to so many as he is breaking and revealing the pain behind his mask. Oof. I want to give the man a hug.
I can’t commend him enough for being so open about his struggles with his mental health. I feel it makes it easier for people to express their own struggles when they see that someone they can look up to, who they wouldn’t expect to be dealing with that stuff, talks about it.
this special (Make Happy) was his last tour before he took a 5 year break from performing, he was having severe panic attacks on stage every night (he was having one during this song, he's said he went backstage after this & broke down), you'll discover a lot more about his mental health struggles when you delve into Inside.
In regards to this song, I remember watching the special when it came out & crying laughing during the whole thing, but once it got to this song (besides the funny beginning) I SOBBED. full on ugly cry. he has a wonderful way of articulating these feelings & i felt it in my damn bones. v excited to see your reactions to his most recent stuff.
totally agree. I have always been able to see shadows of my own insecurities and anxieties in his art, especially with his crowdless performance seemingly coming right after. Adds a lot of context, especially once you watch the whole thing
Same. I cry every time I watch this. Seeing the pain behind this hilarious man's mask hits home and breaks my heart. Some of his songs scare me when he talks about depression and pain because it's so real in so many of our lives.
All that Chipotle part it has been interpreted as him describing all the things he is struggling with and no one warning him that he was going to, and if he would've known about it he would have make the chices he make; and actually right before that part he says "Let's do this!" leaving behind the part of the jokes and diving into his problems for real.
@@frodocruz33 he's said himself that that was never his intention & that bit was purely for laughs, but that's what i love about art, it can have so many different interpretations to so many different people
@@anarchobaby He literally addresses it during Inside.
apparently, after he performed Cant Handle This, he went backstage and just sobbed for like 2 hours
Yeah. He had a big panic attack. But once he had recovered he went out to the meet&greet for the fans who had waited for him while he was having a panic attack. Which is so strong of him!! Panic attacks are absolutely exhausting to experience. So the fact that he went out afterwards is huge. Major props to Bo for that...I don't think I would have been able to do that if I were in his shoes.
@@AnxietyRat you can also tell how quickly he rushed to get off stage, it’s like he tried walk off but forgot he had to actually bow and say bye and stuff
Alice: "i can't watch the end of What"
Alice: *proceeds to watch the end of Make happy *
Lmaoo
I thought that was a funny transition into the next song
Oh man... I wrote practically the same thing but you beat me to it
I think the ending of What is amazing, so is missing out on a good track not watching it
Irony can be so painful.
I think watching the specials as a whole gives you a lot of interesting (and funny) lead in and out of the individual songs and bits. Later specials also have an overarching theme and an emotional journey, that might be missed with watching it piecemeal.
Also if you watch the specials in full, the punchlines of certain songs won’t be spoiled in the titles of the songs.
You put words on my thoughts
Agreed
Bo has never been on my radar before "Inside". I don't know, was never a fan of musical comedy. But "Inside" changed my opinion 180°. That special left me devastated and exhausted and I'm in love with Bo ever since. From his old YT word play stuff to his specials, even his directorial work in "Eighth grade" is such a masterpiece. He's a heavyweight, when it comes to content creation.
In "Can't handle This" he mixed the auto tune himself, first with a foot pedal, then he turned the knobs when he was down on his knees. Every bit from the Kanye intro through the Pringles, the daughter to burrito was exactly there to lure the audience to the edge, just to push us over with his breakdown. Gosh, even the little tongue ad lib was there to drop our guard completely, so the next stab could be more effective. Bo knows how to manipulate an audience as the salute during "Repeat Stuff" or the raised hands in the Pringles bit.
I'm always excited to accompany you on this journey. Loved your reaction! I'll be back for sure sis :)
you should check out Promising Young Women, he gives a really great performance. and watching the interviews and behind the scenes, it's really great to see how other talented people treat and react to him.
He is a special part of the modern movement, just look at "How the World Works"
@@BenJaMindReacts I know it already, but I'm going to dive into these behind the scenes. That movie was absolutely fantastic. Thanks!
sounds like your rader is broke. sorry I didn't read after that, it was too long, I didn't read. Literally.
He was having panic attacks onstage so he stopped performing live for 5 years... Then came "Inside"
Interesting wording
the great part about cant handle this is that bo is controlling all the lights and vocal effects himself with foot pedals. makes you have way more respect for his talent as well as the fact he is doing it all while having a massive panic attack. i love it so much. also all the little things like the burrito being a metaphor for fame and how he couldnt handle all the ingredients. amazing
This isn’t true! At all! He had a sound guy and a lighting guy, they’re in the credits, you’re literally lying right now, wtf???
@@amy_grace he did the sounds only for that song though, you can see him turning the pitch knobs, he also has a reverb pedal
His “What.” special (full show on his YT channel) he wrote and produced straight out of his own pocket and is made for his fans to view intentionally free so copyright shouldn’t be an issue IIRC
What. still does have some copyright issues. Making it free to view does not mae it free to distribute
That’s just not true, and not how copyright works. It doesn’t have a different legal status than any of his other specials as far as reactions are concerned. Bo put it into his contract with Netflix that he could post what. on his RUclips channel for free-which he’s said is “a mistake they weren’t going to repeat” for Make Happy, btw-so *Bo* is allowed to put it on RUclips. That doesn’t give anyone else any permission to do anything with it.
So going completely from interviews with Bo and not on here say, this special was filmed from two performances on the same day. The first one he was very stressed and nervous with the pressure to get it right, he did have a panic attack as had happened before during the tour. He left stage, broke down, sobbed and was shaking for at least an hour and needed oxygen. Then he had to pull himself back together and do it all again, this time more calmly. The special cuts back and forth continually between the two shows. Apart from the obvious pull to feel sympathy towards him for what he's going through, I am so in awe of the strength it must have taken to do that.
I can't remember the last time I saw someone laugh as hard as you did during the first half of Can't Handle This! That breakdown(pun unintended) in the second half of the song must have given you whiplash.
I highly recommend watching All Eyes On Me next, where he discusses what was going through his head during Can't Handle This.
I've been waiting to see Alice fall literally off her chair for ages... geeezzz that was close
I would decidedly NOT recommend All Eyes on Me for the next reaction. I'd say continue with the progression and she'll eventually get there.
All Eyes on Me would lose a lot of meaning if too soon and out of context
@@leftofpunk I would have agreed, but since she already skipped right to Can't Handle This...
@@dauntingbutthereyougo6910 So would watching Can't Handle This too soon and out of context but she seems to have survived. 😛
The best thing about Bo songs is when they make you laugh at first and then towards the middle/end just punch you straight in the gut.
You definitely need to watch “We think We Know You”. Timeline wise, it was done between Repeat Stuff and Can’t Handle This. Even without full context, you can watch the 3 in order and follow his journey
At this point Bo was having full on panic attacks on stage. Tunnel vision, racing heart beat, fear. He got through the shows because they were heavily scripted and he was on autopilot. But he would go backstage and cry for hours. After this show was recorded he didn’t perform comedy for 5 years.
At the end of the full "Make Happy" special, there's a pre recorded song that plays right after "Can't Handle This" called "Are You Happy?". It's def one my top three favorite Bo Songs because it caused me to have an unexpected emotional reaction the first time I heard it, and I love songs like that. From then on, I've loved watching them both together. I would highly recommend watching the full special even if it's not for a video. Anyway, I'm gonna go watch "Are You Happy?' and let it make me cry for the hundredth time lol
you would swear from "are you happy" that he knew what special he was going to be making in 5 years, because he cuts it so that he walks off stage and straight into that room we're so familiar with now
@@neomp5 right! I kind of felt like that one song in the middle of inside was a call back to Are You Happy? How he asks the audience how they're feeling/what they're thinking in a similar kind of way but obviously in inside he brushes it away and just says "I dont wanna know."
"Fun" fact: I'm pretty sure Bo Said in an interview that one of the times he had a panic attack on stage was DuRiNg the finale of Make Happy - i.e., Can't Handle This. Dude was experiencing a medical, neurological event, alone on stage, surrounded by an amphitheater of strangers with whom he'd just broken the fourth wall, & ChAnNeLeD that ish like Pikachu channels fking lightning. Legend.
Hey! Long time lurker/watcher!
I realllllly recommend that you take the time to watch the specials in full and in order. His work as a comedian and artist really starts to mature and develop with the specials, and if you don't watch them in order you'll miss that. Going straight to any of the songs from inside I think would detract from the experience because Bo builds on the concepts he touches on in previous specials and it really makes for a "hell of a ride."
Also they're just amazing and need to be watched.
Love your reaction and I've been enjoying the whole journey with you!
"Come and watch the skinny kid with the steadily declining mental health, and laugh as he attempts to give you what he can not give himself."
I can literally THINK of this line and get goosebumps. Anywhere. Any time.
React to "From God's Perspective" !!
She already has
Do you not go to peoples pages and look at what they’ve already done before just spewing demands out?
I cried after I saw this. As someone suffering from SPA and depression Bo is a star.. and how it goes from joy to darkness in a second is just how it works for some of us.. great reaction
Hey its been some time but reaching out to say thx for sharing and hope your hanging in there. Your not alone keep on keeping on.
I found it funny that she unknowingly skipped from the finale of What. to the finale of Make Happy
...and now you know why he has the fans he has...in that moment when he is having a panic attack and still the show must go on we all want to hug him and tell him we were OK with him taking the break he needed, bc we knew whatever he did would be great...and it was. IS. Thank you for taking this journey 💖
Respect for picking up on the severity ,seriousness and sadness of the ending of "Can't handle this". I have seen a number of reactions of people by which this went completely over their head.
They just kept laughing and thought this was funny, when in reality it is really sad. You basically see him having a panic attack and mental breakdown on stage and call out for help to an audience that for a large part didn't get that.
And I think he describes it so well what it is like to be a content creator and being hit by that amount of success.
Would definitely watch a full special reaction.
Wooohooo, you did it! :D BTW. there are a lot more songs of him left then the four on his channel and "Inside" :)
Thank you for being one of the ONLY reactors who doesn’t pause his work while reacting, it’s so frustrating and unnecessary for anyone to do it and yet most do. What they don’t realize is that that’s not how it was meant to be experienced. It’s a performance, a magic trick, it’s not meant to be paused to break down what we already know is happening. Otherwise the magic trick doesn’t work. I would much rather people watch it twice and break it down on the second watch, similarly to what you do. So for real, thank you. Great channel. Keep up the good work✌🏻
You had an amazing reaction and you definitely understand that he was hurting when you should've understood! Great work all around!🤙Also this was the precursor to his "All eyes on me" video from his new special! Maybe look into it!
if you do "What." just make a video per beat or "act" lol
And pretty sure Bo put the whole special up on his channel for free so doubt it'll get claimed.
Also there's a whole lotta Bo before 'what' if u wanna dive into that first like his
Bo fo Sho - EP album (6 songs),
Bo Burnham - Studio album (13 songs),
Words, Words, Words - Studio album (16 songs)
What - there are some extras that he doesnt perform in the special too that are worth watching.
^Some of them are repeats and you've heard a few of them already but there are still so many others before make happy and inside ...feel like kanye rant from his make happy special is a huuuge leap forward from where you were like gotta get that backstory dawg - jumping into inside (includes last 4 videos on his channel) would be confusing as his character and style changes so much.
In the spirit of going on the journey and burnhaming through 'em all I vote take it slow lol
Love your reactions! I remember seeing his "Can't handle" performance live in Vegas for his Make Happy tour and it was such a gift and I would do anything to watch it for the first time again!
ALSO about how to feel after that ending for the show trust me when I say WE ALL CHEERED LIKE THERE WAS NO TOMORROW! And then he came out for 1 more song and sang Oh Bo lmao
As someone who suffers with anxiety and depression, it made me cry and want to give him a hug. I could see the panic. I've had a breakdown, it's terrifying, exhausting and I recognised the symptoms and really felt for him. That third, unplanned scream, you just really feel for him. The entire song, the Pringles and the Burrito bit are all metaphors, even the part about having a daughter is a metaphor.
This was a super entertaining reaction. Great video.
Also, your "Ok Byeeeeee" cracked me up, Bo does a similar Byeeee during Inside.
I highly recommend watching his specials. What, Make Happy and Inside in that order. Especially Inside, the context and progression is so important.
When you get to the Inside videos, you should really watch the entire special and upload (to the best of your ability) the reactions to each part. I’ve seen people do reactions to them individually but when you watch the whole thing, it gives you a whole different perspective of Bo and what he’s trying to convey.
I'd love it if you did What in pieces. Probably more than 2, maybe 4 would be better?
Some of those last songs you mentioned are from Inside by the way.
The finale of What. shook me to this day. he has three specials (What., Make Happy, and Inside) and they all have rather profound endings.
Can’t handle this is hard for me to watch sometimes because he’s said how he went back stage after filming Make Happy and was sobbing and shaking and completely broke down (search Bo Burnham Anxiety he talks about it on the H3 Podcast there’s some clips on YT). You should watch the whole special if you feel up to it (same with Inside). The song at the end (are you happy?) makes me cry every time.
Can't Handle This is Bo's magnum opus. There are many songs that he's done before and after that are amazing, but this one has humor (including the perfect method of overdoing a joke), as well as breaks down his mental state as a performer so well. It is just perfect. A few years after he released this, my ex-wife overdosed in front of our kids (she survived, but has been in and out of prison since) and I was alone to raise all four kids. I certainly felt like I couldn't handle that, but here I am over five years later.
Good for you for raising 4 kids with so much happening with your wife.stay strong.
In an interview, Bo was talking about Can’t Handle This, and he was saying how he intentionally cut to the audience just being a black faceless mass, because that’s all he sees when he’s onstage performing. I think that’s part of where the fear comes in
At the end of can’t handle this bo was actively having a panic attack. The last two yells were bot planned it was just him trying to get it all out. And after he left the stage he sobbed for like 2 hours. He inspires me so much
''Can't Handle This'' ALWAYS brings me to tears.
A lot of people miss how when he goes back to the burrito part of the song, he’s coming full circle and letting us know that what he’s really talking about is the life and fame he’s got now. He “wouldn’t have gotten [it if he ]knew it wouldn’t fit”
That blew my mind when I realized it.
So good 👌🏼
there's a reactor called chris reacts who splits bo's standups into short clips and reacts to the whole special in order. you could do it like him. he did the whole inside and make happy special without any copyrights i'm pretty sure
Woof... You jumped waaaay ahead by going straight to the final song of "Make Happy" the Kanye Rant.... You're way out of order now. And you should know "Welcome To The Internet" and "White Woman's Instagram" are both from "Inside" the special he just released last summer after a five year break from comedy. The last song he did before that five year break was "Are You Happy" which is the end credits song he sings at the end of "Make Happy." The real end of Make Happy as a show though is the song you just watched the Kanye Rant. So you're kind of in and out if the specials right now. I don't even think you've seen all the songs from his first special.
The order is 1) Comedy Central Presents Bo Burnham. 2) Word, Words, Words 3) What 4) Make Happy 5) Inside.
If you wanted to follow his work chronologically the right way would be to check the song order on each special and watch them in order and then go back and watch the entire special from start to finish to get all the in between song context that is often missed when someone just clips the song. Sadly you sort of spoiled the big finale of "Make Happy" for yourself but if you read this hopefully you'll at least have a better understanding of where you actually are in the chronology of his work right now so you can make a better informed choice on how to move forward.
The first time I saw this on the special, I recognized that I just witnessed something special... I was just dumbfounded, heart was breaking when he was yelling and ended with "I hope you're happy..."
No is brilliant and so talented, it breaks my heart to know he was going through such hard problems yet still felt like he had to please everyone around him.he touches my heart with how honest and vulnerable and how brave he is.he's an amazing performer and artist.
Yes,please do the entire Inside show.👍🙂✌
BO!!! Not No!!sorry,auto corrected again.
After that performance he quit for 5 years, then he released “inside” which he made by himself in his room during covid. I think you should react to that special as a whole
It's been great seeing his work evolve over the years and he just gets better and better. At the point where he's clearly documenting his own mental breakdown you can see why he took five years off.
“Welcome to the internet” and “White woman’s Instagram” are part of the “Inside” special. You could watch the whole show of “What” and “Make Happy” split up into parts. Someone definitely has it broken into time stamps. I know people are excited for you to get to “Inside” but if you wanted to keep it semi-chronological, there are still several songs, bits, poetry, and things to get through. “Sad”, “#deep”, “Left Brain/ Right Brain”, “We Think we know you” and more
Regardless of what order you decide to watch them in, I’m sure you will have a blast
You have possibly the best reaction vids to his stuff I've seen, love when someone appreciate just how much of a genius this guy is. Definitely try to find a way to watch his specials in order before you watch the songs as individual clips ESPECIALLY for Inside!!
really enjoyed sharing your spontaneous reaction to "Can't Handle This"
It's not my favourite of his songs, Problematic is probably my favourite, but i find this song (especially in context, the special/attention/personal experience that was a big part of him stepping away from live performance) is the most powerful and one i love seeing people react to
But yeah, you gotta do Problematic. White Womans Instagram is cute, Welcome to the Internet is important.
Problematic is a JAM
Man, i have watched at least 25 reaction videos on this song and yours is my favorite. It seems you really get the massage and im so happy you dont pause every 15 seconds.
In the kanye rant where he screams he was having a panic attack on stage but made it feel like part of the show
No he wasn't. He's talked about this specific performance on a few occasions, and considering how open he has been about his panic attacks on stage, he never mentioned it that I've seen when describing this performance.
@@jeffnogo yes he did he talked about it in his ama on Reddit he said making his panic attacks part of the show helped reduce their severity and made him feel better so he never tried to stop them. Unless he changed his stance later his ama after this special explains his bits and choices in detail.
i knew when i saw that you were going to react to Kanye Rant, it was gonna be special, but ur reaction was BEYOND that. im glad you're getting into Bo's more recent, serious material. believe me, you're gonna love how dark things get, but in a good way. it's as if Bo's goal in life, became, to heal people... Some of his new songs have helped me get through deaths in my family. Bo said it best "I cant solve the worlds problems...but i can try to heal the world with comedy"
I swear this is one of the few reaction channels with genuine laughs, watching you lose your shit is great because that's exactly how I sat there lmao
I love you reactions. they are so genuine (which is a problem for this genre) please don't lose that about your channel. I also love you get so tickled, you have a great sense of humor.
I've had a theory for a long time that the pringle can hand thing was on purpose. The biggest consumers of chips BY FAR are high people, drunk people, and gamers. All groups that get impatient FAST when denied something they're hungry for for even a couple seconds. So that bit of extra time you spend trying to get more chips from a pringle can makes you eat them extra fast, which means you run out and buy more. Which means you always EXPECT to need to buy way more. Which means you always have a bunch available, which makes you more likely to eat them even faster, which makes you buy more. And you defend constantly buying them using their own catch phrase which they made specifically for this purpose. "Oh man, I guess they're right, once you pop you can't stop. It's not MY fault I'm eating so many of them, they're just so addictive!". Multiply all those things by the fact that, by making them from potato mush, not actual sliced potatoes, they always last JUST a bit shorter in your mouth than you WANT them to, and you have a chip that flies off the shelves at record speeds. EVERYTHING about pringles is designed around tricking people into buying more and more and more of them.
The reaction to the first half of the Kanye rant is infectious and I'm not even up to the emotional heel turn, you are a delight to watch
Amazing... the reaction to the emotional sucker punch was perfect too.
And the fact you've run through the second half again 👌.
Best reaction to this I've seen. The second half is brutal... I don't know how I would've felt being in that crowd.
One thing I like about the Kanye rant is that it gives an insight into what it is like for some people to have bipolar episodes. You start feeling sad fairly quickly after laughing.
I watch a lot of reactions to Bo, you’re by far the most enjoyable. It feels so genuine.
There are other RUclipsrs who are literally working their way though his whole shows like you’re doing with his back catalogue. So keep fighting the copyright blocks because you’re a weekly highlight.
I'd recommend the Green Room with Paul Provenza (Season 2, Ep 1). It's Bo with multiple senior massively successful comedians discussing the theory of Comedy. It's still pretty funny, it also impressive to watch him hold his own.
This makes me cry... every time.
Ive had chronic depression for about 15 years and its so fakking sad how no one ever seem to understand.
"Laugh as he attempts to give you waht he cannot give himself"... its absolutely horrific.
Been waiting for you to get to Can't Handle This, love that you took the long journey here. Bo has an astounding way of luring you in with comedy and then just slapping you with the heavy reality of whatever he's talking about.
Keep up the good work
I've seen another channel react to Bo's specials (What., Make Happy, Inside) where he broke them up into chunks, but recorded/posted them in the same order as in the special and included the in-between bits so that each video picked up exactly where the previous left off. It worked pretty well! Each "chunk" was usually a song + some of the surrounding bits/banter.
Wow this was amazing! So glad you got it through! Can you apply the same methods for the blocked songs?
PLEASE PLEASE don't watch anything from Inside until you have seen What and Make Happy properly, Inside is such a massive leap you really need the context of the earlier material first, and there's so much you would miss! Also jumping ahead too far makes me feel like I've opened my Christmas presents before it's actually Christmas....
Well, you can definitely tell that Can't Handle This (Kanye Rant) was a genuine first watch, for sure.
I think I nearly fell out of my chair laughing in my office the first time I saw it too.
One of the things is that at least Bo Burnham knows that his fans come to him partially because they know it's a combination of comedy and real shit.
You're so wholesome dude, it's lovely watching these reactions, with the looming threat of a possible WW3, climate change, money troubles, inequality, just all the horrible stuff in the world right now, it's lovely to see you enjoying Bo's art :)
I appreciate your rewatching his break down. I think about how celebs are so quickly discarded if they hold an "unacceptable" view. Like, especially for artists, all their inspiration and everything that they produce is a part of them as much as their opinions about anything else. Both things are the artist expressing themselves. Fans and artists don't have to agree but there's this amazing pressure to out of fear of getting blacklisted. It's sad.
I'm so happy you got this to upload, it's one of my favorite things he's ever done. It gives such a good look into what he thinks
Love to see you watch the full show! You'll love it! ❤️
I'm really enjoying your Bo Burnham series! I would love for you to do all of the specials in order, broken up into sections, or as full length watch-a-longs with timestamps if needed to avoid copyright problems.
I also enjoyed your Tim Minchin reactions and try not to laugh challenge, I would love to see more!
It took me at least 3 listens to get that the Chipotlé thing describes his experience with fame.
The burrito expert is probably his manager, I guess?
"Dude you should have warned me, I never would have gotten into showbiz if I had known all this shit was going to come with it."
Kanye rant is such a masterpiece, and becomes so much more emotional when you find out that it was literally the last song of the last show he performed for 5 years. The screams just give me goosebumps every time, because those seem so incredibly raw. While he’s said that the Pringles and burrito parts are meaningless, every time I hear them I think about all the ways they could be metaphorical
Been on this platform for 16 years and your reactions are my fave. Subbed!
No part of the reason i like watching you is because you are positive, have a great personality, but also pick up on a lot of this stuff super quickly and aren't afraid to listen to others. Keep having fun and do what you do.
"I don't want to watch the finale of what if I'm gunna watch his full special..."
Proceds to watch the finale of his next special...
I love irony (keeps my clothes lookin sharp)
I cant watch "Cant handle this" without crying. The pringles can and the burrito can be interpreted as he asked för too much during his career and he couldnt handle it. He did a few shows after this, and then quit performing. "Inside" brings the explaination.
thank you for saying "can be interpreted as" instead of saying it like it's a fact
Vo has said himself that the pringles can and burrito was just a silly thing to add. Not meant to be a metaphor
@@AFake_Human I believe he's also said that if fans interpret it that way, he's not against it. He just didn't write the song that way intentionally
The intensity when he says "We'll stop beatin' this dead horse when it stops spittin' out mmmmooooooneeeeyyy!" - he is a performer! - it is so good! xD
I Iiterally get goosebumps EVERYTIME for Can't Handle This and your reaction was every emotion that I went through too. This is where I became obsessed with Bo.
"I'm not going to watch the FINALE to 'What.' I want to watch the whole thing."
Proceeds to watch the Finale to "Make Happy."
Lol. Check out his interview with Conan where he gives the secret to success for young people.
great reaction! Cant Handle This i think is the quintessential Bo experience, from the musical talent, to the perfect parody, to the hilariously silly jokes and relational humor, and then to getting the absolute gutpunch
The "I hope you're happy" at the end of this is so powerful and gives me chills every time.
I think, it makes way more sense watch Bos videos in the order he produced them.
I discoverd Bo because of tiktok and now I am totally "inside" his stuff.
Love reactions on his content and hope to find some more little details in his lyrics. English isn't my first language, so sometimes it's really hard :D
Love your reactions! Thank you for this ❤
Gosh ur reactions always make me feel like im rewatching his songs for the first time, your reactions are so fresh
What's heartbreaking is that you decided you didn't want to watch the finale of 'what' and you accidentally watched the finale of 'make happy'
I think you need to watch all his specials ('words words words', 'what', 'make happy') and hopefully do reaction vids... but absolutely, his latest 'Inside' needs to be watched as the special and not the youtube released videos!
Just my $0.02c
Loving the whole series :)
I LOVE watching your reaction! THIS is the reason why I keep sharing his videos. Always hoping they'd react like you did. 💕
This is the best damn reaction I have ever seen. Your laughter is infectious and because of that, I wasn't able to breathe. Thank you.
Watching people react to Can't Handle This is like watching people react to the end of First Blood...all of the sudden, you realize what you thought was the meat and potatoes of the presentation was just the appetizer and it's setting you up for the big reveal.
Thank you for sharing your reaction with us!
Haven't even watched the video yet but I subscribed as soon as you started your little celebratory dance about watching more Bo Burnham
The metaphorical juxtaposition between the burrito spilling over and feeling like he's taking on too much... Accidental, apparently. Or subconscious. He's denied drawing that connection on purpose, but it's right there. It's a perfect parable, and he didn't even mean to do it. That's freaking poetry.
Bo always seems to downplay his lyrics in interviews, and I'm unsure how much of that is him being self-depricating and how much is true. Anyway, the most important detail is clearly that he prefers hard-shelled tacos to burritos, which we can all agree is just plain weird... 😄
@@korganrocks3995 I mean, hard shell tacos, you take one bite and the whole thing collapses like a Jenga tower
@@tticusFinch I know, right? Useless things, haven't touched them in decades!
I'm always more impressed with the wordsmithing than what people choose to see as the metaphorical meaning. I think people miss what's right in front of them....
I can't fit my HAND inside of a pringles CAN
I don't think I CAN HANDle this.
I wouldn't have got HALF OF IT.
they don't even know the HALF OF IT.
Your laugh is magnificent! I love the way your whole face and body gets into it when you laugh as well... :) XD
This reaction video showed up on my Recommended and gave it a shot and instantly loved it. I had to subscribe immediately and went through a number of your other Bo reaction vids. I had to come back and watch this one several times though. Now I can't stop watching Can't Handle This reaction videos (mainly alternating between yours and Chris Reacts). Apparently I'm a masochist because I can't stop sobbing during the breakdown. Thanks Alice for sharing your reactions with us.
Imagine jumping from the old yt-clips to "Inside". This Closer at least somewhat sets the mood and themes
Welcome to modern Bo. This is the Bo I am in love with. I love all of Bo's work, but from here on out. It gets so deep and it becomes such a great work of art along with being funny. He slowly perfects his artform. I can't wait to watch you take this journey moving forward. Without making it too big, I'm excited.
This ain’t modern, inside is modern this is 5 years ago
@@charlieneedshelp989 I mean modern in the sense that the distinct styles. Before this special Bo really had a face value prankster sometimes poop style jokester delivery, but from this special onwards he really hones his craft and layers his jokes in deep meaningful and insightful art craft that at first glance is a sort of rip of the same formula of bait and switch style comedy, but really can get you engaged with its subtle moments of "wow, that's deep" then flip around and makes you laugh while making you think. It really is a mature and perfection of craft that I love. He does well with all his work, but as I said. From here you can catch a glimpse of that art form becoming a reality. A moment he went from making haha jokes on RUclips, to making humor commentary of our society.
If nothing else, you have to watch "Inside" as a whole because it doesn't have the same impact when it is diced up into random clips
Wow, props for shifting so fast in Can't Handle This! Thank you for the reaction!
To go out and bare your soul like this is truly something special.
I appreciate you going back and listening to the break down part. It's hard to comprehend what's happening on your first listen due to the funny first part... You are waiting for the punch line and there isn't one
You are my favorite Bo reactor! I love how much fun you have with his songs. I would HIGHLY suggest watching his specials on the channel. As you would expect, they are brilliant, and they give a lot of these songs far more context. Cant wait to see more!
I seriously love this reaction so much! Good job!
React to everything Bo Burnham!! I’m always here for it! I’ve loved watching you discover Bo and go on a journey through his musical evolution.
And you should react to Are You Happy? which is the actual last song of the Make Happy. I don’t think there’s a regular video of it on RUclips, but there are lyric videos.
