Honestly that has to be the _best_ evil villain laugh I have _ever_ heard. Doesn't matter how many times I hear it, I instantly get chills and shivers down my spine. This song really does showcase how the internet went from this innocent "connecting people with similar interests together", to the crazy addictive, controlling nightmare-fest it is today _so_ incredibly well.
You're not too far off, but you slightly misunderstood the part about the mom letting you use the iPad. It's not that you used to just use it a little and now we use it a lot. It's that we use it a lot because we used to use it a little. That these devices like iPads are designed to be highly addictive. That's what he's saying by "it did all the things we designed it to do." The modern internet and these devices are designed to trap us all online, to make us live our lives on the internet. It didn't start that way. Back in the 90s the internet was something we used, but it didn't dominate the lives of the vast majority of those who used it. We'd get on and read a few message boards, maybe join a chat room for an hour here or there, but it was something you used an hour or two a day, maybe. Often much less. Now we're all online all the time. We're almost all addicted. Kids didn't even have a chance, their parents put them online from a young age and it literally rewires how their brains work. Those of us who didn't grow up on these modern devices have a hard enough time putting our devices down, but kids who use these devices from a young age don't even realize its strange, its just the way the world has always worked for them. Which of course was the goal. Bo here is playing the evil carnival barker of your nightmares as an manifestation of the internet itself.
I mean, you're right, but you missed the point as well. "It wasn't always like this"....there WERE no Ipads. Smart phones didn't exist. internet speeds were in kbps, not MBs+. The "it did all the things we designed it to do" is correct throughout its iterations to brainwash and pacify a population....but her core theory WAS wrong, just not in the way you said. XD
And it “Did all the things we designed it to do”… you are most likely holding your cage in the palm of your hand. It worked, there is no going home, the carnival is here to stay.
My favorite line is when he says “mommy let you use her iPad. You were barely 2. And it did all the things we designed it to do. Now look at you”. Because it sounds so sweet, the way he says it. But really what it was doing, was addicting that generation to screens. Access to them at such a young age created a dependency for “a little bit of everything all of the time”.
He starts it out like he's a circus barker trying to beckon curious passers by with something wild, crazy and fun: The internet. Look at all this stuff it can do for you! And yet behind the mask, the internet has a lot of horrible in it. Him mixing in all the shocking, horrible things yet slots it in between a bunch of positive, fun things but says it all so cheery and happy like it's all a good thing. How the internet went from being something of a utility, a luxury and having some purpose despite being limited. And now it's evolved to the point where it's basically taken over. People spend way more time online than they do off. Bombarded by notifications from every single app on your phone to get you online again, to engage with whatever topic the algorithm thinks will make you click. A little bit of everything all of the time.
This devil persona of his should have been the villain in Ralph Breaks the Internet and this should've been his villain song. It does such good job showing EVERY aspect of the internet: increased connectivity, helpful tips, support, but also addiction, overexposure and a showcase of the more disgusting aspects of humanity that some didn't even know existed prior.
I dunno if this is the way he intended it, but I took "here's a nine-year-old who died" as an anchor point between the ramp up and the darker part of the song. Mainly because it's couched between other silly shit like fantasy sports or whatever. It's like scrolling social media--because a child dying is one of the most devastating catastrophic moments in the lives of so many people connected to that child. And the song's pace makes it so we can't even focus on it. Like we almost forget he said it. Then it flips, where the majority is dark shit with a few little silly things thrown in. Pretty much nailed "the internet."
The "if the Internet had a Disney villain song" very well done. Love Bo. If you go older Bo to current Bo you see his progression as an artist and his mental state. The ones you've chosen to react to are great. I Also like "from God's perspective" , "country song", "art is dead" All his songs are funny but with deeper layers and meaning
Yes, but she needs to at least have watched the songs referenced in that one first. Maybe doing Comedy and Goodbye in the same video would be good because they sort of make bookends of the special. But it would also be nice if she's heard Well Well Look Who's Inside Again first as well.
"...just nod or shake your head and we'll do the rest." is in my opinion such a clever way of describing the algorithmic way of the internet today. Say yes and you'll get more, say no and you'll get more of something else. There is no actual "no" it's just "not that", there will always be something else. You just keep sitting there and nod or shake your head, we will indeed take care of the rest 😈
There's another layer to that line, too. With the tune so lively and boppy, how do most people naturally, even _subconsciously_ react to it? What kind of body language do people use when they listen to a tune like that? They'll bob their head up and down... or side to side...
Bo Burnham is levels ahead of most "comedians" you see today in my opinion. What makes him truly outstanding is his introspectiveness, which you haven't seen much of yet from the songs you have reacted to thus far. Also his ability to articulate is just next level. He is also a true musician because he does write all his music. This song was not exactly at the beginning of his special but the song Comedy was the first song of his special inside. It kind of gives a preface to the entire special.
Its hard for me just even to say that "comedy" is what he does. So... What the f he could be? Well, remove the fun part and we have a Philosopher on stage. ...Thats kinda weird too.
It's nice to see a younger reactor watch this and truly have no idea what Bo's talking about with how the internet was "circa 99" and now growing up with the internet as a big part of life since a baby with the new generation. It'll be fun to see this generation at 40 and 50.
Awesome reaction!!! This song really does show off Bo’s talent as a both a word smith as well as a world builder. The more you watch of Bo’s work, you’ll find that even though his commentary has always been honest, he has refined his craft of expression repeatedly over the years. Loving the Bo reactions, keep ‘em comin!!! Cheers
It's really well crafted because it gives you the sense of going down an internet rabbit hole. It starts out pretty normal, but rapidly gets more and more extreme and radicalized. 100% modern villain.
The internet is like a great invention-somewhere between the discovery of fire and the invention of the alarm clock. It can brighten your life, but sometimes you just wish you could turn it off.
Inside is very interesting because a lot of it doesn't really have the same immediate appeal his earlier stuff has, but it is way more cohesive than even the stuff he did earlier (and that is saying something). It is true art.... which is scary, because it is hard to top and may be his apex. I hope not of course... he has so much to offer.
Have to say I enjoy your reactions very much. They are short enough and you refrain from pausing the video every 15 seconds to break down how you interpret it. Bravo.
I'm sure everyone is up for Bo, but if you want to mix it up you may want to check out one of Bo's inspirations, Tim Minchen. Prejudice If I Didn't Have You Inflatable You
This man is a Genius! He will make you laugh and will make you feel guilty about laughing, but craving more. You should really check the entirety of Inside, and I also recommend watching From God's Perspective
Another great reaction vid! My recommendations: For more Bo Burnham: some of his slightly older stuff like Country Song, Repeat Stuff (the live version from "what"), or Art is Dead (the live version from The Green Room) For other good reaction vids: literally anything with Bill Burr
This song is just for another audience. It's so much more worrysome for us, millenials and older, who actually remeber the old times... And Bo being a millenial himself...
Most of the songs from Inside can be watched out of order except for Goodbye. Leave it to the ead as it is the last song in the special and you kinda need to have watched many of the previous songs to fully understand it. Apart from that watch the other songs in any order you like.
Hi Amy Jane - not sure if it's a jokey deliberate thing(?) but 'internet' is misspelled in your thumbnail and just in case not: I think it's possible to change that even after video is published? :) I agree he's talented. 'Art is Dead' is another awesome Bo Burnham song, by the way, but a bit older than his 'Inside' show.
If you do like comedic history in the form of music, I definitely recommend Pasadena 1994 by Nanowar of Steel. Not sure if you are a fan of European metal, but worth a listen.
Hi there, here again! Still would love to see you react to Ren - Hi ren. I know I suggested the same one on your previous video too but, persistence right? :D
Gott love Bo😂 , you should do reactions to TheDooo or Billy Wilkins ! Just beware cause they sing and joke with people on Omegle so some of the humor can be pretty crude haha 😂 but If you know what Omegle is you probably know that’s
To switch from Bo but stick with the comedy song theme. Check of Flight of the Conchords, I would recommend Hippopotamus vs the Rhymenocerous. The live version instead of the clip from their show
Hi, Amy. Love the way you react naturally to our BO. May I suggest you to go deeper the Rabbit Hole and appreciate the musically theatrically genius mind of Tim Minchin.
I just realized that him speaking about “Obama sent the immigrants to vaccinate your kids” Has to do with when Obama made domestic propaganda an international propaganda legislation
This song is pretty okay to watch seperate from "Inside" but many MANY points in Inside don't make a huge amount of sense without watching them in order.

Indeed it's one of my absolute favorites. Almost never fails to make me tear up.
I wouldn't say it's depressingly true but terrifyingly true.

That laugh is so perfectly joyless. It so completely captures everything we hoped for, and the infinite, cyclic void left in its stead.
I love how different the facial expressions of people who are actually listening and reacting are
When he wrote this song, he wanted it to have a eerie, creepy, but yet fun vibe. To show why the Internet can Be scary yet fun.

Tim Minchin is another song based comedian who inspired Bo Burnham. Lot of people get introduced to him through the song Prejudice
I vote for left brain, right brain for another Bo Burnham reaction.
It's one of his older ones, his timing in that is absolutely amazing!

@@donaldpaulson3920 Don't do that. He is not the best comedian of all time. Love the guy and he's in a niche of his own, but don't do that.
Bo's song "That Funny Feeling" is great too. Probably want the lyrics in-hand, there's a lot of references
It's nice to see a younger reactor watch this and truly have no idea what Bo's talking about with how the internet was "circa 99" and now growing up with the internet as a big part of life since a baby with the new generation. It'll be fun to see this generation at 40 and 50.
You should start from Bo’s original days and work towards his recent stuff, that way his art makes more sense
Art is dead is a really great song by Bo Burnham. It is my absolute favorite.
Awesome reaction!!! This song really does show off Bo’s talent as a both a word smith as well as a world builder.
The more you watch of Bo’s work, you’ll find that even though his commentary has always been honest, he has refined his craft of expression repeatedly over the years.

It's really well crafted because it gives you the sense of going down an internet rabbit hole. It starts out pretty normal, but rapidly gets more and more extreme and radicalized. 100% modern villain.
Bo Burnham is so god damned brilliant. I literally put him up there with people like Robin Williams.
The internet is like a great invention-somewhere between the discovery of fire and the invention of the alarm clock. It can brighten your life, but sometimes you just wish you could turn it off.
Inside is very interesting because a lot of it doesn't really have the same immediate appeal his earlier stuff has, but it is way more cohesive than even the stuff he did earlier (and that is saying something).

I assume you are a fan of Tim Minchin already... if not, explore his work.
(oh... the music is classic circus music. That might add a bit of an extra thought onto it all).
Have to say I enjoy your reactions very much. They are short enough and you refrain from pausing the video every 15 seconds to break down how you interpret it. Bravo.
You may want to listen to “My Whole Family”, also by Bo Burnham.
I honestly laughed out loud when she said “oh. It’s so jolly”, knowing what was to come! Haha
I'm sure everyone is up for Bo, but if you want to mix it up you may want to check out one of Bo's inspirations, Tim Minchen.
Prejudice
If I Didn't Have You
Inflatable You
Hans Teeuwen is also one of his inspirations.
he's a genius !! and I am loving your reactions !!
Thank you!
Bo Burnham - Words, Words, Words
This man is a Genius! He will make you laugh and will make you feel guilty about laughing, but craving more. You should really check the entirety of Inside, and I also recommend watching From God's Perspective
And the whole part about “let’s stick together “ is part of their way of coercing you
Neat, another Bo video! Thats what I'm here for
His "From God's Perspective" is a MUST
Another great reaction vid! My recommendations:
For more Bo Burnham: some of his slightly older stuff like Country Song, Repeat Stuff (the live version from "what"), or Art is Dead (the live version from The Green Room)
For other good reaction vids: literally anything with Bill Burr
Watching bo is an emotional rollercoaster itself
This song hits the nail on the head with alot humour... The man is a genius in a mad Willy Wonka way. 😂
this song reminds me a lot of new math another song he did but quite a bit older. they are my 2 favorites of his
This song is just for another audience. It's so much more worrysome for us, millenials and older, who actually remeber the old times... And Bo being a millenial himself...
I can tell you’re introverted and it’s adorable.

You should watch the whole special Inside. Lots going on in that.
You should react to how the world works
Other artist suggestion: falling in reverse
100% the only way to truely experience Inside is watching it first. It is on Netflix
Hi Amy Jane - not sure if it's a jokey deliberate thing(?) but 'internet' is misspelled in your thumbnail and just in case not: I think it's possible to change that even after video is published? :) I agree he's talented. 'Art is Dead' is another awesome Bo Burnham song, by the way, but a bit older than his 'Inside' show.
Please react to Bo Burnham best off in the Green Room. He's there with A-list comedians and.. well you just gotta watch it.
"A lot of people were telling me to react to the whole of Inside, so, I'm not gonna do that..."
The song „Comedy“ from bo is so good
You should listen to the earlier videos like "Words, Words, Words" and "Bo Fo Sho" . Great examples of Rap.
You should listen to the songs, words words words by Bo burnham, it’s very surprising and random 🥰
Back in his day many of Bo's songs were raps, so no wonder he knows how to speak fast.
Also, Inside is a comedy special on Netflix, not an album.
If you do like comedic history in the form of music, I definitely recommend Pasadena 1994 by Nanowar of Steel. Not sure if you are a fan of European metal, but worth a listen.
The man’s a genius
i feel like you might like "art is dead" its one of my favs
Hi there, here again! Still would love to see you react to Ren - Hi ren.
I know I suggested the same one on your previous video too but, persistence right? :D
im always on my computer but for a whole different reason.
evil villain laugh
This is how the world works is very good
Please watch art is dead! Also, his skit. named Shakespeare from Words Words Words is a great showcase of his lyrical genius
Left brain, right brain is one I would love to nominate from Bo. Or from God's perspective. The first one a bit sillier, but both have a great depth.
You should try reacting to Harry Mack - he is great, very positive energy and interlectual, you'd like it.
😱 is right ☺
I mean the special is better to react to than just the album since you'll have more context
The Internet, as the Anti-Willy-Wonka, as portrayed by a genius.
next one should be goodbye or the chicken song. ORRR art is dead or any of his old songs.
Gott love Bo😂 , you should do reactions to TheDooo or Billy Wilkins ! Just beware cause they sing and joke with people on Omegle so some of the humor can be pretty crude haha 😂 but If you know what Omegle is you probably know that’s

try watching that funny feeling
Please take the chance to react to his song "Repeat Stuff w/ music video" as it is very similar to this.
I just realized that him speaking about “Obama sent the immigrants to vaccinate your kids”
Has to do with when Obama made domestic propaganda an international propaganda legislation

the crazy thing is you have still seen nothing yet. may i suggest How the World works next please or Right brain Left brain
Hair clips, please!
"How the World Works"
We of the Cult of Babymetal would kindly suggest that you react to BABYMETAL DEATH | Legend 1997 (Complete)

Will you react to movies or series later too?
You want suggestions I give you suggestions! Dave chappelle, bill Burr. Legendary comedians! Now feed us with your reactions please!

Don't react to the album. Please watch the whole Netflix special
Might just be me, but it’s kinda sad when you see someone react to something who so clearly missed the point of it.
