Give up on trying to be in the top 1% of people who "make it" but if you enjoy making music, keep making it. If you like performing comedy, do it. Giving up on the idea of being a mega star is healthy because it's not necessary for your happiness.
Not necessarily. If you take his advice to not take his advice, then you are left where you started, with the new prerogative to not take his advice, which was the meaning in the first place, I think. It's like event 1 causes event 2, but event 2 does not necessarily cause event 1 after event 2 has occurred, proceeding directly after event 1.
Would it? Surely if you took his advice to not take his advice you would be stuck with not taking his advice which doesn’t allow you take his advice? XD I confused myself but it makes sense in my head
Are you saying he doesn't deserve what he achieved? Are you saying you don't really like him and nobody does, but he stays on TV anyway just by accident?
+Saitama It's almost like you've made it to the top of everything you want to achieve, and then everything becomes tasteless. Like anger and fear. All emotions gone. What are you supposed to do after you get what you want? Deep questions, man.
+TheRainSnake, supposedly we never get everything we want b/c there's always something else we want. It's what makes us human. Not saying that's true, just what I've heard. This is one of the very few deep, civil conversations I've seen on youtube
nope, I forgot the joy in it once, but never got too bored for it...if you lack imagination on reasons to live or ways to be happy the internet can show you some.
Yes - don't be motivated by your dreams and expectations, but simply by your love of what you're doing. That way you can never fail, and you can always be happy.
This is why I like Bo. People who hate him just cant handle the truth or harsh reality. What he is saying is neither hatred or happiness just simple truth.
No, he's saying simply what people like to hear. Objectively speaking, it's a sheer stupidity. Being a successful artist is a matter of people enjoying you. It's a rare talent that also takes a lot of work. Nothing is "rigged", producers and studios are desperate for new talents like Bo. If you didn't make it, it just means nobody likes you, that's all.
Success is simply being born with the right attributes, in the right place and getting lucky at the right time. Think how many people out there who are probably incredible at something and don't realise it, because they haven't been brought up in an atmosphere where they've been allowed to blossom and discover it, and even if they did, actually getting out there and being "famous" is a whole other different part. Bo has a way of being facetious and simplifying things in a comedic way, yet the underlying message ends up being so real and true. Nobody gets success JUST by luck, but it's definitely a determining factor, I think. A lot of people probably worked very hard to get to the positions they do and maybe even deserve it, but there's always somebody better than you, who isn't in that position. Just my thoughts on this, anyway.
It's the largest determining factor. People are born or not born with a myriad of advantages and disadvantages from genetics, childhood, environment, diet, opportunities etc. Not one of those is in the persons control and what they have as an adult is determined by their start as much as people would like to think that you get more options as an adult, but your formative years turn you into the person you are. Our cultures like to keep people complacent by showing all the people who overcome the odds. What they fail to show is all the people who didn't, because it's far far far more than those who did. When we understand how many don't make it, we start to realize just how unfair everything is, and how little we do to try to make it more fair. Sure, we stand for things being fair and just, but when we push stories of people with disabilities and underdog narrative, we push this idea that with hard work one can make it. This simply isn't true. It's a problem of probability, the lottery winner is a great example of this issue we push in first world cultures. You will not win. Your odds are too low and no, that's not an encouragement to try anyway, it's to realize that the game is rigged and thinking that you can win keeps the everyone from pushing for actual change in the games rules.
What if you think about it like this If you're successful, and you know that circumstances in your life you had no control over are part of what made you successful, then why don't you be those positive circumstances in someone else's life to help them be successful?
“..yet the underlying message ends up being so real and true.” This aged like fine wine with Inside being so real and raw. He’s so good at what he does.
@@XxFATfishREBORNxX No I agree with what aligns with reality. But you're right, I disagree that I should have it harder just because I'm a white man. Not to mention straight and cis. I don't get the same opportunities handed to me like a lot of people do. I have to work and even then I might not be considered in order to fill diversity quotas. Next 🥱
@@XxFATfishREBORNxX plus I haven't watched this in months I have no idea what he said if I agreed with anything and if I did my opinions may have changed.
+MusgoHBA haha yes it is a scary thought.i love Conan. Bo would be a perfect candidate to pass the torch too. He has ton of charisma. Perfect for late night. Plus he's young so Conan can take him under his wing.
Better advice would be: Follow your dreams, but make sure you're prepared for the possibility of not making it because from a statistical perspective it is very unlikely. Also, if you do make it, don't expect to be happy or satisfied, because that is also unlikely.
Pretty much. Statistically, you don't stand a chance. The reason many of the successful ones talk about persistence is because persistence exposes you to more luck. But much like the lottery, even persistence is no guarantee. The one thing you do have that you won't get in the lottery, is finding ways to beat out the competition - to do better than them, etc. But that really only helps a tiny percentage of people because only a tiny percentage can win. On the whole, if you aren't willing to sacrifice a lot and never make it big, you should probably make it a hobby, rather than a career choice.
To be honest, even if you sacrificed everything, the odds would still be overwhelmingly rigged against you. Going after success for its own sake isn't worth it.
@@eliastalks7411 Agreed. My views on this have changed somewhat over the years. I'm more of the position now that most of the people who are perceived as having worked hard to get where they are had the way paved for them by, for example, having rich parents and the like. So really, even with getting lucky and being willing to game the system, if you aren't positioned well from the start in a capitalist system like this, you almost certainly aren't going much of anywhere.
+Tim Dev No but you're right. My quoted statement makes me a "tin foil hat" wearer and certainly doesn't make you half brain dead for calling me out on it instead of just apologizing for being wrong.
Finally!!! Someone willing to speak the dirty truth!!!! If you're not lucky enough to be connected with the right people / have family in the biz / stars align wherever you walk... Than there's just not a chance in hell!!!!!
I saw this last year and he is so on point. Think about the combination of things that have to happen to even "make it". You have to have a great show and performance, someone must see you that day, you must be relevant to the times. Eddie Murphy is one hell of a comedian, but he would be undiscovered now. People would not have liked his style of comedy.
I always think that for people who have made a career out of their talent are extremely lucky in how they were raised. Maybe a slight change in parenting style and Kurt Cobain wouldn’t have cared about music so much. Never would have spent all that time exploring and developing his gift. Or maybe a relationship going the other way when he was young, or a very slight different pair of genetics. Crazy to think about.
@@YTmakesDumbUpdates it's true for 100% of whiny entitled twats who spend their time looking at who else is getting the things they want instead of working on earning them.
He meant in the sense that when you're a child you should dream to your hearts content. When you're old enough to have a debit card, it's time to give up.
Most honest person on TV. Whereas as all movies/ tv shows only focus on how hard working brings success and fame but no one says i was lucky. Luck plays a huge part whether you believe it or not. Being in the right time at the right places.
Marie ! That's actually very true; unfortunately, I don't love him enough to comply to everything that he wants (even though I said "Bo is everything", it was definitely an overstatement, sorry for any confusion)
In a way he's right. (With the right mentality) Once I actually gave up I finally can move on. I gave up caring about what used to happen. I gave up trying to please everybody. I gave up... Go ahead leave a message with what you've given up On another note... Don't give up on people that actually do care about you. Don't give up learning more and more everyday. Don't give up smiling. ☺😊😀
Sound advice - give up now. Let go of everything. Once you have given up, you will be completely free. And THEN you will be able to concentrate 100% of your energy into the thing you wanted.
In the grand squeme of things, this can be applied to literally anything in life. The big difference is, as Bo said, the system is indeed "rigged". Everything is just a big Marketing Agency. Artists are nothing more than assets. So I guess I would rephrase his advice for: give up trying to come where I came, and just keep doing your art. If luck knocks in your door, at least you'll be ready. Btw, nowadays being an independent artist is not all bad tho, moneywise
I love how real anxious people are, compared to those people who have built nice fantastical delusions to cope with the world around them! It’s wonderful to see Conan actually bringing himself back to a *real* human level *with* Bo Burnham, in his own style, and having a realistic and raw talk about a really real problem our youth is facing. It’s very refreshing to me to hear the truth from someone who sees the world in a way that isn’t all sunshine, adorable puppies or kittens, and gravy (or whatever food dressing you prefer... w/e...) and doesn’t shy away from it, simply because it’s a little bit scary to him. Like, in all reality, anxious people who are doing the same things the avg person does, even if it’s done differently, to be *doing* something in spiteof anxiety, or especially -like Bo- *with* anxiety issues- *THOSE* people are the bravest and most courageous. In my own opinion, anyway. I mean, as a fellow adult with anxiety, I can kinda understand why he would discount his on monstrous hurdle that he *has* had to kinda overcome to “be here”... seeing as I, myself, would also want to minimize it while I was actually going through the struggle in that very moment, too. But at the same time, and on the same hand, appreciate the immense respect he’s giving to the “minorities” that he justifiably believes would have a more difficult time obtaining what seems like a similar level of success in the same or a similar industry. However, times have changed, and I hope that his beliefs and the way he regards himself fluctuates (not *change*, necessarily) a little to fit a bit better against today’s social injustices.
Serio? So porque ele disse uma coisa ruim ele é bom? Pra voce ter sorte voce precisa tentar. Existem pessoas negativas disfarçadas de verdadeiras elas falam uma coisa ruim e depois se gabam de ser verdadeiras como se tudo nesse mundo fosse ruim. Existem verdades boas
@@leofiladoro1402 Eu entendo o que você está tentando dizer, mas não podemos negar que a sorte desempenha um papel enorme no sucesso das pessoas e não pode ser prejudicada. houve pessoas que trabalharam duro a vida inteira e ainda assim não tiveram sucesso. mesmo que seja negativo, é assim que as coisas são. Não estou dizendo que devemos parar de tentar apenas "a sorte controla tudo de qualquer maneira", mas estou dizendo para manter suas expectativas reais porque o fator sorte não pode ser negligenciado.
@@anon374 sim.mas pode ter certeza q as pessoas que tentaram e falharam são bem mais felizes. Porque existe uma coisa chamada realização profissional. Tem todo ator tem o oscar. Nem todo ator tem filmes de sucesso. Mas pode ter certeza q a maioria ja se sente realizado so de tentar e fazer parte daquilo. Por isso alguns comediantes são toxicos mistiram problemas pessoais com comedia. Vi ums videos desse cara e ele é bem perturbado. N é so pq ele tem essa visão q realmente tem q ser assim
There's probably tens of thousands of people in acting classes thinking they could be the next Michael Fassbender. Or guys in film class thinking they'll be the next Tarantino. Won't happen. :)
It’s better than forcing yourself to do something you don’t like. I rather feel happy in college at my film classes than in the nursing degree i felt i had to do for my mom. I don’t think I’ll become a great filmmaker like Tarantino but I can be apart of the filmmaking industry, which is all I want. I’m realistic with my dreams and I will go back to college and get a degree in Business after I get my first degree in Digital Media Production.
For anyone who disagrees with what Bo says her I'd tell you that you can follow your dreams, but statistically you shouldn't expect anything to come out of it if your dreams are that of "I wanna be famous"
People need to know when they're good at things. He's right for the most part. Taylor telling you to follow your dreams is very sweet and all, but thats her saying that, she basing that off what shes accomplished. But to be very good at something you have to allow yourself to be bad at it first. These guys on conan are very funny. They were chosen because they were the best at what they do. If conan didnt get this gig he would've been doing something else in entertainment. Same as Bo. Same as Ed sheeran as well for example. But it's delusional to think you can just "casually do something" and you're guaranteed success. Alot of these guys worked to the bone. Some dont have to work and get lucky like the kardashians, but you'll find most of these entertainers put their absolute all into what they love. Your dream shouldnt be to get famous, it should be to be able to support yourself doing your passion as a job, you dont have to be a millionaire
The advice is played for laughs here, but he's spot on. I mean, if you feel happier telling yourself that you at least tried if and when you do fail, then by all means go ahead and pursue your dreams. Show business, however, is among career paths where you're extremely unlikely to ever "make it". Just as with the lottery example, people tend to believe in their own chances over the overwhelming majority. It's one of the many cognitive biases that the human mind is prone to. More likely than not you will end up happier if you go for something realistic in the first place.
I call it the "successfull person bias": the thought that if you work hard, you will make it no matter what. Of course those people believe that, in their reality that is a true equation, they dont know anything else
I have never been more appreciative of this genuine viewpoint from a successful person in my life. Thank you for acknowledging that it's not just all about hard work....it's about luck and being around the right people, at the right time in the right place.
He is right in saying to give up. Give up trying to be successful. But don't give up what you actually do. Keep doing what you want to do for the sake of what it is your doing. If you are stopping whatever you are doing because you aren't successful, then you don't deserve to be successful.
+stylinson I guess it's relevant in any sort of situation. The stereotype built off of it can have a viewpoint for most anything, and a lot of time you either agree with it or you really really don't.
I often dream of being famous and being better than everyone, I think it’s because I’m very unhappy and sad and alone. The whole idea lingers inside my head because I feel like I need to prove a point to someone, that I’m better and that I matter. It’s really bad inside my head and it’s been like this for so long. I’ve spent all my teenage years trying to achieve something that’s not even real and because of this turn of events, I’m so effing scared of my future. I mean what will happen to me! Will I always be dreaming like a pathetic loser?... man I’m broken. And the worst part is I can’t really tell this to anyone cause they’ll think that I’m crazy. Ik this is supposed to be a comedy clip but this was pretty helpful as everybody else keep saying follow your dream.
@@NY-rg9br i get what you mean and I completely agree but it’s much more than that. By being successful I didn’t just mean as someone as Justin Bieber but as a person. Everywhere I watch I see kids my age having fun with friends and loved ones whereas my life has been one hell of a shitshow. That’s why I feel like I’ve wasted the best years of my life. I’ll turn 19 in a few months and I’m still as the heartbroken 13 year old I was 6 years ago. It’s such a pity
@@jjkkssskjzzkkkjisq596 Well, you have to think 'success' is a very broad and subjective word. Society deems success as being 'rich and famous' and that we can only conflate our lives with any value if we become someone like that, but there is far more to life than just being rich and famous. I used to want all that when I was younger and I was striving for it, just like millions of other kids, but looking back on it now I couldn't be more glad that I'm not a famous figure. People get so blinded by the want of fame because you get lots of love and admiration, and you get lots of money and free things, that's the good, but the bad isn't worth the good in my eyes: losing your sense of anonymity, not being able to have any quiet time out in the open, people constantly coming up to you for a chat or an autograph or a selfie, all the relentless judgement the world puts on your shoulders over the smallest of things (why do you think these people are always in and out of cosmetic surgery, they're trying to find that non-existent sense of perfection, trying to please others instead of themselves), you become a global punching bag for anyone and everyone to take their problems out on. The older me looks at the younger me and thinks 'oh, how naïve and ignorant you were to think that that life is what you wanted, more than anything.' The best advice I can give is the advice I give myself everyday: just do what you love and what you enjoy, and don't do it because one day you hope it can buy you a big house and fancy car and get you on talk shows, just do it because it makes you happy, whether you end up being known for it or not, because at the end of the day life is too short, so just enjoy the little things and don't worry about thinking you have to be this 'famous figure' that people love and adore, because in retrospect, it's not what life is about. Life is a ride, it's a journey, it has its up and downs, its twists and turns, but ultimately, it's just a ride. So live a life that *you* deem a success, don't live it trying to impress people you don't know or care for, live it for yourself and those close to you that you do love and care for, live it trying to be the best version of yourself you can possibly be. Of all the sayings out there, the one that rings truest in my eyes is 'It's the little things that matter most.' Oh, and on a side note, get off social media if you haven't already, it's one of the biggest causes of anxiety and depression in today's generation. Sorry for the rant, but hopefully you'll be able to take something away from it.
yeah, give up on luck, but i have to disagree: hard work does pay off. Just give up stupid big dreams like being a billionaire or things that are so rare and not even helping with your happiness. But don't give up being happy doing what you love. You can do it, and definitely will do it, if you work hard everyday.
Basically he's saying that it's good to have a goal and a dream in your life but you should also be a little bit more realistic and not give up everything in your life for this goal/dream that is super unlikely to happen. Work for your dream, but don't sacrifice your entire existence for it.
The point is....luck plays a huge factor. In everything. You need to know It. You can do everything right and It might still not matter. Also many people might do less than you except for being in the right place at the right time and make It big, bigger than you. Too many people won't tell you that. They will tell you "Dreams come true!" And forget to add "just not for everyone". If you bet everything on the idea that hard work and dreaming and visualize it and wishing It into existence will 100% work, you will be distraught if you don't make it anyway, despite doing everything right. You'll blame yourself, you think you lack something, you'll question yourself, your beliefs and you will get depressed.. You won't get it. All because you didn't factor in sheer dumb luck. You need to know. That doesn't mean you shouldn't do the work, that doesn't mean you shouldn't hope for it, dream it, wish for It but you need to know....It might still not be enough. Because luck plays a factor. Because we're just one person among billions and not everything is under our control. And you need to be objective and aware of where the line that divides your fault and flaws and just the rest of the world and how It works is. You owe It to yourself and to your sanity to be aware and be ready for both success and failure.
Finally someone who said it 😂 but keep doing whatever you want. The system may be rigged but your talent is yours and yours alone, and it's up to you to exercise it. It doesn't matter if there are only 25 in the audience.
I woke up optimistic but thanx to this geeza who ive never heard of ive decided to give up on everything, my kids are gunna have to fend for themselves now too, sooner they realise to give up the better, thanx guys
Huge props to him for being crushingly honest. It's not that you can't work your butt off and become mega rich and famous and loved and admired etc. It's that for every 1 who makes it, 499 don't. Not because they didn't try as hard or didn't have 'it' but because of luck, chance and numbers. Even the ones who do make it are lucky to make a living out of it for more than 5 years before being replaced by newer, younger, fresher acts. Decade long stars are a rarity in comparison to those that came and went and desperately try to cling to their 15 minutes of fame, rehashing what made them a name forever. The lesson is - do it to enjoy it. Live a full and rounded life. Half of the people who do make it made it because they sacrificed something and dedicated all their energy on one thing while neglecting others. Loads of them are unhappy or damaged people who have found money and fame didn't actually fix any core problems. Bo Burnham has repeatedly been honest that performing for approval takes its toll on a person.
I understand when he says he got lucky buy i believe he is truly talented and has ability that not a lot of people have. I hope one day he can conquer his demons and perform again. Probably one of my favorite comedians.
I'm not going to give up. Not because a celebrity tells me not to, but because giving up would mean sacrificing a part of who I am. I don't expect fame (though it's a nice thought), but that doesn't mean I'm just going to stop. I'll work on the sides. I don't care. Who knows, maybe a little luck will come my way.
Honest stance right here. He even mentioned Taylor Swift whereas the average person in his position would have thought to keep names to themselves. But he is right. Lily Collins ring any bells...?
in tone with what Christopher Hitchens said when asked for advice on how to become a writer, which was something along the lines of . if you have to write, you're a writer, if you just want to write because it'd be a great field to be in, it's not for you, a writer feels a need to write.
You can see in Conan's eyes how uncomfortable he is with the fact that bo is saying that his succes was just luck Edit: I disagree with myself lol, i think I was on drugs when I wrote this, but I do think that a lot of people would find Bo's opinion outrageous. The Entertainment industry must be one of the least meritocratic industries in the world, so much talent everywhere but just a few very lucky get discovered. That doesn't change the fact connan and Bo are awesome, but we have to remember they might be hundreds or thousands of people as good as them that are right now working at McDonald's while making stand up afterwards on random bars and will never get discovered.
If you've ever listened to Conan's interviews or his podcast stuff, he often mentions how lucky he got, and specifically says he hates when people fail to acknowledge the part that luck plays in success. So no, you can't see anything in his eyes. You're just making assumptions out of your ass.
Give up on trying to be in the top 1% of people who "make it" but if you enjoy making music, keep making it. If you like performing comedy, do it. Giving up on the idea of being a mega star is healthy because it's not necessary for your happiness.

@@YTmakesDumbUpdates lmao of course, you agree with everything he says up to the point it inconveniences you
@@XxFATfishREBORNxX No I agree with what aligns with reality. But you're right, I disagree that I should have it harder just because I'm a white man. Not to mention straight and cis. I don't get the same opportunities handed to me like a lot of people do. I have to work and even then I might not be considered in order to fill diversity quotas. Next 🥱
@@XxFATfishREBORNxX plus I haven't watched this in months I have no idea what he said if I agreed with anything and if I did my opinions may have changed.
I like how humorously nihilistic and realistic he is
I don't know if the audience realized just how real Bo's advice actually was
When Conan retires Bo should be his replacement
Though the thought of Conan retiring is scary, that would not be a bad idea.
+MusgoHBA haha yes it is a scary thought.i love Conan. Bo would be a perfect candidate to pass the torch too. He has ton of charisma. Perfect for late night. Plus he's young so Conan can take him under his wing.
Honestly who would be a better replacement than Bo? It just fits. But goddamn I never want Conan to retire... :(
Wow Santiago, you brown nosing harder than his talent agent. WHat are you, Bo's manager saying this nonsense and paying for youtube comment votes?
And have Daniel Sloss be his sidekick
Better advice would be: Follow your dreams, but make sure you're prepared for the possibility of not making it because from a statistical perspective it is very unlikely. Also, if you do make it, don't expect to be happy or satisfied, because that is also unlikely.
word!
I gave up reading this. #ThanksBo
too long;didn't read
Or maybe you should just give up and stop being an annoying loser?
Nice bro!!
An honest piece of advice with actual validity. This is a very rare breed of advice nowadays.
Pretty much. Statistically, you don't stand a chance. The reason many of the successful ones talk about persistence is because persistence exposes you to more luck. But much like the lottery, even persistence is no guarantee. The one thing you do have that you won't get in the lottery, is finding ways to beat out the competition - to do better than them, etc. But that really only helps a tiny percentage of people because only a tiny percentage can win.
On the whole, if you aren't willing to sacrifice a lot and never make it big, you should probably make it a hobby, rather than a career choice.
To be honest, even if you sacrificed everything, the odds would still be overwhelmingly rigged against you. Going after success for its own sake isn't worth it.
@@eliastalks7411 Agreed. My views on this have changed somewhat over the years. I'm more of the position now that most of the people who are perceived as having worked hard to get where they are had the way paved for them by, for example, having rich parents and the like. So really, even with getting lucky and being willing to game the system, if you aren't positioned well from the start in a capitalist system like this, you almost certainly aren't going much of anywhere.
I LOVE BO BURNHAM
You love the idea of him.

Yeah, I got mine today... lmao
I got mine when I was 15 and it's going downhill since...
I saw this last year and he is so on point. Think about the combination of things that have to happen to even "make it". You have to have a great show and performance, someone must see you that day, you must be relevant to the times. Eddie Murphy is one hell of a comedian, but he would be undiscovered now. People would not have liked his style of comedy.
I always think that for people who have made a career out of their talent are extremely lucky in how they were raised. Maybe a slight change in parenting style and Kurt Cobain wouldn’t have cared about music so much. Never would have spent all that time exploring and developing his gift. Or maybe a relationship going the other way when he was young, or a very slight different pair of genetics. Crazy to think about.
So accurate, though. However talented an actor/singer/musician/writer you are, the key ingredient to success it luck.
Yep I’m in a band in Utah and there’s a lot of fantastic incredible musicians but....🤷♂️

lmaooo "once you get a debit card.. yknow give up"
too true bo
Give up on dreams like being famous once money becomes your issue to deal with or else you'll probably fall into a hole.
He meant in the sense that when you're a child you should dream to your hearts content. When you're old enough to have a debit card, it's time to give up.
NetherTraveler You do you.
This has got to be the most honest advice i've ever heard on TV through my entire life....
brutally honest, we need more like him
The most accurate and correct response to that question- glad someone finally said it xD
Most honest person on TV. Whereas as all movies/ tv shows only focus on how hard working brings success and fame but no one says i was lucky. Luck plays a huge part whether you believe it or not. Being in the right time at the right places.

Does Zach Stone ever get famous in the end?
+vmp916 Idk. I'm saving the last episode for sometime in the future when I miss the show. So then I'll have a new episode to watch.
wow, this advice really saved me. I was so close of killing myself that I gave up. Thanks Bo you da man.
More Bo with Conan please!
"Buy powerball tickets it works!" Lmaoo 🤣 I don't really watch Bo but I love his humor and realistic outlook
Two of the funniest people working today talking to each other
Incredible.
Liked the video before watching - Bo is everything
SAME!
That's exactly what he doesn't want.
Marie ! That's actually very true; unfortunately, I don't love him enough to comply to everything that he wants (even though I said "Bo is everything", it was definitely an overstatement, sorry for any confusion)
Steph Man It's ok ^^ But there are people who really think like that - even if it's not the majority.
"If you can live your life without an audience, you should do it." - Bo
In a way he's right. (With the right mentality)
Once I actually gave up I finally can move on. I gave up caring about what used to happen. I gave up trying to please everybody. I gave up... Go ahead leave a message with what you've given up
On another note...
Don't give up on people that actually do care about you. Don't give up learning more and more everyday. Don't give up smiling. ☺😊😀
That analogy to the powerball winner was spot on.
"Take a deep breath and give up"
"Dont take advice from me"
....
*brain.exe has stopped working*
Everytime Bo Burnham fires a shot across the audience's bow, I laugh and cry at the same time. This guy's humor is phenomonal.
if everyone gives up... there's no competition!!! THANKS FOR PAVING THE PATH TO SUCCESS FOR ME, BO!
you can fail at something you don't want to do, so might as well try something you do. - Jim Carrey
one of the best conan clips because of bo. i love and respect that man so much.
Sound advice - give up now. Let go of everything. Once you have given up, you will be completely free. And THEN you will be able to concentrate 100% of your energy into the thing you wanted.
In the grand squeme of things, this can be applied to literally anything in life. The big difference is, as Bo said, the system is indeed "rigged". Everything is just a big Marketing Agency. Artists are nothing more than assets. So I guess I would rephrase his advice for: give up trying to come where I came, and just keep doing your art. If luck knocks in your door, at least you'll be ready.
Btw, nowadays being an independent artist is not all bad tho, moneywise
Good advice. Hollywood chews people up and spits 'em out
I love how real anxious people are, compared to those people who have built nice fantastical delusions to cope with the world around them! It’s wonderful to see Conan actually bringing himself back to a *real* human level *with* Bo Burnham, in his own style, and having a realistic and raw talk about a really real problem our youth is facing. It’s very refreshing to me to hear the truth from someone who sees the world in a way that isn’t all sunshine, adorable puppies or kittens, and gravy (or whatever food dressing you prefer... w/e...) and doesn’t shy away from it, simply because it’s a little bit scary to him. Like, in all reality, anxious people who are doing the same things the avg person does, even if it’s done differently, to be *doing* something in spiteof anxiety, or especially -like Bo- *with* anxiety issues- *THOSE* people are the bravest and most courageous. In my own opinion, anyway.
I mean, as a fellow adult with anxiety, I can kinda understand why he would discount his on monstrous hurdle that he *has* had to kinda overcome to “be here”... seeing as I, myself, would also want to minimize it while I was actually going through the struggle in that very moment, too. But at the same time, and on the same hand, appreciate the immense respect he’s giving to the “minorities” that he justifiably believes would have a more difficult time obtaining what seems like a similar level of success in the same or a similar industry. However, times have changed, and I hope that his beliefs and the way he regards himself fluctuates (not *change*, necessarily) a little to fit a bit better against today’s social injustices.
"You're doing it, you know. You are making films. There's this idea that like......."
Bo Burnham is that one brutally honest rude awakening that none of us want but all of us need
Serio? So porque ele disse uma coisa ruim ele é bom? Pra voce ter sorte voce precisa tentar. Existem pessoas negativas disfarçadas de verdadeiras elas falam uma coisa ruim e depois se gabam de ser verdadeiras como se tudo nesse mundo fosse ruim. Existem verdades boas
@@leofiladoro1402 Eu entendo o que você está tentando dizer, mas não podemos negar que a sorte desempenha um papel enorme no sucesso das pessoas e não pode ser prejudicada. houve pessoas que trabalharam duro a vida inteira e ainda assim não tiveram sucesso. mesmo que seja negativo, é assim que as coisas são. Não estou dizendo que devemos parar de tentar apenas "a sorte controla tudo de qualquer maneira", mas estou dizendo para manter suas expectativas reais porque o fator sorte não pode ser negligenciado.
@@anon374 sim.mas pode ter certeza q as pessoas que tentaram e falharam são bem mais felizes. Porque existe uma coisa chamada realização profissional. Tem todo ator tem o oscar. Nem todo ator tem filmes de sucesso. Mas pode ter certeza q a maioria ja se sente realizado so de tentar e fazer parte daquilo. Por isso alguns comediantes são toxicos mistiram problemas pessoais com comedia. Vi ums videos desse cara e ele é bem perturbado. N é so pq ele tem essa visão q realmente tem q ser assim
There's probably tens of thousands of people in acting classes thinking they could be the next Michael Fassbender.
Or guys in film class thinking they'll be the next Tarantino.
Won't happen. :)
the reality is that it is lame, so don't try to make it something it isn't. just enjoy it for what it is. not for what it isnt.
The funny thing is that Tarantino didn't even take filming classes
It’s better than forcing yourself to do something you don’t like. I rather feel happy in college at my film classes than in the nursing degree i felt i had to do for my mom. I don’t think I’ll become a great filmmaker like Tarantino but I can be apart of the filmmaking industry, which is all I want. I’m realistic with my dreams and I will go back to college and get a degree in Business after I get my first degree in Digital Media Production.
I like mangos
was feeling pretty down so I came back here. so uplifting
For anyone who disagrees with what Bo says her I'd tell you that you can follow your dreams, but statistically you shouldn't expect anything to come out of it if your dreams are that of "I wanna be famous"
People need to know when they're good at things. He's right for the most part. Taylor telling you to follow your dreams is very sweet and all, but thats her saying that, she basing that off what shes accomplished. But to be very good at something you have to allow yourself to be bad at it first. These guys on conan are very funny. They were chosen because they were the best at what they do. If conan didnt get this gig he would've been doing something else in entertainment. Same as Bo. Same as Ed sheeran as well for example. But it's delusional to think you can just "casually do something" and you're guaranteed success. Alot of these guys worked to the bone. Some dont have to work and get lucky like the kardashians, but you'll find most of these entertainers put their absolute all into what they love. Your dream shouldnt be to get famous, it should be to be able to support yourself doing your passion as a job, you dont have to be a millionaire
@@tooawesome7467 They were not "chosen" because they were the best. They were the luckiest. And that's all.

This man is a genius. There's always something funny and yet extremely truthful in what he says. I believe every line he speaks is calculated
See? Now this is GOOD material. This is top quality Podcast material right here, you guys. The honesty. The awareness. The truth.
i am so moved by his words.
The advice is played for laughs here, but he's spot on. I mean, if you feel happier telling yourself that you at least tried if and when you do fail, then by all means go ahead and pursue your dreams. Show business, however, is among career paths where you're extremely unlikely to ever "make it". Just as with the lottery example, people tend to believe in their own chances over the overwhelming majority. It's one of the many cognitive biases that the human mind is prone to. More likely than not you will end up happier if you go for something realistic in the first place.
Sad but true. Only thing is, the people that ‘make’ never would’ve subscribed to that ideology and keep going
I love Bo burnham because he’s not afraid to speak the truth.
Bo Knows
I call it the "successfull person bias": the thought that if you work hard, you will make it no matter what.
Of course those people believe that, in their reality that is a true equation, they dont know anything else
leo sky its luck because of your birth mate
It’s actually called survivorship bias: we only see the few who made it to the top, not the many many more who didn’t.
Im not giving up. Sorry Bo
That's the spirit bro
Keep going my dude
I hope 7 years later you're still going man!
Did someone fart at 0:12? listen closely..

This person has got their priorities straight. I have given you a thumbs up as well.
jigglymabob it was a frog
Bo is being very modest. He is such a brilliant, genuine person and deserves every bit of success he has received.
I have never been more appreciative of this genuine viewpoint from a successful person in my life. Thank you for acknowledging that it's not just all about hard work....it's about luck and being around the right people, at the right time in the right place.
He's the epitome of getting lucky. Made silly videos for his friends to watch when youtube was in its infancy.. and he blew up.. he kept it 1000000%
When he's older now I appreciate his wit and humor. Not feelin' the i'm bo yo
This saved me a lot of time and effort. Thanks Bo!
He is right in saying to give up. Give up trying to be successful. But don't give up what you actually do. Keep doing what you want to do for the sake of what it is your doing. If you are stopping whatever you are doing because you aren't successful, then you don't deserve to be successful.
dude's funny. his Tumblr fan base is annoying as hell though.
99% of people in Tumblr are annoying
Real statistical facts right here. No im being serious. Reverse 1% is tumblr.
+stylinson I guess it's relevant in any sort of situation. The stereotype built off of it can have a viewpoint for most anything, and a lot of time you either agree with it or you really really don't.
Ben G What's wrong with having peanut allergies.
I often dream of being famous and being better than everyone, I think it’s because I’m very unhappy and sad and alone. The whole idea lingers inside my head because I feel like I need to prove a point to someone, that I’m better and that I matter. It’s really bad inside my head and it’s been like this for so long. I’ve spent all my teenage years trying to achieve something that’s not even real and because of this turn of events, I’m so effing scared of my future. I mean what will happen to me! Will I always be dreaming like a pathetic loser?... man I’m broken. And the worst part is I can’t really tell this to anyone cause they’ll think that I’m crazy. Ik this is supposed to be a comedy clip but this was pretty helpful as everybody else keep saying follow your dream.
@@NY-rg9br i get what you mean and I completely agree but it’s much more than that. By being successful I didn’t just mean as someone as Justin Bieber but as a person. Everywhere I watch I see kids my age having fun with friends and loved ones whereas my life has been one hell of a shitshow. That’s why I feel like I’ve wasted the best years of my life. I’ll turn 19 in a few months and I’m still as the heartbroken 13 year old I was 6 years ago. It’s such a pity
@@jjkkssskjzzkkkjisq596 Well, you have to think 'success' is a very broad and subjective word. Society deems success as being 'rich and famous' and that we can only conflate our lives with any value if we become someone like that, but there is far more to life than just being rich and famous. I used to want all that when I was younger and I was striving for it, just like millions of other kids, but looking back on it now I couldn't be more glad that I'm not a famous figure.
People get so blinded by the want of fame because you get lots of love and admiration, and you get lots of money and free things, that's the good, but the bad isn't worth the good in my eyes: losing your sense of anonymity, not being able to have any quiet time out in the open, people constantly coming up to you for a chat or an autograph or a selfie, all the relentless judgement the world puts on your shoulders over the smallest of things (why do you think these people are always in and out of cosmetic surgery, they're trying to find that non-existent sense of perfection, trying to please others instead of themselves), you become a global punching bag for anyone and everyone to take their problems out on. The older me looks at the younger me and thinks 'oh, how naïve and ignorant you were to think that that life is what you wanted, more than anything.'
The best advice I can give is the advice I give myself everyday: just do what you love and what you enjoy, and don't do it because one day you hope it can buy you a big house and fancy car and get you on talk shows, just do it because it makes you happy, whether you end up being known for it or not, because at the end of the day life is too short, so just enjoy the little things and don't worry about thinking you have to be this 'famous figure' that people love and adore, because in retrospect, it's not what life is about. Life is a ride, it's a journey, it has its up and downs, its twists and turns, but ultimately, it's just a ride. So live a life that *you* deem a success, don't live it trying to impress people you don't know or care for, live it for yourself and those close to you that you do love and care for, live it trying to be the best version of yourself you can possibly be. Of all the sayings out there, the one that rings truest in my eyes is 'It's the little things that matter most.'
Oh, and on a side note, get off social media if you haven't already, it's one of the biggest causes of anxiety and depression in today's generation. Sorry for the rant, but hopefully you'll be able to take something away from it.
yeah, give up on luck, but i have to disagree: hard work does pay off. Just give up stupid big dreams like being a billionaire or things that are so rare and not even helping with your happiness. But don't give up being happy doing what you love. You can do it, and definitely will do it, if you work hard everyday.
Léa Fourlin Aim high miss high
Basically he's saying that it's good to have a goal and a dream in your life but you should also be a little bit more realistic and not give up everything in your life for this goal/dream that is super unlikely to happen.
Work for your dream, but don't sacrifice your entire existence for it.
C R O N E X X I mean, did he have a backup plan? Didn’t seem like did
@@jessindeed He was 16 when he started being famous.I am not sure it was even his plan to begin with some friend shared his video or something.
The point is....luck plays a huge factor. In everything. You need to know It. You can do everything right and It might still not matter. Also many people might do less than you except for being in the right place at the right time and make It big, bigger than you. Too many people won't tell you that. They will tell you "Dreams come true!" And forget to add "just not for everyone". If you bet everything on the idea that hard work and dreaming and visualize it and wishing It into existence will 100% work, you will be distraught if you don't make it anyway, despite doing everything right. You'll blame yourself, you think you lack something, you'll question yourself, your beliefs and you will get depressed.. You won't get it. All because you didn't factor in sheer dumb luck. You need to know. That doesn't mean you shouldn't do the work, that doesn't mean you shouldn't hope for it, dream it, wish for It but you need to know....It might still not be enough. Because luck plays a factor. Because we're just one person among billions and not everything is under our control. And you need to be objective and aware of where the line that divides your fault and flaws and just the rest of the world and how It works is. You owe It to yourself and to your sanity to be aware and be ready for both success and failure.
Conan & Bo in the same video? I couldn't have clicked faster.
omg yesss!!! will you upload the whole interview? I don't have cable D:
Finally someone who said it 😂 but keep doing whatever you want. The system may be rigged but your talent is yours and yours alone, and it's up to you to exercise it. It doesn't matter if there are only 25 in the audience.
I woke up optimistic but thanx to this geeza who ive never heard of ive decided to give up on everything, my kids are gunna have to fend for themselves now too, sooner they realise to give up the better, thanx guys
be realistic, that's all he's saying
Huge props to him for being crushingly honest. It's not that you can't work your butt off and become mega rich and famous and loved and admired etc. It's that for every 1 who makes it, 499 don't. Not because they didn't try as hard or didn't have 'it' but because of luck, chance and numbers. Even the ones who do make it are lucky to make a living out of it for more than 5 years before being replaced by newer, younger, fresher acts. Decade long stars are a rarity in comparison to those that came and went and desperately try to cling to their 15 minutes of fame, rehashing what made them a name forever.
The lesson is - do it to enjoy it. Live a full and rounded life. Half of the people who do make it made it because they sacrificed something and dedicated all their energy on one thing while neglecting others. Loads of them are unhappy or damaged people who have found money and fame didn't actually fix any core problems.
Bo Burnham has repeatedly been honest that performing for approval takes its toll on a person.
Its never too late to give up!
I understand when he says he got lucky buy i believe he is truly talented and has ability that not a lot of people have. I hope one day he can conquer his demons and perform again. Probably one of my favorite comedians.
I'm not going to give up. Not because a celebrity tells me not to, but because giving up would mean sacrificing a part of who I am. I don't expect fame (though it's a nice thought), but that doesn't mean I'm just going to stop. I'll work on the sides. I don't care. Who knows, maybe a little luck will come my way.
lmao, you sure you aren't a comedian already? you're pretty damn funny
I support you fr
That's actually true, survivor's bias or whatever it's called is a real thing
Do what makes you dream as a hobby. And if you get big by doing it, that's awesome.
Bo's the one person who could tell me to give up my dreams and I still wouldn't be offended
Honest stance right here. He even mentioned Taylor Swift whereas the average person in his position would have thought to keep names to themselves. But he is right. Lily Collins ring any bells...?
0:46 "NO BUT IT IS". Lol helium much?
Rick Astley will never give up!
No, no he will not
1:30 that evil face....i knew you were a tall fish man
I'm a simple person.
I see Bo Burnham, I like.
in tone with what Christopher Hitchens said when asked for advice on how to become a writer, which was something along the lines of .
if you have to write, you're a writer, if you just want to write because it'd be a great field to be in, it's not for you, a writer feels a need to write.
You can see in Conan's eyes how uncomfortable he is with the fact that bo is saying that his succes was just luck
Edit: I disagree with myself lol, i think I was on drugs when I wrote this, but I do think that a lot of people would find Bo's opinion outrageous. The Entertainment industry must be one of the least meritocratic industries in the world, so much talent everywhere but just a few very lucky get discovered. That doesn't change the fact connan and Bo are awesome, but we have to remember they might be hundreds or thousands of people as good as them that are right now working at McDonald's while making stand up afterwards on random bars and will never get discovered.
I dont see that even a little bit. I see someone who clearly relates to what Bo is saying.
If you've ever listened to Conan's interviews or his podcast stuff, he often mentions how lucky he got, and specifically says he hates when people fail to acknowledge the part that luck plays in success. So no, you can't see anything in his eyes. You're just making assumptions out of your ass.
@@MS-he3wz that's very interesting actually, do you have any link about vonnan talking about luck and his success?
