If you watch his face from 1:00 – 1:10…he’s totally feeling it. There’s like, real self loathing there. It’s both sad and inspiring.
i love how bo isnt obnoxious and doesnt let the fame go to his head. People like that just end up with nothing in the end. I REALLY REALLY hope that doesnt happen to bo.
cuz who could live with out his comedy?
god i can’t stop listening to this song, it’s fucking amazing. i’ve watched this video at least 60 times and the song numerous amounts more
Carlin was a pretentious cynic. Revering his as your ideal of an intellectual entertainer is pretty shitty.
bo burnham is pure genious
just incase you didnt hear him 1:18 to 1:23 ;D
@krazy4games lol its not susposed to be an awesome singer person thats so great, he suposed to be this just awesome person. he doesnt do this becuase he thinks he can sing he does it cous he knows he is clever and can make people smile
Aw sad…
@krazy4games1 That was intentional.
die Kunst ist tot
Nice song, check out “Space Blend -Que Bert” just finished it!!!
His voice is pretty good but it goes a little funky everynow and then like at about 0:57 when he says, “You selfish asshole.” He kinda goes to angry talking haha but still i really like it
@senorclean66 It basically confirms mine
so, if you wan’t your kids to grow up and become famous, dont teach them morals.
