Bo appreciation post
Bo Burnham's "Mother Talk"
slurpuffeveryday
This guy became my favourite comedian really fucking fast
rumpyforeskin
Fun fact, this dude is like 6' 3"

I sobbed at the end of make happy...

When he came to my uni some girl made him cookies and his heartfelt thanks was so genuine that she cried.

I feel your bod- ITS AFUCKING SCARECROW

It amazes me that even when his show is planned to the gesture (boing) he still manages to tackle hackles live, and still be brilliant.
SerialChillinSpree
The country song is so true. Any country fan out there right now is just a pop fan really, of twangy singer, period.

Yall should watch his vines, they're fucking gold
uspsofficial
If you find any of these funny, please go watch them. It makes them 100x better.
ThatGoingForMe
Apparently "Make Happy" might be his last live show. In an interview in March, Bo said that he wants to write for other people.
parkinglotsushi
"Make Happy" actually made me incredibly sad
ihatepickingusernames
I look forward to watching whatever he writes.

Bo Burnham is a different kind of comedian, you have to understand the direction of the jokes for the humor to flow properly, 1/

And he does a magnificent job of playing with words. If that is your type of comedy, intuitive social commentary to an extent, 2/

I strongly recommend all of his work. Books, music, and stand-up specials are all this style and I love it. One of the best young comics!
rumpyforeskin
His last Kanye bit where he got super deep and at the end said "I hope your happy" and dropped the mic, messed me up for a second

"What Did I Do Last Night" just isn't the same without the build up
imjakefromstatefarm
Agreed the build is the best part bc it makes you think there will be this huge payoff
greendogblue
The pictures do no justice to actually seeing these performed. Bo is a genius and my favorite comedian hands down

PROLONGED EYE CONTACT!

Is he skiing? Or is he in a gay porn?

Here's a hint. *spits* It's a gay porn.

One of the funniest, deepest, darkest performer's out there.

My favorite is Christopher Titus. He is fucking hilarious and gets dark.

Love Titus. I don't even care if that's evol.

Ever since I watched that special my inner retard has that exact voice. I can't stop.

You listen to his podcast?

Seems just funny in pics. But there's something else in his performance that really makes me think about many things.
PancakeFaker
"Art is a lie, nothing is real!"

The theatricality. The music. The lights. Everything. These pics don't do the act justice!
IHaveThePerfectPuzzleForYou
Things like "Is that man skiing, or is he in a gay porn?"
sheriwallace123
*spits* he's in a gay porn! Lol
ashmenon
He's a master at integrating the stage into his routine. The lighting, audio, bits and pieces here and there. It's like a musical-standup.
januskincaid
It's his dick, isn't it?
IJUSTWANTAcleverUSERNAME
yes..
januskincaid
I am so very happy. When I came back to check the latest reply it was at 69 points. Yay!
IJUSTWANTAcleverUSERNAME
You're welcome
ragnar34
Separating a comedian from his delivery like this is unfair, honestly, if we're going to judge his comedy. It's more than words.
IHaveThePerfectPuzzleForYou
It's all about words, words, words. Divide a whole into thirds, thirds, thirds.
CowledSloth
Laughing just seeing images of his comedy. True, it doesn't capture his full performance, but it definitely refers new viewers towards him.
ragnar34
Oh, totally. That's how I heard about him in the first place.
GuitarMuscles
More than words? Isn't that a little Extreme?
ragnar34
I swear to god there's a pun or a reference here but I'm not seeing it

itsakidsbooksantiago
Okay, laughed harder at that.
BearRaid
While it is funny, that joke is older than that dude.
itsakidsbooksantiago
Old jokes can still be funny jokes.
DickButtMcGruff
He makes it his own though with the face he makes and the confetti
Prototypeplaya5
I still have no idea what that means
hockeyprobably
You call them names, the joke is there is no special term. You just call them by their name.
hockeyprobably
That's at least how I understand it, I could be wrong.
TwoCheese
No calling someone names is like calling someone with glasses "4-eyes" or a large person a "landwhale" it basically bullying.
Vespy
To call someone names means to call them something insulting, like a little kid would do.
iOkamii
I still don't understand sorry please help
ErinFromTheOffice
You insult them because they're different. That's how kids do.
leighlovesbooks
You insult him. You make up awful names for him. "In 3rd grade they called me Beaver because of my overbite."
Vespy
Kids A+B: "Haha, Kid C, you are a retard!", Kid C: "Stop calling me names!". Bo Burnham's joke is a pun on that idiom: 'calling names'
KuuroiYuki
A child with no arms and an eyepatch is disabled and different. Kids with bad upbringing bully and insult those kind of people. ++
KuuroiYuki
++ One of the most popular ways of insulting is to make up condescending nicknames.
StrongbadEmailer
I saw the taping of Make Happy live and it's made every comedy show I've watched since seem less entertaining. Watch it now if you haven't
Girtouh
But... that makes every other comedy worse,=Less of the good stuff D:
5il3ntN1ght
I'm sure when he got to the part where he talked about everyone wanting an audience nowadays we all thought about Imgur...like, fuck.
irishinvader
I was there too!!! Early or late taping?
EldrickWoods
He's on another level than other comics.
Heavymettle
It was a very good introspective experience but not nearly as good of a comedy show as What.
BobPantsSpongeSquare
I saw it in Chicago! It was the best night of my life!
pollypocketfullofposies
I've been singing about Chipotle for the last 2 weeks... it won't stop.
lucky13kenny
It will fuck you up though
strawberryblondmoeoese
As he pointed out himself a couple of times, he is honest, in a peculiar way. I loved Make Happy because he was genuine. A remarkable man.
Schuwatto
I'm in the middle of watching it on Netflix right now! It's fantastic so far.

ToastedVanilla
You should watch the Netflix ending... tbh I cried. After lmao all the way, the last song had me seriously in tears.

That doesn't really make me want to watch the making of. I rather like other comedy shows...

I just saw it on Netflix. How'd he pull off the Continuity error bit? Where he switches t shirts?
SendMeReplicasOfYourDick
Editing.
StrongbadEmailer
At one point he sat down at the keyboard and changed shirts. He then got a cup of tea and made a continui-tea joke. And editing.
youdontknowhowtoeatmuffjohnsnow
It wasn't as good as what
FIuxie
Surpassing what is near damn impossible. Make Happy came really really close though.
bertmacklinfbi01
Really? I liked it a lot more than What.
UserNameDotPNG
But still pretty funny
MesserAuditore
Oh please. That's like saying RotJ wasn't as good as Empire. How can you follow up a masterpiece? It's still great regardless.
WhatAreGifs
Man, I thought Make Happy was so much better. He's really grown as a comedian. Timing, confidence, and flow is so solid now.
LordMitchimus
Which isn't as good as Words Words Words
youdontknowhowtoeatmuffjohnsnow
Ya, but I can't find anywhere I can watch it free. Do you know somewhere?
LordMitchimus
I usually just torrent it. Which actually feels bad because I feel like I'm taking money from Bo.
IndignusVita
It was depressing... the end made me sad.
HeyMyCat
Proly bcuz u ned 2 think abut yer lief
jayu
Me too but only because I'm not happy with my life. I would feel happy otherwise - he opens the door at the end, remember that:)
stalinskayak
"What" makes me sad because I know I'll never feel as happy as I did the first time watching it ever again.
ctth0mas
I watched 'what' insanely stoned the first time and it absolutely blew my mind with the brilliance of it.
youdontknowhowtoeatmuffjohnsnow
I'm not sure how I feel. I still laugh through most of it. It's too ridiculous. And I was really drunk when I saw it first, so i was happy
cazo
The Pringle can song is amazing also he makes some good points in that whole closing act. Great stuff overall I'd say
InternetPointsAreUseless
Like how he CAN't HANDle it and you don't know the half(of the can) of it?
SerialChillinSpree
The pringle song production was dope, but that joke dragged too long. you could feel it from the audience when he came back to it the 4 time
JustanotherdamnMinnesotan
that was when I laughed the fucking hardest honestly
LoneWolfingIt
But that song is just a mask to hide how he actually feels from the audience because he knows they don't want to hear about his depression
OhYeaCraigIKnow
He's said multiple times his on stage character has to seem like he doesn't like what he's doing.
TheLastThylacineBookExpert
That's why I think at the end of the special he has that extra song. Once the song is over he leaves his stage persona and greets his gf 1/2
TheLastThylacineBookExpert
And his dog and he seems pretty happy 2/2
RedWineLipStain
Make Happy actually made me really sad

Somebody downvoted you, but I got you.
Portimion
Same here. I was more depressed aft watching Make Happy than before
radacal
That's why I love him so much. He's more of artist to me than a comedian. A lot of his art is hilarious, but the end of make happy was sad
GravyFox
I genuinely worry that he is seriously depressed.
RedCharlie
He is sadly.He just never wants to throw it at us and drop into the 'Thick' where we would throw him to the curb. But we wouldn't, love him.
StrongbadEmailer
I left feeling as if that were the case. I really hope he's happy.
SendMeReplicasOfYourDick
He probably is if he can see so clearly. Seeing like he does is hard, trust me.
sheriwallace123
But I love how he was real with us, I thought it was really cool. And he opened the door at the end; the light at the end of the tunnel.

Its an act, he said in an AMA that he's very content with his life.

MyLuggageAteMyHomework
I don't think so. You don't have to currently be going through something to be empathetic and show understanding. Even if he is content, it
MyLuggageAteMyHomework
(2/2) shows he gets it, which, for me, gives it just as much meaning.
