Top Comments of this video!! :3
I love how the "I hope you're happy" has two meanings. It could be read as genuine, like you talked about, Bo wanting to make people happy. But it could also be read in a more negative, critical way like "is this what you wanted?" Sort of blaming the audience for Bo's mental state. It goes back to how he has contradictory feelings about his fans. He loves his audience and wants them to be happy, but he also hates them for what they've done to him.

On H3, he talked about how after this performance he was backstage just sobbing and shaking. The tour stopped here. Knowing the pain he went through because of his anxiety and complex relationship with his audience genuinely moves me every single time I consider it.
He was having a panic attack here from everything I can tell. And he's mentioned seeing it on film years later, and how he never would have known "how panicked that person was" based on just watching himself.
One thing though, Bo does love this job in a way. Earlier in this recording he tells a heckler to stop because he is "Immortalizing something he loves".

Some say (subjectively) the burrito reference is him talking about taking on too much in his life and it spilling out negatively into other parts of his life. Dudes a fuckin genius. And THAT has to be even worse for him that people think he's a genius making it even harder to create. Probably another big reason why he stopped for 5 years. Epic

This is by far my favorite reaction to his rant. He said once in an interview that he was in a full-blown panic attack by the end of the show and went backstage and cried for two hours afterwards. His last scream was raw and telling, I agree. I'm so impressed by your critique of it. We watched a man break down there, and that audience cheered exactly like he knew they would. Bo is an amazing artist, and a great human being. I'm glad this wasn't the last show he ever made.

Another sad part about this song, is the cheers from the audience after he says "I should probably just shut up and do my job so here I go" - The audience, or at least part of it, seems to have completely missed what happened, and I can't imagine his personal reaction to that response after he bared himself to them. That was a horrible time to cheer at.

With this being his last show for 5 years prior to Inside, every so often through the years, I would consistently look for the terrifying news that something happened to Bo. He wasn't afraid to be real on stage and most people took it for granted or laughed it off. I was relieved when I saw inside because I knew that my favorite comedian was still alive to say the least. I think you need to listen to "We Think We Know You" from his "What." Special.

finally a react on this calls attention to the raw primal energy of his screams is in this... The honestly terrifying thing is how... well they fit in the song, it really showcases the self-awareness he has of it all.
Then you go one level deeper... He's obviously brilliant, he fully knows the measures of his success, he's logically aware that his work is largely loved... can you imagine knowing that the world finds you to high esteem, while being unable to recognize it within yourself?
the human mind is a terrifying thing.

Bo Burnham is the only artist that has made me feel guilty for being a fan.
