Top Comments of this video!! :3
I'll say what I've always said. Bo isn't a comic, he's a performer. Every light, every note, every movement is planned down to the millisecond. He's painfully aware of his talent and the exploitation of talent as a whole. He's brilliant absolutely brilliant, and its killing him while we all laugh.

I'll always remember the time I met Bo. It was right before Eighth Grade was set to release in theaters, and my local theater had its posters put up all around outside, on the marquee and everything. I was walking by one day when I saw Bo standing outside the theater. He was just... looking up at the posters, the marquee, with this sort of wistful expression I can't honestly describe as happiness. I can't imagine what must have been going through his head. (I let him have his moment and then managed to catch him for a quick hello as he was walking away; he's a very nice and gracious guy.)

I've been following his work for a long long time. My wife took me to his comedy show when he toured our city. When it was over, she finally realized what I saw in this kid. She's a therapist and saw much deeper things and saw more to him than just jokes. Just like you did. Thank you for your perspective.

Bo is the intellectual opposite of "ignorance is bliss".
He's so self-aware it sometimes cripples him. It seems like he finds some relief in comedy, but I think what really helps him find peace is pulling the curtain down and showing his audience a perspective they may not have otherwise considered.
Videos exactly like this one prove that his message does get through.

One of the differences about Bo Burnhamās stuff that didnāt age well is mainly that heās quite clear that heās a young kid that was doing some shock stuff for some quick laughs, yet at the same time heās fully aware of what heās doing . Then, as you said, you just watch him grow artistically and even mentally and itās a crazy journey

He's somehow perfectly explained this deep duality I feel- a hatred I have for what's happening in the world that makes my heart shatter, and the use of comedy as one of the only ways I can fight back against how powerless that world makes me feel.
"Live your life without an audience" was the advice he gave that I've held really near to my heart.

I have cant handle this on my spotify. To this day it always gets me, you can hear Bo's voice tremble, you can hear even through the reverb how his screams are not just singing but are in fact real bursts of angst and anxiety. For those with anxiety you can FEEL the song and then to learn later that he was having a panic attack and that song was a literal cry for help, it was just PURE emotion on stage. The most him he had ever been and it was at one of his lowest scariest career moments. Just literal amazing art that can never be truly recreated.
Edit: Also wanted to praise you and how well you did making this video coherent and fluid. Great job!
