Top Comments of this video!! :3
this man really dropped the best analysis of the special yet and then brought us outside to touch grass

Something I picked up on as someone who suffers from anxiety. The door is in almost every shot of the special, and I think he does an amazing job of capturing the desire to stay inside. It's right there, all he has to do is walk out. I don't want to be stuck in my room, it's messy, it's cramped, it's lonely, but even so it's a comfort. The shot towards the end when he steps outside, and the spotlight is on him, he panics and desperately wants go to go back in but it's too late, hit me so hard

I just have to say, I love how consistently you experiment with the video essay formula, I thought this was outstanding and frankly, quite moving. Excellent work Thomas!

I feel like him being inside the room is both a portrayal of the lock down, and a metaphor for just how isolating mental illness can be. Being inside also seems prison like at times, but also seen and referenced as a safe place he doesn't want to leave due to terror.

As a big Burnham fan who has manically watched almost all the video essays about his special, your video truly stands out. I absolutely love it.

I love the way your video uses Burnham's own formal techniques to comment on Burnham's formal techniques. That kind of meta-commentary seems especially fitting to tackle a special that is in itself a meta-commentary/deconstruction. Maybe that's an obvious observation, but I hadn't seen a similar comment yet. Anyway, I appreciate the deep thought you put into this one, and that you didn't just default to your typical video-essay (which would have been great too).

All eyes on Thomas Flight, incredibly well done! :)

Really great work man, I watched through your entire essay and found myself rewinding parts just like I did when I watched "Inside" for the first time. The way you articulate your ideas and even criticize parts of the special in ways that others havent really made this stand out. And of course the insane amount of effort that went into mimicking the style of the special was fabulous, im exhausted after just watching it, I hope you learned some new tricks by replicating the shots and it was worth it! It made it worth it for me as a viewer, the replicated style really drove home your points you were making. I gotta say though, my favorite bit was the mock "horror" trailer you made, soo good!
Thanks for the awesome essay. I've been thinking about "Inside" since the moment it ended and I really appreciate your analysis and video creation. Ive watched a bunch of your other essays as well and think youre a really talented and smart dude!

So I’m friends with the one of like 3 other people that has a credit on the special and he said that the original was much longer like twice as long. RELEASE THE BO CUT

Inside feels like a "comedy special" version of a fractal. The more I listen to it and the more I watch it, I notice different details and angles within the writing and production. It has been one of the most enjoyable and thought provoking pieces of media I've consumed this year. Your video is an excellent breakdown of what makes Inside so great. Thank you!

Commenting for engagement, but this truly blew me away. As remarkable as Inside is, I think this might be one of the best video essays I’ve ever seen. You really got inside (pun always intended) his techniques, to understand, to analyze, all in the most empathetic and intelligent way. Your channel has always impressed me, but this was an experience on par with watching the special itself. Thank you so much for your incredible work.

I’ve seen a couple of video essays on Inside because I’m obsessed but this is the best one by far

the section where you emulate Folding Ideas' format actually got a cackle out of me when I realized what you were doing. invoking the style of other popular online essayists/analysts as your own, like, "stream gamer" segments is super thoughtful and clever!

I loved all of this. Thank you ❤️

Since this special came out, I've been doing a deep dive on Bo Burnham. This is definitely the best video essay about Inside I have watched so far. I love your content and I can't wait for another video essay soon!!

2 things: Brilliant editing! The portion that sticks out to me the most was the horror trailer, which I thought was really well done. I also wanted to say good on you for having the confidence to stick through with this video. I know personally I would've doubted myself way too much to finish, but I'm glad you completed it and shared it. Love your channel, keep up the great work!

This complements the special so well. Love it!

13:45 It's really interesting how well humor and horror go together; I forget who, but someone once pointed out that they both have the same formula of proposition, leading thought/confusion, and payoff, whether it be the punchline or a scare. Explains why so many people find themselves laughing at scary scenes, or creeped out if a joke's energy isn't conveyed correctly!

I think Bo's mental health struggles as seen in the special are both real and not. I genuinely believe that he's experienced all those issues. However, like many good artists, he uses artifice to make his personal experiences more universal and digestible. 100% personal art, if that's even possible, would have very little value or accessibility to the viewer. It needs to be rendered into a more objective form.
