I have rewatched the same comedy special so many times that my streaming app asked if I was okay, and honestly, fair question. Pulling together the best Bo Burnham quotes felt like reading my own diary, if my diary had better timing and a piano. He gets the whole internet laughing at things it should probably bring up in therapy. So let’s laugh first and book the appointment later.
Mutual, at least.
Most honest commencement speech never given.
Party animal behavior, honestly.
One star, would not respawn.
Read from the bottom, like a true fan.
My favorite thing about his stand up comedy is how rude he is to his own audience, and how much they love him for it. Someone yells that they love him, and he tells them to stop participating. I tried that exact energy on a first date once. It went much worse for me.
The comedy songs are where he really gets you, though. Every one starts like a sweet little ballad and ends somewhere you never agreed to go, which is also how I would describe my twenties. By the time Bo Burnham Inside came out, half the internet was quoting him to cope, and the other half was pretending they were not crying at a sock puppet.
People keep passing these around because he says the anxious part out loud, then makes it catchy. Nobody wants to admit they relate to a song about crying yourself to sleep after a party, but the view counts do not lie. Laughing at it together is how a lot of us finally admit it.
The piano is out. The lights are low. The therapist is on speed dial.
Still not done? Accidental Comedy Is the Universe Doing Open Mic Night Without Telling Anybody picks up right where this leaves off, and 22 Stand Up Comedy Jokes From the Industry’s Up-And-Comers has plenty of new names to overthink. Either way, you are staying up late.
