Bo Burnham - INSIDE

I never heard of this dude, and just recently kinda accidentally stumbled on his special that he did over the COVID period.

Never knew he was one of the first YT kids that grew up uploading his shit to YT almost 20 years ago. Is he a pioneer!?

I think a "kid" is a genius. His INSIDE special is 11/10 in my book. I have never seen something that I watched and right afterwards wanted to watch it again.

And he can sing. And he makes kinda funny passable music too. I hear Carlin a lot in this special and a lot oh Hicks too. Loving it!

This is just nuts!

I mean, Welcome To The Internet is just a timeless classic! It's so honest and truthful it almost hurts.



And, All Eyes On Me is so totally multilayered that I can't find another similar vulnerable moment from a comedian in a similar setting.



Seems like a cool dude too.

Yeah, I want him inside of me, all day every day!

"White Woman's Instagram" hilariously explained something I had been seeing but couldn't quite explain up until that point. Thankfully the 'best life ever' stylized posts have mostly disappeared from my friends. We're back to unfiltered cats, dogs, guitars and kids.

The pandemic thing was admittedly creative but overall he's an irritating Tryhard.

This will kinda be a litmus test on the dudes/dedettes that take themselves too seriously in their timeline.

You are strong. You are not wrong. You are a fucking know it all!

Not familiar with any of his standup but I did like his first written/directed feature Eighth Grade.

Inside was good but I pretty much have no desire to ever watch anything pandemic related ever again.

Yeahs, this special needs to be revisited. Lean into it.

Makes sense he's dating Dame Phoebe Bridgers.

Not Crap. The guy is undeniably talented and often pretty damn amusing and Inside was great. And rewatchable, which is a relative rarity when it comes to comedians' specials.

Bill Burr's (and his wife's) opinion on Bo Burnham:

I'd say NC though not a fan.
