plus making GREAT hits

Along with the over stuffing of a burrito.. It was more than he expected, or not the right combination needed.

I think of it more like when he says "Wouldn't have got the peppers if I knew they wouldn't fit" as him not wanting the fame that he gained so quickly.

Fxns I agree. The can is a space others want you to fit into. The burrito is the life that came with fame. Maybe knowing you bit off more than you could chew. Then the struggle finding the middle between I need to go all in, but I know I could over do it. How to balance. Maybe, I don't know

actually, bo himself said there was no metaphor. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m7VxdaySx822c5s.html

Your link says nothing except him talking about eighth grade lmao

I thought the same thing! I was like bro wait till the hook! XD

This did not age well with Bo's new special

Yeah, how about now?

Wait until you hear all eyes on me

Oh damn. This comment aged like milk.

and then the funniest thing happened

PLEASE react to that one!!

Read that after I made the comment. Does everyone have to point out every little thing? Couldn't have just expected me to see that with the next video or two and let it go without correcting the comment? That's why I don't usually comment.

I don't think they are metaphors at all. But moreso it's him saying that people don't care about performers as people but instead just want them to perform. So he said "fine, I'll just shut up and do my dumb little song". It's an emotional reversal.

@@BlazerManiacNumber96 If that were the case and the Pringles/burrito stuff were standalone jokes seperate from the 'serious' part in the middle, then he wouldn't have included all the parts like "if you still don't understand, i think it's time to break it down", and "watch as he tries to give you what he cannot give himself". The 'i don't think that i can handle this right now,' is said over the same melody/track as the burrito lyrics, and the entire theme and title of the show is 'give happy,' and he even says "i hope you're happy" right at the end of this performance. To top it off, the actual show has an over-the-top video play at the end showing him leaving the backstage into the bright sunshine to give a more 'happy ending' than in the song. Not only are the Pringles/burrito metaphors, but they're very obviously meant to be metaphors for the struggles of life/finding happiness/whatever have you. What is up for debate, is whether he's actually dealing with those issues he's presenting and speaking to his actual personal issues, or if he's method-acting and just telling a story for others.

@@Kyopo Disagree

Kyopo lol no. The jokes are used to get your attention. Specifically with the line “i can sit here and pretend like my biggest problems are Pringles cans and burritos”, he’s got your attention and that’s how he has to get you to hear him out. Quit trying to make these things some “deep” metaphors.

@@stupidcamel9782 Has Bo come out and stated that these jokes were not meant to be metaphors? Because if he has, i have yet to see it. Bo views his material as an art form. Which it is. Just like any painting or poem or song, art can be interpreted in many ways. Who are you to claim otherwise? Seriously, do Pringle jokes and jokes about burritos really seem like attention getters? They are literally the opposite. They are mundane and everyday topics. The setting and context makes them effective however. But if he really wanted something to grab the audiences attention, I'm certain he could do better than that. The metaphors that people have gotten from this song are certainly valid and conceivable. They easily fit the narrative of his life at the time. One of Bo's issues with the entertainment industry is that people only see what's on the surface. And he wants people to know that he's so much more than that. It goes much deeper. What could convey that better than telling an ironical joke which on the surface appears to be routine and commonplace topics such as Pringles and burritos, but in reality is so much more complex than that? You very well may be right, and he hadn't meant for it to be so complicated. This is doubtful. But do you think Bo cares what people might glean from his material? Do you think Picasso or Rembrandt got mad when people looked at their art and interpreted it in some way they hadn't intended themselves? Even more doubtful.

The first two relateable jokes were actually metaphors not filler

@@hadron4834 He actually said on a podcast they weren't metaphors, but examples of silly first world problems. Art is subjective, so it is what it is.

That's what his whole purpose is, he just said that he wants to be true himself, and give us what we want, which is he wants to relate to us, and be true. Because of which, even when he is just relating, it feels like a metaphor, because it's so damn true.

I think it's fair to say it's possibly both something and nothing. And I'm not providing meaningless compromise. I actually think you're both sort of right. He's speaking everyday nonsense, evoking that moment of frustration that becomes your own metaphor. Those moments where you decide if your day is good or bad because of how things compile or don't.

He said that both the comedy bits and the "real" bits are *all* parts of him. (watch his interview on Vulture's Good One series.) He's spoken a lot about how people take the emotional parts of his performance a little too seriously - yes there *is* truth to it, but the funny bits and the sad bits equally make up "the real Bo".

Looks like it wooshed way over most of these people. Kanye included

Well Bo, himself, apparently denied any further metaphorical meaning

Zeke Dimblebee I don't think that I can handle this right now Look at them, they're just staring at me Like, "come and watch the Skinny kid with a steadily declining mental health And laugh as he attempts To give you what he cannot give himself"

@@Skelldr I'm talking specifically about the Pringles and burrito anecdotes

Zeke Dimblebee woosh

Easily

i like art is dead but this is definitely my second favorite

YES 100% next level genius

Legit curious how that "of all time" is standing right now!

@@cameronross8812 still stands I haven't seen new special yet

I know you can't

Buy* and i know you cant 😂

Thanks for correcting me, I'm Finnish so mistakes will be made😅

@@thescarfispurple5727 oh its ok

BOYCOTT THE RAYHART TWINS no worries🙂

i’m pretty sure he said they didn’t have double meaning

YES

Absolutely! And All Eyes On Me from his new special on Netflix Inside

And now he's back

got news for you bestie

When did he disavow the metaphorical interpretation of the joke? Did he do it publically?

Death of the artisr is a hardline and heavily contested viewpoint. Coined by a self important asshole at that. Just saying as someone who had to do a lot of reading on the subject in uni. Ofcourse the answer isn't the opposite either,

New update: dropped a new special. He's not doing well

I always thought the pringles can was life, he didnt get quite what he wanted out of it then all at once it hits him in the face. I also think he makes the argument that maybe having a child would help him get out of life what he wanted. The burrito is fame, the opposite end of the spectrum in which he got much more than he bargained for and noone prepared him for it.. he ultimately wouldnt have done it had he known what he was getting into. I could be wrong, thats just my interpretation.

💯

Plus the commentary on how the audience is the problem. Then they cheer him. I can't even begin to imagine his thoughts on social media.

@@ponyboyack00 he actually came and out and said in a podcast that the Pringle’s and burritos parts had no deeper meaning. Interesting take though

Yes!!! And rant..

the first half he's making jokes but the second half he's serious

you got small hands yo

@@seanjessee0610 lol not really they’re actually pretty fat tbh

Kayne doesn't either

Neither does Kanye

Neither does the guy reacting by the sounds of it...
