Every show he makes has a clear message behind it. He'll pick a topic for it and develop a whole thing around it, it just so happens that it went from his views on artistry and his own experiences with the entertainment industry to isolation and depression. All of his shows have a meaning behind them, be it how people treat him as an artist or how superficial the internet has become. He's just talking about things that more people can relate to now instead of a select few.

@@thegirlwhoships Does your formula equate to HIM becoming more superificial? Considering the Nature of the Internet is based on limited sensory engagement, decreased cognitive progression or balance and growing amounts of depraved online material meant to hasten Humanity's decline, far enough past acceptable boundaries to make 'Ra's Al Ghul' himself stir things up again, with a new faction, 'The Guild of Projected-Ex Bosses'. 🤗 Considering the combined failure of Scarecrow, Bane AND "Plain Sight" daughter Talia, 'Rah-G' may look towards a more...REMOTE occupation, (Masks Not Allowed) Anime-EXORCISM!!

...perhaps his Hippie Twin bro over in a "Galaxy far far" from Marvel, 'Qui-G' can teach the Gotham Ghost how to mess with devices at 3am

@@versetripn6631 I appreciate the references LOL I don't personally think it's about his content being more superficial. Speaking from his most recent work, I think he's clever in showing what he means, be it directly (a literal song about what the internet has become) or indirectly (imagery of himself in a clear thirst trap and the crucifying in an apology song to visually mock apology videos online) and he continues to be very self-aware with his opinions and actions. Bo's always talked about how society has issues and judged it, while still admitting he's a part of it and being in the entertainment business is assisting with some of it, as well as doing what he does for his own self-named selfish reasons. Maybe even he sees himself as superficial, since he's doing content still, but I don't.

@@thegirlwhoships Excellent breakdown! I sped ahead of 'context' by attaching your 'Net-Superficiality' 🤣 to his growing 'Relatability'/audience. Knowing nada of his content, you clarified perfectly! Gracias. 😎

Yeah, although I think he does the phrasing on purpose, I've seen a few people be like "wait...what??" And then relief on the next line.

Shouldn't really have to explain that one.

What's weird is that she looked up the lyric and the word and still didn't understand

@@HuyConWargaming it seems like she did once the next line came tho, she just paused too quickly

@@kentskeie2381 yes I agree but she looked it up explicitly and didn't understand which is odd.

Same hahahaha

Ooh, now it’s MY turn to be a hero! Ahem, so Swag is a slang word that some teens in a certain demographic, a lot of west coast and rich kids mostly, use to mean merchandise or really expensive jewelry/broaches/clothing! So when Bo, as the pop star, says Swag it’s believable. But the hilarity of Satan saying Swag is just like, wtf Satan is really gonna use the same word as high class teenagers un-ironically? Lol. I love your stuff Alice!

@@Skilletfan1986 So it's the rare version of "Drip"

@@Not-a-secret-account its something akin to the ancestor of the word 'drip'

He probably thought it was funny and cool. These pop stars are so detached from real people and in way too deep to allow themselves any real self reflection.

@@Toastybees Or maybe he thought it was funny and cool because it IS funny and cool? The dude organized his own roast...to say he lacks any self-awareness is more of a self-report on your part than anything.

@@4tr0phy If he had self awareness he wouldn't think it was funny and cool because the song is calling him and people like him completely evil. Trump had a roast too and he was mad about it after, that doesn't mean anything. Stop using "self report" because you saw Hasan or some other streamer say it, you're using it in the wrong context anyway dingus.

@@Toastybees No, the song is not doing that. Bo Burnham is not rage against the fucking machine. He's poking fun at the insincerity of the relationship between popstars and their fans by being hyperbolic in the way literally all of his comedy is. No, I did not use self-report wrong, and I don't know why you think your opinion on what words I use would be of interest to me. Hasan is certainly a popularizer of the phrase but he also certainly did not invent it. And it's way easier to say "self-report" than "you have inadvertently revealed yourself to be utterly and embarrassingly guilty of the very thing of which you are trying to criticize someone else, making your whole take reflect much more poorly on you than the person you're criticizing." This is doubly true because the thing you're criticizing someone for is LITERALLY a lack of self-awareness, so there's a whole extra layer of facepalm there. EDIT: Forgot to mention. Comedy Central approached Trump about doing a roast. Why would he turn down free money? Justin Bieber was begging CC to roast him for YEARS before they did. Totally the same thing tho right?

@@4tr0phy You really don't understand Bos' message if you think he wasn't being serious and using hyperbole as a mask, and yeah I'm the one lacking self awareness while you write an essay about how right you are even though I pegged your lame ass. I can criticize your usage of words if I want dingus, it's an argument I don't need your consent.

Yea I never actually saw the music vid I just watched the live so I was actually surprised on the turn it took

Mainly what he does to that poor microphone…😂

Also, I know you mentioned you tried a bunch of stuff already, but I've fond a lot of reactors have managed it by simply flipping the video horizontally, combined with making the video translucent. So if you haven't tried that combo yet, it may work for you. Also, doesn't really help for already filmed videos, but pausing semi-frequently to comment on stuff can also help, cuz it doesn't just detect the entire video as one uninterupted audio clip (making it seem like just a re-upload). Not saying to pause every 2 seconds, but maybe pausing slightly more frequently might help.

Weird, I much prefer the music video. Its literally his vision for how the song was supposed to be.

@@nullakjg767 I mean, I don't dislike the music video, I just find the devil stuff a little heavy handed. He still gets the joke in in the live version, but it's not as overbearing as it is in the music video.

@@123TheMpoMan321 I'm rather curious if she is having more trouble because she tends to pause very infrequently if at all. But yes transparent, flipped, super-imposed text. Edit: Oh yes, you said that. She could probably edit in some editing commentary honestly :P

"Oh, hey Satan..." *Bo quickly makes the song very memorable

I read an article saying the same thing about him; that he needs to direct the horror movie almost ALL of his fans want to see!

@@bethsadler3617 Oh boy, I can imagine him making something that would stick in people's subconscious for a *while*. Especially if Inside's impact was any indication.

I love he plays Hitler's speech in the background. Like who tf else can do that lmaooo

could not agree more - Alice laugh and facial expressions are priceless

@@andrewbyronloveshire5209 omg...she's adorable! lol

@@jaceeaster2246 agreed. I can binge Alice vids and crack up everytime.

@@andrewbyronloveshire5209 yes! i wish she would upload more often, shes gorgeous also!

There was one show he did Repeat Stuff (and he mentions Justin Bieber and a couple others in the intro) and Justin Bieber was actually in the audience.

Yeah agreed can you imagine Alices face when she gets to 'that' lyric?

Yes Chris Reacts managed to get around things very well and so does Cliff Beats, wonder if there's any way for Alice to get advice from him?

Dont forget Oh Bo
