Bo has specifically said at live concerts that the concept of this song is “what drake songs would be if he dated people longer than 2 weeks”. That’s not the exact quote but close. It’s pretty hilarious. And no disrespect to drake, this song BOPS

you know inside is a masterpiece when the outtakes slap

"If you really wanted some Dim Sum then, You really should have got-ten some when, we put in the order." This is unironically fire 🔥

LOL the best part was you getting fooled by his parody on youtube ads. fucking great.

"I'm a stupid little bitch!" I snorted on my water when I watched that the first time

Love your vids man! You're the only reactor that I've found that actually attempts to interpret, explain and ask questions about what you're watching, as opposed to the usual pause a couple times and make a 3 second comment or two. This is how to use the fair use laws correctly. You deserve wayyy more views on your vids, especially compared to the other reactors. Welcome back :D

1:07 lmao if you look closely at the still, on his keyboard it says “stop pausing”

this is probably the best reaction channel for bo burnham videos no kidding your analysis, reactions and handle of the flow are perfect

I love Five Years. It’s so funny and true. Loving your reactions to the Outtakes!

I love this song, and I think you’re right that it didn’t make the cut because it doesn’t fit the Inside Vibe. But he is Ina long term relationship so I think this is some old school Bo poking fun at cohabitation.

my favourite song from the outtakes, narrowly beating "spider"

The jab at fake feminists was brilliant, reminds me of that Bill burr bit when he said "There are no feminists in a house fire" lol

I’ve had 5 years stuck in my head for 2 days. It slaps so hard.

I don't know how he didn't go insane just from the downlights directly above the ceiling fan. that flickering would drive me crazy re: the spider thing, if a girlfriend asked me to deal with a spider, I'd be like fine no worries, but if she said "be a man" you're damn right I'm pointing out her hypocrisy if she's the type to (rightly, I might add) resist traditional gender norms.

I feel like Bo intentionally made his character in "5 years" kind of a d-bag. Like everything is about him, starting with the voicemail. Hes only doing it for himself. For their anniversary writes an entire song complaining about his partner. With the sharing food bit, he gets petty and says you owe me a dumpling. With the spider bit, he goes off on her for saying "be a man"... when yeah, it is technically not an ideal phrase to constantly be using, but it's so minute assuming that she usually practices what she preaches in her beliefs. And the last one is petty as well. Hes telling her "just use the guest room bathroom"... why cant he is the guest room bathroom? This was just kinda my interpretation. We all know Bo doesnt have a problem playing a bad guy in his songs lol. But it could also just be a song about everyday, mundane fights.

dude, you get it. you give us a point of view we weren't considering. thanks.

This is my favorite one from the outtakes. It's on constant loop in my brain. ❤️

Don’t apologise for pausing, we watch your videos to hear what you have to say about the songs/skits 🙂

I love your take on the 5 years being with himself and the hiatus

Literally one of my favorite parts of the entire special/outtakes is at 0:53. Idk what it is about how Bo is dancing but it's just SO ACCURATE FOR THE SONG HE'S PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND LMFAO. It makes me laugh EVERY TIME. The lil wrist that he does while dancing, I can't

i kinda like to think that the entire voicemail from the start of "Five Years" kind of just sums the song up to what it really is, its like a song being in a relationship and then you have these sometimes small but heated moments of both of them arguing about something small and start juist fighting for whatever reason and sometimes being annoyed at eachother. Like at the beginning he was just asking her a favor to send him back the voice mail, but after that he starts to just say just do it, i dont have to be the one to do everything, and then becomes a bit of an arguement, but he just cools down and says i love you. And it just reflects the whole song from thta voicemail. I dont know if im right but thats what i got from that. But Bo's creativity for music and comedy still nails everytime

best type of reaction/comments/etc on something like this i've seen. really enjoyed it, the pauses aren't bad

Love that you're willing to look at it so carefully but I'm pretty sure the 'everyone's a feminist until there is a spider around' thing is satire. Like as if women can't pull a cheeky thing to get out of dealing with a spider what with everything else they have to deal with? And men thinking that them being asked to deal with a spider is going to bring the movement down? Obvs I could be wrong but it seems that way 2 me

After watching the whole show, it boggled my mind too, the sheer volume of footage and takes, and still he made every right decision for Inside. So fascinating to see his brain working!

I love the way you analyze not just the music but the videotography. I think you would do good at analyzing music videos of comedians (Weird Al, Little Dicky, ...) or rappers with "bars" where there is a meaning behind it (Eminem, Kendrick, ...) But your analysis of the videos behind the music is spot on (drake theme) and I wanna see more of that.

im really glad youre back and im really glad to be seeing these reactions from you again

I just listened to the deluxe album on spotify and now I'm watching your reaction video. I call it a day

You really called it with the Controlla comparison before the song even started!

So happy to see you back at it again! lesssssss goooooo

excited to see you back!

Hey Chris! Fun fact: if you want to skip frame-by-frame on youtube videos, you can use the ',' and '.' keys ('') to go one frame back and forward, respectively. Helps with trying to catch Bo's quick-frames.

I like to imagine that 10:04 is your madmen-esque pitch meeting that won jeans™️ their ad campaign

wow 5 years really do sound alot like controlla, now that I heard controlla, like literally a parody almost

Love your reactions. You've got a good ear and head on your shoulders no lie

Yo sick knowing you reacted to it all in one go, smart move so that you have basically a week or so of content ready to be put out

Hey Chris, a little tip on YT. Pause the video and hit "" to go frame by frame :D. Arrow keys go 5 secs at a time and space bar = pause and unpause. - I did the exact same thing while watching the outtakes. I wanted to see what flashed on screen.

That corpo lgbt logo stuff is called rainbow capitalism if you’re trying to put a term to it

God, I've been loving your reactions sm. Hope you're doing well. (Also, Sir, you're gorgeous.)

Another day another banger

At 1:06 it says 'stop pausing' on the piano. king of details. we all paused there chris :)

5:59 he has captions so you can hear what he says at times like this

possibly in five years the 'you' is his audience, and the dumpling we feel entitled to could be some private part of himself?

SPIDER! Hiding in the corner. Super fucking normal.

this was very great to watch

5 Years is actually fire tho???? haha really got that Caribbean sound that every pop song now has lol and also the voice affectation with the vague, unplaced accent. this was my favorite of all the songs until the Chicken which just bulldozed me with the imagery

Bo is the best motivational speech writer ever. Whilst being very relatable.

Five Years is hands down my favorite new song of his~

It’s ironic how in Bo’s special inside he makes fun of reaction videos like this, but people still make reaction videos about the special that makes one of the same videos

Song bangs harder than any drake song haha. The spider part is just tooo funny lol. but did anyone else get fooled by all of Bos fake ad pop ups? got me every time lol

See, I thought that 5 Years was going to be about the hiatus too lol but then I found out that he performed this song at the Largo in 2019 so whatever lol just a live comedy thing

11:00 "I wrote a joke, you wanna hear it?" *proceeds to tell joke about the word MOIST*

The fake ads were amazing

the ad’s 😭😭😭 it worked on me too

Oooof, Chris I’ve recently started watching your Reacts to Bo’s vids. You usually have the best, most insightful, and thoughtful commentary than any other KZfaq channel. However, I think you really missed the mark on this one. Yes, it was a parody of a Drake-like song or similar hip-hop/pop relationship type “hits”. But, it seems very obvious from the start that Bo was highlighting that the “Man” in the relationship think he is very suave and lovey-dovey, but his actions he describes are extremely douchey, and selfish behavior. From the start, with the voicemail message, asking her to do a favor, while belittling her. To being a selfish baby, with his Chinese food. Who acts like that! When getting Chinese takeout, they give you a shit ton of food, and you usually share apps and entrees? Then the spider… what a pussy, jumping up on a coffee table over a spider. Although he describes himself as a being agile. Bo was mocking him, and showing what a dick he is for using such a trivial incident to lash out at her and completely attack all of her feminist beliefs. Almost all of these type pop songs have this trope of professing love and devotion, but they obliviously describe how shitty they act towards their partner.

Damn i actually didnt think of thatvlast thought for the controller song lol

I'm the feminist at work people call when there's a spider.

Yup. It’s a parody of Controlla. It sounds extremely similar.

So great to see you back, Chris! Thanks for this. Always love your thoughts and observations!

I looooove your reactions

So relatable, dating someone for 4 years (almost 5). 🤣

You are literally the only reaction channel I can watch that doesn't infuriate me. You time pauses and comment at perfect times as to not disrupt what we're watching. keep it up! edit: also thank you sm for not singing along to all the songs lol, so many channels do that and its so annoying

everyone's a spider until there is a feminist around

Hilarious how you don't laugh at the actual jokes, but at the fact that it sounds like Drake song.

Five years is such a bop, I'll bet drake puts this in his Playlist to listen to haha

I think the melody at 5:46 onward is #DEEP

please pause as much as you like, it's great to hear your analysis, even if it's every frame

Hey everyone, the new Chris Reacts just dropped!

personally i think the song isnt that deep lmao but ur entitled to your own opinion. he's just making fun of the people who's songs are about this, like with the voicemail at the beginning he's making fun of people who do that in their own songs i think

For the algorithm!

Everyone is a spider until there is a feminist around

I know this won’t matter much since you already recorded the entire thing, but I really don’t mind the pausing and I kinda wish you did it more. I already watched the Outtakes, I’m here for your reaction, and I’d think most people would feel the same. Anyways still really enjoying this so far! Glad to have you back.

5head take: 5 years away from scene, still him, still us, still same shit?

One thing I am SOOOO glad he didn't include into the final were the ads or the weird pop-ups during the outtakes ... That would have pulled me straight out of the INSIDE special ... It would have killed all types of emotional investment I had into Bo as a character going through the pandemic.

Love the point you made about the five years still here possibly being about his hiatus. I think you might be right

I really despise when people say "be a man" or "you're running like a girl". They're both so fucking outdated. People have to just...stop. Love this song.

You could be onto something with your interpretation of five years since Bo at this time has been with his partner for nine years rather than five years as when this song was originally performed at Largo. At least to my knowledge.

I don't think your theory is correct because Bo preformed 5 Years before live, so that wouldn't make sense

don't apologize for pausing too much, you pause as much as you want to!! i like you giving your opinion on every little thing because it's like we're both thinking the same thing LOLL

is it just me or is the video lagging by like 1 second?

I had the same thought with the 5 years and it being just about himself. Talking to different parts of his psyche

I feel like you're missing the forest for the trees on this one. The song's meant to portray an unhealthy/toxic relationship thats gone on longer than either person really wants. Each of the situations aren't about the literal context of the fight, its about the guys internal resentment of his girlfriend and these situations are just meant to show how that bleeds into their everyday lives. He's a selfish jerk, who uses and puts down his partner. I've had a fair few family members in toxic relationships like this and he portrays it with a scary accuracy.

im sorry dude but this is a terrible reaction/review, you just repeated the bits, you didnt leave personal interpretation and you just repeated yourself. Its not Controlla.
