I keep thinking that ‘funny feeling’ is mechanically like ‘white women’s Instagram’ in how it’s just listing things, with the chorus tying it all together conceptually, and then a personal element to it And then I think about what that could mean. It may not have been intentional, but I do like thinking that ‘funny feeling’ is both meaningful and also superficial in the same way that he portrays the characters of white women Instagram (the woman and the judgemental audience)

More than the special itself, I've just loved watching Bo's evolution. Watching "Inside" then watching "what." or even "Make Happy" it's so clear how much he has matured not just as a performer and creative, but as a person. The nihilistic humour is still there, but he's replaced the bitter cynicism with a much more objective, mellower lens, and I love that.

I found it hopeful at the end actually. Because of 2 scenes. 1) Bo watching "It's Bo Yo" on tv. This song is like.. 14 years old. Dated poorly in terms of some jokes. Which he addressed. I think it might be slightly embarrassing, maybe even painful for him. It's also him as a KZfaqr originally. Alone in his room, making stuff, recording himself, having fun. It's the start. What caused him to be famous. Maybe what caused his mental illness and distress. But... 2) Bo watching "Inside" at the end. He smirks. Maybe smiles? I read it as a satisfied grin. He likes doing this. He still finds value and joy in his art, his talent, his craft. I think he's proud of what he can make now. To me, Inside is not just a recknoning of his year spent in lockdown. But a retrospective in his over-a-decade career and also a re-entry into that career. He's been here. He was here. He's coming back.

@ianbyrne4652 жыл бұрын
I think it’s also kind of emblematic of a transitional point for him. You go back to especially his older love shows. The songs are always witty and point out the absurdities of life, but it’s only really the last song or so that gets really raw and open and emotionally vulnerable about his role as a creative and an artist. I think being the “singer who makes comedy songs” was kinda getting to him, thus why he chose to step away and calcify himself as a serious artist by working on other things. That scene in particular struck me very similarly to OPs reaction, but there was also something more... satisfied. Like he’d come back to this, he’d struggled and stressed over it and so much more, and he ended up finding this knife’s edge balance between humorous and vulnerable and honest and witty and artistic. Something he’s been looking for for years, in a medium he loves. Inside is fantastic, and I’m so happy Bo’s getting recognized for this

There’s one transition that really stuck out to me as a very creative visual trick. In his bit about being a streamer playing the game that is his life, he thanks someone for donating money and turns his camera off because a “cutscene” is happening. Which is something a lot of streamers do so everybody can enjoy the story of whatever game they are playing. But in burnhams case him turning off the camera is also transitioning into the next bit without having to make any cuts or distract the viewer. I thought that was extremely clever.

I don’t think “Inside” was supposed to be easy to watch. As Anthony said, that’s kind of the point. Being isolated wasn’t easy, so watching someone else go through that shouldn’t be easy either. The irony of this special is that in displaying his loneliness for all to see, he made a lot of people (myself included) feel not alone.

People talk a lot about "All Eyes On Me" being their breaking point due to how emotional the performance was, but I keep coming back to "That Funny Feeling" because there's something so profoundly haunting about how he tackles that song. The acoustic guitar with the dead look in his eyes as he lists all those micro absurdities that culminate in an overwhelming sense of apocalyptic dread at the end of each verse is just incredibly terrifying. "The whole world at your fingertips, the ocean at your door. The live-action Lion King, the Pepsi Halftime Show. Twenty-thousand years of this, seven more to go. Carpool Karaoke, Steve Aoki, Logan Paul. A gift shop at the gun range, a mass shooting at the mall." "Total disassociation, fully out your mind. Googling 'derealization', hating what you find. That unapparent summer air in early fall, the quiet comprehending of the ending of it all" I cried at this song, full on bawled. It perfectly illustrates my despair in regards to where the world is going and how utterly powerless I feel watching this unfold. This song is peak millenial doomerism, it encapsulates everything my generation has been trying to avoid through denial and brings back to a recurring theme in the special, which is "should we be joking about this ?" It sets the tone for the end of the special, where all the neuroticism and alienation explored prior to that moment culminates in complete abandonment. "That Funny Feeling" is akin to that moment when you have depression where you start seriously considering suicide because what's the fucking point anymore. Such a heartbreaking moment portrayed brilliantly, it's like asking your friend how he's feeling and they just look up at you with pockets under their eyes and a weak smile as they say "Well, I'm not dead yet, so there's that". In many respects, Inside is very reminiscent of Father John Misty's Pure Comedy, but with actual jokes while being just as depressing and "That Funny Feeling" is the most "Pure Comedy"-esque song in the entire project.
@jaxrulesuall3 жыл бұрын
For me, it was the combination of both songs that really hit so hard. That Funny Feeling came across as the logical part of his mind trying, and failing, to make sense of the world around him. Looking at his dissociation and isolation objectively through the things he's seeing and not relating to, which is something I've done before. And calling it "that funny feeling" felt to me like he was hinting at something that he was afraid to fully tap into because of what he might find, like fighting off an anxiety attack when you have real reasons to be anxious. Then it switches to All Eyes On Me, and it's like he's finally given in. He's not thinking objectively now, he's not even making a lot of sense. It's very emotional, self-indulgent, self-pitying, and chaotic. He tells you the reason to feel sorry for him, and inflates his own problems and emotions to be larger than the fact that "the ocean's rising" or the idea that "the world's ending". He doesn't care about any of that, he can't care about any of that, because the weight of it all has made him only able to ask us to pray for him, to keep our eyes on him, and to try to claw back some sense of safety. I listened to All Eyes On Me first before viewing the special, and it hit WAY harder after the primer of That Funny Feeling before it, and with the ending scenes after it. I think they're two of the most powerful songs together that I've heard in a while, much more so than they are on their own.

Bo Burnham did something very special here. He captures certain feelings and emotions that a lot artists don't even touch, let alone nail, which is what he did. He absolutely nailed it. He nails the anxiety, hopelessness, and existential dread that the younger generation is facing. He tackles dissociation and derealization caused by modern technology, which is something that resonated a lot with me. Obviously I don't know for sure because because this era of humanity isn't quite over, but I think Inside will be remembered as one of the best Covid-era pieces of art.

I understand the depressing undertones throughout, but was I the only one that found the movie still mostly funny? Maybe for me it is because, as more of an introvert who works alone at home, the pandemic has not ruined, or affected in any significant way, my lifestyle. Still found it relatable though, but that is just a testament of Bo's reach. And contemplative too, just not depressing.

I have a slurry of mental health issues but my wife is much more stable and she found it mostly funny. She is the same and very introverted. Some scenes just don't hit the same if you don't relate though. The scene where Bo was joking about suicide and it was projected onto his chest my wife was laughing behind meanwhile I was sobbing quietly because I knew in that moment Bo was experiencing suicidal thoughts and attempting to cope with his own humor and it wasn't working.
@OsKarMike13063 жыл бұрын
When you start using humor as a coping mechanism for your declining mental health, your sense of humor becomes very skewed and what you find funny often isn't for others. I found the special hilarious in the same way that me getting denied help at a suicide hotline was hilarious. The kind of funny where you just laugh because, if you don't, you'll sob yourself to sleep. That's how the special resonated with me, it was exactly my brand of humor, it spoke to me in such a real and raw way that I didn't even think about how depressing it all was. To me, that was just the comedy of life in all its tragedy.

I loved the pandemic - I'm also an introvert so staying inside was actually really great for me. Nevertheless, I still found Inside kind of sad, but not in the way where it made me depressed: I just watched the depressive aspects grow and grow throughout the special to the point where I wasn't feeling the humor as much, and I was invested and interested in the emotions, but not very sad myself. I think " contemplative" is the best word, actually - it was fascinating analyzing all the complex emotion that the special contained, and the meaning behind different moments in the special, especially the ending - but I wasn't personally empathizing with all of the emotions, or at least not fully.

this special made me reflect on the 'performance' of everyday life. bo's been talking about the fakeness/performativity of the comic persona since Art is Dead, but Inside seemed to be more about the need to perform even without a visible audience - bo speaks and sings with the knowledge he is being watched, but without the reward of an audience and laughter. Even his moments of honesty (all-time low, various mental health bits) are performed - and you never know entirely who you are seeing: Bo the comic or bo the man. us living life, as long as we are observed, is in a way a performance to an audience. Scary and interesting stuff

Suddenly budget plans of past years that were gutted because of "lack of funding" felt very disingenuous. The song is not the main theme but merely a part of the craziness we all experienced this past year and while "radical" sure it was something Bo realized and looked into during the beginning of the pandemic like a lot of people did, including myself.

Most people pick up on a lot of the themes from this special but I’m not sure everyone picks up on the point of it, if that makes sense. Yes, most of the ideas can be applied to the last pandemic year but there is so much more that reaches beyond that. I don’t know, I generally agree with the points that you make but I don’t see Inside as a reflection of pandemic life but as a reflection of current life in general. The focus has been on social media, clicks, capitalism, etc. for so long and there is so much wrong with the way most of us think and operate. I could be wrong but I don’t think the point Bo’s message can be boiled down to “oh, life’s been so tough being stuck inside a room bc of the pandemic”. The idea of being “inside” has to do with looking inside oneself, not just being inside of a room.

I absolutely agree, not even once does he mention Trump, the pandemic, or anything 'current' (outside of alluding to quarantine in 'all eyes on me'). Technically you could of watched this special in 2019 and 95% of the material would of still made sense or had been relevant. I've been thinking to myself: would Bo had made this special even if there wasn't a pandemic? Would it have been another live show? He became famous singing songs in a small room to begin with and I thought this special was a callback to his beginning.

@@jondylon7370 hmmm that’s a really good question. I certainly doubt that we get anything resembling THIS special if not for the ‘Rona but it’s still a reflection more on his career and fame as a whole rather than any grand statement regarding the pandemic. I suppose it’s a bit of the chicken and the egg argument in that regard. I love Bo no matter what and his past work got increasingly introspective so a song like “All Eyes on Me” is the perfect example of one that isn’t about pandemic life but none of this likely gets made without the whole “being stuck at home” angle. I think this special is the perfect is perfect in timely in that regard and perfect within the context of the current climate but still more so a reflection on our society as a whole rather than our general response to the pandemic if that makes sense.

It makes perfect sense to me hearing someone say that they watched it once and needed a breather, but for me this special has provided this really strange sense of relief. There is so much frustration embedded in those 90-ish minutes, and the whole thing just resonated with me in a way that not many other projects have (and certainly not a comedy special). As far as the music, I was really taken aback by Bo with this one. I think this is really the first batch of songs I've ever heard from Bo that stand on their own as good pieces of music with strong replay value. For me, I think he's done his best vocal work to date here, and with each viewing/listen through the album, I find myself appreciating the sound of "Inside" more and more. Nods to stylistic inspirations and the way he's experimented with his vocal tone here just work really nicely for me. I'm also just a sucker for the recurring motif and full-circle writing in music. Any time someone can tell such a clear narrative story from start to finish with an album, I'm just rapt. Okay, okay, done gushing.

I've never cared for Bo Burnham's comedy, he just seemed to be co-opted by fourteen year old quirky kids and I just figured it wouldn't be for me, but something about the completely solo adventure he went on for this special made me interested. I finished the special having felt probably every emotion a human could feel. This is easily one of the best comedy specials I've seen in a while.

I mean the fact 14 year olds like his work doesn't make his work bad whatsoever. He has said before in interviews that he is very glad that his audience is mostly young people, he feels proud of it, and I think that's good. I've been watching him since I was a kid, I was only 12 years old and he was barely off of KZfaq at that point. I am an adult now and have been for a while, and I really don't think I would have grown into the person I am today without having been so obsessed with him as a kid and watching his evolution as a comedian and a person. This new special already has the potential to do the same. It isn't about him directly changing me, it's about him teaching me how to ask the right questions. Idk I went on a rant after my initial point but I have a lot of things to say so they get mixed up sometimes.

Regarding Fantano's feelings coming away from "Inside", I do challenge him to watch it again. He might have missed what I did the first time watching it, which was Bo smiling at the footage at the very end while the crowd went from laughing at him to cheering for him. I missed that and I realized how much of that might have been my own doing and it blew me away that I didn't see it the first time when watching again. I will let you interpret that ending how you want, but it does paint a much more hopeful future.

People have always really connected to Bo. When he came out he was saying insane over the top stuff and we loved it and that generation just connected because we were growing up and really immature just like him. And now all the gen z kiddos are connecting with his depression and anxiety ridden special... because that’s what they always feel. And also his generation is connecting because 2020 has made everyone feel some of that. So yeah. Bo knows how to connect. He’s also a fantastic comic.

How do you feel about the claims of it being a masterpiece? I think it's pretty damned stellar, but I've seen that word in particular thrown around a whole lot in regards to the special. I feel that that word being assigned to an artistic work usually only comes with the passing of time, such that it establishes greater context for the piece....but given how severe this past year was for almost every person, I can see why the intensity and emotional power of it in regards to the experience of the pandemic would cause people to use that nomenclature.
@TeamBaconUK3 жыл бұрын
I think with it being an art piece that has a meta focus on the art being produced makes the artistry of it far mpre clear. So it's easier to find the mastery in what Bo is doing because he calls attention to it, while wholeheartedly grasping your attention. I think the main thing is that the rawness and honesty of it mixing with the unpacking of specific mental states for many of the people watching it (especially in "That funny feeling"), has seemed to have helped a lot of people understand themselves more. I think it's a masterpiece, though i am interest if it diminishes over time being distictly linked to the emotionally states of mamy in 2020
@maryrosedipiro73633 жыл бұрын
I’d call it a masterpiece simply because no other work of art (whether film, music, etc) has ever drawn such emotion from me the way this special did. I’ve never seen my own thoughts interpreted and articulated by someone else before in the way he has. From what I’ve heard and read, nearly everyone who watched it felt the same. The special actually managed to directly impact my mental health for nearly a week. It brought out emotions in me I didn’t even know I had. Some things get better with time - but sometimes, you know something is special the moment you see it.

I'd even add that if we change the terms a bit I might be able to agree more with people who've said this, and let it be known that I am a huge fan of this special and I've been telling everyone I know to watch it. But is it a comedic masterpiece? No, definetly not. I think the last third of the special is so unfunny, but instead personal and real, that it almost transforms this special from a comedy special into more of an artistic piece, maybe a time piece even. I think when people look back on the pandemic and look towards artistically representations of how we felt, they will look at inside. So whether that makes it a masterpiece or not is not really up to us, but food for thought.
@hansenatwo3 жыл бұрын
I think people claiming it is a masterpiece are doing so because how deeply it spoke to them. It is a bias. It is truely spectacular but I do think masterpieces need time before they are awarded. I don't agree that it is a time piece though. The pandemic just gave a lot of people a taste of what millions of people have been dealing with their whole life.

I feel a lot more could have been done with this review. The special needs more than one watch and concluding ‘nice visuals, interesting sonic inspiration, but it made me sad.’ I think this special will be one of the best ways to show someone who asks ‘what was the pandemic like?’ 30 years from now. The internet insanity coupled with the effects of isolation leading to a certain brand of hopelessness is something that runs really deep inside of many of us at this time. The fact that Bo hit that nerve so perfectly and made Anthony face it says a lot about how well written this special is.
@-butterfly-5943 жыл бұрын
This. This is my favorite breakdown of the special I've seen. I feel like you can't just see Inside as a stand-alone comedy single. It encapsulates and speaks about a whole era and experience, that loneliness, that hopelessness, the feeling that things can't possibly get better and that the world has ended long before you had any say in it. It speaks to a whole generation, not only about the pandemic but about modern internet culture and how it's shaped and created and destroyed our identities.
