“I saw a boy with red hair” “...”

Red-headed children are courageous examples of today's society I am moved by their bravery

YOU PUT NICK FURY IN A 3D CINEMA WATCHING THE WINTER SOLIDER YOU AMAZING CREATURE.

‘He didnt hear me shout look out for the train’ *cause I didn’t say anything*

The end of this made me realize that this song isnt about replacing sadness and mourning with jokes, but using them as a coping mechanism holy CRAP

"i saw a giraffe that had a short neck, that was sad! or a deer..."

2:00 I love how you just refuse to animate a kitten hanging itself. Like hell no kittens are too cute for that.

"I met a homeless man named Rich.. IsNT THAT IRONIC."

i fucking lost it when he took out the tissues, this is gold!!

"and the dog didn't have any legs" w wait how how did it escape I am so I just realized

Bo: I met a homeless man named rich; That’s cause he burned the house down

The world isn't sad It's funny! I'm a sociopath

"Because my empathy is bumming me out", really hit home for me.

*pulls arrow out of chest* "yikes"

I paused to see what the onion said “My tears” “life isn’t worth it anymore” “hhhhh” “#depresonion”

“I saw a boy who had red hair” (Weeping)

I really like the song's message (at least the one I receive) It's human nature to make jokes about horrible things and it's actually FUNNY because it's horrible but true. Humans do this because otherwise I think we'd all just sort of drown in negativity and the world would be so much more of a crummy place.

I'm honestly surprised that more people haven't noticed this video with how stunning your art style is, especially considering this is only your first animatic! Loved this ^^

"I just thought.. this is ginna be sad And it was... I'm a genius" XD

The darker the color the more feeling to it. Pinkish means happy while blue is a sad. Pale is normal I guess because he was going form sad to happy

I've watch this so many times, and I just noticed that it said "#depronion" with the cutting onion. *F U C K I N G D E A D*

I feel like the colors are supposed to show how he hides his sadness with jokes but he's really sad inside. Idk u told me to try and figure it out.

I love how he changes color at the end. That hit hard.

“I wear size 13 nikes.. MENS size 13 nikes” Beat that! Depressed teenagers: *observe*

i get the colors! throughout the beginning he kept getting sadder, so he turned darker shades of blue. but then he realized laughter and became a vibrant red. when he was saying his empathy is bumming him out, he got sad again. when he’s looking around during the end, it’s orange and blue.. because the world can be sad and happy

Okay. In the beginning he's *blue* because he's sad about all of the sad things around him. Despite all of the horrible things happening in the world, people are generally happy! They are *orange*. Why are *they* happy? Suddenly he realizes that there's comedy in everything! Even sad things. He finds comedy as a way to cope with all the bad things. HE becomes orange! But it's not right. Things aren't just *orange*. They aren't just *blue*. In the end, he finds a healthy in between and the sun rises on a new way of looking at things. A new way of life. A tear rolls down his face to symbolize how even though bad things happen, the world still has *beauty* within it.

Does the “boy with red hair” actually look like Cavetown? Or have I just been watching too many of his videos... tune in next week to find out

*pulls arrow completely through body* "......yikes"

i realized i was so close in getting the timing in the video to 4:20 but i didn't aUURgh

*hears the song* haha *watches this* WHY AM I CRYING?

Really reminds me of Evan Hansen.

First half of the song: *me complaining to my friend Friend: Just laugh more Me: ok

the train part when he pulls out the tissue box killed me

was that "boy with red hair" robin from cavetown.......?.??????..??.?.??.?.?.?.?

the dog; *they see me rolling, they hating*

1:32 "Ooh, this is gonna be sad" *Grabs tissues* I'M FUCKING DYING HERE

LMAO love the 3D movie part!!!!! Nick Fury out here casually watching The Winter Soldier

this is beautiful yo! not only your art style but the way you portrayed Bo's lyrics. I hope you make more animatics!

The art is amazing and fun, perfect for this song. And the song itself is really deep - humor is almost exclusively a coping mechanism for life hardships.

"LET'S ROCK-- no." is the best scene of animatic

This was oddly serious for one of Bo's funniest songs... And I love it!

This seems to me like a really hard thing to animate, since everything he is describing *is* really sad. But damn you made it hilarious! The dramatic eyes, the sparkles, the tissues, Nick Fury (!), "so brave", the cape. It's brilliant. (And yet you managed to smack me in the feels again with the face he pulls at his empathy bumming him out. Bravo.)

"I saw a man with one eye" Life is strange 2 fans:😐

Me: *Has smiling depression* Bo Burnham: imma' bout to ruin this whole man's career!

The boy who had red hair part is so genius because it's right after one of the shocking lines and there's just like 3 seconds of silence so the audience has time to realize what he just said

Is it just me or does Bo suffer from crippling depression?

This kid reminds me of Artemis Fowl; ruthless, emotionless, genius

I love how the animation tells an actual story of a guy that has a sociopathic realization and becomes and unfeeling hoody guy

Such commitment, people animating never do the full song anymore and it's good that there are still people who do. c: btw.., THE ART IS AMAZING

*the world isnt sad...world's funny!İM A PSYOHOPATH!!!*

This turns my sense of humor into a musical

There is so much more meaning to his songs then just comedy. He addressed the bad things in this world, but then told us it’s not all bad. I really like that about him.

omg i hope you get the recognition you deserve asap this is so good :'D

I love this?¿

the pain at 3:00 and forth is what made me shed a tear :´)

I’m just eating water with a fork

I think this is the best SAD animatic I have ever seen

I love the depressed onion lmao

Rich is homeless because RICH SET A FIRE AND HE BURNED THE HOUSE

For this being your first animatic....DANG. This was truly amazing! YOU are amazing.

Awesome art style!

What year did this guy become a comedian

2:03 *Logan Paul entered the chat*

"I saw a woman at her daughter's funrealy, hahaha, classic comedy." Isn't it nice to laugh at someone's death! Hahaha, what a comedy.

"Tragedy will always be joked about" That's a pretty bomb statement. Just like that Ariana grande concert.

#depronion

I love it when people make bo burnham anamations because it just fits so well

“I saw a giraffe with a short neck, that was sad or maybe a- deer-“ I’ve never laughed so hard

Oh my god your art style is a blessing, it's great and I am incredibly jealous, teach me oh artsy one

those 99 people who clicked dislike actually thought it meant, "dis I like"

I can gauge my depression based on how this song hits.

I love how he says “Thank you” after every song..

(Before you comment I should get rid of the guidelines- so many people has already told me that and I’ve improved on it. It’s kinda annoying now, sorry. I understand if you just wanna give advice, but it’s not really going to change this video’s quality??? Thanks) Guys I try to respond to all the comments but there's more and more, so I'm really sorry if I didn't see your comment D: ! But thank you for all your support!

This is outstanding!! You picked the best song for an animatic and your art style really captures movement in emotion! *SuBScrIbEd*

This art style is amazing.

If I could change my voice to bo’s I completely would

Wow! Those last two frames had some seriously beautiful colour contrasts. I loved it!!! I'm definitely gonna look at more of your animations! Congrats on a new subscriber!!

There was a lot of really good raw art in this. This piece is more than just dependent on the song playing in the background, it is a stand alone example of the type of artist you are, and I only wish that I was as talented as you. Amazing!

I absolutely love how at the end it shows the world and the character as both red and blue, representing that the world and people are never one emotion but loads at the same time.

"I saw a boy who had red hair" I felt that Im a natural ginger

the expressions on Bo and the background is hilarious

3:25 actually Dave Strider in his godtier

I went to a store that only sell paintings of the same sad guy now wait this store sells mirrors se what I did there let's rock.

Blue represents sadness and the red/orange represents humor, I cracked it

Shit dude you're in dire need of some more followers - your art style is absolutely fantastic.

1:57 ...was it JD from Heathers?//shot But seriously great job with the animatic, I love the way you draw expressions!

Are we gonna gloss over the #depronion in the very beginning? That's genius.

At first I thought he ended with "hello drugs"

I saw a boy with red hair 😢 So sad ...

1:00 is that nerris from camp camp

This animatic and your Country Song one were my introductions to Bo Burnham's content in 2017, so thank you for your work and kickstarting my 2021 spiral into Bo Burnham hell

It's almost midnight and I have school tomorrow yet I decide to watch this *worth it*

Beautiful

I get so hyped when he says lets rock it and when he said no i was so dissapointed

Friend: What kind of sad songs do you listen to? Me: *Just picture a depressed onion cutting itself-*

Yt really be still recommending my videos to y’all huh (I’m so sorry for not posting in so long!! Still love bo I just don’t have the motivation and time :( )

Boys who have red hair who listen to bo: oh wait i forgot they don't exist

i shOULD STOP WATCHING THESE IN CLASS BC I JUST SNORTED AT '#DEPRONION' AND MY TEACHER IS SUSPICIOUS OF ME-

I really loved how all the colors were so detailed and had specific part to go with animation. I also love the art style it's really advanced

wow you have a real talent here! I feel like there a few lines and circles which are not needed, but that doesn't bother me to much. Really creative animation and nice style.
