I hoped ThAt COmmentators knew it was oBvious to Everyone eLse that this was a Lame duck of a joke by a writer who liked a product. But I wouldn't be upset if they brought back the double stack. It was delicious.

I'm hungry now

Or, as Bo Burnham once said, "They're not sponsoring me. I'm just trying to get them to."

I knew it, Wisecrack is sponsored by TacoBell

That's not fair, we don't have Taco Bell in Germany. And even when I never eat it, I'm craving it right now.

They should definitely check that out.

I really hope they do!!

Of course they will.

Inside deserves a Wisecrack video for itself.

@@wastagwaga they are for sure not going to like all the pro socialism stuff.

Victoria M he makes poetry as well, has a book called Egghead

If you want a "Cry erry time" bob urnham edition look up "Are you happy" its only like 50 seconds but GOD is it good sad

That song from God's perspective wasn't the sole reason I challenged and dropped my faith, but Jesus, that was fucking deep

I feel the exact same

Personally, I've been seriously relating to Art Is Dead recently. I'm not sure what it is about the song, but as someone who has been in theater most of their life, it really hits home. Which, I suppose, makes sense.

And regardless, he DOES own two functioning restaurants. Adding 15 more doesn't detract from the two.

ur my hero, i love ur vids

i was thinking the same thing myself lmao

Thank you so much for your Bo Burnham piano vids

Immediately came down here to see if anyone else had the same idea

AGREE

Super agree

Hell yes

👍

There is, look on newer content on their channel and you'll see one about his Inside special

But does it have more than layers than the Taco Bell Seven-Layer Burrito, which consists of refried beans, rice, guacamole, shredded lettuce, a three-cheese blend, diced tomatoes, and reduced fat sour cream for the low low price of $3.69?

They don't get sponsored by Taco Bell and need to deal with the rejection with BetterHelp

Or just point out dumb shit

He quit making music and doing shows a while ago. You can still book him for parties though

At least he's directing and acting now. 8th Grade was quite good.

If Bo dies, I'd be sad.

I didn’t get him at first, but I see his genius now. Special kid.

ogogo ogpgpg Who said an Ancap can't enjoy pop-philosophy?

No... Post-industrial capitalism has only brought false optimism.

EdgySocialAnarchist Your name fits your comment.

Joshua Manjarrez Eh its a little outdated.

Lol, I could say the same with Karl Marx's "New Communist Man"

It was like 1. comedy is dead 2. meaning is dead 3. maybe new meaning can make you happy 4. (inside) NO! Actually I wanna blow my brains out

as linguistically it isn't that different from "thank you for being here, you're wonderful (the crowd), have a great night" that most performances end with, its the greater context of the rest of the show that propels the sincerity of it that makes it actually punch home hard.

tumblr and sad twitter

An internet channel searching for meaning in pop culture being the one to market it. (While making use of a product that would never be chosen on its merrits to pander to their audience). I know, it's crazy ironic

And to come full circle, the video is about a person singing about the exploitative nature of marketing.

yeah, late capitalism has its advantages

Capitalism is a vicious cycle isn't it?

Thanks for this thought! I took a political philosophy class and one of the philosophers we mostly just glossed over was Edmund Burke, but I remember that he was against the modernist movement and one point he made to counter it was basically saying that if meaning is an illusion, why not leave the illusion? Is it so much better to have the truth that means the same but is sort of just worse. It's not his exact words, but I'm trying to capture the idea. Was his writing in the same vein? Obviously he was speaking in response to modernism and not postmodernism, but the idea felt really similar to me.

He could very well have been talking about both. After all, one is just the continuation of the other, and in that same vein both are the continuation of modernism. I disagree with calling this 'late stage' anything, it is just the continuation of a cycle that has existed as long as life. Out with the old, in with the new, before you can create, you must first destroy, it is the inevitable march of time's progression towards increasing entropy, towards ultimate complexity and infinite nuance.

I think you got the metamodern experiment a bit wrong. It's a return to the grand narrative without undermining our reasonable suspicion of grand narratives which we learned from postmodernism era. It was the postmodern theory that help us deconstruct illusion in the pursuit of meaning and truth. In a way, metamodernism is more postmodern than postmodernism itself.

Yes, it certainly can be for some. For others it can be pretty much anything. Old ideas of meaning are gone, that means that it can be found pretty much anywhere you care to look. If you choose to look to the meaning of the past you will find it, but that is not by far the only place you can look.

@Xenath Cytrin I wouldn't go as far as say old ideas of meaning are gone, I would say that these old idea are being recontextualize to be made more relevant in the modern world.

Fedora Boy netflix have make happy

Esteban Cabrera I meant I want the person who has full control of where the songs go to put it on spotify

Pretty sure its part of the deal he made with Netflix. They're not gonna make one so don't expect one any time soon.

Bo meant for it to be a visual show, like a play. That's why he probably wouldn't put the whole special on netflix, but who knows maybe he'll do the songs?

@@melaniefogel9296 If that's true then why is what. on spotify?

Hahahahaha hahahahaha

It's a metaphor you idiot

Hahaha, classic comedy

The moving is called eight grade

he also directed the latest Chris Rock netflix special

He also directed Jarrod Carmichael stand up special. You can see his fingerprints on the other comics special

Yes,and it's great

It was called 8th Grade, and was released to decent reviews on July 13th.

These thoughts of mineeeee, must be a sign that I'mmmmmm (continue the lyrics pls)

Have you ever stopped to watch a bluebird drop from a tree and take to the air?

Jelmer van Riet me neither

t3r3z1pyrop3 You love the idea of him

me too :(((((

@@elliotburns4961 their idea of him*

got your fill of feels to make it through another day then

Dont idolize him. I'm not trying to rain on your parade but he explicitly states that he doesn't want people to think highly of him so just keep it in mind. Because he is just a person and he doesn't want people to see him as more than just a regular person.

Hey, if someone invents a wedge salad to go, you bet your ass I'll buy it.

Look if pringles would just make the god damn can wider people would stop complaining.

YES. Bill has stated he doesn't put hidden meanings in his songs, but regardless if he put them there or not, you can definitely find some strong messages.

yes

God I need to see that video made

Don't worry I'm trying

Name of the cartoon at 3:50 someone please

Yellow Submarine, The Beatles

Disco Franco Yellow Submarine. You should definitely watch it if you’re into The Beatles. Or acid.

Why would Bo need to see this?

Liara Zap the tacos? They aren’t sponsored by taco bell

connor coates I know

It gets worse the farther you get into the video, omigosh...

I liked it

J Girl i believe carlin used the crunchwrap as a metaphor

J Girl for real! After the 4 subliminal “metaphor” I was thinking the same thing lol

I more interpret it as relating to the themes of the video - the first couple times it feels like ironic promotion, followed by a more cynical view at how oversaturated we are with constant advertisement, and ending with me accepting that Jared just really likes Taco Bell

As Bo sang in his song "Channel 5 News" "And we handle the flaws in these obesity laws in the segment that's sponsored by Taco Bell"

Oooohh Power Rangers movie vibes!!! I love that movie.

Yeah. Buy delicious Nacho Cheese Fries from Taco Bell when they are still available at Taco Bell. Crunchwrap supreme taco bell nacho cheese taco bell bell taco taco cheese bell fries taco cheese fries crunch taco wrap bell.

Well isn't it --not an irony-- Ironic I-R-O-N-I-C

more like they were being paid; it's ironic satire since it's about capitalism and they're trying to put subtle commercialism in there but it's hollow

Sure Taco bell will pay some random youtube channel to advertise them, they really need it!

Jared is running Taco Bell ads so that you'll run to a Taco Bell and get the runs.

I prefer salt-and-vinegar sweet potato antinihilism.

Trii Hugger That's also good too! But that's what I've been eating most of the time. I likes to mix it up every now and then. :P

Trii Hugger I prefer anal

Royce Bacelonia cute pupper. Keep chewing on that cynicism tho. Lesser doggos would choke.

So good.

JustAMacGuffin do you know when it comes out?

Atakan Duman July 13

The superior sitcom

Musical Comedy Heeyyyy

totally not a liar hey

Yoooooo

Yoooo

hey, it's the Bo Burnham guy

SAAAAAAME.

ya the censor bothered me too. although it also always bothers me in general, on tv there were legitimate reasons to censor it, here not so much

Brian Dupuis ad revenue

All the censoring this channel does really winds me up too. They show extreme violence all the time but the word shit is too much?

Zach Gerrity don’t blame them blame youtube, violence=fine have money, swearing = no money for you

Alternatively, you could stop censoring simple words we all know, just so that some fast food chain will want to advertise on the channel to market their poison to children.

John P hes making movies? Can you tell me where i can watch them?

Pochikal le Fluff He has a movie comming out this summer, its called 8th grade, Bo is not in it but he directed it!

Math Pin i guess it will only be shown in america? Or is it on netflix? Or any other platform? (Please say yes xD)

Pochikal le Fluff I dont know... what I know is its comming out in cinema july 13 in America and I think there will be screenings outside of USA (im in Canada but I dont know for the rest of the world) ...and we dont have much details as for how its comming out after (dvd? Netflix? No idea...)

Really well put, I often catch myself selfishly desiring a comedian to make more, but you put that in check here. Following up on a thesis, nicely done!

Zach Gerrity Its really funny, and interesting, how they only censored some words in the Carlin’s 7 words you can’t say clip

I realize your comment is from a year ago, so sorry for the necro, but that's more KZfaqs fault especially nowadays. Constant demonetization everywhere because of swear words and explicit content. It's sad really.

Bill Lowery they're not sponsoring them, wisecrack's just trying to get them to.

No, some of the items he lists don't even match what he said ._.

its a metajoke about how this episode is about how economics(particularly capitalism) affects the shifts in comedy, so they litter a lot of taco bell references

No, its fucking garbage irony.

Or, you know, be funny

One thing that always gets me, and your comment really highlights it, is that postermodernism and nihilism are very destructive entities. Your example of a Christian doing something out of selfishness is incredibly powerful, but it's the reaction to their selfishness. The aim has been to discredit Christianity and considered it a destructive force, but that aim throws out all the good with the bad. I've had atheists tell me they are grateful for their Christian upbringing as it taught them charity, compassion, being a good neighbor, etc. Where this video claims Bo is going with post-postmodernism seems to look at building on those same ideals. The future is one with more compassion, more charity, and more respect shown to everyone. In a sense, I think the cultural shift away from Christianity has seen a massive shift away from being a hopeful society. Society is grounded in the here and now and what's wrong rather than focused on a brighter future. Whether you agree with Christianity, it's hard to deny the positive outlook the religion teaches for the future and how a primary aim is to become more righteous. I'm trying to avoid the current political commentary where Christians act more like Pharisees than they do Christ in the political realm. That is another can of worms altogether and one that deserves scorn (and I am a Christian). But I see a lot of hopeless people that fall in line with postmodernism and nihilism and that's not a great outlook. I adore George Carlin because he could be a very destructive force, but he always aimed to teach and provide a way forward. TL:DR Criticism without constructive remarks is a destructive force. Postermodern and Nihilistic Comedy is a destructive force and Bo is trying to push past that.

@@riffbw well said

@@riffbwthis was so thoughtful and I really appreciate it.

No, I respect my colon...wait no, I've recently eaten hot Popeyes, a poblano omelette and Thai so hot it qualified as a chemical weapon...I think might actually hate my colon...but I love my taste buds, so no Tacko Bell for me.

Thank god i was cooking while watching this or i would be driving over there.

Do you know the name of the song?

I've been trying to find out the song title for the intro.

Greg Sanders use Google. It's a really handy tool

greatest. of. all. time.

The GOAT of what?

Hate to break it to you, but I don't think Bo is going to be doing stand up for a while. I believe he said that he wants to focus more on writing.

Dalton Garrett should they not get paid for this free content there giving you?

Darrick Franklin do they not have regular ads on on this video? Like I’m genuinely asking because I have KZfaq red and they don’t show up for me.

Dalton Garrett nope, no ads are shown on this video.

Mr.Teacher.McC Quit before you suddenly go missing lol

Commander Virion we are an adult audience, we don't need that *beep* shit

It doesn't even censor the full sound. The word "shit" was drawn out for maybe five seconds, you still hear the full word even with that useless that quarter-second beep

Yeah for real. Like maybe mute the word instead of that obnoxious beep

They will get demonetized if they push it to far

If it actually hurts your ears the sound is clearly too high.

John P he won’t

UnrealPandas Maybe. Never know.

judging from the end of make happy, i really doubt that it's going to happen. it would be great if he did though.
