PROLONGED EYE CONTACT

can we appreciate that Justin Bieber was in the audience and had to awkwardly sit through repeat stuff knowing that the song is directly dissing him and mentioned him by name at the start of it

i'm still convinced that his "prolonged eye contact" was an example of how everyone stares at him when hes performing.

He doesn't say a word (into the mic) for the first seven minutes and it's still the most entertaining performance I've ever seen.

*rips off pants to show same pair of identical pants*

"I saw a boy with red hair" So brave.

Bo burnham in 2013: Im going to release a special for free and make it actually good Bo burnham in 2021: Im going to release a special and create it by myself with no help This dude is a legend

"A World On Fire" is the best song in the entire show and nobody can tell me otherwise

imagine being the person in the prolonged eye contact bit

Top 10 Best Songs of Bo Burnham 10. You 9. Can't 8. Rank 7. Bo Burnham 6. Songs 5. Because 4. They're 3. Equally 2. Awesome 1. A World On Fire

"We think we know you" is honestly my favorite song by bo. He is basically flipping off all of the people who hate on his music in just one song and made it sound absolutely fantastic. Props to you Bo, I loved what.

"They can be skinny with big tits, or be skinny with small ones" was totally missed by the audience lmao

"A depressed onion cutting itself" There are so many layers to that joke

I wonder how that video editing joke worked live.

“Maybe God does not believe in you” Hits so damn hard even 9 years later.

All of Bo’s specials hit different post “Inside.” So much subtext and sadness that I never truly realized. He was honest and open, and it went over a lot of our heads as edgy snark or sarcasm.

That video editing joke was fucking phenomenal.

The part were the video editor edits out the video editor joke is hilarious

Some sketches are a bit rough around the edges, but man, when he nails it he really fucking nails it. From this show alone we have got amazing things such as "Left Brain Right Brain", "From God's Perspective", "Repeat Stuff" and "We Think We Know You".

"We think we know you" absolute masterpiece. Bo has never failed to make me happy. Thank you, Bo Burnham.

"BIT OLD FOR MY TASTE," said Rodger. "Classic Rodger."

Honestly how meta is this guy He made a joke about video editors in order to have that part cut out so it would only be funny to the people watching online like what

I've noticed that in some of Bo's songs, it'll be a lot of what he usually writes, but then somewhere towards the end of the song he'll hit you with a very deep lyric.

He is absolutely brilliant. I mean, great comedian, actor and incredible musician at the same time!

Thumbs up for Bo's totally empty notebook.

I swear popular humor in 2020 is based entirely on this sketch.

Thanks for keeping this up after all these years, Bo! Since Netflix has removed what., this is now the ONLY place to watch your incredible special 😥

"You used to do comedy when you felt like being funny, but now you're contractually obligated" That hits hard.

All jokes aside, he's really good at the piano

"If you want love then the loves gotta come from you" Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck bro.

The intro hits harder after the literal 5 year gap between make happy and inside. Love what you do Bo, keep getting better, I know you definitely will never see this, but if you happen to, I hope you’re doing well

"Probably should've ended it on a higher note." Best pun all show and no one laughed?!

How has no one talked about how this absolute *legend* put this up with no ad rolls and with no cost for everyone's enjoyment?

talking about having a great memory

p r o l o n g e d e y e c o n t a c t

"I AM SATAN LORD OF DARKNESS" *crowd cheers louder*

Bo Burnham's website has a question when you click on it asking if you're happy or not and if you click no you get directed to his dogs blog fulled with pictures of his beautiful pup and it's just so perfect

This, my friend, is a comedic masterpiece. It's more than just comedy, and I cant imagine how you did it, but it's clear you put a tremendous amount of effort into it. This is easily one of the best hours I've ever seen. You may never read this, but know that youre still gaining fans from this special. It was truly an experience. Thank you, Bo.

Every single year since this special came out, I've watched it during new years. I'd start watching around 11:30pm, and would reign in the new year, midway through this special. Tonight will be no different. Bo Burnham is amazing and this show is one of the best comedy shows to date

14:14 “I’ve got a really good joke about video editors” *the video cuts* Genius 👌

Right Brain: I love you Left Brain: I know This is genius

I just realised how the show starts with someone making presumptions and ends with a song about almost the same thing. "We think we know you."

"Left Brain, Right Brain" is one of if not the quintessential BB song. It drives right to the heart, conceptually, lyrically and melodically. But 10 years after this was released I have a new appreciation and perspective on it. I always thought the "Comedy" conclusion was just a way to land the plane and wrap up the song, or maybe that he created the song as a way to articulate his twisted relationship with comedy. For me, someone who is an artist and STILL figuring out what I want to do with my life, this song really hits home because for every one of life's struggles comes with blaming yourself for either being too analytical or too emotional. What the song means to me now is that it's not about blaming one side of the brain vs the other, it's about finding your thing in life that allows for the best balance between the two. Comedy was Bo's thing. I hope you've found yours or are working on it. I can't wait to see what mine is.

a world on fire was a masterpiece.

Bo Burnham can honestly write one of the deepest song if he tried making a serious song.

I've watched Bo since I was 12... I am 26 years old in 7 days and I couldn't be happier with one of my favourite comedians pieces of art. This is a classic to me. Thank you Robert.

Cant get enough of the "Welcome to the show, this is Bo, this is his show"-part

this comment section can be used as subtitles

the fact that bo started this show with a mouth full of water, 2 pockets full of glitter, a set of cards, and 3 pants on really speaks to me

23:51 audience: **laughter** Left Brain: _AT LEAST I DID MY FUCKIN JOB_ audience: 😶

14:12 to 14:16 had me giggling for the rest of the show. Thank you for everything you do for us. Incredibly entertaining show!

His humor is so god damn unique. And he made his whole show free! What a fucking legend.

Hey that gunshot perfectly lined up with my neighbors screaming! Wait

I know you definitely won’t see this but just in case - since WHAT is leaving Netflix soon is there any chance you could have ACTUAL accurate subtitles added to this? Your hard of hearing and deaf fans would be forever in your debt. (Thanks again for the accurate subtitles for the outtakes! You’re a gem).

god, I love coming back to this every once in a while, If I hadn't ever seen this don't think I'd be alive now, thank you mr boburnham.

We need a mug with the entire script of this show on it.

the fact that he had to perform with water in his mouth until 2:30 keeps me up at night sometimes

i come back to this when i randomly remember it every year and it’s the best. never fails to make me happy. bo burnham is amazing and will be remembered

10 years later still one of my favorite stand ups out there

"I am going to watch only the opening part", one hour later " Mr Burnham ".

The left brain/right brain skit has gotta be one of the most well executed and creative bits of all time... 👀

The ending bit was amazing. Extremely creative.

If only we could all be so lucky to know Mr. Burnham.

Not gonna lie, I probably laughed hardest in this when he just screamed “AND THEY SHIT ON THE BIBLE” watched this show so many times now it’s unreal.

"A World on Fire" is by far his deepest song.

I'm from Spain and started watching his content when I was 14, back when I didn't speak English and I couldn't watch this beacuse it doesn't have subtitles. I'm 20 now and fluent, and finally whatching this is so special and emotional to me. Thanks Bo for making comedy that makes me laugh over and over through the years, thanks for not falling on the mainstream and always trying to give us something to think on top of the comedy, you will always be one of my all time favourite artists.

you can really see the roots of his comedy, it's very rough, all over the place but his stage personality and style are seeping through the world has changed and so has he, for better and for worse

"-And they SHIT ON THE BIBLE."---- that never fails to get me every time

after a good eight years i still can't believe this guy sucked that damn mic

I love how he just has the super intense yelling and aggressive jokes then immediately goes into a calm/normal voice without laughing. I can’t- 😂

Bo, I found you very late but i just wanna to say, you blown my mind. Thank you❤ All the best from Poland, I hope you’re ok.

I didn't think I was gonna watch the whole thing, but I did. This show was utterly brilliant .-.

"He isolated himself for 5 years in the pursuit of comedy". Damn, that aged weird.

He put his full show on KZfaq for everyone to watch ? When he could have sold it as a DVD ? This guy is truly amazing

First time watching this special. Everyone talks about the jokes, as they should, but I don't see nearly enough recognition for "left brain, right brain" or "We think we know you", as an artist, even more so a musician, to see his passion and knowing he's actually pretty introverted when he leaves the stage really hits, the way he addresses criticism and the people who hate on his stuff gets me in a way that many "serious" forms of expression haven't gotten me in a long time. the way he ends in such a dramatic but real way makes this special all the better. This was my first time giving Bo's stuff a try and I can't wait for when I have time to watch more. really looking forward to watching Inside next.

Let’s just think about the fact that this man is 6’5”.

No one really talks about how his whole career is based off making his mental illnesses pay tent for brain space

“A fairy so beautiful that he was proud about being called one in highschool” hits different

rewatching this for the first time in ages- WHAT A MFING LEGENDDD

the amount of times in the day when i’ll think “NEVER WASTE A MOMENT, EVERY MOMENT CAN BECOME A COMEDIC MOMENT” still surprises me.

Bo: it’s hard to be a liizzzaaaarrrd Victim: WHY IS HE SINGING!?!!?

Watching it again after so long and I still get goosebumps

After years of listening to bo I only now realized that “hello patient 24602” at 20:05 is a reference to les miserables where the prisoners number is 24601.

"I met a homeless man named rich.." ISN'T THAT I-R-O-N-I-C-

"The world is so sad bros" Random guy in the audience: WOO!

Happy 10 year anniversary to this amazing show! I literally had to wake up at 12:00 in the morning to comment this and watch the show whilst trying not to fall asleep. worth ittttt

Bo was 22 when this was filmed. Bruh I'm about to turn 23 and I'm no where near the length of prolonged eye contact he was at my age

Nobody seems to be talking about just how ballsy it was to include bits where he purposefully messed up. If he had legitimately knocked over his water, hit a wrong note, or so much as been slightly off from his timing before or after the jokes were used, he would've looked foolish and arrogant for trying to pull off this self-aware humor. I can't imagine how much practice and rehearsal this must have taken to pull of so seamlessly (like some of the multitasking... what?).

happy birthday what.

There was a period in my life where I would toss this on and play world of Warcraft every single morning for the better part of 4 months. Still just an incredible work of art.

what if the whole show was just prolonged eye contact

I am disappointed that there aren’t more people in the comments praising the amount of pure, raw talent it would take to rehearse and perform this. Like all of the theatrical, musical, lighting, and comedic cues that Bo 100% nails. The entire show. Does not miss a single beat. FOR A WHOLE. FUCKING. HOUR. The amount of dedication it takes to perform this is next level. We never deserved this then and we still now, but goddamn is it beautiful to watch

Incredible, I'm speechless and I can't realize the level of talent that he had at 23 years old. This show is a piece of art

this man was and still is the best fucking comedian to ever comedy

2:43 I like to imagine that when buying seats for the show one was mysteriously called "PROLONGED EYE CONTACT" and it was twice the price of any other front-row seat

waiting for 10 years by bo burnham

I just think during the right brain and left brain when right brain says “no right brain I’m just being alive, you should try it, you might like it” I think that’s such a great message to say and rlly inspirational tbh I love it and love this show

"Me, with my strange use of adjectives. You, with your muscular teeth and clockwise vagina." That was the hardest I've laughed in a long time.
