It's important to know this was the last thing he did live before he quit for 5 years because he couldn't take the pressure anymore. Also the burrito thing was his way of saying he put too many things on his plate and everything "overspilled" into depression.
Ugh this makes me love it even more! I love how honest and vulnerable he was, regardless of how he was feeling. He makes it so easy for the audience to connect. That's art right there
@@jodyandamanda much of this is a “rant” for a reason. Kanye ranted about nonsense and then the conversation heated up with serious issues, just as Bo did here. This was his last performance before he took a 5yr hiatus to mentally recover. Which came his AMAZING Netflix special and then All eyes on Me is about his anxiety etc
@@ChristmasPterodactyl it wasn't a metaphor, but if you listen to him talking about wouldn't have got half of it, it's really good foreshadowing for what happens when shit gets real
I love how happy and giggly Amanda was about this one and then at 8:06 you can see the exact moment Bo gives you the feels. Great reaction to this and cannot wait to see more.
He later said in an interview that he immediately walked backstage after this performance and had a complete breakdown. Like sobbing and all. His anxiety was through the ROOF
Bo's formula for his style is great. He hits you with the silly stuff and by the time the end rolls around you feel like he reached in and grabbed your soul.
11:29 "This is the last video we're making" "If you can live your life without an audience you should do it" - Bo Burnham (in the bit just before this).
Great reaction. The burrito section wasn’t just silly it was a metaphor for his own fame overwhelming him and bursting at the seams. He wouldn’t have got the money and fame and pressure if he know it wouldn’t fit… listen again and think of all his subliminal messaging throughout the song and it’s even more heartbreaking…
I have to give you 2 props. I can't express enough gratitude to y'all, because you watched that entire video and not only did you not pause multiple times, but you hardly said more than a few quiet words during the video. Opting to save your comments till after the video ends. That is so damn refreshing. I can't stand when other people pause at like the exact wrong moments. And then most will rewind it a bit, having to re-watch half the damn video. So much of the momentum of a video often comes down to timing and tempo. And the constant pauses and mid video rants, will more often than not, takes all the wind out of the sails.
@@jodyandamanda Your welcome. Funny thing is, i just made a comment on another reaction channel, where unfortunately they did tend to pause for long periods. And after suggesting that it takes away from the video they're reacting to, and maybe minimize the pauses. They responded that to do so would compromise their integrity and honesty, and the way they do it is just what they do. Which I responded with......"WHAT????!!" Actually it was much longer than that, but you get the point. It made no sense to suggest that putting comments after the video would compromise anything like that. Anyways, thanks again.
Such a great track. Y’all are adorable. Liked and Subscribed for more Bo content! Someone else commented that this was Bo’s last performance before quitting comedy. It was and he was having panic attacks throughout the whole show. You can see him try and calm himself down when he goes into the final section. It’s heart wrenching to realize what he’s going through in that moment. Right at the tail end you can see him shaking before the final yell. He broke down backstage and cried for 2 hours. If y’all get a chance you should react to “are you happy?”. It’s a separate song he filmed and put right after the Kanye Rant in the special and is a beautiful farewell. Cheers!
Now you guys need to watch "all eyes on me" from inside. It's like the sister piece to this one. This is when he left, "all eyes on me" is what happened when he wanted to come back
Your Yorkie looks just like my Yorkie, but with the tail still. My sleep deprived self was momentarily very confused. Also this was his last special before he stepped away for 5 years. So it goes from this song...to Inside.
The Burrito is a metaphor for fame. He wouldn't have got half of it, if he had have known what he had to give up and the anxiety that it would bring...
This is super late but I just want to point out that Bo has said himself that it didn't actually mean anything deep. It's meant to be superficial. The metaphor just so happens to work here though.
I said it in your last Bo reaction and I'll say it again, "you start out laughing at first the first time you hear it, and end up trying not to cry"...
I love the Kanye Rant, but it always makes me feel almost guilty to watch it. It's an inevitable thing, there's no way for someone to have such a public performance and not have pressure put on them by the audience.
I don't really feel guilty because I only learned about Bo after he took the break. So, the way I see it, I'm not one of the fans contributing to that pressure that he's talking about.
