I do think its about how all people are all materialist and tries to build the intersectionality of privilege. The theme is, this is a person who is also trapped inside.
I took it a different way. The heartfelt message to her mum is the first part of the Instagram feed that's genuine - hence the aspect ratio widening. She's allowing herself to be vulnerable. But then as soon as the character starts listing off her achievements again the aspect ratio closes in, it's no longer genuine. But maybe this just says more about me and my relationship with social media 🤷🏻♂️
It took me many listens to catch that! But my girlfriend who is religious (im agnostic) and believes in afterlife, caught it the first time. Not sure why I found the need to share this, just found it interesting 😅
@@alex7941Oh, true. I took it as an indication that her father had died long before her mother had, when she was a small child, so she had little memory of him aside from things her mother had told her about her late father, but alternatively she could have been on worse terms with her father than with her mother when both passed around the same time. I never considered that until reading your comment!
@@bricabroccoli He starts by saying "It's been a decade since you've been gone". It's probably supposed to be a post for the anniversary for her mothers passing so it focuses on the her.
The way the lyrics are set up gives me the feeling that the POV character isn’t her, but rather some random person that found her Insta and decided to scroll through it. They’re skimming through, seeing all those images and rolling their eyes at them until they get to the mom photo. That’s the post they decide to select and read the caption of. It’s only when they bothered to take a closer look that they get a perspective shift, and when they go back to scrolling with that new context they see it all differently and they understand a little better.
I agree. First time hearing I thought oh she is like most seeking attention for no reason than just that attention. I've come to feel empathy for her. I assume from the visuals she lost both of her parents at 17. Either that or grew up without her dad as he died earlier in life. At 17 just when she thought her life was starting then also losing her mom. Imagine an orphan at 17 being asked are you ok over and over thru that time trying to show she was. That she was just like all the other girls her age. I hope she married had kids and realized she was in heaven with her family. She didn't need to prove it anymore.
One of the first lines is "a couple holding hands" and then in some of the lyrics and pictures from the middle of the song are describing and showing her decorating a house. "A coffee table made out of driftwood", the video of him covered in paint while painting a wall, him holding various decorations that she would potentially be putting in her house. I think that this song also describes her relationship developing from just casual dating to them moving in together to eventually a proposal with "and a ring on her finger from the person that she loves" Also I just cried a little at the realisation that she turned 27 during this song meaning she was only 17 when her mom died.
If this is from the perspective of somebody scrolling through someone's instagram, the first post would be the most recent, and it would go backwards in time from there. So the proposal was the earliest chronologically.
Yeah that’s what I always thought. This song is brilliant. It starts with what a stereotypical white woman would post, throwing shade at that while being funny before moving to this serious and somber reveal of character. Then you have the sprinklings of her relationship growing to marriage. Just a beautiful piece all together. As someone who lost their mom and that age it means a lot. I never watched the video until more recently to see the balloons but that makes it even sadder having lost both parents.
The fact that the frame widens the moment she mentions her mom is dead, and starts to close back in when her monologue starts to become superficial again. Feels like she's putting the mask back on.
i think saying it's a mask it's reductive i guess, more than that it's just showing the person behind the phone. She's being genuine about what she likes to post but Instagram isn't a blog is more of a supercut of people's lifes
@@josierosie21 I agree with this interpretation. It's taking intimate aspects of a person's life and personality and putting them in the context of a perfect lens to see through. Bo did really well with that one moment, showing how despite "thousands of the same thing" online behind each one of those personas is a real person with real values and issues like everyone else. The special is a really terrifying double-take on the current age of online social culture.
The part about mom and dad never fails to actually make me tear up. This song is hilarious and so sad at the same time, just like the whole special. These songs will forever be how I remember the pandemic, just genius.
I love that Bo tricks viewers into ONLY having sympathy for this hypothetical person _after_ the middle part of the song. While she's posting harmlessly happy pictures, she's a target for ridicule, but after she's an orphan, the tone of the viewers change. Almost like an episode of America's Got Talent lol. She's only relatable and worthy of people's understanding after we realize she's had to go through something terrible. I think it's clever that he makes fun of how superficial 'white women on Instagram' are, but also subtly exposes his entire RU-vid audience for being pretentious and unsympathetic.
It's a good reminder that while yes, a LOT of stuff on social media is a bunch of random whatever, it's also populated by PEOPLE, living their lives and experiences and sharing them. And sometimes, those moments and genuinely and sincerely worthy of saving and documenting. Because human life has sole moments worth showing the world, like a mirror held up to our own humanity
You know it's called a reframing device right? It's used everywhere in storytelling, even in real world geopolitics as such when they wanted to reframe Ukraine with corrupt leaders to one with a heroic one.
@@destinybarron8946 chill out. Nobody was asking for your life story. Sorry about your parents but I lost mine too and if you think guilting people in the RU-vid comments section is gonna do squat you are prolly the person this video was made about.
@@mariahpohl8040 no one is guilting anyone lol. At least I don't have a shitty attitude or outlook like yourself. I was just informing because people take things for granted, I know when it's my time I'll be back with them. So I'm not sure what your comment was for, what do you gain? I bet your parents would be proud honey 🤣
@@destinybarron8946 I'm sorry, but Mariah isn't the one with the shitty attitude... Get off your high horse and stop virtue signaling. If you want to share your experience, fine. You don't have to do it in such a nasty and self righteous way though.
the fact that half the comments are analyzing the meaning of the song and praising the artistry put into the video and the other half are Lord of the Rings quotes really shows how well Bo walks the line between comedy and serious introspective messages
I miss my mom so bad. It has literally been two decades since my mom has passed away. I was 13. I am getting married next month and this honestly hit me in the gut.
A half remembered "comedians" video about white womens instagram photos has you remembering your mothers death?? Fuck me, sounds like some introspective thought would do you well.
"It's amazing how the song can spend 35 lines just listing fairly silly instagram aesthetic picture subjects and then in 10 lines give us a suddenly intimate glimpse of a woman who lost both her parents, implicitly recontextualizing the rest of the video as her trying to focus on things that make her happy. That's just an amazing amount of talent at lyrical narrative." just putting a comment I like here so I don't have to scroll forever to find it again
The thing that I like to keep in mind though, is that only maybe 2-3 of those things listed have even the slightest judgement applied to them by the song itself. Everything else listed being seen as puerile, trivial and worth being mocked is just our societies (almost all societies around the world) biases and tendency to default to mocking anything young women are into in that way. Bo and the song itself is largely non-judgemental regarding most of the things listed, the mockery comes from inside us.
I don’t know, I perceive it as seeking others approval by following the most generic trends you find on IG. The one moment of actual realism is talking about missing her mom, but then after a moment of self-reflection it goes back to seeking the approval of others. It’s quite literally the problem of social media today.
Unfortunately that was the point of this project, seeing an already mentally ill man go literally insane and struggle to keep his head above water during the pandemic. The best “comedy special” there will ever be
being a musician and songwriter, the most hilarious part about this song is that I KNOW That hook was just BLARING in his head for like 2 weeks straight while he was trying to figure the rest out 😂😂
(Spoilers for Inside if anyone somehow hasn't seen it yet) Ikr? And considering the scene that takes place right after this song in the special where he's sitting in the dark watching the song with tired eyes, it WAS stuck in his head!!
This song really humbles you. You start off rolling your eyes if about all of the cliches, and then realize this is just a person who is going through life, just like you are. That they've experienced pain, and hardships and are just doing what they can to get by. You're not always privvy to what is going on behind closed doors in another persons life.
My parents passed away when I was a teenager, and I think I get something extremely different out of this song than everyone else. The triumphant melody isn’t an accident or just a cool hook. This is a power anthem to me I heard this song for the first time hanging out with my adoptive family, and it took everything I had to hold back an ugly cry for a few hours. I put in on a few more times at home, cried the worst cry I have had in years, but then it started kinda changing meaning for me. When you have hard, uncommon pain, people can’t relate. But they can relate to your joy. I’m a guy, but everything I have is like this girl. I have a bunch of career achievements that I almost feel guilty bragging about because I don’t wanna be one of those hustle-grindset kinda guys, but maybe I should brag a little more. Focusing on making a very difficult career happen is what gave me meaning through my teens and 20’s. I’m not famous but I have a job I enjoy, a good stable life, and a wonderful husband. I have everything my parents wanted for me and worked so hard to give me. I don’t think Bo Burnham is gonna read his 10 million youtube comments but jfc dude. I’m a professional musician, and this is the most powerful song I have ever experienced.
Maybe Bo won't read this, but I have., and from what I've read, you are doing something spectacular with what you were given. Also ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q-nd34iAK9Y.html
JFC dude, maybe a little more introspection and you wouldn't have had such a horrendous comment to make, (unless, of course you're posting this for clout, in which case where on your cranial cavity would you like the sharp end of this axe inserted? :::::))))))
I am so deeply proud of you friend, life has its high ups and soul crushing lows, but being able to say “I’m still alive” is the strongest and bravest 3 words a person can say, I wish you and your husband a wonderful future, and I from just this comment I can feel how proud of you your parents are
I thought this was a clever and funny take on stereotypical girl insta accounts, but then you realize that even the most mundane appearing people struggle and things like these is what makes them happy made me learn to let people have their fun with seemingly trivial things, if it makes them happy then its good and right
You crack me up! I’m imagining the clips of him leading the march onto Birmingham and shouting to the demonstrators when the cops start to get rough. I mean, I know that’s making light of one of the most horrific episodes in the history of race relations… …but… …I’ve got a sincerely fucked up sense of humor.
This song starts out like a commonplace mockery of women depicting them as superficial, dumb, boring, self-important, etc. Then it takes a surprising turn in the middle where it gets revealed that the "white woman" we laughed about is actually a three-dimensional human being who experiences pain and struggles too, and we realize that her Instagram, however unoriginal it is, is the record of her trying to live her life to the fullest.
It is not about women. 🥴 It is about narcissistic women bolstering their ego on instagram. 😆 Who the fuck says it is the same woman? 🤨 It a different level of stupidity but still stupidity. The great thing about his songs, you can read into it whatever you like, no matter who you are. From based chad to professional victim and feminazi. 😜
It’s still kind of hate. Hate for what it is doing. But then again, a lot is hated for this kind of stuff. Hell, right after this, Bo points the finger back at himself.
@@moonmoon2479 i mean...i am a white woman with an instagram and i didnt find anything hateful. It was kinda accurately funny 😂. He never said those were bad things
@@vickytsak2285 I think the point of the video is that much of a "White woman's Instagram" is superficial. The part where he talks about his dead mom and the aspect ratio breaks away from the Instagram ratio supports this. The video isn't hateful, but definitely a criticism, not of the women or people on Instagram, but of Instagram itself.
Most of the song is (kinda accurately) describing the stereotype of a basic white girl and the sometimes superficial/naive/pointless things they post, and that part reminds us that basic white girls are just.. people too. Maybe alongside posting superficial stuff on Internet they're also dealing with trauma. Maybe more than me or you have ever dealt with, and maybe they're doing a better job it at dealing with it. "Don;t judge a book by its cover" and all that jazz.
The tonal shift of "let's point out how basic people are and make fun of them" to "oh shit these are real people with complex histories and they maybe posting all this for validation they can no longer get from their parents" is phenomenal
But because you don’t have a checkmark next to your name your opinion doesn’t matter and won’t be publicized. Good work on being one of the few who understand it though.
@@Gormfork except that’s not it at all. He shows how it’s bullshit by shifting the aspect ration to “oh this is real” to “oops so close but no keep fishing for likes”
I read it more as how folks hide behind images of happiness and perfection on their social media while dealing with real feelings of loss or sadness that aren't allowed because they would break that facade. This is why I think these songs have so much depth, a lot to unpack there.
@@jerrytruckn I don’t think it’s bullshit. You are viewing this as someone scrolling through the girl’s feed. You get a glimpse into this persons struggles and then keep scrolling back to the basic posts. She’s not just posting the message for likes, it’s supposed to be taken as sincere, but as someone scrolling through an Instagram feed you are only getting snippets of this persons life not the whole picture.
Really fucked up how I nearly cried at the part about the dead mom because I put the song on and totally FORGOT that was part of it and I was NOT ready to confront my grief that morning.
As someone who has now lost both my parents by 35... this song hits way too fucking hard in the middle. We're all just trying so hard to find the joy and share it with others.
Maybe don't try to find the joy in a c list celebrities song? Maybe have some inward thoughts that are your own? No? Ok, can't expect the world over to understand simple concepts.
@antoniasinfield1762 yeah, I wasn't bothered it's clearly not about me. They didn't understand my comment anyway. I was saying how the character in the song is exemplifying how we're all trying to find the joy. She's grieving, but maybe the latte or the fall scene or whatever other small pleasure is just enough to get her through the day 🤗 Hope you found some joy today ❤️
there are so many parts of this that are beyond awesome. obviously the incredible songwriting, the relentlessly perfect frames. but there are also so many little details. i love the bridge and then the epic harmonies coming out of it into "goat cheese salad, back lit hammock". THEN the topper is the perfectly in-key church bells when he says "three little words, a couple of doves, a ring on her finger from the person that she loves". this song is a masterclass of don't judge a book by its cover.
Every few months I'll watch this for a chuckle, and every single time I forget about the bridge and need to sob for a while after it hits like a train. It maps onto me just about perfectly - I lost my mom at 21 (and my stepdad at 13), she was such a huge part of my life it took years to start to comprehend how to live without, and now I have an apartment, a fun job, and an incredible relationship, none of which she ever got to see. I don't personally believe either of them is still out there anywhere, but I miss them constantly, and I hope they're proud if they can be.
I love how the character in the song is like a real person who has turned 27, lost her parents at 17, and got married and like shit... I hope she lives her best life
Yes! I also kind of morbidly love how he says “is this heaven” as he’s pointing at the 27 balloons, which is a famous age to die at. Anyways yes I love how he starts by just mocking the “white woman” and her Instagram, and the listener laughs about the superficiality of the fictitious subject, and then Bo completely humanizes her as someone who is real beyond her IG and has gone through pain and lost both of her parents when she was young. She feels like a real person, probably because there are many real people like that out there. It’s a really powerful moment in an otherwise comedic song, and I love how the aspect ratio changes from IG aspect ratio when he gets real about talking to her deceased mom. It’s like it’s saying that these people we see and roll our eyes at and might think are self-obsessed are also real people with pain and heartache too. I also hope she lives her best life!
@@Monique.Marceline That’s the beauty of this song. It criticizes how basic white girl Instagram pages are cliche, fake, and entirely doctored to try and show a perfect life. There’s very little truth behind those kinds of pages. That said, there is a person there, so the people who do nothing but spew hate about basic bitches on Instagram and actively attack the people who do it need to realize that the ones they are attacking are real people with real lives, real issues, and real pain. I personally have been guilty of this. I’ve criticized basic white girls on Instagram, and been fairly hostile at points because I saw the people AS the accounts. This song helped me realize that my actions may have seriously hurt some people. Bo showed me a different point of view with this song, and I hope to become a better person because of it. I still think those accounts are fake, unoriginal, and awful, but I am trying to no longer think of the people behind them as such.
Bro I’m so Anti social media. I didn’t even get those humanizing messages I thought she was just bragging about her success to her parents she’s to ‘busy’ to visit anymore but now I feel like the asshole 😔
Okay, okay, I'm down in the comments to see how people are talking about the emotional part of the song, tearing up a bit and peoples stories, then this. Take my like
Me and my mom were going go visit my Grandma in hospice, and I was playing music over the radio cus it's a long drive. This song came up, and my mom was listening along, growing slightly annoyed at all the "generic" stuff Bo Burnham was making fun of. I didn't even think before the final verse kicked in, and before I knew it my mom was crying. So uh... congrats Bo, you wrote that part so well that someone very close to that situation emphasized so much she began to cry.
Nah, he shredded the omnipresent vibe of all the instagrams. I think it’s funny and kinda on it. The quote thing is really true I see that all the time.
Absolutely love that as our perspective of the person changes, the camera widens to signify the importance of it, as it literally broadens our perspective on who they are.
I think it's really beautiful that although this woman has a lot of sadness inside of her, she still finds joy in her instagram posts. It teaches us that our criticisms aren't always justified, and sometimes things that seem stupid to others can be really important to someone else.
The whole "Inside" album is fire. He accomplished to pull a ton of puns about people, without belittling them. The perfect mix between laughter, sorrow and madness.
this song really fits the part of being in a musical about quarantine, we spend so much time judging people for the things they post and being so vain as to mock them for being basic. This song really made me sit back and realize that everyone is a person with countless emotions and feelings with stories I've never heard... its beautiful
He is a film maker, after all. I think he understood that a while ago. His vision is exceptional, so I’m not surprised he can achieve spectacle in this way.
@@nickhopwood4233 I sort of see it that way too, but more of just an interesting juxtaposition of a very personal and very real life post on a platform that’s otherwise full of inane clichés and kitschy pictures. It’s maybe less of a trope and more of just something you will find on pretty much every social media platform - that juxtaposition.
@@nickhopwood4233 it definitely is. That’s the weirdest part of the whole concept of the industrial movement that instagram has become. Women sell this idea of their lives, occasionally pause to show a real moment of a real life, and then resume the image they’re working to maintain. I have friends who plan their life choices around the posts they’re going to make. Weddings are centered around Instagram aesthetics. Average people have 10k followers for what? They don’t know you. They never knew your mom. So of course you’re not going to open your heart to thousands of strangers. Not if you’re really hurting in that exact moment. Not honestly. Few things sting like being honest and thousands of people rejecting you for it by scrolling past. So you go back to goat cheese salad. You know?
@@Scribe13013 Seriously. Get these pros off the board. No wonder Bo acts the way he does + a litany of other mental health issues. Of which I'm very sympathetic, as we suffer nearly identical types of anxieties, it would seem.
The fact how this song starts as a joke and then shows the depth behind someone that you don't see. Burnham does such a great job at making jokes but making you think and telling the truth that so many people refuse to believe. Honestly one of the greatest artist's of our time.
The balloons @ 1:47 also give an indication that the white woman who operates the Instagram in question is not much older than 27. We can infer that her mom died when she was 17-ish, on the cusp of adulthood and the new challenges and triumphs that come with it. The second half of the song could be interpreted as an indictment of people (like me) who scoff and jeer at the stereotypical "white woman's Instagram" as being created by someone who is vapid and soulless. The content certainly gives the indication of those things but it's a leap to assume that the person behind the account is entirely captured by this representation. Social media allows us to expand the facade of how we present ourselves to others to include idealized moments and constructed situations, leading observers to assume that our entire life is charmed and easy. However, it's important to remember that this facade is a lie we tell to other people, not only for our own benefit, but for the comfort of others. How often do we not disclose our thoughts to avoid people getting "weirded out", feeling depressed, misinterpreting our words, or shading their view of us with their own meaning? This cliche of a "white woman's Instagram" might be a reflection of our own expectations for what a "white woman" should be. Attractive but not beautiful ("fake"/"plastic"). Well-read but not smart ("bossy"/"a bitch"). Aware but not too "woke" ("bleeding heart"/"SJW"). Happy but sad enough to be relatable ("a mess"/"falling a part"). Quirky but not esoteric ("weirdo"). It's less about avoiding the criticism of others and more about avoiding criticism from the internalized "other", the super ego. But Bo says all that in four minutes six seconds so he definitely wins.
haha hes taking the piss about a girl posting a message to her dead mother on instagram. shes putting it on instagram to look for attention and is actually just bragging about her life to her followers if you listen to the words.like why would she write a message to her on instagram!? haha Bo is a genius. he captures all the Instagram vullshit perfectly in that song.

This song makes me cry. My mom had a Pinterest and always filled it with cute images.. but she had a really rough life and she was always so brave.. and it just so happens i try to be optimistic and a light in the dark too.. but now she's gone and its so much harder to be that way now. I can't hide the pain like she could. I miss her so much.
Grief is normal, and it's healthy to process that grief. Unfortunately, some people might have more or less flexibility in how they are able to process their grief, but try not to let the hardships of life prevent you from doing what's best for you. Easier said than done, of course.. but do it on your terms.
The rest of the line ("...a couple of doves, and a ring on her finger from the person that she loves") makes me think it's actually "Yes I do" with the implications of her getting married.
Let us also appreciate that when she starts talking about her mom - the frame literally expands from a narrow view to a more full, broad one of her rather than the instagram phone ratio the rest of the video is shot in
I like how the song almost calls us out for being judgmental of a person we don’t know. I think I needed a reminder of everyone’s humanity sometimes to keep me from being a bitter old hater. Amazing song.
This Comment is stolen from his Kanye rant and What does that to do with this video? This video is comedy not the heartbreaking stuff like the other songs
@@chuck4332 it does get kinda deep in the middle when he talks about the white lady posting about her mom. im not very good at explaining but other people in the replies to some comments worded it really well
The images in the video are all so damn precise, but wow he *NAILED* 1:27… the coat with the fake fur fringe, the over-exposure already against a white background, the expression especially the eyes & how they seem to be colored *extra* bright… just perfect. I remember every girl either having or wanting a photo like that in the early to mid 2010s especially & at one point I was forced into position of photographer to take such photos for a precious friend who definitely had a White Woman’s Facebook, including the dedication to her mum- not as she died but as her mum inspired (i.e. *forced* her) her degree in gynecology…. :/ fun…
I like that the song's lyrics are only literal descriptions of Instagram posts - the most narrative commentary is the chorus and the shots of the music video. it invites interpretation, but it also makes you conscious that the interpretation you give it says more about you than it does about the song.
@@hidefdad6318 , quit trying to act like what you said made sense, it's embarrassing. Replying "that's how cinematography works" to the original comment is just dumb. If you just wanted to make the case that the specific shots here are simple, then you should have just started with that, not some odd conflation between cinematography, in general, and specifically solo projects. Whether you want you want to belittle it or condescend to people who are impressed by it, it was still a _very_ effective job of using "incredibly simple" shots to convey a message. "lol"
@@hidefdad6318 , thing is, your initial reply makes _you_ the one that felt somehow triggered by benign subjective praise. Why? Why was it that when you read the comment you felt compelled to take their image down a peg by inserting your own awkwardly presented subjectivity? And, yeah, it's still laughable to hear you try to make sense of your own thoughtless words, because you're still not comprehending that it's the compilation and execution being praised by most commenters here, not high technical skill, nor are you understanding how broad the term "cinematography" actually is, and how unfit your use of it was. I call dumb as I see it, my guy.

Damm I always get choked up at the dead parents thing just reminds me how my parents aren't always going to be around, and i can't imagine that kind of grief and heartbreak.
@@stanleyburke3533 well he wasn't exactly saying we should cut it down, all he did was raising attention around what the internet is doing, but that one specific scene from the special he says maybe its a bad idea.
this song reminds me a lot of my mom. she isn’t white but she does love taking pictures of literally anything (especially food lol) and often posts them on social media. she also lost her mom when she was still pretty young, in her case, she was 7 when she lost her mom, and she occasionally talks to me about how she wishes she still had a mom. while i’m not exactly saying she takes pictures and posts them on social media as a coping mechanism for the loss of her mom, i think it definitely eases the pain a little, especially considering that our family is all she has. she has friends and other relatives too but we’re definitely her priority so especially when i listen to 2:18, i can’t help but think of her and when she talks about how she misses her mom,,,,
@@walnutyuh6456 my roommate explained it to me in the sense that its because he went as far to recreate all of the shots himself and put himself in the frame of the "generic white woman". If he hadn't, and just sang the song it would have had a different effect. Idk that's how they explained it to me.
Yo man your stuff is super hilarious. But this damn song always makes me cry. Thanks tho-I listen to it when I need to have a good emotional release. I always feel so much love afterwards. Keep on Rockin broskie.
