+Krystal Fox Actually this song is more against the hypocrisy of Catholics and how they believe they should worship or how God is. It doesn't really attack the Bible directly, but I understand why someone would believe that.
2:50 “Winos at the Eucharist station, transgendered substantiation.” For those of you that don’t know the process in which the priest turns the bread into the body of Christ is called Transubstantiation. Substantiation also means to prove something with evidence. That is some next level word play right there. Bo Burnham is a goddamn genius.
Looona Mooon wino is a term for an alcoholic, specifically someone who drinks a lot of wine. the "eucharist station" is referring to the eucharist, which is the ceremony where they commemorate the last supper by drinking wine and eating bread.
Just saying, when he says "I think I can vaguely see what he meant" I laughed at first, but then I remembered that I ask my mum what some parts of the Bible meant and she didn't know. I don't ask anymore.
The most accurate part of the song is how modern Christians just mumble uncomfortably as they explain away those parts of the Bible where God *literally* explains the logistics of buying and selling slaves; they just squirm and wince and say, “something something Old Testament?... um, Jesus was different, because he was, like... all about... love and stuff? It’s, like, a metaphor or something???”
@Hungpa Big man I hate participating in religious debates so this is going to be my only comment but I’d just like to say: God is wrathful, vengeful, and mocks us, but he’s good? I sense a contradiction.
@Hungpa Big man If god is all powerful, why tf couldn't he just not kill himself and... you know forgive without blood sacrifice Like humans do... everyday For a god that is incomprehensibly good, smart and powerful he sure is a fucking idiot. Not to mention that he chose to communicate through the MOST vulnerable to interpretation method of communication ever invented, writing

This is kind of a vent song for me. I went to catholic school from kindergarten through 6th grade and my last few years there were hell. I tried to hold on to religion after I came out as transgender, but the “loving” religion was full of people who made me resent it. I’m atheist now and while I’m not mentally the best, I’m pretty sure I would be dead if I stayed within that community.
I'm transgender too as well as bisexual. I never believed in god myself but I came from a Christian family and it was horrid coming out. My own mom referred to me as a d*ke and said maybe there was pills to fix me. That she was worried about me going to h*ll. Pushed me deep into atheism, lol. According to science we are all beautiful beings of nature the way we are, according to religion we are all sinners and need to change to be truly loved.
"In the name of the father, son and holy ghost. Head, shoulders, knees and toes..." omg did not just go there "Turn up your nose, strike that pose..." no, he did not just turn this into the macarena "HEEY MACARENA" okay, I love him.
We had an assembly to raise the schools "spirit" and we all had to dance. the macarena came on and I stood in the back doing head shoulders knees and toes. And then I prayed that no one saw me acting ridiculous.
I hate how no one reacts to the line: debra messing's fingers in a holy place, "hail mary full of grace." In all versions of this song, even since the UMBC performance
***** Debra Messing is an actress who was the character Grace on a popular TV show called Will & Grace, it ran from like the late '90s to mid 2000s. He is talking about how she is fingering herself.
I have copious amounts of religious trauma. And this song describes it. The church never answered my questions and instead told me I was going to hell for asking questions about holes in their stories. They would always knit pick things from a certain line in a certain chapter but refuse us context.
@@renderedobsolete everybody says "you must have gone to a bad church" not realizing that literally every church I've ever attended would do this exact thing.
I had one preacher in my life who wasn't like this at all... And then they fired him 😭😭😭 Replaced him with someone much worse who was pretty much what the song is talking about

You just have the small earphones you put IN your ears. then you make the cord go over your back not your front. have you phone/iPod next to you. P.S. Read carefully and you'll pull it off, I do...
My grandma used to blackmail into going to church so before I said fuck it I'm not going I used to play on my phone, listen to stuff, read stuff. Basically whatever.
I relate a lot to the lyric "Thank you for making me rich and white". I'm a Christian from a poorer area, our neighbours are Christians from Nigeria, both our families can feel kinda excluded in our own church sometimes because it's set up for middle-to-upper-class families who've never felt hungry, never had to pick what essentials to buy (food or new shoes because the old ones have fallen apart? Or new clothes for the kids because theirs are beyond repair?) and never felt scared for their homes before. We want to change the church to help more people like us - there are plenty of churches for the upper class citizen - but the church leaders are happy with how it's currently run and don't want to change it.
In case you are wondering whether God actually said it was okay to buy slaves, take a gander at Leviticus 25:44-46. I'll quote from the NIV Bible: "44 Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. 45 You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. 46 You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly."
(please keep in mind that this is just my opinion but/ Lessons like allowing prostitution and slavery? Honestly I think the old testament should be ruled out by now because too many people take it's words by heart even though the new testament wrings out it's importance.
I think Bo should expand from simply comedy I would love to hear his religous stand point as well as explanations for things. He's obviously a very smart person.
+et I'm not too sure about that, in his song "From god's perspective." he's more about acceptance. He seems to be under the belief we all argue too much, and should instead focus on making our time here enjoyable.
So here we have a kid, who went to a christian school, and his odd teenage rebellious hormones decided to make him a bad-ass comedic lyrically intelligent atheist? I love it.
Damn white Christians really don't joke :/ -signed by a Muslim arabic who showed From God's perspective to my mom and she laughted and said she had to admit that he's good
@@shizzle1690 he stopped doing stand up because his mental health was declining dud to it. He decided to direct in movies instead but I've seen ppl saying he wants to get back into comedy but just doesn't know how
Damn he didn't hold back on this one. I was raised in the church and about 3 years ago I realized that i didn't believe in any of it. Still have yet to tell my parents though. xD
i told my mom straight up and stuff and she cried. I'm not sorry. Listen, bro, if your parents do something terrible cause you wont believe, that's their fault and they have to live with themselves. trust me it should be fine. If your parents are half decent people.
+Dan Monio I started out slowly. Went from saying "I think I'm agnostic" to "I am agnostic" to "I'm an atheist". I think warming my mom up to the idea over a few years made her more ok with it, even though she's pretty religious. Trying to explain why you're an atheist to die hard religious people is pointless. They have to realize it for themselves.
Deborah Messing's fingers in a holy place - Hail Mary full of Grace. I just NOW got that. I've seen this video and listened to this probably 100 times. Brilliant.
As a Christian who still can’t believe how disturbingly cultist and hateful a lot of Christians are, I highly appreciate his lyrics and criticisms on Christianity.

"Debra Messing's fingers in a holy place, hail Mary full of grace" Debra played grace in will and grace... so her fingers in a holy place... she's full of grace.... it took me so long to put that together...
Well to be fair he sat down and wrote this, it probably took him quite a while. There's no denying he's talented but you can't really compare him to the more talented rappers, who do this stuff off the top of their head.
@Hungpa Big man what? If I read the 3 little pigs, I don’t think that a wolf is going to blow my house over in a couple minutes, so why should the Bible be any different
@Hungpa Big man No, there is no evidence of a world ending flood and the ONLY account of anything from Jesus' time about his divine nature is the new testament which was written DECADES afterwards
@Hungpa Big man yes Plato exists in the account of a philosophers book, Jesus exists in a book that claims to be written by an omnipotent omniscient omnibenevolent being
@Hungpa Big man You might say that his commandments are moral yet he actively wants many of his followers to slaughter cities in the bible. The ten commandments ONLY apply to other Israelites
@Hungpa Big man Did you miss the part where God commanded his followers to slaughter entire cities except for the virgin women, who were to be the soldiers sex slaves?
Psycoholic2008 You gotta appreciate the sweet vanilla scented irony there though, implying the OP was an unoriginal comment while at the same time being an unoriginal comment. Hell at least the quoted part varies video to video whereas the "omg its almost like we watched the same video" is always identical.
It's 2021, a family member in my household has been becoming more and more religious by the day, reading what he can and talking to whoever he can find on the internet who can agree with his opinion. He's tried telling other members of my household how to act and think and behave. He hasn't gotten to me yet, but he heard me blasting this song from the shower just hours ago today. He asked what it was and I gave him the name of the song that played after Rant in fear of being yelled at or harrassed or something else. I want to move out so bad. This is me screaming into the void, I'm sure it'll be fine but I've been panicking all day and I'm afraid to face him.
Something really important I realized as and adult is that no one is inherently smarter (or better) than someone else. As a disabled female introvert raised Catholic in America, I believed for years that people older, richer,and seemingly more important than me were right whenever I was in doubt. That’s so far from being true. From old conservatives making fun of non-binary teens on TikTok to judges in favor of prosecuting people who’ve experienced miscarriages, this is proof that wisdom doesn’t come with age. We can’t control most things, but that doesn’t mean we have to accept them.
This song literally has said everything I feel I need to say. Ever since a young age, I have been forced into religion, and told I would never be respected or loved if I sinned. It was so toxic. I’m still not out if that position, but I won’t give in 💞💞
Okay, so it's "all the seats in the sunday masses filled with the mass's massive asses" but i always thought it was "all the seats in the sunday masses filled with the mass's mass of asses".... that's pretty funny that when he's showing how one word can be used multiple ways, the verse can also be taken multiple ways
Thank you, oh great lords of the CZcams Algorithms, for bringing me here to witness this great rap. How have I lived so long without this genius on my ipod?
"Debra Messing's fingers in a holy place, hail Mary full of Grace" cracks me up every time. I don't know why it doesn't get more laughs it's such a clever line.
BaconMan In the only way that counts: observationally. There have been several studies on prayer's effectiveness, and in every one, it's as effective as a placebo. In other words, taking a sugar pill helps sick people as much as praying does, without the need to worship an idea.
***** Because people ascribe more power to it than it has. Yes, the placebo effect is real, but no, it can't cure most diseases or injuries or disasters. When people think their prayers are helping others, they tend to do less actual helping and tend to seek less actual help. What people believe doesn't affect me personally and directly and instantly, but so what? I live as a social animal in a society full of people who ARE affected by it. And I AM affected by the things that affect societal progress, which religious beliefs hinder. If you can't see why people believing evolution is fake and the null hypothesis isn't important and prayers work and morality is absolute is harmful to everyone in that society, then you're not looking at the bigger picture. Zoom out of the focus on the individual and look at the society as a whole.
He really went from "Jesus wasn't the Messiah - get back I'm a heretic and I'm on fire" to "Head, shoulders, knees and toes, HEY MACARENA!" In 20 seconds.
We have this thing called 'Christian Ethics', which is essentially where they shove Catholic beliefs down our throats in hope that they can brainwash into believing and fully and unconditionally supporting a corrupt system. Not sying Christianity is bad, no religion REALLY is, but it's the corrupt people abusing their followers and their power over them to spread hate and intolerance.
@@communistsharks6889 I agree. Religion isn't the problem is the way bad persons use it to gain power and make a corrupted systems that gain then still work. And when you don't fit the mold they tattoo you with the heretic sign on your name. And the sheeps keep crying. And follow. Somehow, I ain't Christian (Muslim) but I one of the things I saw on the... Idk bible ?, that we are lost sheep. Jesus is goddamn right we are. Since we let thoses ppls guide us we must be really really lost.
'Oedipus, the holy mother-fucking christ'- is literally he best line ever'. Mythological puns are great, but in such a flowing format... also 'Christ has risen'
@Hungpa Big man It's the stereotypical image, something that tends to be mocked because it is just a stereotype. This is poking at the people who don't full understand religion. God didn't die for us btw. It is said Jesus did, who is not God. Simply saying 'God is real' doesn't make him real for everyone my friend. Sin is real because life exists, not because of a divine creator. You pick up on certain aspects of that anyway, but you mistake Jesus and God. Also, Leviticus 45 and slaves? Do you plan to ignore that?
@Hungpa Big man Religion is a kind of ignorance. If it was God's plan to introduce rapists to the world, he does not deserve anything. I say all this as a Pantheist
@Hungpa Big man Whatever somebody says becomes the truth if it is not challenged. You say God gave you free will, so sins exist? Use it. Be more than a mindless Zealot. I do not care if God is real or not. I believe in the Earth, not your God. Bring all the woe he can muster onto me.
@Hungpa Big man The law doesn't make it right. In certain countries, it is legal for men to marry children without consent. Legal slavery is slavery. 'You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property.' Is that due committing the dastardly sin of living?-
The part about slaves is really in the Bible and this song is the most brilliant thing I ever heard. The writing is just on another level. Bo really is talented.
I'm reasonably sure they're laughing, if you listen closely you can hear it, the mic is much much more focused on his voice though so it's very hard to hear
I remember watching this when it premiered on Comedy Central. I’m certain I will die knowing this will be the best stand-up I’ve ever seen. The pacing of his jokes I’ve never seen, you will still be laughing from the last joke when the new one hits you
@@lilith6972 its been nearly a year, sadly there hasnt been any talent shows due to problems with the music department but if the situation ever arises then ill definitely be tempted.
and the fact that this is a comedy rap, when 90% of the rap you are referring to is thought of as serious "real rap" yet still has next to no meaning compared to this funny ass masterpeice xD
Yeah, most real rap and original rap is all shunned and underground. It's all about catering to an expanded audience. It's not used as it was originally used for, so now it's about Partying and YOLO and not caring about anything.
+Madd Panda Like the point that according to the Bible you can buy slaves, along with an explanation of how you should manage them, and that you can't be gay. Why do you stay Christian even after knowing that? That's far from the only time the Bible does stuff like that by the way. There's a lot more bad than good in there.
Touché But still when you're in everyday life, NOT A SONG if you're like- Actually here's an example: Person 1: *tells joke* Person two: that was funny Person one: do you mean... Punny? SEE WHAT I DID THERE? Person two: *raises middle finger*

I hate how no one reacts to the line: debra messing's fingers in a holy place, "hail mary full of grace." In all versions of this song, even since the UMBC performance
he did a good Ray Romano impression when saying Debra
I need to see that!
***** Debra Messing is an actress who was the character Grace on a popular TV show called Will & Grace, it ran from like the late '90s to mid 2000s. He is talking about how she is fingering herself.
also played Mary Magdalene in "Jesus"
Oh, damn, makes it even better
I have copious amounts of religious trauma. And this song describes it. The church never answered my questions and instead told me I was going to hell for asking questions about holes in their stories. They would always knit pick things from a certain line in a certain chapter but refuse us context.
@@renderedobsolete everybody says "you must have gone to a bad church" not realizing that literally every church I've ever attended would do this exact thing.
You have trauma because the church you went to was knit picky?
@@andrej8413 Fun fact! Telling a literal child that they will suffer eternal torture for simply asking a question isn't good for them!
I had one preacher in my life who wasn't like this at all... And then they fired him 😭😭😭
Replaced him with someone much worse who was pretty much what the song is talking about
@recognizablebrandname I find most churches don't focus on the hell part,have you ever been to a church?

How the absolute hell do you get away with listening to your iPod in church? Does no one notice?
You just have the small earphones you put IN your ears. then you make the cord go over your back not your front. have you phone/iPod next to you.

you can always put the cord of the ear phones under your t-shirt and hide the plugs with your hair

Mary Waller I listened to KoRn in church once.
I AM A CHRISTIAN AND I JUST ONE THING TO SAY ABOUT THIS SONG
I approve.
Same tho
It’s too catchy!
I relate a lot to the lyric "Thank you for making me rich and white". I'm a Christian from a poorer area, our neighbours are Christians from Nigeria, both our families can feel kinda excluded in our own church sometimes because it's set up for middle-to-upper-class families who've never felt hungry, never had to pick what essentials to buy (food or new shoes because the old ones have fallen apart? Or new clothes for the kids because theirs are beyond repair?) and never felt scared for their homes before. We want to change the church to help more people like us - there are plenty of churches for the upper class citizen - but the church leaders are happy with how it's currently run and don't want to change it.
Same
Jack Frost you know he’s ranting on how stupid religion is right?
In case you are wondering whether God actually said it was okay to buy slaves, take a gander at Leviticus 25:44-46. I'll quote from the NIV Bible:
"44 Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. 45 You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. 46 You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly."
(please keep in mind that this is just my opinion but/
Lessons like allowing prostitution and slavery? Honestly I think the old testament should be ruled out by now because too many people take it's words by heart even though the new testament wrings out it's importance.

Each have slaves within their hearts.

It's 2021, a family member in my household has been becoming more and more religious by the day, reading what he can and talking to whoever he can find on the internet who can agree with his opinion. He's tried telling other members of my household how to act and think and behave. He hasn't gotten to me yet, but he heard me blasting this song from the shower just hours ago today. He asked what it was and I gave him the name of the song that played after Rant in fear of being yelled at or harrassed or something else. I want to move out so bad. This is me screaming into the void, I'm sure it'll be fine but I've been panicking all day and I'm afraid to face him.
Yeah, you should start wearing mixed fabrics and see how he reacts.
Something really important I realized as and adult is that no one is inherently smarter (or better) than someone else. As a disabled female introvert raised Catholic in America, I believed for years that people older, richer,and seemingly more important than me were right whenever I was in doubt.
That’s so far from being true.
From old conservatives making fun of non-binary teens on TikTok to judges in favor of prosecuting people who’ve experienced miscarriages, this is proof that wisdom doesn’t come with age.
We can’t control most things, but that doesn’t mean we have to accept them.
How are you doing these days my friend?
I know you commented this 3 years ago, but are you doing okay? Just wanna check in and all.
This song literally has said everything I feel I need to say. Ever since a young age, I have been forced into religion, and told I would never be respected or loved if I sinned. It was so toxic. I’m still not out if that position, but I won’t give in 💞💞
Okay, so it's "all the seats in the sunday masses filled with the mass's massive asses" but i always thought it was "all the seats in the sunday masses filled with the mass's mass of asses".... that's pretty funny that when he's showing how one word can be used multiple ways, the verse can also be taken multiple ways
When I hear "massive asses", I imagine ass in the sense of asshole, not fat people. Just my experience with churches...

This song ruined praying for me and all I have to say is "thank you".
Good. Praying is ineffective anyway.
IceMetalPunk In what way?
BaconMan
In the only way that counts: observationally. There have been several studies on prayer's effectiveness, and in every one, it's as effective as a placebo. In other words, taking a sugar pill helps sick people as much as praying does, without the need to worship an idea.
BaconMan
In every way beyond a placebo.
*****
Because people ascribe more power to it than it has. Yes, the placebo effect is real, but no, it can't cure most diseases or injuries or disasters. When people think their prayers are helping others, they tend to do less actual helping and tend to seek less actual help. What people believe doesn't affect me personally and directly and instantly, but so what? I live as a social animal in a society full of people who ARE affected by it. And I AM affected by the things that affect societal progress, which religious beliefs hinder.
If you can't see why people believing evolution is fake and the null hypothesis isn't important and prayers work and morality is absolute is harmful to everyone in that society, then you're not looking at the bigger picture. Zoom out of the focus on the individual and look at the society as a whole.

How did that go over?
Didn't fail :)
We have this thing called 'Christian Ethics', which is essentially where they shove Catholic beliefs down our throats in hope that they can brainwash into believing and fully and unconditionally supporting a corrupt system. Not sying Christianity is bad, no religion REALLY is, but it's the corrupt people abusing their followers and their power over them to spread hate and intolerance.
@@communistsharks6889 I agree. Religion isn't the problem is the way bad persons use it to gain power and make a corrupted systems that gain then still work. And when you don't fit the mold they tattoo you with the heretic sign on your name. And the sheeps keep crying. And follow. Somehow, I ain't Christian (Muslim) but I one of the things I saw on the... Idk bible ?, that we are lost sheep. Jesus is goddamn right we are. Since we let thoses ppls guide us we must be really really lost.
'Oedipus, the holy mother-fucking christ'- is literally he best line ever'. Mythological puns are great, but in such a flowing format... also 'Christ has risen'
@Hungpa Big man It's the stereotypical image, something that tends to be mocked because it is just a stereotype. This is poking at the people who don't full understand religion. God didn't die for us btw. It is said Jesus did, who is not God. Simply saying 'God is real' doesn't make him real for everyone my friend. Sin is real because life exists, not because of a divine creator.
You pick up on certain aspects of that anyway, but you mistake Jesus and God. Also, Leviticus 45 and slaves? Do you plan to ignore that?
@Hungpa Big man Religion is a kind of ignorance. If it was God's plan to introduce rapists to the world, he does not deserve anything. I say all this as a Pantheist
@Hungpa Big man What due was this?
@Hungpa Big man Whatever somebody says becomes the truth if it is not challenged. You say God gave you free will, so sins exist? Use it. Be more than a mindless Zealot. I do not care if God is real or not. I believe in the Earth, not your God. Bring all the woe he can muster onto me.
@Hungpa Big man The law doesn't make it right. In certain countries, it is legal for men to marry children without consent. Legal slavery is slavery. 'You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property.' Is that due committing the dastardly sin of living?-
The part about slaves is really in the Bible and this song is the most brilliant thing I ever heard. The writing is just on another level. Bo really is talented.

Crowds kinda lame, didn’t even laugh at the really funny shit.
I'm reasonably sure they're laughing, if you listen closely you can hear it, the mic is much much more focused on his voice though so it's very hard to hear
Maybe they were religious.
He’s the only straight man I’ll slow to use the f slur 💛
He gets the f pass
yeah lowkey this still slaps 😳
i dont think he’s straight-
Update: he’s not straight
@@garfieldsfeet3963 what is he?
Did anyone hear the Wilhelm Scream at the end over the cheers?
No. No one else did.
Hm. That sucks
XD yeah i did too!
Illuminati confirmed
Caz Smitten I heard it xD
I tried to cover this and it's surprisingly difficult to articulate as well as he does.
den danny yeah I'd try to use it to make my spoken English better. Took about a year of light practice.
A year??????
I'm emotionally inarticulate
I understood that reference!
@@Sleipne I'm glad someone did
I remember watching this when it premiered on Comedy Central. I’m certain I will die knowing this will be the best stand-up I’ve ever seen.
The pacing of his jokes I’ve never seen, you will still be laughing from the last joke when the new one hits you
Adding this to my list of songs to perform at my catholic schools talent show.
u gon be sent to an exorcist dont do it-
Pls tell us if you did it. And how it happened. Pls I need to know
@@lilith6972 its been nearly a year, sadly there hasnt been any talent shows due to problems with the music department but if the situation ever arises then ill definitely be tempted.
@@kitsune630 thanks you so much for that answer, i hope dearly that they’ll be bring it back soon -greetings from France
I think it is somewhat sad that most of the big selling rap songs have less meaning in their entire length, than the first or second part of this one
and the fact that this is a comedy rap, when 90% of the rap you are referring to is thought of as serious "real rap" yet still has next to no meaning compared to this funny ass masterpeice xD
H¥pΣr N¤vα
"Funny ass masterpiece". Even if you had put the hyphen in there, XKCD has ruined me for such phrases.
IceMetalPunk say wut
Yeah, most real rap and original rap is all shunned and underground. It's all about catering to an expanded audience. It's not used as it was originally used for, so now it's about Partying and YOLO and not caring about anything.
I love this. as a Catholic, I find this even more amusing
As a Christian, I agree.
As an Agnostic, I as well agree.
If you don't mind may I ask how you justify the points raised in this video? (Not trying to be hostile just genuine curiousity)
+Geo what? I dont know... Sorry
+Madd Panda Like the point that according to the Bible you can buy slaves, along with an explanation of how you should manage them, and that you can't be gay. Why do you stay Christian even after knowing that? That's far from the only time the Bible does stuff like that by the way. There's a lot more bad than good in there.
I don’t know if poeple know this but
“Better to shit in the sink then sink in the shit” -Bo Burnham
This is *real*
this is an underrated bo burnham song
Set to 1.5 speed. Rapping gold.
Raping*
LDL Tots He had the right spelling.
***** Dont know if serious or joking about rape
***** Well this is a mess..
in my opinion its better in 1.25
i'm going to memorize this
I did the second time I saw this
i memorized it the second time i saw it, too lol BO IS THE BEST!
*DEEBRAH*
“it was oedipus those holy nights, the holy mother fucking christ”
i love this line
Is it sad that some words that Bo says, is another reason for me to keep learning Vocabulary. Cause dang, he is very smart.
I just noticed the Wilhelm scream at the end.
what where?
Around about 3:20 3:21
That is a record scratch?
It's definitely not the record scratch. It comes shortly afterwards, it's very subtle.
SparrowHavvk It's the record scratch and the crowd.
watching this again after 7 years and im just baffled at the fact that he remembered all these lines holy shit
"Read a little bit of Leviticus, all the kids are a little too little for this"
Got me jumping on how good that line is.
the Hey Macarena is my favorite part
God damn is he good. SEE WHAT I DID THERE?
It would've been better if you didn't add the see what I did there right after.
SamMut Actually..."THIS STORE SELLS MIRROOOOORS, SEE WHAT I DID THEEEEERE?LET'S ROCK"- Bo Bunham
Touché
But still when you're in everyday life, NOT A SONG if you're like-
Actually here's an example:
Person 1: *tells joke*
Person two: that was funny
Person one: do you mean... Punny? SEE WHAT I DID THERE?
Person two: *raises middle finger*
SamMut
Hahaha, I know man, I was just kidding. I can see why you don't like it, but I think that sometimes, if used correctly, it just adds to the humor.
that pun was divine
The fact that he panics because he forgot the next part, checks the line and the proceeds to slay the rest of the song 😳
Born too late to explore the world, born too early to explore the galaxy, but born at the same time as bo burnham
