- Let's look at Bo Burnham's specials as one big story. What's he saying? Why did he retire from stand-up comedy? Is Bo a tragic hero?

This channel is *criminally* underrated.
Love your stuff, not enough youtubers are going in depth into stand-up comedy. You should definitely make a video on Norm Macdonald, I'd love your take on him.
Great job KT! Merging the Classics and Stand-Up -- it's almost like you spent 6 years of college and grad school preparing for this video!!
Bo has listed the date of his death on his website. This makes me feel like that even though he has retired from stand-up for the time being, something still isn't right with his healing process. Hope it all works out.
In an interview, he said that that was the day his dog is going to die and he would kill himself that same day.
He hasn’t retired though he did 3 new songs in LA
the joy i feel watching this knowing that another special is on the way.
I've just discovered your channel and this is my favorite video so far. I feel like there's so much to say about Bo Burnham beyond "look - so sad!" and this, along with the Wisecrack video, finally start to break the tumblr-esque stranglehold on critique of his comedy. He retired live, on-stage, and nobody noticed. If that's not a perfect encapsulation of his unhappiness with the facade of show business, I don't know what is. (Also, his silly jokes about Chipotle aren't actually about Chipotle. When he says "I wouldn't have got... half of it" he isn't talking about lettuce and cheese anymore. The "burrito experts" are all the people who could've and should've told him to take a step back but didn't.)
im so happy i stumbled upon this channel, i love it :0
You channel should get more attention. Your videos are great and informative. Thank you for the videos
aren't Romeo and Juliet doomed because of the their proud families? which is sort of a grand hubris? i mean the two main characters try and exist away from it, but they fail to get away from the social structure. From the titular characters point of view, it could be seen as two comedy characters trying to escape a drama and failing, ironically making it a happy tragedy. they loved each other a lot.
@@KatieMears Your video is super cool! Thanks for responding.
Oh, that's crazy! I was kind of explaining this to my friend yesterday!
You absolutely need to watch all 3 specials to fully appreciate what Bo is saying in his 3rd.
Also, the evolution in what he's saying in each is super interesting.
Just found this channel. Please keep doing what you're doing these videos are great. I love comedy and now this channel too!
I love your videos. His film Eighth Grade was excellent. Filmmaking takes up a ton of time, I do think he'll be back to standup eventually, he said on The Q&A podcast that he actually owes a standup special as part of a multi-special deal that his previous specials were a part of
Bill Hicks!
Richard Pryor!
Lily Tomlin!
Aristotle's quote that a black & white sketch is superior to a random mesh of brilliant colors was an explicit analogy that the structure and shape of story or plot is more important to a work than any 'colorful' characteristics or other elements. Not to mention, no form - modernism included - is without strategic placement and structure so his point still stands in many respects analogy or not.
Can't wait to see your reaction to Inside.
do a vid on Kate Berlant and John Early!
Do Dave Chappelle next
Love your analysis of the bo Burnham character
I would love to see a video about Bill Burr & Trevor Noah.
That Edith Hall quote definitely sounds like some shit Stull or Benson would say. Gotta love self-important classics profs ;)
Incredible video though! Always love your analysis.
Hey, interesting look at this amazingly talented guy...
This reminded me of this fun Study.com lesson that I use with my 6th graders that compares Greek Tragedy with "South Park" in a fun clarifying way: study.com/academy/lesson/greek-theatre-tragedy-and-comedy.html
They present a good basic Tragedy story spine:
"Remember so and so?
Remember how awesome he was?
In his pride, he did such and such, and it destroyed him.
Don't be like so and so.
Don't do such and such."
A quarter of the way through I had the thought that you kinda look like a meerkat. I got a great payoff at the end of the video when I saw your IG handle 😹
Romeo and Juliet mentions their damnation from the start with the line “Star-crossed lovers”. The phrase is interpreted by modern readers as an expression of their love. In reality, “star-crossed lovers” is the early-modern period expression equivalent to today’s “born under a bad sign”. From the start, Shakespeare is telling us they’re screwed
