Hope you guys enjoy the beginning of the INSIDE OUTTAKES! I had a lot of fun watching it today and am excited to share with you over the next few days.
A few thoughts I had while editing this bit:
The looming sort of chorus-y sound in Bezos III reminded me of hymns or something of that sort that you would sing to worship a God which speaks volumes of his status as a human and how much power he has.
Does Bo wish he has a daughter in the future? Doing the bare minimum to get by, constantly being bored, and distracting himself with mundane things like drawing a dog in the shower or hobbies like crochet.
What do you guys think?

Obviously. He needs someone who can fit their hand in a Pringles can.
@@godzillaeyes I love you for saying exactly what I thought when reading this comment.
I think it's speaking to a lot of millennials anxiety about the future in terms of having kids, or... Having a hobby instead since we've only got 7 years to go
My read on the future lyrics is that he's really depressed in his current situation, so he spends his timing dreaming of a future that's better.. one where he gets woken up in the morning by his daughter. Can't handle living in the present, so he lives (mentally) in "the future"
@@godzillaeyes Same thought. : ) One of the reasons he chose to say daughter in my opinion.
Bo's outtakes are better than most people's main work
facts
@@ChrisReactsToThings Like yours?
Absolutely
đ€š
Finally a reactor who recognized that the flow of âThe Futureâ is the same as âProblematicâ
I really like The Future but I can see why it got axed from the final cut. Itâs using the melody of Problematic, the visuals of All Eyes On Me, and the message of That Funny Feeling and all three of those songs did their respective things better than The Future so itâs redundant in the end. Iâm glad we have it now, but I get why it wasnât used!
It also has the same story as 'shit'
"Wake up at 11:30, feeling like a bag of shit"
"Wake up in the morning at a quarter 10"
"Are you feeling what I'm feeling? I haven't had a shower in the last nine days"
"Make it to the shower at a quarter to 1, this bottle shampoos and conditions it's a two-for-one"
and so on
Love the Outtakes, as they give a bit more "inside" knowledge to Bo's creative process and how some of his work organically evolves, or how melodies and harmonies are recycled for other work (some of the best composers do this seamlessly).
The whole daughter/crochet thing makes me think that he crocheted a daughter to keep him company in his depression.
The 2-for-1 is a reference to the fact anxiety and depression often go hand-in-hand, I think.
I feel like he tried a lot of ideas and changed things and not everything made into inside. But itâs cool to see his thought process.
If you look at Bo's older songs he usually uses the same beat/melody for multiple songs so it's not really a surprise that Future and Problematic sound similar
you really just casually sang along to look who's inside again and problematic like you listen to them regularly đ
Donât judge me! đ€Ł
Who doesn't?
Can't imagine how it feels to revisit your material to make outtakes out of it on such a high level. Bo is truly content workhorse
i love that the future is basically problematic!! so awesome, these arent more outtakes rather than "Inside 1.5" extra footage.
Love that you're back Chris. Always loved your reactions.
I genuinely think this is just all content that was filmed for Inside that didn't make the cut so now we get Inside part 2 a year later for free.
Bo literally said all of these were filmed in march 2020-may 2021. of course these were all footage that didnt make the edit
Bo is such a talented musician. If this has been 10 hours long I still would have loved every minute of it.
Golly, the genius of Bo is just wild, there are so many ways you can take all his stuff and not be 'wrong'
My interpretation of this is a song that was born of anxiety. So much of anxiety is "living in the future". In a sense thats sort of ultimately what Anxiety is. When you're anxious, you're living in the future. You're worried about things that will happen in the future. You are not present for the now.
This is something that resonates deeply with me personally so its no wonder I went to it first. But given Bo's public battles with Anxiety, it wouldnt surprise me if this is what he was going for.
Just my two cents, excited for the conversation your vids will be providing upcoming!
Makes complete sense. I like this interpretation!
I like this take but I also kind of see it being sort of the opposite. Like he's depressed right now, so he's kind of fantasizing about living a different life (like hanging with his non-existent daughter) while avoiding the bleh of his current one. We've all daydreamed random lives while bored at work or something, right? (..right??)
I think I went with this take a bit more while watching but def see both sides
The best thing about Bo's content is that both interpretations can be right (or completely wrong) all at the same time.
@@loganessex699 agreed!
The daughter part-itâs about two things
1. That dissociative state where you start to ideate and fantasize just about to the point of hallucination. Here the ideation is for a perfect nuclear family and the dream of no longer being lonely ever again bc here is this little girl who will always love him
2. A desire to disappear into the feminine, give up, go some place warm, a la the warm safe arms of all-consuming depression and retreat, something something Freud and the womb ya know
As to why be says âIâm living in the future,â that also means two things
1. The present might be unbearable, but in the future is perfect familial happiness, a fantasy and
2. In the future, bc we will live in the digital world, we will not have to actually do things, we can do them virtually, just like heâs living virtually, in his head, for this fictional daughter, doesnât even matter if she really exists, bc we are past needing connection with sentient beings, we can connect with characters, AI, celebrities, skyâs the limit. Which is hopeful and beautiful until you really think about it, at which point itâs incredibly dystopianâŠ
This is a great analyses and I agree with everything you've said, but I want to add a 3rd interpretation of the "I'm living in the future" line.
On one hand I lean heavily on your 2nd point (where "the future" we got isn't what we were promised as kids and is essentially just a boring, mundane dystopia), but on another I feel like it's sort of in the same vein as NIN's "Every Day is Exactly the Same". Because of the nature of his depression and the nature of quarantining for an undetermined amount of time, he basically knows what he's going to deal with tomorrow. And the next day. And the next day. So since every day has been the same, he has no reason to think it won't be the same going forward. Which, then I guess is where your 1st point comes in -- sort of like "today sucks, I know it'll be the same tomorrow, so I'll live in *my* idealized tomorrow instead."
This song is legitimately so underrated. It sounds super simple and straightforward but it's got so much to look at in such a short amount of time.
average bo burnham fan overanalysing every word he says
@@loke3684 what
If he had the *foresight* to record The Future to include in the Outtakes. But yeah, he probably just had a backlog of songs that were cut, and were edited out because they didn't fit into the narrative of the thing. I do wonder where he would have put this, if it remained, because it's a bit too off on its own. Makes sense to open with it in the Outtakes though!
Thanks for catching that
Makes me wonder if Netflix is eventually going to get an "Inside Extended" version with everything put together.
@@loganessex699 probably not. That would be an entirely new contract
Very glad to see you back, Chris! Your reactions to Bo have always been some of my favourites. Excited about all these Outtakes reactions, and other stuff you're gonna react to.
I'm sure I'm not the first to mention it, but if you're looking for ideas, there's an Australian musician/comedian called Tim Minchin whose songs would be very much up your alley if you enjoy Bo. Accomplished comedian, brilliant musician, and mixes some serious topics with humor. Some good starting songs would be 'Prejudice', 'Lullaby' or 'If I didn't have you (Full uncut version)'. If you do happen to check some of his stuff out and enjoy it, there's about a dozen or two other songs of his in the same style I could suggest.
Regardless though, I'm happy you're well, and back to it. Much love!
I love the idea of him writing this after the special, purposefully using a similar melody and cinematography - knowing it would come out a year later...in the future. That would be next level.
first. glad you're back, man.
when he was singing problematic i found it so cool that he knows the lyrics :D
yess!! I was going to send you a dm asking you to make this video :) I love your reactions.
Viewing The Future in the context we see it does have an Inception feel. I donât think it was planned to be part of Outtakes. The song could have an entirely different feel in another context. (Say for example, following 30, and simply relating to the aging process.) itâs cool that there are tiny pieces of other songs interspersed throughout it.
definitely upload your ENTIRE reaction to the whole special as well!
Will do!
Am I depressed? (Yeah) Stressed? (Yeah) It's anyone's guess
I'll bother getting better when I bother getting dressed
Is it gonna end? (Yeah) When? (Never) Alrighty then
thats basically the soundtrack to my depression đ€Ł
also when I first heard the Gregorian Jeffrey bezos chanting my brain was expecting the Halo theme to kick in
plus it would be foresight to know that this song belonged in the outtakes, not hindsight đ
THE HALO THEME! It reminded me of the same thing.
@@ChrisReactsToThings obviously Gregorian changing has been around a lot longer than halo but I had that soundtrack on repeat when combat evolved came out so when I hear Gregorian chanting my brain expects "dun-dun-dun DUN"
There is a quote from Lau Tau of "If you are depressed you are living in the past. If you are anxious you are living in the future. If you are at peace you are living in the present." This song is about anxiety.
I noticed that as well as having the same flow as Problematic, the lyrics and their story is similar to 'shit' where he sings about waking up at a late time, realises where he is and feels shit "is this real? oh right it's this again" "wake up at 11:30, feeling like a bag of shit".
He also mentions a shower in both "I haven't had a shower in the last 9 days" "make it to the shower at a quarter to 1".
He also sings about how he wallows in how shitty he feels "staring at the ceiling and waiting for this feeling to go away" "I'll bother getting better when I bother getting dressed"
I think shit is Future but about depression instead of anxiety and a metaphor mentioned in another comment about the 2-for-1 shampoo referencing how depression and anxiety often go hand in hand. I really like both songs and Bo :)
I had such a big smile throughout this, thank you.
I had coincidentally just finished watching Inside for like the 4th time just before he tweeted that this was coming out, but I couldn't read the full tweet, because my app blocker had kicked in đ #Dramatic. But it felt so exciting the next day to find out what had happened and you bet your bum I made time to watch it. What an absolute treat, AGAIN.
It only gets better, my friend.
It is super surreal looking in the outside shot, definitely looks like a stage or something. I think it has to do with the light, turned off everything around and blast a pro theater spotlight
I'm glad to see you reacting to this. After it came out, and I was done obsessing over it, I had to see if you had made a video! lol.
Canât wait for the rest of it, great job Chris! Glad you are back.
Glad to see you're back man! As soon as it was released I wondered if you would react to these quickly or not. Love the content and your view on this stuff, I'm not big on reaction videos but I enjoy yours and feel like I'm almost watching it with someone else who also loves Bo's work. Looking forward to the rest!
Yay! Iâve been looking forward to this all day (my life is sad).
Hey! Donât talk about yourself that way!
â all those who roam are not lost â - MLK 2021
i love your reacts man. best reactions to any videos ive seen
The Future sounds like a song about people hating their current life and imagining how it would be better in the future and how much they would be able to achieve. Probably (most likely even) not doing enough for it to happen.
Living in the future, not in the present.
Whatâs fun about watching your reactions is how much of a Burnham fan youâve become, able to just quote songs from the top of your head ;) Iâve watched Inside multiple times and definitely canât remember the lyrics as well as you.
I listened to the album more than I care to admit last year...
@@ChrisReactsToThings fair enough. Good to have you back ;)
@ChrisReacts, I've tryed ti dm you as sono I've seen Bo dropped this. You are the first that came to mind... Love your work. Nice to see you again
It's cool how you ended the video with you looking at your watch and Bo turning off the camera!
Also glad to have you back man!!! :D
5:00 he even made outside look like inside
I would love to have a full uncut reaction video when you're done with all the songs!
Glad you're back!!
Damn bro I missed you
Great to see ya backâïž
So glad you're back dude!!
So glad you're back!
You can yell you listened to it a lot since like all of us :D
Yaaayyyy!! This one was pretty cool too!
Glad your back
Omg! I canât wait for the rest! Woo!
I always took The Future as like ruminating on how every day feels the same. Like if the same thing happens everyday then is there any difference between the past, present, and future.
It's like a part 2
Hey welcome back!!!
since this was all filmed before outside came out im guessing this was an earlier song that he dropped but recycled the melody from? im assuming the idea to release outtakes came after outside was released (and therefore everything was filmed specifically for outside)
it's the melody from problematic
HES Back!!
Every song Bo writes is a banger đ
Did u get copyright? Lmao
I'd love to spend 2 hours watching my favorite boys! Pretty pleeease make that!đđđ
spoiler maybe
GOD I ABSOLUTELY LOVED WATCHING THE OUTTAKES
the songs are way better than i thought considering they got cut and overall its just a good way of concluding inside, and FOR ONCE IN A WHILE, i didnt cry watching the finale of a bo burnham's special, instead we just got a cute feel good song and a 2 seconds sneak peak at the very end
im so excited to see what bo can make in the future
you didn't cry at The Chicken?
Yeah holy shit the chicken song is the only part of it that did make me cry (as is standard for his finales).
I like feel good songs about ambitious animals being hit by cars and dying
There are new songs
You need to react to his Catholic Rant video.
