The first time I heard him say “it was always the plan to put the world in your hand” I literally flinched away from my screen. The implication in his voice is terrifying….
It's the best line in the whole song.
I was always partial to the line "and it did all the things we designed it to do." I work in engineering and I had to question what we designed it to do and I thought back to the 2yo with the iPad, apathy's a tragedy and boredom is a crime. What did we design it to do: pacifier
@@MullenaxM fair enough, but as someone born in the early 2000s who maybe didn’t grow up, but was definitely influenced by the internet at a young age, hearing that line brought every bit of dependency I have for the internet to the surface. I don’t want to be dependent on the internet, but I know I am, so a line like that hits home
I also see a second meaning here with the rich companies who benefit from the internet putting the responsibility of the world in the hands of the next generation.
@@baumundallesandere I like that reading
The laugh makes this song. That's the laugh of someone who's been awake for 3 days with nothing but the internet for company.
That's the laugh of a evil plan going along well
@@zpearson59 or an evil plan that has already succeeded, and they needed to do nothing more than sit and watch

*SMASHING*
Eh...as a chronic insomniac...maybe 40/60..there are some times a year that is exactly me..maybe a total of 12 hours of sleep in a 2 or 3 day period with nothing but TV and the Internet to do for company..not even a pet. I don't laugh like that when I've been up for that long..more like little chuckles of desperation of "can I finally get more than 4 hours of sleep a night?" right up until I crash on the weekend and sleep a solid total of 24 in spats of 6. Trust me..it's more of an evil genius laugh than sleep deprived mania.
My Mom likened this song to a Willy Wonka song. It’s light hearted and boppy, but there’s a sinister message and undertone.
she is a genius
This song is like the boat scene from willy wonka
100%!
So true!
I think it’s like a circus act, like a freak show that fascinates you then terrifies you and floods you with aversion.
I love the Character Bo is embodying as "The Internet". It's so accurate. If the Internet was a person, this is what he'd be. Totally impartial and completely psychopathic. No judgment but in total and complete control. A desireable and welcoming puppet master.
I worry about Bo. Like he peeked behind the door to the universe and regrets whet he saw, but it's too late now.
Very accurate... He's seen behind the door of truth? Too much information for a single human to bear? Although there are others like him... he is one of the only ones to accurately showcase.. or depict these concepts for others without "plausible deniability"(maybe the right word lmao?).. He is too spot on for an argument in most cases(especially because he doesn't pick any side.. he just shows how he sees it.. which is eerily accurate).
@@solus1712 yeah it's very scary a concept. And it also feels very lonely
He’s Edward Elric except with all his body parts. The transmutation effected his mind instead.
@@rqmennn ppfftt love it. That's what i was referencing but i definitely didn't think into it that far.
I love fma I have a human transmutation tattoo on my back.
“Totally impartial” exactly! Especially when he says fight for civil rights or tweet a racial slur. The internet is indifferent to how content is engaged
When the music speeds up and he starts throwing out one jarring suggestion after another, for me it really mimics that experience of getting push notifications, algorithms suggesting the next video, next article etc, trying to predict and shove on you what they think will keep you there and drive engagement. I feel like it's showing not just the internet itself getting out of hand but the user (listener, in this case) losing control of curating their experience because more and more is getting pushed at them?
Absolutely. It also highlights the way certain topics or emotional responses are connected and exploited-"here's why women never f*** you here's how you can build a bomb"-there's almost no separation between the two concepts, suggesting to me that they're almost related. Like a person using internet to abuse themselves first and then immediately transitioning into information on how to abuse others.
"Just nod or shake your head, and we'll do the rest"
@@spacebacon7184 kinda freaked me out watching that part because he started nodding and then i realized i was nodding too...... i was like, oh my god
Exactly. It’s like how you click on one murder mystery video and before you know it, you’ve watched 10 40mins videos of serial killers in a row without even realizing it.
I hate push notifications for exactly this reason.
I'm neurodivergent and struggle to keep my focus on everything I gotta do (usually without help), and getting those notifications sometimes messes me up. Breaks my concentration and makes me forget what I'm doing.
And I am always very pointedly aware that *when* a notification interrupts, it isn't really some friendly reminder from the app, it's whatever particular company it is calling me to drop my life at the moment and go view their content (and their ads!). It's no wonder people can resent such "harmless" invasiveness and manipulation.
love seeing someone just totally get the song and what bo burnham is about. love your reaction homie
I wholeheartedly agree. I've been shamelessly binging reactions of Bo's new special, and the vast majority just laugh at the jokes while not understanding what the song's really about. I do understand it's not necessarily a given that the reactors realize his lyrics often have this deeper meaning, which is why I get really giddy when someone who either are unfamiliar with Bo's work or blindly react to a song understands the actual message he tries to get across.
In that department, Brad gets one big fat thumbs up from me
100% ^^^
Gets it?
Another part of the special mocks the culture that makes reaction videos.
@@franklinave2062 well..you definitely didn't get it🙄
Right?! Fucking finally. Someone who gets it. I've watched a couple reactions and just watched people just laugh at the jokes without understanding any of it.
At what point do you stop being a comedian, and start to become a philosopher?
@@johnnyparsnips7641 diogenes is an exception
Mel Brooks lampoons that point in History of the World Part 1, where he plays a "Stand-Up Philosopher" (read as Stand-Up Comedian)
@@t0rm3n7 I was going to comment the same thing
Professionals in it for the money may not count... but then you have some classics who always build on philosophy.. I mean, George Carlin, Dave Chapelle, Bo Burnham? There are more of course.. but they are always putting their personal thoughts about the world into their work.
They are one and the same
I like that Bo points out how important boredom is, albeit subtly. I believe boredom is the field we plant our creativity in and the soil that fosters our priorities. Without a little boredom, we'd be chasing one thing after another. Boring times are when you do the pro-active tasks that are important and unurgent, or when you make goals and plan. Folks have deep thoughts or flashes of insight in the shower for a reason... there ain't anything to distract you in there.
Some of my greatest memories come from times when I was bored!
I used to draw a lot when I was bored. Can't make anything good these days.... Hmm.
Or you can watch the same 5 videos on repeat while the boredom only gets hungrier because your brain knows it really wants to be creative and productive
If you pay attention to the end you realize that how it starts off slow but then goes super fast symbolizes that Even once you learn about what Internet has been doing you just slow down but then you’ll go back to Being addicted
@@goodgoodgodclips good point, I didn't put that together. This song is brilliant.
“You have to decide if you’re going to view it as a comedy and laugh or view it as reality and cry.”
That could almost be a lyric in itself. Great reaction, great video 👍🏻
I’ll be here craughing all night 😂😂😭😭😭😫🥹
One thing that hit me was the line "Insatiable you." He says it so innocently but insatiable means impossible to satisfy. And in the contexts of human behavior and the internet that is fucking terrifying. We are never satisfied, its scrolling from one thing to the next to the next to the next.
Also to me when he starts laughing and being a little more manic, that to me signifies the moment someone becomes hooked to the internet or your smart phone. He starts laughing, saying we have anything and everything, and your hooked.
It's like a villain telling the victim his plan, but the difference is that this villain actually won, nobody can spoil his plan anymore
"Your inside's out" is probably the most tragically correct line of the entire song. Our every internal thought is just projected out into eternal digital space. Things we used to cherish as private. Things people would literally melt down over if people read in their diaries or journals are now blasted in written, audio and visual form every second of the day.
fr it's my favorite line in the whole song
Also, the first time he says "insatiable you", but the second time, about the next generation, he says "insatiable, _watchable_ you". Everything on the internet is tracking you, looking at you.
"tell us every thought you think"
If you look around a bit, you can find an episode of "The Green Room" from about 2012 that featured Bo and a couple other comics talking about how they come up with material. Bo Burnham (who is literally a 20-year-old kid at the time) says he makes it a point to not make anything up, but find humour in the things that happen in reality, which is inherently absurd. If you went back in time to 1971 and said 'hey, in 50 years, everyone will have a computer more powerful than the one they used to put men on the moon, it will fit in your pocket, and we will mostly use them for porn," imagine what people would think.
You'd have to explain porn first

The irony of watching someone on CZcams react to this song is both tragic and hilarious at the same time
Yess and then I'm here at 2 am watching this and going: "Wait a minute..." and then rethink my life decisions
Agreed Garfield
im feeling a sense of despair that i would get from cosmic horror from the lines "a little bit of everything all of the time"
Same. Easily the most chilling lyrics of the song
But this shit is real and happening now. Fuck.
That maniacal laugh gives me shivers. And yet all 3 of my kids live on the internet.
@@kathytrembath5748 stop them lmao you’re the parent if your kids don’t have good habits you’re supposed to stop them
@@getmine9490 they're 21, 19 and 18?!
It gives me More Sinister Than Normal Disney Villain vibes. Like, Circus Ringmaster inviting people to see his Carnival of Delights, Wonders, Horrors, Oddities and Distractions. He knows he's won. No one is coming to save us from ourselves.
He's leading you into the Hall of Mirrors and cackles maniacally at your expense because he knows you can never escape no matter how much you want to. You are now part of his circus, at his mercy, forever.
This is the MOST ACCURATE, I was trying to articulate but couldn't.
I just only realized that when he cuts off the visual effects at 8:31 he also cuts off the audio. That is such a simple thing but never occurred to me on the dozens of watches before. He (the fictional character "Internet") is done telling his sop story and now you're back to being pandered to for being sold stuff.
He also cuts the slow zoom in the camera was doing and when he starts laughing hysterically the camera begins to slowly pan out
The YOU part gives me chills too, I'm almost that generation, I'm 21. The music is so beautiful and it's perfect cause you know it's a poisoned gift
As a fellow 21 year old I wholeheartedly agree
who is he talking to tho

Or just watch Bo Burnham's 'Intern' song/skit where he does exactly that.
@@alexandradavies6669 That was the joke...
@@Migtosis lol, fair enough. Though to be fair, he wouldn't know that if he hasn't watched the whole special.
That was a deep cut, right there!
This special has slowly made me question what my life would be like if I didn’t spend my teen years glued to social media, and even now as adult. I think this song does a perfect job articulating how current generations are being somewhat groomed by the internet (with the “insatiable you” part), and how hard it is to break yourself from that cycle.
as a middle-aged guy i could try to describe it, but there's a language barrier. and sometimes i start to forget it myself... let's just say there's a world i wish you all knew, and no matter how much some of us miss it there's no path back there.
"it did all the things we designed it to do"
That ties in with the bit from the special where he's lying on the floor, shot from above, and he says that maybe, just maybe, allowing the exploitation of children's neurochemical makeup by massive internet-based companies was a bad idea.
It's been shown that SM exploits the dopamine receptors in the brain to cause actual addiction (like getting "likes" on a post), much the way certain drugs do. It's not an accident. It was designed as a drug, and put in the hands of children and encouraged by parents. The dependency isn't just habit, it's physical.
Interresting
Yeah, just like pornography. Way too easy to access and quite dangerous if you ask me. Not that i have anything against masturbation, which is in no way harmful. Pornography is a danger to human existence and those who made it so easy to access through the internet can be easily identified and are actually praised around the world. A man with funny moustaches tried to warn us 90 years ago, people didnt listen, and now here we are
I got a creepy circus ringleader vibe from the internet as a person
The part that hits home for me about the “here’s how you can build a bomb” line is that it’s paired with “here’s why women never f@*# you”. There’s a volatility to peoples’ mental health that gets amplified by the access to everything all of the time.
exactly no one ive seen paid attention to them being paired up. "heres why women never fuck you" is THE entry point to stochastic terrorist pipeline that employs all sorts of bigotry. "heres how you can build a bomb" would be closest to that sentence out of every other option The Internet suggests.
I really like how at the very end, when he sped up with the "can I interest you in everything all of the time" you can hear two voices, a lot of lights are going on, like 5 instruments, a lot lf fast talking... Its very eerie and ominous, and its exactly how the world feels.
Right? And then the very sudden end/quiet of everything when he stops the song....I interpreted it as the pure chaos of it all and being plugged in, followed by the sudden silence of logging off....
The one Line that always gets me is "and it did all the things it wz designed to do" It sounds like when the villian acts all friendly with the protagonist and lets some of their true colors out at times, and you look back at it and realize what they meant by it
First reaction I’ve seen that made the connection to the progression of the music to the progression of the internet getting faster and filled with more content. Really interesting take
He's like a modern day Tom Lehr. It started as a business tool, but now it's a tool of destruction. Physically, economically, emotionally, socially, politically and morally.
Tom Lehrer? If so that's pretty apt. Especially since they both literally have a song called new math... so Bo was obviously influenced by Tom
It does not only destroy it also helps and supports. A lot of the destructing things where already there we simply notice them more now
@@tomendruweit9386 True. But as much as the bad, which by it's nature tries to spread as fast and far as possible.
I picture the beginning of this song as someone scrolling through their twiter or facebook feed faster and faster and faster and all of these wildly different "suggestions" are hitting you at the same pace as the song and you literally can't keep up and end up getting emotional whiplash from it all
Best reaction video for this song I've seen so far. And I've watched quite a few. Love seeing content creators really get the point of this song. Great video!
There’s a funny feeling I get when I think about these reactions to Inside, how we’re so isolated because of the pandemic that we turn to reaction channels for a pseudo-social experience? I can’t put my finger on it but it’s very apt considering the themes of Inside…
I just discovered this and The Part where he just fucking Laughs this Villan Laughter gives me chills.
One thing I've noticed, (and it just might be me) but the way that Bo is talking about the internet, he's describing it almost like it's a living and sentient thing [the internet] which some might argue it is.
This really hits different with people our age. I'm turning 30 this week. We're the generation that saw it all unfold, understanding both sides before and after this digital age. I remember my first PC, my first mobile phone, the first time a phone had internet, the first time a phone had a camera, but Im young enough to jump on all different social platforms as they were created up to tiktok and snap. Like we can see this whole thing happening, my parents getting hooked on Facebook, my neices and nephews doing tiktok dance routines. My auntie sharing fake news in family group chats. Like what the fuck are we even doing at this point???
Props to Bo for being able to create this, putting our sense of confusion and dread into songs because I feel we're the generation that is stuck between worlds, trying to fix and figure this all out.
Being 30 in 2021 is overwhelming. Like downloading new OS updates on an old smartphone. Like it works but, barely 🥲
Being a millennial and having felt that sudden transition I fully understand what Bo meant when he said "It was always the plan to put the world in your hand". He also talks about how unstoppable we are supposed to be. These things are exactly how I felt when the internet first became popular. It felt like a tool that was made to make our lives easier because of our ability to find tons of resources and connections for a good future. However it has overwhelmed/distracted me a lot and I have wasted most of my early 20's on the internet not going anywhere in life.
I'm 27 and trying to turn it around but it's not easy. I spent all day today watching CZcams... At least now I know how dangerous it is to use the internet when it's marketed to keeping people's attention. I wish I were told this growing up. It shortens attention spans and makes it hard to sit down and learn something for a few hours a day. Instant gratification is a click away.
I'm in my teens I had a job application and I didnt even finish it and turn it in xD so once I get my card inma apply for another job but I dont think that'll be possible
The internet itself is uniquely able to instill cosmic horror. Infinite intake of data, all of the time. That's not healthy.
Beholding
"I tell u whaaa uuu dddd tststs ts aarg" No need to say more, no less, no more, just right and tells everything that we feel and I agree.
I’ve watched 17 reactions to welcome to the internet and I can’t stop
Help me 😢
Your reaction right at the end was the best reaction I've seen yet: speechless-ness
The amount of reactions I’ve seen of people like ‘hey this is a great song love the bop blah blah’ you’re the first I’ve seen that’s actually taken in the dark undertones bravo great video!
Bo's Music always tell a story and half of it is the funny perspective and the last half part is the wham perspective that makes everything sense and make you realize what's happening and you're wrong all along.
In this song , hes explaining whats on internet and its kinda funny, when he start to go slow , you will realized that He is the Internet given sentience . "If we'll stick together who knows what can we do. Now look at you"
He knows that you used the Ipad when youre two years old because he is the Internet.
He knows your nature because he slowly designed you "it's always the plan to put the world in your hand"
Yo I love that analysis that as it sped up it got creepier. The whole idea that as the internet speed up and got more prominent it became a creepier and scarier place is spot on and something I haven't heard anyone mention before.
I never noticed this but at the end where he says "anything and everything" 3 times he ends it with says "and all of the time" might be nothing but it's bo so it's probably a reference to how everyone is constantly on their phones/internet anymore.
Thought you were gonna be a cliche reactioner but you ended up completely deeply understanding the song and really surprised me. Subbed
A Song about the rabbit hole, makes you feel like you are going down the rabbit hole... I got butterflies.
*Bro* - taking a moment to recognize *how good this video is.* You're genuine; hope you go far! -Newest sub
The thing about "giving you everything all of the time" is not just about "giving everything" it's also giving you nothing, it keeps you docile in front of the screen, if you have to watch everything, you can do nothing because you're busy watching everything
This song puts my anxiety to a tune. The whole special was like watching my own mental health struggle. The fact he is willing to turn to art and express and shares that with us is lucky.
"And if we stick together Who knows what we'll do" that line right there scares the fuck out of me and how he says it holyyyy
Wow, first time I watched someone really break this song down and understand it well on first listen. Definitely earned a sub! Would love to see you react to more of the Inside special.
This is hands-down the best reaction to any video I've seen. You perfectly broke down the meaning behind the song, while managing not to takeaway from enjoying the video. Subscribed!
im not sure but in my opinion this song isnt a message to gen z, its a message to generation alpha (the current generation being born after gen z) because gen z grew up knowing technology and the internet and they grew up WITH it, but generation alpha is going to be grown up BY it
"All this crazy stuff you can probably find on the internet"
You aint seen nothing yet, brother.
"I'll tell you what, hrr bkjrr flarrr-" *cut*
Something I think a lot of people miss is that the song starts out in d minor, then switches up to F major, before key changing to D major, and then heading back to d minor for the end.
It's a cute little musical/thematic progression
It basically leads us through the journey before coming right back to where we started...
Ppl underestimate the value of changing modes: just the change from D minor to F major, even tho the notes are EXACTLY the same, completely changes the vibe.
And that's not to mention the "actual" key change to D major! SUCH a powerful key change. And perfectly sets up the sinister and terrifying transition back to D minor
This song immediately makes me think of gene wilder as willy wonka. also, your reaction face at 3:33 is priceless LMAO
Sam Cook- A change is gonna come
Louis Armstrong- What a wonderful world
Ray Charles- America the beautiful, Georgia on my mind
Bobbie McFerrin- Don't worry be happy
That's the thing, we don't know the long term/ life term effects of the internet. My generation (I'm 19) is practically raised by this current internet, how will this effect us 40 years from now? What will we be like at the end of our 80 to 100 year old lives?
Yeah, I saw a comment on a different video saying that Gen Z is essentially "Ground Zero" for the internet age, where we grow up with the internet as having essentially always being around
This guy's brilliant! All about the internet illustrated in a song.
it's crazy how many times I come back to this video, I've literally lost count. Your reaction and analysis to this whole special is amazing and I can't get enough
"It started out with fun and games", and now it's even more fun and games. Sometimes too much of it. Part of it is dopamine overload and people getting used to getting constant kicks, and part of it is how everything is designed to grab your attention and keep you addicted. I love the internet, no doubt, but it's good to take a break sometimes. I should listen to my own advice on that one 😅
Loved your reaction to this one, you analyzed what he put forward with the song and it was interesting to hear your take on it.
I'm a person so young I don't really recall when there was no internet. My take on it all is that all the internet gives is a more free outlet to put in all of humanity's good and bad.
Sure, there's all those things on the internet, but it's not like the real world is all good either, if I were to list all the bad things in real life, I can pretty much say the same point as the point. I know too much internet is bad, but that's just it: "too much", and even then, I'd reckon that we need to know of those things the way we do, since all of those things are from other humans too.
The internet is just a more free outlet of all things we have. Good and bad, all of it. The way people think we shouldn't be on the internet anymore with the message of the song they got, it's just... ignoring. Wanting to stay in the bliss of ignorance from all those things. We all learned of those things yet not any more people are doing relatively way more bad things out of all of those. Being addicted to the internet is bad, yes, but if all your problem with the internet is "think of the children having to learn of this.
They NEED to learn of it either way, if you don't want them to learn the way you did by just stumbling onto those things, then GUIDE them. All you shouldn't do is prevent them from knowing of it, because it is out there still, those bad things are just... out there. If you don't let them know to handle it as much as you do now, they'll most likely do the same thing as you if you're any less than infallible about it.
Let the children know of those things. The world has a whole lot of bad in it, the internet just makes that all the more apparent.
I didn't read your comment but because it's too long I'm going to like it anyways
bo burnham has actually talked about this topic in the past in an interview where he said that when he sees kids nowadays who are on the phone all the time, he doesn't think "why tf are they on the phone" but rather understands them doing so because, you know, why wouldn't they be on the phone? why would anyone want to look up from their screens right now? look at the state of the world that we have built for these kids to live in, of course they'd want to be on their phones - i feel like the slow part of this song kind of describes this guilt that the older generations may have and the feeling of having let down the younger people nowadays
@@anaitm8103 I love the lines
"This was catalogues, travel blogs..."
These problems still existed, before my time and many others.
I have no doubt in my mind Bo is aware of the fact that the real world is just as awful as the internet world (just as you said), but I think he's trying to make more of a comment on how a younger generation and placing a ton of emphasis on trivial things and this 'pursuit' of not being bored.

Great reaction with the PERFECT amount of pausing which is really refreshing and unfortunately kinda rare. So many CZcamsrs go WAY overboard with the pausing in their reactions.

We didn't even imagine what this thing could become and so we never put anything in place that learned people how to use it in a healthy way. There's no manual and yes it got out of hand.

1. "Be Happy, Be Horny, Be Bursting with Rage- We've got a Million Ways To Engage" ..... other than Sadness. Every other emotion is acceptable to express online, but Sadness is a taboo.
If you post about depression, you often get crude comments, you're told to suck it up, and it's like empathy is discouraged. "Apathy is a Tragedy" indeed.
2. "When the Towers Fell.." is the lowest set of notes in the whole song... as if marking the point where we hit a rock bottom... and I personally feel that in the time after that, from what I remember, the Internet became a more aggressive and hateful place.
Bo says a lot in things he also doesn't say, things he just hints, but the point is for you to catch those hints, to read between those lines, and understand he's trying to slap sense back into us through music and a guise of 'comedy'.
I couldn't agree more
Every time i see the reaction and realization come across peoples faces when they get the implication of that laugh at the end of the song i get goosebumps.
The duality of this so is so brilliant.
One thing I really love about this piece is how advanced it is music wise, and just production in general he has tempo changes, acting, multitasking as he plays the piano, utilizing more uncommon sounds and interests, changing tones, not to mention the editing skills and camera work. He's multi-talented and brilliant and well worth the views its gotten. Bo Burnham has never been afraid to do whatever the fuck he wants to which means that he has a lot more freedom in experimenting with all types of music adding in kooky sounds and being okay with tempo and tone changes whereas 90% of people wouldn't shy away at that. It's brilliant.
Love this reaction man.
You've got such a great perspective and analysis, I'd love to see your reactions to some of his other recent songs from "Inside." They're all incredibly different and remarkable in their own ways. :)
It felt as though, when he laughed, he'd become the personification of the devil, and that the internet and its use is a Faustian deal. "Anything and everything and all of the time" sounds a bit like a threat.
