Imagine being a vlogger with 10 views, having no idea one of those views was Bo Burnham

I love this guy. He's so meta, yet so human. I just want to hug him.

Bo Burnham talking about how he doesn't feel like he could satirize the internet in 2018 is a wonderful prequel to him villainizing the internet in 2021...

@caraliiina8453 5 years ago

Ugh the fact that he values teenage girls’ thoughts ideas and emotions so much is amazing, just makes me love what he does a million times more (the bar is so low lmao :,))

@juliana43 8 years ago

i feel like if bo made a documentary, i would watch it on repeat until the end of time

@VivianDelphine 8 years ago

Guys, the only reason you don’t like Grace “interrupting” is because you’re used to Bo going on long (but interesting) tangents in more of a speech/standup format, but that’s not how this kind of rapid fire interview works. She let him talk enough, but she had to keep going with the questions.

“how you have to choose between all the information in the world in the back of your eyelids”

could i interest you in everything, all of the time?

@mothmanseyes 5 years ago

I want bo to get interviewed in a way where he has no time constraints and can just read questions and talk and talk and talk because I’m always wondering what the rest of his train of thought would be after someone ends it, not that it’s necessarily bad and he doesn’t seem upset, but I’m just that intrigued

"That the outside world, the non-digital world, is merely a theatrical space in which one stages and records content for the much more real, much more vital digital space" - Bo Burnham, 2021

I love how Bo is the one in a million who really says what we all refuse to admit

@sienna7383 5 years ago

how she cuts him off at 7:18 is so frustrating

@anyareid1100 6 years ago

I think if I was interviewing bo I would just ask him one question that allows him to talk and then just sit and listen to him talk because omg he’s a genius

@lilylemon2225 8 years ago (edited)

Bo Burnham actually uderstands it

@taakotuesdays 6 years ago

no joke I'd 100% watch a ted talk by bo burnham

@moonamod3166 5 years ago

The way he values realness and authenticity is like a breath of fresh air and makes me feel so understood. I wish more people valued being true and genuine the way he does. The eighth grade movie was beautiful and I saw myself in it so much because of Bo’s attitude towards reality

@lafernando3731 7 years ago

still can't believe on how deep his voice got overtime.

@PAILINCOY 8 years ago

I think it's important to let the person talk...and actually let them finish...without interrupting... because you should give them that respect... as an interviewer.

The shadow of that microphone is problematic

@josephgaudet67 8 years ago

I hope he does a movie kind of based on " repeat stuff." Commentary on modern plastic music and how it influences kids and general culture.

@floptune8515 8 years ago

I love how bo's brain works (though I am aware of his internal mental conflict). Also, anyone notice the microphones shadow? I mean, I don't want to be graphic, but Jesus that's phallic...
