It's like "We Didn't Start the Fire", but instead of being an upbeat acknowledgement that "the world has always been awful and will continue to be awful, but we'll get through it", it's more of a realisation that things aren't getting better and perhaps the best we can hope for is to just shuffle off quietly in the dark so we can finally get some rest at least.

Coming back to this years later, I wanna point out the genius of the set design. The entire song to me feels like "trying to be human in a society that's not" and pointing out the irony in the way things work today. "Gift shop at the gun range, mass shooting at the mall", "book on getting better hand delivered by a drone". The set PERFECTLY compliments this whole thing. He's sitting in the woods, illuminated by a campfire, singing a campfire song, but the backdrop is projection and the campfire is LED, and in reality he's sitting alone in a shed. The music alone is a work of art, but the thought put behind the set design makes the whole thing come together so beautifully.

Not really bro. I’ve been a science guy my whole life. So in the past 50 years, humans have learned a lot more stuff about the universe. However, this doesn’t make the data projections of the future infallible. No I’m not saying “it could all be wrong”. What I’m saying is-in another 50 years, there will be many more keys discovered, which will unlock more discoveries, and then in another 50 years… So we can’t be SO hasty in thinking that are projections of the future are complete and unchanging. In fact, they are the opposite. And anyone who has studied scientific discoveries through history knows that this happens over and over and over. “This is it! We know everything now.” Hahaha, but that’s not what everyone thinks. Isaac Newton said didn’t think he found what gravity really is. However, a million other people thought they knew what gravity really is because of what they learned from Newton. -- Humanity is the best life form we have seen and we haven’t found fossils of a more capable life form in our past here on earth, but in its current condition it isn’t my prime pick for the journey on into the late universe to discover what is possible and what will occur. But things change a lot in 1,000,000 years. Or 10,000,000,000 years.

If you don't mind me asking, what is it about derealisation? I know the feeling well, it's a common response to stressful or traumatic experiences or situations - where you sort of "zone out", stop caring, don't feel like the situation is real, or like it couldn't possibly be actually happening, but it's pretty mild compared to having full on panic attacks Is it that people who think they're perfectly fine are googling it and realizing that they've been there, and that they're not as okay as they thought they were?

“The whole world at your fingertips, the ocean at your door” I don’t know if Bo really meant this, but I interpreted this as having come so far with technology but with the consequence of climate change(ocean at your door=flooding). It’s kind of like “look, a good thing!” But then rebuttals with a consequence. Similar to “20,000 years of this, 7 more to go” as well.

It seems like the "funny feeling" is one that's surprisingly familiar to a lot of people, but still ambiguous enough to seem foreign at the same time. That's probably why it's a song that sticks with a lot of people well after hearing it, it's almost like hearing the thoughts that they can't define articulated? Like it's almost uncomfortably relatable, but mainly to the things you push to the back of your mind. That's been my experience at least. It's a masterpiece if you ask me.

My take is that probably it's not just one "type" of funny feeling but it depends on the fact he is talking about. It's cool that it's ambiguous enough that multiple people will relate in different ways to the same song, but kind of make sense for everyone at the same time. Most of the analogies from the song point to one thing, but then say another one that kind of makes you doubt or rethink the first thing he said.

That was when I realized my “weird head feelings” about me or the world around me and how it felt to me or how it interacted with it were maybe something more than just feeling off. Where getting into the shower and scared to be alone was the only comforts I had. Thank god for then gf now wife at the time. Even when we split up for a year during a really bad time, she’d still open her door for me late nights to comfort me. Even though I didn’t even deserve to knock on the door.

I think it's actually a reference to the Climate Clock. The climate clock says we only have 7 more years to get to zero emissions before we are guaranteed to end up with more than 1.5C of global warming, which in the near future would make areas of the tropics completely uninhabitable to human life due to temps above the wet bulb temperature. Making a large chunk of the planet uninhabitable will cause major issues for the whole world, not just affected regions. Expect mass migrations and war within the next 25 years as people in mass try to flee uninhabitable regions.

I think Bo Burnham impacts so much because he represents a portion of the humanity that exist and shouts to be heard. The humanity that is financially stable and safe but mentally and emotionally destroyed. Is a mixture of the calm and the chaos. Sometimes I feel sad, and I see everything good I have around me, but I feel empty, despite the abundance (I am not rich btw, just middle class) but anyways, things simply don't fill a person, and apparently, people and kindness also don't fill a person. A constant disconfort with life. I think Bo Burnham represents that. I feel thankful for discovering him and his music.

Everybody focus on the lyrics, but I love how this song is engineered. It's so subtle it's easy to miss. It might sound like a 'guitar by bonfire', but there is so much of reverb, echo, key manipulation on some phrases or single notes. But it adds so much to the song. And even if you wouldn't know English you would feel a bit uneasy after listening to that because it is mastered that way.

"The quiet comprehending of the ending of it all" that line really resonates with me. It just feels like the whole world is a speeding train racing towards the end of the tracks and instead of looking for the breaks everyone is just looking out the windows.
completely agree
Beautifully said friend
Listen to "we didn't start the fire" by Billy Joel
in the outtakes theres a line he says (pretending to be a spokesperson presenting to companies) that gives a different context to this fear: "And the other fear, the deeper fear, the unspeakable fear, of never hitting the wall. Of this feeling never ending, never slowing down, but rising forever, like a shepherd's tone, an endless and pointless climb towards a terrible and dense nothing"
And the ones that know where it is aren't doing anything about it
It's like "We Didn't Start the Fire", but instead of being an upbeat acknowledgement that "the world has always been awful and will continue to be awful, but we'll get through it", it's more of a realisation that things aren't getting better and perhaps the best we can hope for is to just shuffle off quietly in the dark so we can finally get some rest at least.
Thats a pretty apt summary
The list of weird nihilistic things that have happened really did remind me of Billy Joel's We Didn't start the fire too. Except that's just the Historical events. (Mostly was or tensions) That have happened
This is 1000x better than FOB's updated "we didn't start the fire".

"That unapparent summer air in early fall, the quiet comprehending of the ending of it all" is one of the best lines of poetry ever. So, so beautiful.

I'd describe Bo's style of comedy as "that moment when you feel so powerless to change anything or stop catastrophe that all you can do is laugh."
definitely. The futile attempt to at least grasp hold of all that's left- and get a good laugh or cry out of it. To at least still be able to feel something at the end of it all.
Art is dead
I think the term for that is “Gallows Humor”. Named after the gallows where people used to be publicly executed. Basically cracking jokes about the shitty situation you’re in because you feel powerless to do anything else. Although Bo’s form of it still acknowledges how serious and devastating the situation is for all involved.
Could you not have described my default mental state?
Welcome to the absurd. Pick up some camus!
Coming back to this years later, I wanna point out the genius of the set design. The entire song to me feels like "trying to be human in a society that's not" and pointing out the irony in the way things work today. "Gift shop at the gun range, mass shooting at the mall", "book on getting better hand delivered by a drone". The set PERFECTLY compliments this whole thing. He's sitting in the woods, illuminated by a campfire, singing a campfire song, but the backdrop is projection and the campfire is LED, and in reality he's sitting alone in a shed. The music alone is a work of art, but the thought put behind the set design makes the whole thing come together so beautifully.
*tips hat* nice brother, 100% big fact
That's an amazing insight. Damn
The contrast to his other songs rings of authenticity and the place this one has in his heart. It's a subtle invitation to listen up, as he's pushing his chips into the artistic pile.
awesome observation. thanks for pointing this out.
Wow yes ❤
Rainn Wilson (Dwight from The Office) just tweeted this: I get a strangely sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach - I look around and the world is on fire, and all our culture is talking about is a popstar dating a football star. There's a song for that!
Ironically I'd still take some pleasure in watching Dwight reacting to the apocalypse, if we were already doomed.
Yea its really sad
I had to hear there's talks of putting NATO troops in Ukraine from a friend. The risk of ending all mankind in a few hours of nuclear fire was less important than football to my own national news. I honestly feel like I've gone crazy sometimes. It's some fucking Kafka shit, surely I'm not the only one noticing I'm turning into a bug here???
This song is so unexpectedly emotional. "The quiet comprehending of the ending of it all" gets me every time.
That’s the line.
Something about that line makes me feel the most calming sense of relief, "the quiet comprehending of the ending of it all."
same, same...
For me it’s “The whole world at your fingertips, the ocean at your door”
"20 thousand years of this. 7 more to go." Global warming.
I just realized this song is basically the quiet, hopeless version of "We Didn't Start the Fire." Man, that's beautiful and horrible. Billy Joel makes it sound like active chaos, there's this feeling of anger and energy. But this shows the underside. The quiet, creeping apocalypse you watch from your TV, outwardly opposing it but deep down accepting it, knowing there's so little you can do.

Well, that's because it is the truth and we know it. Unfortunatly.
Don't worry, it's just human bullshit.
Not really bro. I’ve been a science guy my whole life. So in the past 50 years, humans have learned a lot more stuff about the universe. However, this doesn’t make the data projections of the future infallible. No I’m not saying “it could all be wrong”. What I’m saying is-in another 50 years, there will be many more keys discovered, which will unlock more discoveries, and then in another 50 years… So we can’t be SO hasty in thinking that are projections of the future are complete and unchanging. In fact, they are the opposite. And anyone who has studied scientific discoveries through history knows that this happens over and over and over. “This is it! We know everything now.” Hahaha, but that’s not what everyone thinks. Isaac Newton said didn’t think he found what gravity really is. However, a million other people thought they knew what gravity really is because of what they learned from Newton. -- Humanity is the best life form we have seen and we haven’t found fossils of a more capable life form in our past here on earth, but in its current condition it isn’t my prime pick for the journey on into the late universe to discover what is possible and what will occur. But things change a lot in 1,000,000 years. Or 10,000,000,000 years.
Sorry that’s to sideshow bob, thought it would automatically tag him or whatever
To me, the most devastating line will always be "Googling derealization and hating what you find". Since I started to derealize far harder since the beginning of the pandemic than I ever had, to the point of noticing.
‘Total disassociation, fully out your mind. Googling derealisation, hating what you find.’ No lyrics have ever hit me so hard. Thanks Bo, for finding a way to articulate that funny feeling none of us had the right words for.

“Googling derealisation and hating what you find” one of the most underrated lines in this song. The desire to figure out what’s wrong, but once you find something that might fit, is too much to admit.

@@John.0079 derealisation is a serious mental disorder triggered as a trauma response.
If you don't mind me asking, what is it about derealisation? I know the feeling well, it's a common response to stressful or traumatic experiences or situations - where you sort of "zone out", stop caring, don't feel like the situation is real, or like it couldn't possibly be actually happening, but it's pretty mild compared to having full on panic attacks Is it that people who think they're perfectly fine are googling it and realizing that they've been there, and that they're not as okay as they thought they were?

You might as well find some light where you can. And maybe that light is a fun little tune to hum to yourself. It’s a very hopeful ending to a hopeless song.
I like that in the special he doesn't even give you time to sit in peace with the song, it's immediately followed up with Bo having a complete breakdown on camera.
Bo is Humanity's version of the Quartet Band deciding to play as the Titanic sank. Enjoy the music and hold your breath.

"The whole world at your fingertips, the ocean at your door" "Twenty-thousand years of this, seven more to go" "The quiet comprehending of the ending of it all" "Hey, what can you say? We were overdue But it'll be over soon, you wait" Man. Nailed it. Went thru a really rough patch with my own mental health a couple years ago after becoming collapse-aware & trying to come to terms with what's in store for us in my lifetime. Found this song just a couple months ago & I feel like it's the theme of our times.
its so wild to see more and more people become collapse-aware, and seeing it in media and from important people..
"That unappearing summer air in early fall." always hits me hard. Especially now, when there are 27°C here at the beginning of October, ten more than the average.
How to cope? Im not doing well thinking about colapse
@@lordmarcusrax I think he's saying unapparent summer air in early fall. Which I interpret as the fact that "summer" is slowly getting longer and longer, but a lot of people aren't, or are refusing to, notice it.
I know I’m not the only one who feels like every line of this song was taken directly out of their head. It’s so just relatable. “Hey, what can you say? We were overdue.” - me to myself many times over the last year as my mental health has worsened.
I relate to "That unapparent summer air in early fall The quiet comprehending of the ending of it all" I'm prepared, I'm comprehending everything is gonna end for me soon, I'm so ready.
They were saying we’re overdue for a pandemic before it hit.
Aye, true. xD Felt that way many time sin my life to be fair.
Dude yeah. I remember watching this for the first time during the pandemic and don't get me wrong the whole special was surreal and depressing and hit home but when this song came on and every lyric felt like a quote from my personal brain over so many points in life, I had like an internal melt down. Forcing me to realize that this isn't a disaster that my fear is feeding on. It's not a speed bump that'll blow over. This was a small payoff of where things have been going for a while and I had been simply noticing and pretending I wasn't to protect myself. It was quite unlike anything I've ever experienced.

“A gift shop at the gun range, a mass shooting at the mall” hit me like a train
“The whole world at your fingertips, the ocean at your door” I don’t know if Bo really meant this, but I interpreted this as having come so far with technology but with the consequence of climate change(ocean at your door=flooding). It’s kind of like “look, a good thing!” But then rebuttals with a consequence. Similar to “20,000 years of this, 7 more to go” as well.
@@goodday2884 "7 more to go" lines up with a timeline Bo previously set for his own death.
"a mass shooting at the mall," man I'm in Boise that did hit hard, because it happened.
That line actually made me gasp when I heard it for the first time, just fucking brilliant
Hii k80!
This may be the greatest folk song ever made.
Nope, it's ultimately stifling. The best folk songs are meant to stir revolutionary furver. This does the exact opposite. It tells you to give in.
@@kevinwillems8720 It's the ultimate be-sad-to song
@gangrenousgandalf2102 it is that indeed, and I'd be lying if I said I've not felt many a night lying on the floor listening to Inside
I know this is primarily a sad song. But I find comfort in it too. Knowing that other people feel this way. That I'm not the only one who steps back every so often and goes, "this whole thing's kind of messed up"
It seems like the "funny feeling" is one that's surprisingly familiar to a lot of people, but still ambiguous enough to seem foreign at the same time. That's probably why it's a song that sticks with a lot of people well after hearing it, it's almost like hearing the thoughts that they can't define articulated? Like it's almost uncomfortably relatable, but mainly to the things you push to the back of your mind. That's been my experience at least. It's a masterpiece if you ask me.
To me it's about modernity, all out of balance. Female colonel Sanders, it's whacky.
“I cannot define it, but I know it when I see it.”
That's so true! Totally agree
I think it encapsulates the quaking mess of the human condition and how on a macro scale how we are perpetuating it in our society that celebrates and worships convenience, pop culture, and our political views that are literally that of pop culture. I mean, when civil war is the easy answer…how fk’d are we?
My take is that probably it's not just one "type" of funny feeling but it depends on the fact he is talking about. It's cool that it's ambiguous enough that multiple people will relate in different ways to the same song, but kind of make sense for everyone at the same time. Most of the analogies from the song point to one thing, but then say another one that kind of makes you doubt or rethink the first thing he said.
Bo, simply the only musician that says sorry before playing one of the most beutiful songs ever played
I feel like that might have actually been a joke about the usual unsincere humble bragging tbh.

@@higuysimcharley I would probably think so if it was only about the guitar, which he doesn't play too often. But he built a career on signing. So to say he can't sing near the end of the special and only then feels more like poking fun.

Only 4 and a half years left, thank goodness.

Considering how things in the world have been recently, might only be 1 or 2 years left.
"Total disassociation, fully out your mind. Googling de-realization, hating what you find." That hit hard
I'm scared I'm losing my mind
@@collinhelstien8942 Too late fella
no it didnt, you are not derealizied.
I spent a whole day once staring at my own arm and hand on and off. I couldn’t figure it out, but it just felt off. Like fake. Or not mine. Couldn’t exactly place what or why. That was when I realized my “weird head feelings” about me or the world around me and how it felt to me or how it interacted with it were maybe something more than just feeling off. Where getting into the shower and scared to be alone was the only comforts I had. Thank god for then gf now wife at the time. Even when we split up for a year during a really bad time, she’d still open her door for me late nights to comfort me. Even though I didn’t even deserve to knock on the door. Thank god she gave me a chance. I never got medical or professions help, I just learned to live with it. The world is weird anyway, what’s a little weirder.
Yeah, with all the other lyrics I always feel like Im being made to reckon with the boring dystopia we allowed ourselves to be in at that point in the song.
Bo Burnham is the only person I’ve ever felt truly understood how to express the constant depression and sadness I’ve felt my entire life. This special was a masterpiece.
Never listened to The Cure?
You're not alone with this man.

The lyrics and theme are beautiful, but I also gotta appreciate how much Bo has improved as a vocalist. He sounds as good as any proficient professional singer here. Beautiful vocal tone, also good dynamic control on the guitar.
Agreed. His earlier stuff was somewhat rough and often flat, but this entire song is spot on. Maturity does wonders for some vocalists.
Bo has always pushed music & comedy to the fullest. He never misses & I hope we're able to get much, much more from him in the years to come. As real as it gets.

NOTHING could explain this sensation, I thought I was making it up. Just “anxiety disorder” or “depression disorder” didn’t cut it because it was a specific part of it all. And I still can’t explain it, but hearing this makes sense and feels like “hey, this is real, you’re not … I don’t even know what
My friend put it perfectly when he first watched inside, "Did Bo Burnham just write the modern 'We didn't start the fire'?" It feels so much like more contemplative version that fits so well given how the pandemic has changed things
Love this comparison!
I mean the government reaction to the lockdown has had 1000x more impact than the pandemic itself and we all gave in. Now we are on a never ending road to giving up our individuality. I expect many to disagree with me and that's fine. But the people who see this 5-10 years from now may think differently.
@@CousinBowling If we had done a solid, strict lockdown in the first couple months and then had strict national border controls, we wouldn't have COVID in the US. It's people like you who have made this nightmare drag on because Republican brainwashing makes you feel good.
@@googiegress7459 and that right there is a great example of what Bo was singing about. We’ve kind of doomed ourselves because we have been programmed not to work together
@@CousinBowling I agree. I‘m very scared of the future now that the right to protest even got taken away somewhere. I think it was Australia but so much is happening at the same time I don’t even remember.
This song is great. Especially the lines "a gift shop at the gun range, a mass shooting at the mall" and "the whole world at your fingertips, the ocean at your door" are downright genius. I also love the atmosphere that Bo's created with both the visuals and the tone of the song. I imagine this song being played on a campfire, in a burnt forest, in the middle of an apocalyptic wasteland in a world that's about to end. And also, at the ending of the song, the cheerful singing about the end of the world tops it off perfectly.
the line “a gift shop at a gun range, a mads shooting at a mall” is one of the most emotional lyrics i’ve ever heard, i remember the first time i heard it gasping and just thinking about how messed up that is. the line itself really did give me that funny feeling
I've been working almost every day in the forest that I grew up in that saw 302 square miles burned last year. This song perfectly describes how I feel every minute of every day between our climate disaster and our political disaster.
dont forget the before that "Female Colonel Sanders, easy answers, civil war" great comedic line inserted seamlessly
Completely agree. It really gives me the vibe of people huddled around a campfire during an apocpalypse, just accepting their fate.
I just got that 'ocean at your door' line and boy, lemme tell you, that funny feeling is not going away any time soon.
what’s awesome is that these songs all resonate so deeply with people who have mental health issues. they feel so good because finally, FINALLY someone has expressed exactly what you have felt. what’s sad is that this means bo has felt this to its depths. i’m sorry you’ve been going through this, dude. i’m glad you’ve made something so beautiful from it.
It’ll never get old to me how he so vividly reflects the way our minds distract us with thoughts of entertainment and everyday living, but every now and then, our minds will pepper in the invasive existential thoughts we all have. He captures the unspoken parts of the human experience so beautifully
"20 thousand years of this, 7 more to go" still hits way too deep
As soon as I heard that line I had to pause, rewind, listen again, and reflect. I hope both that he is right and that he is wrong. History will always go on, but in what way?
I didn’t believe him when I first heard this but recently I honestly really believe it. Technology will be the death of humanity
I thought it was a reference to global warming, especially with the line beforehand "The ocean at your door"
@@thecrabmaestro564 it is. The climate clock has 7 years left in its countdown.
I'm not ready for the death of everything I've ever known. But that doesn't matter. It's happening anyway. I wish we could have reached the stars.
The first time I heard “20,000 years of this, 7 more to go” I had to pause the special to catch my breath because it’s a perfect, succinct, nihilistic encapsulation of where it feels like society is at.
This.
I'm kinda dumb so can you elaborate?
@@mondemamon929 same here
@@waxenknight8864 recorded humanity has existed for about 20k years or so including caveman era and at the rate of civil war and bitterness we as societies throw at one another, it means in 7 years from a Nihilist perspective our world will be over soon.
I think it's actually a reference to the Climate Clock. The climate clock says we only have 7 more years to get to zero emissions before we are guaranteed to end up with more than 1.5C of global warming, which in the near future would make areas of the tropics completely uninhabitable to human life due to temps above the wet bulb temperature. Making a large chunk of the planet uninhabitable will cause major issues for the whole world, not just affected regions. Expect mass migrations and war within the next 25 years as people in mass try to flee uninhabitable regions.
Time for my yearly Bo Burnham-fueled existential crisis
Welcome to February.
For the last few days I've been unwell. No appetite, can't sleep, knots in my stomach...came to this channel to watch Can't Handle This because that's one of the things that helps me and clicked on this for the first time. Literally had it on a loop for 2 days basically. My view of the world isn't as bleak as this song, but I find it strangely comforting. So thank you Bo. :)
And again...that funny feeling.
Watching Bo Burnham since high-school and seeing this bright energetic whimsical person mature and age and grow calmer and more introverted gives me a since of melancholy. He hasn't lost his touch but I can feel the world has worn him down a bit. I feel he has aged with me in these times and I'm sad yet excited to see what's next for him.
Yes growing with him is wild.
@drifting static There is something uniquely satisfying about reading the comments of long time fans enjoying the least "liked 👍🏻" song the most. Too dark for the masses, though I can't help but envy the bliss in that crowd.
same i've been watching bo since I was in junior high and seeing the changes in him makes me feel some sort of way (read: "that funny feeling"), because I almost see myself in him, in a way. when we were younger everything just felt more hopeful and exciting, and now as an adult, I realize that there was no reason to be excited about adulthood.
It’s sad how true this is because he’s always had a cynical edge to him. Guess comedy and horror can be two sides of the same coin sometimes
I've always wondered if that "bright energetic whimsical" he started his career with wasn't always a facade, a character. Look at the message he leaves us with in Make Happy, "Are you happy? Cuz it sure is destroying me to give you that" and that evolution was him coming to term with it and finally exposing it to the audience.
still can't quite describe how this song makes me feel
It’s a funny feeling
Just triggers that funny feeling
It gives you that funny feeling
you really get that funny feeling
the feeling really is funny
this perfectly captures how it feels to live in the 21st century. (did anyone else get we didn't start the fire vibes from this?)
This is "we didn't start the fire" if instead of feeling like fighting back, you just... accepted it and gave up. Just accept that it's happening and we can't do much about it.
I can say my favourite thing about this song is during the bridge, at 4:09, where he hits an accidental harmonic or something it sounds like. It's a small, accidental thing, but it adds a lot I think, more depth to the chord change there in that one moment.
Sounds like he didn't push down a string far enough and accidentally got a 3rd fret harmonic. Actually, sounds like that happens a few times throughout the song if you pay attention, like little musical easter eggs.
Can't get through this song without crying. Tragic, horrifying and absolutely fucking gorgeous.

To me, this song is the embodiment of, “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”
That’s tough. Why does it have to be over? Why can’t we just start over? Have you ever been in the middle of something so epic but all you can think about it is how bad it’s gonna feel when it’s over? Why am I like this? There it is again.
@@runningriot6399I feel this
Ah, nothing like having Bo Burnham sing you to sleep.
“Hey what can I say we were overdue but it’ll be over soon just wait” Is quite possibly the most depressing way to hit us all right in the feels

I love how this is one of the only songs in the entire special that doesn't end abruptly or is cut off. it just silently fades to black
Holy fuck just realized..
Also succumbing to mania at the end. And we assume the cozy setting is supposed to be a campfire in the woods, a retreat, a vacation. But it could just as easily be a post-decline US lacking utility services, acoustic guitar by a burn barrel.

@@couldntcareless7884 I think its the only one, but just in case it isn't I said one of the only to be safe
Just like humanity will 😔
I love just how calm and peaceful this song is. A strange accepting of the end, almost glad its almost over, but still sad its coming to an end. I think it really captures where we are with everything as humanity at times.
After a year or two of letting this special cement itself in my brain, I genuinely can't decide whether this song or "All Eyes On Me" is the better one. They're both practically the same thing presented in different tones. This one is more big picture, more descriptive. The other is more overtly personal and emotional. Either way, they are both peak human creation.
the lines that hit the hardest for me: “20,000 years of this, 7 more to go” “that unapparent summer air in early fall, the quiet comprehending of the ending of it all” “a gift shop at the gun range, a mass shooting at the mall” “total disassociation, fully out your mind, googling derealization, hating what you find” “hey, what can you say, we were overdue, but it’ll be over soon, you wait”

@@lodougherty 20,000 years ago is about when the latest ice age peaked in coldness. 7 more years very likely a reference to Al Gore predicting 5-7 years of polar ice left (i.e the ending of the current ice age we are in) in 2009 or something (also a possible interpretation of a line in all eyes on me about having thought the world already ended being a reference to these types of predictions). It's just another part of the song that's adding to the funny feeling that I think is the one mentioned in the "That feeling" part of the inside outtakes, that things are ramping up to this big long coming conclusion or collapse or something but that nothing seems to be happening ('we were overdue, but it’ll be over soon, you wait') and that nothing happening might be even worse.
That "funny feeling" seems to be a feeling that everyone has: a feeling that the world, that humanity, is headed in the wrong direction, and that no matter what you do you can't seem to change anything. So you sit here, in the quiet, comprehending the ending of it all. But hey, what can you say, we were overdue? But it'll be over soon, one way or another....
Yes.
Love that comment
I constantly ask myself if I’m just being a nihilist but… what else can you be?
Bold of you to assume that. Obviously all those who benefit greatly from the status quo think we're doing awesome. Sadly trying to change is akin to trying to alter the course of an oil tanker with a plastic oar. Not even COVID, the most traumatic event in 100 years did anything other than making all the already rich and powerful even more rich and powerful.

We really all have gotten that funny feeling huh? A beautifully melancholic and peaceful way to connect with each other this way 🖤 Bo gets it so well
I’m glad we had this special during the lockdown. I felt like I was losing my mind, and when I watched Bo’s “Inside” for the first time, it made me think “well, at least I’m not the only one feeling like this.”
I love the way this song fills me with existential dread and comforts me about it at the same time.
This
The music is comforting and the lyrics are terrifying
That funny feeling. Not quite anger, not anxiety, not frustration, overwhelmed by all the crap in the world that seems obvious/backwards/insane/ironic, and just having to accept it. Knowing we are only ever pushing forward and it isnt going to change so accepting that it is what it is.

There are so many lines from this special that give me chills every time
It's also my favorite line. That's what scares me the most when I go to school
@@__m-a-x__ sounds like something Saul Goodman would say
I think Bo Burnham impacts so much because he represents a portion of the humanity that exist and shouts to be heard. The humanity that is financially stable and safe but mentally and emotionally destroyed. Is a mixture of the calm and the chaos. Sometimes I feel sad, and I see everything good I have around me, but I feel empty, despite the abundance (I am not rich btw, just middle class) but anyways, things simply don't fill a person, and apparently, people and kindness also don't fill a person. A constant disconfort with life. I think Bo Burnham represents that. I feel thankful for discovering him and his music.
Waking up to smoke filled skies once again. This song was the only thing in my head.
Every lyric in this somg is crafted to evoke a sense of unreality, and “loving parents” is one of the first things he mentions. Supremely underrated line.
The term “loving parents” gives him a funny feeling because parents should automatically be loving. It infers that there are parents that aren’t loving.
@Larserus i read it as a whole "deadpool's sense awareness, loving parents, harmless fun" like even tho they have loving parents, they still have deadpool's sense of awareness and sarcasm towards the world

Its the "comprehending of the ending of it all" that sticks with me and had me come back for this. You know the world is ending when people are able to defend and stand behind what happened. Tragic.
whenever i come to this song to sing along, i always start crying. i think everyone feels it at "20,000 years of this, 7 more to go". and also at "A gift shop at the gun range, a mass shooting at the mall" but once he mentions "civil war", all of the nice, the bad, the confusing, painfully bleak, and heartbreaking start blending together. and by the time the line about "the silent comprehending of the ending of it all" comes, i'm absolutely destroyed. i love how much this song makes me feel. Bo is a true artist.
As a depressed agoraphobic 27yr old. This song really is a magnum opus. Always makes me wish to be a kid again running through the sprinkler in summer without a care in the world.
Yo shawn, get out there and find some more sprinklers man
it really is a masterpiece, the beat evokes nostalgia for me, a longing for simpler times.
Similar life situation here... This song puts all of my thoughts about the human condition into something comprehensible, and I love it. I hope you get on alright, and that we can both get to somewhere better in life. Maybe they should stop the internet tbh, it's just doing us all harm in the end. Good luck.
Not to play down your agoraphobia, but the world is so fucking shit that I unconsciously decided to just never go outside besides essential moments around 3 years ago.
but I wish we could all enjoy being out in the world again...maybe one day
I have love-hate relationships with this funny feeling but I do love this song ♡
:D
What a funny feeling
same
Me too !!!

Everybody focus on the lyrics, but I love how this song is engineered. It's so subtle it's easy to miss. It might sound like a 'guitar by bonfire', but there is so much of reverb, echo, key manipulation on some phrases or single notes. But it adds so much to the song. And even if you wouldn't know English you would feel a bit uneasy after listening to that because it is mastered that way.
Everyone talks about "All Eyes On Me" and, while that's an incredible song as well, I find myself coming back to this one more and more
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2021 and listened to this song on repeat (along with Phoebe Bridger's version) throughout the process leading up to my double mastectomy. It's hard to find the words to articulate exactly why or how this song resonated so poignantly with me during that time. I guess maybe there was some morbid comfort in the reminder that we're all fucked.
♥️
Hope you're doing well
The line "the quite comprehension of the ending of it all" hits hard. For the past 2 years we've been in isolation to ourselves and feeling like the world is over, and with the current world crisis it feels like that 2021 March panic is back.
It’ll be over soon
From one Internet stranger to another, i hope you're ok.
"A gift shop at the gun range, a mass shooting at the mall" is one of the most terrifying yet poetic lines ever written
Fr that one just hits hard
@Premiumboxingtips Predictions You're missing the point of the line. It's supposed to show how guns are so central to America that they now can have the purpose of stores yet are turning actual stores into a shooting range, swapping the roles. It's supposed to highlight the tragedy of how common gun violence is now. There have been over 100 mass shootings this year, yet it's only 85 days into the year. There were 11 school shootings and at least 9 shootings at shopping centres. If that's not terrifying, what is?
@Premiumboxingtips Predictions Oh, what a surprise, a bit of actual research dismantles your narrative that you formed by twisting the stats to fit it. Exhibit A of why people from the UK don't deserve to be taken seriously when they want to comment on American culture. Or in general, really. lol
@@damkylan3 You do understand that your last line is very racist? Yeah that person is wrong, but why continue their negativity further? Just let it be.
@@amadax780 ah yes “British” my favourite race
I keep coming back to this. As someone who is constantly joking, but that's to cover up some very serious existential anxieties and also put it to music to deal with it...this is pure gold.
3:33 Is such an underrated line it literally sums up the whole song in one line and does it so perfectly that most people don't notice and when they do it soothes them
This song describes so many things. The feeling of not knowing anything but needing to in order to feel sane. Watching everything around you as you slowly slip into mental anguish. Only being able to describe it as a funny feeling.
@EliForce yes! Exactly
This is the song that really showed how far Bo’s voice has come
100%, he sounds SO GOOD. Though some of his old songs were also really good vocally, like the country parody that I can't remember the name of right now.
Oh it's just "country song" lmao
Everyday we see and hear about things that are so sad, funny, hopeful, terrifying, ironic, depressing… I love that someone was able to take these feelings and put them into song.
2 years later and this song just becomes more and more relevant…
this song is incredible. easily one of my favorite bo songs ever
