Bo Burnham - Inside

That fucking chicken song made me tear up

I love the way she ends it

This is amazing.

That short "Spiiiderrrrrr!" song has been in my head all day. 

And I really like "This Isn't A Joke".  The way he tails off/loses interest when he gets to the "I don't wanna talk about it" bit really made me laugh.

Love that one too. The "look at me now" vocalising at the end is great.

Not a big fan of the chicken song. It sounds nice but feels a bit mawkish.

Here's Burnham hearing it live.

He's no Alfie Brown, that's for sure.

... okay?

Finally watched all of this recently. Love a lot of it, really got me (at the risk of sounding trite) thinking and feeling. Often very funny too, particularly the sketches.
But I ended up not really liking Bo as a person, left with the distinct impression he fancies himself. All that shirt-off footage and fake crying.

I still adore (the earlier) Art Is Dead though. It's something special.

White Woman's Instagram might be my favourite comedy song of all time.

Love Inside. Made me feel a lot of things at the time it came out, that I hadn't realised I needed to feel. I think it is an amazing piece of art tbh - funny and harrowing, empathetic and compassionate. And the end turned my head inside out the first time I saw it.

In terms of the Alfie Brown comparison, I think he touches on the whole issue of reckoning with your own past in Problematic. Burnham has the history of a kid trying to be funny on the internet, and it's inevitably unsavoury at times. Problematic sends up "apology culture" for the attention milking machine it is (which is why I reckon he's chosen to look like a thirst trap in it). You have to learn and move on, and accept that some people are going to kick off about stuff.
