OMG! A comedy channel on YouTube just uploaded baby Bo Burnham on The World Stands Up—he was 17 when this was filmed! 🤯

So yes, VERY early in his comedy career. And it's really interesting to see which parts of My Whole Family were changed for international audiences (he took out John Elway, but kept in SpongeBob!). Bo's section starts at 15:45 in.

Also, I had NO idea this even existed until now, but he sings Little Adolf (the bonus song on his eponymous album) live for the audience. It's so fun to watch his facial expressions during that one!

Enjoy some semi-new Bo content (at least for Americans), and stay tuned for more comedy fun! ✌🏼🐔

Shang Qinghua reminds me of Bo Burnham:

SQH, like Burnham, becomes so utterly depressed, so as a coping mechanism he pours all of his purpose into his art; writing. I will go on a rant thag might not circle back to Bo Burnham because that’s usually how my brain does things—

That’s why he writes thousands upon thousands of words every chapter of PIDW—I bet he even has unreleased stuff like the backstory of Shen Jiu and Yue Qingyuan just rotting in his drafts—He puts his everything into his works and then he’s too exhausted/burnt out to do anything harmful to his body or act on any of his intrusive thoughts.

It’s a cycle. Once he gets the energy to do anything besides survive (eat, sleep, bathe, bathroom, etc.), he puts all his focus and pain into the lives of his characters. Luo Binghe gets most of the angst, but trust me, we all know Airplane Bro doesn’t discriminated when it comes to angst.

I think it’s very canon to assume he’s the kind of writer to take things and people from his life and parallel them into his story (with the necessary adjustments and a touch of magic���). Of course, my babe SQH doesn’t get bitches (I love you SQH but you’re useless) in his non transmigration state. He employs a lot of desires and dreams into the sex and romance he writes.

Oh, and a lovely (…depressing) headcanon I have is that SQH created himself, the character he transmigrated into in the novels, just so he could die a meaningless death by the hands of his very own glorious statuesque Mobei Jun. Siiiiigh.

I eats my poor babe SQH. I give him fuzzy and soft blankets and carry him in my pocket so he doesn’t feel so alone… 🐹💛🫂

the funniest thing about John Mulaney's joke about Bo Burnham being more popular right now because he's seen as less problematic, and that likeability is a prison, is that I can absolutely see Bo making the exact same joke

[somethingserious]

John Mulaney starting his show with “all the kids like Bo Burnham more because he’s currently less problematic… LIKABILITY IS A JAIL”

It’s true and he should say it

Do you know this baby?

[babyweightmusic]

exclusive... i'm not unique. this bo burnham special really resonated with me when it dropped during the height of the covid panini. this track specifically. so i made an edit of it. the gods at soundcloud pulled it down, tho. so i guess i'll give it away for free here. download bo burnham - all eyes on me (baby weight edit)

[sir-ghost-the-green]

listening to one song on loop for hours until you’ve extracted every drop of joy and memorized every single second of it >>>>>>>>

Alvin? Who is that? I only know daddy jimmy:). I only know his huge cock:).

My face claim:

Daddy jimmy is making me post my baby dick:(… this is really embarrassing but, whatever daddy says goes. Sometimes he makes us switch roles, i dont know how to feel. I feel too small and weak to be dominant over daddy, and my dick cannot pleasure him like i want to, maybe i should get a strap on. This is really sus. He gets too sus at times like this. I dont like it. Stop. He is gonna see this. @mindlessselfindulgence

john mulaney really jinxed bo when he said he wasn't problematic in his latest special huh

[standupcomedyhistorian]

Woo-hoo—I just scored two tickets to see JOHN MULANEY again in Atlantic City! 🥳

The last time I saw him perform was October of 2021, so a VERY different experience three years ago (wore masks, had to show vax cards, etc.).

I'm going to be attending with my boyfriend Jeff now instead of my ex-husband, so that's a big change as well!

Sorry that I've been neglecting posting, but I've been consumed with work and everything Childish Gambino since seeing him IN CONCERT last Wednesday (an absolutely incredible show I can't stop thinking about lol).

I'm hoping seeing John again will help fix my comedy writing block...I have so many ideas and no interest in actually posting them on my website.

Anyway, I hope you all are doing well, and let me know if you'll be attending the Atlantic City show too.

Have a great Labor Day weekend, and keep it here for more comedy fun! ✌🏼🐔

look how demanding tiktok makes the links now? so rude

Your friend shared this video with you. Watch it now! https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8oFL2nP/

i fear this is both ross and matty coded

"watch it now" eff off tiktok i'll do it in my own time. also yes i agree that this could apply to either of them - "back on the boob" feels like an extremely matty saying lmfao

[rig-a-rendal]

Bo Burnham Monkee?

like thematically yes but he’s in a different canon specific to himself. like they’re both stuck in the same way but in different places

[imeverycliche]

I saw this live, I haven’t been a fan for a while, because his whole situation grossed me out immensely.

Then when he said this bit I thought “you are a mediocre comedian, who happened to gain a fan base of the most passionate media consumers (Queer youth) and then you disappointed everyone.”

He acts like people turned on him because he was an addict. People don’t like him because he made contest jokes about his lovely Jewish wife kind of at her expense, but he loved her, Then cheated on her with a model and had a kid.

Like dude, Jesus Christ….

Also he isn’t even comparable to Bo Burnham. Bo is an artist with genuine things to say who uses comedy as a means of delivering.

You are a mediocre comedian. Grow up.

JOHN MULANEY: BABY J (2023)

[third-sunday-itch]

Dude I'm getting so old

Not that that's a bad thing, it's just weird when you're used to being 'the young one' and things starting to meaningfully change and move on

I watch homes get built, people move in and move on then the building is demolished all within my lifetime

Which happens all the time, always have always will, but now I have been alive long enough to watch small life cycles, to watch people grow and change and live and die

I'm still young but not as young as I was

I'll never be this young again

It's just odd to think about

i met a friend in person for the first time yesterday and she had her younger sibling with her (14 probably) and. upon meeting they stood up, silently, reached into their pocket, and handed me a very tiny baby. and wordlessly sat back down and resumed reading. the kids are alright.
