1. Hey.Copy !req
2. So, um, I've been stuck inside like
all of you for the last couple of weeks.Copy !req
3. I'm going a little crazy,Copy !req
4. so I thought I'd, uh…Copy !req
5. do a little song
like I used to in one of these videos.Copy !req
6. I hope you like it.Copy !req
7. Here it is.Copy !req
8. Trying to make popcorn.Copy !req
9. So, um, I've been filming things for,Copy !req
10. like, a month now,Copy !req
11. and I don't really have anything
that's even kinda close to usable yet.Copy !req
12. So I'm just hoping I can writeCopy !req
13. or film something soon that's usable,Copy !req
14. or I'm gonna just stopCopy !req
15. and play PlayStation.Copy !req
16. Is this fucking doing anything?Copy !req
17. Is this looking cool
or just fucking stupid?Copy !req
18. Is this fucking stupid or fucking—Copy !req
19. Auto… …6,400.Copy !req
20. 1,600.Copy !req
21. Now it's at 5,000.Copy !req
22. Welcome to Legends, Jim Carrey.Copy !req
23. I'm a stupid little bitch!Copy !req
24. That, left.Copy !req
25. Left is off.Copy !req
26. Left is off.Copy !req
27. Left is off.Copy !req
28. - Why do I wear jeans?Copy !req
29. I wear jeans because jeans
don't watch the news.Copy !req
30. Jeans don't read Twitter.Copy !req
31. Jeans are just jeans.Copy !req
32. So if you're tired of the bullshit…Copy !req
33. - …the politics…Copy !req
34. - …the constant arguing…Copy !req
35. …buy some jeans
and find out why jeans…Copy !req
36. …are jeans.Copy !req
37. I wanna know when Dippin' Dots
is going to condemn child sex trafficking.Copy !req
38. You know what, boys and girls?Copy !req
39. I think we need to say hi
to our friend Socko.Copy !req
40. Hey, Socko.Copy !req
41. Where have you been, Socko?Copy !req
42. If your least favorite word is "moist"
and you tell people that,Copy !req
43. I hate you, and I'm sor…Copy !req
44. Every person that says that,
that they hate the word "moist,"Copy !req
45. they think they're the first person to—Copy !req
46. they think that that's a novel idea.Copy !req
47. Everyone hates "moist."Copy !req
48. It's unoriginal and it's stupid,Copy !req
49. and stop saying that
like it's interesting.Copy !req
50. My least favorite word,
by the way, is "injustice."Copy !req
51. Hey, baby, uh, it's me.Copy !req
52. Um… our anniversary is coming up,
it's a pretty big one,Copy !req
53. and, um…Copy !req
54. I wrote a song for you.Copy !req
55. So I'm just leaving you
this voicemail because, um…Copy !req
56. I want the song to begin
with this voicemail.Copy !req
57. Like, I want the voicemail
to play in the beginning of it.Copy !req
58. So if you could just download
this voicemail when you get itCopy !req
59. and then text it to me.Copy !req
60. Uh… you might need to, like,
download another app to download the…Copy !req
61. I don't know if you can rip
your voicemail right off your phone?Copy !req
62. You might need to, like…Copy !req
63. just Google it.Copy !req
64. Don't call me and ask me
'cause I know what you're gonna do.Copy !req
65. You're gonna get this and you're gonna
just think you just can't do itCopy !req
66. and you're gonna call me,
but then I'm just gonna Google it.Copy !req
67. So just you Google it.
You're an adult, you can figure it out.Copy !req
68. Um… so just figure it out
and text me the voicemail immediatelyCopy !req
69. if you wouldn't mind,
like right when you get this.Copy !req
70. Thank you. Uh, I love you.Copy !req
71. Bye.Copy !req
72. What?Copy !req
73. Fuck!Copy !req
74. I used to perform comedy on a stage,Copy !req
75. um, in front of people, living humans.Copy !req
76. And I would try to be funny,Copy !req
77. and then the audience
would sometimes laugh,Copy !req
78. and that was really helpful
because I would hear their laughter,Copy !req
79. and that would let me know
that what I was doing was funny to them.Copy !req
80. Um…Copy !req
81. As opposed to now,Copy !req
82. where I'll try to be funny,Copy !req
83. like, um…Copy !req
84. Ooh, hoo-woo!Copy !req
85. And then…Copy !req
86. You see what I'm saying?Copy !req
87. Well, that's true.Copy !req
88. - Ay!Copy !req
89. Okay, so…Copy !req
90. Oh, whoops.Copy !req
91. - Shit!Copy !req
92. This is fucking so cool.Copy !req
93. My God, what a cool thing to do,
make this fucking stupid—Copy !req
94. What is up? Welcome back
to another episode of the podcast.Copy !req
95. I am your host, Bo Burnham,Copy !req
96. joined in studio as always
by my co-host, Bo Burnham.Copy !req
97. What up, what up, what up?Copy !req
98. And we are two comediansCopy !req
99. who are talking shit no filter,
not giving a fuck what anybody thinks.Copy !req
100. - Not a fuck.
- And, yeah, not apologizing for it.Copy !req
101. - Apologizing, yeah.
- We might say some crazy shit.Copy !req
102. - Yeah, let's do it.
- Um…Copy !req
103. PC culture, man, it's—Copy !req
104. - It's fucking exhausting, bro.
- Right, it's fucking out of control.Copy !req
105. It's just, our culture
has been taken over…Copy !req
106. - Taken over.
- …by a radical groupCopy !req
107. - of SJW feminist freaks…
- Feminist— yeah.Copy !req
108. - …who hate comedians…
- They hate us.Copy !req
109. - …who are anti-comedy and anti-joke.
- They fear us. Totally.Copy !req
110. And it's gotten to the point
where you can't say anything.Copy !req
111. - No, 100%.
- Literally, you cannot say anything.Copy !req
112. - Literally.
- I will try to say something right now.Copy !req
113. - Yeah.
- Watch.Copy !req
114. - Yeah, and he is trying.
- And it's unbelievable because…Copy !req
115. - It's fucking…
- We've fallen so far from…Copy !req
116. - …the heyday of comedy.
- So depressing, dude,Copy !req
117. …when Tony the Pancake
was headlining The Comedy Store.Copy !req
118. Or Salami Williams.Copy !req
119. - On a Tuesday night he'd be crushing.
- Oh, they'd just fucking murder.Copy !req
120. - Just destroying in that room.
- Just fucking absolute—Copy !req
121. - Just crushing, you know.
- Murdering, dude.Copy !req
122. And it sucks because these people,
they don't understand comedy.Copy !req
123. - Of course not.
- Okay, we're joking.Copy !req
124. - It is not that serious, guys.
- They're jokes, okay?Copy !req
125. We're joking around.Copy !req
126. And also, we as comedians
are philosophers.Copy !req
127. - Yes, dude.
- Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor.Copy !req
128. - We hold up a mirror or a…
- …history-changing cultural figures…Copy !req
129. and you need to recognize that,
all right?Copy !req
130. - Comedy is an art form, right?
- Yeah, of course it is. We're artists.Copy !req
131. It's an art form, and it's important
because it's one of the only art formsCopy !req
132. that is not…Copy !req
133. - Gay.
- No.Copy !req
134. - Er, no. Right.
- We can't say that, but, um…Copy !req
135. - Yeah. Yeah, gay.
- Yeah. 'Cause…Copy !req
136. - Now they're gonna come after us, right?
- Right.Copy !req
137. - We're gonna get "canceled."
- "You homophobes!"Copy !req
138. We're not being homophobic
when we say that.Copy !req
139. "Gay" just means gay.Copy !req
140. If another word meant "gay"Copy !req
141. that wasn't gay, we'd use that,
but there isn't one.Copy !req
142. But there isn't, so it's gay.Copy !req
143. But, yeah, so it's really just
a war on comedy that I realized—Copy !req
144. I was having a conversation
with my sparring partner.Copy !req
145. Nice.Copy !req
146. And I realized
that the war on comedy is really—Copy !req
147. Come on, Jeff, get 'em!Copy !req
148. Blue reflector, different color back wall.Copy !req
149. That's good for something. That's good.Copy !req
150. Now we're fuckin' talking.Copy !req
151. Ooh, yeah.Copy !req
152. Oh, my…Copy !req
153. Oh.Copy !req
154. I get a lot of questions
from young people.Copy !req
155. They'll say, "How can I create content
that will cut through the noise?"Copy !req
156. And I tell them,Copy !req
157. "Be yourself."Copy !req
158. Okay? Because the landscape
is so competitive.Copy !req
159. There are so many people
with so many different skills.Copy !req
160. The only thing you really have to offer
at the end of the day is yourself,Copy !req
161. so offer yourself by being yourself.Copy !req
162. Um, and if that doesn't work,
then be somebody else, because…Copy !req
163. you may suck.Copy !req
164. Who you are on a fundamental,
sort of unchangeable levelCopy !req
165. may just be uninteresting
and unwatchable and useless.Copy !req
166. So if you're that,
be somebody else for sure.Copy !req
167. And then if that doesn't work,
then go like this.Copy !req
168. Ooh, hoo-woo-woo-woo!Copy !req
169. When I was 16 years old,Copy !req
170. I started posting videos on YouTube.Copy !req
171. Uh, and this was 2006,
and YouTube was very new at the time.Copy !req
172. And I posted videos of me
performing songsCopy !req
173. that I thought were funny
that I had written.Copy !req
174. And I performed these songs
in my childhood bedroom,Copy !req
175. which was my bedroom at the time
because I was a child.Copy !req
176. And, yeah, in hindsight
it just seems absolutely insaneCopy !req
177. and invasive and strange,Copy !req
178. but it didn't feel like that at the time.Copy !req
179. It felt exciting.Copy !req
180. And soon after I posted…Copy !req
181. Hi, gang.Copy !req
182. …my first couple of videos,
they went viral.Copy !req
183. Basically within a year of that,Copy !req
184. I started to perform comedy
professionally.Copy !req
185. And I continued doing that
until the age of 25, when I stopped.Copy !req
186. But, yeah, so since I…Copy !req
187. started so young,Copy !req
188. basically every…Copy !req
189. shitty joke, every sort of misstep is…Copy !req
190. is, um…Copy !req
191. There's a lot of material
that I'm just really embarrassed byCopy !req
192. and makes me cringe
for a lot of reasons, and, um…Copy !req
193. just edgy, stupid.Copy !req
194. Yeah, it doesn't…Copy !req
195. hold up, and… I don't know.Copy !req
196. I just, I often wish that I could just,Copy !req
197. you know, start over
and without all the…Copy !req
198. But I also know that
if I didn't have that early material,Copy !req
199. I wouldn't be where I am todayCopy !req
200. or where I was before I locked myselfCopy !req
201. in this room and lost my mind.Copy !req
202. Fuck you, dude, fuck you, all right?Copy !req
203. Look at me.Copy !req
204. Fuck you. Fuck you!Copy !req
205. Oh, give it to me.Copy !req
206. Fuck.Copy !req
207. Damn it!Copy !req
208. It's really horr— it's…Copy !req
209. It's very upsetting that…Copy !req
210. the future is in front of now.Copy !req
211. Do you know what I mean?Copy !req
212. Like, that we have to keep living
from now onward.Copy !req
213. I am a weird-looking dude.Copy !req
214. I got that scar, uh,
coming out of my mother.Copy !req
215. You're supposed to see
the top of your headCopy !req
216. when you come out
of your mother's, uh, pussy.Copy !req
217. But you saw my face.
I came out face-first.Copy !req
218. Pah! Ohhh!Copy !req
219. So it's been many, many months nowCopy !req
220. of working on this fucking thing
every single day,Copy !req
221. which is, you know, a little longer than
I thought it was gonna be when I started.Copy !req
222. But, um,Copy !req
223. you know, most days I feel pretty good.Copy !req
224. You know, it feels like it's—
I'm staying busy, and, um,Copy !req
225. it's been fun.Copy !req
226. And then other days, like today,Copy !req
227. I just feel like I'm completely spinning
my wheels and wasting my time.Copy !req
228. And I'm just— I've now committed myself
to never finishing this thingCopy !req
229. and just being in this room
until I fuckin'…Copy !req
230. But if you're watching this,
that means I did finish.Copy !req
231. So that's really, really good.Copy !req
232. Or it means that they found my bodyCopy !req
233. and that this footage
was just sort of with my body.Copy !req
234. - One, two, yeah.Copy !req
235. How we feeling out there tonight?Copy !req
236. Yeah, I am not feeling good.Copy !req
237. Fuck me, man.Copy !req
238. Jesus.Copy !req
239. What's up, Insiders?
Welcome back to another video.Copy !req
240. So today we're gonna
be learning how to makeCopy !req
241. the perfect peanut butter sandwich.Copy !req
242. I've been eating these things
for basically every mealCopy !req
243. for the last six months,
so let's get started.Copy !req
244. First, grab a plate.Copy !req
245. I'm using a paper plate.Copy !req
246. I know they're bad for the environment,Copy !req
247. but I'd rather put a gun in my mouth
than do another dish.Copy !req
248. Next up, the bread.Copy !req
249. I ran out of the good pieces of bread,
so I have to use those weird end pieces.Copy !req
250. Not ideal, but we'll make it work.Copy !req
251. Next up, grab your peanut butter.Copy !req
252. I don't currently
have the top to my peanut butterCopy !req
253. 'cause I'm using it as an ashtray.Copy !req
254. Now that you got your peanut butter,
grab a utensil and start spreadin'.Copy !req
255. I'm using a plastic fork
because, like I said,Copy !req
256. I refuse to do dishes ever again
in my fucking lifeCopy !req
257. and I ran outta plastic knives.Copy !req
258. I know some of you in the comment section
will complain about me using plastic,Copy !req
259. but I bet you wouldn't say that shit
to my face in real life.Copy !req
260. If this shit ever ends
and we go outside again,Copy !req
261. I dare you to step up to me in the street.Copy !req
262. Try me, try me!Copy !req
263. Step up, you fucking pussies!
You think I'm fuckin' arou—Copy !req
264. And there you have it,
the perfect peanut butter sandwich.Copy !req
265. - Yeah.Copy !req
266. Dude, that's what
I'm talking about, broseph.Copy !req
267. Okay.Copy !req
268. Welcome to the Internet.Copy !req
269. Do you know what I'm saying, dude?Copy !req
270. Do you know what I'm saying?Copy !req
271. Welcome to the…Copy !req
272. Okay.Copy !req
273. Welcome to the Internet!Copy !req
274. - Fuck!Copy !req
275. That was pretty good.Copy !req
276. One.Copy !req
277. Oh, shit!Copy !req
278. Hello, everybody,
and welcome to The Dump,Copy !req
279. your online resource for all thingsCopy !req
280. in the world of pop culture
and entertainment.Copy !req
281. My name is Bo Burnham.Copy !req
282. I am an associate editorial
cultural contributor here at The Dump,Copy !req
283. but enough about me.Copy !req
284. Today we are absolutely thrilledCopy !req
285. to be joined by the creative team
behind Inside.Copy !req
286. I am joined via Internet
by director Bo Burnham,Copy !req
287. writer Bo Burnham,Copy !req
288. editor Bo Burnham,Copy !req
289. cinematographer Bo Burnham,Copy !req
290. composer Bo Burnham,Copy !req
291. producer Bo Burnham,Copy !req
292. hair and makeup artist Bo Burnham.Copy !req
293. And, of course, last but not least,

294. Gentlemen, thank you for joining me.Copy !req
295. - Thanks for having us.
- My kids are in the background.Copy !req
296. - Shut up!
- So my first question is for anybody.Copy !req
297. Anyone can jump in on this.Copy !req
298. Um, what attracted you to this project?Copy !req
299. …was timely in its timelessness.Copy !req
300. My dick was hard from reading…Copy !req
301. - You're a genius. You're a genius…
- Bo's a genius.Copy !req
302. …you know, pushing the f-stop.Copy !req
303. Great, and my next question,
and this is, again, this is for anyone.Copy !req
304. Anyone can jump in on this.Copy !req
305. There have been
a lot of discussions in our industryCopy !req
306. about the need to diversify
both those in front of the cameraCopy !req
307. and those behind the camera.Copy !req
308. And, frankly,
I'm looking out at this groupCopy !req
309. and I'm not seeing a single woman
or person of color.Copy !req
310. And I just, I wonder
if anyone wants to address that.Copy !req
311. I'll take this one.Copy !req
312. Yeah, so first of all,
thank you for asking this question.Copy !req
313. Um, if you hadn't asked this question,
I was gonna ask you to ask this questionCopy !req
314. because it's so important, so thank you.Copy !req
315. Um…Copy !req
316. Unfortunately, there are systems of power
in place that need to be dismantled, okay?Copy !req
317. And these systems have beenCopy !req
318. mantled for too long,
and it's on all of us to do better.Copy !req
319. And we could and would
and should have done better.Copy !req
320. And we am, and have, and shall continue
to have done, and did, and do.Copy !req
321. Our doing isn't done and our done-ing
isn't did, okay, so know that.Copy !req
322. - Um…
- It's well said, really well said.Copy !req
323. Um, and final question again
for everyone is, uh,Copy !req
324. what's next for you guys?Copy !req
325. I'm Bo Burnham for The Dump.Copy !req
326. Thank you for watching.Copy !req
327. We are living in a golden age of content.
Good evening, everyone.Copy !req
328. My name is Bo Burnham.Copy !req
329. I am a lifelong content creator,Copy !req
330. and I am absolutely thrilled
to be speaking with you tonightCopy !req
331. about the current state of our industry,Copy !req
332. where we are, where we've been,
and most importantly, where we are headed.Copy !req
333. - Now, I look at this room and I see…
- All of us in this room…Copy !req
334. …the titans
of the content industrial complex.Copy !req
335. - I see Jeff Bezos, Jack Dorsey.
- …a self-sustaining system…Copy !req
336. I see Mark Zuckerberg,
that bug-eyed salamander…Copy !req
337. - This is the lifeblood of our industry.Copy !req
338. - This ever-changing public discourse…
- …a lot of future CEOs…Copy !req
339. …this eternal conversation born anew
at every moment, happening everywhere,Copy !req
340. across all platforms, between all users,Copy !req
341. - this feeling…
- …digital content management…Copy !req
342. …this steady, formless feeling
that hangs over everything,Copy !req
343. - this untamable, aimless urgency…Copy !req
344. …this sense that all of this
is going to burst at any moment,Copy !req
345. it just has to,
it can't sustain like this,Copy !req
346. not with this much speed,
not with this much force.Copy !req
347. The fear of what will happen
when it ends, when it hits the brick wall.Copy !req
348. And the other fear, the deeper fear,
the unspeakable fearCopy !req
349. of never hitting the wall,Copy !req
350. of this feeling never ending…Copy !req
351. never slowing down, but rising forever,Copy !req
352. like a Shepard's tone,Copy !req
353. an endless and pointless climbCopy !req
354. towards a terrible and dense nothing.Copy !req
355. Oh, fuckin'…Copy !req
356. Why do I wear jeans? I wear jeans…Copy !req
357. From the myopic lens
of your own self-actualization.Copy !req
358. This isn't about—Copy !req
359. So, um, just a little update.Copy !req
360. Uh…Copy !req
361. Time is still…Copy !req
362. you know, passing.Copy !req
363. This fuckin'…Copy !req
364. I don't know what went wrong.Copy !req
365. It's beat me down.Copy !req
366. I feel…Copy !req
367. I'm done being sad.Copy !req
368. Oh, my phone makes me sad, ooh!Copy !req
369. Who cares?Copy !req
370. Um…Copy !req
371. I've lost.Copy !req
372. Hi.Copy !req
373. So…Copy !req
374. uh…Copy !req
375. thank you for your patience.Copy !req
376. Um…Copy !req
377. I've decided that
I'm going to stop doing thisCopy !req
378. because I've been trying to finish
this special for many months now.Copy !req
379. I keep thinking that I'm done.Copy !req
380. I'll write an ending
and I'll film an ending,Copy !req
381. and then I'll edit it and I'll watch it,Copy !req
382. and then I'll feel like I'm not done
and I have to do something else.Copy !req
383. And…Copy !req
384. I think it's partly because I…Copy !req
385. the thing that I'm writing about
is an ending,Copy !req
386. so it's hard to end whatever this is.Copy !req
387. I'm just— I feel like
I'm waiting for some big ideaCopy !req
388. that's gonna tie it all together
and make sense of it and satisfy me.Copy !req
389. But, uh…Copy !req
390. I don't think that's gonna happen.Copy !req
391. And the more I wait for it,
the more shitty I feel and look.Copy !req
392. So, yeah…Copy !req
393. Um…Copy !req
394. When this started, I…Copy !req
395. You know, I don't even know what I…Copy !req
396. Um… yeah, so I decide…Copy !req
397. I realized that the only way
this thing is going to stopCopy !req
398. is if I stop doing it, so I'm gonna stop.Copy !req
399. And…Copy !req
400. all right, goodbye. Thank you.Copy !req
