1. To clarify, BetterHelp is our sponsor on this video. We will always disclose in our videos any sponsors we have for that video. Mike Burns, our writer, is just really into Taco Bell.

2. @wisecrack do you know here in Dominican Republic the most loved product in taco bell are their fries?? when i go to US and they told me dont have fries…. i almost cry

3. good video, could've used with a tad less references to taco bell and such

4. In the example the guy got blacker as he got more successful. Coincidence? I think so.

5. Bo Burnham might be the least funny comic I've ever seen

6. Did I learn anything from this 20+ minute Taco Bell commercial? . . . no

7. His “I hope you’re happy” at the end of “cant handle this right now” is not a genuine wish of happiness for his audience. It’s putting the guilt of causing him so much pain on the audience. Us fans are what ruined what ruined him, so he says “I hope you’re happy” (for doing this to him)

8. Still trying to find out that intro music.

9. thank you for your super video on the philosophy of bo Burnham!
   Bo is talented, he makes you think the meaning of life and laugh at the same

10. Bo is actually trying to tell us the truth.. "Entertainers are lying to you.. They're Manipulating you"

11. What is the philosophy of Wisecrack?

12. Keep going with the Taco Bell joke, maybe it’ll be funny on the 20th try

13. This video is a Taco Bell ad.

14. YOU SPENT HALF OF THIS VIDEO NOT TALKING ABOUT BO BURNHAM

15. 14:00 The two restaurants fact is debatable. Bo didn't say "Guy Fieri owns two restaurants." He said "Guy Fieri owns two functioning restaurants." Yes, Guy Fieri may own seventeen restaurants, but how many of them are actually functional?

16. BRING BACK THUG NOTES

17. As a guy born with esophagus atresia and had multiple ileus. I feel a bit in awe to people that never had to deal with that kind of issues when they was young. As my friends thought they would be forever young, I felt like an old frat just waiting for my next doctor appointment.
    At age 26, roles shifted. People realize they gonna die. I realized I'm gonna get old….life, weird stuff

18. My drug's attention, I am an addict, but I get paid to indulge in my habit

19. Before his specials, it it is important to recognize how self-deprecating he was to counter how annoying he probably thought he was. My Whole Family Thinks I'm Gay was a perfect representation of that time. While it wasn't derogatory in most sense, it was a stepping stone in his creative process

20. Also, he's not funny.

21. Bit late to comment on this one. Nonetheless, this is one of the best "Philosophy of" videos you have created. Thanks for the deep dive. You guys are legends!

22. This video sponsored by Taco Bell

23. I don't see the subject matter as either sad or depressing at all. If anything this shows the inevitability of the cyclical nature of time, cause, effect, revival and repetition, which I suppose is kind of sad, but it also suggests that there periods of relative peace and enjoyment of the moment will also return. Until we destroy the world, all die and the cycle begins again and hopefully the next species will be better stewards of this paradise than we have been. I won't lament the death of humanity at it's hands, by our inaction, artifice and arrogance. The real philosophical black whole is knowing we had the power to change everything and didn't anyway.

24. How do you not put the “cannot give himself” line in this video…

25. Skip to 9:49 if you actually want to hear something about Bo Burnham. 9 minutes into this video, I was surprised when you brought up what it was supposed to be about. I had to re-check the title to find, yes, this was supposed to be about Bo Burnham. It was a little like going into a Taco Bell, talking to the person on the register about Pizza Hut for 9 minutes, and then being surprised to find I was still inside a Taco Bell, and wouldn't be able to order pizza.

26. People should not and for the most part are not pursuing happiness, happiness (and/or sadness) is the product of the choices you made and the consequences they had on you.

27. Atypical also achieves this

28. do one on george caelin please

29. jesus christ the obsessive taco bell endorsements are so annoying

30. The office showed mundane work? The UK office definitely did but the US was optimistic and goofy and wouldn't be a bad place to work

31. Bo Burnham had a few clever catchy tunes, then he stepped out of his bedroom at his parents house and became cheesy and uninteresting.

32. 2:14–2:47 yo what happened to me in college. Lied under the sun to long

33. 🌮hell commercials & vid references are depressing,as🇺🇸has this as collective point of reference 4 what Mexican food is(it's simple stuff some of the time,but some of the simple stuff has more than a little involved in prep[& of course,since I'm dysfunctionaly indigent,even I am on the welfare,low budget,mass consumption🌮]& some of the genuine product is something 2 show up 4!)=the🌮s & comedic offerings do little as 2 pinning a
    grin on my🍋sucking looking grill.😐
    (happy.😹!)😹

34. Post-post modernism? Just call it meta modernism

35. i regret not seeing one of his shows before he moved away from stand up 🙁

36. Mmmmm Taco Fries! LOL

37. And run and Eric was fucking garbage

38. the number of ads in this mini doc was really distracting.

39. Did Bo think it that far thru or is wisecrack just doing what wisecrack does best?

40. I WOULDN'T GOT THE LETTUCE IF I'D KNOWN IT WOULDN'T FIT

41. it… so…much….hipsternesy post existensialism mumbo jumbo that it is almost cringe worthy, i agree with the video though but it was cale on video

42. basically, bo burnham’s work is “art and meaning is dead. fuck it, let’s make some new art and meaning
