- Just the composition is [censored] gorgeous to look at.
- It's catchy, I'm remembering how I was during quaratine-ta.
Very accurate.
- To me, that song was just so is this real, oh, it's just this again
and then I wake up with my daughter, just kidding, I don't have a kid.
Just, you know, I mean, there's just so much
back and forth of confusion.
Talking about the confusion in life, you know what I mean?
Of what was happening at that time.
- Disassociation. Lovely, lovely, thing.
I do it all the time.
- He doesn't wanna be in the present. (laughs)
I mean, do any of us? (laughs)
- Put the camera lower. I need to stop. (laughs)
- (laughs) Looks like the YouTube thing.
- (Bo) Why do I wear jeans?
- This is gonna be a tough one to not...
- (Bo) Don't watch the news.
- I think he's just more like addressing how stupid things are,
and how we just kinda accept it as normal.
- Ooh. (laughs)
- (Bo) So if you're tired of the [censored],
the politics,
the constant arguing, (Sharon laughs)
buy some jeans!
(Danny laughs)
(Daniel laughs)
And find out why jeans...
(Sharon laughs)
are jeans.
- That was just soft porn, bro. (laughs)
- That part sent me into orbit,
where he found out his teeth were different color.
Like, they wouldn't glow.
(Danny laughs)
- (Bo) Oh! (Sharon laughs)
- Alright, the Google stuff, yo.
- (Bo) I get a lot of questions from young people,
they'll say how can I... - He's so good.
- (Bo) Create content. - That's what my house looks like too.
- (Bo) That'll cut through the noise?
And I tell them be yourself.
And if that doesn't work... (Daniel laughs)
Then be somebody else. (Sharon laughs)
Who you are... - You may suck.
- (Bo) On a fundamental sort of unchangeable level
may just be uninteresting. (Daniel laughs)
So if you're that, be somebody else, for sure.
- Right.
- (Bo) And then if that doesn't work, then go like this, ugh!
- Ugh!
- Is it working?
(Sharon laughs) (Bo yells)
- The fake ads were so funny.
Like the cliches from all the things
for advertising masculine things.
- You're watching a video about mental health,
and then you get a better health ad or something like that.
- It's like so arbitrary.
- And that's why I have an ad blocker, ladies and gentlemen!

- (Bo) What is up, welcome back to another episode of the podcast.
- This one really got me.
- (Bo) I am your host, Bo Burnham, joined in studio, as always,
by my cohost Bo Burnham. - (Bo 2) What up, what up, what up?
- (Bo) And we are two comedians who are talking [censored].
No filter, not giving a [censored] what anybody thinks.
- (Bo 2) Not a [censored].
- (Bo) And yeah, not apologizing for it.
PC culture man, it's... - (Bo 2) It's [censored] exhausting bro.
- (Bo) Right, it's [censored]
out of control. - (Bo 2) It's exhausting.
- I saw a lot of people talking about how this
is literally Joe Rogan's podcast.
- This is literally what podcasts are!
- (Bo) You can't say anything. - (Bo 2) No, 100%.
- (Bo) Literally you cannot say anything.
- (Bo 2) Literally.
- (Bo) I will try to say something right now, watch...
(Danny laughs)
- (Bo 2) Yeah, and he is trying.
- (Bo) And it's unbelievable, it's not that serious.
- (Bo 2) We're joking around, alright?
- (Bo) Also, we as comedians are philosophers.
- (Bo 2) Yes, dude! - (Bo) Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor.
We are important, history changing... - (Bo 2) We hold a mirror...
- This episode is sponsored by Manstuff Dick Spray!
Does your junk go skunk?
I'm [censored] losing my mind.
(Sabrina laughs)
- (Bo) Cultural figures, and you need to recognize that, alright?
Comedy is an art form.
- (Bo 2) Yeah, of course it is, we're artists.
- (Bo) It's an art form, and it's important
because it's one of the only art forms that is not...
- (Bo 2) Gay. (Sharon laughs)
- (Bo) No, well, we can't say that. - (Bo 2) Right, but...
- (Bo) Yeah, gay.
- Happy Pride Month!
- 'Cause in high school, that was like,
that was a term that everybody used,
but really you could just say lame, or that sucks, or whatever.
And I just love that it's,
if only there were another word we could use.
- (Bo) Not, now they're gonna come after us, right?
We're gonna get canceled. (Sharon laughs)
- (Bo 2) You homophobes! - (Bo) We're not being homophobic.
- (Bo 2) No, it's gay, just means gay.
- (Bo) If there was another word that meant gay,
that wasn't gay, we'd use that.
- (Bo 2) We would but there isn't.
- Only if there were another word we could use.
- (Bo) But yeah, so, it's really just a war on comedy.
- This is what they sound like!
- Obviously, it's just making fun of like,
some people think it's Joe Rogan,
I think it's just more of like, dudebro podcasts,
or like Barstool and whatnot,
like I think it's much bigger than just Joe Rogan.
- To me, that's so funny, because both sides are dead on right.
Do we have a cancel culture? Yes-ish. (laughs)
I think that people are getting called out way too [censored] easy.
I mean, lighten the [censored] up.
I think we've watered everything down so much,
that people are like [censored] it, we ain't taking any of it serious.
But I love that, because it's just, everything he's doing
was so [censored] dead on.

- (Bo) Hello everybody, and welcome to The Dump,
your online resource for all things
in the world of pop culture and entertainment.
Today, we are absolutely thrilled (Sharon laughs)
to be joined by the creative team behind Inside.
Gentlemen, thank you for joining me.
- (group) Thanks for having us.
- (Bo) What attracted you to this project?
(Bo speaking over himself)
(Daniel laughs)
There have been a lot of discussions in our industry.
- I love this part.
- (Bo) About the need to diversify both those in front of the camera,
and those behind the camera.
And frankly, I'm looking out at this group,
and I'm not seeing a single woman or person of color,
and I wonder if anyone wants to address that?
- Canceled!
- I feel like this is just more of a parody of like bad journalism.
- (Bo) I'll take this one, yeah.
So first of all, thank you for asking this question.
(Sharon laughs)
If you hadn't asked this question,
I was gonna ask you to ask this question,
because it's so important, so thank you.
(Daniel laughs)
Unfortunately, there are systems of power in place
that need to be dismantled.
We could, and would, and should have done better.
(Sharon laughs)
And we am, and have, and shall continue to have done,
and did and do, our doing isn't done, and our done-ing isn't did.
Okay, so know that.
- That was meta..
- (Bo) Well said, really well said.
What's next for you guys?
- (group) A vacation.
(Sharon laughs) (Bo laughs)
(Danny laughs)
- That was so scary!
(in unison) A vacation! (laughs)
- Just the satire of just the question, ugh!
- So many words, so little things said.
- The reason that's so funny is that is our society.
When you're asking a bunch of white people about diversity.
That, to me, is the drippings of the meta comedy in this.
- I love this, to see the process is just fun.
- I love how you can see him.
Yeah, he's just being like a five year old

He put so much effort into this, and I'm honestly so impressed.
- Man, talk about what an inside look into the making of Inside.
- This one felt far more personal.
'Cause like when you look at it,
you're like oh yeah, it probably took him a few months,
but not like almost a year to do this,
day in, day out, this is what he was doing.
- I like seeing how humanizing it is.
Obviously, this was already such a humanizing thing to watch,
but just to see that he's so talented,
but he still was having such a rough time putting this together.
- It's very encouraging, I feel like, for people
who also would like to do what he does,
just 'cause it's like, it shows that this is not an easy process.
There's a lot of trial and error,
and I feel like that isn't said enough.
- He knew what he wanted, but then you just see this process
of closing this gap, right?
And he starts getting there, and getting there, and getting there.
And that is just absolutely amazing,
and I'm so glad that he released these kind of
cuts and edits and things like that,
because we do get to see him closing that gap
right in front of our eyes.
I just think it's [censored] incredible.
- This is what my room looks like,
except messier. - (Bo) When I was 16 years old,
I started posting videos on YouTube.
- The man's an OG YouTuber.
- (Bo) Videos of me performing songs that I thought were funny,
that I had written.
And I performed these songs in my... - (laughs) [Censored].
Like he always undercuts his serious commentary
with some stupid [censored] like this.
- Fall sale! I would click on it.
- (Bo) In hindsight, it just seems absolutely insane,
and invasive and strange.
Soon after I posed my first couple videos,
they went viral. - And then what happened?
- (Bo) Basically within a year of that,
I started to perform comedy professionally,
and I continued doing that... - He really skyrocketed.
- (Bo) Until the age of 25. - So fast.
- (Bo) When I stopped.
There's a lot of material that I'm just really embarrassed by.
- Yeah, when you're 17, come on, now.
Oh my God, did I just [censored] a Minecraft pineapple?
- There's stuff that I'm embarrassed by,
and it's like oh my God,
did I just [censored] a Minecraft pineapple? (laughs)
- They don't have pineapple in Minecraft.
- (Bo) Didn't have that early material,
I wouldn't be where I am today, or where I was,
before I locked myself in this room,
and lost my mind.
- Very sad stuff being brought up.
- I relate, 'cause he's the one people go to for laughs,
and he's fun, but my God, he's hurting.
This is his escape, but it's also his prison.
God, that was so dramatic.
- His apology, with like, you know, what he said online,
and then also the Problematic song,
like, it just feels more like he's not trying to be sad,
and victimize himself, he's just admitting that he [censored] up.

characters and themes established by Inside,
the film you are currently watching.
- I know he's joking, but I want it.

- I think this one should have made it, personally speaking,
'cause the 40 in 2030, that was so [censored] good.
That's so good!

It could just be like a funny little song
about the joke, how did the chicken cross the road,
in a very dramatic, beautiful ballad.
Or it could be about (whispers) suicide.
- I think Inside has a very strong undertone of like depression,
and just like isolation, and whatnot.
And he kinda adds a lot of those inserts
of him just looking very unhappy.
- Because everything he's talking about is like true,
he just put it into a chicken,
and then it's like but first, the chicken's gotta cross the road,
and we go oh, hahaha, and what's that saying is like
but first, you have to take a step, right?
