misery

sorry, i cant today, im too busy thinking about the part of ‘inside’ where he finally goes out the door and you think its going to be the cathartic, hopeful resolution, and instead he ends up on a stage and has a panic attack and breaks down while the audience laughs at him

bo burnham’s new special is like. oh hi i’m a funny white boy singing silly little songs. btw our society is built on exploitation and violence. haha sexting still rules though. tits! human relationships have been commodified by tech companies and everything under late capitalism is an empty performance. i’m depressed btw. sometimes it’s funny though! here’s some synth pop. the world is fucking ending and a part of me wants it to. i am insane. i am falling apart. [audience laughter] [cheering]

when bo burnham said “are you happy?” and when bo burnham said “i really want to try to get happy” and when bo burnham said “im owed some life where im always like happy” and when bo burnham said “maybe life on earth could be heaven, doesn’t just the thought of it make it worth a try?” and when bo burnham said “if you want love then the love has got to come from you” and when bo burnham said “if you can live your life without an audience you should do it” and when bo burnham said

Only 1 month until Valentine's day
