Look. I think the best comedy shows leave a person's eyes wet. I'm elated after seeing this a third time, and I'm let down by the fact that I expected over a hundred reviews on this, and I only see twelve. In my ignored opinion, this special is just... underrated.
I have my own performance tomorrow and I'm watching this to help me mentally prepare. It's not going to be nearly as big of a crowd, and it's not going to on Netflix like "what." but it's my 6th performance and Bo Burnham is the ONLY guy in this world (so far) that I identify with as far as the anxiety, creativity, dark thoughts, desires to please people, and a craving to stand out and be unique for the sake of being unique not "Edgy" like another review on here says.
"Part of me loves you, part of me hates you. Part of me fears you." I'm BLOWN AWAY by how similar I feel to Bo on a personal level. I don't know if it's just something that creative people understand, but I wish everyone could understand. Cause otherwise I may as well be talking to the dang wall. It honestly makes me angry. I don't want to be angry. I want to understand why people don't like what Bo is trying to do. I want to know where people's distaste for... ANYTHING stems from, rather than be offended by their differing opinions.
I feel like "Inside" is the most relatable special he's ever done, and gets significantly more praise than his other specials, like this one. Rightfully and deservedly so, but still... I feel like I identify with this special the most because it's his FIRST Netflix special, and it's unlike any other comedy show I've ever seen. What an entrance he made with this one. His debut show, and yet, I feel like the crazy person in the room for liking it as much as I do. That's messed up.
It FEELS like an experience for me every time I watch it, and it just... bums me out that I can't share that feeling with anyone else. I hate feeling alone in enjoying something I consider to be beautifully crafted and brilliantly executed. He even uses his "awkward quirkiness" as comedy. I can't wrap my head around that! Maybe I'm naïve or even stupid, but man, I just love watching what I consider to be a REAL, be it, damaged, artist at work.
Whatever. I don't know if anyone is getting anything out of the message I'm trying to convey. I doubt this review is going to be helpful to anyone. So, bye.
If anyone is still reading this, thank you for your time.
