Intro

This is Bo Burnham

He's 22 years old

He's a male, and he looks like the genetic product of a giraffe having sex with Ellen Degeneres

He has a gigantic head and tiny nipples

He's isolated himself over the last five years in the pursuit of comedy and, in doing so has lost touch with reality

You're an asshole, Bo. You hear me?

You think you know better than me. You think you know better than everybody

You will die alone, and you will deserve it

But in the meantime you might as well tell those silly jokes of yours

See if that helps

You used to do comedy when you felt like being funny

But now you're contraction-ally obligated

So dance you fucking monkey

Dance monkey dance!

Welcome to the show, this is Bo, this is his show, and Bo likes to dance like this

Welcome to the show, this is Bo, this is his show, and Bo takes off his pants like this

Play an invisible drum

Play an invisible trumpet [trumpet sound]

Drink some invisible water

Oh shit! That water's real!

Bo wants to make you feel comfortable

Bo wants to make you feel comfortable [random voice]

Bo wants to make you feel comfortable

So sit back, relax, and enjoy a healthy dose of

Prolonged eye contact (Prolonged eye contact)

Prolonged eye contact (Prolonged eye contact)

Prolonged eye contact (Prolonged eye contact)

Prolonged eye contact (Prolonged eye contact)

Prolonged eye contact (Prolonged eye contact)

Prolonged eye contact (Prolonged eye contact)

Prolonged eye contact (Prolonged eye contact)

(Prolonged eye contact)

Prolonged eye contact (Prolonged eye contact)

Prolonged eye contact (Prolonged eye contact)

Prolonged eye contact (Prolonged eye contact)

Lick your lips to make it more comforting

Do you want to see a magic trick? (Yeah!)

Do you want to see a magic trick? (Yeah!)

Do you want to see a magic trick? (Yeah!)

Then pick a card any card-Psyche!

Magic isn't real, you idiot, read a book

Magic isn't real, you idiot, read a book

Magic isn't real, you idiot, read a book

Magic isn't real, or is it?

And at that moment, Bo's 20 year old cynicism melted into childlike wonder

He never knew there could be so much magic in the world

It's a world of possibilities Bo

What do you want to do first? Run? Yeah sure you can run

Fly? Well yeah you can fly

What? What are yo-what the fuck are you do-what the fuck are you doing?

Stop, st-stop it. What the f-you fucking idiot, stop, stop, stop

Anyways. In the distance Bo saw a beautiful fairy

A fairy so beautiful that he felt proud about being called one in high school

He then came across an old bridge with a troll standing guard

Bo knew he'd have to answer a riddle to get by

The troll spoke thus: 'Alright for the last time man I'm not a troll, I'm homeless. Ok, do you have any spare change? Ok that's a used napkin I don't want that. No no stop just you know what leave just leave please leave.'

And then as Bo arrived on the other side of the stage he saw a unicorn with five horns right in front of him

And the pentacorn spoke thus: 'Hello Bo, I've been looking for you for quite a long t-ugh!'

He was safe, for now. But the dark thoughts would soon return

It's Godzilla!

It's so hard to be a lizard

It's hard to be a lizard

Tiny arms, itchy gizzard

It's hard to be a lizard

But it's harder to segue

Is he skiing or is he in a gay porn?

Is he skiing (what) or is he in a gay porn?

Is he skiing (huh) or is he in a gay porn?

Here's a hint: he's in a gay porn

Ok Bo this miming shit is getting pretty annoying so give 'em the real thing

My voice is so fucking natural

It's naturally good

Naturally good

Naturally good

This is the end of the song and the beginning of the show

Welcome to the show

That lizard part was pretty fucking stupid

We're recording part of the CD tonight, and yeah, good to start off with eight minutes of mime jokes for the CD

I want to start off with a joke for the fellas

I don't feel like I connect with my men in the audience as well as I do with my prepubescent girls

So where my fellas at? Fellas?

Yo fellas don't you hate it when you're sucking a guy's dick and he ends up being a faggot? Am I right!?

These fucking faggots with their tasty dicks!

Alright if you'd like to leave during the show the exit signs are marked clearly in red, sort of a orangish/reddish/fiery red so we'll be fucked if we need them, but we can see 'em now!

This show is called 'what.' and I hope there are some surprises, geez. I knocked the water over by accident

He meant to knock the water over, yeah yeah yeah

But you all thought it was an accident

But he meant to knock the water over, yeah yeah yeah

Art is lie, nothing is real

So it's called 'what.' and it's about, hey cool it

He meant to knock the water over, yeah yeah yeah

But you all thought it was an

Just, take it off repeat, and it won't repeat

This is the good thing, we can edit all this in the actual CD recording

He meant to play the track again, yeah yeah yeah

But you all thought it was an accident

But he meant to play the water track again-gain-gain

Art's still a lie, nothing's still real

What's the deal with segues?

Food jokes, let's do some food jokes

How you guys doin' up in the nosebleeds, up top?

Yes, the nosebleeds where the cocaine is done

I had a hotdog for breakfast, in Madison actually this morning

And, yeah, afterwards I felt like this: whoa whoa

Because I couldn't control my stools. Alright, Jesus

For the people listening, I moved the stool around a lot

This is gonna get difficult

But I'm glad you like poop-based puns, that'll be a majority of the show, so

Never waste a moment

Every moment can become a comedy moment, see?

Thank you so much
