By now, you've figured out what's happening here. Burnham starts out his special, if not conventionally, in a way that we can understand, are comfortable with, then disintegrates into a recursive, depressive whirlpool. I thought it would be interesting to review the special song by song, becoming progressively more erratic as it goes along, eventually having an honest-to-god mental break. That's as deep as this goes.

I have seen all of the Bo Burnham specials, by the way. That wasn't a lie. His song Channel 5 news was a light for me in dark times, as weird as that sounds. home | next
