Bo Burnham - We Think We Know You - Minneapolis Halloween 2010

[MusicalRose15]

I absolutely love watching these videos simply for the audience's reaction when the voices say "we think we know you"

[MestizoFilipino]

I feel like this was his way of expressing his stress of people judging him when they don't really know what it's like for him.

[NotTooComplicated]

To be honest, you've done a pretty good job letting the world get to know you through your art. I think I know you.

[NotTooComplicated]

Lol, Bo can hire me to just hangout with him and i'll intimidate anybody from coming up to us.

[Sinistuhr]

Bo looks at himself as the lonely kid, the kid no one cares about, or I think he does, but we all love him. I do.

[Ovie8Beckham23]

his songs are really touching.

[JaredLetoFanGirl97]

use snow at 3:27 it gives it a nice little effect.

[me4151]

its a beautiful artistic psychotic breakdown...

[me4151]

its a beautiful artistic psychotic breakdown...

[skghtbyn]

This is ART.

[IGuessImJustABoss]

This is my favorite song by him. Does this count as a song? I don't know. But it's really deep.

[ParillosCovers]

This is about those people who come up to the famous people and say "Hey bro! Remember me? I was like your best friend in high school." and it happens to most famous people, people coming up to them and saying that. I bet it is very annoying.

[preetyflyforawifi]

HOW THE F*CK WAS BO BURNHAM NOT POPULAR AT SCHOOL?

[Itrololollotz]

Fuck Satan, JEEEESSSUUUUUSSSS

[raenaluvstwilight]

I love this, Bo is so cool. :3

[themanyfacesofL]

Was at this show! Lol!

[bmcD1408]

It was a typo, your all idiots for commenting on it.......get a life

[psyguysays]

@bmcD1408 "You're," not "your."

[Sclark369]

@bmcD1408 the keys "A" and "I" are really far apart

[manning181016]

Jeeeesus!!!!

[lynn3662]

I like the person at 2:39 who claps like a chicken (:

[michiganfan725]

aye em satin lawrd uf darknis

[muusicfahreeksmiles]

He can make his audience feel any emotion he wants them to. He can make them see his vulnerable side, his humorous side, his serious side.. anything. He is a true artist. Maybe the last one left. Kudos, Bo. I wish there were words for me to express how much respect I have for you. I only wish I really DID know you.

[chickensarecool01]

my poor bb :(

[BlubberyNuggets64]

My perspective about Bo changed as soon as I heard "Art is Dead." Every serious song he does makes me want to give his tall, sweet ass a hug. </3

[karite2]

Satin...such a nice fabric.....why so dark? o-o

[MrsOmnomnomers]

After hearing them say  "We think we know you" can't laugh when I watch this anymore because the meaning of this song and his expression are so serious and kind of sad :(

[MrGigg1es]

im guessing the guy that doesnt like this video is the one callin bo fag

[DeathbyChocolateify]

Beautiful

[CayleyMae23]

what did it say when he pointed up?

[thedsdotcom94]

@CayleyMae23 I'm JEEEESUUUSSSS

[SamuelArthurDay]

@CayleyMae23 " JEEEESUS!!"

[THEBIGEGGPLANT]

i honestly thought he was a comedian. sure it has its funny stuff but its actually pretty sad. but this is still his best song

[564guy1]

It's great and all, but I hope that he doesn't get too brooding or emo between nerds and this.

[Kijar333]

I live in Minnesota, wish I went there...

[AlexDelesky]

How come the first two comments I saw spelled "satan" wrong?

[ButMadNNW]

@AlexDelesky Well, not all YouTubers are known for their intelligence. ;-)

[acephantom903]

@AlexDelesky Maybe he doesn't like the fabric? :3

[AlexDelesky]

@acephantom903 lmfao what does that have to do with spelling satan wrong?

[acephantom903]

@AlexDelesky Maybe he is saying the fabric is the lord of darkness? lol Ozzy must be turning in his grave. XD

[AlexDelesky]

@acephantom903 LMFAOO ohh i get it. clever!

[TheOwenRiley]

"i am satin lord of darkness" i laughed harder at that then anything Ive every laughed at in my entire life

[belikeacloud32]

JESUSS!!!

[lalasong140]

This is amazing.

[Codysshortz]

You ever wonder if you could handle the stress that Bo handles every day???....I love Bo as a comedian I just hope that he doesn't break under pressure and change his comedy...

[funinthesun525]

genius.

[Guitar8Jay]

I'm pretty sure he did all the voices. Like the "Mr. Burnham" one sounds like Santa from the Rehab Center for Fictional Characters. Anyway, I don't know what it is about this song, but it'd inspirational. Although he doesn't say it verbally, you can tell he's saying "no you don't."

[Itsraininbutterflies]

Good lord (or should I say "Jeeeesuuuuus!") he is so talented. It's amazing of what all he comes up with. Oh how I love him (:

[LittleMissCullen123]

he's so hot. and hilarious. and just... omg.

[Creaturefiend1]

I AM SATAN LORD OF DARKNESS.

[PatersonFinest]

Dude is a freakin genius!

[virginwhitesnow]

This makes me feel sad and strangely inspired. He's made it this far despite the stress of it all and he's doing what he enjoys. I really look up to this guy.

[TheMJBvlogs]

Anyone know the tones and chores hes using during the piano parts?

[killbarney64]

@TheMJBvlogs I'm not sure which part you're referring too, but since its all basically the same chord progression, the chords are: B major, D minor(inverted so its A D E), G# major, and C# minor(following the same pattern as the D minor.)

[killbarney64]

@TheMJBvlogs B flat major for the first chord. Sorry haha =P

[becauseimabigdork]

This is extremely creative and amazing.

[BelladonnaRantsAgain]

You have to siultaneously admire him mand feel bad for whim while watching this... He's such a crazy-amazing artist. <3

[jbeans107]

All the assholes that made fun of him in high school must really feel like dicks now.

[SeeThroughWindows]

this really shows what the dude goes through. its gotta be stressful.

[hecticbeetle]

@SeeThroughWindows Just fyi all the voices are recorded by him

[seanfleming2]

@SeeThroughWindows oh yea, SO STRESSFUL

[merin1994]

one person thinks they know bo burnham...

[allisonxnosilla]

chills.

[jd22324]

This just shows how amazing of a musician he is. I have no doubt in my mind that he arranged all by himself. He is an inspiration.

[InsaneShannon]

This song is so amazing. No-one really knows you 100% apart from yourself. No matter how close some people are.

[spoonmanu8944]

Oh wow... When I first heard him mix the voices into "we think we know you". It really touched me and I think it let's you into what goes on in bo's head and gives you hints about his past. Like the girl voice... She ignored him in school but now that he's made something out of himself and has money she's all over him. Bo's come a long way and I think this song shows it

[lillybellwon1]

This song makes me want to cry.. :(

[SunnylnScottville]

I can't wait for "People Like Me"

[bmcD1408]

I am satin lord of darkness hahahahahahahahahaha

[bass518man]

@bmcD1408 Satin, Lord of darkness here, to steal all your fabrics

[0N1L1NK124]

@bass518man Dude.. You win so fucking much. <3

[SgtGlue]

@bmcD1408

"Satin" Thats a hilarious typo.

[MrHottwheels4]

@bmcD1408  I am "bmcD1408" lord of the dyslexic people!

[THEBIGEGGPLANT]

@bmcD1408 satin is a cloth isnt it

[ballsyballsyman]

@bmcD1408 i also like the fabric "satin" in a dark color

[StuartTheScot74]

@bmcD1408

You're satin? I hate satin.

[imbosho]

@bmcD1408 ALL FEAR SATIN THE MIGHTY PASHMINA OF DARKNESS!!

[AboyNAmEDsued]

@bmcD1408 well at least you're comfortable, satin.

[WhiteSquintHeabBean]

@bmcD1408 You're the lord of nice fabric?

[ColeTheUber]

@bmcD1408 Satin is nice, but calling it the "Lord of Darkness" is going kind of far

[edaj1990]

incredible

[Hollololoway]

I hope this is on the new album, although I'm not sure if it would work without the visual

[KatsinaUK]

this is genious. how anyone could dislike this baffles me!

[archiefan118]

@KatsinaUK its cuz that one person missed the like button :)

[bluepinky45]

Jaw dropped 

[velocitRain]

well it sems like 1 person is a communist

ahahaha

[tinkerbellgirl922]

EPIC!!!!!



[coolcam28]

This needs to lead into an amazing rap, and put on his rap album that i know is gonna be amazing aswell :)

[shoccershark]

1 person thinks he knows Bo

[xogennaxo]

i love him. am i the only one who thought this was deep? haha. <3

[froggyparty96]

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus!

[RazorRomsLPChannel]

am i the only one who is not coordinated enough to do some of the hand movements

[Swimswimswim99]

Good video. Why was Jesus gay?

[myxxnamexxis13]

REALLY nice transition.

[EmeraldFlame96]

THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING BO BURNHAM VIDEO EVER! <3

[chickenmcnuggetsftw]

JEEEESUUS!

[Safetylast08]

Incredible collaboration.

[ChillociRaptor]

Only one dislike !!! What a douche

[xxExpectxNothingxx]

"im jeeesuuuss" hahahahh, i love this. i want to see him live so bad, man.

[salo73]

i can't stop, i'm the guy who smokes pot, but hates cops because they bust people for smoking pot, even though i know that smoking pot will make ye relax when there are things to put effort towards, if ye like but if ye don't, then fuck the fact that human beings are now only used, and being is not enough to be grieving for, to lose it, who gives a damn? me! but who gives a damn, if i am god and in control and you are all my inner conflicts then what to do to the things that i love, i love you i

[fearless13ish]

@salo73 says the guy on pot, u should really stop cuz it seems like thats not the life u want to live. nothing good comes out of it besides excaping ur worries. but when in reality evryone else is worried about u. wondering if ur gunna OD somethime soon. to there relief u made it out alive but for how long will u stay that way?some things never change but some things have the oppertuity to change sooo why not take that chance? unless u just coppied and pated this...

[salo73]

@fearless13ish :) thanks, bo inspired that one, circular humor, and self-destruction observation, but its all so beautiful, blesses,

[fearless13ish]

@salo73 what this song, or what i said, or what u said??? sorta confused here..

[mustangrun173]

@fearless13ish you can't OD on pot.

[fearless13ish]

@mustangrun173 kind of. if u smoke it enough ur lungs turn black and tarry. then u get lung cancer and end up dying if u dont get the right treatments soon enough. is that considered OD'ing?

[CravenMoorhead1]

@fearless13ish No. That's considered dying of cancer you fucking moron. That's like saying people have overdosed on cheeseburgers because they had a heart attack.

[fearless13ish]

@CravenMoorhead1 and what gave u the cancer? smoking u fucking retard. thats why it says "may cause cancer" and what does cancer do? kill u. so stfu and no its not like eating cheeseburgers and then having a heartattack. nothing like that. cuz on the cheeseburger it doesnt say "might cause cancer" it says how many calories are in it. and cheeseburgers arnt addicting unless mcdonalds or somebody puts addatives to it. so you are a "fucking moron"

[CravenMoorhead1]

@fearless13ish Well marijuana is about as addictive as fast food is, and there is no warning label on marijuana. So really you're a fucking moron because you thought cigarettes and weed are the same thing. Oh and I'm pretty sure if you asked any doctor what would happen if you ate a lot of red meat or greasy foods such as cheeseburgers, he'd say that it might cause heart problems in the future. Also not everyone dies from cancer. Your stupidity is astounding.

[fearless13ish]

@CravenMoorhead1 i never said i think cigarettes are the same this as marijuana, i never said that fast food didn't cause heart problems,and i defiantly didn't say that everyone dies from cancer. i'm not as "astoundingly stupid"as u might think.i know a lot about drugs my brother does them and smokes.so i defiantly know the fucking difference. and i said that cancer can lead to death mostly cuz its obvious and cuz my uncle died from it. so how about shutting the fuck up about my intelligence?

[CravenMoorhead1]

@fearless13ish If you would just reread your previous comment you would realize that you did imply all of those things. Congratulations on knowing someone who does drugs, I know plenty, but that doesn't make me a genius on drug culture. I know a doctor and freshwater biologist too, so according to your logic I must know plenty on both those scientific fields. The fact that you thought that getting lung cancer from smoking could be considered overdosing makes you a giant fucking idiot.

[fearless13ish]

@CravenMoorhead1 I WAS ASKING IF IT WAS OVER DOSING U MORON. and i wasnt even talking to u at first. u fucking retard. Why do u insist on being a jackass? you need to calm the hell down.And stfu like i said before. i do not care if its considered od'ing or not. i just know its not good for u, which is why i dont do it. and i know plenty of other people in those fields. im on the A honer roll so you can stop calling me a fucking idiot because its obvious im not one. you need to calm the hell down

[CravenMoorhead1]

@fearless13ish I am very calm. I also like how you imply just because you're on the A honor roll you must be smart. You can't even spell honor dude. Your comment was so stupid I couldn't help but reply. One more thing, you should look up the medicinal effects of marijuana. It's not necessarily all that bad for you. I'm going to guess you're around fifteen or sixteen years old?

[fearless13ish]

@CravenMoorhead1 yes saying fucking is very calm. and please dont say "dude" its really old and lame and sounds bad. besides its annoying. nah im not gunna look up the mediical effects of marijuana cuz i dont care. and its the internet i dont HAVE to get every word i spell right. i save that for when i am in school. Its not bad for u if ur 1) depressed 2) you have cancer {only if the doctor prescribes if to u} 3) If u dont want to be in reality cuz ur a loser. and yeah im around that age.

[CravenMoorhead1]

@fearless13ish This conversation is over. Have fun growing up.

[fearless13ish]

@CravenMoorhead1 thanks! finally. ive only been telling u to stfu for idk days?

[UnholyGrazer]

@fearless13ish Wow, childish, you have been telling someone to shut the fuck up for days, that is so idiotic for two reasons, one, why would you be telling someone to shut the fuck up, they aren't talking, they are typing, and the other reason is, you spent days arguing, and for what cause or achievement?

[fearless13ish]

@UnholyGrazer That was 3 WEEKS AGO! I barely even remember that conversation. Check the date. I am not lying. I'm really sorry if you were to annoyed to look past all the comments. Either way I really do not care. Yes i did spend days arguing because i was trying to get my point across. And my point was for him to stop replying to me. In other words to: "shut the fuck up." You seriously spent your time reading all of those even thought you thought it was "childish?" haha how LAME!

[UnholyGrazer]

@fearless13ish No I just ready the last one, not all of them.

[fearless13ish]

@UnholyGrazer Ohhhh. So you dont know what were talking about? then why call it childish?

[UnholyGrazer]

@fearless13ish The concept of arguing with someone you don't know is childish. Why waste your time?

[UnholyGrazer]

@fearless13ish Revert back to my first post.

[fearless13ish]

@UnholyGrazer Yeah i guess that is childish. But why cant i be a child when i am one? Im not a total child though. Ive been through way more then you know.I dont really think you want to know just how much ive been thru.You dont want to know what i have to remember everyday.And you know why i think you don't want to know?Because you think your so much better then me.I am so tired of people expecting me to be grown up when im still young! I dont care anymore.ESPESIALLY not of what u think of me!

[UnholyGrazer]

@fearless13ish lawl, derp ive been through a lot derp.

[fearless13ish]

@UnholyGrazer What is lawl and derp? And yeah i never said you havnt been thru a lot. What have you been thru thats soo bad?

[UnholyGrazer]

@fearless13ish I havnt, im just making fun of your misfortune, its funny.

[fearless13ish]

@UnholyGrazer your a fucking jackass. GOD who the hell does that?!?! I watched my best friend die! Have you ever seen someone die? It sucks. My uncle died. My dad left me. HE didnt die no he just left me. That hurts a whole lot more. So STFU you retard. I dont care if saying that doesnt make any sense. Your a fucking jackass who NEEDS to stop talking like you know everything and the whole fucking World revoloves around you. All you are is Concieted.

[UnholyGrazer]

@fearless13ish umad? lawlawlawlawlawl

[fearless13ish]

@UnholyGrazer ummmm no shit. saying stfu, jackass, and fucking doesnt tip u off that im mad??

[UnholyGrazer]

@fearless13ish lawlawlawlawlawl if you learn one lesson from this, this is the internet, calm down fag, so your moms dead or w/e big deal, learn to be a man, or woman whichever.

[fearless13ish]

@UnholyGrazer MY MOMS NOT DEAD. I never even mentioned her. HOW STUPID CAN YOU GET?!?!

Im already as mature as i want to be so w/e. BYE.

[UnholyGrazer]

@fearless13ish Oh sorry, your uncle, also funny lawl

[fearless13ish]

@UnholyGrazer Usually when someone says bye it means either "shut up i dont want to talk to you" or "bye for now" I MEANT THE FIRST ONE... and still mean it. and no you are not sorry. AND I REALLY DONT CARE.

[UnholyGrazer]

@fearless13ish yeah, usually, but you're still responding, you lose.

[Hemphill1995]

He is such a genius it actually is a serious issue for him. It's actually one of the most intelligent things I've ever seen.

[lma2oo9]

this song rite here is prob one of the million things tht go thru his head. I LOVE THIS BIT MAN!

[NeverShoutNikkii]

i love his little head sway :)

[CartomartaKenDoll]

OH MY GOODNESSS!

[funnywoman18]

i love thisss ahh

[iScreamPWN]

310-555- umm fngnerrdfne

[lah287]

bo's songs=BOner!!!!

[0ZOMOZ0]

This is hilarious, but I can't help but feel bad for him. I wouldn't want to deal with the cancer of a fan base that he has.

[WhyNotVictoria]

I find this absolutely incredible. I am quite sure this is my favorite bit that he does at his shows. Whether intentional or not (though it most likely is), it is completly true. Those fans that scream "I love you" during his act do only "love" him for his attractive face and raunchy, outgoing attitude (hence his response of "that's superficial"). That my two cents, and I have nothing against those girls or guys or whoever who do yell out i love you during his show, because I might do it too.

[shockolatedolphin]

OHMYGOSH. Bo, stop being so awesome. You're making my pants wet!

[xAshleyVicious]

i saw him yesterday and he did this. It was really awesome and well done but kinda depressing?

[lilbluehersheykiss]

@xAshleyVicious not everything he does is mindless laughter.

[theghoulnerd]

i seen him about 30 minutes ago lol i gave him a hug and he smelt nice XD

[moiiirarose]

JEEESSUS

[xSKULLBUSTAx]

hell yah this is awsome

[r0bbi3ful]

so awesome, this and art is dead are my favorite

[KAiROKiller]

well jeeeesus beats satan :P



[neouselly]

It's ironic, the people who laugh are who this song is for.

[Tarquinist]

@neouselly Everytime l listen to this and here them laughing I get slightly angry

[qOrlandoLuvrQ]

@Tarquinist whenever they laugh i get extremely angry. while art is dead is a serious but vaguely amusing song and i can understand some giggles, this one is entirely serious and meaningful and should not be laughed at.

[VxiceheartxV]

@Tarquinist Seems to me if he didn't want some laughs he wouldn't have pointed down.

Bo's work has always been funny with serious undertones or serious with funny undertones, but the funny is always there. You can't fault people for laughing when an artist deliberatly puts funny undertones into their work, no matter how serious the meaning really is. I like Bo because he makes me happy, like he's saying, there's nothing too serious to laugh at. Thats just what I get out of it though.

[StevenCasteel]

caught this from the bo reddit answers.

[OhxXxSnap]

I am satan lord of darkness!

[RandomSmiles14]

Excellent transition sir(:

[ButMadNNW]

@RandomSmiles14 "Why, thank you," she said.

[RandomSmiles14]

@ButMadNNW *Correction!* Excellent transition Ma'am(:

[ButMadNNW]

@RandomSmiles14 ;)
