  • admiral asshole got shitted on by the faggot

  • Thumbs up if he's got your back :)

    Thanks Bo

  • I'm 19, turning 20 this year and still go through this shit. I'm sick of it and want to end it all. My life's miserable, i'm not a kid anymore and i've never experienced any happy memories because of what people have done to my confidence, making me want to barely leave the house. This gives me hope.

  • about 342902385902385902 times more empowering than Selena Gomez or fucking Glee telling me I'm a special snowflake

  • When is his new album going to come out??? This is suppose to be track 5 on it

  • @AdmiralAnon it's people like you that made my middle school and high school life a living hell. I was the kid trying to help people getting picked on, but in return got called a fag and a loser. I can't believe how ignorant you are towards people's feelings. It's people like you who make people want to kill themselves. Please check yourself and think about other people's feelings for once in your pathetic life.

  • at three p.m. i pause, that shit sounds like applause.

    fucking love that part <3

  • I honestly think bo got picked on in school. But it gives him so much passion

  • @Smalls He probably did, but look at him now. Just imagining the faces of kids that bullied Bo when they see how successful he is makes me laugh

  • "I know its bad kid, I got your back kid."

    I really, honestly believe that he cares. Such a great song :]

  • very happy he brought up cutting.. its a big issue.. hes my idol <3

  • When I heard 'Art is dead' I thought I couldn't possibly respect Bo Burnham any more. I stand corrected.

  • @LeAwesomeful

    WHAT! Why did so many people like this comment! 'Art is dead' was my favourite of Bo's songs! The 'artist's confession' of his struggles between egoism and artistic integrity. I totally respected Bo after that song 100%. I can't believe I read that. Am I the only one that loved it?

  • @TullyBuddy My point is not that 'Art is dead' is not an absolutely amazing song, because it is. I'm just saying that this song is differently amazing, and because so few people with fame/influence, as Bo does, directly attack the issue of bullying. Sure they might do a "bullyings not ok" ad or something, but this directly adresses the problem. 'Art is dead' is a confrontation of his own struggles and issues. 'Nerds' is a confrontation of not only his own, but other peoples struggles and issues.

  • @LeAwesomeful I feel that! I agree, but to say you couldn't respect him for 'Art is dead' sends a different message. Great song though, totally agree :)

  • @LeAwesomeful Actually, I find Art is Dead very inspiring. May I ask why you lost respect for him after that?

  • @WonderfullyKaylee No he respected him more from that

  • @AquadianEffect Oh wow, I get that now.. Oh my god, I feel so stupid now.. ._.

  • @WonderfullyKaylee A few people seem to be misinterpreting my comment. What I meant is that once I heard 'Art is dead', I respected Bo Burnham so much there is no way I could respect him any more than I already did. Not that I stopped respecting him. That is impossible.

  • ...when does this come out. Ive been listening for 2 months straight now. I need it.

  • @mackenziecarraher

    While I do agree with that, there's a bigger issue than that at hand. Point is, people have killed themselves over crap people say on the internet. It's not right that people get away with it, and I for one want to let anyone who is under attack know we got there back.

  • I can't even listen to this song without crying, but I love it. It is so amazing<3

  • @AdmiralAnon hey admiral anus why don't u just shut the fuck up and delete ur comment

  • I hate when people r always fighting on here! U people need to get a fucking life!

  • @AdmiralAnon Your words mean nothing. You just sit at home on your computing talking trash about good people, only getting up to use the bathroom, which must take a while considering how much crap your full of. But you know what? I think I can sum up in a poem

    Go ahead and talk your sh*t

    But we're not gonna sit and listen to it

    Go ahead and talk your smack

    And while your at it ask your mom for another snak-pak

    If you're going to make everyone's life Hell, than maybe you should go there.

  • Hey dislike bar, why u hidin?? u sad bro?

  • Im with @CrazymasTV on this. We got your back @bluslice1 ok? We got your back :) I went through a time when I had a lot of trouble with cutting and all kinds of crap was happening in my life. This song is amazing. It makes me PROUD to still be alive in this world. Im going through some crap now, but knowing that Ive been through worse, and there r people like Bo, and people who agree with this song, keep me going.

  • @IfLaughsCouldKill Thanks(: and don't ever think about the bad things just the good(:

  • 0:15 caught me off guard, i though my computer was overheating.

  • it may seem drastic, or silly or stupid to you, but this song was there for me when i was in a dark place and without it i could be dead. i'm the spastic fat chick who sits in the back with no one to do her lab with. but while he doesn't even know my name, bo saved me. thing song.. it showed me that i'm not alone and people go through the same thing that i do. i can only hope that one day i can begin to thank him for everything he's done for me. i know it's bad kid, bo's got your back kid.

  • Are you serious man? I'm sticking up for a person and that type of person I bet you pick on in or out of school. You fucking piss me off. I hope you realize what @blueslice1 meant sometime.

  • @CrazymasTV

    Trust me, I only picked on people who deserved it.

    If you don't pick on people who are socially retarded and don't even try make friends, how are they going to learn?

    If you pretend its okay that they're retarded at making friends, don't expect them to get far in life, in a job etc.

  • @AdmiralAnon Man no. You don't pick on them you tell them they are doing something wrong. The kid said he was gonna kill himself. You called him a faggot. You should of said instead of picking on him is hey man thats a bad decision. Never pick on a kid man you dont know what could happen. @Juliuspaulfrank Its ok just remember there are many kids wanting to help you just some of them don't have the guts too from the people their friends with because their friends might pick on you.

  • @AdmiralAnon how do you live with yourself? what logic does this comment make? I have friends. I dont have that many because i dont like people i am happy to just have two friends. Does having two friends make me socially retarded? No. People love to talk to me because i make them laugh, i dont like to talk to them because they picked on me years ago and now pick on people. I might be short and skinny but im the captain of my soccer team, and one of the co captains for the wrestling team.

  • @AdmiralAnon I hated people like you and at one point in my life, i felt like suicide was the only option to get away from you. Then i realized that it feels great to make people laugh, and now thats what i do. I really hope the best for you, such as getting cancer or some other mortal sickness bc so far all you have proved is that you are some bastard breathing my air and drinking my water.

  • @bluslice1 Thanks bro cause you're making me laugh. Good job.

  • @AdmiralAnon Really? Your the retarded one... just stop?

  • @bluslice1 Keep doing what you do man don't let anybody change you

  • @AdmiralAnon Im sorry but your an idiot

  • @AdmiralAnon How are they going to learn? Maybe by being NICE to them and BEFRIENDING them and teaching them NICELY how to be more social. Picking on them will just make them shrink further into themselves. I personally don't try to make friends with idiots like you. Does that make me "socially retarded"? You MAY be trying to 'help' them, but all you're doing is making them less confident in themselves, because I'm sure you're not using constructive criticism.

  • literally makes me cry

  • when does his new album come out?!?!?!

  • Comment removed

  • He is really good live!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Bo,

    I know you won't read this but I just wanted to say this. All of my life I have been called a faggot, queer, spaz, and retard. I honestly thought of suicide. I changed my mind when I became funny and wasn't tormented every day. I became funny because of you. I'm a short wirey kid. I'm still called a fag everyday, but I make jokes about it and laugh it off. I'm only 14 and have years to improve on the art but because of this song, this very song I want to become famous. Just so I can meet y

  • @bluslice1 Shut up faggot.

  • @AdmiralAnon Hey Fuck you man did you just read what this person typed. That should mean something to you. You probably one of the cool kids who think their funny but your not. I am a popular kid but I see what it is like to be a "nerd" and I stick up for them for what they go through. And there not even nerds they are people who are known as them because they dont have as many friends.

  • @CrazymasTV Your also a person who disliked this video because you think its funny and doesnt mean anything when it means way more than you think. People even commit suicide from this even @blueslice1 almost did. Think about what you said and remember it man peace. @blueslice1 I got your back kid.

  • @CrazymasTV

    Why are you being so whiny?

  • @bluslice1 Keep your head up kid, life can be shit sometimes, but you don't get another chance. One shot is all you got. Don't be another statistic, change the fucking world. Good luck.

  • @weareallanon im glad to know that there are good people in this world, thank you

  • @bluslice1 It's strang how much your story reminds me of myself. I'm not trying to steal your thunder in any way, but I to am the typical 15 year old faggot, until I got funny, and people started to see me as more than a stupid gay. It was all thanks to Bo. Just wanted to give my input. But stick with it my friend, we will make it:).

  • @bluslice1 Some of the comments you've been getting are just completely illogical. Some people are just straight out odd... Thanks for sharing your story. Take care.

  • can't wait for the album, hopefully more songs like this show up

  • Favorite part: when he sings tge Chorous and sounds like hes gonna cry & the begginning part because thats how me and my mom fight.

  • The best part about this song is that he means every word.

  • the very end of this song just gets me everytime.

  • What about the loners? Ha, I like this song. A little aggressive but the "I know it's bad kid" part is really sweet. - 3

  • "i know it's bad kid, i've got your back kid"

    i actually find that really comforting..

  • @musicandguys2014 Me to

    dont worry

  • This is such a powerful song.

    I'm just glad someone out there has talent and doesn't only sing about sex and money, but can talk about real issues.

  • @FTB52 or do both, like do does

  • Bo's the boss.

  • 9 people don't have hearts.

  • I want to be a performer when I grow up so i can make people feel like this.

  • This just proves that art isn't dead. This is a beautiful song. My goal in life is to meet Bo and tell him how much this song means to me. I just need him to know how much his songs have helped me out.

  • Comment removed

  • the amount of likes is 1337

  • So much passion.

  • proof that he isn't just a comic genius. he's a hero too <3

  • You are my hero Bo. Enough said.

  • Can't....stop......listening!!­!!!

  • yeah the part in the end when he sings the chorus makes me bawl like a baby

  • "I know it's bad kid, I got your back kid." Shivers.

  • This is one example of why I love Bo Burnham. He is the only one who I think fully understands me and what I go through in high school with trying to fit in. He is my hero and no one can change that.

  • i got shivers!

  • WTF. I'm sure everyone on this page feels very moved when then here this rihgt???

    I did a REAL FUCKIN GOOD rhetorical analysis on this awesome song and got a C +!!!. A FUCKIN C!!! but anyways love the song .

  • @longhaireddfreak why'd u get a C? :(

  • @longhaireddfreak Not to be rude, but it probably wasn't the song that caused you to get a C+. It was probably how you wrote it...

  • @BStorff93 yeah its cool. But he told me for a fact that he didnt like the song choice to another one of my teachers. and that thats why he gave me a c. so i was pretty bummed.

  • @longhaireddfreak sorry i didnt mean "me" i meant one of my teachers

  • Hey bo, Jonah Mowry really needs your help right now. Thanks.

  • lik dis if u cry evrytim

  • @overjessicacrown i cry 5ever thas moore thaan 4ever

  • I cry every time I listen to this

  • The part where he actually sings the chorus at the end makes me want to cry.

  • I have the same shirt as him!

    

  • Pure talent.

  • Art isn't dead. Thank you, Bo

  • music to my fucking ears <333

  • 2:16 sounds similar to Idioteque.  And he move like Thom when it's happening

  • This song makes me cry like a baby.

  • am I the only one that tears up during this mixture is touching words and a gorgeous voice?

  • hes like a modern bill hicks mixed with eminem

  • I love bo as a comedian. but i want him to make more music like this. still little touches of comedy but more serious stuff like this. like this if you agree

  • @zachsurprenant you were close to getting my like until i saw you said like this if you agree :(

  • people who label him as just a comedian need to realize he is so much more.

  • it was good pretty much all he does i like

  • never thought a comedian could make me relate to a song so fucking hard... AMAZING!

  • Omg I want this song on my iPod!! The studio version! Does anyone know where I can download!?

  • @ethantylerr91 listen to youtube . com.... thts the webstie but not spaced out. you copy the URL for this video in the box. Then follow directions. But it'll be Mp3 format. So idk if it'll go to your iPod. Hope I helped.

  • No too sure the guy at :51 should have laughed... too soon man.

  • Bo Burnham commenters have the best senses of humor ever :)

  • I love the "Where the Wild Things Are" shirt.<3

  • I love how he sounds really pissed when he raps this. Super passionate.

  • Bo Burnham is the best rapper to date with how real ,and lyrically skilled he is. I wish there was some way to let him know how much his music has helped me

  • I need to make this song cleaner so I can perform it at school. A song this powerful needs to reach people who feel like no one cares. How about this? "I'm a bad kid I'm a retard I got a girl's bag an a v-card I got three friends and a bad crap ride you can judge by the cover cause it's crappy on the inside no girls talk to me, Trust me I don't really care don't adjust me Just please shut your face hole fo just one second shut up kid you're so freaking dumb" good for first verse?
  • @CodyKesPranks Yeahh(:

  • @CodyKesPranks Don´t clean the song. Fuck them up.

  • @xyugi0007 I would, but I'm sort of a nerd myself.... So I'm an overachiever, detention wouldn't look too good on my college recs ya know?

  • i think bo was the spastic fat chick... hes changed man. good for him.

  • Anyone else realize when he says "1 2 3 4 whore, SHIT! 5 SHIT i mean 6" he's talking about torrettes.

  • @zachsurprenant no hes not. he said "123 whore i mean four shit, 5 bitch i meant 6 shit" hes talking about him trying to calm down but its not working

  • @johntheeccentric I can see that accually, but i guess it could go both ways.

  • @zachsurprenant yeah. its just how u take it

  • fucking beautiful..

  • omg and so i just noticed his t shirt. I love you Bo

  • I don't understand how anyone could bully such a genius

  • im starting to go through Bo withdrawls! we need more Bo!!

  • i used to get picked on al the time in high school and didnt start sticking up for myself and not caring until i got to college. ive made friends here, and i dont feel alone anymore. but this song is in my "getting ready" playlist so that i remember who i really am. if any of my new friends act like jerks, theyll never hear the end of it from me. thanks bo <3

  • The reason why he sang this is because when he was younger, he was the one that got bullied. He got pushed around. But, look at him now (': WE LOVE YOU BO!!!!

  • your life peaked at graduation. well congratu-fucking-lations.

  • By far, this is my favourite song by Bo. i mean, i like his clever raps but this song has so much meaning and power to it, there's just no comparison.

  • Am I the only one who noticed that during this song, Bo actually had a sad expression and looked like he was singing from the heart, I was the kid who was called all of these things, still am occasionally to this day, good to know people like Bo have my back :)

  • I think that Bo is an amazing creative and hilarious genius with his songs like Words Words Words and Bo' Fo' Sho', but I think he REALLY stands out as amazing individual with songs like Nerds and Art is Dead.

  • @daMods100 No, I don't :(

  • Great song, Perfect Chorus

  • Oh, and btw, I CANNOT wait for his new album to come out.

  • I love his funny stuff, but it just doesn't get better than this. Bo, you're growing up in the very best way possible. This is amazing.

  • Where the Wild Things Are?

  • This was my life all through elementary school. It's better for me now in high school, but it's still there in part. I was convinced to play football by one of my friends, and yes football is fun, but if you become a complete tool and think that the kids who are going to be signing your paychecks in 20 years because they were hitting the books and you just spent your time harassing them, you're dead wrong. I take being a nerd over being a jock tool any day. And Bo, I thank you for this song.

  • When people ask me why Bo Burnham is my hero, I will tell them to watch this video.

  • @AidanWattTV he is mine too!!!

  • @AidanWattTV He's my idol, he teaches not jsut me but everyone that you can do anything you want, he started on youtube and ended up famous, the only difference between Bo and Bieber is that Bo hated for his fame(by haters) and Biebers famous cuz he hated

  • Bo, you gorgeous man, you talented, wonderful person, thank you.

  • bo is so amazingly dynamic. he has brilliant wordplay and hilarious songs and then he does something like this or Rant and they're so insightful and passionate.

    so. much. respect.

  • @redhedbedhed rant? i think u got the wrong song bro...do u mean art is dead? cause rant is funny bro..... not really personal

  • @deadseriousttke art is dead is great too. i love rant, i think there's some good stuff in there.

  • From Twitter:

    @BoBurnham: If I've been working on a 7 song EP for last the year, and wanted to release it for free, what's the best way to do that? hypothetically ;)

  • ASDFYHRTDGVS whens his new album coming out!?

  • @lilprplebnny idk, but he might release it for free =D

  • I love this song, but it's definitely more of an album song. Songs like "Words, Words, Words" and "Ironic" kick ass in concert, but I'd love to hear this album quality.

  • he raps like eminem when he's mad. i LOVE it.

  • @brandilynnell i agree its awesome

  • I love this song. I have a lot of hard times in school. Being bullied and picked on is never fun.. and seems to happen a lot these days.. I might not be bullied for being a nerd, but this song relates to any type of bullying in my mind. I <3 you Bo!

  • Love Bo's softer side <3 near cried at this tbh
