Bo Burnham live in Edinburgh

[wootitsbobby]

I love how the crowd is too stupid to understand half the jokes.

[LordClarkson]

Nobody makes those assumptions about Tim MInchin... He uses music heaps!

[ChelseaDKTC]

OMG this was so freaking funny

[lozzerley]

Tough crowd!

[onestrangequark]

Tough crowd.

[MrCuntyballs2U]

@invisiblepopcornmonk Socratic question is to repeatedly ask Why to arrive at the truth. Some say around six times usually does the trick.

[BAZINGA931]

audience sucks aaaaaaassssssssss...........

[TRASHYgah]

He's funny and charming, but i was distracted by the shitty audience....

[carodawo13]

He`s hott as tits

[SavantOnASpinet]

Holy shit. He looks tired as hell.

[MissWillowWillow]

Pimply fore head, it's still very hot.

[Mopthedop9]

He's great. But he needs to write new stuff. Doing the same show 10 bajilion times just doesn't cut it...

[iTommyGrissel]

I would of been laughing my ass off!!

[PNCCaine]

I'm worried does he need a welfare check?

[mustangrun173]

...tough crowd.

[MrLawesome13]

3:14 pie video :D

[yaying404]

oh my god! This guy is so hilarious!!!

[X29488]

how did he win hardly anyone was laughing?

[evenstevens280]

@X29488 British people don't go absolutely insane at comedy gigs unlike Americans.

[sonjo18]

haha no one found 9/11 joke too offensive b/c hes not in america

[Italianwhippedcream]

haha woahh the jenga one took me a second

[mushergirl]

"The average person has 1 Fallopian tube" OHMYGOD XD

[katec0]

this audience makes me ashamed to be Scottish! Bo is hilarious, and i would love to see him live

[invisiblepopcornmonk]

"that was Socrates" could somebody please explain that to me?

[SamGahaganIzSpeshol]

bad crowd i'm ashamed to be Scottish right now

[SuPeRsTaR71679051]

SO FUNNY! :D

[imjustagirl128128]

he looks so gorgeous at 0:17 omggggggggg

[dannymcc1]

@alxturner9 yeah, but the joke applies to the thing i said...

[dannymcc1]

@alxturner9 uhh it was actually more of a joke based on the common perception of quantum mechanics as being random/non-sensical

[CaptainAidan]

definitely a promising talent

[samsledje]

@alxturner9 how?

[xxTaKe2xx]

acne

[samsledje]

Does someone want to explain the quantum mechanics joke? I get all the other ones but I dont get that one.

[nulugialle]

Lol 3.14 mins long, best bo song 3.14 apple pi

[batmanseventeen]

Bo has a lot of intellectual comedy, so a majority of the people there don't even know what's funny.

[AlexLong1000]

Quantum Mechanics joke was epic.

[jkman10]

@AlexLong1000 Where was there a quantum mechanics joke?

[AlexLong1000]

@jkman10 0:51

[RoYalSmith93]

@jkman10 0:50

[badbaz83]

Criminally, Russel Kane won the Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Award instead of Bo!!!!!! Wheres the justice!!!!!!!

[HumanWeasel]

Why do all the audiences at his shows suck so hard?

Idiots.

[98eck]

The jenga joke was halarious.

[summertime421]

@Mchillax

It's called words words words!

[asdfsadcvzxcz]

oh my god when he threw the confetti i exploded

[Mchillax]

does somebody knows the name of the song with the chorus:

I hate catchy chorusses and I'm a hypocrite, hungry hungry hypocrite.

??any1?

[TheHerrel]

@Mchillax words words words

[09Chip09]

why are people showing off that they know socrates? im a philosophy student but i dont think people that havent heard of him are 'stupid'. some people just arent aware, its not a big deal and no need to show off ur intelligence

[stankypoots]

Aprox. 33.33% of the jonas brothers have diabetes

[bullazzz]

puberty's not been nice to bo..

[xBAMitsTeTx]

oh my life he is so random but it works X'D

[camferret]

This video ends in Pie

[DJSlushyIce]

this was one of the greatest standup routines of all time... until he goes "that's uh ironic, so..."

[ThatReptileDood]

Wtf.. O.O.. I used to watch this guy :D..

[littlemaskell1]

@origamiguy59 Well, that and having fucked up teeth.

[Ail3a]

@littlemaskell1 Hilarious.

[VTRLD]

Love how people are blaming others for not getting his jokes because we're British. Let's face it those jokes weren't exactly his best - of course he isn't going to get everyone laughing with this performance, it wasn't his best.

[littlemaskell1]

@caroegc it's because you don't get comedy. (Because your British).

[origamiguy59]

@littlemaskell1 ohh yeah, (take it your american) because britain is known for it's terrible comedy

[caroegc]

I wasn't offended by the Jenga joke? Am I insensitive or is it just because I'm British and don't get offended as easily as Americans?

[wtfarockfish]

@caroegc Nah, you weren't offended because it didn't happen to you. 9/11 is too close to home for many people who actually experienced it firsthand and lost friends on that day. I don't get offended by holocaust jokes, but that's because I'm not Jewish.

[iAMVyt]

@caroegc It's because Americans (I am one) have to cry and bitch about everything and show their ass and xenophobia all the fucking time. Good for you, bro. Being offended is so overrated. :D

[niel0wns]

i'm not sure of him doing stand up, i think he should just stick with his songs and do something with lonely island.

[Broskybrosk]

@niel0wns I think you should shut your whore mouth.

[sheepdog2c7]

I love Bo Burnham, I seen him live not long before he played on this show in Edinburgh, and he is by far my favourite comic in the world!

[salmanc1]

This guy is awesome. Very sharp.

[2420nathan]

I feel so bad for him cuz no one laughed and the first time I hear this act I laugh wicked loud!!

[harrisonite]

His style is a tad manic for me.

[xoxbethanyyxox]

Woah some really people stupid people here who don't know who Socrates is!

Greek philosopher BTW!

[CannibalisticTomato]

@xoxbethanyyxox we never get taught socrates, and most people dont just randomly go looking up greek philosopher's, so we're not really stupid, its obvious we dont know unless were told.

[AngelDeath777]

or who is Socrates?

[SpoilerAlert87]

@AngelDeath777 He questioned everything, hence the word... "why".

[nagromretnuh]

@AngelDeath777 he was a Greek teacher/philosopher, and to answer questions would basically ask "why" over and over again until people would answer there own questions. He was sentenced to death for "corrupting the youth"

[AngelDeath777]

@nagromretnuh

thanks 

[nagromretnuh]

@AngelDeath777 no problem. Looks like I actually did learn something from philosophy class.

[Ail3a]

@AngelDeath777 An ancient Greek philosopher. It was a double joke.

[AngelDeath777]

Whats Socrates?

[DJSlushyIce]

hes a genius with delivery

[MrCharlieDav3]

He sounds so gay!

[Triny123abc]

I wasn't really paing attention so when he got to the christion hell bit i had about a 5 sec delay untill i burst out laughing :D really funny but a bit weird!!

[sheepdog2c7]

Am I the only one who was there? (Not at that particular show, but I seen him live in Edinburgh in 2010) He was amazing and still, everytime I mention his show to anyone, I can not do so without saying that it was, without a shadow of a doubt, the "greatest moment of my life." Seeing such a joyful and hilarious person before my own eyes is something that will stay with me forever. And to think, all of this because of a simple youtube video.. Bo, please come back to Scotland :)

[GemSkyDiver]

The Quantum Mechanics song is the best!

[sambam1467]

hes so hawt

[AlexandriaSherif]

34 people don't know who Socrates is

[asipodroks]

@AlexandriaSherif and also don't know what quantum mechanics is. Bio students... pffft

[s0ciallyawkward1]

00:14 holy fuck his eyes.

[WhiteWulfComics]

horrible crowd......

[MajorComedown]

He's an incredibly tall, beautiful, man with infinite finesse with the good grace to sign both my CD's after his gig at the shithole that is 'The Hexagon' Reading. I'll be honest... If I'd died that day, the only disappointment would be from my mother having to pick me up from such a culturally vapid area with the sole advantage that it will (at least) be entirely boned should Global Warming put its chaos where its mouth is.

[MajorComedown]

@MajorComedown *and... Thwarted on the first line FFS

[MidCarpalInstability]

Saw @BiBurnham @O2SBE 18-06-2011 & He Was AMAZING LIVE :) Please Come Back To The Uk Real SOON :)

[MidCarpalInstability]

Saw @BiBurnham @O2SBE & He Was AMAZING LIVE :) Please Come Back To The Uk Real SOON :)

[SquizzleGwen]

omg that sounds so like my brain

[MrIr8urfrigginmovie]

He is one of the most funniest comedians that I have seen in a long time.

[VinnieAndZach]

@MrIr8urfrigginmovie Most funniest? Wow, he must be good.

[VinnieAndZach]

What an attractive lad.

[AvrilFreak13]

i love you Bo but if you stopped touching your head the acne wont be there! hahaha but i LOVE you BO!!!

[watchthisspacelad26]

what do you call a kid with no arms an a eye patch???? NAMES!!!!!!

[FEENIXGENIUS]

this is excellent :)

[iamadamsusername]

This next song is about quantum mechanics...

hahahaha

[joeyheartattack124]

got me at jenga.

[MajorComedown]

Small crowd with a hefty number of professional comedians, I think you'll find.

Do peeps on youtube even know what the Edinburgh Fringe is? Chances are he was knackered... It's a festival after all.

[austinthebookworm5]

did he just steal a joke from 30 Rock?

salvador dali...

[auk13films]

@austinthebookworm5 Really!? Which episode?

[austinthebookworm5]

@auk13films

I think it's Black Tie, but I'm not completely sure

[fearless13ish]

my mom was doing yo momma jokes to me... not very effective. then my sister was like to me "yo mommas so stupid!"

[andywatson932]

Everyone who thinks it was a shit audience, you have to realise this was at the Edinburgh Festival and was probably performed in front of about 200 people tops. It's not a theatre.

[padraiglalor69]

@andywatson932 eh this was in dublin, i was there and the crowd was better than most videos ive seen of him live, we just dont sing along like every airhead american, he looked grand and no he was not on drugs

[melody468]

0:16 omg...

[Charsept]

great audience >_>

[1991nadia1991]

Good lord that crowd sucks!

[EmeraldSky33]

@2pac0110

I've seen him live, and I laughed so hard I almost threw up. His timing is off in this clip, but the crowd also isn't good.

[Bright1592]

He has acne on his forehead because of his hair. Hair hold tons of grease, and when it hangs in your face that grease gets into your pores.

[husky7876]

@Bright1592 yussss finally somebody understands



[PunkNolife]

@Bright1592 There are easy ways to prevent the pores getting blocked though lol

[Designedbydeath]

ya that crowd sucks

[andywatson932]

@Designedbydeath You say that, but this was filmed at the fringe at what I imagine is a tiny venue at like 2 in the morning. I saw him there in a room that held about 50 people.

[girlsbdfa]

wow the crowd sucks

[WeWillNotGoQuietly]

@girlsbdfa Theres about 50 people in the room? You expected a massive thunder of laughter?

[krewxskate]

Bo's got a tough crowd here.

[agieeegurl11]

your mother's breasts sag with such severity that the late great surrealist artist salvador ali mistook them for clogs.

[ericsterwerf]

@agieeegurl11 *Clocks

[agieeegurl11]

@ericsterwerf oopsie xD

[ilikeRobots123]

@agieeegurl11 Um, it's clocks....

[agieeegurl11]

@ilikeRobots123 um, i know that now cause another person pointed it out. when he says it it sounds like clogs cause he says it quietly. ljhljwkehfljkq.

[shiftrfan]

Jenga is the game with lots of thin wood blocks stacked into a tower and you pull pieces out 1 by 1 until the tower collapses and you lose.

[7CellarDoors]

What is a "Jenga"?

[Js5s141]

@7CellarDoors It's a game where you stack up wooden blocks, then you pull them out one at a time and eventually it will fall over. Whoever made it fall by removing a piece loses the game. Because it's a tower that falls and it's on 9/11 there lies the joke.

[Jword2theMword]

All his spots for the people who comment about them its called acne he is only 20

[syphonia246]

the first and only american comedian i find hilarious.

[RohanTheTeaLover]

@syphonia246 - Not a fan of Rich Hall or Reg D Hunter?! Reg is da man...

[andywatson932]

@RohanTheTeaLover

He's good on panel shows, but I saw Reginald D Hunter at the fringe last year and he was awful.

[RohanTheTeaLover]

@andywatson932 - Must've been an off day, I saw him live last year and he rocked my little socks right off...

[vanish129]

I get it: 1 to 365 games = 1 to a year

9/11 happened once on that same day...

Man, that took me a while to get lol

[GeigerGirl214]

@vanish129 There are 365 days in a year, so if you were to play jenga everyday for a year, you'd be playing it 365 times. One of those days would be 9/11.

[vanish129]

@GeigerGirl214 Oh thanks! Well I already got it anyway, the day i wrote that comment you replied on, and then on and so forth :D

[atmhso]

He's funny, but he needs to talk about whole topics more, rather than just going one-liner one-liner one-liner.

[smcconverse182]

WEAK CROWD

[MrCraigsadams]

Bo is soooo funny!!!!

[ThePhattyproductions]

arpeggio

[smiletrishalovesyou]

i hate all the bitches who comment on how stupid the audience is/how long it takes for them to figure out a joke. don't pretend you're so fucking smart; we all know it took you a long time to figure it out too.

[lemurwolf]

I like how long it takes the audience to get the "Socrates" joke XD

[arkay85]

U stoopid-ass viewers, go look up satire

[TheCasablanca707]

he just turned twenty, hes still really young...

[yuopija]

What does he say at 2:33???

[wogolfer]

@yuopija The average person has one fallopian tube

[Octamed]

Goes to show, the loud people (comments) don't reflect the majority (likes button). Just like real life! :D

[Octamed]

@D3M0N1Cangel yeah, most people need incredibly obvious sitcom style jokes so they don't have to think. That's fine, but comedians like Bo are different. If people don't think he's funny they assume he's crap, because stupid people always think they're right, ironically.

[larnasaur]

Okay, A) Bo is not on cocaine B) no one gives a shit who invented the internet, that's not even relevant so STFU. And if you don't like the video, than go away and watch something else and quit bitching about it in the comments. I think this is awesome, and people need to chill out. You're fighting in youtube comments...

[mrZZTOPPER1]

BO BURNHAM FTW!!!!

he is beast people, i hate people who say he looks unwashed.

He clearly is and he's got very prone skint o spots :/

so what he is still awesome

[TheCasablanca707]

guys, hes still a teenager. on top of that, performing has to be very stressful. keep rocking the fucking world, Bo:)

[TheScarriestPuppet]

@TheCasablanca707 ........ bo is in his 20's

[MrWwefan15]

@TheCasablanca707 he's 23 . . .

[AntiCyberGreenBunny]

@MrWwefan15 He turns 21 this year. . .

[johnleduff]

clearasil

[T4Ljams]

I love how it takes the crowd like 2 seconds to comprehend his punchline of impersonating Socrates.

[funnyfreckles123]

I find it funny that you guys think this is about race, because it isn't :D he is one of my favourite comedians and I'm from the UK. Seriously if you think comedy is about how you look instead of how you make people laugh then you've got something wrong with you :D still is funny reading these comments though!

[4stronaut]

ad performance but this kid/man is talented

[Rorxz]

I love how everyone in the comments is claiming he is one drug or another just because hes broken out in spots. You can see he has spot prone skin and this was filmed at the end of his time at the fringe so obviously hes going to look extremely tired and unwashed. Give the kid a break, you just love seeing a fall from grace, and I highly doubt that is what you're going to see here.

[drummergurl993]

@Rorxz THANK YOU. he's only 20. he's got acne. BIG DEAL.

[escapethecrash]

@drummergurl993 ya you can tell cuz hes not wearing makeup not wearing makeup, makeup, makeuhhhh... haha

[BrandonFite182]

@Rorxz lol thank you! not to mention hes still at an age where acne(sp) isnt uncommon.

[yodasodaskoda]

@Rorxz bla bla bla

[Abnersnail]

@Rorxz I KNOW! He's only like 19/20 it's ACNE!!

[Rorxz]

28 people's mother's breasts sag with such severity that the late great surrealist artist Salvador Dali mistook them for clocks.

[TheAugustobom]

This length of this video is 3.14 (Apple Pi).

[razzleNfrenz]

@TheAugustobom

thats my favorite song:)
