  • Squaring numbers is like having sex; if they're under thirteen just do it in your head

  • Some things are beat left unsaid but thank god there is someone like you who says those things lol love your songs bro

  • anyone else fall out their chair laughing the first time they heard this?

  • Everyone always does the statutory rape word problem, but never the one about spending free time and mealtime while on your knees. So I figured I'd step up to the plate:

    Assuming being gay and being chinese are independent, the answer is 28%.

    [10% (men that are gay) + 20% (men that are chinese) - (20% x 10% = 2%) (men that are both gay and chinese) = 28%]

  • @YouHadMeAtHeyy that really is some new math... the answer is 2%.

    20% * 10% = 2%

    just that simple

  • i need this shirt.

  • that is so confusing.

  • yes 13 mmmmmmm 13!!!!

  • Some of those were actually pretty clever. 

  • Freaking hilarious, the dude Bo, who is singing is HOTTTT :D

  • to the question about the person who is half as old as the guy who is 2 years older than the other person who is 12 how many 30 days months till its not rape my answer is 44. would make her 7 so she would need to wait 11 years there are 4 30 day months this year so i assume thats the same every year so 4 times 11 is 44 months sir! check my math! wuhahaha lolz

  • 2:38 lol, word problems! ready?

  • 3:45 - 3:50 Speaks to me.

  • @junkdiver10x Do you want to stop being so annoying and taking over the comment section? ..........Thanks

  • @Frostedfrakes777 "taking over the comment section"? Really? Look, I didn't make over a hundred YouTube accounts to like my comment over a hundred times, okay? If it's a top comment, it's because people liked it, so stop being a dick please.

  • Klinefelters....

  • CANCER! :D

  • Wait what? wait... did he just say that really happy? im confused 0:51

  • @MLGboy7thst he just made a joke about lance armstrong who had cancer and lost one of his testicles "two balls minus one, six titles at the tour de france"

  • SANTA CLAUSE IS REAL! AND A NIKE WORKERS MEAL IS A BAG OF CHIPS DEVIDED BY 6* IN FACT^^

  • And that's assuming that all of their birthdays are on the same day, starting on that day. : P You silly math trolls. Oh wait, maybe I'm the one trolling. I don't even know. New math.

  • I may be confused, but I'm pretty sure you're all misunderstanding the rape problem. He asks for how many MORE months will it be considered statutory rape, not when will it become statutory rape. The answer is 0, it's not statutory rape; statutory rape is when a person who is able to give consent has sex with someone who cannot give consent. None of them can give consent, so nobody's involved in 'statutory rape'.

  • I probably shouldn't be singing this at the top of my lungs...

  • Forget the capo, what's the 3rd chord in that progression!

  • @konsco you could just google it, but its G C Em D

  • @funwithgoats01 Em I'm dumb! Thanks

  • @konsco hehe, np :D

  • what is that last word he said?

  • @providence4946 pedophilia 

  • He's so talented!

  • How do you trace a scatterplot...give the pencil to Michael J Fox. HAHA now that's some clever shit!

  • no homo....

  • omfg....bo i missed you so much!!!!! make more videos!!!!!!

  • since you guys are actually trying to figure out the statutory rape problem, why not calculate the average age of consent within the states? im entirely to lazy to even attempt this problem so you guys can look that up yourselves. LOVE YOU BO!

  • aha we whatched this video in math class :)

  • @CoralSynchroGirl That teacher is awesome! I would love to watch this in my math class

  • I don't understand the LNX part... please explain.

  • i love how he makes that guilty 'oh well' face after he makes a mean joke

  • how do you trace a scatter plot? ya give the pencil to Michael J Fox

  • Im on the wired part of YouTube yet Again O.o

  • @gamercentral202 This is not the weird part of YouTube, dear. This is YouTube Classic.

  • this is by far my favorite song by him, i love bo

  • like if you are banging one tonight

  • He's so cute XD

  • i saw this kid in concert>.<

  • lmao! u gta be shitting me. half of the comments are explanations on EACH one of the jokes in this song. heres an idea for ya. SHUT UP. thank u for listening.

  • @insanemaggot11 Some of us like to be enlightened. Please, continue your ignorance silently. :)

  • So many people are getting this wrong, so, as a professional YouTube troll, I decided to do the research, and will enlighten you all: Bobby is 14, Tori is 12, and Kim is 7. Bo Burnham is from Massachusetts, wherein the legal age-of-consent is 16. It cannot however be considered statutory rape until the oldest (Bobby) is 18. Thus you must count the months from when Bobby turns 18 to when Kim turns 16. This is 5 years. There are 4 30-day months a year, so the answer is 20 30-day months.

  • @junkdriver10x What about if they do it in the ass?

  • @r51ocd Umm... should I actually respond to this comment?

  • @junkdriver10x Well isnt Kim still under aged?

  • @TheCivilKnight Not when she turns 16, because in Massachusetts the age of consent is 16. Thus, having sex with a 16 year does not count as statutory rape.

  • @junkdriver10x But dude Kim is 7 and is to young?

  • @TheCivilKnight Yes, she's 7 to begin with, but it's not statutory rape because no one's 18. When Bobby turns 18, Kim is 11.

  • @junkdriver10x It would be rape. Rape is the act of having sex with a male/female member without their consent. That's rape, if it is just age then it's simply being too young to have sex.

  • @IAmTHEInspector Statutory rape is when someone is too young, regardless of consent. If an 18 year old has had a 15 year old girlfriend for two years, if they decide to take their relationship to the next level; the 18 year old will be put on the sex offenders register for statutory rape.

  • @junkdriver10x Every month except February has thirty days.

  • Comment removed

  • @junkdriver10x Since I'm also a troll, I'd like to point out that we cannot accurately determine the answer, because we don't know when everyone's birthdays are. You're solving like they're all on the same day, the day you posted. If Kim turns 8 tomorrow, then there are fewer 30 day months than you solved for :P

  • @Rachelizabeth47 Yeah, I know. I just ran out of characters in my post to mention that, and you can check by copying and pasting. Truth be told, we don't technically have enough information, so the answer of 20 30 day months is the closest to a correct answer we can get without it. It's the only way to solve the problem as is. You're the first person yet to try to correct me without using pathetically pre-elementary grammar, so props, but don't think I didn't know that.

  • @junkdriver10x Haha. I believe you. And I like to be logical when I "correct" people.

  • @junkdriver10x holy shit, very good haha

  • @junkdriver10x well played, that is real trolling. :D

  • @junkdriver10x the most useless, but best math ive ever seen =]..and i always ask my math teacher when ill use this stuff in real life...now i know

  • @junkdriver10x Assuming that they are all born on the same day, yes.

  • @imonkey2096 Yeah I discussed that in a previous comment.

  • Comment removed

  • Teemup123 must be an ass

  • I've been reading through the comments and I just got MIND FUCKED.!!!!

    Wat is up with these people and doin the math.??

    Just bang a girl and listen to the song and enjoy both.!!

    I just lost 10% of my brain cells listenin to this song cause my mind was fucked so now imma loose another 10%(:

  • well thank god i'm 14 lol :P

  • wow. 1589 people accidently hit the dislike button. That sucks for them.

  • i can only "like" once

  • hahaha are you using a dava pick?

  • Tree full of Asian porn.... Genius

  • Math in science shirt.

    Fucking rebel man.

  • there's a dislike button?

  • Comment removed

  • Sounds too much like 'dance music' by the Mountain Goats really.

  • Its 132 30 day months for the threesome one

  • stupider

  • You'll have a tree, full of Asian porn

  • i would kill for that shirt.

  • Kim is half as old as Bobby who is 2 years older than 12 year old Tori... So Bobby is 14, and Kim is 7. 18-7=11, there are 365 days in a year, 11 *365=4017 (adding on 2 extra days for leap years), 4017/30= ~134, so 134 30-day months.

  • WAIT!!!! bobby is 14, tori is 12 and kim is 7???? what is he thinking? the awnser is 132 months. 18 - 7= 11 x 12= 132 months

  • I could do equations all day with this kid(;

  • my names TORI!.......im not 12.....lying bastered D:

  • i know this will sound wierd and a lot of you might be like "wtf is this nerdy chick talkin about?" but, for those of you who understand, Bo Burnham in this particular video kinda reminds me of the early eleventh doctor.

  • If there under 13 just do then in your head!

  • Well WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU when i took my Math GCSE?

  • CANCER

  • Smartest guy ever...

  • CANCER (:

  • your weird

  • My friend and I went up to my math teacher and we were like "What's a pirate minus the ship?" and he scared up by saying "Just a creative homeless guy." Then he laughed and went "Ahahaha, those songs are hilarious...I mean...You shouldn't watch them, they're very, urm, inappropriate." It was very amusing. By the way...I love your songs. ε-

  • I LOVE HIM... (not that way tho)

  • Pedophiliaaa.....

  • @seanbradfordmusic - thanks

  • i never knew 240 could be so sexy

  • @DrAnchorman It's because he has Parkinson's disease, that mean's he trembles (shake's).

  • I don't get the Michael J Fox scatter plot?

  • @DrAnchorman He's got Parkinson's. His kids call him Shakey Dad; so any lines he drew would just go friggin' everywhere.

  • C A L See You Later = calculator. that is amazing

  • this kid reminds me of the eleventh doctor XD

  • @mikayla690 You are the best.

  • I HAVE THAT SHIRT

  • I wish he still did youtube videos

  • i got my 13 year old sister that shirt for Christmas and she loved it

  • 36 Thirty-day Months is the answer

    Bobby is 2 years older than Tori who is 12, he is 14 which make Kim 7 since she is half as old as him.

    Massachusetts legal sex age:16

    it is technically statutory rape until Kim turns 16 (regardless of how old Tori and Bobby are)

    Thats a total of 9 years, with four 30-day months per year (September, April, June, Novemeber)

    4 months x 9 years= 36

    (FYI I did this because I was bored, I dont want any hate mail saying I have no life

    or that Im some pedophile)

  • @bowwow38 actually your wrong because none of them are over the legal age making it that they raped each other...... so if kim's dad/ mum wanted to sue tori or boby for sex they would have to sue kim at the same time considering none of them are over the legal age

  • @bowwow38 now figure it out for other states:D haha

  • @bowwow38 LOL 16 dam Florida's is 18

  • "Squaring is just like women, if they're under 13 then just do them in your head"

    Best sentence ever.

  • @mecheme123 My boyfriend was listening to this in class. His teacher heard that line and said "Agreed." Kinda worried now... Haha.

  • @sunraye1960 Haha.

  • @mecheme123 too bad you got it wrong

  • @MrChannelPromo What? WTF did I get wrong? There is nothing TO get wrong?!

  • @mecheme123 therres always rape =)

  • @mecheme123 Just ignore me. All i meant was you missed out a few words in your quote.

  • I love Bos face after he says "the square rute of the nba is africa in a box!"

  • I just saw you on Comedy Central on tv. Are you going to be coming out to Australia at all? I'd def come to see you

  • Actually

    only 1.024 % are gay Chinese

    given that 10% of men are gay and 20% of the world's population is Chinese, since Chinese included both males and females we can isolate the males using gender ratio 105:100 or 1.05:1 males to females we would get 51% males and 49% females. Times 0.51 or 51% to our 20 % Chinese population and we get 10.24 % of the would population is a Chinese male then times 10.24 % (male Chinese) to 10% (gay population) 10.24/100 X 10/100 = 102.4/10000 or 1.024 %

  • @teemup123 new math lol

  • @teemup123 O_O i has be confused

  • @teemup123 but he says 20% of MEN are Chinese, not 20% of people are Chinese, so there's really no need to figure out this problem with the gender ratio. It's still 2%.

  • @LifeInInfrared

    hahahahaha

    sorry about that

    i find number fun and got abit carried away xD

  • @teemup123 nope he said if 10 percent of MEN are gay and 20 percent of MEN are chinese therefore he isolates men and the awnser is 2 Percent. Also "gay" originated as a slang word for homosexual which can mean either men or women homosexuals.

  • @TheSicklish

    hahahahaha

    thank you for pointing it out. xDD

    some times it is simply fun to work out numbers.

    got abit carried away, sorry xPP

  • @teemup123 I don't understand why you did this, Bo said 10% of men are gay and 20% of men are Chinese.

  • @ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZACK

    Hahahahaha

    Its winter break and Im bored at home. xDDD

    I enjoy applied math and got abit carried away. ^ ^

  • @teemup123 i dont understand 0_0

  • @teemup123 thumbs up?

  • @teemup123 That puts the Chinese homosexual male population at 1,368,799 according to about.com's total Chinese population

  • @teemup123 Someone has A LOT of time on there hands.

  • @teemup123 assuming that gay does not reffer to lesbians as well, and is not being used as slang for homosexual

  • @teemup123 He says "20% of MEN are Chinese so you don't get to divide it by half"

  • @teemup123 stfu

  • Comment removed

  • @teemup123 get a fucking life

  • @paulyg11 lol he is wrong anyways so let him have his fun

  • @teemup123 no is 10% of men are gay the chance would be 1 and 10 the Chinese part is irrelevant.

  • @teemup123 Sorry but this incorrect. He said that 20% of MEN are Chinese, so the chance that a man chosen at random spends his meal time and free time while on his knees is actually 2% or 1 out of 50.

  • @teemup123 you got it WRONG. is doesn't say 20% of the population is Chinese, instead he says 20% of men are Chinese. so (1/10)x(1/5) = (1/50) or 2% chance that an man chosen at random will spend his meal time and free time while on his knees.

    Nice pointless math,

    upsetting so many people thumbs up whatever bullshit people spew out without thinking about it.

  • @MrDodgeball18 @insanitys928

    I understand your point, after all he did say 2% of MEN xDD

    I got carried away, it is fun calculating numbers. :)

  • @teemup123 he never said 2%. wrong again

  • @teemup123 Nope, he said %20 of men are Chinese.

    :D

  • @teemup123 you are gay as fuck

  • @teemup123 you lost me at actually -_-

  • G, C, G, D and G, C, Em, D. Watch for changing patterns.

  • i honestly cannot wrap my mind around this boy not getting any in highschool

  • LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • A good way to tell you're good at maths is if you understand this song.

  • This guy is brilliant, he knows what he's talking about. 

  • Try to sing 1:36 to 1:43 really fast lol

  • CANCER :D

  • *multiplyed

  • I love how he said Santa minus I!! How he says I is so sexy

  • He's so fucking hot!!! I love u bo burnham!

  • Lol I like the under 13 joke

  • New math + homework + no school tomorrow = serious procrasturbation

  • the michael j fox joke is cruel in so many ways XD

  • Haha this gave me a headache too much

  • hahaha this is fucked

  • Love the hermaphrodite joke.

  • @AyfoZ94 I'm really sorry to tell you this but actually to work out statistically the chances of picking a gay Chinese man is:

    (Probability of picking a gay man) x (Probability of picking a Chinese man), or

    0.1 x 0.2

    Therefore the answer is 0.02, or 2%

  • HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA­HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAH­AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA­HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA­HAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­

  • marry me Bo?

  • oh yes i am banging one tonight...

    

  • i like how people are fighting over the math problems in the song

  • @musicandguys2014 good point but it's still make believe. so in that case it would be 0 or not there.
