New Math - Bo Burnham [Illustrated]

[spiral527]

How do you come up with all this?

[1992sanchez]

that was cool you should make more

[starhudhgis2]

Thumbs up if you understood all the jokes in this song.

[babycornrow101]

@babycornrow101

[babycornrow101]

@MrTehnoobshowfan I = the square root of a negative number making it imaginary and if you multiply 2 imaginary numbers so what he is saying is that Santa is imaginary and when he is multiplied by an imaginary number he is thus turned real

[MrTehnoobshowfan]

I don't get the Santa one about him being multiplied by I.

[gregmonny]

Hi. I opened for Bo Burnham in March and I think you should give my act a shot. People told me they thought I was as funny as he was. I told them that's bullshit and not possible.

But check it out, it's not terrible: /watch?v=lfDVUwYcSd4

[Acadienpride]

@Mrwii93 and apparently u'r failing english

[II3randon]

I dont get the train or the farmers explain please?

[brea1019]

@II3randon "support the farmers with a protractor" a protractor is a tool used in math for measuring angles in geometry....and "tractor", a vehicle used by farmers is part of "proTRACTOR". with the metal train part....i think that has to do with metal being a good CONDUCTOR of electricity...and there being a CONDUCTOR in a train.(:

[TheKaces1]

@rochnrollhs actually smart ass people with kleinfelters (x(x)y) can have three testes

[Gingerkid19951]

why does his JFK look like Hitler like this if you noticed that

[DJStompZone]

Lol I like your illustration of the porn tree. =P

[cooloneyea]

can someone help me with the domain domain range? please? haha

[nunirahmon]

@cooloneyea Domain domain range is written as x(x)y... This alludes to the genetic sex chromosomes for men (xy) and women(xx)... The joke is that someone with XXY chromosomes would have a huge penis :O)

[kegmonkey]

@nunirahmon Umm. Actually I'm pretty sure it implies a hermaphrodite.

[nunirahmon]

@kegmonkey actually to be specific, the XXY chromosome is the basis for something called Klinefelter syndrome, which usually causes someone to have enlarged testes

[rochnrollhs]

@nunirahmon You, are correct. Well, mostly. You are correct in that it refers to Kleinfelters, but wrong in stating that it gives a man enlarged testes. In fact, the inclusion of the extra X chromosome decreases the possibility of having large testes at all. Not to mention that the disorder is often accompanied microorchidism, which is in turn, a term for small testes. I submit that its a double joke. Domain (Domain) range (x(x)y) is poking fun at the fact they dont have much in their pants.

[kegmonkey]

@nunirahmon Oh cool. See, I didn't even know that.

[cooloneyea]

@nunirahmon i knew the xxy thing but i could not figure it out but thank you hahahahahhahaa so much

[bomberbaja]

for 132 30-day Months will their threesomes be considered statutory rape.

[alecbrawl]

if you do not understand bo's jokes then GO TO FUCKING SCHOOL, or you are just stupid. I am sorry if this is news to you, but someone had to tell you

[ricebarito]

For those that took the conductor thing seriously... Your all Fags!

[mjh327]

@kidcougar008 XXY is actually a condition known as trisomy 23 or Klinefelter Syndrome and has nothing to do with hermaphroditism

[CustomizeDucttape]

i dont get the train joke:(

[a7xkr0ss]

@CustomizeDucttape its not really a math problem its just a play on words with the word conductor.. the driver of a train and a material that is good at transferring heat or electricity.

[CustomizeDucttape]

@a7xkr0ss OOh thanks that helps.:D

[sorakillingzombies]

Can someone help me understand the train joke^^;

[SonOfSven14]

@sorakillingzombies Metal is a good conductor of electricity, so it's gonna travel up the rest of the train. And, it'll kill the conductor (driver) if he's a good conductor of electricity as well. Hope that helps.

[chatanwarrior]

@SonOfSven14 ....seriously? how is the train joke hard to follow? the question would be how long before the conductor is killed by the lightning traveling along the mile long metal train, lightning travels at 3,700 miles per second so, lets just say pretty much instantly

[MsSaraHotness]

i dont think whoever made this getz bo's jokes

[DiClivity]

it would be better if a video like this was made by someone who actually understands all the jokes...

[xavier8994]

44..... 44 30-day months, only 4 a year, need to wait 11 years because Kim needs to be 18 for it to not be considered rape xD

[FlautistRedemptions]

Ive loved Bo since I first saw him 3 years ago on comedy central :3

[SuperiorSamaaX3]

haha The square root of the NBA is Africa in a Box...so wait whats the square root of the NFL???

[Erikthegreat54321]

@SuperiorSamaaX3 The SEC

[TheDuskDemise]

44 more 30 day months.

[TheNinjaDefuze]

@TheDuskDemise *slow clap*

[TheFusedShadow]

i dont get the africa in a box one

[skyhighblogs]

@TheFusedShadow the nba is pretty much all black ............... just like africa

[hhall053]

@TheFusedShadow then ur retarded.

[operationmontage]

13 squared is 169 lol

[SuperiorSamaaX3]

@operationmontage haha 1-69 :P

[7101322]

is there some kind of meaning to the approximate moral proportion of the probable problem of a pro life abortion line?

[themastergrantful]

@7101322 pro life means that you don't believe in abortion, the joke is that there are consequences of pro life people getting an abortion, as they are hypocrites.

[kidcougar008]

domain,domain range.. domain=x range=y , if your talking about chromosone a guy is xy a girl is xx.. so having xxy is both genders

[TheNinjaDefuze]

@kidcougar008 No that is a mutation. XXY or XYY is trisomy of the 21 chromosome and causes downs syndrome. He was just joking saying that if you have 3 X's or Y's then you have extra "parts"...

[sierrasmf6]

@kidcougar008 No, when he says a person has an XXY chromosome set instead of the usual XX or XY, he's referring to a condition known as hermaphroditism, where a person has both the male and female genitals, thus, the "too much in his pants".

[JayForLifeXD]

@sierrasmf6 i get 95% of his jokes, but i had to google that 1. :P

[ThePeeon12]

the only 1 i don't get is the ln(x) one

[fayeth3844]

@ThePeeon12 ln(x) is the symbol for "the natural log" <-- a math thing, hence the joke following it, "Duraflame, the un-natural log"

[LadyCalculus]

@ThePeeon12 well ln(x) is just mathematical for taking the natural log (or logarithim) of a number. so the opposite of a natural log would be an unnatural log. and since duraflame is a log (a wooden one) that's not actually made from just cutting down a tree (its all treated and its got all kinds of chemicals in it), duraflame is an "unnatural log", hence the joke.

[linnyKrunkface]

this is pure brilliance.

[MegaBaylor]

i dont get the michael j fox joke

[ThePeeon12]

@MegaBaylor he has Parkinson's disease

[xxfobluvaxx]

@MegaBaylor Michael J Fox has Parkinson's Disease which effects the central nervous system. This means his hands and body in general tend to shake or quiver. So with the random points on a scatter plot, it'd be easy to trace if your hand was just moving all over the place, and Michael J Fox's hands do that.

[DeathbyChocolateify]

I thought he was going to draw a penis when it said circumcision

[Subscriber9192]

2:55 that would be 132 months

[TheMisssexychic]

squaring numbers is just like women if there under 13 do them in your head lol that made me crack up =] x

[drprettyboyhot1]

i dont get the santa one

[PockySama00]

@drprettyboyhot1 i = me, meaning since he is real, if you multiply Santa by a real person that means he is real

[Mrwii93]

@PockySama00 Actually i is a math term for an imaginary number, since santa is imaginary and you multipy it by another imaginary thing then you get a real thing. Same principal as mutiplying negative numbers. Damn i sound like a smart ass, but i damn near failing calculus.

[ownag3r]

@Mrwii93 You're probably not doing too much better in English. :P

[mihknkhk]

@Mrwii93 shutdown :P

[CrispyChris145]

@Mrwii93 thats just I-R-O-N-I-C

[slickowncountry]

@Mrwii93 great i just had imaginary #s for algebra 2 and i still dont get them...im not gonna take calc now..........lol

[mikepowell22usalax]

@drprettyboyhot1 an imaginary number multiplied by i is -1 therefore its real. santa clause in this case would be the imgainary "number"

[ninjamonkey63]

@PeanutButterPi How long did it take you to draw all the pics ???

[Miikeydee1994]

102 people got ate by a anteater and pressed the dislike button

[KoreansinNam]

So what is the calculator, mathematical minds make industrial smog thing?

[lessthanthreekatt]

Haha square root of NBA is africa in a box. ahahaha racist.

@arsenal013 Yes, it wasn't complicated at all pft. Serious it wasn't I got it all

[kickedoutofScotland1]

Too funny! I'm the only one of my friends who likes this song

[haevenorhell]

toooooooooooooo funny

[SHAREE209]

the only thing i didnt get was the duraflame log part ?

[daxsa]

@SHAREE209 opposite of natural log = unnatural log

[Yotubedude33434]

101 teachers

[AquaMagnum7]

@nayr3195

It's referring to DNA. two x traits would be a mutation on a male

[TJS2400]

How do you trace a scatter plot? Ya give the pencil to Michael j. Fox. See cause he has parkinsons disease which causes him to move a lot and a scatter plot is a graph with random points on it so if you give the pencil to Michael he'll get it traced (just kidding with the last 12 words)

[ilyNirvana98]

world believe me have a .. tree lol

i swear # are just like woman, if there under 13 u do them in ur head

[pie725]

@ilyNirvana98

You can't do a number, dipshit.

[ilyNirvana98]

@pie725 wow.. u know wat i mean

[wackkaflackka]

This video made my hard hurt

[xXPuffyCookiesXx]

Hey tard, cicumfrence is d times pi!

[4Konja]

@xXPuffyCookiesXx or 2r = d, so its the same thing

[breezerlie]

@xXPuffyCookiesXx or 2r times pi smart one

[nayr3195]

i dont get the domain domain range thing. can some 1 explain it? every line is a joke and it took me like 50 times to hear every one but i cnt figure that one out

[jesskaht]

@nayr3195 domain = x, domain = x, range = y...it's a chromosome joke xD (xx = female) (xy = male)

[breezerlie]

@nayr3195 it has to do with gender.... i believe xxy is a hemefadite

[STAcity101]

I WANT TO LEARN NEW MATH AT SCHOOL

[kaigrabmydigits]

take the = mo r al ? someone explain please xD

[Bomasticatt]

I don't get the duraflame joke...

[illusions142]

@Bomasticatt --math lingo-- when using logarithms, the natural logarithm ("natural log") is the logarithm to the base e, which is referred to as "ln(x)"

so the opposite of ln(x) (known as the natural log) = duraflame, which is an -unnatural log- (log as in part of a tree)

[justforpoox]

square root of NBA - the ROOT of somthing is the base of it... the building blocks... the starter. most basketball players are black so the root of NBA is black people who come from africa... then "square it" so draw a box around it... its a square.

[00chicken101]

I love how worried the pastry shop guy is that the fat guy is in his shop, good video!

[MrAwsomeSam]

I got a A in math listening to this song :)

[plasticwinter]

XD havin sex is just like homework.

I do it better when I'm alone in my bed ie Jacking off

[UnicornTurdify]

@plasticwinter Lol I'm pretty sure we know what he's getting at, and if someone listening doesn't get it, chances are they have no idea what the rest of the song means. lmao (Just throwing that out there)

[capox]

squaring numbers are just like women...

If they are under 13 just do them in your head.

:P

[ThePredaconwaspinato]

96 people didn't get a nike worker's meal

[zas79beast]

its frustrating that i dont know the train problems answer...................all the rest i know and understand!!!!!!! :( DAMN YOU BO!!!!!!

[aej35]

@zas79beast a conductor is something that conducts electricity, and the driver of a train.

[camera177]

@aej35 no dip sherlock

[aaronsix6]

@camera177 lmfao who says no dip?

[camera177]

@aaronsix6 everyone who feels that there is an absence of things to dip there chips in.

[leila4455]

@camera177 well im a woman. ill go get more.

[camera177]

@leila4455 thank you very much.

[brokenlock037]

damn bo is so freaking smart!

[lildb9]

@FocusedNeroXL27 Definitely but that makes 2 of us

[y0sty22]

2:08

Why does Lincoln look like Hitler?

[mskjaz]

@y0sty22 Don't you mean Kennedy!?!?!?!?!?

[wkd256]

ln x = natural logarithm (commonly abbreviated as log) of x.

duraflame= an 'unnatural' log

[jaredwiltshire23]

god can anyone help explain the duraflame joke

[JayForLifeXD]

it took me awhile to figure out the michael j fox joke.. >.>

[musiclover22297]

Bo taught me to spell "calculator"

[truepeacechild]

any1 see that Kennedy looks like hitler?

[mbaicu]

why is the picture of "kennedy and lincoln" a picture of hitler and lincoln?

[MrDarkJesse]

am i weird to be watching this at 6 in the mornning? lol

[851852093114208513]

@MrDarkJesse why? are you the one person in the world that would find that weird, but hope that at least one other person would agree or something? lol

[ThatGirlWithTheFlip]

I raped the replay button :D

[musiclover22297]

@ThatGirlWithTheFlip I did too!

[videoK1]

Good, but you seemed hesitant to add pictures of real life people or introduce some of the vulgar humor.

[shineEme13]

also... this song got mi older brother to laugh... which, is basically impossible. x3

[shineEme13]

i must be retarded bcuz i had to pause it basically every word he said and watched it like nine times before i understood anything he said... :|

[gaaragirl72]

if there under 13 just do them in ur head! uck the best line ive ever heard!

[tr83ey23]

This comment will get high rated

[jnaslund100]

does anyone know the answer to the statutory rape word problem?

[halfbloodprincesss7]

@jnaslund100 it's 44

[tsubbaby]

well put together............ bravo

[CHRapMIX]

That was honestly ah-may-zing your really good:)

[4troy101]

94 ppl can trace a scatter plot

[TheRickJarrett]

@4troy101 that was just terrible

[xmusicraverx]

thats horrible...but its funny, so it slides. haha

[FocusedNeroXL27]

...am i a dork if i understood all that >_>?

[bribri10021]

@FocusedNeroXL27 i understood all that tooo, dont worry lol

[thekkl]

@FocusedNeroXL27 The best kind.

[supercockycock]

@FocusedNeroXL27 yeah...

[dgstein5515]

@FocusedNeroXL27 No your just smart and really cool

[hurilo]

@FocusedNeroXL27 not at all, Bo's comedy is, even though most wont agree, pretty intelligent haha.

[3bwchristopher]

@FocusedNeroXL27 nah not that hard to get honestly...learned it all in school haha

[jonydog1998]

@FocusedNeroXL27 no

[arsenal013]

@FocusedNeroXL27 No. None of that was complicated in any sense of the word.

[nerfmaster98]

@FocusedNeroXL27 yup

[jdogrocker1346]

domain domain range = a kid with to much in his pants :P if you dont get it, the genetic whatever that makes you a boy is xy, and xx is a girl, so if its xxy, its a kid with to much in his pants. just thought id say it cuz theres a question mark on it in the video. not tryin to be a smart ass

[bethhishh]

"How do you trace a scatter plot? You give the pencil to Michael J. Fox"

So mean, yet so hilarious.

[DannMann7]

@bethhishh I don't get that joke

Can you explain it?

[RisenPheonix94]

@DannMann7 Micheal J. Fox has a neurological disease where he involintarialy moves his hands rapidly

[pleasemallorie]

@DannMann7 parkinson's disease

tremors

not enough dopamine in his domepiece



[Theeriuth]

I like how the song is more complicated than real math.

[snailbacon]

@Theeriuth I think it depends on how you think :)

[NakedJt]

Haha, Kennedy looks like hitler!

[abovestand]

"if they're under 13 just do them in your head" lol

[EMILYxsmiles]

Hilarious

[lifeispain411]

im sory but did a 5 year old make this?

[R2pyro]

Lol if there under 13 just do them if your head

[JasonCert]

This is honestly really good.

[ThePunkstar101]

Bahaha

[dgviper482]

bobby is 14 tori is 12 kim is 7 hmmmmmm well when kim 18 its not illegal anymore.

so 132 mouths

[Talamare]

@dgviper482 Statutory Rape means that 1 needs to be an adult, and 1 needs to be under the age of consent, meaning Bobby needs to turn at least 21 and Kim has to stay under 16~, so if shes 7 years old and hes 14, in 7 years or 84 months. He will turn 21 and she will only be 14

[dgviper482]

@Talamare he is aking how long is it still statutory and until kim is 18 it is still statutory right so it would be 132 mouths ? cause no madder how old bobby is if kim is under 18 she cant give consent in some state its 16

[TheAustin1414]

@dgviper482 well he says how many thirty day months. that could mean take all the days and divide by three or it could mean only count the thirty day months

[xckurtr]

@dgviper482 132 mouths...well if you want to go there you need a few more people than just bobby tori and kim

[92mrdouglas]

@dgviper482 but he asks how many 30 day months...... so its only 66 months? rite?

[paulatotau15]

THIS IS THE F***kING BOMB!!!!!BITCH GIVE ME SOMEMORE....OHHH YA

[m0n3ysh0tz]

Really? You're uploading videos for a youtube-star? That's uhmm... Unlucky...
