Bo Burnham: "Welcome to YouTube" at YouTube Live '08 - uncensored - with lyrics

Lyrics:
Before YouTube I walked through life,
and now I frolic.
YouTube has been like a father to me,
except YouTube's not an alcoholic.
Before YouTube I was just a skinny white kid that thought he was funnier and cooler than he actually was.
Now, not much has changed,
but I have a shitload of money.

Because YouTube is a place for people to share their ideas.
If by people you mean 13 year old girls,
and by ideas you mean how they love the Jonas Brothers.
I'm just kidding! But let's be honest, that's a hefty majority.
And if you don't believe me,
well then you must be a noob!

So, welcome to YouTube!
You don't know what your missing,
just try searching women kissing.
It's YouTube. It's what this country's been needing.
A generation of kids who don't waste their time reading.
Am I the only one who thinks that LisaNova's hot, and Chris Crocker's not?
(He's hotter.)

Most of the best YouTubers are either Asian or they're gay.
So there's an untapped YouTube celebrity, and his name is George Takei.
And your favorite coat has got a doo-doo stain; I pray to God that that's chocolate rain.
And I find videos of babies laughing a bit intrusive.
Because Barack Obama won the election because of YouTube.
Wait, did I say YouTube?
I meant the black vote.

And I think that YouTube and Fred are so cool!
And What The Buck will be back in a jiffy lube.

So welcome to YouTube.
Yeah, I said welcome to YouTube.
Hey. Welcome to YouTube.

I said listen and linger.
Charlie the unicorn bit my finger.
It's YouTube.
The impact is evident.
Miss Teen South Carolina just ran for vice president.

Upload a video.
You got nothin' to lose.
Except all of you friends.
(And the approval of your parents.)

Hi, my name is Mary and I'm 19 years old and I got drunk at a party and I think someone was videotaping it but I don't want anyone to see it 'cause I showed half of my boob.

Sorry Mary!
Welcome to YouTube.
Say hello to YouTube.
(Say goodbye to your college scholarship.)

Yeah, and it'll keep on going and it'll never stop.
('till it's privatized.)

[glickinator]

Na, they were laughing a ton - the camera just didn't pick it up super well.

[monique1896]

[glickinator]

This is nothing - you should check out the rest of his videos. :) "boburnham" is his channel name.

I would have to say that having watched this entire Live presentation that Bo was probably one of the best acts that night. And I think everyone in the crowd at the live event should have been shot for being a bunch of friggen loosers. I mean honestly, where the hell did all of these friggen boring ass people get their tickets? It's embarassing, I mean honestly they very rarely cheered and were acting like lumps on logs. Give me a friggen break. Great Show though.
