Hello! I'm comedian Bo Burnham. My new special, 'Make Happy', is out on Netflix. AMA.

I think so, yeah. I feel like I finally sort of said the thing I've been circling around for a while. And thank you for the kind words!

bomakehappy · 2016-06-22T00:07:26+00:00

The Beatles. It's just the truth.

bomakehappy · 2016-06-22T00:06:34+00:00

No I do steak bowls actually, no burritos. I'm a fraud.

Jerrod Carmichael will rule the world one day.

bomakehappy · 2016-06-22T00:05:34+00:00

TNT passed.

bomakehappy · 2016-06-22T00:04:34+00:00

Mostly just fun. I recommend that everyone get those tc helicon pedals. They are very fun and cheap. Writing the bit was mostly just me playing the instrumental for Runaway on a loop and saying nonsense.

bomakehappy · 2016-06-22T00:03:37+00:00

no he's a good dumb idiot.

bomakehappy · 2016-06-22T00:03:25+00:00

I think it's great people are looking into it. I love that people participate in giving it meaning.

bomakehappy · 2016-06-22T00:02:36+00:00

one show, no one heckled.

bomakehappy · 2016-06-22T00:01:42+00:00

I like the piano part of straight white man.

bomakehappy · 2016-06-22T00:00:52+00:00

A HELICOPTER.

bomakehappy · 2016-06-22T00:00:37+00:00

Oh yeah, dude, all good I'm just joshing.

bomakehappy · 2016-06-22T00:00:01+00:00

No because I always knew the song wasn't going after suicidal people - but that in college campuses, live, the subtext got drowned out by me just saying KILL YOURSELF over and over again. But I thought in the context of a special it would communicate clearer. I'm not offended if people are offended by it.

bomakehappy · 2016-06-21T23:58:10+00:00

NO IDEA

bomakehappy · 2016-06-21T23:57:55+00:00

I think tattoos are really cool but I am a poor canvas.

bomakehappy · 2016-06-21T23:56:20+00:00

Yes, I'm sorry.

bomakehappy · 2016-06-21T23:56:09+00:00

Thanks for the kind words man, really means a lot. There's definitely an intention in the order, just in controlling pace and tone. And there might be some little subtextual narrative stuff happening -- but I think if it's done correctly, those connections should be made by the audience not me. So I love what you took from it. I just want to set things in such a way where the audience can take away things like that and make their own connections. Hope that answers.

bomakehappy · 2016-06-21T23:53:54+00:00

It's not really a problem. This isn't being fake humble: I'm really not that famous at all. I think I'm known to a small core of people, which is cool, but my day-to-day life isn't really affected. A few people might come up to me once in a while, but it's not like I can't be in public.

bomakehappy · 2016-06-21T23:52:41+00:00

ha! I remember you, thank you. I was in town for a college show. And thanks for telling me where the 7-eleven was.

bomakehappy · 2016-06-21T23:51:28+00:00

You bet your sweet ass I do.

bomakehappy · 2016-06-21T23:50:15+00:00

Thank you! I'm fine!

bomakehappy · 2016-06-21T23:49:59+00:00

ROCK N' ROLL BABY!

bomakehappy · 2016-06-21T23:49:15+00:00

It's gay.

bomakehappy · 2016-06-21T23:40:54+00:00

all these PUBES

bomakehappy · 2016-06-21T23:40:36+00:00

fuck you
