Bo Burnham is a comedian whose shows are very musical. He plays several instruments and sings fairly well too. Bo Burnham is very critical of pop culture and pop music, and frequently ridicules it in his own music, though it's usually easy to miss. Below I'll walk through a few of the lines from his music.

1. "We know it's not right, we know it's not funny, but we'll stop beating this dead horse when it stops spitting out money so until then we will repeat stuff."

Really his whole song "Repeat Stuff" is a goldmine. While simultaneously criticizing every pop artist of the day, he also makes it catchy and extremely clever. With a combination of singing, rapping, rhyme schemes, and really clever jokes, "Repeat Stuff" is perhaps Bo's best work.

2. "(Right Brain) Holy F*** I think she might be the one! There's something about her, I just can't describe it! (Left Brain) ... tits"

This comes from his song "Left Brain, Right Brain." Bo is trying to show his own inner conflict with this song, and, arguably, how we decided to do comedy. Or it could just be a joke. You never really know for sure with him. This line is a funny backhanded criticism of men; on one hand we're so in love right away and we can't explain it and on the other hand, well as Bo put it ..."tits".

3. "I created the universe you think I'm drawing the line at the f****ing deli aisle?"

This line comes from "From God's Perspective." This is a joke, but it also criticizes Islam and Judaism at the same time. Both religions have restrictions on the food they can eat (like no pork, for example).

4. "My love's the type of thing you have to earn and when you earn it you won't need it."

This line also comes from "From God's Perspective." This song really exemplifies Deism. Deism is a kind of religion which believes that God exists but doesn't care about His creation. In other words, God sort of set the pieces in motion and then let it go on its own. This song shows Deism in a lot of ways. "You're not going to heaven, why the f*** would you think I'd ever kick it with you... there's a trillion aliens cooler than you," etc.

5. "I hate catchy choruses and I'm a hypocrite. Hungry, hungry hypocrite."

This comes from his song "Words, Words, Words," which contains the line, "Words words words divide a whole into thirds thirds thirds. I'm a gay sea otter; I blow other dudes out of the water." Also, "90 lady cops in the road and I'm arrested for doing 80." It ends with, "Take off your bras and burn 'em (Burnham), or you can let me burn 'em take off your bras and burn 'em, burn 'em, or you can let Bo Burnham burn 'em."

This song is loaded. To focus on the chorus, listed above, it shows that Bo's overarching goal is to write music in the pop style (usually) while making the words to ridicule pop artists/culture and really whatever he wants. Bo Burnham is incredibly clever and sometimes it takes several times of listening to one of his songs to pick up on some of the jokes because they're so subtle, have multiple meanings, or come and go so quickly. I'll leave you with these lines:

"I met a homeless man named Rich. He wasn't."

"If i'm in the closet then you are below me taking the b-a-t out of basement homey."

"Have you ever accidentally peed on the toilet seat instead of on your girlfriend's face? Me neither."
