Imagine being a rural 80-year-old farmer or something, finally being like "fine, I guess I'll try the internet", and then this is the first thing you see.
One of the low key most clever aspects of this song is how the tone gets more chaotic and sinister as it goes on, exactly like the internet itself did.
I'm 25 and I remember what life was like before. The big changes happened as I was becoming a young adult. The difference, I hope, is that you had time to make friends and connections with people. Because everyone my age has forgotten how.
I used to say “I was half-raised by the internet,” in the context of this song it makes it uncomfortable realization that my personality was influenced by a mindless entity which’s sole purpose was to get me hooked in and guess what, it worked… I’m gonna go outside 😅
The contrast of the song being so “relatable” at first only to turn the mirror around so we catch a quick glimpse of our addiction and the inherent horror of mindless consumption. And then go right back to the funny upbeat lyrics again- but the second time because of the tone shift it has a completely different meaning. Well executed to prove a point. Also slaps very hard.
Not only is it catchy. It’s accurate. As much as Bo’s a comedian, I think it goes without saying he’s not the biggest fan of how the internet takes advantage of people.
I feel like if you asked artists to design a character embodying the entire Internet, they'd really get to be creative and go all out with the prompts, adding a lot of features and details to the character's design. But I find it interesting how effective this portrayal is: white shirt, black pants, black shoes, round black sunglasses. It's so simple. He just looks like any guy at all. All the weight of the character is in Bo's performance and the cold blue lighting. His outfit would be perfectly unremarkable if not for the sunglasses. We can't see his eyes. The lenses are small, so we can still see his eyebrows, it's not like we can't read his expression. But we can't look into his eyes. There's no window to the soul, just round black discs.

So many, too many, things that are still not talked about. This song is so interesting to unpack. Lyrics, pace, choice in tone, presentation. So excellent.
As someone struggling with overcoming my "corn" addiction, the line: "Can I interest you in everything, all of the time?" rings in a very malicious tone.

a few other comments said it sounded like a song from a disney villian who won and honestly, i can see why. this has the vibe of a villain who won because there was never a protagonist to fight against
Id say its more a 'welcome to chaos' Its a song he's repeated for decades on end, to every new traveller, individually by the millions. In doing so, and seeing what they ask for, he's lost his mind, his original ethos corrupted and warped by humanity. Of course, he's not fully lost, at the end he regains composure, only to once again lose it, but it demonstrates that there is some degree of sanity left.
The way he laughed when he said "Color pencil drawings of Harry Potter characters" Got me thinking: Did he actually saw it or he made it up but laughed because he realized how likely it is to exist
Actually, a band called It Lives, It Breathes created a 2015 version of "We Didn't Start the Fire" it's pretty interesting. krplus.net/bidio/qc-jc2CMpGmbdnY
I watched it when it came out & wokeup with it stuck in my head today. I’m watching allllll his old vids for nostalgia. Old Netflix specials next Soooooo happy he came back.
Man, as someone born in '88 I do miss the internet of the mid-to late 90s / early 00's (got my first computer, a Gateway, purchased in early 1996)... He is 100% right, after 9/11 the internet really DID change..

It’s not entirely about how bad the internet is. I don’t feel as tho the nice part isn’t just manipulation, I just think it’s the bipolar wide range of the internet, the internet can be amazing and do amazing things and entirely innocent, but just as well can ruin lives.

When you remember that Bo Burnham is vehemently against the use of internet at such a young age and constantly warns people to try to be happy without fame, the whole monologue takes a much different vibe. Kinda chilling to be honest
This feels like the type of song that would be taught in a history class a hundred or some years into the future. It’s just such a perfect portrait of the internet culture in the early 21st century.

Little did I know it would be iPads and Tablets instead of textbooks.
I love it because its such a great way to represent shifting perceptions on the internet. When it was first booting up it was seen as the harbinger of a new age of digital democracy. Only for the corporations to slowly get this strange new beast under its thumb. Something with great revolutionary potential that was folded back into the hands of the powerful. A new form of control, now the internet is an Orwellian nightmare, where ANY engagement is good engagement, and algorithms shape our brains and dictate what we see. On top of that we had no Idea what how this new tech would change peoples engagement with life. This massive shift in the way we communicate and live, without a philosophical frame work to navigate this new world. The laugh to me at least is the broken promise of the internet. "It was always the plan to put the world in YOUR hands"
When I was first watching this video, I was doing electrical work and a game and that’s all I can think about whenever I listen to this song happens to more songs than you think

The creator of the internet created the internet to be a vast repository of all of human knowledge and to make said human knowledge accessable to the entire world. He succeeded in that, but he did not realize what humans would bring to the internet.
@@bajumbas176 The Internet is a reflection of people. That's the problem. People didn't want to know what people were really like. Or are in denial about it.
@@TitaniumDragon That's exactly it. The problem is that ALL of humanity is there.
We were promised a fresh start. We thought that we could leave our demons behind and build a new world that would bring out the best in us. The problems came when we realized - it would bring out the worst in us, too.
I have never seen the internet so flawlessly personified.
0:59 is just the information you need
I love how fucking insidious this song is
It’s such a banger holy shit

Hi mondo 🙂
This song has no business going as hard as it does

Bo Is definitely one of the old gods of youtube.

I very nearly took a screenshot of this thread, it is pure gold.
PFFT
what.
When you remember that Bo Burnham is vehemently against the use of internet at such a young age and constantly warns people to try to be happy without fame, the whole monologue takes a much different vibe. Kinda chilling to be honest
2:48 I saw an alistor version and thought that part was new, I didn’t even know this part existed
Disney wish they could do a villian song as good as Bo's Mr internet.
EXACTLY, you beat me to it

This feels like the type of song that would be taught in a history class a hundred or some years into the future. It’s just such a perfect portrait of the internet culture in the early 21st century.
0:58 is probably my favorite part
The best thing about the internet is that everybody can use it.

This man is one bad day away from becoming a musical supervillian.
How do you not know he already is
We had MF DOOM but since he passed we need a new villain.
One bloody cord snap or anything else and boom musical supervillain 🤣
@@cold_mercury4224 touché...
This song would be perfect for a Disney villain to sing; it has that “Friends from the Other Side” type vibe

I am searching it up rn

Great song to play for introducing catholic grandma to the internet ❤
This song is comedic, terrifying and tragic at the same time. Bo how do you do this???

He scrolled through twitter and listed the things he saw XD

I love it because its such a great way to represent shifting perceptions on the internet. When it was first booting up it was seen as the harbinger of a new age of digital democracy. Only for the corporations to slowly get this strange new beast under its thumb. Something with great revolutionary potential that was folded back into the hands of the powerful. A new form of control, now the internet is an Orwellian nightmare, where ANY engagement is good engagement, and algorithms shape our brains and dictate what we see. On top of that we had no Idea what how this new tech would change peoples engagement with life. This massive shift in the way we communicate and live, without a philosophical frame work to navigate this new world. The laugh to me at least is the broken promise of the internet. "It was always the plan to put the world in YOUR hands"
When I was first watching this video, I was doing electrical work and a game and that’s all I can think about whenever I listen to this song happens to more songs than you think
This song litterally is fact after fact after fact spoken bye an evil villan from a low budget disney copy
His voice changes drastically between every song. Like- listen to “shit” and then listen to this. Its so awesomg
he has such good control over his voice
When he says "This isnt a test" at 00:26 it sounds like some sort of autotune or something that changes his voice, might just be something weird cause of the video. I dont know, kinda sounded like it atleast
Did you just combine awesome with omg?
@@amundflakkenberg nah there wasn't any auto tune or any thing weird happen when recording for me atleast cuz it sounded very normal
