Without rapists who’s gonna buy your whistles( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

1:32






Anne in the background: *Whispers* Thank youuu

Whistles

500 likes and I’ll perform this for my husband. :)

Is it a rule that you have to use that font if uploading in the early 2000's?

Bo is love
Bo is life

😧my face when I take the time to really get the references!

his thank you at the end is so cute omg

1:45
His voice in this part is amazing

I don't get the Neverland ranch joke😅

Tossing salad is a sex act and Neverland ranch was owned by Michael Jackson where he allegedly raped kids

Bo reminds me of a younger, musical George Carlin. His play on words in some of his songs are insane!

Oh yeah yeah

Baby don't hurt me

As a goth kid I agree with you sir XD

1:31-1:46 my favorite part

I pity anyone that thinks neverland is just a wholesome Ranch Company

Love is Bo Burnhame!

Bo: “Because love is all about...”
Me: “Rape?”
Bo: “...whistles.”
Me: “GODFUCKINGDAMMIT!!”

It is scary how apt these idiotic metaphors are.

*cringes*

Whats that part about the Nederland Ranch and voyeurism?

Anne Frank did eventually want people to read her diary, so she censored out some of her more personal stuff

Anne’s Diary was intended to be read after the war, Bo. That’s why her dad published it

The boy who liked me sent this to me 😹😹😹😹

This is an amazing try not to laugh challenge

I'm playing this at my wedding!
No jokes.

2:13 Thomas freaking Jefferson

“Love is Bo Burnham” I mean you’re not wrong

*send this to your crush with no context*

Some of the ways he describes love actually make sense. Like taking that dive and getting really comfortable and peeing in the pool. It's saying you fall in love and take a chance, but then you get so confident you fuck it up. It's kinda sad.

Zapatos

Sh-Shoes?

This reminds me of Paint

Mae Standley m

God oml

It’s crazy to see how much he’s evolved since the beginning. Proud of him!!

It's funny but the more you watch the more devoid of life you become.

theres a lot of nazi-related jokes in this song

The whistle one is the reason I listen 2 this

2:10

Fuck
Drag Thomas's ass to the ground holy shit

Yes the jab at Thomas Jefferson

That last one though

when i was younger i couldnt let myself read anne frank's diary, since she probably wouldnt let anyone read that at the time she was writing on it... I ended up reading because of school.

"JFK wanted a car with a roof"
wow

I love the way he says "Love is"

jfk actually didnt want a roof that is why he got killed

I’m retarded so you will hate my Youtube videos. Check them out for no reason.

"she`d"

Thank you for the Anne Frank line that’s always bugged me how people read it but it’s like x.x

1:03 is me read his shirt

1:03 is so me

I got an Emoji Movie ad before this

Ive never heard someone talk so excitedly about rape whistles before.

did you know that Anne Frank confessed her love of her best friend's breasts she vv gay and the paragraph about that is vv censored by otto frank

The people must know, love is all about whistles

He really is a graduate of the Harvard Maths/performing arts crossover professor's school of black comedy music

fuck me for my hardwork that got me into Harvard

Love is bo burnham

the title is so, right

Love is Bo Burnham

Anne Frank talked about wanting her diary published...

Love is whistles

youre right, love IS bo burnham

I sent this to my sorta flirty, maybe girlfriend person and I thought it was hilarious till I remembered the slave lyric and then I remembered my girlfriend possible person is black😅

it sounds like welcome to YouTube

Is the homeless guy named rich 😂😂 (reference to one of his other songs)

Abigail Hayward 😅😅😅🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣

The Bo Burnham musically connected universe

I'm this in the comments though I know someone else already did JFK was offered a roof and declined it because he wanted to be closer to the people.

oh boy did he get closer too the people. at least he didnt live too regret his decision.

hahaha the name of the video perfectly describes love.

before I would usually enjoy bo burnham bc of his jokes, wordplay, and his catchy songs. nowadays what I really enjoy is seeing or hearing him enjoy doing what he loves because very rarely do you see or hear him laugh at his own jokes and hearing him half sing half laugh is in his old songs or shows is so nice to hear. now don't get me wrong, I still enjoy his jokes, lyricism, and catchy songs

He's killing it writing and directing and I'm stoked that he is finding success in that realm of show biz, but a return to standup would be sick. He's not your average comedian, not in the slightest. As Norm McDonald said:

"It's one thing to make people laugh, it's another to make people smile."

Bo's wit and charm, especially in his early days like you say, when he still enjoyed doing shows, is infectious. It's heartwarming. In Eigth Grade he was able to channel his energy into the film and really display the talent of the young actresses and actors, and I doubt that will be the only film he will be able to do that with.

I do, however, hope to see him return to the stage at least one more time.

WHISTLESSSSSS

love is literally bo burnham

Lukeisfluffy no it isn’t. It’s whistles.

...the way he says Waa uunn aanted with the beat... HOW

I'm pretty sure Anne didn't want anyone to know about her thoughts about her Vag

To be fair her dad did edit that part out

waannted nobody TO READ HER *FUCKING DIARY"

*FUCKING DIARY*

"like a gay geneticist loves designer jeans" Bo is a fucking genius

Well thank you Bo, I now know the true meaning of love: Whistles. How did I not know until now?

How to comment on a Bo Burnham video:

step 1: Copy another person's comment
step 2: Quote a line or two from the song.
step 3: see step 1.

Accurate op

1:45 *orgasm*

Love is all about whistles!

anybody have a version where they were standing far away from the person with the annoying laugh

Can someone explain the Neverland Ranch on? I don't get it

Dylan Hemmings it was a ranch owned by Michael Jackson

@Igabobalushi ooooooooooohhhhhhhhh...damn

Iron Faux

love is all about whistles!

3:10 you can hear him smiling when he says that

You can and it's adorable... So is he... I mean... Well, yeah. (Thank you for putting the time stamp so others could enjoy it)

And I want you like Anne Frank wanted anybody to read her fucking diary

"I need you like a voyeur needs a branch, like boys tossing salad needs a little bit of Neverland ranch". Lmao, that was funny, clever, and fucked up at the same time. I love that shit. I could never be as clever as Bo Burnham even if it were to save my own fucking life.

Superkawaiimecha grilledcheesesandwich Jk, that was mean.

Hate to be the one but could you explain the pun?$:

well this line isnt clear at all. Can someone explain me? English isnt my native language. Thy

Jessica Audet "tossing salad" is a term for eating someones ass, "never land ranch" refering to peter pans home where you never grow old, where he hung out with a bunch of lost little boys...

Neverland Ranch is the name of one of Michael Jackson's properties, who is thought to have been a paedophile and hosted young boys there

The amount of people who don't understand his jokes.... Unfortunate.

Dana Bognar I don't get the Nederland ranch one and that's it

@ruairidh campbell Salad has a dressing called ranch.

Salad tossing is apparently where you lick someone's butthole.

Neverland Ranch is a....Ranch I guess? Anyway, it was owned by Michael Jackson, who was accused of molesting children.

I'm more concerned about "Nederland"....with lyrics & then a overhead shot where again its there😬

love you like kings love queens
Like a gay geneticist loves designer genes
I need you like New Orleans needs a drought
Like Hitler's Father needed to learn to pull out

And I want you
Yeah, like a Lawyer/Mathematician wants some kind of proof
And I want you
Yeah, like JFK wanted a car with a roof

Because love is taking that dive
Then, getting really comfortable and peeing in the pool
And love is a real life porn
Minus all the stuff that makes porn cool

And love is a homeless guy
Searching for treasure in the middle of the rain and
Finding a bag of gold coins and slowly finding out they're all filled with chocolate and
Even though he's heart broken, he can't complain 'cause he was hungry in the first place

Because I love you like Dora loves maps
Like the pope's toilet loves holy craps... (that's a little one)
I need you like a voyeur needs a branch
Like boys tossing salad needs a little bit of Neverland Ranch

And I want you
Yeah, like all the gothic kids that look exactly the same, never want to conform
And I want you like Anne Frank wanted nobody to read her FUCKING diary
'Cause a diary is a collection of secret things that no one's supposed to know, that's the whole point of a diary. Millions of people have breached this little girls privacy after she was chased by Nazis... kick her while she's down

And if we met in 10,000 BC
I was your caveman, you's my cavelady
If we got hot, we'd start rubbing
If we got hungry, we'd go clubbing
There's willy mammoths, but I will protect us
You're making me devolve to a homo erectus, mothafucker

And if we met in 1780
I was a white southern aristocratic plantation owner and you were my dark-skinned servant lady... slave
Whenever I could get away from the Miss'
I go to your shed, and then I'd steal you kisses
But let's be serious, I'd still work you full-time as a slave, there's a difference between romantic language and complete disregard for social economic trends

And if we met in 1941
I was a Nazi, yous a Gypsy on the run (that's a little redundant)
That... probably wouldn't have worked out...

Because...
Love is your favorite food for every breakfast, lunch, and dinner
And love is the Holocaust, if you don't die quick, and you don't get thinner
And love is being the owner of the company that makes rape whistles
And even though you started with good intentions trying to reduce the rate of rape
Now, you don't want to reduce it at all cause if the rape rate declines, you'll see an equal decline in whistle sales
Without rapists, who's gonna buy your whistles?

Yeahhhh, love is all about... Whistles

cuz why not

Foxy Marshmallow the type of guy to spend one hour to post the lyrics in the comment section that everybody finds after the vid and wont read it because its really long and everyone is impatient...

Well. I'm so happy this exists because it is SO not on the screen.

and if we met 1780, I would be a white southern aristocratic plantation owner and you were my dark skinned servant lady...
slave
when I could get away from the misses I'd go to your shed and then I'd steal you kisses
but let's be serious I'd still work you full-time as a slave there's a difference between romantic language and complete disregard for socioeconomic trends

This was the song from which I first discovered Bo Burnham.. 6th grade (2010 or 2011) holy cow

the whistles verse and the bag of coins are the best double meanings in this song.

ThisIsUrHostKillahMemeStar LetzGetRoiteIntoDeNudes! Could you explain the whistle one for me

@Qingyu ChenIf there are no rapists then who's going to buy your whistles?



I understood you ment how's related to love but not even I get it lol

when bo says "down" at 1:44
just kill me now thanks

frsrgrehwgter THE WAY HE SAYS THAT IS MY SEXUALITY

Just Like Anne was taken DOWN by typhus

knowing bo I kinda feel whistles have more meaning

If Cards Against Humanity were a person...

Spot on!

Joel sure buddy.

garden_varieties I was the 1,000th like

Joel so you're saying your Bo Burnham and the maker of Cards Against Humanity even though he didn't make Cards Against Humanity.

garden_varieties I mean your not wrong

I don't get most of Bo's jokes but I still watch all of these cause they are still funny when I do get them. XD I came here originally from Undertale-Sad and looking for the phandom in every video

@Elina Stamrap 😱😱😄 I FOUND YOU

+Elina Stamrap HEY FELLOW PHANDOM MEMEMBERS!!!

+Nicole Franklin i honestly meant members but... you're in the phandom so meme it is

@Nicole Franklin Hello!! Welcome !!!

HERRO MY FELLOW PHANS

Can someone please explain the neverland ranch joke.

@Leva Dubz Well yeah exactly michael Jackson never had a childhood because he was always working you know in the Jackson 5 group so when he got older he created this thing called the never land ranch thing it was like a little theme park for kids to come over and play at his house so I think thats when he was charged for pedophilia idk but he never had a childhood so he wanted to live it out as an adult and act as a child and never grow up

+Natalie Rigger oh ok thank you

+Natalie Rigger in truth. michael never molested those kids. neverland ranch was a place that he would invite very sick kids or kids from a bad home so they could have fun.

@Phineas Furrbottom Oh I didn't know that he invited sick kids thanks for clarifying

Sounds like a missed opportunity

"Kick her while she's dooooooown"

{TGWL} StormierNut2 His beautiful voice makes it so catchy, I can't fucking take it.

I know right

makes me N U T

I️ dead ass came here only to hear that

the bo burnham guide to comedy:
step 1: take everything offensive and make it hilarious
step 2: write catchy songs that get stuck in your head for weeks
step 3: see step 1

mikl raisin

Probably Penguin Productions or play a game of card against humanity and turn it into a song

Step 4: Wait until their guard is down and hit them where it hurts.

Bo is a mastermind

Love is

+Geo love is a real life porn... Minus all the stuff that makes porn cool
