Bo Burnham - Poems Lyrics
I believe there is nothing more manly one can do than take a shower with 5 other guys, It's true.
It's not a joke its early cavemen, you know.
Cromagnum wandering through the fog, scrubbing 5 other sapians, no homo
I wanna do a poem for you, some poems for you
[Chime plays]
Oh, a genie just came
Now that we're halfway through the show I'd like to take the pressure off you, the audience, and just read some serious poetry, then we'll go back to the giggles. This is from my book, "Egghead", that some of you may already have
Just sit back and enjoy this poetry
"Roses are grey
Violets are a different shade of grey
Let's go chase cars."
[Chimes play]
This is a poem about beauty
About self-image
And about the ability to transform
"Martha was ugly like a shaved baboon
So she wrapped herself up in a curtain cocoon
And after a week, she finally emerged
She smelled like shit. What a psycho."
[Chimes play]
You can't transcend them, I guess that's the moral
"Me, with my strange choice of adjectives
You, with your muscular teeth
And your clockwise vagina."
[Chimes play]
"You're incomparable, like a..."
[Chimes play]
"I put a chameleon on a dildo..."
No
"He blushed."
There we go
[Chimes play]
"I wanna beat you to death with a blunt object!
I wanna grab one of those high-end fashion mannequins by the ankles and bash your rib cage in!
I wanna sharpen 50 pencils, bind them with a rubber band, stick the lead ends in your mouth and punch the erasers!
I wanna strap you to a bed of nails, then strap that bed of nails to the hood of my car so I can watch you suffer as we drive over the speed bumps in a mall parking lot during an earthquake!
I want you to somehow survive a terrible car crash and somehow not survive a small fender-bender on the way back from the hospital."
[Chimes play]
Thank you, that's called "Dad"
"If I had a million dollars, I'd pay your mother to have sex with me
Afterwards, I'd invest in the remaining $999,990"
[Chimes play]
$10 for sex with your mother!
Comedy!
I smell comedy
Well, it was comedy giving off that scent
[Sees audience member with their phone out]
I can see the light on your face, bitch! Stop texting!
This is a poem, it's a story that's meant primarily for children, but I think it's got a lesson we could all learn
"The squares lived happily in their square houses with their square yards in their square town
But, then one day a family of circles moved in from the West!
'Get outta here, roundy!' shouted one of the squares
'Why?' asked one of the circles
'Cause this is a metaphor for racism!'"
[Chimes play]
"When I walk into a party, you'd think I was one of those long, straight Tetris pieces, cause everyone's like, 'Oh yeah, this guy's here. Finally, we've been waiting for him to show up."
[Chimes play]
[Audience doesn't respond]
Like you wait in the game-- forget it, I mean...
[Audience laughs]
No! You had your chance
And finally
"Mid-October with leaves spilled like pencil shavings
The streets dicing our town into neat unfair portions
And me
Eating that pussy, baby!"
[Chimes play]
Thank you guys so much, thank you for being a part of this, coming to the show
[Audience member cheers]
I just need one person's enthusiasm, that's all I need to carry it
"Oh, ow! I'm turned on and hurt!"

Bo Burnham Poems Comments
"You, with your muscular teeth and clockwise vagina." did he just describe a duck?
*Thank you that's called Dad*
Ah I just read the entirety of egghead in one sitting and I must say he reads it better
This guy really sucks. thumbs down
I smell comedy
Get outta here *roundies*
is he,,, is he okay,,?????
Me at 2:35 *roblox death sound*
This is the best advertisement in history holy shit.
3:43 😂😂😂😂😂
Bo Burnham done this type of joke before (though it wasn't nearly as good).
It was in his 2010 show "Words, Words, Words".
He used a triangle and then a drum later. In the same damn show.
You can find that show on Pornhub.
*He clicks his tongue* oh boy.
I AM BLESSED TO HAVE EXACT SAME BIRTHDAY AS HIM
Hi I’m on here to make friends but Idk why there’s videos popping up so often can someone please let me know if this is occurring to them or whether it is just my device playing tricks on me?
All of these poems and I'm still wondering what a clockwise vagina would look like
"That one's called 'Dad'" LMAO
Says I wanna take the pressure off the audience later... I want to beat you to death with a blunt object
"I smell comedy" "Well it was comedy giving off that scent" I fucking love that
Roses are gray
Violets are a different shade of gray
Let's go chase cars
*snaps*
I am a pedantic fucker and I hate fun, so it is my duty to inform you that dogs don't exclusively see in shades of grey. To a dog's eyes, roses are piss-yellow and violets are bluish-grey.
Ama Yad tell that to burnham.
Check out my retarded Youtube videos cuz you are stupid as well.
If you like Bo Burnham who is my favorite comedian, u will like my videos as well 4 sure. Wanna give it a chance?
I didn't understand the squares and circles poem.
Xena Mystique i seen somewhere that the circles are Jews im not sure who the squares
2:05 is when the best poem starts
1:07 fucking killed me
"I smell comedy. Well, it was comedy giving off that scent." I quote this on a daily basis.
what instrument is that?
*....ding*
This guy is awesome :)
You're incomparable like a- I CANT XD
Lauryn Olivia like what
does anyone know a website where I can download the audio for free. And not that Audible or Audiobooks.com bullshit like an actual website where I dont have to sign-up or anything. If you find any plz hmu. Thx
Most things in the world aren't free, books are one those things
I FEEL LIKE THE TETRIS JOKE IS VERY UNDERRATED
Because it is
IT FUCKING IS
Did anyone notice that he licked his finger before he ran it along the chimes?
Sam Harnish well I’m buying that chimes
i swear to christ most of this comment section is just quoting the video. like shit, we watched it too
2:13 HOLY FUCK ME AT EVERYONE TBH
Where can I buy a Bo and does he come with that chime thing
My favourite part is how he keeps adjusting the mic up and fown
2:31 *licks finger* deosnt turn page but rings the instrument*
The pages are blank
Wafflez FTT 1:26 you can actually see that he’s been writing in it, he probably flipped to an empty page for that punchline
He probably used his finger to reduce friction.
The instrument isn't even mic'd, it's a prop, just realized
Edit: I lied, it's just a very photogenic chime set
Doesn't*
Does anyone know where to get those chimes he's using in this video
could we get a comedy scented candle?
She smelled like shit what a psycho
Can someone explain the I put a Chamaeleon on a dildo joke please
The chameleon changes its color to blend in with the environment, in this case red to match with the dildo. So he “blushes”
"COMEDY! I smell comedy, well it was comedy giving off that scent" 😂😭
cahmedee
We're doing a poetry unit in school where we have to create an anthology of poems we like. My English teacher better watch out.
"I wanna sharpen 50 pencils, bind them with a rubber band, stick the lead ends in your mouth and punch the erasers." Damn
THE CHIME
Motherfucking shapes
Mari is SHINY a
A poem by a mantis shrimp; Roses are a color not seen by man. Violets are another color not seen by man. I'm gonna break this clam shell.
THE DAD ONE IS TOO REAL LMAOO
Looks like someone has daddy issues
eatin that puthy baby...
I don't get the incomprarable joke...
He says "You're incomparable... Like a..."
Saying 'like a' is a comparison to something, but since the other person is incomparable, he can't finish his sentence (that is comparing them).
Ohhhhh, okey thx!
He does the joke again in an interview, it’s you’re incomparable *closes book* (incomparable like a closed book)
@Melili boi
"You're incomparable, like a.." fucking brilliant
LetItReign
"have you ever made a song where the notes are in the wrong position?"
"eh, duh"
*messes up song*
"one..."
GrangerDanger LIKE A WHAT IM CONFUSED
"in their square town" shoulda said town square :3
Same difference
ExSoFat two meanings, a town square is a place and a square town is a uh town
Difference of squares?
Lol i was watching a bts on crack playlist. Wow. I love bo so much. Im sad he isnt posting anymore☹️
im a year late but i was too before i got here
I'm eating some god-damned pickle slices while watching this shit. I love it.
Sapphirebow Pickles are damn good
see rn it's relevant, bc it's mid October
he's not reading them though, the book is empty
Smol Gay Jay WHY AM I LEING TO YOU
At 1:26 you see the words.
Better lay the book on top of your head, so later you can still turn over a page
If you look at 2:18 no the pages in fact aren't blank. He only reveals it's blank when he "reads" the poem "I Fuck Sluts"
1:35 you can see words
mid-october........ with leaves spilled like colored pencil shavings........... the streets dicing our town into neat, unfair portions....... and me........... eatin that pussy baby
wow you quoted something. congrats
Hes learning :')
we watched the video how about that
the first time he said poems, I thought he was saying puns in a funny way
poans
I wanna beat you to death with a blunt object. I wanna grab one of those high-end fashion mannequins by the ankles and bash your ribcage in. I wanna sharpen 50 penicls, bind them with a rubber band, stick the lead ends in your mouth and punch the erasers. I wanna strap you to a bed of nails, then strap that bed of nails to the hood of my car so I can watch you suffer as we drive over the speed bumps in a mall parking lot during an earthquake. I want you to somehow survive a terrible car crash and somehow not survive a small fender-bender on the way back from the hostpital.
copypasta material
Renn relatable
a small fender bender on the way home.
That one's called 'Dad'
Renn d a d
I want the book
It’s 20 dollars on ebay
@Milk and Frogs He(or she) waNTS THE BOOK
IM GETTING THIS BOOK BC IM AN HONOR WITH A GPA OF 94!!!
+JuJu Girl Something tells me you're not...
+Kayla Burney Lel my sister's coming home for my G6 graduation in May
>Lel (instead of 'lol')
>BC (instead of 'because')
>IM (instead of 'I'm')
>GPA of 94 (As GPAs are graded on a 4 point scale)
Highly doubt it mate.
+Kayla Burney Damn, you're fucking savage.
Kayla Burney Using "lol" is also bad, but "lel" makes me want to survive a horrible car crash but then die to a fender bender on the way home from the hospital.
smelt like shit Whatta psycho
omf am i stpid!!!!! I CANT FIND THIS SHIT FUNNY I HAVE NO IDEA WHY U EPOPLE FIND IT FUNNY!??!!?!?!
CloudDino here ill answers, this is our humour, and you have a different type of humour but you dont see us asking why you like that type of humour even if its shit. So be respectful, thank.
CloudDino we have souls.
To each his own
This “shit” is our humor. You have different type of humor but you don’t see us asking why do you like that kind of humor even though it’s complete shit. So just shut up. If you don’t enjoy it, better leave.
t h a n k
CloudDino Most of these are a reversal of expectations. The beginning parts make you expect something to happen and the result is the opposite of that. People usually find humor in the unexpected, like that one video when they set the rabbit free and a bird or something ate it.
That fucking chime
+TheBaconAsian "ohhhhh a genie just came" Bo Burnham
TheBaconAsian
where can I buy one I want him
CultOfkujo or I've heard the accept MCRISNTDEADMOM
buyboburnham.com
thats where i got mine
Lilly Henriksen i swear it's not
the book? like any book store
You want the idea of him.
That last one
Not even a smirk.
you aren't human then
2:08-2:39 is exactly how I feel and its fucking HILARIOUS! 😂
Something you wanna talk about?
What are those squares he's talking about? I know circles mean Jews.
I think he ment the squares as whites and circles as blacks but i could be wrong
Could be, but I doubt it. He had a chance to scoop in actual IRL racism. I'm sure I would've taken the oppurtunity.
@Supreet Sahu Except without the research he wouldn't know that he had the opportunity to scoop in real racism.
he blushed.... there we go
the grim rihrih you’re a fucking idiot
The joke is that blushing means going red, like from embarrassment
The chameleon went red because it changes colour to match its surroundings
It’s usually embarrassing to be put near a dildo, so saying it blushed has layers.
I FUCKING LOVE THIS GUY HES SO FUCKING HILARIOUS
IKR HES SO FUCKIN FUNNIE
NotaGDChannelAnymore *funny
what the fuck is this shit
Art and poetry
+Scomister r art is alive nothing is real!
@Scomister r art my ass. what a fucking cop out.
He is so good!!!
I PUT A CHAMELEON ON A RED DILDO :) .......:/......
He blushed there we go
BLANK he said right as I read this
JC Klatte it's creepy how often that happens to me
I THOUGHT THAT SAID CHARMELEON IM DEAD
I forgot the line, that’s why he paused, cause he was trying to remember it right?
Jegbmf Pretty sure the pause was to signify the time that passes until the chameleon adapts to the new background, but he definitely intended for the audience to start wondering why he suddenly stopped (as if that was already the end of the poem)
He said 1,000,000 -10 and said 999,999 it should be 999,990
He said 999,990.
the look he gives the audience at 2:50. i find it so funny omg
He tries not to crack up after he does it too, you can see in the close up right after
@Dan Williams I think it's because it was spontaneous and he didn't really know how to react to himself hahaha
that _Salty ™_ look
It's important to note that these are not poems, they're all prose. I think Bo is confused.
I think a couple were poems. "Dad" was definitely prose, but the rest, I would imagine, kinda depend on how the poem is written and/or intended to be read.
some of them are poems, some of them are prose, all of them are amazing.
@Gabby King
Well said.
@Tom Burgess
You can make
anything a poem
by structing it
like this
Perfection
you are perfection.
@Patrick Sarmiento your pick up lines suck
@Patrick Sarmiento hahahaha!
"I wanna beat you to death with a blunt object. I wanna grab one of those high end fashion mannequins by the ankles and bash your rib cage in. I wanna sharpen 50 pencils, bind them with a rubber band, stick the led into your mouth and punch the erasers. I wanna strap you to a bed of nails then strap that bed of nails to the hood of my car so i can watch you suffer as we drive over speed bumps in a mall parking lot during an earthquake. I want you to some how survive a terrible car crash, then somehow not survive a small fender bender on our way back from the hospital."
yeah we also watched the video
@dwizard321 Saved me the effort to copy/paste it.
That's not the whole poem either!!
Bio The Brit what's the rest of the poem then cuz this is all I heard
Thank you that one’s called Dad
meant the middle sort of one, as in that pencil one and all that wonderful stuff....
Well that one second to last was ummm.... something else....
Whats egghead?
His poetry book.
And to the right we can see the stereotypical teenage boy, quoting song lyrics and not spelling the word "fucking" out.
@FoxfadaSmile Because everybody knows, if you say "fucking" on youtube without the star to censor it, the FBI will find you.
@Anna Sofie Oh yes, we must watch our backs now.
