10 great quotes by bo burnham
- I was doing theater in my high school, and I started writing sort of silly songs on the piano backstage in summer theater. I eventually put them online and started getting this little following.
- Postmodern comedy doesn’t work well with very old audiences, because it’s making fun of the comedy they enjoy.
- I think the comedy clubs tend to homogenize the acts a little bit, because they force them to be palatable in way too many environments.
- I have a pretty good math mind, so I can see patterns, but I don’t have a great ear. It’s like a tragedy – I can see so much more natural musical ability in so many other people.
- At once I feel that comedy is this amazing sort of transcendent thing, and I’m also open to the fact that maybe it’s just an evolutionary hiccup, something that upright apes do in their free time.
- I misdirect the audience, so they have no idea where they are or who they’re listening to.
- I’ve always liked the format of YouTube, sharing things for free, which is a nice exchange between people.
- For me, if you distill comedy down, it is surprise and the unexpected. That has to be it on its most base level, in any form.
- I try and write satire that’s well-intentioned. But those intentions have to be hidden. It can’t be completely clear, and that’s what makes it comedy.
- I’ve found nothing but support and generosity from older comics. I think comedians are a lot nicer than the stigma is, at least from my experience.
