Bo Burnham: The Funniest Thing: Joking at a Time Like This

I don't know what it's going to be like to write this book. I don't know what it's going to be like to read it. I know that it's going to change me. And I know I want to do this so I can find out how it ends.

Who am I? You can call me Jay. I'm a 27 year old White guy from Canada, and as of January of 2022, I've watched Bo Burnham: Inside on Netflix twenty-six times. Once for each letter of the alphabet. That might seem weird, but there's a reason. When Inside came out on May 30th last year, I fell under its spell at once. I was already primed to notice its subtle clues, and follow its hidden directions. I was prepared to embark on a secret journey of healing, and understanding, and self-discovery. Now I'm ready to tell you all about it. And I'm ready to go a little crazy in the process.

So, why did you pick up this book? Most likely, you're curious. You watched Bo Burnham: Inside yourself. You probably wouldn't be reading this if you hadn't. Maybe you've sat through the Special a hundred times, and maybe you've only watched it once. Either way, you were curious enough to pick up this book. How deep does the rabbit hole go, and what might we find at the bottom of it? What's all of this going to be about? Well. A little bit of everything that I can think of.
