Bo Burnham Wants You To Know That Justin Bieber Is Working For Satan

Between the chain necklaces layered over his tightly fitted shirts and the ballads he sings for an intentionally nondescript lady, comedian Bo Burnham's got his Bieber parody pretty finely tuned.
"Repeat Stuff," his just-released music video parodying pop stars, is an evolution of his hilarious stand-up bit taking singers to task for their manipulative love songs aimed at teenage girls. Our favorite part of the video, though, has to be the overarching implication that Bieber and other similarly manufactured teen heartthrobs may have sold their souls to Satan.

The comedian hits the pop industry from every angle, mocking its songs’ scant lyricism, formulaic structures and press obsession. Burnham’s verses also skewer the formulaic writing behind most contemporary pop. For the most part, it relies on the same 4 chords because it’s scientifically proven that the brain can easily mistake its ability to recognize and predict a song's structure with actually liking the song. Similarly, the lyrics should be so vague so that everyone can relate to them. As Burnham sings: "I love your eyes and their bluish, brownish, greenish color."

It's fricking genius. It's the most creative stand up comedy routine that I have ever seen. I highly recommend.

yeah, i was blown away by it.

One critique I have of it is that it is at times more clever than it is funny.

Ok dudes, this better be good...If it doesn't meet the hype I will come back and write a very scathing review in this thread. Scathing

bo is pretty twisted. I love it

I hate to hype it up so much that you can't really enjoy it, but it's seriously good.
I watched an interview with Bo Burnham where he was talking about how it became a thing for comics to be vulger so that they could be edgy and push the audience. At this point that has become cliche, and it really isn't edgy anymore. Now, the new thing that would be edgy would be to put something that is really heartfelt into the comedy.
It's just something that I thought was interesting to keep in mind when watching his stuff.

He's very clever.
The deity song bit was outstanding
