WELCOME TO THE INTERNET - BO BURNHAM (ANIMATION)

The song is from Bo Burnham’s new special, “Inside.”

Originally uploaded this a few weeks ago, but it got taken down. It seems like versions of this song are being left up now, so going to try again, before I forget that I even did this.

I like the subtle implication that clippy caused 9/11

[kriszenn]

the internet was both the best and worst thing mankind has created

The scariest villains are the ones who've already won

I like how the voice of the internet is portrayed by screens and apps instead of a person/humanoid figure. it really adds to that disconnected feeling and how you’re the only one that is actually reacting to these things— the internet doesn’t care about your feelings (hence the chilling laugh breaking the emotional moment)

"Hold on to your socks"
Dobby comes out from pencil drawings holding his sock. What was he doing with the sock before? 😂

The special only came out 2 weeks ago, damn yall are fast

When the girl got overwhelmed in public and retreated to the internet, my jaw literally dropped. That's so clever and relatable.

What's sad is how accurately this portrays the internet

[robotninja]

Being part of Gen Z really makes this song feel so much more hauntingly personal.
I never knew a world without the internet and must've been playing on my mom's iphone since I was 5 years old. Hearing about what life was like before it existed is honestly so surreal because it's just so far removed from the experience I grew up with. My parents would ride bikes halfway across town to talk to their friends, look up answers to questions at the library, and fall asleep reading a book under the covers. Now here I am, awake at 1AM on a school night watching youtube because this is just how I grew up in the world.

The part with the kid growing up made me feel quite sad especially when they couldn’t handle the anxieties of the real world and turned to their phone. The relatability was done very well in this animation.

[ethanisnotme]

this sounds like a disney villain’s song

[thelibrarian]

I'm seeing no love for the "meh" face at the end epitomizing the fact that information overload perpetuates the same "[tragic]" apathy which is supposed to be discouraged by the internet but which it inevitably embodies. Or it's just a fun emoji to enf on. I love it either way.

[snoozlythesleepy]

This is why most of gen z is so depressed-

Being constantly overwhelmed with information from the internet and not knowing how to deal with such quick and ever-changing emotions so instead we just become numb-

[north]

The middle bit hits hard. Growing up with unfiltered access to the internet did harm me in ways I can't quite comprehend

[chas]

“just before your time”
*baby dancing*
😭✋

[Moon]

Can I just say? I love the part after the laugh bc it feels like the Internet is manipulating you. Like it’s trying to get into your mind. Y’know?

[LiterallyRyan_Gosling]

I like to think that during the calmer section Bo (aka the internet in this song) tries to make you feel nostalgic to the internet and make it feel nice and comforting, then as you embrace it he has won by making you use it more and more until you are completely engulfed by it, giving him the last laugh
