taken in the context of the rest of the special, these songs are sarcastic. make no mistake, bo burnham has nothing but disdain for jeffrey bezos, whose wealth is built on the exploitation of his workers, whose courier service turned out to be pivotal in a time where going to the market yourself is potentially fatal.

cj the x does a great breakdown of this song in the beginning of their essay "Bo Burnham vs. Jeff Bezos", but one thing they say in the essay really stuck out to me:

"Seeing someone 'win' at capitalism is fucked because it leaves us asking, 'Is capitalism the game we're supposed to be playing?' We're born into this nightmare where profit delineates value. Our consent in this value judgement is manufactured and assumed, but we did make it, and we're all stickin' to it. Humanity set the parameters for success, then we got our Übermensch. Here he is! (Gestures to a portrait of Jeffrey Bezos.) Thanks! I hate it." -- timestamp 13:24 of Bo Burnham vs. Jeff Bezos - Video Essay.

He's actually critising whoever cheers for billionaires, because let's be honest they don't need our encouragement or congratulations (because Bezos became the richest man during quarantine)

[MayorBrownn]

He picked bezos because he’s the world richest man by a lot

[Dan-B]

What makes this funnier is the context (I’m pretty sure) that it was originally a full song, but Bezos being Bezos it wasn’t cleared, so Bo just included the clipped parts anyway :P

I love how you said "His net worth went up during quarantine because he got amazon delivery" and the thought of that is hilarious, and I wish that's how it worked lol

Bezos 2 is set to the melody of "Art Is Dead"

[maza]

Bezos 1 has absolutely no reason to such a banger jesus christ
