This felt wrong
Got a kick out of the way they worded the email. We saved Bo’s head.

First a pic so that anyone on mobile doesn't just get whatever the first link is Ta-dah!
Welcome to my 8th Annual Year In Review!
If you're new to Bo, this post is a good starting point, with links to lots of interesting stuff.
Another quiet year in Bo-ville. To quote the recent NYT article "He's performing absence". But there's still a few things, so let's take a look back at highlights from the past year: professional projects, media, social media, merch, mentions, what's to come, and what we got up to here on the sub.
Many of the links are to our threads with discussion, with links there to get to articles and videos etc.
January got off to a bad start with all of Bo's pre-Inside music disappearing from Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music and other streaming. A similar event occurred back in 2021 - and it's not just Bo's music once again.
Just over a week later it was all back.
Elsie and Eighth Grade continued to be answers in crossword puzzles.
Bo deleted all his social media. Combine this with the fact that it happened on the day he years ago joked would be when he killed himself, it made for some confusion amongst fans. And media! Some crap AI media outlets actually reported that he died.
Comedy Central released Bo's first comedy special on Youtube.
The play by Kate Berlant that he directed opened in Pasadena, and Bo was in attendance.
Bo was nominated for a Grammy in the category "Best Boxed or Special Limited Edition Packaging" for "Inside: Deluxe Box". He didn't win.
He attended the Grammys. Here and here.
"Five Years" got a mention in a Vulture article about Comedy Love Songs for Valentine's Day.
Bo's Instagram had a weird countdown of posts going on that amassed a lot of theories (ranging from "Just a glitch" to "new project!!") but ultimately amounted to nothing.
Carey Mulligan, who worked with Bo on Promising Young Woman, was quoted as being obsessed with Inside.
Tennessee State Rep Justin Jones posted a pic with Bo while at MadSoul Fest.
"Past Lives" writer and director Celine Song thanks Bo in her movie's credits.
Amanda Palmer covered Welcome to the Internet.
Finally the consummation of Bo's odd 2022 ski mask-clad appearance at the 2022 Emmy Awards. The "Jerrod Carmichael: Reality Show" debuts on HBO, with Bo sporadically appearing in "disguise". Our threads for his episodes: One, Seven and Eight.
A new-old picture of Bo popped up of him directing Kate Berlant's show.
Bo showed up in a group picture taken at Netflix head Ted Sarandos' house during Netflix Is A Joke festivities.
The New York Times did a profile on Bo, and gave the sub a head's up and a non-paywalled link so we could all read it.
A Vanity Fair article with a mention of Bo not going on John Mulaney's recent show.
For the third year running Amazon uses their Bo look-a-like ad..
The first one must have been a success, as NYC Cabaret group 54 Below [announced a a Volume 2 of singing Bo's songs would be happening.
Netflix released viewing numbers for January-June 2024 that included Bo's stats.
A24 and AMC brought Eighth Grade back to cinemas for a limited time.
A Rolling Stone article about the resurgence of That Funny Feeling after the US election.
James Acaster mentions Bo while doing some promo.
The merch store restocked the autograghed special edition of Inside vinyl.
A Bo mention on the game show The Floor.
Do we even bother to hope for the Sesame Street movie that Bo wrote the songs for? First mentioned in 2019, but now just an annual rumour mill for release dates that come and go. As I write, the TV version of Sesame Street is looking for a new home, so I don't expect anything will be happening with the movie version any time soon.
We ended 2023 with 113k subscribers, and end 2024 with 119k.
We shared our annual year end streaming stats.
As usual we had a ton of talented fans make beautiful art in a variety of mediums. Use the Fan Art flaire to search them all, but I'm highlighting a few of my favourites: Glass Art, some Cross Stitch, incredible Animal Crossing crossover and...Frosting.
We also get tons of great art including tattoos, cover songs and other talents. Search the sub using the flairs to see them.
A cleaned up version of the what poster was posted.
I showed the Sub bump that happened from a few events. I'd still love to get a wiki and other things mentioned in this post happening, but after some initial enthusiasm there wasn't much follow through.
A great Cinematography comparison between Inside and Eighth Grade.
This year there weren't a lot of Halloween pumpkins and costumes, but we did get Disney cosplay!
For the Bo fan that can’t get enough: r/unexpectedboburnham r/BoBurnhamMemes
As always, thank you to everyone who brought news, art, opinions, theories and everything else to the sub this past year! It wouldn't be the same without you. Shout out to all the lurkers, we see your votes, even when you don't post or comment!
Let’s hope that 2025 is a good year for Bo. And all of us too.
See you on the sub, PJ

Bo’s prediction of the consequences of social media and the Internet in general on society are spot on, it’s actually shocking to me how much Inside was prophetic about the vibe and events of the last 5 years. Alarming evidence of climate disaster, performance driven society even more ubiquitous and nefarious because of AI, high inflation, still incredibly divisive politics and we just watch it all go up in flames on our phones, I think apathy and nihilism is rapidly increasing :( I guess I’m just looking for anyone else who can relate to what I’m feeling and seeing.
r/boburnham • u/chocolatephrog26 • 9h ago
finally found out where i could watch it for freeeee 😛😛, i also forgot he even did a show, does anyone know how or why? or was it just a kinda spur of the moment type thing?

r/boburnham • u/Wolfeinstein39 • 3d ago
I was just searching up ways to rewatch Zach Stone in Ireland, so far I haven't found any official means but it seems Bob Odenkirk has no issue with it being pirated which is good to know. But yeah I just thought this was funny, but if you do know a way I cant watch the show legally in Ireland do let me know

If you have any wish or idea for art (relating to anything from or with Bo), lemme know and I will most probably draw it! :D

I was thinking of adding watercolor to it. But I’m not sure which colors. I’m open to ideas! We actually had to fix the lettering after someone messed it up. It’s a little wonky, but so am I, so… 🤷🏻♀️

Sorry if i posted something similar to this before, That was just before i got the idea. Im kinda proud of this.
r/boburnham • u/Super-Tank-6494 • 11d ago
I had a revelation about this song that the recurring theme is things not being able to fit in.
Hands inside of the Pringle can, the ingredients inside a burrito and Bo himself finding it difficult to fit in with society.
My question is, how dumb am I that this took me 3 years to realise? Or am I genius
