Description
His first full-length contains thirteen of his hilarious, irreverent, and craftily worded songs plus a full DVD of his internet videos, Comedy Central Presents, and other performances. Before he reached his eighteenth birthday, Bo entered the mainstream consciousness with internet videos (viewed over 20 million times) of him playing uproarious songs with ingenious wordplay and bad puns. This is the best of his work to date.

Very funny. A lot of gay, racial, and sex innuendos. A great CD to listen to while on a long trip, to help pass an hour away or stay awake. Listened to three of his CD's during a four hour trip, definitely kept me entertained. ... Read more...
There are never any regrets when it comes to supporting Bo and his work. He's smart, funny, and introspective. He asks the questions no one says out loud. He makes smart jokes and makes you take a double take. Pure entertainment. 100/100 stars. Go Bo! ... Read more...
Self Titled and Hilarious.
The title of this album is the only non witty part of it. The rest consists of songs which are both funny and smart. A former youtube sensation kid got his break and became a full fledged mainstream comedian. And these songs are what started it. I first saw him late one night on Comedy Central. After the show ended I spent the next couple of hours on Youtube listening to material I just saw and his other stuff. Or rather old stuff, from this album as I saw the Words Words Words Special, which if his second album. And I enjoyed all of it. His "rap" delivery is as good as Eminem's, fortunately his lyrics, are both wittier and funnier. Hilarious in fact. To put it simply the kid is brilliant. Very well educated, informed, and quite talented. His music compliments his jokes. When I showed his material to my wife she immediately noticed the same thing and we told our family and friends about him, so far everyone seems to enjoy his comedy. His material is for adults, both language as well as subject matter, so be warned if you're prudish and do not like listening to humour about serious subjects. But again, the lyrics, melody, delivery, all brilliant, it proves that when done right one can laugh at pretty much anything. Not all of his material is musical but most is. This makes him different from so many of the same old comedy routines. It makes him stand out, and though usually I am not a huge fan of such a method, he makes it work and his act is better for it. I highly recommend this to any comedy fan.This is a CD and DVD combo, you get the full album and about a half hours of his live stand up plus a few videos. ... Read more...
Slightly less than what I hoped for
I'm a huge fan of Bo Burnham, I've been following him on youtube for over a year. That being said, this CD is a bit sub par for his usual material. There's only one new song, the rest are studio or live rehashes of older ones (albeit, great songs). Furthermore, all the live songs are recordings from the Comedy Central special that we get on the DVD. Basically all the live songs on the CD are just the audio from the DVD. The bonus home videos and improv show are a nice addition tho. I still love Bo, but this CD could have been so much better. ... Read more...
