Watch the stand-up comedy video 'Andrew Santino and Erik Griffin Talk About Bo Burnham's Special "Inside" | Bad Friends Clips' from Bad Friends Clips on Comedy Buff. Published 2021-06-16. Transcript available.

We've seen Bo Burnham's new Netflix special.
Everyone keeps talking about it, and I want to watch it,
but I think it's one of these alternative type, you know.
What are you laughing at, George?
You hear George chuckling.
What are you chuckling about, George?
I want to check it out.
Yeah, it is one of these alternative types of things.
It's not that funny, but it's very interesting.
Yeah, see, that's what I'm hearing.
So then it's going to be labeled brilliant.
What does that even mean, George?
Explain that.
Well, I think there's no audience.
I May Destroy You was the show I was trying to think of.
I couldn't think of her name.
Do you know that show?
No.
Yeah, you like it, don't you?
See, this is my point.
Watchmen was good.
I like when it's non-white bullshit anymore.
I like when non-white creators are making super unique shit
because I think even when they do submit stuff for the most part,
it gets channeled into this like, I know, but can you make an Atlanta?
You know what I mean?
Do you know what I'm saying?
That's my biggest beef is they're pushing out the same shit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So at least that show's good, isn't it?
I May Destroy You is wild.
You should watch it.
It comes across as if...
It's fucking funky.
Not to say that this is true, but it comes across as if the white production
side,
they get to live their dreams and like, let's make whatever we want to make
and then we'll see if it works.
Right.
And on the other side, it has to be like something they know.
Well, it has to be something they're familiar with culturally because otherwise...
Or some white guy has to take a chance on someone like Atlanta.
Issa Rae or...
Yeah, yeah, they take a chance.
They go, let's do this.
And then you see this, you know...
What I love about Insecure is like, you feel like you're a fly on the wall to
these black
women's lives.
Yeah.
You know, and it's just like, you just go, oh, and then they're portraying them
as like
powerful, successful, but also sexual creatures that...
Humans.
Human beings.
You know, because I come from an era of the 80s and stuff where like, if you
saw a black
woman in a movie or TV, she got to be sassy as hell.
She got to be like, you know...
You know.
Ghetto.
Yeah.
Whatever it is like that.
Don't make me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Not...
They're never portrayed as people that like having sex or like doing things.
Or just being like a normal...
A normal person.
Yeah, they always inflate these caricatures.
Yeah, and so then when you watch Insecure, you're just like, oh, shit, this is
like, you
know...
Yeah, they're modern day women.
That's what I May Destroy You is kind of like.
That's why you like that show.
No, but what were you saying?
You were saying before that, there was a show.
You were just saying.
What did you just say before that?
What'd he say?
Who?
Hacks?
Oh, he's had a...
Oh, no.
We're talking about Bo Burnham's thing.
Oh, yeah.
So tell me about Bo Speck.
I haven't seen it, but this one of those things that like the...
You know, what's that one like real woke, artsy, like the Verge or whatever...
Sure.
One of those publications.
One of those publications where it has to be like, oh, this is the most genius
thing I've
ever...
Is that what they said?
Yeah, it's that kind of thing.
You're getting...
That's the kind of publicity it's getting, so I want to check it out.
Look, I'm sure...
I mean, he's an artsy fartsy kid.
He's always been like that.
Yeah, it's how he came famous.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think he's crazy talented.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, there's a song...
That song he put out, Art Is Dead, is one of the best songs I've ever heard.
Did you ever hear that song?
No.
Art Is Dead is so good.
Just pull up the lyrics.
Just Art Is Dead.
I met him when I was doing my new faces in Montreal.
When he was like 16.
Yeah, he was like 16, 17, saying like crazy shit on stage, but he's always been
like...
Look at how powerful this is, though.
This next song is honestly about nothing at all, but it helps me sleep at night.
Art Is Dead, Art Is Dead, Art Is Dead.
Entertainers like to seem complicated, but we're not complicated.
I can explain it pretty easily.
Have you ever been to a birthday party for children, and one of the children
won't stop screaming
because he's a little attention attractor.
When he goes up to be a comic or actor, he'll be rewarded for never maturing,
for never understanding
or learning, that every day can't be about him.
There's other people, you selfish asshole.
Is this about Bobby?
But truly, all of this money you worked very hard for.
I slept in late while you worked at the drugstore.
My drug's attention.
I'm an addict, but I get rewarded.
I get paid to indulge in my habit.
It's all an illusion.
I'm wearing makeup.
I'm wearing makeup, makeup.
It's great, man.
It's great.
I'm doing it.
No justice, by the way.
But my point is, it's a deep, wonderful song about what it's like to be a comic.
I think he has good internal struggle.
I think that this special is portraying those things.
That's great.
My only problem with these alternative specials is, let's not call them that.
I'm just saying, let's make a new thing.
Well, it's called a comedy special.
Because even back in the day, when you saw, we call them one-man shows, one-woman
shows.
And you knew you weren't watching a comedy special.
That's true.
You were watching a different piece of art.
Yeah.
So what I don't appreciate is that now they're doing these things and then shitting
on the
people that go, the art form of going on stage and-
Just doing stand-up.
And just doing stand-up.
As if like, oh, well, this isn't enough.
Right.
It's like, what are you talking about?
They're two totally separate things.
They're two totally separate things.
Right.
I know.
And I don't like that.
But the problem is now with the youth, her age range, they weren't used to that.
So all they're used to now is, categorically, a TikTok guy is a comedian.
Do you know what I'm saying?
The lines are blurred.
I hear what you're saying, but I disagree as that being the reason.
What is it?
No, they are used to it.
They just don't like it because it sucks.
I mean, straight up.
Yeah.
Like, listen to me.
You go on Netflix and you look how many comedy specials they have on there.
Yeah.
They suck.
A good amount of them.
A good amount of them.
Just the ones that are good, they stand out.
You know, it's hard to make a, it's a hard thing to achieve.
Yeah.
And it ain't even about the person not being funny or whatever.
It's just about, it's hard to capture what happens in a live,
show.
It's impossible.
So, and then they were just handing out specials like candy.
It didn't even matter.
Are you the most famous person in Guatemala?
Well, you're getting a special.
Are you the most famous person in fucking whatever?
Pick a country in Europe.
We're going to give you a special.
And they just were like inundating these young people with like all this stuff.
Right.
Every network, Showtime, HBO, Netflix, Amazon.
And they just were like, and so now, you know, if I was young now, you'd be
like,
why do they call it special?
Because it's not anymore.
So I don't think it is anything to do with like, they're not used to it.
They're just like, oh, that's that thing that they do that no one likes or
watches.
The problem is comedy is so hard to capture.
Yes, it is.
So, so inherently specials are tough.
Like they really just have to be a moment in time.
That's why like Eddie's shit was great.
Cause it was a moment in time.
Yeah.
Right.
He's also a phenomenal performer.
I know, but it also goes to the comic.
It was a moment in time.
Shit was happening.
It was a, it was like an amalgamation of like, his just, he's just becoming
mega famous.
He's a great writer.
He's a great performer.
He's just becoming globally famous.
Like that was just, timing was a perfect, same with Chappelle.
Timing was perfect for Dave.
Yeah.
But I don't even know if it has, that's how a great special is born.
But it's like, the timing is perfect.
But with him though, I mean, what's the timing of six specials?
I just think that.
No, I'm saying when they first crack, the first specials that you see, the
reason that
they crack is because, you know, like Sebastian didn't pop until his fourth
special or whatever.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But that's because the timing wasn't right for the early ones.
He wasn't that he wasn't funny.
He was funny, but we're all funny.
Everyone that's good enough is professional.
You're funny.
You'll go rip a room anywhere.
The special, the idea of a special, it's why Bobby won't make one, which I
agree with.
Because it's so hard to capture what you really want to put down forever.
And you have to have material, you know.
I love giving you layups.
That was like, boom, off the backboard.
He broke the glass.
No, but it isn't.
Have you ever watched comedy specials?
I've seen Joe Coy.
Joe Coy, right.
That, of course.
Of course.
Yeah, who else would she see?
And by the way, and that's why Netflix does that.
Right.
Right.
He looks like you.
Yeah.
Do you like this guy that looks like you?
How did you like Joe Coy's special?
That was funny.
I liked it.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Have you ever seen anybody else's?
John Mulaney's.
Right.
You like John Mulaney.
We talked about that.
And you know he's not single anymore.
Well, he looks like an older version of the guy she likes, so she's seeing like,
ooh, my
guy's going to end up looking like this.
John Mulaney's like a tall, skinny puppet.
Yeah.
What do you mean?
That guy looks like a young sex machine.
They all start like that.
John Mulaney did not look like that at any point.
They start like that, and they turn into a fucking monster.
Ventriloquist?
Yeah.
No, but no, he does not look like those young guys.
No.
No, but so you've seen Mulaney's, and you've seen Joe Coy's.
That's it, huh?
Trevor Noah.
Oh, okay.
What'd you think about that?
I liked it.
You did, huh?
Okay.
How do you really feel, Andrew?
I didn't say anything.
I just said you did.
Andrew's about to call George.
Take that out.
Take that part out.
No.
No, I've never, I've only seen one thing he's ever done.
What I'm saying is there's so many.
Yeah, there's too many.
There's too many.
Yeah, there is too many.
And you know what?
It's all going to stop now.
Oh, wait, because, like, listen.
It's over now.
Netflix cornered the market.
Yeah.
They overpaid for comedy, so people will walk down the street and go, hey, do
you have
a special on Netflix?
That's why they did that.
So they own it now.
It used to be HBO.
Remember how HBO used to be the thing?
They were the biggest.
We were coming up.
We were like, I want to get an HBO special.
That was the dream of every comic.
Now, it's like, I don't even know, I don't even know what the dream is anymore
as a comic.
I think the dream is just to continue, you know, Jay Leno.
The dream is to go viral.
That's the dream.
The dream is just to create a big fan base and have them go to see you live.
That's what I'm saying.
That's the same thing.
But I'm saying it's not about, that's good now, because now you can try to
continue to
make your own shit.
Oh, well, because now it's like, you know, we need it.
Okay, before-
I want people to see me live.
That's all I really want.
Come see me live and have fun with me.
But I'm saying before there was only certain outlets in entertainment.
So you had to go that route.
Right.
So that's why it seemed as if, well, you got to work this hard to get like a
sitcom,
to get a special.
Right.
But now, look, you could be a funny Christian comic who got a million followers
and you
making $500,000 a year.
More.
Those kids are selling out arenas.
I mean, I'm saying it's crazy.
So there's a niche market for, there's that, even that guy, what's his name?
Darren Criss or whatever his name is, Country Mama or Mama Country or whatever
the hell
his name is.
The guy that got clowned at-
Oh, at Just for Laughs.
At Just for Laughs.
Southern Mama, is that it?
Southern Mama, that's him.
Darren Knight.
Darren Knight.
I knew his name was Darren.
We'll go to the images, obviously.
I don't want to see a video.
I knew his name was Darren.
Yeah, he did Just for Laughs with us.
This guy's huge.
Well, right.
What did we do?
He came to Just for Laughs.
He was a-
Look up his net worth.
He's huge.
He was on the comics to watch, right?
Variety.
And you and I were together.
Well, I mean, this is one of the many years that we were there.
But like, I remember he did his gala, right?
And he bombed and he went home because it didn't go well, right?
Like, he freaked out.
No, this was like he was on stage criticizing the other comics.
Oh, he was?
Yeah.
Oh, I just heard he bombed.
And then they confronted him in the hallway.
Oh.
Like, Chris Redd was like going in on him in the hallway.
Because he was talking shit.
He just, what he was saying, you know, the stuff he was saying, like, you know,
like-
Net worth two million is wrong.
Yeah.
By the way, zoom in on that website real fast.
Punch in on that website.
Just, oh, no, no, no.
Just pinch and pull.
Pinch.
Pinch your fingers.
Oh, Jesus, George.
Go back.
You know how you can just pull your fingers on that?
There you go.
Look at the website that we try to verify.
Glooby Gang Official.
Yeah, that's who we're going to take that.
You don't go there from like-
But anyway, the guy makes so much money.
I know it.
Because he's like on Facebook, too.
So what I'm saying, though, is like, and it's no knock on him.
What I'm saying is like, he has his following.
Yeah, no.
Yeah.
That's what you need to create.
That's it.
So like, so now we're in a situation where you don't need-
Like, sometimes I'm on Instagram and I'm like-
Actually, I had lunch with this kid the other day.
His name is Simi.
Oh, man.
I forget how to say his name.
But anyway, he's like, he's rolling with these like Nelk Network.
Nelk Boys.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I know who they are.
Yeah.
He rolls with them.
Yeah.
Dude, these people, they sold like $60 million in merch last year.
I know.
Yeah.
They got like, you know, and this kid's like, he's got 2 million followers.
He's so huge on the internet.
You know, he wants to be a comic.
So that's who I met with him.
And I was like, we can't go to open mics, man.
You know what I mean?
Like, go to like, you know.
Or just tour.
Who cares?
But that's what I said to him, too.
I said, if you want to like-
Let him go do his own thing.
He wants to set it up.
You know?
But I was like, it just was, it just was, it's amazing.
Like, it's amazing how we're now in a day and age where you can have your own
fan base
that no one has to know anything about.
Right.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, you can live in your own little lane.
You live your own little, you have your own lane.
That's nice, though.
It's really amazing.
Well, it's nice.
It's an amazing time, so.
Are you touring, by the way?
I told him to like, let's start getting some stuff going.
He's got to get out.
Yes, I just went to West Palm Beach.
I'm going to be, I'm in Austin this week, but I'm going for this movie.
What are you doing to Austin?
The movie that Bobby and I did together, it's called Hero Mode, it's coming out.
So it's like, and I'm going to the premiere and do like Q&A.
In Austin?
Yeah.
But I saw a review of the movie and it was not good.
Is that it right there?
Yeah.
I saw this review of the movie and they said like, oh, there was this cringy
line in the
movie and I was like, oh, I think that's my line.
What was the line?
I forgot what it was, but I was like, I'm pretty sure that was my line.
So it's like, I don't know.
We'll see.
Hero Mode.
What do you do in the movie?
I'm a teacher.
What does he do?
Bobby's the principal of the school.
Oh, so annoying.
Can you even imagine?
What a terrible film.
It's going to be bad if you both are in it together.
Yeah.
We'll see you next time.

You'll go rip a room anywhere.
The special, the idea of a special, it's why Bobby won't make one, which I
agree with.
Because it's so hard to capture what you really want to put down forever.
And you have to have material, you know.
I love giving you layups.
That was like, boom, off the backboard.
He broke the glass.
No, but it isn't.
Have you ever watched comedy specials?
I've seen Joe Coy.
Joe Coy, right.
That, of course.
Of course.
Yeah, who else would she see?
And by the way, and that's why Netflix does that.
Right.
Right.
He looks like you.
Yeah.
Do you like this guy that looks like you?
How did you like Joe Coy's special?
That was funny.
I liked it.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Have you ever seen anybody else's?
John Mulaney's.
Right.
You like John Mulaney.
We talked about that.
And you know he's not single anymore.
Well, he looks like an older version of the guy she likes, so she's seeing like,
ooh, my
guy's going to end up looking like this.
John Mulaney's like a tall, skinny puppet.
Yeah.
What do you mean?
That guy looks like a young sex machine.
They all start like that.
John Mulaney did not look like that at any point.
They start like that, and they turn into a fucking monster.
Ventriloquist?
Yeah.
No, but no, he does not look like those young guys.
No.
No, but so you've seen Mulaney's, and you've seen Joe Coy's.
That's it, huh?
Trevor Noah.
Oh, okay.
What'd you think about that?
I liked it.
You did, huh?
Okay.
How do you really feel, Andrew?
I didn't say anything.
I just said you did.
Andrew's about to call George.
Take that out.
Take that part out.
No.
No, I've never, I've only seen one thing he's ever done.
What I'm saying is there's so many.
Yeah, there's too many.
There's too many.
Yeah, there is too many.
And you know what?
It's all going to stop now.
Oh, wait, because, like, listen.
It's over now.
Netflix cornered the market.
Yeah.
They overpaid for comedy, so people will walk down the street and go, hey, do
you have
a special on Netflix?
That's why they did that.
So they own it now.
It used to be HBO.
Remember how HBO used to be the thing?
They were the biggest.
We were coming up.
We were like, I want to get an HBO special.
That was the dream of every comic.
Now, it's like, I don't even know, I don't even know what the dream is anymore
as a comic.
I think the dream is just to continue, you know, Jay Leno.
The dream is to go viral.
That's the dream.
The dream is just to create a big fan base and have them go to see you live.
That's what I'm saying.
That's the same thing.
But I'm saying it's not about, that's good now, because now you can try to
continue to
make your own shit.
Oh, well, because now it's like, you know, we need it.
Okay, before-
I want people to see me live.
That's all I really want.
Come see me live and have fun with me.
But I'm saying before there was only certain outlets in entertainment.
So you had to go that route.
Right.
So that's why it seemed as if, well, you got to work this hard to get like a
sitcom,
to get a special.
Right.
But now, look, you could be a funny Christian comic who got a million followers
and you
making $500,000 a year.
More.
Those kids are selling out arenas.
I mean, I'm saying it's crazy.
So there's a niche market for, there's that, even that guy, what's his name?
Darren Criss or whatever his name is, Country Mama or Mama Country or whatever
the hell
his name is.
The guy that got clowned at-
Oh, at Just for Laughs.
At Just for Laughs.
Southern Mama, is that it?
Southern Mama, that's him.
Darren Knight.
Darren Knigh
