Fine, Bo Burnham Is Talented And Adorable

He's a 17-year-old YouTube sensation who has a new iTunes album out on Comedy Central Records, and if you've managed to resist him until now too, give up. His latest video just got 10k views while I wrote that sentence. Yeah, some of his stuff is a little uncomfortably gross, but the kid is clearly amazingly talented. Somewhere, Eminem is shuddering with lyrical (just lyrical) jealousy. (Yeah, I just referenced Eminem):

Via CC Insider, who also have two exclusive videos. I love that he references Venn diagrams and isn't homophobic. He's like Lisa Simpson's bad-boy perfect crush.

His songs are great. His opening monologues, not so much.
