Bo Burnham: Inside Drinking Game + Cocktail

Bo spent a year alone making this — the least you can do is drink through it.

The Rules

  • Sip — Bo changes a costume or outfit for a new sketch or song
  • Sip — the lighting setup changes dramatically between shots
  • Sip — Bo breaks the fourth wall and stares directly into the camera
  • Sip — Bo mentions 'content' as a concept or commodity
  • Sip — a song transitions directly into a spoken anxiety spiral
  • Drink Twice — Bo laughs or cries in a way that feels genuinely unscripted
  • Drink Twice — a technical glitch or production element is left visible on purpose
  • Drink Twice — Bo references being stuck inside or the passage of pandemic time
  • Shot — 'Welcome to the Internet' begins
  • Shot — 'All Eyes on Me' plays and the lighting goes full strobe
  • Chug — the final scene where Bo walks out of the room and closes the door
