Recently, a blog was posted about blogger ShayCarl. Another blogger who ranks among the most subscribed channels is the funny, filthy, oh-so-clever, Bo Burnham. Bo has captured the subscription of many-a YouTuber with his musical comedy that satirizes homophobia and hip hop. He raps about how his family thinks he's gay and sings about a rehab for fictional characters where the Easter Bunny is a crack addict. He was invited to be a part of YouTube Live where he performed "Welcome to YouTube," a song that simultaneously praises the site's availability to the masses and criticizes the over-saturation of meaningless videos.

Bo jumped from the computer screen to the big screen when he was cast in Judd Apatow's latest comedy Funny People. Though his part was small, he is currently working on a film project which Apatow is tailoring for Burnham specifically. So to all the people *coughDerekcough* who doubt the power of YouTube, Bo Burnham is one example of how videos of your average teenager singing in his bedroom can catch the eye of big shot movie directors.

Bo Burnham, with his performance on Comedy Central Presents, has become the youngest performer to ever appear on the program and has also appeared on all three screens. The availability of the internet as a medium for all to use allows for anyone to speak out and be noticed. As Bo says

YouTube is place for people to share their ideas. If by 'people' you mean '13-year-old girls' and by 'ideas' you mean 'how they love the Jonas Brothers.' I'm just kidding but let's honest that's a hefty majority.

All at once Bo gives thanks to and skewers the medium which brought him relative fame and fortune.

Enjoy Bo's performance at YouTube Live, it's the cleanest of his songs that I could find! Also, see his performance in Funny People.
