Lyrics Bo Burnham – Traditional Stand–Up

We got a little serious there.
I think «fisting» should be called «upper-cunting»,
And we’re back.

Do you guys like impressions?

Older traditional stand-up comics sometimes have problems with me
Because they think I use music and other stuff
And they think I’m a gimmick, I’m a hack, you know, I’m a gimmick comic
And they’re such comedy purists, they don’t think my comedy can stand on it’s own.
But the truth is, I’m a comedy purist, too.
So I can do comedy without gimmicks.
I’ll show you that right now.
What do you call a kid with no arms and an eye-patch?
Names!
For those listening on the CD, I just gave birth to a dove.

I love traditional stand-up comedy, don’t get me wrong.
I love it. I’m a huge fan of traditional stand-up comics.
A lot of them are my heroes.
And I want to be a traditional stand-up comic
And I’ve been working on some traditional stand-up material and
It’s in its infancy so, please, bare with me, go easy
But this is a bit of my traditional stand-up.

My wife, right.
We never have sex. Like, ever. Which is really funny.
Something else, I never know what she’s saying.
She’ll say something and I’ll be like, «pft.»
You know, she’s constantly emasculating me
And I’m making her resent herself for getting older,
So we’re looking into a divorce.
