Egghead: Or, You Can't Survive on Ideas Alone | Bo Burnham
A strange and charming collection of hilariously absurd poetry, writing, and illustration from one of today's most popular young comedians...EGGHEAD: Or, You Can't Survive on Ideas AloneBo Burnham was a precocious teenager living in his parents' attic when he started posting material on YouTube. 100 million people viewed those videos, turning Bo into an online sensation with a huge and dedicated following. Bo taped his first of two Comedy Central specials four days after his 18th birthday, making him the youngest to do so in the channel's history. Now Bo is a rising star in the comedy world, revered for his utterly original and intelligent voice. And, he can SIIIIIIIIING!In EGGHEAD, Bo brings his brand of brainy, emotional comedy to the page in the form of off-kilter poems, thoughts, and more. Teaming up with his longtime friend, artist, and illustrator Chance Bone, Bo takes on everything from death to farts in this weird book that will make you think, laugh and think, "why did I just laugh?"

Another poem from Bo Burnham. I think we've all been there. 😆

This is the poem Magic from the tagged book. I found it amusing. I love Burnham's stand up. His poetry is proving to be equally goofy.

This is such an odd little book. It has definite Shel Silverstein vibes, if Silverstein said “fuck” a lot. There were a couple poems that were absolutely filthy, and a few that were sweet and touching. It is an interesting mix.

kgriffith Little-known fact: Shel wrote incredibly raunchy songs, a friend had a bootlegged copy of a tape back many years ago. 😏 6y
Bookzombie @kgriffith Yes, he wrote ‘A Boy Named Sue,‘ which was made famous by Johnny Cash. 🙂 I don‘t know that I know any of Silverstein‘s other songs though. 6y

I read this in the bookstore. Typical Burnham: some great moments, some mediocre, fair amount of sex jokes. Worth a flip-through but not purchase.

These poems are a lovely mix- funny, thought-provoking, sad, political, raw, heartwarming, dark... I loved how Bo's writing can draw you right in, but then takes a twist that catches you totally by surprise. And the drawings by Chance Bone were lovely!

I did really like the illustrations and there were a few poems in there that were pretty good.
